You're Not the Same Man

by Fuentalator

"You're not the man I used to know, the man who we all loved and would have followed, the man I loved and followed. You're now a selfish liar, Sinbad."

I awoke with tears streaming down her face. "What's wrong, Aladdin?" Alibaba asked me with concern. "I just saw the reason why E-neesan doesn't want us to talk about the incident with Sinbad. She and Sinbad were a couple and Sinbad cheated on her with Serendine, but he didn't want to though. He wanted to marry E-neesan. That's why he had that extremely beautiful ring. It was a proposal ring to E-neesan. Before he could propose, she found him kissing Serendine and that's when she decided to leave him. She was willing to give up her country to her brother for Sinbad, but the cheating broke her," I explained to them. We didn't talk about the incident, not even to Masrur. We went to Kina under the orders of E-neesan. When we came to Yamato's office, I saw E-neesan talking to Yamato. E and him were talking about some party that was going on in two days. She turned, saw us, and smiled. "Hello… Aladdin, what's wrong? You look like you did something wrong?" She asked me. I felt so many emotions, but all I did was walk up to her and hugged her. She was stunned by my actions at first and then she slowly began to rub my back. "King of Kina, shall we continue this later? I think I need to speak to them," E-neesan asked Yamato. He only nodded his head and she walked out with all three of us walking with her. She led us to her guest room where a lot of chairs were. We all sat down and E said, "So I guess with the vision I set you last night; you now have some idea about what happened." I nodded to her and then she only responded with a heavy sigh. "Well, we now have some time until everyone arrives. I will tell my full story from the beginning…" E told us. She then told us her fully story and used clairvoyance magic to give us visuals to fully see what had happened to her.

POV ISAYOI:

I used my powers to create a clairvoyance image to show the children my life story:

I was born within normal circumstance, I think. My ancestors told me that I was born with a full head of white hair that was colored with red from the blood of the birth process. I remember the first person I saw was Sonja, my mother's mid-wife and my nanny. She was so happy to see me and the first thing she said, "Our countries first beautiful new princess has finally arrived, My Lady." She washed me with a small tub with purified hot spring water. She wrapped me within a pink blanket and put a royal purple scarf around the blanket. She handed me to a woman with long white hair with azure eyes. She looked exactly like me within our bone structures and body type. She was wearing a white gown and her hair was distraught due to her child labor but she looked very happy. A man came up to her and he had very bright blue hair that went down to his shoulders. He had bright red eyes that were very wise and kind. He had flawless skin and perfect bone alignment. He was very handsome. He had on royal robes that had purple and light blue color scheme. His skin was a little tan while the woman that was holding me had pale skin. "She's beautiful, Isayoi. She as gorgeous as you and I know Sesshomaru will love her. She our new baby girl, Isayoi Angelos Serafeim Krystallo Medea Atlantes, our new princess," the blue hair man proclaimed. He put his hand on the white hair woman named Isayoi who responded, "Look at her, Zir. She is gorgeous."

I saw a weird elderly woman with short white hair in the back with two long strips in the front that framed her face. She had sharp teeth that looked like iron. "Well Zirnitra, she is gorgeous. Thank gods that she will look like her mother rather than you, my son. You're going to have to fight the boys off with magic," the elderly woman told him. "Your son is very handsome as is our son, Baba. Will you go get Sesshomaru for me? I wish for him to see his new sister," the woman asked. Baba bowed and went to fetch Sesshomaru. A boy who looked to be in his early teens came into the room and bowed politely and said, "You summoned me, Mother." The woman giggled and said, "None of that. No formalities around family. Now come here, I want you to meet someone." The boy walked up to the bed where his mother laid. "Sesshomaru, this is your new baby sister, Isayoi. You must teach her and protect her because you are her brother, okay?" The boy only nodded with astonishment on his face.

The family got dressed, ready, and went to the royal sitting room. They put me within a crib that had white covers and was soft as a cloud. I heard people began to pile in and each one bowed to my parents and then went to see me. I heard the people sang as if it was a coronation:

[People: Joyfully now to our princess we come

Bringing gifts and all good wishes too

We pledge our loyalty anew

Hail to the Princess Isayoi

All of her subjects adore her

Hail to the King, hail to the Queen

Hail to the Princess Isayoi

Health to the Princess

Wealth to the Princess

Long live the Princess Isayoi

Hail Isayoi, hail Isayoi

Health to the Princess

Wealth to the Princess

Long live the Princess Isayoi

Hail to the King, hail to the Queen

Hail to the Princess Isayoi!]

I heard many compliments from the people and saw that many of them brought me gifts. Sonja came up with Lucian and she held up a toddler boy who looked to be two or three. He asked, "Momma, is she my future wife?" Sonja only giggled and shook her head. "No. My sister shall marry someone who I deem worthy," Sesshomaru proclaimed. The king and queen giggled at the young prince's actions. The woman that was deemed Baba came up to the king and queen and she curtsied and bowed. "My dear son, Kirnitra Yaga Atlantes and Lady Isayoi Madea Atlantes: Emporer and Empress of Atlantis. I wish to bestow gifts on the child. The gifts of beauty, song, and wisdom," Baba announced to my parents. Both of them rose and walked over to my crib with Baba and my father proclaimed, "Ladies and Gentlemen of Atlantis. My mother, Baba Yaga: witch of the Iron Tooth Forest outside of Magnostadt, has decided to grace the princess with three gifts: beauty, song, and wisdom." The people yelled and cheered and Baba waved her long staff above my head and spoke, "Sweet princess, my gifts shall be the gift of beauty, song, and wisdom." The sky began to sing above me and I heard my ancestors through golden butterflies:

[Ancestors: One gift, Beauty Rare

Light of sunshine in her hair

Lips that shame the red, red rose

She'll walk with springtime wherever she goes]

The ruhk began to change to multiple colors of the rainbow.

[Ancestors: One gift, the gift of song

Melody her whole life long

The nightingale's her troubadour

Bringing his sweet serenade to her door

One gift, gift of wisdom

New aged kingdom

Prosperity and flourishment

All her life long

She'll reign with peace and heart so strong]

I giggled at the warmth that I felt and when I felt it fade I began to tear up desperately wanting it to return. I wiggled around my rattle and then Baba looked down at me and said, "What is that?! NO, a Yaga shouldn't have rattles but a staff ready for their magic." She then walked over to my father and grabbed his staff. My father's staff was made of roots and gemstones that glistened, and when it began to glow, a little stick with a tiny purple stone came from it. Baba used magic to make it float over to me and then I felt a warmth come from the stick so I reached out to it. When I grabbed it and then it began to glow and the warmth engulfed me and the stick and then the stick began to change in shape and when the glowing stopped there was a golden staff with a sun at the top*. In center of the sun there was a giant purple stone and around the circle were the rays that were made of blue sapphires that were the shapes of lightning bolts. The staff looked to be for an adult and when I felt it was too heavy the staff shrank and then went to the perfect size for me. Baba looked at me with astonishment and said, "That's the shape of one of the first magis in history, that means she will be fine magician maybe even… No she's not a magi. She is close to being one when it comes to the connection to the ruhk, but she isn't fully one with it. She will be one of the greatest magicians in our family history." She then touched the staff with her index finger and then something appeared in the middle of the circle and then another staff appeared within it. It looked like a swirly crab claw with a small stone in the middle of the claw. She then backed away and said, "Zir, did you see that?" I saw my father nod and then bowed to the crowd and said, "That will be all for the viewing of our new princess. I thank you all for coming, but I think that that is enough excitement for the young princess today."

The crowd then left and my family were all in my nursery waiting to talk to each other. My parents were sitting in the extravagant chairs made of golden edges with purple plush on the inside. My brother was standing next to my father on my left and I was in my mother's arms. Baba was holding the staff I created and she was standing to the right of me. "What exactly was that, Mother?" My father asked to Baba. "I honestly don't know my son. In all my years of studying magic, I have never seen a staff do that with a newborn infant child. That staff that I saw looked very familiar to me. I wonder…" Baba was cut off by another voice. "That is because it is the second magi staff that was lost long ago. The princess must have been destined for that staff but since it might be with another person, she summoned the next one which she could control." My family turned to find young woman with long blonde hair that formed a train behind her. The young woman had azure eyes and she had wise eyes. She had a traditional white robe with green l eaves as a wreath. "Well, well, well. If it isn't Lady Scheherazade of the Reim Empire. Aren't you a little far from home?" Baba asked the young woman and the young woman known as Lady Scheherazade responded, "Hello Baba Yaga. Aren't you supposed to stay in the Iron Forest in Magnostadt? I came under the invitation of Lady Isayoi to come to the viewing of the new princess, but I was late due to sailing troubles."

Lady Scheherazade then walked over to my mother and looked upon me. She bowed to my parents and asked, "Your majesty, your grace; would you allow me the great pleasure to hold the princess?" My parents looked at each other and then my father gave my mother a reassuring smile and nodded. My mother returned it with a kind smile and then she held me out to Lady Scheherazade and Lady Scheherazade took me in her arms and then rocked me slowly. "This young one is very close to the ruhk. I see love, courage, and wisdom within her eyes. I see pain, hope, love, hate, passion, and regret within her future. I see her protecting the balance of the world and its people. She will be able to precede events and people and do what is right for all but not herself. She will suffer to many great lengths but she will prevail to try to make the majority happy and do what is right. I predict that she will help to unite the world even if she is against it before that happens. She will love all and all will love her. I wish for her to be one of my king's candidates. She will be my strongest and my greatest. Don't you agree, Yunan?" She asked while everyone turned around to where she was looking and there stood a man with long platinum blonde hair that was braided down to the front of his shins. He wore a white shirt with a green jacket that were open to expose his chest. He also had white trousers with a green sheath and white boots. He had a green witch's hat with a giant white feather but he had it off of his head to show respect to my family and to Lady Scheherazade. He had a giant straight wooden staff with green vines surrounding it with feathers at the top of the staff. "She does hold a great destiny, Lady Scheherazade. I don't not know if she will be the greatest but I do know that she will be one of the strongest. I will not choose her as my king's candidate. I see greatness and sorrow in her future but I also see that she will fight. She will lead with pride and her empire strong. She has my blessing as a king's candidate as well, but not yet as my king's candidate."

Both of my parents gave each other worried looks and asked, "Do you know what we can do to prevent the pain of her future?" Both Yunan and Lady Scheherazade shook their heads and responded, "Pain is a part of life. They will help her learn and help her to love. May we asked to speak with her grace and Baba in private for a moment?" My father looked at my mother and them with worry in his eyes and said, "I will stay as well. Sesshomaru, go to your room until-" My brother interrupted him, "No. I want to hear what is to be said to Mother." The three magicians then looked at my family with eyes filled with sorrow. Baba was the one to step forward and said, "Isayoi, my dearest daughter-in-law, do you know what is the state of your health?" My mother looked at her with sadness in her eyes and said, "I know that the end of my story is near. I felt it when my child was born and much of my energy and ruhk went into her. I feel that my soul has been separate and put into my dear child. I do not regret bearing her and I hope that no one else feels regret for her birth. I wish her, my family, my country, and my world the happiness they all deserve that I may not be able to provide for since I am not long for this world." My brother then began to cry as my father and Baba began to tear up at my mother's statement. She then stood up slowly, extended her arms to Lady Scheherazade, and took me in her arms and kissed my forehead. My father then walked over and embraced my mother and I, as did Baba. My brother then ran to my mother and hugged her as well. I felt everyone's sadness and I saw that my ancestors flew around us and they were turning dark blue and then feeling all of this sorrow, I began to cry as well.

