The people of Balbadd are hard at work rebuilding their damaged city. It has been a day now since the brief civil war that broke out, but thanks to the efforts of Alibaba Saluja, the country is now on the path to changing into a republic. Everyone was working together to bring life back to their home.

Zaynab and Hassan worked to collect the rubble and rebuild damaged houses, and Morgiana was busy handing out food to hungry and injured citizens.

"It's hot, so be careful, okay?" Morgiana asked as she handed a boy with an eye patch a bowl of stew.

"Thank you, miss!" the boy said before he went to go eat.

Meanwhile, in the palace, Alibaba was holding a meeting with Aladdin, Shahra, and Balkirk standing besides him. On his left ear…are two familiar red earrings.

"Okay, first thing's first," Alibaba spoke. "We'll need to establish an interim government and choose its members. Then, we'll have a citizen-wide election."

In another room, Sinbad is seen, writing on some paperwork while Ja'Far poured him some tea.

"Prince Alibaba certainly is giving it his all, isn't he?" Ja'Far asked.

"By throwing himself into his work," Sinbad began, "he's probably trying to get over the loss of his dead friend."

XXX

"First and foremost," Alibaba began, "our top priority is to inform the people how a republic works."

Everyone in the room nodded their heads in agreement.

Meanwhile, Alozza is at one of the local taverns with Masrur, drinking a cup of wine.

"Shouldn't you be helping the town?" asked Masrur.

"Hey, it's called a celebratory drink," Alozza rebuked. "Besides, this is the first drink I've had in days. I've been about 2-and-a-half weeks sober. That's pretty good to me, don't you think?"

Masrur just stood beside her, staring blankly.

"Jeez, you really are a stiff, huh?" Alozza asked as she prepared to take a sip of her wine, but as she looked out the windows, she spotted a small fleet of ships…and all of them had the Kou Empire insignia on them.

Shocked, Alozza spat out her drink…right on Masrur's face.

"HOLY SOLOMON!" Alozza cried.

XXX

Back at the palace, Alibaba, Aladdin, and Shahra stood on the balcony, gazing at the sky.

"Looks like this country's on the right path to being reborn, huh, Alibaba?" Aladdin asked, sitting on the railing.

"You can say that again," Alibaba concurred. "We've got a long road ahead of us, little buddy…but I know we'll make the Balbadd Republic a reality. Of course, you do realize I might have to put our promise on hold, again, right?"

"I'm willing to wait," Aladdin answered…but then flinched as he put his hands over his tummy. "Ow!"

"What's the matter?" Alibaba asked.

"It's nothing," Aladdin said. "It's just a little stomachache. It doesn't hurt too bad."

"Alibaba!"

Alibaba and Aladdin turned to see Alozza, standing behind him, panting heavily.

"Alozza?" asked Alibaba. "What's the matter? I thought you were at the tavern with Masrur."

"Haa…haa…!" Alozza panted. "C…come quick…at…at the docks…ships…Kou Empire!"

Alibaba and Aladdin gasped before glancing each other worriedly.

Soon, the group arrived at the docks, and Alozza saw that it was a small fleet of ships, but a very large fleet of at least 20!

"Oh, shit," Alozza cursed.

"What's the Kou Empire doing here?!" Alibaba questioned.

"Dammit," Sinbad cursed. "I should've known they'd come here."

"What are we gonna do?!" Aladdin asked.

"…Ja'Far, Masrur," Sinbad said, "get Alibaba and his friends on a ship, now."

"Right away," Ja'Far answered while Masrur nodded.

"What?!" Alibaba questioned. "We're running away?!"

"No," Sinbad replied. "You are."

"You're staying behind?!" Alozza asked. "Why?!"

"I told the Kou princess that I would go to the Kou Empire to talk with the emperor," Sinbad said. "Alibaba, I'm sorry…but you have get out of here. If the Kou Empire lands, they're sure to take you and other members of the royal family into custody and either assume full control of Balbadd and turn it into a puppet regime, or execute you as an example to others. I'm sorry but you have to leave, now."

"You heard him!" Alozza said. "Alibaba! Morgiana! Aladdin! Shahra! Let's go!"

