This is the story, of a girl who was trapped in darkness...but one faithful day...a new twist happened in time an space...and this girl began to walk towards the light once again...
This is the story of Lia Floriaras...
A girl with long brown hair up to her knees,in two braids, blue sapphire eyes, red glasses, a black T-shirt with a zip up gray jacket, and gray sweat pants. She Took off her sneakers and sits near the edge of a water fall. Her blue orbs looking up to the sky, deep in thought.
Next to her was her bag. Inside was her cell phone, a solar charger, a old book that's looks like it was used for magic, a medical book, and many other things.
She looks down at the waterfall. She grabbed the magic looking book and stares at. She opens the pages and frowns. The book is filled with made up spells she did as a child and she was pissed off how foolish she was back then.
"Magic...like if it ever existed in the first place..." she grumbled.
She raised her hand and was ready to throw the book in the water. But she hesitated.
The book was nothing but filled with bad memories from the events that happened 15 and eight years ago. Yet why was she hesitating?
She sighs and places the book back. She packs her things and gets up and takes the path that leads deep into the woods.
This is Lia Floriaras. 24 years and an otaku.
As Lia walks down the path, the voices from her past haunt her.
"You killed him..."
"Shut up..." Lia growled.
"He died because of you..."
"Shut up..."
"You should have just become mine..."
"SHUT UP!" She yells.
She then she heard a twig snap. Her eyes became ice cold as she quickly took out her bow and shot at the direction of the sound.
"Watch where you shoot that thing Lia!"
A girl with black hair in a bun, Hazel eyes, wearing a white blouse, black jeans and sneakers.
"You nearly killed me! But on the bright side you caught yourself a rabbit." The girl points to a tree.
Lia looks over her shoulder and sees the arrow sticking threw the tree, with a rabbit she just killed.
The girl picks up the arrow and hands it to Lia, who puts it her other bag.
"What are you doing here Lisa?" Lia said as both continue to walk down the road.
"I came to give you back the manga you lent me. I'm hooked! I'm caught up to the current chapter online. I'm happy you recommend it. Also I finished both seasons of the anime." Lisa said as she went in her backpack and took out a manga.
It was Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic.
Lia smiles and Lisa hands her the book.
"Glad you enjoyed it." Lia grins.
Both continue to talk about anime and manga and it got one point where Lisa asked her who was her anime crush and favorites characters from Magi.
Lia gave her a dead panned looked that screamed "Really?"
"Come on. I told you mine." Lisa said.
"Alright. My Favorite characters are Aladdin, Alibaba, Morgiana, Sinbad, Ja'far, Yamraiha, Pisti, and Muu. Ya happy?" Lia said as they stood infront of her cottage.
"And your crush?" Lisa said.
Lia roles her eyes and thinks.
"I guess...Ja'far...or Sinbad...or..Muu? No...wait... I see Muu like a older brother..." Lia stated as she opens the door.
"BIG SIS LISA!"
A flash of brown hair tackles Lisa onto the floor.
"Isabel!" All threw girls grin.
This is Isabel Floriaras. 11 years old. She has brown hair up to her waist, green eyes, and is wearing a green T-shirt, pink shorts, and flip flops.
"And where is my hug?" Lia pouts.
Isabel let's go of Lisa and hugs her older sister.
"Here it's is!" Isabel grins.
After that, Lisa went to help Isabel with her studies as Lia went to prepare for dinner.
As Lia was cooking dinner, she had her phone connected to her speakers and was listening to the anime radio station.
She was singing to the 4th ending of Magi.

As Lia sang, she didn't notice a faint figure appear on the mirror behind her on the wall.
The figure was a man. The shadows covered his eyes but what were visible was his hair.
Purple...
He looked at girl infront of him. Who was this girl and why was he seeing her? Her back was facing him, but even with her back facing him, he couldn't help but admire the nice body she had. He saw her turn and his eyes slightly narrowed.
She looked...familiar.
He watched the girl turn to his way and walk up to the mirror. He began to panic that she could see him. Blood shed will happen if she did.
He sees her take a damp towel in her hands. She removed her glasses and used the towel to clean her face. His eyes widened when he saw there were dark bags under her eyes.
He sees her sigh. He can tell she hasn't been sleeping very well and looks very tried.
"Screw this..." he saw the girl say.
Then a smirk grew on the girls face. He looked at her confuse.
