Chapter 2 - An Icy Adventure

You forget your life after awhile. The life you had before, things you cherish and hold dear, like pearls on a string. Cut the knot and they scattered across the floor, rolling in dark corners never to be found again. So you move on. And eventually forget what the pearls even look like. At least you try...

Sinbad successfully capture the dungeon. In response to the event, mysterious structures successively appeared in the four corners of the world. Since then, many people took on the challenge of capturing the dungeons. The world embarked on a period of Dungeon Capturers. So, what is Sinbad the Dungeon Capturer up to now?

"Brrrrrrrr."

He's frozen stiff like a mackerel...oy, what is a girl whose just came to this world to do?

*SPLASH!*

Sinbad suddenly became unfrozen and he and I look to see what was going on. Apparently something very large and very fast was coming right towards us!

Sinbad and I were about to brace for impact, when it suddenly dove

under the shop, and it was headed towards a small canoe which a large man with long blue hair, with a spear who was SHIRTLESS! THAT MAN'S AN IDIOT! WHO'D BE SHIRTLESS IN THIS WEATHER ITS FREEZING! Oh and the was a smaller girl with blue hair with him.

In a blink of an eye, the sea creature was under them. I'm guess that's it's a whale shark or something. Then suddenly, with its tails the creature threw the tiny canoe in the air, causing the two people inside to fall out and into the freezing ocean.

"Sinbad, we have to do something! Those people will drown, if they don't freeze to death first!" I said to Sinbad.

But before Sinbad could reply, the man stood up on a floating patch of ice and yelled. "I'LL CAPTURE IT!" Then suddenly the creature rose up out of the water, and it was nooooo whale shark. I had no idea what it was. It looked like a some sort of sea dragon with a coral like horn on its head. Oy vey...this never happened in my world...I want to go home...

The man leaped up into the air and threw his spear at the sea creature. Direct hit! The creature let out a painful cry! Theeeeen the spear fell off...and the sea creature was fine...the dumb spear didn't even leave a mark...ooooooh boy, we're in big trouble now. The man fell into the ocean again but he swam up to the surface fast this time. The sea dragon was now headed towards the unconscious girl floating adrift on the canoe.

"SINBAD WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING AND NOW!" I yelled.

"Heh, don't worry I got it cover." Sinbad gave me a thumbs up.

"...uh Sinbad, why are you shirtless?" I asked. But Sinbad didn't have time to answer. Our board was now headed towards the sea dragon who looked scarier up close.

Sinbad pulled out his sword. "I'm over her, you monster!" Sinbad pointed his sword at the sky. His sword was soon covered with lighting. "Baal! Lend me your powers!" Lighting was soon coming down from the sky and was being absorbed by Sinbad's sword. His sword was like a lighting Rod.

"Lighting Strike!" Then with a mighty slash the lighting from the sword struck the sea dragon and finished it off. It was fried baby.

"Few! Well that was fun." Sinbad said. "It's f-freezing Sa-Sapphire!"

I rested my head on my hand. "Well what do you expect, we're in the north and you're not wearing a shirt." *sigh* why do I have to go through this?

It was now sunset and we managed to get the big sea dragon on the shore. I put the girl down on a sheet with a blanket, the man was sharpening his spear I think. Sinbad walked over him. He finally had something to cover his top part with.

"Whoa, I'd say that's a big catch." Sinbad said.

"Sure is. It's called the Abare Narwhal. They're usually found in the southern seas, but once a year, they head northwards to spawn." The man replied.

Yep, now I know I'm not in my world. Because I pretty sure I would be able to recognized that thing.

"That's amazing." Sinbad replied. "You were trying to take them down with just one harpoon?"

The man became sad. And Sinbad was curious why.

"Brother, did you finally get one?"

Sinbad and the man's attention turned to the girl who was now awake.

"Well..."

"You did it!" She cheered as she climbed onto of the narwhal thing with ease. "I always believed you were more than a swimmer! Way to go, brother! Amazing. Darn, I wish I saw that." Then she jumped down. "But why is it burnt?"

Ah oh...

"Hey who are you two?" She pointed.

Sinbad took the young girl's hand. "Are you asking me? Call me Sinbad. A beautiful woman is beautiful anywhere in the world."

Oh boy, here we go.

"What?"

There was silent between us.

"Darn it." Sinbad muttered.

HA! looks like I'm not the only one immune to your charms Sinbad. Haha!

I smiled at the girl. "Hi I'm Sapphire. What's your name?"

