Chapter 7 - I Die
"This is Heliohapt?!" They all said.
"You know, Heliohapt looks an awful lot like Egypt." Jenna whispered to me.
"You know, I was thinking the exact same thing." I whispered back.
Indeed. Heliohapt did look an awful lot like Egypt. The clothes. The pyramids. The people. Everything. Even the heat...
Sinbad and Mystras were going gaga over the women. No surprise their. Haven't they learned their lesson. If them mess with women, trouble will always follow after. Before Sinbad and Mystras could go seduce them, Ja'far wrapped them up and dragged them back, and scolded the pants off of Sinbad and Mystras. All the commotion caught some people's attention.
"You know I always wanted to go to Egypt." Jenna smiled.
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"What's Egypt?"
"Is it some type of desert?"
"No. Egypt is a desert like country in our world. Everything is almost the same. I mean, Heliohapt is a lot like Ancient Egypt. The same clothes, the same people, the same tradition, the same culture, everything."
"Yeah, I remember I had to do a research project on Ancient Egypt." Jenna said.
"I went to Egypt once. I had to go there for an archaeological dig. I was roasted alive."
Jenna laughed. Sinbad called Jenna and I over and we all went on a tour of Heliohapt. We saw a building that looked the Sphinx, and the Royal palace was a pyramid built with other pyramids. The market place was incredible, it reminded me of the town we stopped at when we were on our archaeological dig. Being here remind me of all the fun I had with my friends. Since Jenna and I didn't have any weapons to defend ourselves, Sinbad and Mystras thought it would be best to get us something.
Mystras bought Jenna a lance and a short sword, and Sinbad bought me a beautiful silver dagger and a whip. The dagger had beautiful jewels on its hilt.
"Here. This is for you, so that when I'm not there you can project yourself until I arrive." Sinbad whispered seducively.
A blush covered my face, and Sinbad smirked. Jenna and I admired our weapons and hopefully they would help us.
While Jenna and I were walking around, we accidentally got separated from the rest of the group.
"Great just great!" I sighed. "We're lost!"
"Well things can't get any worse." Jenna added. Suddenly, Jenna's summoning bracelet started flashing.
Then, the scenery around us change. We were being transported to another world. The sky was dark multi-colors, black, gray, purple, red, all hideous colors. And the land was no better. Instead of a lush green grass, it was also dark multi-colors. Random objects were floating in the air. Rocks, chunks of land, pieces of buildings, this place was right out of a nightmare.
"...It just got worse." Jenna sighed.
"Great this is all we need..." I added
"Girls quickly! You must transform before Zadimus or some Predavexs attack!"
"Right!"
Jenna transformed into her Metal Elemental Transformation and I transformed into my snake summoner transformation, and we ready ourselves for an attack.
We had no idea what to expect from Zadimus this time. Who knew just how many Predavexs he would have this time.
"Well well well, what do we have here?"
Jenna and I looked around.
"That doesn't sound like Zadimus." I said.
Suddenly we heard footsteps behind us, getting closer and closer. Then a man came out of a fog and gave us an evil grin.
"He doesn't look like Zadimus." Jenna said.
Jenna was obviously right. This man wasn't Zadimus. He had shoulder length red hair, that parted down the middle and his bangs framing his face. He also had the dragon-birth mark of destruction on his forehead. He wore a beautiful white choker around his neck with a diamond at its center, as well as white fur-lined, and a white trench that billows in length behind him, and with an intricate interlace at the front with no undershirt. He looked about the same age as Zadimus, however old Zadimus was.
"So your the two girls that's been cause trouble for my friend Zadimus huh? You don't seem like much." The man smirked. "I wonder which one of you is the one that Zadimus has a crush on? I hope it's not the red-headed one, because she's really turns me on." He licks his lips.
"Sapphire. I just got really creepy feeling just now..." Jenna whispered.
"You and me both..." I replied quietly.
"So if your not Zadimus, but you know him. Then who are you?!" Jenna pointed her sword at him.