"LISA YOU OWE ME 50 BUCKS!" The girl all of a sudden yells.
He was taken back but couldn't help but smile when he saw the look of mischief in her eyes.
"I DON'T OWE YOU SHIT!"
He heard another female voice reply and that's when the girl broke out laughing.
Her laughter...it sounded familiar...
The girl laughing and sighs.
"I wish life was this happy for once..." the girl smiles sadly at the mirror.
"She must think she's looking at herself..." the man thought, puzzled.
Then he nearly spits out his drink as he sees her remove her shirt. Lucky for her, it was a tank top.
"Sigh...time to deal with this crappy ass life... and prepare for tomorrow..." the girl growled.
His eyes widened in shock. Her eye filled with zero happiness. Filled with sorrow, hate, and anger towards herself.
The image of the girl faded.
The man woke up from his sleep. He rubbed his eyes.
"Who was she?" He asked himself.
- Back to Lia -
Lisa has now gone home and Lia has tucked in Isabel to sleep. She goes up to her room upstairs. The place filled with anime merchandise. She walks towards a chest and opens it. It is filled with many things. Her eyes gleam with excitement when she squeals in joy.
"I finally found you!" She grins as she takes out a small wooden box.
She opens it and inside is a amethyst necklace.
"Sis..."
Lia turns around and smiles when she sees it's her sister.
Isabel's eyes widened as she walked over to Lia.
"You found it! I thought you lost it!" She said as Lia got up and ruffles her hair.
"I thought so to, Is." Lia said as she held the necklace in her hand.
"You still haven't found who gave it to you?" Isabel asked as she rubbed her eyes.
"No." Lia said.
After that Lia sent her sister back to her bed and Lia went to hers. She laid on her bed looking up at the ceiling.
"At least California has a nice view of the stars in the woods..." Lia mumbled as she sat up and looked out the window.
She holds up the necklace infront of her, looking at it.
"I don't even know who gave you to me after 15 years, yet...I can't bring myself to get rid of you." She mumbled.
She then noticed something. She took out her phone and shines the flashlight on the amethyst.
The eight pointed star symbol. Lia shakes her head and looks again.
"Must have been my imagination." She shakes her head.
Lia then turns of her phone and goes to sleep.
- Dream -
a cliff...
People surrounded by black fighting a boy with purple hair, but the shadows cover his face. A boy with blades, with freckles and white hair, a big man with blue hair, a boy with red hair and sliver armor, a girl with ice blue hair, the shadows covering their identities.
A little girl was behind the boy with purple hair. In front of him, a little boy with black hair, sliver eyes, but sinister evil aura surrounding him.
The little girl stepped forward. The boy of purple hair was trying to get her back but was stopped and had to fight the enemy. The little boy spoke to the girl before him.
"Why...why did you appear here...you should have stayed in that world...
Why won't you just become mine?! What is - to you?!" He screamed.
The little girl spoke.
"I may have come to this world, but honestly I want to remain here. I want to protect the people I love, You may not ever understand...but...I want to stay here. I want to stand by his side. I want to help him become king. I finally understand why and how I feel. This my answer. I love him. So even if I die I will always stand by his side. Even if the future is dark...I want to guild him and save him from the darkness. I love him more than anything. This is my answer." She smiles warmly.
The little boy's lip quivers and his eyes full of hatred and rage. A sinister, murderous aura surrounded him as he raised his sword, filled with the intent to end her life.
"Like hell he'll live!" He swung his sword, releasing a black energy slash, at the boy with purple hair.
Everyone's eyes widen when they saw the little girl pushed him away making the the attack hit her on her chest to her stomach, and sending her flying and falling down the cliff. The attack not only hit her, but also the cliff, cutting a great part of it and making it crumble.
She fell down down to an endless abyss, she can hear her friends screaming her name.
"Thank you for everything...(her hand reaching up as she falls) Please...live..." She closes her eyes and everything becomes black.
-End of dream-
"Don't!" Lia woke up with a sudden jolt.
She was breathing heavily, with beads of sweat all over her face. She felt her hand go to her chest. There she has a scar that goes all the way from her chest to her stomach. The scar that was left after the cat accident. It was a miracle she lived but not so much her parents.
"What was that dream..." She mumbled.
- The Next Day -
The next day, Lia looked terrible. She wore her usually thing but even with the make up you could still she the bags under her eyes.
