The sun was starting to rise as the Sindrian ship sailed home. Senna was standing at the end of the bow of the ship watching the sunrise.
Today they would all be home and will be at peace…. but for how long?
"Why is it that you are always to first one up besides the crew?" Sinbad said from behind her.
"Because the early bird gets the early worm." Senna said with a smirk as she leaned against the railing as she watched the sky different colors.
"It is a beautiful scenery. Makes me want to go back to the days were we would sail the seven seas together." Sinbad said standing beside her now.
"Yes but you have brought great peace to many people and since you rule a island there is always a chance to sail the seas again." Senna replied with a smile.
"So your not mad at me anymore?"
"Your not off the hook. There will be payback when we get back home." Senna said bluntly.
Sinbad's head hung low at the statement.
"But I guess for now I will partially forgive you." Senna said with a smile as she playfully pushing Sinbad aside.
"Well that is a improvement." He said staring at her.
"You have to promise me that you wont do what you did again. Trouble always follows and normally I have to get you out of it." Senna said staring at him with he deep red colored eyes while her black hair swayed gently.
"I am sorry, it will not happen again. I promise." Sinbad told her with a smile.
"Well with that settled then we can move on and you get to figure out what to tell this Alibaba person the predicament his country is in." Senna said with a sigh as she went back to watching the sky.
"I am not looking forward to doing that. We both did what we could. All we can do is support him as much as we can."
"Something's stop us like a brick wall for a reason. We just have to accept it and try and go around the wall." Senna said with a faint smile.
"How true that is." Sinbad replied.
It was always a grand celebration when Sinbad returns to Sindria. It was understandable. These people look up to him not only as a king but someone they care about, like one big happy family.
"Senna!" a group of children came rushing to her as walked off the boat.
"It is good to see your back!" One child exclaimed.
"It is good to be home. Have you all been good to your mothers?" Senna asked.
They all nodded with big toothy smiles.
"That is good. I have to go with our king. I will play with you all tomorrow." Senna told them.
They all cheered and ran back toward the city.
Sinbad was behind her and only smiled. They were all truly safely home.
"Well you have fun with your meeting with Alibaba." Senna said before leaving Sinbad, Nakiami, Jafa, Spartos and Sharrkan.
"What do you mean? You were in on the negotiations as well." Sinbad told her.
"Yea and this is your punishment for what you did." Senna grinned.
"You said you forgave me." He said pointing at her.
"No, I said I partially forgave you. Plus you created the mess, you clean it up. I was in Heliohapt so I do not know fully what went on." Senna smiled evilly.
"She has a point." Jafar said.
"Well you know where I will be. Have fun explaining everything to Alibaba." Senna said taking her leave down a hallway.
"Ouch." Sharrkan said after Senna was gone from sight.
"Not going to lie your highness but you totally brought it onto your self. Plus she may be doing you a favor by staying out it. Better to have one person explain it than two." Nakiami spoke up.
"Yea what Eshe said." Sharkkan said happily.
"Stop calling me that name and agreeing with me you idiot." Nakiami seethed at Sharrkan.
Senna was sitting in one of the many gardens in the palace reading in the shade of tree when she heard someone yelling about a southern sea creature appearing.
She let out a sigh as she closed the book.
She set the book down and got up to join the people in watching the spectacle of killing a southern sea creature.
As soon as she was in the heart of the city, the people were racing to watch the killing of the beast.
She smiled at the excitement of the people and chatter of which of the eight generals would slay the creature this time.
When she made it within the crowd where the monster was, it did not take long for the show to begin. She watched as Sharrkan and Yanraiha slay the creature.
She clapped with the people at the slaying. She suddenly remember the time when they first came to this island and that is was her and Sinbad that slew the first beast for the people her.
She smiled and decided to join the others on top of the cliff knowing that the visotrs from Balbadd would be there.
Once there she saw that Sharrkan and Yamraiha were fighting again.
"Well you two stop it already, you look like a couple of eight year olds." Senna said as she neared them.
"I see you finally made it up here. I would like to introduce you to our new friends." Sinbad said to her as she walked closer to him.
"Aladdin, Alibaba, Morgiana this is Senna. She was also the other that talked to the Emperor as well as my Emissary for Sindria." Sinbad said introducing them to her.
"Besides Jafa, I am the other one who tries to keep this idiot out of trouble as well." Senna said with a grin.
"That's not nice." Sinbad said to her.
"Only because you know it is true so get over it." Senna said with a smirk.
"Anyways, when I am not able to teach you things about Djinns, Senna will teach you. She is a true master and has much more knowledge about them than I do." Sinbad said changing the topic.
"How many Djinn do you have?" Aladdin asked.
"I have three total at the moment. While a certain someone went on a hunting dungeon spree and acquired seven Djinn, I have three due to me not really like Djinn hunting." Senna said with a smile,
"It would be a honor to have another student to teach about Djinns."
"Another student?" Alibaba asked.
"Nakiami got her first Djinn a year ago and I am still teaching her how to use the equip when fighting. So it will be perfect for you two to practice so you don't get killed in the process." Senna said with a grin.