"Oh. How rude of me." He magically appear in front of Jenna and took her hand. "My name is Sceledrus. Sceledrus Cane." He kissed her hand.
"OH MY GOSH!" Jenna and I screamed.
"Alright then. LETS GET THIS PARTY STARTED!" Sceledrus raised his hand and a glowing sword appeared. Sceledrus sword was huge. The blade had a giant crystalline structure with a red hue covering the blade and a blue core while having formed a proper handguard again. It had a eye in the hand guard to. It was a horrifying blade.
"What kind of sword is that?!" Jenna asked in a frighting tone.
"You like it my dear angel. Heh, this sword is a special blade, designed especially for me. Its blade soaks in blood, and it remains a polished red. My sword has a reputation for devouring souls. Heh heh heh, my blade it as evil as me." He swung his sword and we felt a massive dark wave strike us.
With just one swing of that sword, our transformations were history. Jenna and I changed back to our normal selves, and our bodies were beaten and bruised. Then Sceledrus walked over to Jenna and lifted her face up.
"You're so cute my little angel. But it's too bad I have to destroy you. Buuuuuut, we can save your death for another time, I want to keep you alive, so that I can enjoy seeing you suffer. Heh heh heh heh AHAHAHAHAHA!" Sceledrus grabbed Jenn's face and kissed Jenna with great force and desire. "Aaaaah that was wonderful. I can't wait to get more." Sceledrus wickedly smirked, then he quickly vanished as quickly as he appeared.
The scenery changed back to normal and Jenna and I were back at the market. We heard Sceledrus voice.
"My precious little angel, I promise we'll meet again real soon. And I can't wait for that moment."
Then everything was quiet once again. Ryubebe and I looked at Jenna, now she was going through the what I went through with Zadimus. Except Sceledrus actually kissed Jenna on the lips. ON THE LIPS!
"Jenna? Jenna are you alright?"
"Oh I think she's in shock."
"Oooooh this is not good."
"What we do now?"
"Well hopefully she'll snap out of it soon."
"Yeah."
Jenna just stood there as still as a statue. Completely frozen in place. Not moving an inch.
(Several minutes pass)
Completely frozen in place. Not moving an inch.
(Several minutes pass)
Completely frozen in place. Not moving an inch.
(Several minutes pass)
Completely frozen in place. Not moving an inch.
"..."

"...JENNA WAKE UP!"
Jenna finally got out of her "daze" and came back to reality. "Huh? Wh-what happened?"
"You seriously forgot what you and I just went through?!" I said.
"No...No I didn't forget! What I want to know is what just happened?" Jenna asked. Her face became red, but it wasn't blush. "I can't believe he did that! That-that-THAT! That that!"
And with that, Jenna stormed away.
"Hey Jenna wait up!" I hollered, then I ran after her.
For about an hour and a half, Jenna was pacing back and forth, rabbling on and on about what has just happened to her. She was humiliated, mortified, embarrassed, the list goes on and on.
"Oh my!"
"What is it Ryubebe?"
"I'm sensing something mystical and powerful."
"Really?"
"Yes. We must hurry and find the others. Something tells me, their headed to that mystical place."
"Alright. Jenna come on! Something up, so we need to go and investigate!"
Jenna stopped immediately and we ran off to find Sinbad and the others. Ryubebe lead us to a massive pyramid, Sinbad and the others were there standing at the entrance. Jenna and I quickly joined them.
"There you girls are!" Sinbad scolded. "I was really worried about you!"
"Yeah! We thought something bad happened to you!" Mystras scolded.
"Waaaaaaaah!" Jenna started crying.
"No you did it!" I said. I patted Jenna on the back. "There there Jenna. It's ok. It's all over now."
"Huh? Who? Why?! What?! WHAT HAPPENED!" Mystras yelled. "WHY IS JENNA CRYING! WHAT HAPPENED!" Mystras ran over to comfort the crying Jenna.
"I-I-I" Jenna started.