The guest left during our sad family moment. It was one year later and then my mother left this world. She did, indeed, suffer from the loss of her ruhk. She grew weaker and weaker as the days turned into weeks. Her hair lost its vibrancy, her cheeks became hollow, and her eyes were losing their light. She fought every day to help raise me and Sesshomaru, giving us both lessons. She also helped my father to help rule our country. She even went on her daily walks to greet our citizens with a smile on her face and joy in her eyes. Everyone knew that she was dying, and everyone did their absolute best to give support to my family. My mother passed on the day of anniversary of my birth. Everyone on that day wore black and all over the city, those who could see our ancestors were the color of dark blue. Sonja dressed me in a black dress during the remembrance ceremony for my mother. My country recovered after the loss of their queen but to this day, they still remember my mother's great legacy. My mother came from the long line of rulers of Atlantis and she was said to be a ruler of equality and wisdom as were most of the rulers of Atlantis.

My father never remarried due to his undying love for my deceased mother. He did his absolute best to rule the country without his beloved queen. He left the country to make deals with countries of the outside world. He would be gone for a couple of weeks at a time. Every time he came back though he would attend to the duties of a king and as a father. He taught me brother many things, such as different types of magic and spells, sword and battle play, and even how to rule a country. He began to teach me many things as well, such as reading, writing, and many other things that children learn when growing up. When I was four years, though, I lost my father. My father went on a trip to establish a trade and was said to be gone for only four weeks, but he never returned. My brother and I celebrated my fourth birthday with Sonja, Tamahome, and Ranma. We didn't want a big celebration until my father arrived back. Two months had passed after my father left our country but Lucian arrived back to our nation and came with terrible news. Lucian was cut and beaten with bandages covering other wounds. When he saw my brother and I, his face immediately went to one of sympathy and utter despair. He told us that our father was murdered in the country that he was trying to trade with. He was stabbed by the king of the empire of that nation and then when the royal guards of Atlantis tried to go to my father and they were attack of the other countries guards. Sadly, most of the guards were killed, but the ones who weren't took Lucian and brought him back home. My brother was shaking and he asked Lucian shakenly, "Lucian, when did he die?" Lucian was quiet for a moment until he answered, "The anniversary of the Late Queen's death and Princess Isayoi's birthday." I immediately felt the guilt build up in my stomach. The day of my birth was the day that I lost both of my parents and even now to this day I do not celebrate the date of my birth due to the memory of my parents. I always hated my birthday and my citizens were to use my birthday as a day of remembrance for our departed king and queen. During my life, I always hated part of myself because I took my mother's life and I always had a distaste for the empire that took my father, a country I will never forgive or forget: Parthevia.

As time passed in our country my dear brother Sesshomaru was named the Emperor of Atlantis and he ruled the country the same our parents. While my brother ruled Atlantis, he helped raise me with Sonja and Lucian. Sonja help to raise me as a young lady of Atlantis, Lucian brought in special trainers to help me with certain studies, and Sesshomaru was the only one who actually let me be a normal child. Sonja gave me lessons that a young lady of Atlantis should know such as the art of conversation, tea ceremonies, dance, family history, posture, table manners, and royalty interactions. Lucian brought in tutors from all over Atlantis to teach me lessons such as swordplay, battle strategy, outer and inner world history, survival, mathematics, science, music, and even magic. Lucian was the one who taught me my mathematics, science, and battle strategy lessons while the tutors taught me all of the other lessons. My lessons took up most of my time during the day and while Sesshomaru was always busy trying to run of empire. When he and I didn't have lessons or time required responsibilities, he would take me outside the castle and we travel around the empire to all of the sides of the island. Our favorite spot was the mystic gardens that laid to the north of the capital. The mystic garden held all kinds of magical creatures and peculiar plants that only grew in our country. The only other place where we would go all the time would be the temples on the west side of the capital. We would both always wake up in the morning to pray and before we went to bed we would go pray. All of my childhood, I only hung out with the other rulers of the state capitals such as Kallen, Lelouch, Tamahome, and Jeno. When I was in the castle and I had no lessons and Sesshomaru was busy, I would hang out with Ranma and Tamahome and we would role play was fighters and rulers.

The year that I turned twelve was a commendable year. My elder brother Sesshomaru, who was twenty-five, was looking for a bride to help him rule Atlantis. This was also the year that I was supposed to go to Magnostadt Academy, just as my brother, my father, and my ancestors did. This was supposed to be the year when I finally got to leave the island and start a life all of my own, but unfortunately the gods had another idea in mind. One day, the island was calm and the citizens were making preparations for Remembrance Day when the ground began to shake. I was with Sonja, practicing the harp when the room shook. She grabbed me and headed out of the castle and when we got out, I saw Sesshomaru and dashed for him and held onto him for dear life. I asked him, "Nii-chan, what's happening?" He only shook my head and comforted him by telling me that everything was going to be fine. We heard things shattering but we didn't hear it from the castle, but from the west side of the capital. "It's coming from the temples! We need to go see!" Sesshomaru and I began to sprint for the temples and of course he was faster than me. When we got there, the Temple of Hades had change. It looked like a mash up between the original temple and a government building and it was shiny black with obsidian all over the building. The building let off a dangerous aura and I held onto the back of my brother's shirt. I saw my ancestors flying around the building while stating, "Chosen Only." My grip only got harder on his shirt and then my brother turned his head to look at me with a sincere smile and said, "We'll be okay." That evening my brother summoned many warriors from all over Atlantis and he ordered a hand selected few to go into this new unknown building.

When none of them came back, my brother decided that he would go into the building. When he decided, he held a meeting between all of the rulers of Atlantis two nights before Remembrance Day. I was sitting in the room with all of the rulers and Sesshomaru was telling us about his plan. "Tomorrow at sunrise, I will be taking the strongest that Atlantis has to offer with me inside of this outsider building. If no one comes out of that building by sunset, that building will not be permitted to be entered by anyone." I stood there silently until he finished and I finally spoke up, "Emperor Sesshomaru, I don't think that going into the building is wise, especially with Remembrance Day so close. This day has brought death among the royal family and it only brings the royal bad luck. I think that the building needs to be left alone, until our scholars know exactly what it is and how to get rid of it." My brother looked at me kindly and told the others, "Leave us." Sesshomaru then walked over to me, embraced me, stroke the back of my head, and responded, "Princess, I know that you are concerned about this day. Yes, the late Emperor and Empress both died on this day, but this day also gave me one of greatest gifts and treasures: you. I will not die in that building. I will return before the end of your birthday." I cried into his shirt and reluctantly accepted while he just held me and comforted me.

The next day I saw him off and when I did I saw our ancestors flying around the building while chanting, "Chosen not here." I felt that I had fear in my eyes. Lucian put his hand on my shoulder as a way to comfort me. Before I went back to the castle to prepare for Remembrance Day, I went to the temple of Zeus and Athena to pray for my brother's safe return. At the temple of Zeus and Athena, I sang/praise:

[Isayoi: I pray you'll be my eyes

and watch him where he goes

and help him to be wise

help me to let go.

Every sister's prayer

every brother knows

Lead him to a place

Guide him with your grace

To a place where he'll be safe

I pray he finds your light

and holds it in his heart.

As darkness falls each night

Remind him where you are.

Every sister's prayer

every brother knows

Need to find a place

Guide him to a place

Give him strength so he'll be safe.

Lead him to a place guide him with your grace

to a place where he'll be safe.]

After my prayers, I went back to the castle and fulfilled my duties as a stand in for my brother. I had several meetings for Remembrance Day and running the empire. I had to talk about continuing trade with certain countries and about the consistency of the mines. I knew how to some of the ways of ruling a country from Lucian and Sonja so I didn't have any troubles. I was worried about my brother the whole day and when I returned home from all of my duties the sun was setting. "Lucian, has he returned yet?" I asked Lucian. Lucian couldn't even answer me, but he only shook his head. I felt a wave of despair in my soul and I said, "We wait until tomorrow. If he hasn't returned by then… I will take on the task." Lucian only bowed at my statement and then went to bed. I walked to the west side of the capital to the temples and I went to pray to Athena and Zeus again. I went to bed but I couldn't fall asleep. I awoke before sunrise and I immediately changed into a battle outfit that consisted of a black tight short shorts, a white dress that went down to my thighs and it was split on both sides to my hips. It was a turtleneck and I put on a white mask to hide my face, and I wore black boots that went up my thighs. I also grabbed two swords, a big pocket holder that went on the black belt I wore, and my long bow and my quiver of arrows. I snuck out of the castle through the castle's secret passage ways. I snuck over the west side of the capital and I went to the temple of Zeus and Athena to pray for success of finding of my brother alive and I can bring him back safely. When I walked out of the temple of Zeus, I saw Lucian and Sonja standing outside of near the temple of Hades. I walked over to them and I told them, "Please, don't try to stop me. I'm going in after him. I refuse to lose another family member on this accursed day." They both looked at me with sympathy in their eyes and before Lucian spoke, I sprinted around them and went into the cursed temple. I heard them yelling and shouting at me but I had my goal in my mind. I was going to find Sesshomaru and bring him back alive!

When I heard the shouting stop, I halted my running and stood in a pitch black room. I couldn't see anything until a bright sphere shined against the darkness. The sphere was a dark purple with hints of lavender within it. I felt a warmth of magic within the sphere but I also felt the coldness of sorrow deep within the sphere. I touched the sphere and the warmth and coldness engulfed me within seconds and then I found myself with a forest. The forest had a dark aura and the clouds were darkish gray. The trees were a dark brown, nearly black and the plant life were a dark green that were nearly black. I felt a dangerous killing aura around the whole area so I took off my bow and prepared an arrow. I began to walk around cautiously trying not to trigger anything to attack or discover my location. When I began to drop my guard, I heard a giant roar from the north along with a manly scream. I recognized the scream from one of the people who lived in Sparta so I sprinted my way over to it. When I reached the area I saw the Spartan Soldier fighting a dark purple dragon. The dragon had two back legs that had giant talons and its wind were also its arms and the arms also had long sharp talons and one giant talon on the elbows. He had sharp points all around the cheek and jaw line of the dragon's muzzle. The dragon had blood red eyes that were menacing a filled with blood lust. Before the creature could attack the soldier, I shot my arrow and it had the side of the dragon, but it didn't pierce the skin. The dragon looked over at me with the bloodlust in its eyes. I knew I had to get the dragon away from the man, so I grabbed another arrow and shot it at the beast and it began got angry and began to chase me. "Get to safety! Head towards the south and find your way out!" I shouted at the soldier before I took off to the west. I heard and beast flying after me and roaring at me but I just kept running trying to find a way to lose the beast. I saw a log that looked big enough to hide me so I dashed for it and slid into it. I heard the dragon fly past me and then I waited for a couple of minutes until I came out of the log. I took out another arrow and got it ready to fire. I began to walk to the north again and after twenty minutes of walking I heard another scream, but this scream was so familiar… it was Sesshomaru's.

