Here is chapter 2! I hope you all will like it. I do not own Sinbad Legend of the Seven Seas. It is owned by Dreamworks. I only own my OC.

Chapter 2

As nightfall came, the stars were shining brightly like diamonds against a navy blue sky. In a silver tower where a bright white light was shining was where the book of peace was at.

At the palace where the royal family lived, there was a large party occurring. Almost everyone was invited. All were celebrating the arrival of the book.

The same woman from the boat that arrived that day was walking to the entrance of the party.

She now had her long brown hair in an elegent bun. Around her head was a silver circlet with a small light blue gem in the middle. She had silver tear earrings and a silver bracelet on her left wrist. She wore a dress of light blue. A gauzy light blue material was around her long skirt that fell to the floor. She had a sweetheart bodice and her shoulders were exposed. Her sleeves were made of the same gauzy blue material for the skirt, the sleeves had an opening at the elbow and was open to the wrists. Now being able to see her eyes, she had long thick eyelashes with light purple eyeshadow. Her eyes were a beautiful sky blue that sparkled. She had soft pink lips and a heart shaped face. Her skin was lightly tan and a light rosy blush accompanied her cheeks.

As she was nearing the entrance, she saw four men that did not look like they were invited.

One man was wearing black and red and seemed taller than her. An tall African man with a tattoo on his shoulder and no shirt stood by him. A very tan man that was very thin and shorter than the man in red and black and had messy black hair. And another man had curled black hair wearing a black glove was there too. And at the man in red and black's side was a bull dog that went to the man's knee.

Stopping them from entering was the guards that protected the palace.

The woman looked amused at the sight.

To her, she could only think of one word when she saw these four men.

Pirates.

The woman smirked and thought to herself. 'Things just got a little interesting.'

Suprisingly, the men were allowed in. The dog and the red and black clothed man walked in. But the guards stopped the other three.

The tall man then reached behind him and grabbed two daggers. The guards flinched in fear. But the man just chuckled and set them on the table and walked in. The short man did the same, and the last man kept pulling out weapens out of pockets that nobody thought was with the man. The guards just dropped lower and lower as they saw the weapens.

The woman laughed to herself as she walked to the entrance. The guards heard her footsteps and looked at her suspiciously as she arrived.

"who are you?" the guard asked.

The woman just smiled. "I am Kiara. I am here to see my sister, Ambassador Marina. Surely, my sister has mentioned me."

The men relaxed and gestured for her to go in. "our apologies, ma'am. Welcome."

Kiara nodded her head and walked in. "Thank you."

She turned her head around and held in her giggles as she saw the men return to gawking at the man who was still emptying his weapens.

Kiara turned to the party and began her search.

She took a good look at everyone until she found who she was looking for.

A woman who had dark brown hair in a intricate updo with a golden circlet with a sky blue tear gem hanging in the middle. She had golden hoop earings and hoop bracelets. She had a heart shaped face similar to Kiara except hers was more narrow. She had ocean blue eyes with light eyeshadow and a slightly darker pink lip color than kiara. She had the almost the same skin color as Kiara, except her's was a little lighter. She wore a gauzy blue shirt that covered her shoulders and stomach. Over the top was a dark blue wrap top that tied onto one shoulder and a long wrap skirt that was the same color.

Kiara instantly recognized her as her older sister. By only a year.

Kiara silently walked over to her and tapped her on the shoulder. "Hey Marina."

Marina turned to face Kiara in confusion. "Do I know you?"

Kiara mocked faint hurt. "oh c'mon don't tell me you've forgotten your only sister!"

Marina's eyes widened as she slowly recognized the woman. "Kiara? Is that you?"

She smiled as she nodded. Marina smiled happily and hugged her sister tightly. Kiara did the same.

Marina sniffled a little. "I can't believe it's really you. I haven't seen you for 10 years."

Kiara chuckled lightly, but she had small tears in her eyes. "Sorry I took so long. But you know me. I always loved being at sea."

Marina pulled back and looked more closely at her sister. "you've really changed since I last saw you. You've grown beautifully."

Kiara blushed. "thanks sis. So have you."

Marina smiled. "thank you." Marina placed her arm around Kiara's shoulders and kiara placed her arm around Marina's back and together they walked around the party.

"So what have you been up to? I want to hear of all your great sea adventures." Marina said excitedly.

Kiara laughed. "Where do I start? I've been to almost everyplace of the sea, but there's a few more places I haven't seen yet."

