~Part 2 of prologue
After the bandits had left the carrage and took everything that looked like it had some value. "okay, i think we're safe to come out now shu, come here" Amirah said while getting out of their hiding place and looked arround, where could there parents be, her Dad would've never let this happen, if he knew bandits where arround, they would've beaten the... something out of them.
shulluw came out of the hiding place too and looked arround, "heey Ami, can i have an hug, i'm getting sc-scared" shulluw sniffed and sobbed, and almost started to cry, Amirah pick Shulluw up and started walking.
"it's okay Shu, don't worry, we will find our parents, i'm sure of it, so you don't have to be scared okay" Amirah said, while smiling.
But actually, even Amirah hoped to find their parents soon, so while she held Shulluw in her arms, she started to look for their parents,
But no matter where she looked or searched, they where nowhere to be found.
Shulluw started to get hungry and was really tired because for both of them it had been an really long day, ' Shulluw must be tired by now, she still young and needs to rest, but where can we sleep without being found out by bandits ' Amirah thought, Suddenly there was an movement, for a moment Amirah thought that the bandits had returned and that they where found out, she turned arround, and there was just a boy, a little older than Amirah herself or so it seemed, standing there confused to see two girls all alone.
"what are you two doing here?" the boy asked, looking at the both of them.
Amirah didn't know if she could trust the boy, who was now if front of her, so she wisely backed away and said not even one single word. "my name is Saladdin, what are your names?" he asked the two girls, Amirah held Shulluw in one of her arms and with the other she tried to get her dagger. "you don't have to use violence you know" Saladdin said, showing both of his hand, "see i don't have weapons either, no need to be defensive" Saladdin said.
Amirah looked a little annoyed, "not defensive!?, there are bandits around here, who says you're no one of them, who would like two girls like us " she warned Saladdin not to come closer, but saladdin soon focussed his arttention towards the small Shulluw, "hello there little one"he said with a smile " would you like to see a magic trick?".
Shulluw looked from Amirah to the boy who claims to be called Saladdin, and nodded, "yes~ I would like to"Shulluw said with an smile.
Shulluw jumped out of Amirah's arms and ran towards Saladdin.
Amirah wanted to stop Shulluw , but she was already standing next to Saladdin, "Shu, come back here!".
Shulluw turned around, "But Ami, i wanna see some magic trick" she said while pouting.
So she ran towards Saladdin, and as he picked her up he used one of his water magic spells to show Shulluw a trick, he made water figures in all kinds of shapes and sizes and, one was an elephant and the other was some kind of weird fish, Shulluw had to laugh,"it looks weird"she said giggling, Saladdin pouted jokingly,"you don't like my big fish, Shulluw shook her head and looked at it. "it's weird, and cute, it's as if I can see all these animals up close", after 3 or 4 more tricks Shulluw started to yawn, watching the magic show took more of her energy than she thought it would, Saladdin gave Shulluw back to Amirah as she stood next to him now.
"Ami, Ami! Did you see the magic trick? They look so real!" Shulluw was so excited that before Amirah could answer she fell asleep. 'at least Shulluw was distracted for a moment, but right now it's best that we can find a place to stay until we find our parents' Amirah thought and looked at Saladdin, is he really trust worthy, so yes would it be possible to stay with him until they were reunited with their parents, or at least out if this forest, away from the horde of bandits somewhere nearby. In the mean time Amirah was thinking about what to do saladdin was waiting, waiting for her to make a decision. Amirah looked at Shulluw, ' For Shulluw to trust someone so easily, must mean something, right? Can we, can I trust this person?' Amirah thought it over for quite some.
And finally Amirah made an decision, until they knew more about their parents where abouts, they should stay with Saladdin, "Can we really stay with you for a while?" Amirah whispered, not knowing if she spoke loud enough for Saladdin to hear, but Saladdin nodded, stood up and signed her to follow him. "Let's go than" he said and Amirah followed him into the mountains, quietly with Shulluw still in her arms.
Later that evening they arrived at Saladdin's humble little house deep inside the mountains, on their way Saladdin already informed Amirah that it was just an empty house he used for the time being, since it was empty from the inside he and his companion thought they could use it as shelter.
Amirah was kind of curious who this companion was, since he wouldn't tell her more about that person, was his companion a girl, or a boy? Was he or she Young or old?
While Amirah was thinking about this, Shulluw took this change to climb on everything, or to pick up small but dangerous animals. But as soon as Amirah started to glare at her even I fit was just for a couple of seconds, Shulluw would say it was unfair or that her Daddy would be proud if she brought some of these with her. But Amirah didn't allow it her to take anything, since she didn't want Shulluw to get hurt.
Shulluw on the other hand still didn't listen and climbed up a smaller hill, there she found some gorgeous flowers, they didn't look like they could poison or hurt someone, so she took them to surprise Amirah.
She climbed downstairs again where Saladdin and Amirah where waiting. Amirah tapped with her feet, Shulluw knew that wasn't a good sign, "I found something for you" she said, holding out the flowers for Amirah.
when she saw these floweres, Amirah didn't know what to say anymore, so she huggd Shulluw "thankyou Shu"she said, " but no more running off, got it" she said strictly, Shulluw pouted her cheeks, but Amirah didn't fall for that trick, "okay" Shulluw had to give in and said: "than would you carry me?" Amirah couldn't hold in her laughter, "okay, okay" she says, and carried Shulluw on her back. "sorry for the wait Saladdin, I think she kinda was tired to begin with, but didn't want to give in".
after Finally arriving at Saladdin's house, they let Shulluw sleep in one of the beds and Amirah and Saladdin where drinking some tea in the living room. They talked about how Amirah, Shulluw and their parent got here and what happend when they fell asleep.
Saladdin couldn't believe his ears, maybe he could help the two girls find back their parents, " that is indeed a difficult situation you two are in, sadly I haven't seen anyone besides you two" he said and took a sip of his tea. Thinking about all the possibilities on how to find their parents.
"why don't you go to sleep, you can travel with and empty stomach and a sleepless night, right?" Saladdin suggested and pointed towards the bedroom Shulluw was sleeping right now. Amirah went in on his suggestion and went towards the bedroom, "say Saladdin, you're not so bad as I thought you were" She said smiling before going to bed, because tomorrow was going to be a really big day for all of them.