"Hi Sapphire! I'm Pipirika."

"Nice to meet you. Um, can I call you Pippi?"I asked.

"Sure!"

I wanted to call her Pippi because I couldn't pronounce her full name. Sheesh, can't any of these people have normal names.

"Hey, I didn't catch your name yet." Sinbad said to the man.

"Yeah..."

The man seems really sad about something.

"It's Hina. His name's Hina." Pippi said. "At 21, my brother still has his childhood name. But since her caught a Abare narwhal, he'll finally be granted his warrior name."

"I see." Sinbad nodded.

"You'll finally be recognized by "the one," too."

"The one?" I asked.

"She's fierce and elegant. Even I admire her, as a woman. She's the most beautiful woman in Imuchakk." Pippi explained.

"Really!" Sinbad paid full attention. It doesn't take much.

It was getting dark so we made a fire and cooked some of the meat from the narwhal. I knew I couldn't eat it, whether it was a fish (which I doubted) or not. So I just said I wasn't hurry and passed. While everyone else chowed down.

"Tell me more about Imuchakk." Sinbad asked.

"Let's see. Well, it's pure white." Pippi replied.

"Right, but I'm more curious about its ruler. What kind of King is he?" Sinbad explained.

"Our father is the patriarch."

"Really. That's great. The can you take Sapphire and I with you." Sinbad asked.

"What?" Pippi said.

"Yeah what?" I said.

"Look, Sinbad, outsiders aren't welcome in our community. They'll give you and Sapphire dirty looks." Hina explained.

Sinbad stood up. "Doesn't bother me. It's an unfamiliar country with unfamiliar people. I want to see it all, so I can change the world."

Hina and I were at awe at what Sinbad had said. But now, it was time for us to sleep. I couldn't sleep so I left to go look at the ocean.

A stranger in an unfamiliar world with unfamiliar people. No one know how that feels better then me. I wish I could feel as confident as Sinbad. Sinbad doesn't know how it feels to be alone, away from your family and friends. Away from the people you love, away from everything familiar to you. Away, from you love ones...

Tears started streaming down my face, then I fell on my knees. I missed them. I missed my mother, my father, Katerina, Cassidy, Veronica, their husbands, everyone! I *sniff* I missed my family.

I looked up at the starry sky. I wonder if my family is looking at same starry sky?

It was now morning and Hina and Pippi took us to there tribe. It looked like the Northern water tribe in the tv show "the avatar the last Airbender." Not to mention it was freezing.

"Pure white land. Big, strong people. Strangely built houses and, of course, beautiful women." Sinbad said. "AH-CHOO!" He sneezed.

"Bless you." I said.

"Imuchakk is a land of snow and ice." Pippi explained.

"Welcome home. My children."

A larger, older man with a coral like spear and a scar on his face came forwards to us. Then I looked at the people behind him. Why are all the man shirtless and all the people barefoot in a frozen tundra? All these people are crazy...

"Father!" Pippi ran up to him.

"We have returned." Hina said to his father.

"Yes."

Sinbad walked up to Hina and Pippi's father.

"Who are you?" He asked.

"I'm Sinbad, and this is my traveling partner Sapphire." He pointed to me.

"Uh hi there." I felt really intimidated but Pippi's father.

"We venture to all parts of the world."

The chief pointed his coral spear at Sinbad. "This is Imuchakk. Outsides are not welcome."

"But, father..." Pippi whined.

"Sinbad is my-"

"Dear son, you're finally one of us, a warrior. You have to responsibility to protect our people and land for all enemies. Don't not forget that." Then their father turned around and walked away from us.

"Of course." Hina bowed.

"Tonight is the Maharagan! Prepare for the feast!" The chief announced.

The whole tribe cheered.

Hina and Pippi gave us some "appropriate" clothing for this type of weather. Then we went to Hina and Pippi's house, they at least welcomed us. But I still had an uneasy feeling about us being here. Sinbad and I sat with Hina, Pippi and their father.

"What's Maharagan?" Sinbad asked.

"It's a traditional festival of Imuchakk." Pippi replied.

"It celebrates those who've achieved the rite of passage, and it's also when their warrior name is give." Hina explained. "It's also a ritual of gratitude to appreciate the blessing of the harvest."

"Since you took him down, you're officially a warrior tomorrow." Pippi said to her brother.

"I should tell you about the strange happenings that occurred while you were away." The chief said to Hina.

"Strange happenings?"

"An unfamiliar structure suddenly appeared at the northern waterfall. I'm selecting warriors to go investigate. Hina, if you can join them-"

"No!"