Marina smiled, but was also a little sad.

Kiara noticed it, and frowned a little too. "Maybe, when I go, you can come with me?"

Marina sighed. "I wish I could."

They both wanted to explore the seas together. They've dreamt of that since they were children. But it wasn't made to be.

Kiara decided to change the subject. "hey enough of the sad and gloom. What about you? Wheres this prince I've heard so much about?"

Marina smiled. "oh he's around here somewhere. Wait till you meet him. He's great."

And speak of the devil.

They heard a man clear his throat. "Sinbad, I would like to introduce you to my fiancé, the Lady Marina, ambassador from threce." a man with a light British accent said.

Marina released her sister and grabbed the hand of the man who spoke.

Kiara looked at the man who was referred to as Sinbad and recognized him as the man from the entrance.

He had windswept dark brown hair and a thin beard lining around his mouth and a goatee. He seemed to be Marina's age. He had the same skin color as Kiara, except his was a little darker. He had strong features. He had ocean eyes. He had a black shirt with red edging, exposing his shoulders and arms that were slightly muscular. Brown wristbands were around his wrists. He had red pants and black boots.

He looked at Marina in awe and looks as though he recognizes her.

Marina placed both of her hands around her fiances arm. "so this is the infamous Sinbad? I heard all about this morning. First you try to rob Proteus, and then you save his life. So which are you? A thief or a hero?"

Sinbad didn't answer.

Marina then looked as though she remembered something. "oh I almost forgot. You're not the only one with a surprise guest, Proteus."

Marina turned around and grabbed Kiara's arm, who was watching Sinbad's dog eat through a table of food.

"Proteus and Sinbad, I want you to meet my younger sister, Kiara."

Marina brought Kiara up to Sinbad and Proteus.

Kiara smiled and nodded politely at Sinbad, but when she saw Proteus, she had a look similar to Sinbad's when he saw Marina.

Proteus was a very tall man. He was slightly taller than Sinbad. He had straight light brown hair that went a little past his shoulders and was in a low pony tail. He had deep blue eyes. His skin color was similar to Marina's. His feature were strong and his face was slightly narrow. He wore blue clothing of different shades that was tightly fitted perfectly. There was a light blue sleeveless coat that went to his ankles. He had a gold sash that went from his right shoulder to his left hip. On the sash where his right shoulder was at there was a blue crescent moon badge on.

Proteus smiled kindly at Kiara. "I'm glad we finally meet. Marina has told me a lot about you."

Kiara snapped out of her small daze and curtsied politely. "It's a pleasure to meet you, your highness."

Proteus just laughed. "Please, no need for formalities. I'm just Proteus."

Kiara lightly giggled. "Of course. Its nice to meet you both." she said as she smiled kindly at Sinbad.

Sinbad nodded politely.

Proteus and Marina looked at eachother for a moment and Kiara noticed at the corner of her eye that Sinbad left silently.

"Sinbad wanted me to give an opportunity to thank . . ." Proteus looked up to look at Sinbad, but found out that he was gone. "him?"

Marina and Proteus looked around confused. "Where could he have gone?" Proteus asked confused.

Kiara shrugged. "Don't know. I'll catch up with you two later, I'm gonna go get a drink."

With that, she walked away.

As soon as she was out of Proteus and Marina's hearing range, she sighed heavily.

"And here I thought I was finally over what happened." Kiara said to herself.

Kiara looked up and saw Sinbad at the drinks looking a little depressed.

Quietly, she walked over to him. She was right beside him, but he didn't notice her.

"So, here to steal the Book of Peace?" kiara asked quietly and casually.

Sinbad was sipping a drink, but when he heard Kiara, he nearly spit his drink out on a bystander. Instead he just coughed. As he recovered, he looked at Kiara in surprise.

"uh, what makes you think that?"

Kiara just grabbed and cup and drank from it. "So you are?"

Sinbad continued to look surprised. "No. No we're not. What makes you think . . ." Sinbad realized that it was no use lying. He sighed, defeated. "How'd you know?"

Kiara smirked. "Because a man like you, wouldn't pass up a chance to steal that book. But from the way you were looking before, it looks like you've changed your mind, right?"

Again, Sinbad was surprised.

"Besides, as a pirate myself, I know my treasures."

Sinbad's eyes went wide. "You . . . You're a pirate?"

Kiara nodded. "Yup. Ever heard of the 'Jewel of the Sea'?"

