Chapter 8 - Future Sight
"Sapphire...submit to me. You've seen all that I've done. You've seen who I am! YOU KNOW WHAT I'M CAPABLE OF! I HAVE CHANGED THE WORLD AND EVERYONE SUBMITS ONLY TO ME! I AM A GOD!"
An attractive older woman trembled, in front of the older man with a muscular build and long purple hair. The woman was an older version of myself. I'd say about 32, and the man...looked...like...Sinbad...!
"Sin-Sinbad..." She trembled. She did everything she could to keep a calm composure, but failed. She was too frighten of this man. To frighten of Sinbad.
"Sapphire. All the nations of the world, both big and small have joined the Alliance! THEY HAVE JOINED ME! I ALONE HOLD THE POWER TO CONTROL THE FLOW OF DESTINY IN THIS WORLD!" Sinbad yelled.
"Sin-Sinbad...please-please stop. You're-you're scaring me." The older version of myself pleaded.
"Why. Can't you see Sapphire. I HAVE FINALLY UNTIED THE WORLD! Finally...FINALLY THIS WORLD IS FREE OF WAR! AS LONG AS I HOLD THE REINS OF THIS WORLD, EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE!"
"Sinbad...no...no..."
"YES! heh heh. Yes. I HAVE TAKEN THE POWER FROM THE SACRED PALACE! AND WITH THAT POWER I HAVE BECOME A GOD!" Sinbad proclaimed.
"What?" She questioned.
Sinbad smirked wickedly. "Heh, I have surpassed the abilities and limits of a Kings Vessel. Then I guess, you could call me a 'Gods Vessel."
"Sinbad..." The older version of myself trembled even more now. She could barely stand...
"Heh. Are you afraid Sapphire? Do you fear me?! I HOLD THE WORLD'S POWER IN THE PALM OF MY HAND! I'M EVEN STRONGER THEN THE MAGI ALADDIN, WITH OR WITHOUT MY METAL VESSELS! ha ha ha AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"No...no it can't be...it can't be possible...no ordinary human can surpass the power of a magi!"
Sinbad smirked. "You know I'm no ordinary human. No. In fact I'M NOT A HUMAN AT ALL! I AM A GOD! WITH THE POWER I POSSESS, NO ONE WILL EVER DEFY ME, EVER! HAHAHAHAHA!"
"Sinbad..."
"Is that all you have to say my lovely? My name? Have you nothing else to say? Are you that speechless me dear?"
The older version of myself was silent.
"Ha! Well then...I guessed these nothing more for you to do then is there?" Sinbad grabbed my older self forced by the arm. "Submit to me Sapphire. You have no choice!"
"Muu with save me..." She muttered.
"Muu? HA! That fool will do no such thing." He tightened the grip on her arm, so much it made her cry in pain. "If that Muu knows what's good for him, he'll leave you alone."
"Wh-Why?" She cried.
"Because...you are mine." Sinbad tried to kiss the older version of myself, but she turned way. Sinbad snarled and forced her to look at him. Then, he forced his lips onto hers. Tears fell down her face, and she whimpered and cried in pain.
"No one will deny me...for I have brought hope and peace to this world..." He muttered on her lips.
When they parted, my older self ran, ran out of that room and far away from Sinbad.
"HAHAHA! YOU CAN TRY TO RUN AND HIDE SAPPHIRE! BUT KNOW THIS! I WILL ALWAYS FIND YOU SAPPHIRE! ALWAYS! AND ONE DAY! YOU WILL BECOME MINE! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Sinbad's evil laughter echoed throughout the empty halls of this place, as my older self ran farther and farther away from Sinbad. And those evil words he spoke, echoed deeply inside my older self, and mind.
I opened my eyes and looked around. I was still in a tent in the Torran Village in the Dark Continent. "It's was all just a dream..."
"Are you all right Sapphire?"
I looked at Ryubebe who was curled up next to my pillow.
"I sense great amount of fear from you. Did you have a bad dream?"
"...Yeah...I think so. I'm not actually sure what to call it."
"What do you mean?"
"Well...the dream I had was like the one I had before..."
"You mean the one where you were fighting Sinbad in the future?"
"Yes...only this time it was different."
"How so?"
"Well, just like in the other dream, I saw an older version of myself and an older version of Sinbad. I think we were in our 30s. Sinbad was ordering me to submit to him. I had a...uneasy feeling about it, I don't know whether it is fear, or uncertainty..."
"I see..."
"There's more. Sinbad said that he surpassed the power of this Magi called Aladdin. The older version of myself said that it was impossible for a ordinary human to surpass the power of a Magi."
"But Sinbad isn't an ordinary human..."
"That's exactly what Sinbad said. He also said that surpassed the limits and abilities of a Kings Vessel. So he called himself...a Gods Vessel..."
