I don't own Magi or Marika Thompson's OC's! Thank all of you for the reviews!
So I actually had written this and posted it last week but I realized that I didn't like how short it was like the others and I realized that this chapter could've been better so I deleted it and rewrote it. sorry about the wait!

Ja'far held the pocket watch in her hands a soothing melody resounding from within. Her lips parted;
A bird rests in its cage
Time passing by in a never ending
spell
The clock strikes three
And it's time to dance
It rises from the ground flying
higher
and
higher
The clock chimes seven
It's the time of the shadows
They bind and wrap piercing through
Gentle wings
Blood flows out in waves
feeding the dark roses
She fights no more and looks out
towards the fading light
Once before she might've tried
Chasing after that light
But now her wings are broken
Unable to fly
Time passes by and no longer does
She care
The clock rings twelve
The Moon comes out to shine
The shadows bask in its light
The bird shivers in its bitterness
She waits for the sun to rise
But then she remembers the words
that the shadow told her
"The Sun is dead and now we can
live here for eternity, so cry yourself
to sleep little bird. You'll never see
that Sun again."
And even so as night has remained
ruling
The little bird remains believing that
The Sun will come back one day
again

Ja'far sat above the group of people listening to the question Li-Fuan about what happened to them and where she and Kikiriku were. Her eyes remained closed but she was listening.
"So then my daggers lit up with the same kind of light Sinbad's sword does when he uses Baal!" She pulled out one of her daggers and lit it up proving her statement true. Her companions stared at them in astonishment.
Ja'far though was more curious about the djinn Baal though. The name sounded oddly familiar...
Ja'far racked her brain for any person she knew of with the name Baal but found that she couldn't. Unfortunately during this time it meant she wasn't listening to the conversation down below so she didn't hear the entire question asked far below by the others.
"-whole months?"
She tilted her head an apology on her lips when Li-Fuan suddenly stood up and screamed, "TWO WHOLE MONTHS?!" The apology died on her lips. She knew what she was asked now. She shifted away from Li-Fuan sensing anger from her.
Li-Fuan crept over towards her while Ja'far internally panicked. How would she explain the situation to Li-Fuan without drawing that creature's attention back to her...? She began to back away slowly.
'B-dump!' 'B-dump!' 'B-dump!' Went her beating heart. Ja'far outwardly panicked. It was too soon. These moments never happened this quickly.
So why? She could feel bile rising up her burning throat and she bit her lip to keep from doing so. She breathed in slowly her vision darkening in a sense. Why was this moment happening earlier than the others. What made this different then the rest of the other moments?
Other than the fact that Li-Fuan was a metal vessel user...
metal vessel...Why did that term sound familiar?
Time began altering around her and she could feel the pull of the clock tower calling out to her. Her eyes changed from dark onyx black mixed with emerald green to gray viper like eyes. She didn't hear the shouts from below calling out to her or the pounding foot steps of people coming on board deck. All she could hear was the chiming of the clock tower, the ticking sound of the pocket watch, and the hollow whisper of someone singing. She closed her eyes and allowed the music to lead her.

"Ja'far!" Li-Fuan called out to the younger girl watching as she began to glow a soft turquoise and lavender before she began walking away looking almost as if she was dancing to an unheard melody. Yeah she was abit angry about being lied to about how much time had passed, but she still cared for the little kid.
She chased after Sinbad and the others following close behind. Ja'far glided into the clock tower vanishing from view. They all ran after her not noticing the wall behind them vanishing.

Ja'far opened her eyes finding herself floating in the darkness her turquoise dress replaced with a white sleeveless collar neck dress with a jaded green sash wrapping around her shoulders. Her pocket watch hanging around her neck.
"...It's quite..."
"Indeed it is Lady Ja'far."
"Do you think she's angry?"
"No doubt she is. You know she doesn't deal well with being chained up."
"I suppose. I'd prefer that over this though..."
"...In a way I do Suppose she did indeed get lucky."
Ja'far stared up or at least what she thought was up. She had no way of knowing what was 'up' and what was 'down' in this endless space of nothing.
"Why?"
"Why what, Lady Ja'far?"
Her eyes narrowed a dark shadow creeping from the depths of her viper like eyes, "Why are we forced to live like this? To remain here like a caged bird?"

Sinbad scratched his head. He looked around the room once more before closing the door shut. He turned back to look at Li-Fuan who current appeared to be having a nuclear meltdown.
She screamed out in frustration. "Why is so hard to find everyone!? I swear this ship wasn't as large during the time I spent here!"
Vittel tried calming her down meanwhile the rest searched through the rooms looking for Ja'far.

Nalddias sat on the ledge of the tower his dark blue hood waving in the wind while the cape fluttered silently. He was dressed in a blue hooded cape with black trousers and a loose fitted shirt. He held his staff in one hand while his other rested at his side.
He wore a seemingly saddened expression the light of the moon making him appear to be glowing. Besides him was his dear friend.
'Is it starting finally?'
He pursed his lips eyes flashing red before saying, "Yeah...The broken wheel has started turning...just like how she said it had..."