Sinbad nodded, and looked a little bored. "Yeah, everyone at sea has heard about her. But not many have met her. Why?"

Kiara gave him a look that said 'Hello?'

"because I'm her."

Sinbad's jaw dropped. "You're . . ?!"

Kiara just nodded.

Sinbad lightly chuckled. "wow, a legend right in front of me."

"Yup. So I'm wondering, what made you change your mind about the book?"

He cast his eyes downward. "No reason."

Kiara looked skeptic at him. "yeah right. I know why. Its because of my sister, isn't it?"

Sinbad just looked into his drink in the goblet sadly, and Kiara instantly knew the answer.

She looked sympathetic at Sinbad. "I know how you feel. I felt the same thing 10 years ago." she said as she sighed heavily and glanced at her sister and Proteus.

Sinbad followed her glance and looked at Kiara with the same sympathy.

Kiara decided to change the subject. "So, since your not stealing the book, what are you going to do?"

Sinbad smiled smugly. "Me and my crew are going to Fiji!"

Kiara raised an eyebrow. "Fiji? At this time of the year?"

"Think of the beaches."

Kiara rolled her eyes. "Oh yeah, if you like being eaten alive by Mosquitos."

"think of the sun."

Kiara looked in thought. "isn't it supposed to be monsoon season?"

Sinbad sighed in happiness. "Ah, and the women."

Kiara crossed her arms. "Yeah, those women, are cannibals."

Sinbad nudged her with his elbow. "Exactly."

Kiara looked at Sinbad as if he was an alien. "your definition of paradise is different from mine. Listen, Sinbad, take it from me, going to Fiji, it's like accepting a death wish."

Sinbad rolled his eyes. Clearly not listening.

Kiara groaned. "Look, before you start thinking that I don't know what I'm talking about, I actually have a place far better than Fiji."

That got his attention.

"I'm listening. Keep going."

Kiara smirked. "Well this place has perfect weather all year. A rain shower everyday, but it doesn't last for long, so it's usually sunny all day. Great fish and coconuts. Great ocean views. Lush tropics. Golden sand and silver clouds. The island breeze is amazing. And the people there are super nice and non cannibals. The whole island is practically a treasure. Actually, there's more than just one island. It's nearby other islands, but they are all the same paradise. If your crew goes there, you guys will be set for life."

All of this definitely had Sinbad's full attention.

"wha . . . where . . where is this place?"

Kiara smirked even wider and plucked a map from under her skirt. She unrolled it and slammed it on the table.

"Say 'Aloha' to Hawaii."

On the map, where it says Hawaii, there where eight islands very close to eachother.

Sinbad practically had his eyes falling out of their sockets.

Eight islands that were practically treasures? He was in heaven.

Before Sinbad could grab the map, it was snatched up by a smirking Kiara.

Sinbad looked at Kiara with a beaten puppy look.

Kiara chuckled at him. "uh-uh. Not so fast. How much gold you got on you?"

He looked confused. "What?"

"These maps were custom made, Sinbad. I can't just give them away freely. Plus, I need some traveling money."

Sinbad scowled at her but went into his pocket and grabbed a bag of gold. He handed it to her.

Kiara quickly checked the bag to see if the gold was real. Once she was satisfied, she handed the map to Sinbad.

"You are devious, you know that?" he said still scowling, but satisfied.

Kiara mocked faint hurt. "oh 'devious' is such a harsh word. I prefer to use the word 'enterprising'."

"oh 'enterprising'" he said mockingly.

Kiara smirked and chuckled. "well, nice doing business with you. Have a safe sail."

She walked away, hiding the gold under her skirt.

She was walking over to the balcony that showed the tower that the book of peace was at and showed a gorgeous view of the sea.

As she was approaching she saw a man that looked a lot like Proteus, except older.

He had a more muscular appearance and was about the same height as Proteus. He had white wavy hair that was in a low ponytail. He had the same skin color as Proteus and dark blue eyes. He wore clothing that were blue an gold.

'This must be Proteus's father.' Kiara thought to herself.

"I think the delegates from Noli are trying to give a toast. Although I'm not sure, they're doing something with their knees. Marina, I need an ambassador." Proteus's father said.

Marina and Proteus seemed a little frustrated, but Marina just smiled. "Of course."

With that, Marina and the King walked back inside, leaving Proteus outside.

He rubbed his hands against his face, looking frustrated. "Couldnt you have waited a couple more minutes, father?" Proteus said to himself.

