On a small peaceful village two newborns came to life, a girl with astounding emerald eyes and a boy with gold-like eyes.
both of them born on the same time at the same day was destined for great things one was to be a ruler of a kingdom, the other was to be a Magi. they were to be close friends and their fate was intertwined with each other.
"he taught me how fun it was to laugh with someone" the woman who was once a queen said to her djinn as she neared her end.
"then let me accompany you to the very end, my master, my queen, my lady,Shirin" the djinn known as Shatan said as he kneeled down to his master.
"thank you,Shatan"
the girl closed her eyes as well as the djinn
"Shirin!" a boy with jet black hair shouted as he ran towards a taller girl carrying a pail of water.
"what is it,Judal?" the girl asks in a lady-like manner that suits her despite her status.
"won't you play with me today?" the boy asks
"I can't give you a definite answer, I have chores to do after all" the girl says as she gestures to her home.
Judal weighs his choices of waiting for his friend to finish or to help her. Just when Shirin decides to leave Judal makes his decision.
"Shirin, let me help you~!" Judal cheerily says as he took the pail from the girl and went to lead the way to her house. The girl only smiles and walked beside her treasured friend.
"My queen, he has fallen into despair" Shatan says
"I know that is why even if it is for a week, even for a day or second if I could at least save him from despair I would" she answers
"would you?" the djinn asks, it was in his nature to cast seeds of doubt, a horrible habit the queen once said.
"I would no matter what"
The girl was watching stars in a cliff that hides their small village. she longingly wonders what it feels like to travel all over the world and meeting different kinds of people and creating different kinds of bonds. As she thinks a boy silently creeps behind her and playfully covers her eyes.
"guess who~?"
the girl decides to play along saying the wrong names to entertain her friend before telling his name
"then my most precious Judal?" the girl giggles afterwards unaware of the red-face boy
"you knew it was me from the start right?" the boy pouts his redness gone.
the girl laughs and confirms to what he said.
"hey, Shirin, you know a lot about the stars right?" he says
"yes"
"teach me about it" the boy requests.
The girl could not find her self to deny the boys wishes whether it be the fact he is her precious and only friend or the fact she had grown to fond of him was the reason for this she does not know.
"In that case, right over there is the summer triangle" the girl points to a group of stars in the east.
"the stars that make up that constellation are Altair,Denib and Vega" the girl points the star with the respective names.
"Shirin, do they also have a story?" the boy asks out of curiosity
"yes, they do...would you like me to tell you about it?" the girl offers
"un" the boy accepts.
"Why would you do this much for someone who may have forgotten you by now?"
"because even if he may have forgotten or it had become a distant memory, I would never forget the promise we made and I plan to fulfill it, even if its only for my selfish desire to see him again"
When he is alone, he likes to watch the rukh that goes around him. He likes to listen and watch the world.
When she is alone, she allows her mind to wander and dream about conquering numerous dungeons.
When they are left alone, they spend it together laughing happily sometimes in comfortable silence never did it cross their mind that they would one day part to fulfill their own destiny.
But until then the two would rely to on the other for happiness and stability.
"you had the chance to meet him, why did you not grab it?"
"it is not yet time for us to meet" the girl says but they both know it is a lie and that she might never meet him again
"you are a coward" the djinn says the girl makes no action to rebuff the claim
"Shirin!" the boy says as he hugs the girl from behind. he had by now out grew her
"Judal! don't do that" the girl scolds the boy, by now it was undeniable that the boy loves the girl and shares it. the whole village knows it and teases them about it but they have both have yet to come to terms with it.
the two children continue passing their days like this with carefree attitude. both unaware of the calm before the storm.
"If I could meet him again, I would like to run into his arms and hug him tight never to let go"
"ha, I'd like to see you do that, my queen" The djinn says to his beginner of a master
"well then, if that time comes support my love alright?" the master says playfully and the two continued their travel to the next town.
'just a few more days I would meet him again'
"Shirin!, hurry up and escape take Judal with you!" the mother of the boy says as she shoves the two out of danger desperate to save their lives.
"hurry up and go never look back!"
the two runs off to safety, not daring to look back the girl urges the boy to follow her.
but the boy looks back and desperately tries to remove the firm grip on his hand to save his parents
"Judal! don't you'll only die there!" the girl says trying to dissuade the boy from going back to village. the boy knows the truth from those words and it is wise if he would follow it but he can't for his feelings had taken reign and he rushes back.
the girl taken away by a fellow villager. the boy taken away by the attackers.
"I am Shatan" the djinn of the dungeon says
"for 10 years no one was successful in conquering this dungeon but you have,tell me what is it that you wish for?"
"that I can't tell but would you please help me in my quest?"
the djinn agreed and the two traveled to the east along with the newly acquired reaches of the girl
"Shatan" the girl says
"yes, my master?"
"I am called Shirin" the girl simply says and the djinn smirks in amusement
"a perfect name for a would be queen"
The girl called Shirin has grown by now and has set her eyes in conquering the 56th dungeon named Shatan that had appeared 10 years ago.