"Yes, ma'am!" Aladdin and Morgiana shouted as they turned and ran off, along with Shahra. However, Aladdin noticed Alibaba, glaring at the Kou Empire ships.

"Alibaba!" Aladdin called as he ran up to him, grabbed his arm, and pulled on him. "Alibaba, come on! We gotta go!"

Alibaba seethed angrily as he tried to pull his arm away, but then he felt another hand on her shoulder. He looked back and saw Alozza, who gave him a stern expression.

"Alibaba…it's not like you can fight them anyway," she said.

Alibaba gasped silently…before he looked down at his broken knife.

"I'm sorry…but we have to go," Alozza said.

A pause…but then Alibaba turned and ran off, and soon, Aladdin and Alozza followed him. Ja'Far and Masrur ran alongside them.

"Follow us!" Ja'Far called as he ran ahead.

Alibaba looked down dejectedly as he touched the red earrings on his ear.

'Cassim…I'm sorry,' he thought.

Aladdin jumped up on Shahra's shoulders as the tigress galloped alongside the others. As he did, he reached up and clutched at his flute, tightly.

'Ugo…I'm sorry,' he thought, sadly.

~Six Months Later~

In a vast tropical jungle, filled with many colorful birds, Morgiana stood before Masrur while Alozza stood nearby, watching them. The younger Fanalis charged at the older male, delivering a series of powerful kicks, but Masrur blocked each one.

"Very good," Masrur praised, although his expression remained…well, expressionless. "You could still use some improvement, though."

Morgiana nodded before she prepared to deliver another kick, but then, they heard the distant sound of trumpets blaring.

"You guys hear that?" Alozza asked.

"…He's back," Morgiana answered.

"Shall we go greet him, then?" Masrur asked.

"Sounds like a plan to me," Alozza replied as they all walked off. The birds around them flew up into the sky, revealing a bird's-eye-view of a huge island with a city built near a vast jungle, all of it by a giant stone wall.

This is the Kingdom of Sindria, a southern island nation, and here, Sinbad reigns as its king. Sindria lies far to the south of in an area known as the Savage Region. It was once an isolated island, unwelcoming of visitors, but Sinbad slowly developed into a prosperous nation. Known as the City of Dreams in The Adventures of Sinbad, it became a hot tourist spot for many. The landforms and climate were unlike anything on the Northern Continent, and the people lived beside strange animals, like Rainbow Toucans and Hive-Tailed Lemurs. The country flourished through trade and tourism promoted eagerly by the people.

"His Highness, King Sinbad has returned!"

At the palace, the huge gates opened…revealing Sinbad (now wearing all his Metal Vessels) as he walked in with two men.

One had dark skin, white, medium-length hair, and green eyes. He wore the same kind of robe Ja'Far wears, as well as a white, off-the-shoulder tunic, white pants, a pair of sandals with straps that go up to his calves, and around is a golden chain necklace with one end clipped to his right ear-piercing and the other end attached to a golden ball.

The other man was clad in a suit of armor, has the left side of his face covered by scarlet hair, and a white turban with a red feather wrapped around his head, as well as a white cape dropped on his shoulders.

"Welcome home, Your Highness!" a guard said.

"Welcome back," said another.

"Welcome home, Sin."

Sinbad looked up to see Ja'Far, bowing to him, and standing behind are four more individuals.

One was a tall, dragon-like creature with green scales, a red cape around his shoulders, and a red earring hanging on his left ear-fin.

Then, there was a very tall man with a scar on his left cheek. He had blue hair, like Aladdin, only a lighter shade, that was tied up in a ponytail, amber eyes, and some stubble on his chin. Around his head is a blue bandana with a piece of yellow coral adorned it like a headpiece, and a blue kilt made of fur, along with a cape around his shoulders. Strapped to his back is a giant red spear-like object.

The next is a young woman, in her 20s at least, with medium-length, turquoise hair…and she happened to be very well-endowed. She wore the same kind of robe Ja'Far wears, as well as a pink seashell bra, golden conch shells covering her ears, a red jewel held up by a chain on her forehead, and a black witch's hat. In her hand is a staff made of pink coral and a giant pearl at the top.

