Hiya! I'm back (gasps of horror). Sorry it took so long. It is my first fic, after all. I would really appreciate reviews on this chapter, as I'm a little uncertain as to whether it sounds right. I think it's a little OC? I'd also appreciate any suggestions for plot, etc. As I said, I'm new to this! (you'd never have guessed, would you!!!) Thanks a lot to the four people who reviewed so far. You made my day, seriously!!! So, thanks to:
Space-Case7029: My first reviewer. Thanks a lot. As you can see from this chapter, yes, it was a dream, and no, Maeve isn't really dead! As if I would do that in my first fic!!!
Lizicia: Thanks. If you take a look at the first chapter again, you'll see that I have changed the spelling from Mauve to Maeve, just for you!!! Much appreciated!!!
Warriorgoddess: Don't worry, it was just a dream!!! Thanks for the review. Short but sweet!!
SpelCastrMax: Thank you very much!!! Sorry about the cliff-hanger ending. Afraid that this chapter is something of a cliff-hanger, too, though not as bad, and I'll try to update sooner this time.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything except the plot!

He jerked awake, eyes wide, mouth open in a silent scream. He was drenched in sweat, the clothes he had fallen asleep in sticking uncomfortably to his body, his hair plastered to his head, his breathing ragged. He lay there, a ray of the morning light falling across his face. It was a dream. Just a dream. Nightmare. Sneak preview of hell. Whatever.
Reality slowly returned as the dream faded. Morning. Crap. Today was the day that he would have to take his crew to the mainland to get supplies. They had done it hundreds of times before, it sounded simple enough. Hell, it was simple enough, if not for one small problem. The ruler of the island had changed since he had last been here. He had not met the new Emperor of Londasa, and it worried him. He had been to unknown islands before, but he had a bad feeling about this one. What he had heard about it was not brilliant. But not terrible, either, a little voice in his head said fairly.
Sinbad sighed. Perhaps he was worrying about nothing. And even if he wasn't, his crew was more than capable of handling anything that came up. He hoped. He would just have to keep his wits about him.
Unfortunately, that could be slightly more difficult than anticipated, he thought, as he sat up and nearly blacked out from the blinding pain in his head. Shit.