I sprinted to where I heard the scream. When I got to the area where I heard the scream I saw my brother injured and limping to try to get away from something. "Nii-chan!" I yelled as I ran over to him. He looked over to me and I saw immediate fear in his eyes. "E! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" When I got to him, I supported him and kept my bow within my unused hand. "I came to get you and bring you home," I told him as I felt sorrow at the state he was in. "NO! YOU NEED TO LEAVE! GO HOME AND LIVE!" Sesshomaru yelled at me. I shook my head and then I heard a dark, sinister, deep voice, "You should listen to him. People who fear death… will die." I then looked up and I saw a giant satyr like creature. The creature was bigger than any beast that I have ever encountered. It had the lower body of a goat with only two legs. The legs were furry and black as a starless night. The hooves were also black and they had a dull shine. The fur ran up to the beast's torso and then you could see the beast skin. The skin was a ghostly white and lifeless. He had long unruly black hair with two ram horns. The beast had a muscular built and his face was stern and serious. He had coldness within his blood red eyes and he looked as if he was challenging us. "I'm not leaving my brother and you cannot make me," I challenged the spirit. He looked at with a challenging smirk and then I knew I had a fight to prepare for. I felt only one thing, determination to save my brother's life. I helped my brother to the ground carefully and told him, "You need to stay down and just worry about staying alive. I will take care of this." He just tried to interject but I wouldn't allow him to speak. I stood up and pulled out my katana and got ready to fight. "I won't let you hurt him anymore. I will be your opponent," I told the beast. The beast just smirked at me with a little amusement in his eyes. "If you face me child, you will be facing death. Death is inevitable to everyone and it takes whatever it wants. I have a challenge for you, child. If you have any fear towards me, you will lose your life. If you do not feel any fear towards me, I will let everyone go and you will obtain my powers as my king's candidate. Do you accept my challenge? Are you ready to face death, child?" The beast challenged me.

I only got into a battle stance and said, "I do not fear you. I only have one fear and that is the death of my brother." He then came towards me with incredible speed and I only stood my ground and cleared my thoughts. I knew if I faced this beast in combat I would lose, but I knew I had to fight: for my brother, for my country, even for myself. I sensed that the beast was near me and then he stopped right in front of us. I kept my guard up and only thought of Sesshomaru: the only immediate family I have left in this world and the one who I wasn't going to lose in here. The creature then began to laugh a menacing laugh and then he spoke up to the gods, "FINALLY! AFTER ALL THESE YEARS AND EONS, I HAVE ONE WORTHY OF ACCEPTING MY POWERS AS THE KING'S CANDIDATE OF DEATH!" He then looked down to us and said, "You have won my challenge. You are the only one is history who has completed my challenge. You, who is not afraid of death. You are my king's candidate and I follow and give you my power." I was puzzled at him and I was about to speak when I heard Sesshomaru cough. I looked over at him and he was laying down and I saw that he had blood on his lips. I ran down to him and held him. "Please, I beg of you. Please get my brother and my people back. The injured need to be hospitalized now." The spirit nodded and then the ground began to shook. Then everyone who came into this building then was assembled to our area. The ground then sank down into a large tunnel that went down to our planet. I just sat there and held Sesshomaru in my arms and kept whispering to him, telling him that he was going to be okay. I knew he was dying but I didn't want to admit it. He kept telling me about how he was sorry and about how I was going to be a great ruler. I kept trying to tell him to hush and that he needed to hold on.

When we got back to our world, the temple was back to the way it was and the sun hasn't risen yet for Remembrance Day. There were twenty piles of gold and jewels that were spread out among everyone who went in. I saw that Lucian, Sonja, Ranma, Tamahome, and many of the soldiers of the castle were all dressed and ready to fight. "Lucian, call all medical services immediately for all the injured. Sonja, I need you to help me with Sesshomaru. Please, I can't… I can't…" I told them. Sonja then ran up with medical equipment and before she and I could begin, he stopped us. He grabbed my wrist, shook his head, and responded, "No. It's too late for me. Save the others and that is an order Sonja." Sonja then looked at me with regret in her eyes and said, "I'm sorry." She then went out to help the other men and then Sesshomaru continued to talk to him with a hoarse voice, "Isayoi, my little sister. So loving, so caring, so courageous… you're the perfect blend of Mother and Father. I love you and you will make the perfect Empress of Atlantis. Please, keep on fighting and living for all of us. For Mother, Father, and me. Don't hate yourself, you didn't do anything to cause of any of this. Keep your views, our home, and yourself alive. Isayoi, I'm… sorry… and…I…love…youuuu…" And with that the eldest son of the Atlantes Family died at the dawn of Remembrance Day. After he passed, I felt nothing but heartbreak, grief, and despair. "No… no… NOOOOOOO! SESSHOMARU, PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME! OPEN YOUR EYES! I'm sorry… I'm so sorry…NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" I cried into his lifeless body and screamed to the merciless gods above. Everyone who was there then looked at me with sympathy in their eyes.

After all of the injured were healed, it took Lucian, Sonja, Ranma, and Tamahome to make me let go of Sesshomaru's lifeless body. I couldn't see due to all of the tears in my eyes. I couldn't breathe because I was yelling and screaming at all of them to leave us alone. I fought them just to get back to my brother. My body just gave up due to exhaustion and then I fell to my knees and just sobbed myself away. Sonja whispered comforting words in my ear while she stroked my back. Ranma and Tamahome just held me in their arms trying to comfort me. Lucian went over to Sesshomaru's body and picked it up and took him to the castle and Ranma picked me up and carried me back to the castle as well while most of the day rain just down poured.

The evening was when we had my brother's Remembrance Ceremony. All of the rulers and people who knew the royal family came to the ceremony. Baba even came back and she never left my side. At the ceremony, I gave my speech as the only immediate family member and as the Empress of Atlantis. "People of Atlantis. My brothers and my sisters of the world. Today, the living has lost a great man and Emperor. He ruled Atlantis with the equality, fairness, and grace of the late Emperor and Empress. Sesshomaru Inuyasha Philokrates Orion Madea Atlantes was my Emperor, my brother, and my best friend. He built a great legacy and was taken from the world far too quickly. He went into the mysterious building to protect our country from an unknown threat. The threat is no longer here and he has succeeded, with the loss of his own life. My brother wouldn't want us to grief, but to celebrate his life and achievements. I will always remember Sesshomaru as the great man that he was, but also as my best friend and brother who would show his weaknesses along with his strength. Nii-chan, I love you and I will miss you for the rest of my life. Rest in peace and I will see you again, I promise," I finished as I looked up to the sky that was now shining colorfully with our ancestors while a single tear fell down my face. The ceremony continued as every came up, bowed, and prayed to my brother. We finished with the cremation of my brother's body and then the priestess then sent my brother's spirit up to our ancestors** f. We put his ashes in a cremation urn and then we put the urn at the royal family graveyard in the shrine by himself. In our culture, every Emperor and Empress couple get their own sacred shrine for their urns and since Sesshomaru wasn't married, he is to be by himself next to Mother and Father's shrine. Remembrance Day finished with everyone sending up lanterns up to our ancestors shining brightly in the clear night sky.

I never really did get over my brother's death, but I did take over as the Empress and my coronation ceremony was two weeks after my brother's passing. This gave the world time to get to Atlantis for my coronation. I wore a light blue dress, since that was the national color of Atlantis. The dress was a ball gown that had swirl like embroidery at the middle skirt, a jewel encrusted belt that separate the top and the skirt, the top had jewel embroidery with a round the neck color with jewels aligning it. I wore my hair in a haft hair do with the top in a bun with the rest falling straight down. I wore a wristlet that had diamonds all over. My shoes were three inch white pumps. I also wore my mother's favorite white diamond necklace that only had a single white diamond with a silver band. When I looked up to my reflection, I thought that I looked pretty but I had a look of sadness in my eyes. I didn't smile since the passing of my brother and I didn't think that I would have for a while.

I heard a deep voice speak, "Why the long face? This is your coronation day; you should be happy and smile." I looked around prepare to fight, but no one was in my room. "Look at the mirror, my king." I slowly turned and saw the beast within the reflection. "Hello again, my king." I immediately felt anger, hatred and sadness. I looked at him with hatred and asked, "Who are you, and why are you here?!" He looked at me with no expression. He bowed to me and responded, "I have gone by many names, but you may call me Hades. I am here because you are my king's candidate." I looked at him skeptically, "What's a king's candidate? What are you and why am I your king's candidate?" He still looked at me with no emotions and responded, "A king's candidate is a person who is worthy of being a ruler because they possess the qualities of ruling a country. I am a djinn, an ancient being that gives challenges and determines if a person is worthy and has the qualities that we want. You are my king's candidate because you were not afraid to face death and that's what I wanted in my king's candidate. I am sorry for your loss, but you were chosen before birth to be a king." I looked at Hades blankly and asked, "Did you purposely kill Sesshomaru for me to be king?" Hades looked at me blankly and responded, "No. He died from injuries. He showed fear for death and that's why he had to fight me. I apologize for killing someone so dear to you, but I cannot undo the past." I looked at him blankly for a moment and finally asked, "You are the djinn of death, right? Can't you just bring him back?" Hades looked at me with no emotions and responded, "No. I can't bring him fully back, but you can bring part of him back. We can rebirth him. Not as you are now, but maybe in your future." I narrowed my eyes at him and nodded my head. I asked him sadly, "You and I are bonded for life, aren't we?" He only nodded his head. I looked down for a moment and when I raised my head and I only saw my own reflection. I finished my coronation day with my grandmother putting the royal Empress crown upon my head. The crown had lines all around that lowered as the went to the back causing. The middle was the tallest and all of the lines pointed up to the sky and the had white diamonds that aligned up. Everyone clapped and I had a fake smile on my face but I had real tears streaming down my face for feeling as if I took my brother's place.

Another week passed and I got to talk to Hades more. He explained to me about his past and what he can do for his abilities. He told me that most djinns need a metal vessel to have their spirit kept in, but since Hades was death itself he decided to stay within my soul. He told me that I had a giant soul due to having haft of my mother's and mine, but he hesitated to finish. I asked him if anything else was within me and he only kept quiet and didn't say anything. This was the first time that he was never answered me and this made me concern but I left it at that. I was sitting down in my office with many documents about trade offers, when the ground began to shake. I looked over to the mirror on my desk and yelled, "Hades, what's going on?!" Hades looked at me and responded, "Another dungeon with another djinn is appearing." I froze with fear for a second and then I dashed for my room. I grabbed my bow, my quiver, my katanas, and my knife pocket. "Where is it appearing and which djinn is it?!" I yelled to Hades. I heard him talk in my head, "It's appearing in the temples area. Judging by the power, I have to say it is Artemis." I then sprinted to the west once I got outside towards the temples. When I got there I saw the temple of Artemis was gone and the new dungeon appeared. The dungeon looked like a temple with vines all along the columns. There were also arrows that designed the columns along with animals such as deer, dogs, birds, and rabbits. I saw that there were other people and soldiers there. "No one is to go inside of that building. It is forbidden under the orders of the Empress. Everyone back to what you were doing." I saw that all of the people walked away and then I saw Lucian, Ranma, Tamahome, and the young princess of Homura were coming towards me. "Lucian, no one is to enter this dungeon with me. Do you understand?" I told my advisor. "Your majesty, you shouldn't go in there. We lost Sesshomaru due to the last mysterious building. You're the last of Atlantes Family, we cannot lose you as well." I turned to him and looked at him with authority and commanded, "Lucian, I am the only one who can fix this. I am the king's candidate of Atlantis and I will not fall in a dungeon. I will go in and you will be in command of Atlantis in my absence." Then Hades spoke in my head, "My king, you need a household vessel: someone you trust to fight by your side. Since it is Artemis, I recommend a girl." I then thought about it for a second and looked at Homura. She was the Princess of the Amazonians, who worshiped Artemis and who were blessed by Artemis. "Homura, will you accompany me within this dungeon?" I asked the young child. She was only six, but she was really wise for a child and she was pure, which Artemis will like. The young girl looked at me blankly for a moment and nodded her head. I gave her a piggy back ride into the building while Lucian, Ranma, and Tamahome saw us off.