"Yes you WHAT!" Mystras asked.
"I was nearly taken ad-ad-ad."
"Ad-ad-ad?"
"I was nearly taken advantage of! Waaaaaaah!" Jenna started crying again.
"WHAT?!" Sinbad and Mystras yelled in unison.
"Sapphire was is the meaning of this?!" Sinbad asked me.
"It's a long story." I replied.
Sinbad gave me a scary glare.
"...ok. Jenna and I got lost and...and some guy...kissed...Jenna...on...the...lips..." I smiled.
"WHAT?!" Sinbad and Mystras yelled in unison again.
"WHO?! WHO KISS JENNA?!" Mystras yelled.
"Well, we don't know who...exactly." I lied.
"HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?!"
"Well...it...just...did." I shrugged.
"I'LL KILL HIM!" Mystras yelled.
"Yeah I don't you can Mystras..." I muttered.
"*sniff* it's ok Mystras *sniff* I'm-I'm alright." Jenna smiled. "Come on! Don't we have a job to do!"
Jenna walked away from Mystras and headed towards the pyramid. I followed after her, Sinbad and the others followed us. Ja'far explain to us what it happened. Apparently the royal tomb turned into a dungeon, and the former pharaoh had two sons, and they were arguing about who would take the throne. The younger son wanted his older brother to have it, but the younger son was being controlled by his mother...the poor boy. Oh and also Serendine and her last servants are here and they're going us. And with that, we all entered the dungeon.
The dungeon was INCREDIBLE! Not to mention beautiful.
"This is amazing!" Mystras said.
"Yes. It's so beautiful and peaceful." Jenna added.
"Sapphire..."
"What is it Ryubebe?"
"I sense something..."
"Something?"
"Yes something ominous..."
"Ominous?"
"Yes...someone...is going to die in this dungeon..."
"What?"
"So ah...what do we do now?" Jenna asked.
"Simple." Sinbad transformed into his Baal Djinn Equip. "I'll break through right into the treasury."
Sinbad raised his sword. "Sapphire, stand back, I don't want you getting hurt."
"Huh?"
"You're not use to the dangers of a dungeon. So, naturally, I'll protect you." Sinbad leaned down and whispered seducively in my ear. "Just stay right by my side, and nothing bad will happen to you. I promise."
I gulped. Then Sinbad was about to blast the door. But before he could blast the door down, we were transported somewhere else. And we landed hard on the floor.
"Ouch. That hurt." I said.
"Sapphire are you alright?" Sinbad asked.
"I'm fine...I think? Ow..."
"This is the treasury. I'm rather attached to this dungeon, and I'd prefer if you don't destroy it, so I transported you here."
We all looked up.
"I am the Djinn of this dungeon. I am the Djinn of spirit and puppetry...Zepar. Welcome humans." He smiled.
This Zepar Djinn had the appearance of an imp, with a potbelly, horns sprouting out of his head and bat wings on his back. He also appeared to have a mischievous smile on his face.
"Hmmm...you...you're unusual. You've two Djinns with you...just like that King..." Zepar pointed to Sinbad. "But instead of that King, you're more like...no, nevermind."
Then he pointed to me and Jenna. "And you two, remind me of two other girls I knew once upon a time ago. And I feel a special magical presence emanating from your pets."
"This is baaaaad...we can't allow this Djinn to find out about us..."
"What do we do?"
"Well we don't panick..."
"Well, Sinbad, you possess a rare and very powerful type of magic power. As you already possess two types of Djinns, you are undoubtedly the King Vessel however...it's not your strength, but the strength of your allies that I'll be testing. As a King, just how well will your allies obey you...? THAT WILL BE MY TRIAL FOR YOU."
He's not testing...Sinbad, but us?! That is Zepar's trial!
"Okay...Sinbad...if all of your followers pass my test, then I will grant you the power of a King." Zepar explained. "However, if even one person fails, you will fail the whole trail...and this will be the end of all of you."
