Waves gently rocked the boat from side to side. A few hours before Esla and Ruri had boarded a boat at Sindria's port and departed, heading towards an island that was located on one of the smaller islands that surrounded Sindria.

"Aaaaaaaah… it's so peaceful out here…" Ruri stretched her limbs as she sighed with relief, "It's been so long since I last travelled by boat," Esla looked at her green haired friend, "Really? It's been that long huh…"

Ruri giggled slightly, "Yeah it has… by the way what type of Djinn lives in this Dungeon?"

Esla looked off into the distance as a small island came into view, "Well from what Sinbad has told me, the Djinn Sallos is a pacifist by nature and she is the Djinn of love and Devotion," Ruri simple looked in the same direction as her friend, "Well I guess we'll soon know what she's really like soon enough, we're almost there…"

The island that the 19th Dungeon was located on was like any other island, it had tall trees and exotic flowers as well as other vegetation life growing on it. The architecture was simplistic in comparison to that of the main island of Sindria and even what it was like back in Parthevia. There were native children running around playing together and laughing, while the adults ran their stores and looked after their children.

"Wow, this place is pretty different from the rest of the world, right Esla… Esla?" Ruri saw that Esla was looking in the direction of a mother playing with her young children, a pained look found its way upon Esla's face, "I can still remember the days when we use to have fun like that… Mum, Dad, David and Charlie, Ami and Mami… I wish things could go back to the way they use to be," Ruri grabbed Esla's arm, "Come one lets get going already!"

The two girls walked along a river bed for quite some time before the Dungeon finally come into view. The Dungeon looked spectacular, it had the appearance of a giant castle, with larger pillars supporting areas of the castle, outside of it was a garden with all sorts of flowers that were no common to this part of the world and there was a pond with small that looked a lot like Kio swimming in it in the shade of a large oak tree.

"So this is a Dungeon huh… it's… amazing!" Esla gasped at it's grandness.

"Yeah, truly breath taking… well, lets go then!" Ruri encouraged as the two walked up to the gate of the Dungeon.

"Once we touch this gate there's no turning back until we've captured the Dungeon… Ruri are you sure you want to do this?" Esla questioned.

"Yes… lets do this…" Esla nodded then they bother lifted their hands placing it on the gate, "Here we go!" Esla shouted as they were both drawn into the Dungeon.

…

Mean while back at the Sindrian Palace.

"Listen well, King Sinbad… we will have the girl and no matter what you do she cannot escape us, this time we will not fail in capturing her… she will be ours!" a messenger from Al-Thamen warned the King of Sindria in a deep evil voice, laughing at the end of the sentence.

"We the eight Generals will never allow you to take her! We will protect her with our lives if necessary" Jafar shouted back furious at the fact that a member of Al-Thamen was able to enter Sindria without anyone noticing. Sinbad simply stood still glaring with dark eyes at the messenger.

"Masrur!" Sinbad commanded the Fanalis in a deep voice, "Understood," he replied and then used his household vessel to destroy the messenger in one attack.

However his voice rang out at the last moment before he disappeared, "She is already as good as ours… I wonder how she will react when he shows up!"

Once the man was gone the Generals gathered around their King, "Sin what do we do now, they probably intend to ambush her either when she arrives at the Dungeon or once she comes out!" Jafar commented. All of the Generals looked worried at this notion, "Alright, I'll go then… I will bring her back safely, no matter what."

…

Esla slowly opened her eyes and stood up. She felt dizzy and nearly fell back over again, it didn't help that there was very little light in this area. Looking to her right she saw Ruri past out. Esla walked over to her friend and shook her, "Ruri… wake up!... Ruri!" Ruri began to stir and slowly opened her eyes.

"Esla…" she looked around unable to see much, "We're inside the Dungeon right?" Esla helped pull Ruri up.

"Yeah… well we may as well start looking for the treasure room… we on guard though we don't know what dangers await us up ahead," Esla help Ruri's hand and together they walk down a long dark tunnel.

The two girls had been walking down the tunnel for what seemed like eternity until finally they saw a bright light. As this light came into view their speed picked up into a brisk walk, then into a run. They reached the end of the tunnel and were instantly hit with a wave bright light blinding them for a moment.

As their eyes adjusted they gasped at the amazing sight that lay before them, "So this is a Dungeon! It's amazing," Esla went pink with glee and excitement, Ruri just stared in amazement unable to say a word.

The entire Dungeon looked like an ancient Greek city, with tall buildings of unusual architecture. There were also strange birds flying in the skies and on the ground there were what looked like baby crocodiles, some larger then others.

"Esla, I think we should stay hidden for the mean time and not draw any unnecessary attention towards our selves… there are plenty of buildings that we can use to conceal our selves," Esla nodded in agreement, "Yeah… these little things look harmless but you never know what might happen inside a dungeon."

They used the large buildings to avoid coming into contact with all of the creatures that lived inside the Dungeon, ducking in and out of the shadows wherever needed. Once or twice they were discovered however the crocodiles just left them alone and went about their business as if they hadn't seen them. At one point they found what seemed to be a nest with one egg sitting in it, "Pour thing must have been abandoned…" Ruri picked up the egg and placed it in the bag she was wearing.

"Ruri!... what are you doing!" Esla pulled back slightly, "Well I can't just leave it here… it'll die without someone to take care of it…" Esla sighed, 'You never change, do you Ruri.'

…

"This is going a little to easily," Esla sat down next to Ruri, they had decided to take a break for a while to regain their strength.