"Sapphire, that's impossible, even for Sinbad to surpass the limits and abilities of a King Vessel. It's just not possible..."
"...Sinbad also mention something about a Sacred Palace and having taken its power."
"Very interesting, but I don't think you should worry about that. Like I said, it's impossible, even for Sinbad."
"I hope your right Ryubebe. I hope your right..."
"Sapphire you should get some more rest. You had a rough experience with the battle against Masrur, and your body still hasn't fully healed yet."
"I don't think I can get any sleep. Not with that dream hanging over me, not to mention the other one. Plus I might have a new one again. Ryubebe, do you know why I'm having these dreams? These visions?"
"...Yes..."
"Really?! Then can you please tell me? I need to know."
"...Do you remember how Jenna's summoning bracelet has a danger warning and a healing factor?"
"Yes?"
"Well one of your abilities is Time factor..."
"Time Factor?"
"Yes. You have the ability to manipulate time. You can freeze time, fast forward time, even go back in time."
"Wow that's incredible."
"Yes, but also, your vision must be caused by my ability. Future Sight."
"Future Sight?"
"Yes. With my Future Sight added to your Time Factor, your visions are showing you the future."
"So what your saying is, that the two dreams or visions that I had, are the future? So does that mean I really am doing to fight Sinbad and that he will be more powerful then this Magi Aladdin and that he will become a god?!"
"Now don't worry Sapphire, what you saw could be a possibility, but it isn't certain...I hope..."
"...Me too...Ryubebe..."
"Yeah Sapphire..."
"I suddenly became very afraid of my future is this world..."
"Yeah...me too..."
"Ryubebe..."
"Yes..."
"...I know I'm going to regret this but, could you use your Future Sight to give me another vision?"
"...Are you sure that's wise?"
"...If what I see is a possibility of what my future might be, I need to be prepared for it..."
"...Alright, but I can't guarantee that what you see will be good. These visions show random events that could happen...are you prepared to face what your future has in store?"
I slowly nodded.
"Then lie down Second Summoner Sapphire, Bearer of the elements of Fire and Water, and Wearer of the Summoning Necklace. Lie down and sleep, and let yourself be cared off into your dreams..."
I lied down and closed my eyes. As I let the darkness take me, I slowly drifted off too sleep. And prepared myself for whatever vision I might see.
An older version of myself was comforting Sinbad in a dark tower. Sinbad looked about 30 as did I, but...Sinbad looked furious. And I was afraid.
"The Djinn of Darkness and Light, I command thee and thy Household Vessel, feed on my Magoi and empower me with your great power and strength! Come forth, Haous!"
Sinbad's body glowed white as it changed. As HE changed...
When the light faded, it revealed his Djinn transformation. His hair grew longer and it turn pure black. His once golden eyes, were now black with blood red irises, with purple eye flames. He was adorned with a golden collar and had a third eye on his forehead. He also gained two tails, one black and one white. His hands and legs turned into black scales and claws. His teeth also sharpened.
"I can turn into darkness and shadows." Sinbad said with a devious tone and smile. Then he vanished.
"You can't even trust your own shadow." I heard him say.
I quickly look at my shadow-my shadow was on the floor. Then it looked like a silhouette of Sinbad. I walked away from my shadow, I moved but my shadow didn't that looked like Sinbad didn't, and when I looked behind me, I had no shadow. Then the shadow moved onto the wall.
"Give my shadow back Sinbad!" I commanded.
All he did was just laugh.
"You're a coward Sinbad!" I said.
"What!" He said snarled.
"You're a coward, hiding in the shadows like the coward you are." I said. I know I'm going to regret saying that.
I heard him growl, I knew he didn't like me calling him a coward when we both knew he really wasn't. I turned around and my shadow came back to me.
I turned around again and my face hit Sinbad's hard chest. Then I backed away.
"How dare you call me a coward again Sapphire!" Sinbad said fiercely with a growl rumbling in his chest, and he had that scary look in his eyes. I was afraid.
Sinbad smirked evilly. "Heh, I can smell your fear Sapphire. And that what you should be. Afraid."
I awoke from my vision, more afraid then ever. Sinbad acquired a Djinn Equip more powerful then his Baal form. This was not good.
"What did you see Sapphire?"
"I saw...Sinbad...and my future self. He Djinn Equip into a Djinn I've never seen before..."
"I see...anything else?"
"Yes. He said it was a Djinn of darkness and light. And he could control light and darkness itself...he turned into my shadow...and...that was all..."
"This is very bad...if there's a Djinn that is that's powerful, who knows what powers and destruction one can obtain and do...if Sinbad acquires a Djinn that powerful, there's no telling what he can do..."
"Well like you said Ryubebe, it's not definite, so, it could be changed. Can't it?"
"...I don't know Sapphire. Sinbad isn't an ordinary human...there's no telling what he can do, OR, what he will become..."