"Sis...you look terrible..." Isabel was eating some toast.
"Gonna go hunt..." Lia said as she got up and grabbed her bag and left.
It's been about 6 hours and nothing. That voice is still haunting her. Depression has really taken a toll on her. She walked to the waterfall. She stood near the edge and looked down. Her eyes filled with tears,blood shot red. Her eyes lifeless...
it's your fault...
It's your fault...
"It's my fault..."
"It's my fault..."
die,die,die,die,die,die...
Become darkness it's self...
She began to question herself why was she even alive. Even after 15 years, she still blames herself for her parents deaths. And after she sin she committed 8 years ago...
"More of a reason to disappear..." she she held her bag with her.
Lia then threw herself down the waterfall.
"I'm sorry Isabel...
Lisa...
Yura...
Yui...
Ruka...
I'm sorry...
I was nothing but a burden to you..." She cried as she feel down, closing her eyes and accepting death.
She thought she hit water, but she didn't. She was embraced in a warm light, falling into a trance, nothing can be heard. Nothing reaching her ears.
The light disappears. She stood there standing up, looking down, in a trance.
In a room color gold, fill with books and more.
"I know you can't hear me right now. But it's time for you to return back to this world. A great danger approaches, but you will not be alone. Your friends from the other world's you have visited will aid you. Lia...it's time to reunite with your old friends. You and a few others from the world you were born in, will be summoned soon. I believe you will succeed and defeat the darkness in your heart. Please watch Aladdin for me. Thank you...Lia." a man's head supported by little white creatures, sends her to a open door in the sky. Her face faces the light, making her snap out of her trance and cover her eyes due to the blinding light.
KABOOM!
She snaps her eyes open and she sees she's in some old brick building. She hears an explosion and without even thinking she takes a arrow, looks out the window area and shoots it!
"OOWWW!"
"Where the hell did that arrow come from?!"
"It broke through his Borg!"
Her cold eyes returning back to normal and she took a peek out the window, there you saw people, all were hurt but fighting, but she noticed one that had a arrow sticking from his shoulder.
"Who the hell did that?!" A young man that has red, ringed eyes and black medium length hair with a long, segmented ponytail that stretches down to his ankles. He wears purple makeup on his eyes, which fades toward the inner portions of his eyelids.
He sports an Indian chunnari around his shoulders and a small, short-sleeved, black, midriff-baring choli, which is where he keeps his Magic Wand. He also sports an Indian leg dress, which stops at his ankles, but does not wear shoes. He has gold bangle bracelets that extend from his elbows to his wrists and a gold bangle necklace with a ruby in the center that is inspired by Rajasthani folk dancers.
His face was in enraged as he took out the arrow Lia shot from his shoulder. Lia still had her bag with her, she then took out the dagers she carries, and gun(she hunts OK) and began to crept away from on where she was.
"Please save me gods who knows where I am...
Wait that guys looks familiar..." Lia mumbled.
KABOOM!
"KYAA!" The building she was hiding in exploded and then when the dust cleared, she saw someone hovering up in the sky.
"You...you shot that arrow didn't you?!" The dust became clear and she saw who it was.
Her eyes widened in shock. There before her is Judar...
Hundreds of questions were going through her mind. Her face turned to shock, to hundreds of beads of sweat running down her face to swirls in her eyes.
She held her head confused and muttering at inhuman speed...
"Whatthehellisgoingon?!Isthisadream?!Imustbegoingcrazy. There' !Yeah That's it!" Lia continues to mutter non stop.
Not to far away, a certain pink haired general heard what she said and had to cover his mouth to keep himself from laughing.
Judar's face had turned from angry to a face of puzzled as he looked down at the utterly confused Woman infront of him. He noticed the strange clothing she is wearing and was surprised to see both the black and white rukh protecting her and surrounding her lovingly.
"Hey women." Judar spoke and Lia looked up at him with a still shocked face.
She looked up at him and raises her hand.
(A/N: Like in the gif where Aladdin is shock to see Alibaba and Alibaba raises his hand)
"I never seen you before, nor those clothing, nor that black thing in your hand. Who are you?" He asked and Lia couldn't even say a word.
"JUDAR!" A blast of fire came out of nowhere and sent him flying.
"Hey! Are you alright?!" Lia turned to the direction of the voice.