Sinbad got the chief's attention. "I advise you to stay away from it."

"What?" The chief questioned.

"That's a dungeon. Back at our home in Parthevia, we lost dozens of our people who attempted to capture it." Sinbad explained.

"I've heard of that before. The troops who were sent were totally annihilated, except for one boy who succeeded in the capture." Hina said.

There was a long pause before Sinbad spoke. "That was me."

"You can't be serious. I don't tolerate those who talk irresponsibility." The chief grabbed a spear.

I hid behind Sinbad as he pulled his sword out of its sheath. Sinbad's sword glowed brightly, everyone stares in awe.

"Is that your emblem as a capturer?" The chief asked.

"Indeed." Sinbad put his sword back in its sheath. "The djinn from that dungeon lives in here."

The chief gave Sinbad and me a bowl of soup. "In Imuchakk, be bestow the greatest honor to the braves. I hope you can forgive me rudeness."

Sinbad and I excepted the bowls of soup gratefully. I was a little nervous of what was in it so I pretended to eat it. Sinbad smile and me. "Thank for hiding behind me." He whispered.

"I hate you..." I whispered back.

"Don't worry Sapphire. I will always protect you." He smirked.

Boy I really wish I could cut that lady killer flirt down. But...my mother raised me better. *sigh*

"It's natural to be vigilant of outsiders. Especially when you're the patriarch who's responsible for the whole clan. So I ask you. Don't let anyone do near the dungeon." Sinbad asked the chief.

"Understood. I trust your world." The chief replied.

"Brother, have you told her about the good news yet?" Pippi asked Hina.

"No, I..."

"Now that you're an adult, you can go to her-"

"Quit it. I can't do that now."

"Brother? What's going on?"

"It's about to commence!"

"Hurry!"

We heard some other tribesmen outside. I guess it was now time to party. We all went outside.

"Tonight is the Maharagan. Let us celebrate the birth of a warrior and the harvest of the sea."

Everyone was having fun. The music was great the food was even better. Thoooooough I didn't know really if the food was any good, since I didn't eat anything. I'm gonna starve...

But besides all that, I did dance around with the other women and children, I had a blast! And from the look on Sinbad's face, he was enjoying himself too. And he was getting drunk. That boy's way to young to drink. *sigh* what am I gonna do with this boy.

"Hey, wanna dance."

I turned around and saw Sinbad whose face was almost as red as an apple. Yep, he's drunk alright.

"Are you sure you can even stand?" I asked.

"Sure! I'm not that drunk!" Sinbad scowled.

"Haha, alright then. Let's see you dance sailor." I spun around in circles around Sinbad. He was really excited now. We both danced together the entire party. He wouldn't let me dance with no one else. And if I tried to dance with another man, Sinbad immediately pulled me away. He didn't even dance with the other girls, which really surprised me.

When the party was over, we went back to Pippi's and Hina's place. Everyone was already fast asleep. I woke up and went to get a drink of water. When I was headed back o the room with me drink, I heard Sinbad say something.

"You're beautiful. You're so perfect." Sinbad said in his sleep.

I giggled. Even in his dreams he still flirts with ladies hehe.

"You're perfect, I want you Sa-Sa-"

Sa-Sa? Who the heck is he dreaming about? Then suddenly someone fell from the ceiling and Sinbad turn around and kicked him in the stomach.

I blinked. Did Sinbad just do that on purpose?

"Please. Please dance with me again." Sinbad muttered.

Nope. He's still asleep. Oy vey.

Sinbad shot up and grabbed his sword. The person threw something at him, but Sinbad caught it. "A kid?"

"Darn."

"You'll be punished for your mischief!" Sinbad said. "You've just interrupted me from a wonderful dream."

"Sinbad!" I called out to him.

"Stay back Sapphire! It's to dangerous!" Sinbad ordered.

But that gave the kid an opportunity to attack. He wrapped another string weapon around Sinbad's legs. Sinbad fell to the ground and the kid assassin sat on top of him pointing a metal triangle at Sinbad's throat.

"Sinbad!" I called out again.

"NO SAPPHIRE! STAY BACK!" Sinbad yelled out.

I wanted to help. I NEEDED to help. Sinbad was about to die and I couldn't do anything to help him.

"That's all you've got?" The kid killer assassin said. "I knew I could take you down alone. What are you smiling about?"

Wait what? Sinbad was smiling? Why? Dang it I can't see anything practically. I was hiding outside of the door fame. I was watching all this from the hallway.