Finally, the last on is a young girl, about Aladdin's height, maybe a few inches taller, with pink eyes, short blonde hair which is braided on the right side and tied up with a pink string, a red headband with a red feather at the top, and a loose-fitting, pale pink top that is open, exposing her stomach and rather small breasts, as well as a pair of harem shorts. Like Ja'Far and the older woman, she also wears the same robe as them.

"I'm glad to see you made it back safely," Ja'Far said.

"I was gone for a while, wasn't I?" asked Sinbad.

"Six months, in fact," Ja'Far replied. "There were no mishaps during your absence, by the way."

"Glad to hear it," Sinbad said.

"Sinbad!"

Sinbad turned to see a young woman, about 24 years old, running to him. She has long, purple hair, only a slightly lighter shade than Sinbad's, tied up in a ponytail, and around her head is a jeweled hairpiece, adorned with sapphires and a gold chain, and her eyes were golden, like Sinbad's, but they seemed to have a more gentle look than his. She had a slim and curvaceous figure, and a beautiful, elegantly framed face. She is garbed in a blue top and a cyan skirt, like a regular belly dancer, and wears a pair of purple shoes.

"Alath!" Sinbad exclaimed happily as he opened his arms, catching the woman in his embrace.

"Welcome home, Big Brother!" Alath said. "I missed you!"

"I missed you, too," Sinbad said. "I thought about you all the time I was gone at the Kou Empire."

"Oh, really?" Alath inquired with a playful smirk. "You sure you weren't flirting with any of the Kou women?"

Hearing this earned several snickers from Ja'Far and his party, but one quick sneer from Sinbad soon silenced them all.

"Very funny," Sinbad answered, sarcastically. "Hahaha."

"That reminds me, Sin," Ja'Far said. "How did the negotiations with the Kou Empire regarding Balbadd go?"

"Ah, right," Sinbad said. "Well, we'll need to talk in my study about that."

XXX

Later, Sinbad is in his study with Alath and Ja'Far.

"About the negotiations," the King of Sindria said with a stoic expression, "Balbadd will be a part of the Kou Empire…but it will still maintain as a republic. The citizens' freedom is guaranteed."

"Well, that's good to know," Alath said. "When Ja'Far told me what happened, I was really scared!"

"Yes," Ja'Far added. "When the Kou Empire's forces arrived, I thought it would mean war."

"I was worried, too," Sinbad admitted, "but it turned out that the Kou never wanted to attack Balbadd. It just wanted Balbadd to join it. They tried to force a political marriage and then instigated a revolution so its army could enter and restore the peace. I think that was their intention from the start, so that's why its fleet assembled in the port. I even suspect that the Citizen Enslavement Policy was part of their plan to instigate a revolution, too."

"Are you saying that they planned for Balbadd to fall into that state?" Alath inquired.

"Exactly," Sinbad said. "I did everything I could as King of the Seven Seas."

After the Balbadd incident, Sinbad traveled to the imperial capital of the Kou Empire with a proposal: he asked the emperor to recognize self-rule for Balbadd as a republic instead of oppressing the people. He also requested exile (to Sindria, of course) and other punishments instead of execution for Balbadd's royalty. He negotiated as best as only the Chief of the Seven Seas Alliance could, and the emperor agreed.

"Well, that's good news, then," Ja'Far smiled.

"Yes," Sinbad concurred. "The people of Balbadd are stronger now. Even in the empire, they will fare well."

"You must be tired after your trip," Alath said. "Don't you wanna rest a bit?"

"No," Sinbad answered. "I should tell the others. Aladdin and Alibaba should hear about this."

"Welcome back!"

Sinbad turned to see Masrur, Alozza, and Morgiana. Ever since the incident in Balbadd, Aladdin, Shahra, Alibaba, Morgiana, and Alozza have been staying in the royal palace as guests.

"Hey, there!" Sinbad greeted. "I hope you've been enjoying your stay."

"You kidding?!" Alozza asked. "This place is A-1, baby! The food's great and the wine here is great, too!"

"I'm glad you're enjoying yourself," Sinbad said. "Where are Alibaba and Aladdin?"

"Alibaba's out in the garden," Alozza answered, "and Aladdin's in his room."

"How are they doing?" Sinbad asked.

"Well, at first they were dismayed about the empire's arrival at Balbadd," Ja'Far answered. "They were also saddened because they felt like they lost their dear friends for nothing."