"Yeah… I thought that capturing a Dungeon would be harder then this… though I guess we aren't really that far in get… do you have any idea were the treasure room is?" she questioned. Esla shock her head, "I think I might know but I'm not one hundred percent sure that I'm right," she took a few sips of water from the canteen she carried then gave it to Ruri.

"Well we have to start somewhere… lead the way," Ruri said as they stood up once more.

Once again they ducked in and out of buildings avoiding the wildlife, coming closer and closer to a steep cliff. Esla had noticed a while back that at the top of the cliff they was another tunnel that she guessed led to the treasure room.

"Esla I'm not sure I can climb up this!" Ruri looked at the size of the cliff, Esla just shook her head, "You wont have to… I can use gravity magic to get the both of us up there…" Then without another word the two of them were lifted off the ground and began to float upwards.

"This feels weird!" Ruri said as she wobbled around a little trying to get use to the idea of flying, "Don't worry Ruri, I'm not going to drop you…" Esla gave her friend a reassuring smile. They soon arrived at the top of the cliff, Esla landed Ruri on the ground softly. As Ruri got use to being on the ground again they pressed onwards through the tunnel. This one had quite a lot more light in it then the last one did however it was still fairly dark inside.

The two of them came to a halt as they heard a very load roar from the other end of the tunnel, "What was that!" Ruri said with fear in her voice. Esla gave her another reassure smile, "Lets go find out!" She grabbed Ruri's arms and run to the other end stopping at the exit to see where the sound came from.

This part of the Dungeon looked different from the other, there were only a few buildings around the place, it was more of a large pond then anything else, with a few stones that could be used to jump across to the other side with. Esla noticed that on the far side of the pond their was a large, fancy looking door, "I guess that must be the door leading to the treasure room… but where did that sound just now come from?" Esla looked around, then they heard the awful roar once more. The earth began to shake, and the water rippled when out of the pond a large crocodile lifted the upper part of its body out of the water.

Esla stared in amazement, "Wow that things bigger then a Southern Sea Creature!" Ruri on the other hand nearly passed out, "We have to defeat that in order to get to the treasure room! That's impossible!"

Esla looked at her friend with a determined look on her face, "Stay here Ruri make sure you don't move from this spot… I'll take care of that creature!" with that Esla jumped down and landed on one of the rocks below.

"Ready or not, here I come!"

…

The battle raged on, Esla used her magic to attack the crocodile but her effort was in vain because no matter how powerful her attacks were they didn't even scratch the creatures thick scales, all they did was make it angry.

"What is up with this thing… no matter what I do it has no effect on it what so ever," Esla landed on another stone and knelt down on one knee panting. She had been using her gravity magic to flying around making it easier to attack and now she was extremely tired.

"I can't keep this up forever," She pushed herself up and took of flying again just in time as the crocodile swung its tail at her, "Why the heck is this thing so violent anyway… we haven't done a thing to it… so why?!" Esla created several balls of flame the pointed her staff at the large crocodile, "Halharl Rasas!" she called as the balls of fire hit the crocodile in multiple places, 'I learnt this trick while sparring with Aladdin… surly it must have some effect!' Esla waited a moment but was shocked to see that it had no effect what so ever.

"What the heck is this thing," she spun herself out of the way as the crocodile once again attacked her with its tail, "I need to think harder, there must be something I can do… anything!" Esla looked around herself when she spotted Ruri standing where Esla had told her to, looking shocked at the scene before her, 'I can't fail… I have to protect Ruri!' it was then that Esla saw that Ruri was hugging the bag with the egg inside it tightly to her chest.

'That's it… the reason that this creature is acting so violent…' she landed on a stone and called out in a loud voice, "Ruri! Throw that bag over here! This Dungeon belongs to the Djinn of Love and Devotion, the reason this thing is attacking us is because we took one of its young! If we give it back then it will most likely go away!" Ruri nodded and then threw the bag at Esla. Esla jumped off the rock and grabbed it mid air. She circled the crocodile once then remained stationary, "Here this is what you want right," she pulled the egg out of the bag and the crocodile immediately back off, "take it then," Esla lowered herself down to the crocodiles level, "All you want to do is protect what's important to you, I can understand your feelings… so here," she then placed the egg on a rock right in front of the crocodile and smiled at it. The crocodile picked it up with its mouth and went back under water once more.

Esla went back up to the place she had left Ruri and helped her down and across the pond to the other side. They stood before the large doors, "Are you ready for this Ruri?" Esla asked her friend, Ruri simply nodded her head.

Esla smiled, "Alright then… OPEN SESAME!" as these words were said the doors slowly opened revealing the treasure room.

The treasure room was filled with expensive looking items mainly made of gold and silver. These items were placed on display sitting on shelves and stacked around the room. Opposite of the door was a balcony, which had two curved staircases on either side of it. Esla and Ruri waked up the staircases and on the balcony they saw a golden pedestal. On this pedestal sat a golden jug, which had all sorts of gemstones decorating it. In the centre of the jug was the eight point star symbol common to all Metal Vessels.

"So this is were the Djinn Sallos lives," Esla said as she placed her hand on the jug and rubbed some of the dust off of it.

Then suddenly a bright light shone out from the jug. Both Esla and Ruri were blinded for a moment, covering their eyes with their arms, "What the!" Ruri said as the two of them were blown back off he balcony. Landing with a loud thud the bright light faded and in its place stood the female Djinn, Sallos.

"I am Sallos, spirit of Love and Devotion… who will become King?"
