" I think I don't need to say that I really don't like it, Little Brother"
Sinbad who was holding the tiller, only made face at Doubar. But somehow he felt that he had his rigths.
The sky was still cloudy, not only during the day but also at night. No stars, no navigation.
" We don't even know where exactly we are sailing…"
" Maeve knows! And I will follow her…." His voice trembled "… no matter where"
Doubar took a deep breath. He knew about the feeling that his brother had for the sorceress. He could not understand why Sinbad was so afraid to tell her. Actually he knew that both of them are still pretending. It was like a curse which did not allow them to say how much they care for each other.
"Land ho!"
"Go to her, I will pick the tiller" Doubar said and took over the tiller from his brother.
Sinbad hurriedly went to Maeve who was sitting in her cabin surrounded by tons of books. Including the one they had stolen recently.
The door was open so he did not knock. Even so, she quickly noticed him. Their eyes met.
Sinbad smiled " We are there…"
That was the news she had been waiting for. The optimism appeared on her face. But she did not say anything.
"Good book?" Sinbad pointed at the one they had stolen.
She awoke.
"Wow, yes… " Maeve took a deep breath, she knew it is a time that she has to tell him more about her idea.
"It is a book of Amos Var Yapsis – great sorcerer of red magic…"
Sinbad sat down next to her.
"… He is an expert on Gins…"
"Gins...?" Sinbad interrupted. He was shocked.
"Yes, don't tell me you never heard of them…?"
He winced. "Yes, I heard the stories, three wishes and so but..."
"Three wishes it is only a legend. Gin must follow his master for the whole life. They hate people for this and they are very mischievous and…"
"… and dangerous." Sinbad finished. His experience finished.
"Maeve why are you so interested in that?"
She looked deeply into his eyes "Only Gin is powerful enough to brake the curse"
They both know about who's curse she was talking. He promised to help her with that one. And he will not rest until they complete it.
They were silent for a moment. Then Sinbad grabbed her hand.
"So let's find one" They both smiled.