"When they got here, that Alibaba guy was in a constant rage, stayed in his room, most of the time," Alath said, "but he did calm down after a while. Aladdin cheered up a bit too…although he's got this weird obsession with boobs."

"What are you talking about?" Sinbad asked.

"AH-HEH-HEM!" Ja'Far cleared his throat loudly. "A-anyway, Sin, the good thing is they're on the road to recovery."

"You're right," Sinbad said. "Because of the battles they fought, the people Balbadd had regained their hope. They were wounded and beaten down, and they lost precious comrades, but they gave others courage. Those two bold boys saved that country."

"I couldn't agree more," Alozza smiled.

"Sinbad?"

Sinbad looked up to see Alibaba, carrying a tray with a bowl of water and a wet rag, no longer his Fog Troop robes, but now in his regular outfit: the one he wore when he met Aladdin.

"Alibaba!" Sinbad greeted. "It's good to see you again! You're looking well!"

"Thanks!" Alibaba answered. "So…how did it go?"

"You've got nothing to worry about, Alibaba," Alozza said. "Balbadd will still be established as a republic."

Upon hearing that, Alibaba sighed in relief.

"Thank Solomon…!" he whispered.

"What are you doing with that tray?" Sinbad asked.

"Oh, I'm bringing it to Aladdin," Alibaba answered. "He's a little under the weather."

"He's sick?" Sinbad asked. "What's wrong with him?"

"That's another thing I wanted to bring up, actually," Alath said.

XXX

In a large room with a very big bed, big enough for at least 5 people, Aladdin is lying in the middle, quietly groaning in pain as he clutched at his stomach. Shahra sat beside him, making worried noises as she nudged his face with her nose gently.

XXX

"He's sick?" Sinbad asked as he walked down the corridor.

"Yeah," Alozza answered. "For some reason, he's been having really bad stomach cramps, but we don't know what the problem is."

"We took him to a doctor at least 11 times," Ja'Far answered. "They couldn't find anything wrong."

"His appetite's still okay," Alibaba said. "In fact, he eats a lot more than usual, now."

"How long has this been going on?" asked Sinbad.

"Since we left Balbadd, actually," Morgiana answered. "Sometimes, he's in so much pain, he keeps us awake with all his moaning."

"I see," Sinbad mused. "I wonder…"

"What is it, Sin?" Ja'Far asked. "Do you have an idea."

"I might," Sinbad said, "but first, I wanna talk to him."

"You sure?" Alozza asked.

"I know it seems unfair of me to talk to him in his condition," Sinbad said, "but there's something I need to talk to all of you about…and Aladdin needs to hear it, too. Go get him and meet me in the palace library."

"If you're sure," Alibaba said, "I'll go get him, then."

XXX

Later, the group had gathered in the library, among them being Aladdin and Shahra, the latter sitting in a chair between Alozza and Alibaba.

"You wanted to see me, Uncle Sinbad?" Aladdin asked.

"Yes," Sinbad said. "Forgive me for getting you out of bed, even though you're not feeling well."

"It's okay," Aladdin answered, forcing a smile. "I've been in my room too long, anyway."

"So, why did you wanna see us?" Alozza asked.

"Well, it's like this," Sinbad said, "since you people are guests here, people expect me to use you for the good of Sindria."

"Use?" Alibaba repeated.

"Don't take that the wrong way," Alath said. "My brother sees you all as valued allies."

"…Go on," Alozza said.

"I have other guests here," said Sinbad. "Like them, I ask you to please lend us your strength."

"What for?" Morgiana asked.

"To fight someone," Sinbad answered.

"Fight someone?" Alozza repeated.

"Yes," Sinbad replied. "You see, ever since I founded Sindria, we've had numerous scuffles with a certain organization. I'm sure encountered the abnormalities of the world: war, poverty, discrimination…they're spreading everywhere, and that is no mere coincidence. There's actually an organization, pulling the strings. They infiltrate countries as traders, political advisors, and court ladies, manipulating history from the shadows. It's name is…Al-Tharmen."

"Al-Tharmen?" Aladdin repeated while petting Shahra.