She saw a boy with blonde hair, he wears a small red rope tied around his neck at all times. He initially wore a traditional Arabian outfit with a sash around his waist to hold his knife, black boots with blue stripes, and one earring in each ear. He's wearing red earrings. Next him him, a little boy with medium long blue hair and bangs that stop at his eyes. He has large blue eyes, and a long, thin braid that extends down to his back. He wears a Turban on his head. A ruby sits on his forehead, connected to the turban. He is wearing a small blue open vest with bandages wound around his chest. He wears long puffy white Arabian pants with no shoes. He has his a golden flute around his neck. He also always carried around a wooden staff.
"Aladdin...Alibaba..." Lia was barley able to say.
Before the boys responded...
"Why you little...die!" Judar appears and without even thinking Lia began to shoot her gun at him.
The bullets were deflected but many hit the ice spears he began to create, making them shatter.
Aladdin and Alibaba and everyone had their mouths hanging open at how well her aim is but scare by the look in her cold dead piercing eyes.
"I don't know who you are, but I like that look in your eyes! You're coming with me to the Kou empire." Judar smirks.
"Fuck off Male prostitute and weakling." Lia growled.
Everyone become silent and stunned. Never in the entire world has Judar or anyone ever heard a woman like her speak so cold and vicious. Much less speak like that to Judar.
Judar's eyebrow twitched and his face became angry.
"Why...you little bitch...DIE!" He yells as he points his wand at her.
Lia was just silent as she glared with her cold eyes. Right now she was in rage mode. She took out another gun in her bag and shot twice at Judar.
He used us Borg to deflect it, Lia jump in the air and with him distracted she used her martial arts she learned. Everyone thought there would be no effect because of his borg. But when he punch landed, well...it just shattered, shocking everyone. Lia wasn't paying attention and just continues to punch him. He received a very painful kick, punch, and ect all over him.
"Sinbad who is that..." A man with pale skin, short white hair and green eyes. He also has freckles around his nose. He wears a long drape that covers his entire body, and a green Arabian keffiyeh on his head.
He asked his friend/King next to him.
His friend is a man with tan skin and a muscular build. He has golden eyes and very long, purple hair tied in a ponytail. He wears floor-length purple and white robes.
They watched as she beats him. When she was done she jumped back down and began to walk to Alibaba and Aladdin. Both were beyond shock at what they just witness. Then Alibaba saw a spear of ice coming at him. He wasn't going to be able to move on time. But fate change. Lia pushed him out of the way and horrified to see her get stabbed in the chest and cough out blood.
Sinbad eyes widen. The scene from 15 years ago replayed in his eye as he watch what she did.
"I did something good..." Then Lia's world went black.
She was about to fall of the building but a giant blue hand caught her just on time.
"Ugo?!" Aladdin was shock to see his djiin friend come out and rescue the mysterious woman.
And was more shock that Ugo wasn't blushing. Ugo careful placed the woman down near them. Her long bangs covered her face. He then turned towards Judar and the battle began.
As Ugo and the others fought, a girl with short pink hair and eyes, a white tunic dress, ran to Lia and checked her pulse.
"She's alive!" She sighs in relief and quickly takes badges and wraps them around her wound.
- Time Skip: Battle Over: Later that night -
The battle was over. Right now, everyone is helping taking care of the injured.
The trio and the king and his generals took the woman to a room. There, a doctor treated her stab wound. They left their in the room so she can rest.
They were in the other room, discussing what happened but the main topic was her.
"Morgiana, how is she?" The man known as King Sinbad asked the girl with pink hair.
"She's alright, but what I think saved her was that Kou Princess metal vessel..." Morgiana said.
During the battle the 8th Imperial Princess of the Kou empire showed up. Unfortunately...she defeated Ugo. And was about to go into her djiin equip, but Sinbad stopped her. But something strange happened after he stopped her.
"Why was her metal vessel reacting to the woman?" Ja'far muttered.
"Veina?" The princess looked at metal vessel.
It began to blink light all of a sudden. She notices a girl near Morgiana, bandaged. She slow approaches them and the light on her hair pin began to glow brighter. The others were a cation in case she tried anything. When Kougyoku was bow next to her, her metal vessel glowed brightly and out emerges a water serpent.
Everyone began to get ready to battle but their face turned to confusion when it approach the woman. The serpents eyes soften and gently nuzzles the woman lovingly.
Kougyoku was confuse. Who was this girl? Why was Viena reacting this way? Hundreds of questions were going through everyones eyes.