Kiara leaned against a pillar as she watched Proteus.

She looked sympathetic at him. "you alright?" she asked, making herself known.

Proteus looked startled as he looked in her direction, but calmed down as he realized who it was. "Yes, I'm fine." he turned his back to her and leaned his elbows onto the balcony, looking out to the sea.

Kiara moved from the pillar and went to stand by Proteus. "You sure? You seemed a little distressed."

Proteus sighed as he looked up at her. "Is it that obvious?"

Kiara smiled as she nodded. "Yeah, a little bit." she said as she giggled a little.

Proteus joined in her laugh. Then Proteus stopped as he looked to the sea, entranced by it.

Kiara followed his gaze and noticed the way he was looking toward the ocean.

She smiled at him. "the sea is alluring, isn't it?"

Proteus glanced at her as he smiled. "yeah, I can see why Sinbad and Marina love it so much." he sighed, almost depressed. "in a way, I'm kind of jealous of Sinbad. He gets to travel the sea and not worry about anything."

"I always thought you were a land lover."

Proteus shrugged. "Sometimes. But most of the time, I want to be at sea. Kind of selfish, huh?"

Kiara shook her head. "No. You know, Proteus, it's okay to be a little selfish sometimes. Its only natural to feel like that. I may not know you that well, but I can tell that you are not selfish."

Proteus nodded. "I suppose."

"So tell me, is it just you and your father, or do you have any relatives?" Kiara asked curiously.

Proteus thought to himself. "I do have a cousin. He is about 18 years old. His name is Garrett. After my uncle passed away, my father took him in. I treat Garrett as if he is my brother. Sinbad treated him the same way. Back then, it was just us three. The three musketeers." he laughed at the thought. "Garrett is definitely not a little boy anymore. He's just as proud to have the book here as much as my father."

Kiara glanced at the tower where the book of peace was illuminating it's bright light. "I've never seen anything like that."

Proteus looked confused at her. Kiara gestured with her head to the tower. He followed her gaze and looked at her surprised.

"You're really interested in it?" Proteus asked.

Kiara nodded, a little confused. "Yes. In all my travels, I've never seen anything like it. It's quite a sight. But why are you so surprised?"

Proteus looked a little sheepish. "Well, whenever I talk about it, or try to, Marina always loses interest."

Kiara laughs softly. "Thats Marina. She's been near architecture her whole life, so she gets a little bored. But she is interested."

Proteus laughs. "Well that makes sense now."

"So could you tell me about it? I'm kinda curious about it." kiara asked.

Proteus nods. "Of course. There are guards at every level. And if you look just at openings, you can actually see the book."

Kiara squinted as she tried to see it. "I can't see it."

Proteus chuckles lightly. "Here, I'll show you." he grabbed her right hand and pointed it to the direction he was looking at. "Do you see it now?"

Kiara blushed as Proteus grabbed her hand. Her heart began beating fast and loudly. Kiara just hoped Proteus didn't hear it.

She nodded to his question when she could finally see the book.

But little did Kiara know, was that Proteus felt a small spark when he grabbed Kiara's hand.

As he glanced down at her, he saw how her eyes sparkled in the bright light.

Kiara blushed even brighter as she noticed that Proteus was looking at her. She was thankful that it was too dark to notice.

All of a sudden the ground began shaking. And some of the buildings began to crumble.

Proteus and Kiara gasped and jumped back in shock. They looked around as they saw the panic at the party.

Marina ran up to them, fear in her eyes. "Kiara! Proteus! The book!"

All three of them ran closer to the balcony and saw that the tower was dark.

There was no book.

Fear surrounded the three as they saw the tower.

A large swirling cloud arised from the tower and came forth. It grew bigger and bigger as it came closer to the palace.

Proteus brought Marina and Kiara close to him, to shield them from what was happening.

Everything went dark, and cracks appeared on the buildings. The darkness spread everywhere.

As soon as Proteus decided to release the women, he looked around in horror.

Marina looked to her sister and saw the fear in Kiara's eyes. Marina had the same fear.

"kiara, are you alright?" marina asked concerned.

Kiara nodded, shivering in fear. "I . . I think so?"

Marina looked to Proteus. "Proteus, what could have done this?"

Proteus looked at Marina and Kiara with a grim look on his face.

"Someone stole the Book of Peace."

And cliffhanger! Don't hate me for it! So what do you think? Love it or hate it? Let me know. I'll update the third chapter as fast as I can. See you all next time! Please review!