"So...what do we do Ryubebe?"
"...I don't know Sapphire. All I know is, that Sinbad is a very special and a very powerful person. And that he is someone who you do not want for an enemy...and so far, by what you've seen...that's just what happens...I see, that you have a dark future Sapphire. Dark and dangerous indeed..."
"..."
"Sapphire!" I was interrupted from my thoughts by someone who cheerfully called out my name. It was Sinbad.
"Speak of the devil..."
I glared at Ryubebe who soon curled up next to me. My glared turn soft, Ryubebe was scared of Sinbad. That was plain to see. I-I also was afraid of him, and what was to come.
"Sapphire guess what?!" Sinbad asked.
"What? What is it Sinbad?" I asked.
"Sharrkan and Masrur have returned." Sinbad said.
"That's good. I'll go tell them I'm ok." My body still hurt when I tried to get up, but Sinbad pushed me back down.
"Sapphire you must rest. I'll go tell Sharrkan and Masrur about you well-being. And since they returned, when you're all better. We'll leave." Sinbad said, then he left.
"Ryubebe...what are we going to do about Sinbad?"
"I don't know Sapphire. I honestly don't know."
It's been about two weeks for me to fully heal. Physically, but not mentally...I still had nightmares about my visions, and what lie ahead. Sinbad left the slave traders that Sharrkan and Masrur captured, and left them with the Torran Villages.
As we left the village, I could feel that my future would be a dark one. I also had a feeling, that my first feeling was right.
"Come one Sapphire. It's time to go!" Sinbad called out.
"Ok!" I replied. Sinbad grabbed my wrist. The moment he touched my wrist my vision went blank. I was having another vision...
My older self was walking through a grand hallway. With mirrors and sparkling jewels along the entire hallway. My older self was as pale as a ghost, and she was trembling. She stopped at two grand golden door, and in front of those doors was a boy with a long blue hair with was braided, who looked to be in his teens. He looked at me with sad eyes, and he was also frightened.
"Sapphire...this is a bad idea. You should leave before he knows you're here..." he said.
"Aladdin old friend...he already knows I'm here...if I don't confront him now, he will track me down, and drag me back here, broken. It is better if I got to him, then him go to me..." my older self said with a sad smiled.
"Then, I wish you luck Sapphire..." Aladdin said.
"I don't need luck Aladdin, I need a miracle..."
My older self walked past him and moved on to the next hallway. This hallways was even more grand then the last one. Gold and silver sparkled everywhere, and the rubies and emeralds was glittering so nicely with the gold and silver.
My older self stopped in front of another door. She was about to knock, but she hesitated.
"Enter Sapphire..." a deep voice ordered. "I am growing impatient..."
Before she could knock, the grand golden doors opened automatically, Engrade amount of dark energy came pouring out of the room. The dark energy wise very intense. She walked in, The dark energy inside the room was so intense, she was almost choking. It was very hard to breath.
My older self looked up and saw a man with long purple hair tied in a ponytail seating at a desk, resting his head on one hand. The dark energy emanating from this man is so intense it was nearly killed my older self. That man was once again Sinbad.
"Oh...is my depravity to much for you Sapphire. Or is it my vast amount of dark energy that's making you suffer..." Sinbad hissed.
My older self flinched when he spoke, the dark energy coming from Sinbad was so dense that it was extremely difficult to breathe. Sinbad got up and walked towards my older self with an evil smirk on his face. The air was getting more dense the closer he got to her.
Sinbad lifted her chin up to face him. "Sapphire...What you did was unforgivable...and you are in serious trouble my dear. Heh, you're lucky that I don't kill you now. But be warned Sapphire." Sinbad eyes turned red, and he glared down at me. "If you ever try this again...I will kill you."
I woke from my vision. I was leaning against Sinbad's shoulder.
"Sapphire! Are you alright?! You passed out on us?!" Sinbad said.
"Wh-What happened? Where am I?" I muttered out.
"You fainted a little while ago." Ja'far said. "Looks like you were still recovering from your injuries."
"I'm sorry we made you rush Sapphire..." Sinbad apologized.
"Don't worry. I'm fine now." I smiled. "Come one let's go."
I pushed myself off of Sinbad and started to walk off. Sharrkan and Masrur ran ahead of us and Ja'far chased after them. Sinbad in twined his fingers into mine, and pulled me too him.
"Sapphire." Sinbad whispered. "Please don't scare me like that again..."
I nodded and all Sinbad did was just walked a head of me, still having his hand holding onto mine.
"...Sinbad..." I thought. "When the time comes...will you kill me?"
Ryubebe: Sapphire's future is a dark one. What will happen to her? What kind of plans does Sinbad have instore for her? Why was Sinbad so angry with her? and when the time comes...will Sinbad truly kill her? Only time will tell...