"Hey, wait a minute. So, the requirement is just the everyone has to pass the test, right?" Sinbad started. "What's there to worry about then? It's not difficult. I believe in the strength of each and everyone of you. You all made it this far my fighting together...because you are my friends and allies!" Sinbad smiled at all of us.
"Well, let's get started then." A puller rose up from the floor. "I'll be testing that strength of yours. I'll have your fellow allies fight each other here. That will make it easy to measure your strength."
"Jenna this reminds me of a fighting video game, like Tekken or Soul Caliber." I whispered.
"I know. I know." Jenna replied quietly. "But this is a real match, if we get paired up with on of the boys, we're screwed!"
"I pick you two!" Zepar said.
"Huh?!"
Zepar chose Hinahoho and Mystras for the first *gulp* victims...
"Strength is necessary in order to protect your King. With similar weapons like the harpoon and the lance...you seem well suited to face each other." Zepar explained. "A warrior and a knight. Which one of you can be called the King's sword...? It would be beneficial to decided which one of you wields the strongest spear."
"Ummmm...excuse me. May I say something?" Jenna started. "It's this a little dangerous? I mean, Hinahoho is from the nation of Imuchakk, a race that had superhuman strength and unnaturally resilient bodies. In comparison, even though Mystras is a knight, he'd only a normal human being. From my point of view, that's seems kind of unfair."
"Don't worry Jenna!" Mystras put his hand on her shoulder. "I don't worry about this. It's true that I'm not from some special race of people, and I do t have a household vessel like Ja'far. But...I am a knight of Sasan. No matter who my opponent is, I have no intention of losing."
"Mystras..."
"If that how you feel, I can agree with that." Hinahoho walked over to Mystras.
"Hinahoho?"
"Let's figure out which one of us, wields the strongest spear." Hinahoho said.
"Great...I just got them all fired up..." Jenna sighed.
"I hope this ends well..." I added.
"The match will continue until one of you is defeated. Now if you're both prepared...LET'S BEGIN!"
Mystras and Hinahoho got on the pillar getting ready to fight.
"Mystras!" Jenna called out.
Mystras looked at Jenna.
"Don't you dare die on me!" Jenna called out.
Mystras smiled at Jenna. "I have no intention of losing OR dieing!"
And with that their fight began! And what a fight it was. It was a serious one-on-one match that would continue until one of them was defeated. It was literally like Tekken or Soul Caliber. Hinahoho an Mystras were giving this fight all they had. They were clashing and crashing over and over again. And Jenna was holding my arm tightly, and leaving fingernail marks on my arms.
"Sapphire...I'm so scared..." Jenna said.
"I can tell. The fingernail marks on my arms prove it..." I peeped.
"Oh!" She let go. "I'm so sorry."
"It's ok. I'm just glad I got the blood flowing in my arm again." I laughed.
"This is an interesting fight. It's an overwhelming number of attack a from a knight with unmatched accuracy vs. a few devastating attacks from a warrior whose best weapon is he resilience."
"It's a good match. Mystras has practiced hard and gained a lot of experience for his age. This match maybe a prolonged one."
"Oh dear...oh dear oh dear oh dear oh dear!" Jenna grabbed my arm again.
"Ow! Jenna...my...arm." I patted.
The battle between the two men was getting more fiercer by the second! It looked like both of them were going to collapse any second now.
"Mystras please be careful!" Jenna cried out. "Please! I don't want to lose you!" She covered her mouth immediately.
Jenna and I saw Mystras smiled. He heard what Jenna had said.
"Jenna! Do you realize what you just said!" I asked.
Jenna's face was as red as her hair. She covered her mouth and nodded. She was just humiliated...again.
At that moment both Mystras and Hinahoho's spears started glowing.
"Huh?!"
"HOUSEHOLD VESSEL BARARAQ HARBA!"
"HOUSEHOLD VESSEL GALFOR ROROMUS!"