"They use other names," Sinbad continued, "but this is what we call them…and you've already crossed them, Alibaba. They noticed you in Balbadd."

"What?!" Alibaba questioned. "Wait…you mean…?!"

"Yes," Sinbad answered, grimly. "That 'banker', Markkio, who drove Balbadd into economic upheaval is one of them. They're also behind Judar, the Dark Djinn, and the Kou Empire. They may have also stirred up the rebels in Balbadd…and they're doing this all over the world."

Alibaba seethed angrily, clenching his fist and shaking, but Alozza reached over and put her hand on his in a reassuring manner.

"Alibaba…" Morgiana muttered, worriedly.

"Deep breaths," she told him, and Alibaba did just that.

"…Thanks," Alibaba said. "Sorry about that, Sinbad. Continue."

Sinbad and Alath look at Alibaba in concern.

"I cannot allow them to continue their work," Sinbad said, "and to face such a large opponent, I need lots of help."

"And I guess this is where we come in, am I right?" Alozza asked.

"What do you want us to do?" asked Alibaba.

"I'm not entirely sure, yet," Sinbad replied, "but you will be an important part of this struggle. However, you lack strength, and as you are, they could beat us. Therefore, you need to train. Your Djinn Equip and Aladdin's magic are imperfect."

"He's right," Aladdin spoke up. "The only spell I could ever use was the one Ugo taught me, as well as that barrier I got from my Mother. I barely survived that fight with Judar. I wanna use more magic, but I don't know how."

"Well, you're in luck!" Alath said. "Good ol' Yam's gonna teach all there is to know about magic!"

"Yam?" Aladdin repeated, bemused.

"She means Yamraiha," Sinbad answered as he got up and walked out. "Hang on. I'll go get her."

"Magic isn't just for Magi, you know," Alath said. "Yamraiha is a talented water mage! If anyone can teach you about magic, it's her!"

Soon, Sinbad returned with the turquoise-haired woman from earlier.

"Holy Solomon's spirit, she's drop-dead gorgeous!" Alibaba whispered.

"Just don't let Sharrkan hear you say that," Alath whispered back.

"Who's Sharrkan?" Morgiana asked.

"Her boyfriend," Alath smirked.

"That pig is not my boyfriend!" Yamraiha barked.

"Oh, come on!" Alath said. "You two fight like a married couple!"

"Just because we fight like a married couple doesn't mean we are a couple!" Yamraiha argued. "Stop lumping me in with him! I told you, I'm more into older guys with beards! That brat is 2 years younger than me!"

"So?" Alath asked. "Lots of guys go out with older women!"

"Ahem!" Sinbad cleared his throat. "As funny as this is, we're getting off track here. Aladdin, meet Yamraiha."

Aladdin smiled at Yamraiha, who smiled shyly as she took her hat off.

"Hello," she spoke with a blush on her face. "I'm Yamraiha. I don't really know how I can help, but…please, feel free to ask me whatever you want."

Aladdin grinned at Yamraiha, a tiny sliver of drool coming out his lips as he skipped towards her…and practically threw his face right in between her bosom!

"Hello there!" Aladdin exclaimed as he nuzzled her breasts.

"KYAAAAAH!" Yamraiha shrieked with tears in her eyes. "N-no! Stop that! Unh…!"

Suddenly, the pearl on her staff flashed red, and a large cloud of steam burst from her, throwing Aladdin off!

"CUT IT OUT, YOU DIRTY LITTLE PEST!"

"Aladdin!" Alozza cried as the young Magi rolled on the floor, steam fuming off of him.

"Are you okay!?" Alibaba asked as he went to help him, but his skin was hot to the touch. "YOWCH!"

Shahra growled viciously, preparing to lunge at Yamraiha for harming her "cub", but Alath quickly held her back.

"Easy!" Alath cried. "It's nothing harmful! All she did was evaporate the water off him! It's just steam!"

"She's right," Aladdin said as water dripped off his body. "It's just water."

"You do that again, and I make the water in your insides boil, got it?!" Yamraiha questioned.

"Wow…you seemed like such a kind and caring lady," Aladdin muttered, "but…you're really not at all."

"Whoa…talk about a hothead," Alozza muttered. "Then again, Aladdin, you brought that yourself. You gotta stop groping every girl with big boobs! And I don't care if they're soft, you just don't do it, period!"