"Sucks for you." Then Sinbad's sword glowed bright and light came forth. It blinded me so I couldn't see what just happened. But when it cleared, I found the kid assassin was passed out.

"Sapphire are you alright?" Sinbad ran up to me.

"Yeah I'm fine. A little burn but nothing serious." I replied.

"Good I'm glad."

With all the commotion, Hina and Pippi came running and Sinbad told them what happened. They tied up the boy before he could wake up and attack is again. After several minutes the kid killer woke up and Sinbad,Pippi, and Hina were ready to interrogate him. And in the bright light, the kid killer looked like a mummy who didn't wrap his upped face.

"So...who the heck are you? Were you sent by Parthevia?" Sinbad questioned.

"You bastard." Hina sneered.

Language.

"I can't believe kids like you are becoming assassins now." Sinbad kneeled down to meet the boy's eye level.

The boy turned away.

"What's with the attitude? At such a young age, I don't know where you came from, but your parents would be disappointed."

"Shut up." The boy said.

"What's wrong with you? How can you speak like that to your elders?"

"Sinbad. You gotta be more strict with him. He's an assassin, after all." Hina explained.

"I know that. That's why I'm disciplining him on his speech." Sinbad said.

"What? But it's not about discipline." Hina countered.

You know, I've seen movie parts like this. When someone catches a killer or an assassin like this, the killer tied usually is cutting his ropes around his wrists. I wonder if that boy is going that now?

"These types require discipline in the basic of basics." Sinbad said to Hina. "Understood." He pointed to the boy. "That kind of attitude is what gets you into trouble, like assassination. Don't you feel like you're disgracing your parents?"

The boy's eyes narrowed. "I told you to shut up!" He yelled. "My parents are long gone! I murdered them when I was six!"

What! He murdered his parents when he was six! How does one his age even this about that! All I thought about at that age was playing outside! Yikes this kid is scary.

All Sinbad was just stare at the boy, all calm, cool, and collected. Sinbad didn't even move an inch.

"What? Scared of me now?" The boy yelled.

*SLAP* Silence. Sinbad had just slapped the boy right on the cheek. "Don't boast about that. Poor kid."

Sinbad stared at the boy. "How pitiful."

"Don't look at me like that." The boy muttered. "You're just a kid yourself, so shut up!" Then he got a sharp blade and cut Sinbad on the face. And his bids were cut off.

Yep I was right...

"Sinbad!"

"Take that!" A can exploded and there was fog all over the room. Sinbad ran over to me and cover me with his body.

"Don't come near me." We heard the boy say. "You don't understand."

Sinbad stood up and looked around. The boy was gone. We looked out the window and saw three figures vanish into the night.

"What did they come from?" Hina asked.

"Sinbad are you alright?" I asked him.

"It's nothing serious." He wiped the blood with his arms. "We gotta prepare for the ritual now."

"But wait, who were those guys?" Hina asked Sinbad.

"They must be from the Parthevia Army. They were sent to capture me." Sinbad explained.

"What! Why?" I asked.

"That means you're a wanted man!"

"I betrayed the country, and I did a lot of other things." Sinbad explained.

Now he tells me...

"Aren't you scared?" Hina asked. "You can never return home and you'll be targeted by assassins all your life."

"I decided to follow my destiny." Sinbad walked over to his sword and picks it up and shows it to us. I'll over come every obstacle that comes my way.

The look in his eyes is hard to explain. All I can say is that it's filled with fierce determination, but it strike fear in the hearts that look into them. I can't help but be in awe and fear at the same time as I look into those golden eyes of his.

"The sun's about to rise." We heard someone yell.

"Brother, it's almost time."

"Can I meet you there? I need a minute to calm down before I go."

"Alright. But make it quick, okay?" Then Pippi, Sinbad, and I walked off.

"See you later." Sinbad said.

I was cleaning up so this for the ritual when Pippi came running screaming my name.

"Sapphire! SAPPHIRE!"

"Pippi calm down what's wrong?" I asked.

"It's-It's my brother. He's-He's gone to the dungeon." Pippi cried.

"What?! Are you serious?"

"Here." Pippi handed my a letter.

I read the letter quickly. Hina had gone down to the dungeon in order to become a real warrior. Oh boy, this is not good, this is not good at all. "Ok Pippi stay here I'll go get Sinbad."

"Do you really think Sinbad can safe him?" Pippi asked.

"Pippi, if anyone can safe your brother, it's Sinbad." I told her. Then I ran off to get Sinbad before Hina gets himself hurt-or worse...