Suddenly their was a massive explosion. Dust and debris was everywhere. Sinbad protected me from the debris that was headed towards us. Ja'far protected Jenna. When the dust clear, both Mystras and Hinahoho were out like lights!
"Mystras!" Jenna cried. She immediately ran towards Mystras. She put his head in her lap and gently rubbed his head.
"They're alive, don't worry. They just completely exhausted their energy. The power of their household vessel were on the same level, so the attacks cancelled each other other. They were able to get this far by drawing out each other's power. Well...that means they both pass. Buuuuuut, you know, that ending was pretty lame. A fight is supposed to be something a bit more desperate, a bit more of a life and death situation...at least that's what I want to see."
"Huh?" I said.
"Let's make it a bit more serious next time...Masrur and Sapphire!" Zepar said.
"What!" I screamed.
"But this isn't going to be a simple contest of strength. It'll be a fight to the death. You two will be fighting until one of you manages to kill the other."
"Oooooooh boy...I...am so...dead..." I said. "So very, very dead..."
"What the hell..." Sinbad said. "Sapphire and Masrur...will fight to the death?!"
"Sinbad. Language." I scolded. "Please mr. Zepar, please pick someone else to fight Masrur. I'm not match for him, I'm not even a fighter."
"Listen. If I tell you to fight, you fight. If I tell you to kill each other, you kill each other. In a dungeon the rules of the Djinn are absolute. No exceptions. Now. Fight." Zepar demanded.
Masrur suddenly drew out his sword and attacked Zepar.
"...I'm not a slave anymore...no one can order me to fight to the death ever again." Masrur said.
Zepar healed him. "It's pointless to attack me. In a dungeon, a Djinn is invincible. So it's pointless to attack me. But. Since you're against following my orders...then I'll have to do this."
Zepar struck Masrur with a beam, then Zepar went to sleep. But! Masrur pick up his sword and aimed it at me. He jumped up and bounced all over the place.
"Wow! The power is amazing! It's just Ike the power of the ancient red lions. It far surpasses normal human limits."
Masrur was suddenly right behind me.
"Now we can make this an interesting death match. How about it Sapphire?"
Then he started jumping all over the place again. He was jumpyer the a Jack rabbit. He then jumped up and came crashing down.
"It's a little difficult to adjust to this much power."
"Carful Sapphire. This is not Masrur..."
"Yeah...I know...and I have a strong feeling of who it might be..."
"You're right. He's not the Djinn of Spirit and Puppetry for nothing."
"What do I do?"
"How about, try not to get kill."
Brilliant..."So you took control of Masrur body, Zepar."
"Heh...bingo. I have the ability to meddle with people's minds. I fiddled with the kid's brain a bit. His consciousness is asleep and I'm in control of his body now."
"Oh boy..." I muttered.
"This way, we can fight without any interest. Now, let's get started with our fight to the death."
"SAPPHIRE NO!" Sinbad yelled. He was about to rush to me but Zepar stop him.
"Sorry Sinbad, I have to test her. Especially her." Zepar said. "I've seen the way you looked at her Sinbad, I can sense that she's very special to you. She is someone who you must trust. And greatly, if I might add. So, she is someone who I definitely have to test." Zepar smiled.
"Grrrrrr...ZEPAR IF YOU HURT HER I SWEAR I'LL-"
"Sinbad this is a fight to the death. It's either me or her." Zepar smirked.
"ZEPAR!" Sinbad was about to rush down and attack but I couldn't let him do that.
"Sinbad!" I said. Sinbad stopped right in his tracks. "Sinbad please understand. Zepar is right, you have to trust. Don't worry." I smiled at Sinbad. "I'll be alright."
Sinbad gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. "SAPPHIRE! IF YOU DIE! I'LL KILL YOU!"
Heh...Sinbad I think Masrur will beat you to that. "Alright. I'm ready Zepar."
I got my whip and I tried to wrapped the whip around him, but he vanished to quickly. He jumped over me and I got hit by the shock wave. The shock wave cut my skin multiple times, and my blood was just pouring out. I screamed out in agony.