When she and I got into the dark room, it was completely black like it was with Hades, but instead of a dark purple sphere, the sphere was a bright silver and it was warm with magic qualities. I smiled at Homura and then I reached out my hand to touch it and then we were engulfed within light and transported to a forest, but this forest wasn't dark. It was like a normal forest and when I looked up I saw that it was nighttime but there wasn't any moon out. I looked around noticed a giant white light in the east so I began to walk towards it. Homura and I then saw a giant woman with long white-ish silver hair that was tied in a high ponytail and flowed to her shoulders. She had an hourglass figure and she wore a white short dress that went down to her knees and had a high collar. The dress was a no sleeve and it was ordinary. She only had on a silver belt that was tied at her torso. She had on silver sandal shoes that laced up to the bottom of her calves. She had a long silver bow in her hands and a quiver of sparkling arrows. "So, are you here to become my king's candidate as well, young one?" She asked as she turned towards Homura and me. She had white eyes and plump pink lips and she was extremely gorgeous. I let Homura down and I stepped forward to the djinn and stated, "Yes. I am Isayoi Angelos Serafeim Krystallo Medea Atlantes, Empress of Atlantis. I wish to become your king's candidate and restore balance to my country and the world." She looked blankly and said, "If you complete my challenge, I will have you as my king's candidate. You must hunt down my sacred silver buck, without harming it. If you do so before the moon sets in the west, you will be my king's candidate. But if you fail will and that child will be stuck here for all of eternity." I looked at Homura who was smirking and then I looked up at Artemis and stated, "You're on."

A light flashed and then a white stag with twelve points appeared. The fur of the stag was as white as snow and so were his hooves. Even his antlers were as white as snow. He took off to the east and then when I turned to Artemis, she was gone. I turned to Homura and she said, "Well, we need to get the stag without hurting it. How are we going to do that?" I thought about it for a couple of moments and I came up with an idea. "You have your own sugar cubes from Amazonia, right?" She nodded at the question and I continued, "Maybe if we get close enough to the stag, we can offer the sugar to him and then put a rope around him while he eats." Homura only nodded her head and then we walked off to the direction of the stag. It took us an hour to find the stag's fresh tracks and to track the location. I then used my knife and cut the tie on my long bow to provide us rope. I tied the rope into a lasso and gave it to Homura. She gave me the sugar cubes and then I gave all my weaponry to Homura and advise her to keep them there. I only kept my string-less long bow with me and I slow walked up to the stag. He then sensed me and then he looked over at me. His ears were pointing up and he was gazing at me with curiosity in his eyes. I moved towards him cautiously. I pulled three sugar cubes from my pocket and put them in my right hand and extended it out to the stag slowly.

The stag began to walk towards me slowly but it stopped when its eyes met mine. In order to please the stag, I looked the other direction and then it crept slowly towards me again. I felt a tingling sensation brushing against my palm. It tickled and then I heard Hades speak within my mind again, "He seems to trust you a little. You know with me as your djinn, you can speak with beast, right?" I thought of a glare at him and then I said out loud, "No I didn't know I could talk to beast." I then heard a warm velvety voice say, "Who are you talking to?" I turned my head to the stag and he looked at me with confusion in his eyes. "Did you just talk?" I asked the stag. "Yes. Yes, I did. How can you understand me?" The stag asked me. I just pointed to my chest and said, "Hades. He gives the power to speak with beast. Would you like some more sugar? I would love to give you some and I don't want to hunt you, but rather befriend you, if I may?" The stag looked at me for a moment and then he kneeled in front of me and proclaimed, "You are worthy. I will declare myself capture to Lady Artemis." I pulled out the rest of the sugar and told Homura to come to us. She and I put the lasso around the stag together and then I heard Artemis speak, "Well done. I accept you as my king's candidate." The stag then disappeared within a bright light and then Homura and I were taken back to Atlantis. When I arrived back to Atlantis, we saw that the temple of Artemis was back to its normal state and they had medics at the ready outside. My long bow had changed as well. It was still a long bow but it was pure silver embroidered with white diamonds and the string looked like it was a straw of micro sized diamonds. I then looked over to Homura and I gave her my quiver. "With this quiver, I hereby dub you as my household vessel user."

---

The cycle of the conquering dungeons continued for the next couple of months. Each dungeon had different tasks for completing them and every single time a dungeon appeared it would replace one of the temples that the djinn represented and named. The tasks were different then the first time I went into Hade's dungeon. For example, for Athena's temple I had to play Pai Sho, for Apollo I had to perform a dance, sing, and act, for Hera I had to make a contract about my marriage life, for Poseidon I had to ride a horse underwater (which was hard), Hephaestus had me point out which weapon wasn't made properly, Aphrodite made me go into the mines to pick a stone worthy of her beauty, Demeter had me harvest and make tea, Dionysus had me drink against him (which is why I am happy to have had Hephaestus to burn the alcohol quicker), Hermes had me tell the difference between medicine and poison, Hercules had me complete twelve task that were a mild version of what he had to do, and Achilles had me do an endurance test. The endurance was the worst because all I had to do was get hurt as many times as possible. During all these task, I had summoned all the children who I grew up with and had to trust in the future to help me rule Atlantis. I chose the sons and daughters of the royal families, Lucian, and my two future advisors. After a year of fighting and conquering dungeons they seemed to have stopped for a month and my people were ecstatic because they thought that the dungeons would stop appearing. I kept doing my lessons and I ruled my country as I continued to conquer dungeons. The only lesson left that was left to train for was magic because I managed to read all the books that my father had left me in the library from Magnostadt. I got many of the spells but the ones that I couldn't do, I couldn't understand why and my tutors couldn't teach it to me. I was sitting with my advisors and rulers with their children and with Baba Yaga in a meeting room to discuss my future plans.

"She should go to Magnostadt Academy. We cannot teach her anything more about magic, unless Madame Yaga wishes to stay," Lucian explained to the counsel. "No, that would unfair to Baba. She wishes to live in the Iron Tooth Forest and I think that is where she should stay. We shouldn't force her to stay here if she doesn't wish to," I replied to Lucian. "The empress needs to stay in Atlantis to help rule. We also need her if another dungeon appears," Fugitaka, the king of Athens, proclaimed. "That is true. What would happen while you outside of Atlantis? What if you died while you were gone? You are the last of the Madea Atlantes royal family. If you die then we will no longer have a ruler to rule Atlantis," Queen Serenity of the Amazonians proclaimed. "Lady Serenity, I'm sure that her majesty would take the absolute best security with her to Magnostadt and that she would be extra careful knowing that she would be outside of our boarders," Minato, the newly claimed King of Arcadia, rebutted to Serenity. "But what if something was to happen like it did to Emperor Zirnitra, may he rest in peace? We do not have any other members of the royal family," Rias, Queen of Aphrodisias, asked to everyone. "Well, what if there was another member of the royal family besides me?" They all looked at me like I had grown a second head. "We will reassemble again tomorrow and continue this conversation," I told the members, bowed, and walked to my room.

When I got to my room, I immediately went to my window and I spoke to the mirror, "Hades. You told when we first got together that there was a way to reborn a person, rather than bringing them back from the dead, right?" The image of my reflection changed into Hades and he responded, "Yes but Isayoi, I warn you: once this happens you cannot take it back. This entity will be a living breathing person, and they will not possess the same personality or memories of the remains of the person who you rebirth. He will only look like the person who was reborn. Are you sure you want to do this?" I looked at him with determination in my eyes and said, "Yes. Am I missing anything?" Hades looked at me with no emotion and responded, "No. You have all of the djinns necessary for a rebirth. I will give you the instructions necessary to complete the spell. Do you want the child to be a newborn or another age?" I then thought about that question for a moment and responded, "Hold on, Hades. Let me call for some assistance for your questions." I went to get my metal vessels of Hera, Athena, and Demeter. Their metal vessels consisted of a scepter the size of my forearm with peacock feathers at the top, a golden wristlet with a picture of Medusa's head, and an anklet. I also called for Lucian and Sonja, so I could tell them what I was up to. When I finished explaining my plan to everyone, Sonja was the first to ask, "Does this mean you will be marrying early and give birth or rebirth to a prince?" I only shook my head and I told them, "I don't need to give birth myself. I just have to make a womb from nature and then use the materials that I need to make life. I'm here to ask you if you would raise the young prince while I am away? If so, at what age would be the most convenient for you to teach and raise him?" Sonja and Lucian looked at each other and then back to me and answered, "Two or three would be the best age due that being the time where they learn to fully walk and talk, but it takes time to prepare before they could get to that. I think that the baby would be the same and if not we could raise him quickly and get him to that point as quickly as possible. Will the gods be upset at you for your decision and is it even possible?" I made a notion at the mirror and then I used my energy to summon Demeter in the image. She had on a long nearly white green over the shoulder, A-line dress that went down to her ankles. She wore no shoes and she had small vines wrapped on the knuckle of her toes and on the end of her ankle. She had a forehead crown made of vines that wrapped around her head. She also had on a necklace made of grape vines and she had a pendent in the shape of a grain leaf with a grape in the middle. She had honey golden hair with purple grape colored eyes. She had a kind smile on her face and I asked, "Demeter, you are the goddess of fertility, are you okay with this?" Demeter smiled at me and responded, "You are my king's candidate. I trust every decision you make and I think this will help you cope." I smiled at her and then I dropped the image and summoned Athena. Athena had on white gown that went down to her thighs. Over that she had on battle armor over her mid-area and a battle skirt over her dress. The mid area of her armor had the head of Medusa and her helmet had a crown based around her forehead. She had green eyes and her dark brown hair that was tied up and still went down to her upper back. She had a stern look on her face, so then I straightened my back and then asked Athena, "Athena, you are the goddess of wisdom. What do you think of this situation?" Athena looked at me like she was thinking and then she answered, "You are a fighter but also a ruler. You also have to conquer more dungeons as a king's candidate. The only options you have for continuing the route that you need to is to either marry and birth a child as quickly as possible or have the rebirthing process done for this country's insurance. I will support any decision you make as my king's candidate." Athena bowed, disappeared and then I summoned Hera. Hera was the most elegant out of all the female djinns that I had. She had on a cowl, double shoulder, long A-line dress that had the colors of the peacock: emerald, turquoise, plum, cobalt, and gold, and it flowed down to the floor. She had on a sheer cape that had the same colors of her dress in different areas that had a foot train. Hera herself had plum colored hair that was wavy and she had a braid around the hairline on her forehead, two short strands that went down to her chest, and the rest of it in a tight bun. On her head, she had a crown made of gold and that had three peacock feathers sticking out of the front of her crown. She had turquoise eyes that screamed elegance and experience. I bowed to Hera out of respect and then I asked, "Hera, you are the goddess of birth and motherhood. For this situation, your opinion matters most to me. What is your opinion about the situation?" Hera looked at me without any emotions and then she smiled at me kindly and responded, "I respect that you consider my opinion. Yes, this is not a proper birth, but if the child is loved and cared for, the situation is fine. I will absolutely support any decision you make." I bowed at her and then she disappeared from the mirror. I then looked at Lucian and Sonja and then they both smiled and bowed at me, as to say they support my decision as well.