Kougyoku slowly kneels down and with a trembling hand, moves the woman's bangs.
Sinbad froze and but Kougyoku and everyone was confused.
It was the girl he saw in his dream...
Veina created a small glowing gold water bubble. She gently sets it on the woman's chest and it slowly goes inside of her.
"Cough! Cough! Cough!" The Woman began cough and a sigh of relief washed over everyone.
"Welcome back...My queen."
Everyone eyes widened in shock when they heard the princess djiin say that and even the princess was surprised. After that, Viena went back to Kougyoku's hair pin.
"Ja'far, Masrur, I need to speak with you in private." Sinbad said.
The two generals understood and left outside with them.
"What's wrong?" Ja'far said as he looked at his friend worried.
Sinbad ran his figures through his hair.
"It's her..." he said.
"What do you mean?" Masrur said plainly.
"The girl I saw in my dream." Sinbad looked at them serious.
"Sinbad are you sure?" Ja'far said.
"Honestly, I'm not sure...but she's the splitting image of that girl I saw." Sinbad said as all three of them walk into the room that the maiden was sleeping in.
"I went through her belongings but..." Ja'far said.
"Ja'far, it's rude to go through a woman's belongings." Sinbad chuckled.
Ja'far glares at him.
As they approach the girl, Sinbad felt something familiar about her. He reached out to remove her glasses but stops when he sees her stirring in her sleep.
"Urgh...shut...up..." she mumbled in her sleep.
But the next words make them look at her in shock and horror.
"I...it's my fault...Die...I need to die...it's my fault..." the girl said as some tears fell from her eyes.
They looked at her in shock. As Sinbad looked at girl more closer...He suddenly remembered when he made his first friend 15. When he first met her...
- Flashback:
15 years ago-
"YUNAN! THERE'S A GIRL IN THE WATER!"
"Hold on!"
A little girl was found unconscious floating in the sea. A boy with long purple hair, golden eyes, a man with blonde hair and magic green hat, were on their way from capturing a dungeon back the the boy with purple hair village. There from high in the sky they spotted her. They flew down, and quickly got her out of the water. They landed on land and hoped the girl was okay. The blonde man saw she had many white,but also black rukh protecting her. She then began to react and cough out water.
"Cough! Cough! Cough!"
"Yunan she's alive! Hey what were you doing in the middle if the ocean?!" The purple haired boy yells worried.
"Sinbad! Don't shake her so much!" Yunan smack Sinbad in the head.
The little girl slowly opened her eyes and what she first saw was white little birds flying. Her eyes then saw the two boys that were looking at her. She sat up and rubbed her eyes.
" the last thing I remember was the car accident..." And tears began to fill her eyes.
"Mommy...daddy...(she looks up at the boys) where am I? Who are you?" She looks at them.
"My name is Sinbad. What yours, little one?" Sinbad took her hand and helped her up.
He estimated she was 9 years old. She then took her hand away from him and backed away and points at him.
"You're a womanizer! Womanizer!" She yells and points at him.
He couldn't believe those words just left her mouth and she just called him that. The face he made was priceless. Yunan was trying not to burst out laughing.
"Um little girl where did you learn that...?" Sinbad asked.
"Mommy said if a boy takes your hand and says sweet things he's a womanizer. You're one of those flirts!" She yells and Sinbad just had the life sucked out of him and Yunan broke out laughing.
"What is your name little one? By any chance can you do magic?" Yunan stopped laughing and walks over to her and a sulking Sinbad.
The girls eyes sparkle.
"Yes! Yes! Want to see!?" She said.
Both Sinbad and Yunan look at the girl.
"Alrriah alttanayun aldre!" She stretches out her hands and wind engulf her and a wind dragon surrounded her, protecting her.
She giggles and both Sinbad and Yunan have their mouths hanging open. Yunan asked himself how can a little girl have so much magic. The rukh told him she is not from this world. That the world she comes from has no magic. She would pretend she could do magic.
"The bullies at school always say magic is fake. But that's not true! Look what I was able to do." She giggles and the dragon disappear.
Yunan then realized the girl was a Magi.
"What is your name little one?" Yunan asked.
"My name is..."
-End of Flashback -
"Sinbad. We'll talk to her tomorrow. For right now, she needs to rest." Ja'far said as they began to leave the room.
Who is she?
Sinbad asked himself.