"SAPPHIRE!" Sinbad yelled.
Never in all my life had I felt such pain. My body was just screaming in agony.
"Sapphire...you can't last much longer. I can sense that-"
"I'm already dying...yeah, I know."
"But how, I understand that these attacks could kill someone, but your body is dying to quickly."
"Ryubebe...I have a confession to make. I'm not as strong as other people. What I mean is, I have a disease that makes myself physically weaker then a normal person. My heart is very weak, and my blood isn't as thick as it should be, and my immune system isn't as strong as a normal person..."
"So what you're saying is..."
"That I'm the one that's going to die in this dungeon..."
"But you promised Sinbad-"
"I promised his I would be alright, I never promised him I wouldn't die..."
"Sapphire..."
"Don't worry Ryubebe...like you said. Sinbad is a child with great power, someone who is loved by destiny. Someone...who won't lose. So I'm not need...I'm nothing...but a waste of air...I've always have been..."
"No Sapphire! Please don't think like that!"
"I'm sorry Ryubebe...truly I am..."
Zepar jumped around me left and right, constantly causing shockwaves to scratch my skin, making my blood bleed out faster. I could feel my body slowly go numb. I know I wasn't going to last much longer...
"You've already reach your limit! Man that's a bore...it hasn't even been that long at all. You're so weak." Zepar complained. "Alright...I guess it's time for you to die."
Zepar came at me with another attack. I used my whip and I was about to wrapped it around him. Hoping and praying I would...
"SAPPHIRE!" I heard Sinbad yell.
With all my strength I pulled in my whip, and, I finally got him. I finally caught him.
"I finally caught you..."
"Heh, yes you caught me. Well done. But this whip and you are not a household vessel. So...I can easy break it..." He smiled.
"Heh, well then, I guess I have to knock you out before you do..." I grabbed the hilt of my whip. "Schadenfreude!"
My whip, and Zepar in Masrur's body were consumed by fire. And some of my wounds were being heal. My Schadenfreude ability, is an attack that consumes my enemies with fire, and also healing it's user.
I released Masrur, and put my whip back. Then I ran over to him to see if he was ok. Masrur was unconscious, but still alive. I didn't use to much energy since I didn't want to kill him.
"...oww..."
"Masrur! You're awake thank God!"
"Heh, you surprised me...I thought you didn't have any powers at all. And because of that, you got me." Zepar was still inside Masrur's body. "Okay Sapphire, once this match is decided, I'll leave this body."
"...Zepar...wasn't it just decided..." I muttered.
"No...remember, this fight isn't over, until one of us is dead." He got my dagger and pointed it at his chest. "Now be a good little girl. And kill him. If you kill him, you win. If you die, you pass. That is your trail, Sapphire Vale."
There's no way around this...he's won...there's no way around this...I can't find a solution that will save us both...both me and Masrur...
...wait...maybe there is...Zepar...this fight to the death lasts until one of us dies...right? If that's the case, then it doesn't matter which one of us dies...does it?"
"Correct Sapphire." Zepar smiled.
"Then I know what I must do..." I looked at Sinbad. Our eyes met, his honey gold eyes met my sapphire blue eyes. I closed my eyes and smiled at Sinbad. I opened them slowly. "Goodbye Sinbad...Farewell."
I raised my silver dagger with beautiful jewels on the hilt up to my chest. I looked up at the ceiling and closed my eyes slowly.
"No Sapphire! Please don't do it!"
"Goodbye Ryubebe...I'm proud to call you my fairy guardian..."
"Sapphire! NO!"
"Tell Jenna, I'm glad I met her and Sieglolo..." With the leftover strength I had, I stabbed myself in the chest.
My body collapsed and blood poured out of my body, like a river that had be free...I watched my blood flow out of my body, but, my vision started to fade, and my eyelids, slowly began to close...before my eye sapphire blue eyes closed forever...I looked at Sinbad one...last...time...