I then began the process as soon as I had everyone's blessings. I immediately went to the mystic gardens to begin the rebirth process. I brought the metal vessels for Apollo, Demeter, Hera, Zeus, and Hades. The metal vessel of Zeus was a forehead piece that had dropped an inch of beads all around the head and it had a giant blue sapphire that covered my forehead at the nit of my eyebrows. I also brought my magical staff that has grown along with me over the years. The first thing I did was the ancient river that we call Límni Katharismoú. I grabbed my staff and used the magic that I am the most comfortable with and the one I use the best: Life. I also had to mix life, water, and light to create an artificial womb. When I finished the womb, I cut my hand and released my blood within the womb to give it some of my DNA. I then was instructed by Hades to go to my brother's shrine and use some of his ashes. I only took an eighth of his ashes and I went back to Límni Katharismoú and put them within the artificial womb. I then used the abilities of Demeter for the fertilization and then I used Apollo's abilities of healing to put the materials together to form a body. The DNA gave the child snow white hair and due to my brother's ashes had the materials that created a boy's body. When the body was formed into a body of a three-year-old boy I could tell that he was going to look exactly like Sesshomaru. When everything with the body was complete I summoned for Sonja and told her to bring lots of towels and some of Sesshomaru's clothes from when he was three. When she came, she brought Lucian, Ranma, and Tamahome with her. I then began to process of giving life by sending bolts of electricity into the body using Zeus' power. As I felt the electricity beginning to flow throughout like nerves I then began to do a life incantation to keep the heart pumping. Once I felt that the body was self-sustaining I stopped and then the body manage to keep going on its own. Next I used the power of Hades to contact the souls of the dead. Once I found the soul that I was looking for I then began a conversation with a warm sounding voice, "You wish to bring the soul of your older brother back. You made a sub-staining body for him to come back to. You have many great reasons, but I ask: why your brother? Why not another ruler?" I thought about it for a second and responded, "I didn't know anyone else from the royal family. Sesshomaru was the only one who was raised in the same environment as me and he felt alright with Sonja and Lucian, and I feel that he will feel the same way with them again." Then a felt warmth spread throughout the area and then a saw a single white butterfly float around the area and then went into the womb. I then used the power of Hera for the birthing process. It was like a normal birthing with pushing, but with no woman and no screaming. Sonja went up to the womb and when the boy came out, he came out silently.

I then dissolved the womb and then went over to Sonja and the newly born boy. I went and saw that the little boy was just looking at us with pure confusion and curiosity. He had the exact same golden eyes as Sesshomaru. I felt so many emotions at once but the one that overruled the others was pure happiness. I knew I missed my brother but I didn't think that it was to the in-amountable measure. Sonja put a blanket around the little boy. "Isayoi, what do you wish to call this young boy?" I looked at him and I only saw Sesshomaru, but I knew that he wouldn't be Sesshomaru. I thought about it for a minute and responded, "Inuyasha… Inuyasha Timaeus Aristotle Perseus Medea Atlantes. That will be my younger brother's name." Then everyone looked at me, "Your brother? You're not going to declare him as your son?" Lucian asked me. I then responded immediately, "He had the blood of my brother along with some of his ashes. He has more of Sesshomaru in him than me. He will either be declared as my younger brother or my nephew, but either way I will see him as my younger brother." Everyone looked at me with admiration and then they nodded and said, "All hail Prince Inuyasha Timaeus Aristotle Perseus Medea Atlantes, Second Prince of Atlantis." I then smiled and sat to the ground and Sonja handed me young Inuyasha. I then began to coo and make faces at him and he began to smile and laugh at me. He extended his hands up to me and he pulled on my hair a little and feel around my face. I giggled at him and he giggled at me. I then looked up to the others and they all had happy smiles their faces and then I asked, "What are you all smiling at?" Sonja started to cry a little with a smile on her face and she responded, "This is first time you truly smiled since Lord Sesshomaru's death. This is the first time you've been truly happy." I then smiled at them and then at the little boy. I then grabbed my staff with my free hand and then I pressed it against the forehead of the little child and spoke an incantation:

[E: Parakolouthíste me prosochí tis sképseis sas

gia na gínoun ta lógia sas.

Diacheiristeíte kai parakolouthíste ta lógia sas

Katanooún kai na ankaliásei to charaktíra sas

gia na gínetai to peproméno sou kai ta óneirá sas]

The little boy then looked up at me and then I saw the gears working in his brain. "Hello, do you understand me?" I asked the little boy. "Yes, I can understand you perfectly. How did you do that?" I hugged me happily and responded, "I passed on some of my memories of my elder brother and I to you, my younger brother. You were just born, but you are three years old. You will act older than your age and you will learn exceptionally fast, which will be good for you. You are Prince Inuyasha Timaeus Aristotle Perseus Medea Atlantes, Second Prince of Atlantis, and I am Isayoi Angelos Serafeim Krystallo Medea Atlantes, Empress of the Atlantian Empire, also your elder sister. Over there, the nice lady is Sonja, she will be your nanny as she was mine. The older gentleman over there is Lucian: he is the Royal Family Advisor but he will be one of your many mentors. The two boys over there are Tamahome and Ranma. Tamahome is the older one of the two, but Ranma is my age. These will be the only people to know how we did this, but you will be treated as the Young Prince of Atlantis, as you are. Do you understand, Inuyasha?" He looked a little confuse for the moment, which I expected to happen. He looked up to me and smile and nodded. "Great. Now, let's go get you cleaned up in the hot spring baths. You and I can bathe together. Sonja, did you bring the clothes that I requested?" I asked Sonja.

She nodded and handed me another towel and I help Inuyasha to his feet. He struggled to stay up at first and almost fell. He tried to walk and stay up, which was like watching a baby deer walking for the first time, but just like a deer: he learned quickly and was stumbling as he walked. After we walked back to the castle, many of the servants had to do double takes at Inuyasha and I as we walked to the hot springs in the back of the castle. When we got there, I wrapped a towel around my body and then I wrapped a towel around my hair to keep it up and then I went into the spring room. I saw Inuyasha standing by the water with a towel wrapped around his waist. I smiled and then I rang the bell for Sonja and then she arrived within a minute and then I requested, "Sonja, would you, Lucian, Ranma, and Tamahome like to take a bath with Inuyasha and me? I feel like that Inuyasha would feel better if we all were here, wouldn't you, Inuyasha?" Inuyasha then nodded his face ecstatically. She then looked at me nervously and spoke, "But your majesty, you shouldn't let young men besides family gaze at your body. Only your husband should see you without clothing." I smiled at her embarrassment and replied, "Sonja, I have wrap over my breast and I have a piece of clothing over that lower region. It will be fine, besides Inuyasha needs to have some boy time." She looked skeptical at first but then she reluctantly accepted my decision. While we waited Inuyasha and I entered the bath together. At first he was cautious due to the water being so warm. When he finally let loose, he got to relax and he seemed really content. A few moments later Ranma and Tamahome rushed in with towels around their waist with extra towels for the bath. They waved at us nervously and then entered the bath, but they sat on the opposite side of the bath and sat quietly. Both of their parents then entered the bathing area. Sonja wore a long towel that covered her body and a small towel to hold up her mid-length hair and Lucian wore his hair the same way but he wore a small towel around his waist. Lucian sat with his sons and Sonja sat with Inuyasha and I. I narrowed my eyes at them and I said, "What are you three doing? We're here for Inuyasha, so shouldn't you sit next to him and try to act like his brothers and father?" All three of them looked nervous when I spoke to them like that. Lucian was the one to speak up, "Isayoi, you are the Empress of Atlantis. We shouldn't let men see your near bare form." I rebutted, "Lucian, I have things on under this towel. No one will see those areas. Now please allow Inuyasha his boy time." Inuyasha then stood up and went to the boys, leaving Sonja and I to ourselves. We all sat there and talked, Sonja and I laughed when we saw the boy roughhousing. It seemed that Inuyasha was having a great time with the boys and when we finished our bath, the boys took Inuyasha to finish the bath and they took his clothes with them. I decided that it was time for bedtime, and I allowed Inuyasha to sleep with me for the night. I tucked ourselves in and when I got confortable, Inuyasha cuddled up next to me and I wrapped my arm around him. I then began to sing the same lullaby that Sesshomaru sang to me when I was around Inuyasha's age:

[E: On the wind cross the sea

Hear this song and remember

Soon you'll be home with me

Once upon a December]

Inuyasha then clutched onto my shirt and I sang another lullaby:

[E: Oh the waves roll low

And the wave roll high

Or so it goes

Under a bright blue

Endless sky

Waves try to measure

Days that we treasure

Wave hello

And wave goodbye]

Inuyasha only tightened his grip even more and I kept singing to him:

[E: I'll be your candle on the water,

my love for you will always burn.

I know you're lost and drifting

but the clouds are lifting.

Don't give up, you have somewhere to turn.

I'll be your candle on the water,

till every wave is warm and bright.

My soul is there beside you,

let this candle guide you.

Soon you'll see a golden stream of light.

A cold and friendless tide has found you,

don't let the stormy darkness pull you down.

I'll paint a ray of hope around you,

circling in the air,

lighted by a prayer.

I'll be your candle on the water,

this flame inside of me will grow.

Keep holding on you'll make it,

here's my hand so take it.

Look for me, reaching out to show, as sure as rivers flow,

I'll never let you go...

I'll never let you go...

I'll never let you go...]

I then looked over to Inuyasha and his eyes were becoming droopy, so I sang to him to put him to sleep:

[E: Down in Delphi

Hush, aby my baby, summer time is coming soon

Rest your head upon

My breast while sister sings a tune

The sandman is calling

Shadows are falling

Sweet and low

Ooooo…

The sandman is calling

Shadows are falling

So sweet and so

Down in Delphi

Down in Delphi

Down in Delphi]

Finally his eyes were starting to shut, so I finished him to sleep by singing:

[E: You are my world, my darling

What a wonderful world I see

You are the song I'm singing

You're my beautiful melody]

Inuyasha finally fell asleep and then so did I, knowing that I was no longer that last of the Medea-Atlantes bloodline. The next day came and I introduced Inuyasha to the council and they were very skeptical about why he was there and how he came to be. No one questioned it as I announced that he is the Second Prince by my Empress Command. Inuyasha was then welcomed to the palace by all of the servants. He was so cute when he first tried food. He tried to eat everything and when he couldn't eat anymore, he began to cry and I had to comfort him by telling him that there would be time for him to eat different food. When he heard music instruments for the first time, he ecstatically began to play every instrument that he could put his hands on, and he played them beautifully. I assumed that it was just because it was the memories that I put in him that taught him how to play. Ever since Inuyasha came into my life, I saw my ancestors appear more frequently than they used to. I could even hear them more clearly and Hades explained that since I have visited the afterlife and spoke to the guardian that it made me closer to the dead. I spent a month in Atlantis after Inuyasha came into my life, and everywhere that I went so did Inuyasha. He loved to watch me work and I adored having him near me. I taught him how to do many things on his own, such as hygiene, reading, writing, and other things. He learned how to do things for himself at an exceptional rate.

---

The day came when I had to leave for Magnostadt, and Inuyasha was an emotional mess. When I was helping Sonja, Flora, Fauna, and Merriweather with my packing, Inuyasha kept trying to take out all the clothes or just kept holding onto me, almost as if that would stop me from leaving. I decided to take all of my metal vessels with me, but I had all of my household vessel users stay at Atlantis for its own protection. I told the council, that if in my absence that a dungeon was to appear, no one would be permitted to enter it, until I return to conquer it myself. Everyone saw me off to head to Magnostadt, and Lucian, Tamahome, and Ranma escorted me there. When I arrived to Magnostadt, I took the magic placement and entrance exam and passed with flying colors and was placed in the Level One Class for the Type Eight. When I was about to go in Ranma and Tamahome tried to follow me in, but the school wouldn't allow them because they weren't magicians. "I'm sorry, Young Miss, but your friends are not magicians, so they cannot go into Magnostadt." I was puzzled by this, raised my eyebrow, and I stated, "These two are to be my private security, because I am a ruler back in my home country. I was told by my council to have them with me at all times when I am out of our home country, but if you have a problem with that I can just go back and continue to learn there or you can allow my bodyguards to enter at my expense, which will it be?" The guardian magician looked around nervously when a very old elder man came up to us and said, "Now, now, now. We want all of our magicians to succeed and not become mediocre magicians. Now tell me, what is your name and your magician family lineage?" The man had a long beard and he seemed to have had many struggles and personal pains in his lifetime. I stood up straight and proclaimed proudly, "I am Isayoi Angelos Serafeim Krystallo Medea Atlantes, daughter of Kirnitra Yaga Atlantes, and granddaughter of Baba Yaga, the Witch of the Iron Tooth Forest." He looked at me with skeptilation in his eyes and responded, "Well, Miss Atlantes, since you are a daughter of a prodigy such as Kirnitra, I will permit your bodyguards out the respect of his death. Welcome to Maganostadt."

