Everyone looked on Maeve with surprise as she came to a stop in the middle of the wedding arch. First thing she did was check to see if her daughter really was safe. Everyone seemed to be really confused, looking at the real bride and then at Rumina. The wet, weepy sorceress unerstood at once; people did not know what to do. Sinbad as well.
He watched both women and felt helpless.

Rumina wanted to remove herself from the situation quickly.

She whispered to Sinbad, "It's a trap. It's Rumina!"

The captain did not know what to think about all of this. He glanced at his brother and Adien, who were still talking to himself, that he was not going to drink any strange liquids ever again. The seconds passed like hours since Maeve arrived.
Finally, Sinbad looked deeply into the real Maeve's eyes, and his doubts melted away.

He turned to Rumina, took a few steps back and answered, "No."

His real fiancé walked confindently up to him. She knew that he would know the truth. Caipra caught her arm while she was passing her and asked, "Is everything all right, my child?"

"No not yet! But I'm going to fix it right now!"

Mad, the sorceress turned to Rumina who was still compromising herself, trying to make Sinbad believe her. However, her game seemed to be unless and she ended it. The evil witch turned back to her true visage and made the guests even more confused.

Dim-Dim gave the little girl to Rongar and followed his wife and apprentice, who were walking in Rumina's direction.
Turok's daughter said jeering, to Maeve,"I told you, you cannot stop me. You are too weak!"

Angry Sinbad unsheath his shiny sword just like all Omar's guards.

"But I'm not!"

Master Dim-Dim told him, "Sinbad, no, Caipra and I can hold our own. Take Marina, she is really scared."

The frightened guests looked at one another; they were not sure how to act. Nobody dared make a move. Most of them knew Master Dim-Dim; his presence made them feel safer. Caipra gave an understanding look to Omar. She did not want him to panic.

Sinbad came closer to Marina, still holding his sword and he took his daughter in his arms. Now, the only thing left to do was make sure that his fiancé was safe, too.

Rumina, with ironic simile on her face, moved few steps closer Maeve. Caipra and Dim-Dim instinctively took flanking positions on both sides of the redhead.

The evil sorceress knew she would not be able to attain anything on her own. There were two powerful magicians and she was alone, her sister had left her. But, as usual, she wanted to leave with class.

She smiled ironically once again and said, "Soo… looks like it's time for me to leave… but don't worry, My Dears, I will be back as soon as I fix some ambiguity in my family."

Then she turned at both Sinbad and Maeve, "What can I say. I could wish you a long and happy life together, but it won't look like that, I will take care of it, promise."

With a wave of her hand, familiar to the crew, Rumina left in a whirwind of power.

Maeve turned around and ran to her love and daughter. The captain put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her closer to him. Now he held both his girls.

Omar felt responsible, like he had to say something to calm down everyone, "Dear guests, there is nothing to worry about now. Everything is under control and we can be sure that the witch won't come back. In this situation I think that the ceremony must be delayed…"

Maeve interrupted him, "No! I won't give her that satisfaction, we are going to continue!"

Sinbad nodded and kissed her forehead, "As you wish, My Sorceress."

They gave Marina back to Dim-Dim, for her protection. Dermott, who had just arrived after checking if there is no sign of Rumina or Bryn, settled down at the base of one of the chairs.

Caipra smiled warmly at Maeve. She made a quick move with her hand which dried and repaired the bride's dress and wreath. The old woman made another quick move and Maeve long, red hair was back to its previously elegant look.

Sinbad offered his hand to her.
They both smiled at each other and Maeve put her hand in his.
The couple proudly stepped up to Omar.

The man with the harp started to play; it was a gente and beautiful melody.

When Sinbad and Maeve took their positions under the wedding arch, the sultan took a deep breath and opened the ceremony, "Dear beloveds…"


The whole coastline was encircled by the red lights of a beautiful sunset. The sun, slowly, fell into the sea.
The gentle pink sunbeams lighted the couple under the arch.
They gave themselves their hands in love.
Omar put his hand on their joined ones and said to them,"Now, you are going to swear to each other, to love and be faithful till death do you part."

And he turned at the groom, "Sinbad."

Their hearts, in their chests, were pounding fast. The captain had never been so nervous.

He looked deeply into her eyes and starterd, " I, Captain Sinbad…"

At the same moment, Caipra and Dim-Dim, took their hands and smiled at each other; just like Turhan and Jail.

Adien also smiled at his wife.

They all thought back to their own weddings and marriage vows.

There was one more couple who did the same.

They stood in a corner behind the decorations.

Sakim grabbed Maea's hand and they smiled at each other, too, while their son continued,"…, take you Maevelynn, to be my wedded wife. To have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness or in health, to love and to cherish 'till death do us part."

Maeve could not hide her emotions. Tears came to her eyes but took a breath and started,

"I, Maevelynn, take you Captain Sinbad, to be my wedded husband. To have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, 'till death do us part."

Doubar couldn't stop the tears of happiness as they fell down his breaded cheeks.

Omar took his hand back and summed, "When the two hands are joined in the name of love, then that simple, human's, love becomes a power. As Omar of Basra, I bring in officially, you are now joined as husband and wife for the whole of eternity you will be as one."

He turned at Sinbad and said with smile,"You can kiss the bride."

Sinbad pulled his wife into a gente kiss and in the background the applause resounded.