I found Sinbad warming up by a fire. "Sinbad! Sinbad!"

Sinbad immediately saw me and ran towards me. "Sapphire what wrong?"

I was having a déjà vu moment. "Sinbad please listen. Hina, he-he has gone to the dungeon in order for him to become a real warrior." I panted.

Sinbad's eyes widened with horror.

"Sinbad what's gonna happen to Hina in that dungeon?" I asked.

"The dungeon kill all, except those who are worthy to be a King's candidate." Sinbad pulled down his hood. "Tens of thousands of men lost their lives because of their ambitions."

"Then-Then...Hina...will..."

Sinbad walked passed me. "Don't worry, I won't let Hina die."

"But...what about you?" I walked as Sinbad continued walked. "There's no guarantee that you yourself will be able to come back alive Sinbad."

Sinbad stopped in his tracks. "I just know." Sinbad turned around half way and look at me dead in the eyes. "That I...won't die."

When I saw that look in his eyes, I was frightened. It was the saw look he gave me when he asked me to join him. That look he gave me, frightened me. Instead of the intense stare he gave the kid assassin, he gave me a empty glare, but it was a look that would stop anyone in their tracks. It made some one feel intimidated, and frightened. Just like it made me...

Sinbad turn around and continued headed towards the dungeon. My heart sank deeper as Sinbad walked farther and farther away. I couldn't help but worry about Hina and Sinbad, it was in my nature to worry about my friends. I went back to the chief's house, because worrying out here freezing wouldn't do much. I started a fire to keep me warm wish that I could help Sinbad bring Hina back.

"You know, you're worrying over nothing."

I turned around, but, no one was there. That's odd? I was so sure I heard someone?

"Sinbad is a very special person. He is destined for great things."

There it is again. But no one's there. What is this place haunted now? "Where-where are you?"

"Just look behind you."

I turned around and saw a small cat-like creature sitting on a chest. I got up and walked closer to it. It was about two feet long (including tail). It's entire body was covered in white fur. It has what appear to be four ears; two that resemble an average cat, pointed and up, while the other two appear as long tassel-like appendages that split into three sections at their tip. The tassels fade from white to pink and have three red dots horizontally before the splits. they also bear a pair of floating golden rings. It's face had two beady pink eyes with dark maroon irises and a tiny, omega-shaped "cat mouth".

On it's back was an egg-shaped red oval. It had four floating golden bracelets on each leg, and there was a long pink ribbon floating just below the head.

"Who-who are you?" I asked.

"I am Ryubebe."

"H-Hey, your mouth didn't move but-but I heard you speak." I stuttered.

"That's because I'm speaking to you telepathically. That is one of my abilities."

"Re-Really?"

"Yes."

"So, what do you want?"

"Well, you're worried about Sinbad and Hina correct?"

"Yes."

"Well, there's nothing to worry about. Sinbad is a ''miracle child" for he was born with great power, and he is destined to become King, and Hina is destined to help Sinbad achieve that. As are the four other people inside that dungeon."

"Wait a second. Who else is in there?"

"A commander from the Parthevia empire, who Sinbad named Drakon, and the three assassins who tried to kill him. Ja'far, Mahad, and Vittel. This four people, along with Hina will help Sinbad along with his dream to unite the world and become King. That is Sinbad's destiny, and that is theres."

"Wait so Sinbad enlists the help of the people who just tired to kill him."

"Correct. He also gains some more power allies in the future as well."

"Ok so if Sinbad is a "miracle child" because he was born with great power and his life is already planned out, then what's my role in all this?"

Ryubebe was silent for a moment. "Tell me Sapphire, do you remember the voice that called out to you in your world?"

"Yes I remember. It was a woman's voice, I think?"

"Correct. That voice was my master calling out to you. She needs your help."

"My help? Why?"

"My master doesn't know yet, all she knows is that a great evil is coming. So she enlisted the help of three girls from another world. One of them is you."

"Wait so there two other girls from my world here?"

"Yes. My master brought the three of you here at the same time. She planned to transport your three here together, but something went wrong and you three got scattered."

"I see..."

"You three were suppose to transported to my master but ended up in different regions. You weren't even suppose to meet anyone here in this world, for it might alter the balance of karmic destiny. But since you did, and you managed to meet and impact someone who has a very important role, we don't want to take you away for we don't know how it will affect things now."

"Ok, sooooo, what do you want me to do?"

"Well, your job now is to find the other two girls and make sure you three remain vigilant. Because we don't know what unseen forces lurk the beneath the surface."