The next year of Magnostadt was a blur for me. I remember doing lessons and completing the exam, but nothing else memory worthy happened. I contacted Inuyasha every day and I continued to spar and practice fighting with Ranma and Tamahome. I even learned how to djinn equip with all of my djinns except for Hades. Hades said that I couldn't djinn equip with him unless it's was life or death situation or if I have total bloodlust for a person. I even graduated early, just as both my grandmother, my father and my brother before me had. When I left Magnostadt, I decided to go meet Lady Scheherazade in Reim before I head back to Atlantis. I studied about Lady Scheherazade before I left Magnostadt. She was a magi, which a person who is one with ruhk and I even looked at images of her and I remember seeing her in my memories. When I went to Reim, I was immediately allowed to go in and see her and when she saw me, she began to cry tears of joy. "Isayoi Angelos Serafeim Krystallo Medea Atlantes. I haven't see you since you were a little newborn baby. You look exactly like your mother, Empress Isayoi: may she rest in peace. What can I do for you, young child?" A woman that I remember seeing when I would talk to my ancestors about my memories. I saw many other souls fluttering around the young woman. I kneeled before her and proclaimed, "Lady Scheherazade, Magi of the Reim Empire, I have come here seeking answers to questions that I have concerning my life and my country." I glanced up and I saw her smiling at me and then I heard a voice behind me say, "Well, maybe you should ask both of us rather than just her." I immediately turned my head and I saw Yunan, the Wandering Magi. He looked at me with confidently with kindness and wisdom in his eyes. I smiled at him and nodded. He walked over to Lady Scheherazade and sat down next to her and then they motioned for me to ask. "Lady Scheherazade, Lord Yunan, why did you pick me as a king's candidate rather than Sesshomaru? Why are there so many dungeons appearing in Atlantis and will there be any more? Should I leave Atlantis to conquer other dungeons? When do I know when to stop?" Both of them then looked at each other and then looked at me and Lady Scheherzade answered, "I only summoned Hades, Artemis, Apollo, and Athena. Yunan summoned Zeus, Hera, Hermes, and Demeter. How many did you conquered already?" I then looked at them with confusion and responded, "I have conquered fifteen dungeons: Zeus, Posiden, Hades, Hera, Hephetus, Hermes, Aphrodite, Ares, Athena, Artemis, Apollo, Demeter, Dionysis, Heracles, and Achilles. Who summoned the other seven?" They both were just silent for a moment until Lady Scheherazade spoke, "It must have been the Magi of the Kou Empire. He either wanted you dead, or wanted you to be unstoppable and control you, and he might summon more. We can give you a vow for us that we will not summon any more for you." I only kept in my knelled position and yelled, "And what about Sesshomaru? Why wasn't he chosen instead of me?!" The both only looked at me sadly and then replied, "Because you were the better candidate of you both. You were more connected to the ruhk than he was and you have a more caring and knowledgeable mind then he would have. We are truly sorry about what happened to Emperor Sesshomaru."

I immediately felt sorrow and I left them at that and then I got into a caravan of traders of Atlantis, who traded at the different places that we have been visiting. Then we started our way back to Atlantis, when we were attacked by a band of soldiers and bandits. All of my warriors began to fight, and I grabbed my bow of Artemis, my wristlet of Athena, and my anklet of Demeter. I always wore my necklace of Apollo and I always had Hades inside of me within my soul. I stepped outside, I held my ground to the stoppers of my voyage and I announced to them, "Bandits of the unknown, heed my warning: return what you stole, turn yourselves in or face my wrath." They all laughed at my threat thinking so little of me, so I began my transformation by saying, "Artemis; goddess of the Moon, hunt, and chastity. I beseech thee, lend me thy strength and wisdom. I summon thee: Artemis!" Then a warm white light engulfed my body and I felt Artemis strength engulf me body. When the glowing died down, my appearance changed. I wore the cut of top of the Amazonians that was pure white and that was wrapped around my neck. I also wore trouser that were made of stag fur and I was bare footed. I also wore a crown that fit around my head that shaped it around as a crescent moon. My eyes were as white as the moon and my hair was still white and was put up in a high ponytail while the front was loose and flowed with the wind. My long recurve bow was longer than before and still retained its silver and it diamond like string. They all were hesitant at me and they looked scared and frightened by me. I then pulled back the string and a bright arrow made of magic and light formed. I fired it to the largest group which were still fall back a while and then the whole ground exploded and created a crater. I began to fight the bandits on my own. While I fought them off with my bow, I heard a man yell, "If you want these men to live you will stop and surrender yourself." I turned around slowly and I saw that Lucian, Tamahome, and Ranma all had swords on their throats. I almost pointed my bow at the three assailants and then they tightened their swords on their throats and I saw a little blood pour out of their necks and I stopped in my tracks. I couldn't lose any more of the people that I loved, so I yelled, "I will surrender, but you need to let everyone go with the items that they bought and are taking with them. I will go with you without a fight."

"No your majesty, you mustn't. You are more valuable than us and – gahh." Lucian couldn't finish his statement because the man put the sword even closer to his throat. I then yelled to the man, "Do we have deal: one non fighting dungeon capturing royal for a caravan?" Then men looked at each other, nodded, and then let Lucian, Tamahome, and Ranma go. Then I walked over to them slowly and I released my djinn equip. As an Atlantian I always honor my commitments so I planned to go with them without fighting. I went over to Lucian and ordered him, "Take care of Atlantis. I will return, I promise. Tell Inuyasha that I love him and that I'm sorry." I then hugged him, left them, went with the men, and that how I ended up with Madaura. (I'm going to skip what happens when she was with Madaura and after that. You'll read about it as it goes. I am going to write about what happens after the leaves Sinbad)

---

I was on the ship with Atlantis within less than an hour of docking. I was standing on the bow of the ship looking out to the land of my birth and where I was raised. I was a different person looking at this ancient land and I couldn't place what I saw different about my beloved home, but I knew I felt something different. When we docked, I began to walk off of the ship when I glanced over and I saw that all of the rulers of Atlantis were bowing to me and I haven't even left the ship yet. I immediately felt happiness to see all of family and friends again, but sadness at the same time because they will never get to meet Sinbad. I stood up straight and when I began to walk to them and my poor little brother was then three with a six year olds body. He was dressed as a young prince should have been and he looked even more like Sesshomaru and I couldn't be happier. He was growing even more handsome than I could have ever imagined. He ran up to me and embraced me as if his life depended it. He felt unmeasurable bliss and I held him closer to me. His hair was even longer than when I left and it was now down his back. He kept crying about how he missed me and I told him that I missed him as well. Then Sonja came over to us and she was crying and she held both of us, because I knew she missed me but she didn't want to disturb the family reunion. Lucian came from the ship and he hugged us while Sonja held us too. I told Sonja that I missed her as well. (I am going to skip the rest of the re-meets and greets because it's in chapter two in Aladdin's dream.)

After I met with everyone again, we began to head back to the capital. During the time Inuyasha sat next to me and only held onto the skirt of my dress. I only stroked his back and we sat there in silence. We stopped in Athens, and when we did I brought a giant satchel full of scrolls to the Knowledge Pursuers Library. They were scrolls from Parthevia, Balbadd, Reim, Kou, and even Magnostadt. They contained new knowledge that our society haven't learn since the death of my father. The librarians were ecstatic to see me and even happier with the fact that I brought new knowledge to our sacred library. We decided to stay with Lelouch while we were staying in Athens and that night we began to talk about what I missed. "Lady Isayoi. The city-states were ready to go to war about Lord Inuyasha after you disappeared. All of the city-states didn't see him as the Second Prince and they didn't know whether they should have saw him as your son. No one knew what to do, but now that you're back we can solve those problems. You also need to establish new trades with the city-states, because some of them began growing and producing new products." I only nodded and knew that once I got back to Delphi, I had a lot of work to accomplish. Lucian sat there and cleared some things that Lelouch had told me. Lelouch also told me about how the arrangement with Tamaki taking over Athens after he marries Kallen, which I was very happy that I wasn't going to miss it. I sent Inuyasha to bed early, Lucian went to sleep as well, while I stood up all night with Lelouch talking about my travels and my journey to come back home. When I finished he then began to consult me, "Well Isayoi, as your household vessel user for Athena, I feel that I should tell you that you had a very estranged journey. I don't know what exactly to tell you, but I feel that you did the right thing by leaving that life and returning home, but I don't feel comfortable with what you did before you returned home. I, personally, don't know that Sinbad man, but I do know you. I know that you would want to do what is best for everyone, so as your consultant, I would say: Don't go into detail about your relationship with that man. He will be able to move on and so will you, while you marry another for our country. As your friend though, I want to say do what makes you happy. If you want to marry Sinbad, as your friend I will stand by your decision, but as your consultant I would advise against it." I smiled at Lelouch's kind statement and I hugged him. He knew what to say to make me feel better.

Before the sun rose the next day, I went to the Temple of Athena and I began to pray to her: [Athena, Goddess of Wisdom, I beseech thee. Lend me your wisdom and help me lead my country into peace and prosperity.] I then threw one of the jewels that I had in my hairpiece into the burning flame and finished my prayer. I went back to Lelouch's castle and saw that everyone was waiting for me at the front. All of the soldiers, Lucian, Lelouch, and even Inuyasha all bowed to me as I walked past them into the carriage. Inuyasha followed suit and then so did Lucian and all of the others stopped bowing and then they placed their right fist upon their left side of their chest with their left arm behind their backs: as a symbol of saluting in our country. I then nodded to them with a smile on my face and the carriage took off. I saw the people of my country and I waved to them elegantly while smiling. I saw that many of them had tears of joy within their eyes as they waved back to me, and the children were throwing flowers at the carriage and I managed to catch a single white lily and I smiled at the little boy with purple hair and I automatically thought of Him. I put on a fake smile for my citizens as we rode out of Athens and on track on the way back to Delphi. While we rode back, I swirled the white lily in my hand while saying nothing but thinking entirely of Sinbad. I came to love the man and I had to leave him. I guess Lucian and Inuyasha saw something was bothering me because Inuyasha gave me a small shake and asked with concern written on his face, "What's wrong, Onee-chan? Is there something wrong with that lily?" I gave him a small, sad, but kind smile and was about to tell him about Sinbad when Lelouch's voice rang in my mind, "Don't go into detail about your relationship with that man." I then stopped my voice and responded to the concern young child, "It is nothing. I just thought of a friend who I left back at the main land." Inuyasha then smiled at me and cuddled close to me. I smiled at his innocence but when I looked up I saw Lucian giving a stare as if to say he knew there was more to the details.