Alibaba gave her a frightening look.
"Now now Senna lets not scare him. We have afestival to attend now." Sinbad said to her with enthusiasm.
"That we so I shall see you three later tonight. I must go help with the preparations. Until then." Senna said before making her leaving.
Senna was sitting near where the eight generals were just minding her own business gradually getting drunk from the wine she was indulging herself as she stared at the scene before her.
"Master!" Someone yelled at Senna.
Senna looked to her left and saw Nakiami standing there with an angry face.
"Can I help you with something?" Senna said with a cheeky smile.
"You should not be drinking so much wine. You will get drunk and make a fool of yourself." Nakiami exclaimed at her.
"Nah leave me alone. I am content like a cat is content with its delicious milk." Senna said before taking another drink of her wine.
"Master!"
"Awe come on Eshe leave her alone and let her have fun. Come and hang out with me and share a drink." Sharrkan said with a cheeky grin.
"Not in a million years!" Nakiami yelled at him.
"Sharrkan leave Nakiami alone." Yamraiha said as she came over to the scene.
"Go away you useless Magician." Sharrkan said cheeky to Yamraiha.
"Hey Nakiami, wanna help me kill a certain swordsman?" Yamraiha asked.
"I would love to help you." She replied.
They both attacked Sharrkan while Senna calmly grabbed her cup and moved to another table where Pisti and Hinahoho was.
Pisti was laughing at Yamraiha and Nakiami.
"What are they doing?" Jafar asked.
"How should I know and before you ask any more questions lets make the point hat I am innocent until proven guilty." Senna said before finishing her wine.
"You do know that the guilty person always says that." Hinahoho said.
"Yea well this time I was minding my own business." Senna said with a smile.
"Will you three be more civil!" Jafar yelled at the three as he went over to break up the fight.
Sinbad was laughing at the scene while Senna decided to get up and leave.
"Where are you off to?" Sinbad asked her.
"I promised some of the village children that I would go play games with them. I will see you later." Senna replied.
"Stay out of trouble." He told her with a sly smile.
"I should be telling you that." Senna said with a smirk as she left.
As soon as she made it to where everyone was, a bunch of village children rushed to her pulling her to where all the games were.
Sinbad smiled at the sight.
It was the middle of the night. The festival was long over with and Senna found herself at the edge of one of the many gardens looking the rest Sindria.
The stone railing she sat on was the only thing keeping her grounded from not flying away.
Senna then started to sing.
Idolem urodo iatu a wi rot,
Ukufu kush onuoy nehawuoch.
Etia di ukoik ura nakurah,
Enadu yoimi nnesar urugem.
Eteako ich atak-
Ureatu tso oodah.
Amia wibo koro yonneie!
Unknowing to Senna as she finished her song she had a spectator watching her.
" It ceases to amaze me how angelic your voice is. It can soothe the most irritated people to be more calm." A voice behind her said.
"And it is also rather rude Sinbad to sneak up on people and not announce themselves." Senna said with a smirk.
"Oh come on Senna. How long have we been friends?" Sinbad said walking up beside her.
"Way too long. So long I have truly lost count." Senna said facing him with a cheeky smile.
"That long huh. I still remember the girl at the harbor in Parthevia trying to find out her heritage and ended up on the run with me since you were found just talking to me." Sinbad lamented.
"Yea but if that never happened, we would never became very good friends and I would be stuck wandering around like a stray cat." Senna said looking over the city from her perch.
"What was the song you were singing? It is one of the few I have never heard you sing." Sinbad asked her.
"It was one that my Djinn, Ipos, taught me when we first met." Senna replied, "
The birds sing a dancing melody,
Butterflies are a strange blessing.
Embrace distant memories
And entrust yourself to a circling spiral.
Change form-
Tell [others] of this wave motion-
Eternal joy is now!"
"I keep forgetting that Ipos is a sound Djinn so it would make sense that you would use something that dealt with sound." Sinbad said to her.
"Yes, they say words cut deeper than any man made weapon." Senna turning her head to stare at him with her red eyes.
"I have a question for you and I want to keep it between each other. Do thing you can do that?" Sinbad asked her.
"Of course, you can trust me with anything." Senna said with concern in her eyes.
"You already now that I am halfway into depravity. If I finally fall into depravity so much, will you stop me before I possibly lose humanity?" He asked her.
She smiled and set her hand gently on his cheek.
"There will never be day that would happen because I will be here to grab your hand and bring you the realm of light." Senna said staring into his eyes.
"Glade to know that you would bring me out the depths of darkness."
Author's Notes:
I was surprise by the PMs I was getting asking when the next chapter would be out. I will be honest to say I did not think anyone would like this story. How wrong I was. Well anyways.
If you are a Final Fantasy music freak like me you might have recognized the song I used. If not I will put a link at the end of this note for you to listen.
I will give a disclaimer that I do not own the song in anyway….I wish but no. I will try to get the next chapter out as soon as I can.
You people are awesome.
