Second chapter update for summer. Also, on a side note. I've seen a few reviews of people stating that my plot doesn't make much sense to them. Which, again, these are unedited chapters and I'm working on making them flow more smoothly as well as having a more concrete plot. I just have to post them as is, or being the perfectionist I am, I would spend months editing just one chapter and never post anything. However, I would appreciate it if those people would state that I simply need to work on my plot skills rather than rudely stating that it's stupid. Still, I am taking the criticism into account however and working on it XD. Thank you to all who have stuck with my writing skills so far and continue to do so. I'm very grateful for your support. Enjoy!

After a few minutes, they made it to the med wing and Adeline gently placed Alibaba on a bed. Aladdin had run to catch up on the way there and was now standing back with everyone else, concerned. Adeline knowing some first aid got to work quickly, as Alibaba's breathing had become irregular. She quickly took off his shirt to get a better look at the mark. It had grown considerably in size on the walk over.

Cloth, bowels, dry herbs, and what Adeline assumed to be isopropyl alcohol bottles lined the few shelves in the room. She didn't want to touch the mark, not knowing what would happen if she did. Alibaba's skin was burning underneath her touch. The only thing she could think to do was to try and get his body temperature down. She grabbed a bowl and cloth, instructing Morgiana to pump some cold water into a bowl. Adeline grabbed another bowl and asked Aladdin to do the same.

While they got water from the closest pump, Adeline looked over the dried herbs on the shelves. If there was peppermint, she might be able to make a tea to help a little with the fever. Her father had always made her the tea whenever she was sick to help reduce fever. She spotted some of the small green leaves in one of the containers and grabbed a small handful. She looked around for a small cup but not seeing any deferred to using a smaller bowl.

Morgiana came back with some water, just as she had placed the leaves in the bowl. Adeline grabbed the bowl from Morgiana and poured a third of the water into the make-shift cup. She then took the rest of the water towards Alibaba. Dipping a cloth into the water, she strung it out and placed it on his forehead. Aladdin got back not to long after that. Placing his bowl on the opposite table with the peppermint water.

"Good," She smiled slightly at him. "You're back. Now this is very important. I need you to take the water you got and, if you can, make ice. Also, I need you to try to heat the water in that other bowel up to about scalding level. Do you think you can do that?" Aladdin looked back at her with doubt lingering in his eyes. Adeline tried to give him a reassuring smile.

He took a deep breath. "I'll try." He stated resolutely and began mumbling an incantation over the hopefully soon to be tea. Adeline held her breathe while he worked. Hoping that her idea would work. She watched for what seemed like minutes, until finally she saw what seemed to be a simmer coming from the water.

"Ah!" She nearly shouted. "That's it!" Aladdin looked pleased with himself at his control and Adeline rushed forward clapping him on the back. "Good job!" He nodded resolutely and began on trying to turn the other bowel of water into ice.

While Adeline tested the water and got it down to a drinkable temperature (letting the leaves seep), Aladdin worked his magic. After a small amount of time, he was able to not quite make ice but a slushy sort of water. Adeline smiled appreciatively, knowing ice wasn't his strong suit.

Adeline administered the tea first, before slowly pouring the ice water on vital parts of Alibaba's body. She changed the cloth on his forehead one more time, before sighing and backing away.

"Well," She looked somewhat gravely back towards the others. "That's all I can do for now." A groan sounded behind her. She turned and saw that Alibaba was finally coming too, his breathing was still a little too rapid for her taste however…

Alibaba groaned again and opened his eyes slightly. He cringed as the curse on his shoulder pulsed. Adeline walked towards him, pushing him back down when he tried to sit up.

"Rest." She told him firmly. "You're in the medical wing. Calm down. I knocked you out to help with the pain. Sinbad and Yam should be on their way now." He nodded and relaxed back into the bed.

Sinbad came rushing through the doors a few minutes later. "What happened!?" He asked urgently. Alibaba was quick to sit up at Sinbad's entrance, trying to play down his pain. Adeline nearly rolled her eyes. Men…

Alibaba suddenly cried out in pain, clutching his shoulder, as the curse pulsed again. Then an ominous voice suddenly resonated out from it. "Even after trying to provoke you, you won't budge!" Seeming to be almost exasperated by the thought. A dark cloud then shot out of the mark, twirling slowly in a circle, before forming into the shape of a man. "You are an impossibly spineless man!" The man accused. Adeline didn't see how the two statements fit together herself and stood with her arms folded glaring at the dark magician. Everyone stood ready to attack at the man's first move.

Alibaba seeming to suddenly recover, or ignore, his previous ailment, moved suddenly to a ready position by Aladdin and Morgiana. "Who are you!?" He shouted to the magician. To which he was simply ignored.

The man went on with his speech. Gloating about his cunning move to get past Sinbad's magician's barrier. Adeline gawked in open amazement at Sinbad's stupidity, as he pulled his sword out of its sheathe slicing the man in half. Adeline instantly knew that something wasn't right. The man had had plenty of time to protect himself but made no move to do so, he was hiding something.

Suddenly, the events of what came next rushed into her thoughts. She gritted her teeth in anger and spared a glance towards Sinbad as blood spurted outwards from the cut. Noticing a nearly invisible smirk on his face. Adeline moved again without really thinking of the consequences, leaping in front of Sinbad. He stared in obvious shock at her move before quickly glaring at her as a massive shit-eating grin spread on her face. Aladdin put up a shield to protect the others in the range of the blood as they both landed on the ground. Sinbad quickly masked his expression before pushing her slightly aside to see the villain.

"Quite interesting," The man stated at Adeline's interference. "No matter. I've placed the fatal curse of our father's will upon her. Consider this an invitation to both of you. Become a dark ruler and be subjugated by our father. This will take hold of your magoi and color your rukh black. You'll eventually be reborn as completely different people. In other words, you will fall." The man dramatically stated.

Adeline tried to suppress a laugh after he finished talking but failed miserably…She snorted slightly in the moment of silence after he finished talking. Everyone turned and looked at her with eyebrows raised. She just shrugged at them, better keep my mouth shut she thought.

The magician eyed her critically. "Think it's funny do you?" He raised an eyebrow. "We'll see how funny you think it is later. If you fight it, Solomn's rukh and the black rukh will begin destroying each other and your physical body will die." The man smirked at them as Alibaba gasped slightly behind her. Adeline, however, remained impassive in front of him. She knew the man was after some kind of reaction from them but she wouldn't give him the satisfaction. The man simply glared down at her as he parted with the words, "I'll be waiting for you, in the darkness of the fall." The air around him shifted and spun again. His body disappeared and dark rukh flew outwards in a cloud before disappearing completely.

P.S. I literally looked up herbs to brew for helping reduce fever. So... if I'm wrong about the peppermint, please tell me so XD. Everything else is pretty basic first aid XD.
