I do not own Magi or any of its characters, I only own Erol Halabi
Last time on Magi: Inurned City of Magic
Erol's eyes crack open as the door rises upwards and the sound of loud voices can be heard from outside the room...
Amon Dungeon, Qishan
Erol slowly lifts himself to his feet, rubbing the sleep from his eyes as he makes his way toward the light. Hearing slight whimpers and pained noises as well as loud yelling causes the green-haired boy to flip the blades of his katars forward and rush toward the light faster. Grinding to a halt when he reaches the light which is a doorway leading to a small drop, he gazes down to see a dark-haired man forcefully kicking a young red-headed girl with a tall brutish man standing by complacently.
"Not yet?! This is your fault! You incompetent fool!" The man yells as he kicks the girl more "Die! Die! Die! You Filth!"
Enraged by the sight, Erol leaps down from the doorway, slamming his foot into the man's side, causing him to stumble away from the beaten girl.
"No human deserves this!" The green-haired boy snaps.
"Silence fool! She is my property! I'll do what I please!" The man growls as he stamps up to Erol, only for him to be kicked back "Gah! Goltas!" the masked brute steps forward after hearing his name called.
"NO-ONE SHOULD BE KEPT AS A SLAVE! YOU HEAR ME?! NO-ONE!" Erol roars as he spins through the air, kicking Goltas in the shoulder and spinning, dragging his katars down the brute's arms before nimbly avoiding Goltas' sword swings.
"...who is he?..." The red-headed girl whispers as she watches the green-haired boy flip through the air and deftly strike the gigantic Goltas.
"You dolt Goltas! I'll handle this runt if you are so unable to yourself!" The man snaps as he draws his blade "No-one humiliates Lord Jamil!"
"I think I just did" Erol stifles a laugh as he leaps over Jamil and scratches his back with his katars.
"Damn you kid!" Jamil growls as he swings his sword, the blade missing its intended target entirely.
"Ooh~ Almost" The green-haired boy smirks as he propels himself into the air using his arms and lands feet first onto Jamil's shoulders.
"Get off!" The dark-haired man demands, thrashing about in an enraged manner.
"Okay" Erol shrugs as he slides down Jamil's back by digging his katars in, said man crying out in pain.
"Little shit!" The dark-haired slave owner cries out as he tries to grab Erol, said green-haired boy flipping into the air with the help of a small gust of wind.
"Aerea Lamina!" The green-haired boy yells as a giant blade of wind flies at Jamil and Goltas, throwing the two backwards. "Come with me if you want to live!" He exclaims to the red-head as he takes her hand, helping her up as the two rush off.
"My chains..." The red-head says as she struggles to keep up with Erol, the green-haired boy sweeping her off of her feet and carrying her on his back.
"There we go! Easy fix!" Erol laughs as they run off.
"Who are you?!" The red-head squeaks slightly.
"I'm Erol Halabi! And I'm saving you!" The green-haired boy cheers "Who are you?"
"I-I'm Morgiana" The red-head squeaks slightly.
"Nice name" Erol smiles as he dips round a corner and grinds to a halt.
"Thanks" Morgiana blushes slightly as Erol puts her down and slashes her chains with his katars.
"No problem" The green-haired teen says then widens his eyes slightly "Hey, why are the barracks all different?"
"What barracks? This is a dungeon" The red-head deadpans.
"What's a dungeon?" Erol asks in a confused manner "And what was that Aerea Lamina thing?"
"Dungeons are buildings that appeared fourteen years ago and whatever you said must be some kind of magic spell" Morgiana shrugs.
"What about Popaicheii? Is it alright?!" The green-haired boy asks in a hurried manner.
"What's Popaicheii?" The red-head asks in a confused manner as they walk towards where the truth lies, the 'teeth of the dragon'.
"It's where I come from, Popaicheii is a great city of many riches" Erol explains as the two reach the spikes.
"Alright. Here we are, we need to get down there" Morgiana says whilst pointing to a large square hole in the ground surrounded by spikes.
"You're joking right?" The green-haired teen deadpans.
"Nope" The red-head shakes her head.
"Alright! Let's go!" Erol says as he lifts Morgiana and runs towards the hole.
"What are you doing?!" Morgiana exclaims loudly, banging her fists against him as he runs, the spikes rapidly rising.
"Taking you with me!" The green-haired teen yells as he leaps into the hole just in time.
"AAAA!" The red-headed girl screams as the two plummet through the air inside the hole, landing in a crumpled heap in the bottom.
"Ugh...that really hurts..." Erol grumbles.
"It must hurt" Morgiana grins at the green-haired boy, Erol having landed on his back while the red-head landed comfortably on his stomach.
"Can you get off please?" The green-haired boy asks politely.
"Okay" Morgiana smiles as she gets off.
"Jeez I think I cracked a rib or five" Erol groans as he slowly gets up.
"Are you okay?" The red-head asks.
"Yeah. I'll be fine" The green-haired boy coughs slightly as he begins to walk with Morgiana through the tunnel and out into the underground city.
The two walk through the streets of the underground city, in awe of it all.
"Woah" Erol gapes as they walk.
"So big~" Morgiana gasps.
"I know right?" The green-haired boy says in agreement as they walk straight through and up into the large central building, seeing a blue-haired boy and a blonde searching for treasure.
"I know those two!" The red-head exclaims in a hushed manner.
"Are they hostile?" Erol queries.
"I don't think so..." Morgiana says.
"Hey! You two!" The green-haired boy shouts over to the two whilst waving his arms above his head.
"Who is that Aladdin?" The blonde asks.
"I dunno but he seems nice enough. And look, Miss is with him" The blue-haired boy points over to the fact that Morgiana is standing with Erol.
"You can come over! We won't bite!" The blonde shouts over to them.
"Should we?" Erol asks Morgiana quietly, only to receive a shrug in response.
The two walk over to the blonde and the blue-haired boy, Erol smiling awkwardly. The green-haired and the red-head get close enough to the the two when the small boy initiates conversation.
"Hey miss, so who's this?" The blue-haired boy asks curiously.
"His name is Erol and he says he's from Popaicheii" Morgiana says which causes Alibaba to gasp.
"What is it?" Aladdin asks.
"That isn't possible" Is all the blonde can muster.
"How isn't it possible?" Erol asks with a nervous laugh.
"Because Popaicheii was destroyed 300 years ago"