He was shocked for a moment, but is quickly passed, to be replaced with a face of pure rage and hatred. For a moment, I thought his beautiful golden eyes turned blood red. Maybe it was just my blood clouding my vision...maybe.
In a flash, all the strength I had left, vanished...my eyelids closed...and I was left in complete darkness. But before I passed away...I heard one last thing before I died...
"SAPPHIRE!"
I heard Sinbad yell out my name. Heh...I never knew my name could sound scary...
And with that...I took my last breath...
(Unknown Location)
I suddenly found myself in a room, by the look of the place, it was a living room in a house. A very familiar room...with very familiar furniture...I looked at myself in the mirror. I was wearing bell-bottom black pants with a black long sleeve contrast trim blouse.
What in the world?
I turned around and saw someone very familiar walking towards me. Someone who's been dead for ten years now...
"Hello Sapphire. It's wonderful to see you again." The woman hugged me.
"Mommy?"
The attractive middle age woman, with long flowing blonde hair, with beautiful sea blue eyes, smiled and nodded.
"It's wonderful to see you again my baby." My mom said.
"Mommy, I'm 25 years old. I'm not a baby anymore..."
I walked around my old living room. The same living room I walking around when I was a child. This was the house I grew up in. The house was exactly as I remembered it.
"So, since I'm having a conversation with my dead mommy. I take it I'm dead to right?" I asked her.
My mom sat down on her favorite chair, and got a book to read.
"...aren't you going to answer my question mommy?"
She flipped a page. "I think you already know the answer that baby."
"Ok then, so I take it I'm in heaven then?"
My mom flipped another page of her book.
"Are you going to answer any of my questions?"
She closed the book, then set it down. "Baby, let's go for a walk."
"Huh?"
My mom opened the front door, and we both walked out. The front yard was exactly the same. The pond there, along with the small white wooden pavilion, with the swing inside.
"Come, let's sit down." My mom walked over to the swing and say down. I joined her.
"So, how have you been? Are you eating enough?" My mom asked.
"I'm doing fine. Everything was going great until I got transport to another world." I answered.
"Really? What's so bad about that?"
"Well...things are different in that world. For one thing magic exists, and they have these things called Djinns and other magical things. It's all so very confusing to understand."
"Then don't understand."
"Huh?"
"Sometimes you have to not think, sometimes to have to feel your way in order for things to make sense."
"I honestly don't know what to do mommy."
"Tell me, what does your hand feel like?"
"What do you mean?"
"What does you hand feel like?"
I looked at my hand. It did feel different. "My hand. It feels...tight...like-"
"Someone was holding it tightly, refusing to let go."
"Yes...who-"
"Sinbad..."
"Sinbad?!"
"Yes baby. Sinbad is holding your hand now. He may not have gotten Zepar as one of his Djinns, well not yet anyway."
"What do you mean?"
"Sapphire listen to me. In the world your in, Sinbad is destined for great things, MANY great things. And whether you like it or not, you are apart of his destiny, here in this world."
"But mommy, we don't believe in destiny. You always taught me it doesn't exist. That we're not guided by some fate told destiny. We choose our on paths and ours futures. That's what you taught me, and that's what I believe."
"But those rules don't apply here baby. I came here to tell you this. In your future, you will fight a great evil. But that's not all you'll face."
"..."
"You will fight Sinbad one day, but it is your choice if he becomes your enemy or not. But be warned Sapphire my baby, Sinbad is someone who you do not want for an enemy."
"...I have been told that many times...is it true?"
My mother nodded. "Baby, there will be many challenges you will face in the future. But now this, trust your head, not your heart. People say always trust your heart, but, one's own heart is the most deceitful thing."
"Oh mommy!" I hugged her and started crying.
"Your time hasn't come yet baby. You still have your whole life ahead of you. Don't give up yet. Your journey hasn't even started yet."
"What do you mean?"
"This is Sinbad's journey. Yours, you still have away a to go. But don't worry, you'll get there."