When we arrived back at Delphi, every street and shop were decorated with their brightest extravagant colors and I smiled at their excessiveness. I waved at all of the people as we road through town to make our way back to the castle and many of them were crying tears of joy, shouting happily that I have returned, and threw flowers and colorful shreds of paper at the carriage. This made me miss Atlantis even more than I had before and I was beyond thrilled to have returned back to my home country. We arrived back to the castle by noon and while I hugged the servants before they took my items, which wasn't many, into the castle I saw that the rulers of the city states were heading inside of the castle. When I finished hugging everyone, I went over to the gate area and shook hands and hugged people through the gate, all while accepting the small gifts that my citizens were giving me for my safe return; items such as bread and cookies from the bakery, new sword by the blacksmith, flowers from children, and even kisses on the cheek from boys around my age, children, women, and even married men.

When I finished with my citizens I went back into the castle and I went into my meeting room and I saw that all of the city-state rulers were sitting and waiting patiently for me. They were all now the friends who I grew up with: Lelouch, Kallen, Tamaki, Holo, Jeno, Erza, Natsu, Homura, Kaori, Kallen, and Minato. They all rose from their seats and I spoke, "I apologize for being late, but I wished to consul my citizens and I sincerely hope that you all can understand with being away for three years has made me miss my dear country and citizens." Then all agreed with my reasons and then I went over to my chair and sat down and they all followed after me. The rest of the day, we sat and solved all the problems that occurred while I was away and I managed to create new trade and trade routes with the new products that I brought with me from the main land that we could have grown here at Atlantis. We even established new policies with trading and how much and where we were to trade.

After the meeting, I began a basic daily routine. At sunrise I would go to the temples, pray to the gods and to my family and ancestors, go through my mid-day walks through Delphi, afternoon meetings, shared the evenings with Inuyasha, and at sunset I would go back to the temples and pray my blessings for my country. There were very rare times where I would leave the city of Delphi or go to the mines. Once in a great while, I had my eagle come back to me with stacks full of letters. I made sure to tell Jafar in my final letter to him, to collect any letter directed to me. He would collect them, put them together and my eagle would go to the company and take them off of his desk and bring them back to me. I would then sort out my letters each one having its own containment box. Sinbad seemed to have written me the most. Jafar always gave me reports on how everyone was adjusting, but he had a difficult time talking about Sinbad. I wrote him back at times, but I didn't write anyone else besides Jafar. This routine continued for about ten months until two weeks before Remembrance Day once again dreadfully came our island. I had one secret that I had to keep from everyone except a select few, but I didn't know how to fully explain the situation and how to handle the situation, so I just hid it away until the proper time to announce it. One night, I had a terrible dream that a beast with a massive stature began to attack my island. The beast was a massive monster made entirely out of sand. He looked to be like an elderly, masculine man with eyes filled with hatred, revenge, and bloodlust. The monster managed to summon an army made entirely out of sand and gravel and I saw that they were trying to destroy the island as well. I saw all of the citizens fleeing for their lives and being killed due to the destruction of the island and the towns. My household vessels and I fought the beast to the best of our abilities, but some of them manage to lose their lives as well. The dream ended with me sacrificing myself to the beast and combusting myself to finish off the dreadful creature. I awoke with a start and shot up from my lying position and I noticed Inuyasha in my room, next to my bed, looking at me with nothing but concern in his eyes. I extended my hand out to him and he held it out of desperation and I asked him, "What is it, Inuyasha? There is nothing to worry about it was only a bad dream." I saw him shaking and looking at me with fear and he responded, "I don't think that is what it was. Your eyes were wide awake and they shone like the sun. Your necklace was glowing as well, Onee-chan. I think Apollo was showing you something." I then held him closely to me and responded shakenly, "I certainly hope not, little brother."

I sent Inuyasha out of the room after we held each other for a couple of moments. Once he was out, I arose from my bed and grabbed the wristlet of Athena, and I went to my large mirror. I held onto my necklace and I summoned Apollo through the mirror, "Apollo, you are the god of prophecies. Tell me, was that vision one from the future? If so, can I change it?" Apollo then appeared in the reflection. He was a tall tan man to a height of 6'3 with gorgeous golden hair that shined like the sun. He had a perfect bone structure with eyes like the azure sky. He had on a white toga that went to his knees and a thick golden belt around his waist. He also had on long golden sandals and a golden wreath upon his head. He had a lyre within his right hand while the other hung loosely at his side. He looked at me with sympathy in his eyes, nodded, and responded, "Yes, my king's candidate. That was a vision of the future of your empire within two weeks, on Remembrance Day. The future can always be changed, if one has the courage and determination to change it. I am sorry, but that is all the advice I can give you, my king." I bowed to his and released the spell and then summoned Hades through the mirror. "Hades, I will change the future of my country, but before I do, I need your blessing for whatever plans I wish to make." Hades lifted the sides of his lips slightly and nodded, which gave me his response. I released the spells and I summoned Athena through the mirror and I asked her, "Athena, you are the goddess of wisdom. I seek your advice on the situation. What shall I do for my people? This creature will destroy everything, and I know my people will get caught in the crossfire and I will lose many people that I love and I swore to protect. Please, I seek your counsel." She looked at me sternly and responded, "You need an immediate evacuation. Your people are your first priority and that is why they need the evacuation. I know you will stay and fight this beast and I will stand with you. Make sure everything is in order when the evacuation and that Atlantis will survive in case something happens to you. I will support any decision you make, my king." She bowed and then vanished from the mirror. I then sat down on my bed and then I ran my hands through my head trying to figure out what to do. I knew that I had ot get them out of Atlantis, but I didn't want to cause a panic or let our trading allies know. I then called out to one of my ladies in waiting and Flora came in and I told her to go get Lucian.

When she returned, I saw Lucian walk into my estate and he bowed. I smiled at him because he was always to formal with me and Sesshomaru. I waved my hand for dismissal for Flora and she stepped out of the room. "Take a seat, Lucian. You and I need to talk about some things." He sat down in a chair next to my desk and I walked over and sat as well. I was about to speak, until Lucian raised his hand to silence me and he spoke, "My Lady… no… Isayoi. I have been helping to care and teach you for all of these years, since you were a new born baby. Normally I thought that we had no secrets between us, but ever since your return, you have been… distant. You don't smile as much as you used to. You haven't held a soiree for your return or for anything. You don't do anything that you used to do like play music, write poetry, baking, or even sing. I understand you went through so much, but you haven't told anyone of it and I think that holding it in will have a worse effect. Before you tell me what you summoned me for, I have to know, what fully happened to you when you gone from Atlantis?" He had desperation in his eyes when he asked me this question and I realized… he was fully right. I haven't sung since I left Sinbad, or even played music, write, or bake. I sat there for a moment until I felt something wet touch my hand. I looked down and saw tears on it and then when I reached up to my face, I realized that I was crying involuntary. I forgot all about Lucian, because after I realized that I was crying, he put his arms around me into a hug. I looked at him and he had hurt sketched into his face, and that's when I knew that I needed to tell him. All of my life, I have known Lucian since I was a babe and I have rarely ever seen emotions on his face. He usually had a stoic face and showed his emotions in his eyes. I sat there for a moment and then I tapped his back, and he let go and sat down right next to me. "Okay, I will tell you everything, but I want to tell Sonja too. I know both you and her have been worrying." He lifted the sides of his lips a little and then I called Flora and told her to go get Sonja and leave Inuyasha to his lessons. When she came, she sat down next to Lucian and then I told them everything that happened to me after I was captured by the slave traders. When I finished I saw hurt in Lucian's eyes and I saw sympathy in Sonja eyes. "Isayoi… you… I…. I can't believe…" Lucian couldn't even speak a full sentence to me, but I knew he was disappointed about what happened with Sinbad. Sonja reached out and hugged me and stroked my head. The dam of emotions that I had built inside then completely broke and I sobbed into her arms. I missed him. I missed him so much, and he did affect me even when he wasn't even around.

When I finally cried out my heartbreak out, I sat up straight, thanked them for comforting me and I continued to talk about what I initially wanted to talk about. "Lucian, Sonja, I had a terrible vision, sent to me by Apollo. A beast will attack Atlantis and it is nearly unstoppable. We need an immediate island evacuation, but we cannot cause a public panic. I will send out the order tonight, ordering the evacuation and if the rulers for the city state wish to speak to me about it, they will have to send their citizens out first and then come see me, but first I want your blessings to continue this, especially yours Lucian." Sonja said nothing but just looked at Lucian. Lucian was silent for a moment and then he nodded his head and left. He was disappointed in me, but I knew that he wouldn't say it. Sonja looked at me with concern for a moment and then I told her to summon the castle scripter to my office. After the scripter came to my office, I told him what exactly to write and you could tell that he was shocked about the abruption of my commands and orders for my country. I told him to make as many copies for all the city state leaders as well for the leaders of the small villages. I also told him to make more for some of my private police force to send them to the other small villages that we haven't had much contact with. After all of the letters were written, I sent then all out either by messengers or delivery hawks. Within hours, I had all of my household members contact me through their metal vessels, asking me what was going on. I told them that they need to send their citizens out of the country and that they can come talk to me afterward.

The next day I got messages from the people of the docks saying that all the ships were being loaded and sailing off to different locations due to the city-states rulers' commands. They want them in different locations where they have similar views or beliefs. It was in the evening when it was confirmed that the ships were set off. The mayor of the port towns said that they were staying behind to help the rest of the island to evacuate. I sent out the order the Amazonians of the North as wee the smaller towns and villages were to evacuate next. Days afterwards Homura who was now the Queen of the Amazonians at the age of ten. She came to speak to me about the evacuation and then I told her that if she wished to stay for a while, but she couldn't stay on Remembrance Day. I then ordered the east side of the island for evacuation and then Minto and Natsu both came after their citizens were shipped out and they wanted to stay at my side. I then sent out the west side of island and after they were out, Kallen, Jeno, and Holo came in after their people were shipped off to somewhere more peaceful. I finally gave the order that the rest of the island is to evacuate and that I will be seeing them off for the final docking. Everyone was in the port town, with only two days until Remembrance Day, and it was mid-day and I gave the order that everyone was to leave before sunset. I was sitting with my household members who were all sitting there ready to discuss my final orders. "We are staying with you," Erza was the first to proclaim this. I tried to tell her that she need be with her people and that staying there wasn't an option. Minato, Natsu, Tamahome, Kallen, Inuyasha, Lelouch, Kaori, Ranma, and Jeno were all trying to say that they were all going to stay, but I wouldn't allow them to. The ones who wouldn't say anything: Lucian, Homura, Holo, and Sonja all sat there in silence but I knew that they all wanted to stay as well, but they were going to let the others drag this out. I was arguing with most of them until one booming voice stopped us all in our tracks, "STOP ARGUING THIS INSTANT! YOU ALL SOUND LIKE CHILDREN!"

I turned to see Baba standing the doorway scowling at us. We all looked at each other for a moment and then I walked up to Baba and tried to help her in the room while saying, "Baba, I didn't know you were coming. I thought you were staying at the Iron Tooth Forest. Let me help you to your seat. You must be exhausted from –" she then slapped my hand away and revoked, "Don't patronize me! I'm not that old! I always come for Remembrance Day and I came to find out the whole island had an immediate evacuation! When I come to ask you about it, I come to find your whole office surrounded by the rulers, just standing around bickering like children!" I then tried to calm her down and try to explain what exactly was going on, but she just kept yelling at me as she walked to a seat near mine. When she finally got to her seat, she sat down and glared at all of us. She told us what to do with a low, strict, and threatening voice, "Now, you all will sit down and we will find out what exactly to do together. Unity is one of Atlantis greatest qualities, isn't it?" We all looked at each other again and then sat at our assigned seats. Baba kept yelling at us about how we need to work as a unit. Baba told me about how the decision to stay is all up to them and I can't tell them what to do since they are my household vessel wielders. I sat there in silence and just looked at them all. They all looked at me with silence until Erza stood up and went down on one knee and proclaimed, "My Empress, I will lend my sword and be your shield. I swear my life to only you and your safety." All of the others followed suit by kneeling and proclaiming that their lives will be served as my sword and my shield. I barely managed to tell Minato to go with Kushina to raise their son, he did reluctantly agree to go. For the rest of them, I began to cry tears of sadness because I knew that they might not make out of this situation alive. I nodded to them all and then we sat and talk for the rest of the time until the sun began to set. My household vessel users and I along with Baba all set out to watch the last of my people get off of the island.