"Ok."

"Tell me, do you still have that mirror necklace you found in your world?"

"Ye-Yes, I have it right here." I pulled it up from under my shirt. It was still around my neck.

"Ah yes, very good. My master will be pleased. Sapphire, this necklace is special. This is the key to your magical powers."

"Magical powers? What magical powers?"

"There back! The chief and his son are back!"

"They have returned! With all their lives spared and with so much treasure!"

I heard the tribesmen cheering that Sinbad and the others have returned. That was fast.

"Sapphire there's no time to explain. Apparently the time loop I created wasn't long enough."

"Huh what do you mean?"

"There's no time for that now. Please Sapphire, do not tell anyone about our encounter, and that you're from a different world." Ryubebe turned around but stopped to look at me before he left. "Remember Sapphire, you're job is to find the two other girls from your world. That is your mission, and be wary, there are still the unseen forced at work here. Do not forget." Then, Ryubebe vanished as quickly as he appeared.

The door flew opened and Pippi can charging in. "Sapphire! My brother and Sinbad are back!"

"Re-Really, oh I'm so relieved." I followed Pippi outside where Hina was being promoted to a warrior.

I found Sinbad staring happily at this. When he turned around to face me, his eyes lit up even more.

"I'm glad your alright Sinbad. You had me really worried." I said.

Sinbad smiled. "I told you I would be fine. But, thank you for worrying about me."

I saw Sinbad's face turn pinkish red. Wait? It's he blushing?

"As you are now a noble Imuchakk warrior, I grant you your symbol and your sacred name. Come forward, warrior."

We watched at Hina stepped forward to his father. His father handed Hina a coral spear.

"The fangs and horns of an Abare Narwhal prove your status as a warrior. The deep blue turban represents the clear stream of then ocean. That pattern is the shaped of an Imuchakk's soul. Warrior, your name is Hinahoho."

Everyone cheered!

"This new name means "as noble as the great ocean." Go forth faithful warrior." The chief finished.

"I will!"

And with that everyone celebrated! Sinbad introduced me to Ja'far, Mahad, and Vittel. I welcome them to our group with opened arms. Some of the other warriors were pouring drinks for Mahad and Vittel. While Sinbad gave Ja'far a drink, I think was a too young to drink that stuff. Some of the women offered me some but I said no. But these women don't take no for an answer, they chased me around the whole tribe trying to get me to drink. Buuuuuuut they failed.

The next day Sinbad, Hinahoho, and I went to Imuchakk's capital. And the chief was reeeeeeally scary looking. We three were joined by a beautiful, tall, robust young woman who had two long thick brains who was the chief's daughter. When we walked inside the throne room we four got on one knee and folded our hand and bowed before the chieftain. His big one eye really creeped me out. I felt really small compare to Hinahoho and the chief's daughter. And even she was barefoot.

"Chief Rametoto. I, the warrior Hinahoho, am grateful for your presence." Hinahoho stood up. "We're here to ask for your permission. Will you allow us, Hinahoho and Rurumu, to get married and leave the Imuchakk clan?"

"Answer this question, Warrior Hinahoho. What are you able to provide for my daughter? Money? Power? Status?" The man with the long, braided blue beard with the big eye asked. "My daughter has been cultured and trained to be a robust warrior. She has everything you can think of. So, what can you provide for a person like her?"

The room was silent as Hinahoho thought carefully on how he was going to answer the question.

"At the moment, I'm unable to provide her with anything." Hinahoho responded.

"Bastard! Who, in his right mind, would dare insult the chief?!" Then the chief grabbed his large coral spear and attacked Hinahoho, but, his spear when pasted Hinahoho's head. Nobody moved a muscle, not me, not Sinbad, not Rurumu, and not Hinahoho.

"I'm unable to provide her with anything in my current state. But we both can work together to make our dreams come true." Hinahoho looked and smiled at Sinbad. "That is my master's dream!"

Sinbad smiled in response. And due to this conversation, Sinbad officially formed a monopoly agreement with the Imuchakk. And we were off again with our new friends to lands unknown. To fulfill Sinbad's dream to become king and to untie the well set sail for this new land we were headed for next I heard Ryubebe's voice in my head.

"Remember Sapphire, you must find the other two girls and defeat this unknown enemy. That is the only way for you to return home. Your destiny is somehow tied to Sinbad's destiny. Try not to get to close to Sinbad and the others, because once your job here is done, you will return home, and never see them or this world again."