My mom got up and walked over to the house. She opened the door, the entranced glowed white. "The three summoners time will come Sapphire. The battles that will lead to the Great Fight, and the Great Fight itself, will be difficult. But there are other dangers, please, be wary my child. Sinbad is someone who you do not want for an enemy. Remember that..."
"...goodbye mommy."
"Goodbye ba-Sapphire."
*sigh* "I will always be your baby." I smiled.
My mom smiled back then she vanished into the glow. I look around at my home once more, then I looked at my hand. I could still feel Sinbad holding my hand tightly. The world around me started to fade, I could tell that Jenna was healing me. It was the only logical explanation. The more this world faded away, I louder I could here Sinbad and the others called out to me. Sinbad was the loudest.
"I'm going to be deaf when I wake up...oh boy."
I heard my mother's laugher off in the distance.
Goodbye mommy...I love you.
.x.X.x.
"Sapphire. Sapphire! SAPPHIRE!"
"Sin-Sinbad..."
"Sapphire! Your awake! Better yet, your alive!" Sinbad picked me up bridal style and held me closer to his chest. "I was so scary that I was going to lose you..."
"Sinbad..." I put my hand on his face. "Thank you...for not letting go."
He was still holding my hand tightly. Still refusing to let go.
"Sapphire." He smiled. "I will never let you go."
He held me in a tight embrace. Refusing to let go of my body. He held me like that for what seems like forever.
"Sinbad, where are we?" I asked.
"Shhh. You need to rest. You took quite a beating. But, I'll answer your question. We're in a Torran Village in the Dark Continent, a lot has happened while you were out. Jenna immediately healed your body, but for some reason you didn't wake up. Zepar is now Serendine's Djinn and Prince Sharrkan of Heliohapt has joins us, and Heliohapt has joined the Seven Seas Alliance. Mystras, Jenna, Hinahoho, Serendine and her lady friends and Drakon had stayed behind. While Ja'far, Sharrkan, Masrur, you and I had went to the Torran Village to find more of the Fanalis."
"...how long was I out?" I asked.
"Quite awhile, I was afraid we were going to lose you. But-" Sinbad put his arm around the back of my waist. "But a least that didn't happen. And you owe me an apology."
"I do?"
"Yes. You promised me that I could trust you. That you would be alright. But you weren't, you died and Zepar nearly killed you." Sinbad glared at me. "So, you owe me an apology..."
"..."
"I'm waiting..." He glared.
"...I'm sorry Sinbad." I apologized.
"Apology excepted. Now if you excuse me, I need to check up on a few things. Stay here and rest." Then Sinbad exited the tent.
"You also gave me quite a fright too Sapphire."
I turned around. "Ryubebe..."
"I'm your fairy guardian Sapphire, I'm suppose to protect you."
"I'm sorry Ryubebe." I picked him up and scratched his head. "Can you forgive me?"
"...Sure. But please be careful next time."
"I'll try Ryubebe. Ha ha. I'll try."
The words my mother said echoed in my ears once more. "Sinbad is someone who you do not want for an enemy."
I was starting to realize what my mother and Ryubebe were trying to tell me. They both were right, I don't want Sinbad for am enemy. Sinbad will change this world, and for the better, THAT I know. There will be many obstacles in his way, but he will overcome everyone of them. Sinbad's destiny was not only to become King, but also to change this world for the better. This world is changing at a pace never before seen. And in the future, people will follow him, countries will be untied by him. No, the world will be untied by him. Sinbad will change this world, now and forever.
But why do I get the feeling, that Jenna and I-no, the three summoners are making a bigger impact on this world then Sinbad? No, not just this world, but this world's destiny itself!Just us being here is drastically changing the karmic flow of destiny of this world! How much are we changing? And, how will it effect us in the future?
P.S. You all didn't think that I wouldn't let Jenna have any fun! Haha! Now Jenna has Sceledrus Cane to worry about! Haha! Well then GOODBYE AND GOODNIGHT!