Before I gave to order to board the ship, I looked at all of my people and they all had sadness in their eyes and I began my speech to lighten their hearts, "My brothers and my sisters. I have been dreading this day for a long time. Atlantis will always be your rightful home and when the threat has been destabilized, you will be welcomed back with open arms. Please, do not shed tears. We will all be together again one day, but until then, we all must survive together. We will be within each other hearts and minds and every day I will pray for your safety, prosperity, and for all of us to unite. Please be safe and remember your countries pride." The ships then began to sail off and then the necklace of Apollo began to glow and my people began to sing:

[People: Fatshe leso lea halalela

Fatshe leso lea halalela

Isayoi: Shadowland

The leaves have fallen

This shadowed land

This was our home

The river's dry

The ground has broken

So you must go

Now you must go

And where the journey may lead me

Let your prayers be my guide

You cannot stay here, my family

But I'll remember my pride]

Isayoi (People):

[(Prideland)

I have no choice

(My land)

I will find my way

(Tear-stained)

Lea halalela

(Dry land)

(Take this)

Take this prayer

(With you)

What lies out there

(Fatshe leso)

Lea halalela

People: And where the journey may lead you

Let this prayer be your guide

Though it may take you so far away

Always remember your pride]

Baba then came to me and began to say an incantation to wish us a safe journey and to bless our memories and warm the hearts of my people. I felt the warmth of my people's love and then I used my magic with my magoi of my djinn's to light up our ancestors to show the bright light of our love and loyalty. The sky was lit with every color of light as it led the way and then my people began to chant and sing while Baba kept chanting:

[People (Isayoi): (Fatshe leso lea halalela)

Fatshe leso lea halalela

Fatshe leso lea halalela

(And where the journey may lead you)

And where the journey may lead me

(Let this prayer be your guide)

Let this prayer be my guide

(Though it may take you so far away)

Though it may take me so far away

(Always remember your pride)

I'll remember my pride

(And where the journey may lead you)

Giza buyabo, giza buyabo

(Let this prayer be your guide)

I will return, I will return

Beso bo

(Though it may take you so far away)

Giza buyabo, I will return

(Always remember your pride)

Giza buyabo, oh giza buyabo

Beso bo, my people, beso bo]

My family and I watched them sail until all the light from their boats and the lights of our ancestors couldn't be seen anymore. I held my ground and stood tall for my family but I couldn't help from the tears overflowing down my face. I felt as they gave me many hugs, pats, and comforts. When the lights were gone, I turned to Baba, and gave her a serious look. She sighed, hugged me, and whispered, "Don't die. Remember who you are and what you will always stand for. I will see again." I nodded, returned the hug, and whispered, "Beso bo, Baba… Baba Yaga." She then took off in her mortar, my ancestors appeared, and I watch her leave me. I whispered, "Beso bo." I turned to my remaining family, I nodded to them, and I excused myself. I djinn equipped myself with Apollo. My djinn equip with Apollo consisted of a golden breast plate with a white skirt the ended at my thighs. My hair changed to a golden hue as well as my eyes. I adorned a golden wreath around my head and I wore armlets and golden lace up sandals. I also wore a necklace that consisted of golden roses with one giant golden sunflower in the middle with my purple stone. I also held a small golden lyre in my right hand. I turned to the direction of Delphi and I told them without emotions, "Fly back to Delphi. We fight tomorrow at dusk." They all bowed to me and I took off to Delphi as tears streamed down my face. It took me less than an hour flight to get there and when I did, I flew to the temples and I set off the giant fireplace in the center of all the temples. I went to the castle, grabbed five chests full of treasures, and threw into the fire for an offering for the battle that was to rage on tomorrow, Remembrance Day.

Before any of them could come to the temple, I stood before the giant fire that flew the riches into the star filled sky. The moon was with its full position, overlooking to massive world. I held onto a single loop earring given to me by Sinbad and I looked to the sky and many of my ancestors appeared and began to sing a solemn melody and I began to sing with them, hoping that my feelings will reach him:

[E: I've heard there was a secret chord

That Apollo played, and it pleased the Lords

But you don't really care for music, do you?

It goes like this

The fourth, the fifth

The minor fall, the major lift

The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah]

(Author's note: Sinbad will also be singing at the same time, but only the audience will know)

[S: Your faith was strong but you needed proof

I saw you bathing on the roof, Your beauty in the moonlight overthrew me

You tied me to a kitchen chair

You broke my throne, and you cut my hair

And from my lips you drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Sinbad: Baby I have been here before I know this room,

I've walked this floor I used to live alone before I knew you.

Both: I've seen your flag on the marble arch

Love is not a victory march

It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Isayoi: Hallelujah,

Sinbad: Hallelujah

Both: Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Isayoi: I did my best, it wasn't much

I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch I've told the truth,

I didn't come to fool you,

Both: And even though it all went wrong

I'll stand before the Lord of Song

With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah]

I then began another tone:

[Isayoi: I'm out here on my own

To face the day alone

I need you to get me through the night

I lost out in the cold

I want someone to hold

I feel you near though you're out of sight

And even though, we fallen apart

I'll search the moonlit sky

I made a wish to be home with you

Can't you hear me cry

Show me the light

Someone to lead and guide me

Show me the light

A love to stand beside me

Show me the light

When I fear the dark

A ray of sunshine

A rainbow's arch

Show me the light

Sinbad: I'm reaching for our star

I'm wondering where you are

Where is my love

Is she searching for me too?

Oh beyond the mountain tops

My dream will never stop

Give a sign, I'm running out of time

Isayoi: Oh, I know that you're on your knees

Both: Praying for me now

Won't you come and hear my please

Isayoi: And save me somehow

Sinbad: Show me the light

Someone to lead and guide

Show me the light

A love to stand beside

Both: Show me the light

When I fear the dark

Sinbad: A ray a sunshine

Isayoi: A rainbow's arch

Sinbad: Show me the light

Where are you, E?

Both: Show me the light]

I finished singing alone, and I only sat there gazing at the giant blazing flame while I waited for my my household vessels users. The flame changed from a brilliant orange, to a fierce red, an elegant white, a soft yellow, and a harsh blue at the bottom. The flames danced around each other and gave me warmth that I certainly never deserved. The giant fire made me think of when Sinbad and I had out first kiss at the Torran Village and when I realized how I really care for him. I sat there and continued to remember all of the memories that I had shared with Sinbad, Jafar, Masrur, Sharrkan, Mystras, Hinahoho, Rurumu, and the others. I sat there for a while, until my household members showed up and then we sat there for a moment and sat in our own silence. I used my clairvoyance magic to show Sinbad through the fire. "E?! IS THAT YOU?! WHERE ARE YOU, I'LL GO FIND YOU AND BRING YOU BACK! JUST LET ME KNOW!" Sinbad yelled out of desperation. I was the only one to hear and see him though and then I began to sing:

[Isayoi: I remember tears streaming down your face

When I said I'll never let you

When all those shadows almost kill your light

I remember you say Don't leave me hear alone

But all that's dead and gone has past tonight

Just close your eyes

My sun is going down

You'll be alright

I can never hurt you now

Come morning light

Now you will be safe and sound]

Sinbad kept yelling at me through the fire, begging me to hang on and calling my name. I could hear the desperation and heart ache in his voice, and it was enough to bring tears to my eyes. I looked at him with love, sorrow, and I continued while my household vessels harmonized with my words:

[Isayoi: Don't you dare come looking for me

Darling everything's on fire

The war outside my door is raging on

Hold on to this lullaby

Even when my music's gone, gone

Just close your eyes

My sun is going down

You'll be alright

I can never hurt you now

Come morning light

Now you will be safe and sound

Oooo… x2

Ohwoah…x2

Ooo…x2

Ohwoah…x2

Just close your eyes

You'll be alright

Come morning light

Now you will be safe and sound

Ooo…x5]

After that I stood up, looked at Sinbad, and said, "I love you." I heard him screaming, yelling, begging me not to leave him. I then ended the spell and went into the castle to prepare for tomorrow.

I couldn't sleep the whole night, and morning came before I even knew it. I spent my whole day socializing with my household vessel users and with Inuyasha. We all just hung out, talked, and played games with each other until sunset when the earth began to shake. We all took off to the west to the temples and saw that the giant fire place was gone and saw that there was another giant temple standing in its place. The temple was made completely of sad and still held together. I gaze the other their orders and we all got into our positions. Erza, Natsu, Tamahome, Jeno, Homura, and Kaori got into position to fight the beast that was to come. I sent Holo, Sonja, Tamaki, and Kallen to the far sides of the island the day before so that I could send my spell as far to their locations. Lelouch, Ranma, Lucian, and Inuyasha all stood at my side on the balcony. After we all got into positions, the ground began to shake again, and then the temple crumbled when a gigantic beast made of sand came out of the dungeon. The sand of the temple crumbled to the ground and the beast looked at until it saw us and then roared with full bloodlust in its voice. Erza, Tamahome, and Natsu all dashed to the beast and began to fight it with their weapons and bare hands. Jeno joined a little later, and Homura and Kaori attacked the beast from a distance. Every wound they made, was healed instantly with the sand. The beast kept attacking until it felt it was outnumbered and it roared again. From the sound, came forth a bunch of sand soldiers that looked like human size versions of the beast. We were outnumbered and outpowered, so that's when I decided to release the final spell of sealing from my father's family***.

I felt a warm light ascend from the sky and I kept hearing many voices of my ancestors whispering to come to them. Three voices stood out the most out of all of them. One was a baritone sounding voice deep baritone voice spoke to me saying, "Come home." Then another velvety soprano voice spoke, "She's doesn't need to head home. Protect your clan and those you love." The final deep velvety bass voice spoke and said, "I will grant you strength." I then felt an emissive amount of warmth fill my being and then I rose with power and finalized my spell. When I touched the ground of my balcony, the earth was engulfed with marble and absorbed me, all of my household vessel users, and the beast. After the spell finished, I was within a giant library that was filled with the warmth of magic and magoi. I turned around and I saw a little boy, who didn't seem to have noticed me, was reading a scroll on his stomach. I walked over to him and I heard the feminine voice say, "Don't. You will meet later in life. When he's older and more experienced." I retracted my head and I walked to the other side of the library and I saw a giant blue man standing there and he motioned me into another room. We talked for what seemed like hours and I finally got the meet the woman. She had long pink hair and a velopous body. She was kind and funny. I sat there and talked to many of my ancestors, the woman, the blue man, and I also talked the man with the deep voice who was said to be, Solomon.

POV CHANGE: Aladdin

Alibaba and me both had tears in our eyes, even Morgiana had tears in her eyes from E's life story. She sat there and held a straight face as she finished. "That's my story. I had my reasons for leaving and I have my reasons for returning and continuing to fight for Atlantis," E told us. I looked outside and it was sunset, that means it took a full day for E-neesan to fully explain her life story.