"To think, I was all nervous because you were a Magi," Yamraiha said, "but it turns out you're nothing but a little pervert!"

Suddenly, the air was filled with a loud moan, causing everyone to glance at Aladdin, who had a pained look on his face as he fell to his knees, wrapping his arms around his stomach.

"Aladdin!" Alibaba cried.

"W-what's wrong?!" Yamraiha asked, her anger suddenly gone. "What's the matter?!"

"It's…my stomach!" Aladdin groaned with tears of pain brimming in his eyes. "It really hurts!"

"Aladdin's been having been stomach cramps ever since he left Balbadd," Morgiana answered. "We've tried everything."

"…Let me look at him," Yamraiha said, but Aladdin's cohorts gave her an apprehensive look. "I promise, I won't don't anything."

A pause…but then the others backed away.

"Aladdin," Yamraiha spoke, smiling kindly. "Can you stand up straight so I can look at your stomach?"

Aladdin nodded before he stood up, taking his arms away from his pained abdomen. Yamraiha placed her fingertips on his exposed belly and gently traced them along the skin, causing him to giggle a bit.

"Sorry," Yamraiha smiled. "Does it tickle?"

"A little," Aladdin answered.

Soon, the water mage's fingers stopped, right over Aladdin's bellybutton.

"Oh, I see what the problem is, now," she said. "You've got excess magoi in your stomach."

"Excess what-now?" Alozza repeated.

"It's like when you eat too much," Yamraiha answered. "Aladdin has too much magoi built up and he hasn't been letting it out. Sometimes, for magicians and even Magi like him, magoi has to be expended every once in a while. Otherwise, it'll lead to stomach cramps, like the ones Aladdin's been having."

"Wait!" Aladdin exclaimed. "I think I understand what you're saying! I used to use the power in my stomach to call out Ugo…but because he's not here anymore, I didn't have anyway to get rid of all that magoi…but I didn't think something like that would happen. You sure know a lot about magic, don't you, miss?"

"Well, I was one of the top students back at the academy," Yamraiha boasted.

"I sure would like to know more," Aladdin said. "Will you please teach me?"

"R…really?" Yamraiha asked in surprise. "Err…all right!"

Soon, she and Aladdin sat at a desk while Alozza, Alibaba, Morgiana, and Shahra stood around them.

"Now, listen closely," Yamraiha said as she showed Aladdin a scroll. "Magi and magicians are two different classes of sorcerers. Magic is about changing magoi to other forms, like fire or water or thunder. Regular people can't do that without the use of a Metal Vessel, Household Vessel, or other Magic Tools, like a flying carpet."

Aladdin nodded his head, intrigued.

"But there's one type of person who can magoi without the use of a Magic Tool," Yamraiha continued as she put her hand on Aladdin's shoulder. They can talk with the rukh since the moment they're born and send them commands to cause different kinds of natural phenomena. They are communicators, able to approach the Great Flow of the World…and that's us sorcerers!"

Aladdin gasped quietly in awe.

"There are different classes of sorcerer," Yamraiha said. "The strength of your magic depends on how much magoi the rukh can produce. For example, people like shamans or fortune-tellers have a little magoi, but can't really do much. Magicians, like me, have lots of magoi, but can only use one or types of magic, and finally, Magi, like you, can gather lots of magoi from both inside and out, and can use all different kinds of magic, even kinds that no one's even heard of! Do you understand?"

"Yeah! I understand!" Aladdin answered, but then he grimaced when he felt another stomach cramp. "Ohhhh…!"

"Oh, I'm sorry," Yamraiha apologized. "Does it still hurt?"

"Yeah, it does," Aladdin answered, "but I'm still excited! I've never talked so much about magic before! I'm glad I'm gonna be friends with another magician! Thank you, Yam!"

Yamraiha gasped quietly…but then smiled warmly at him. Alath, Alozza, Alibaba, Morgiana, and Shahra also smiled.

'I haven't seen Yam so happy about teaching someone so magic since 2 years ago…when she had her first little pupil,' she thought.

"Can you teach me more?" Aladdin asked. "Please?"

"Of course!" Yamraiha answered. "Why don't we go outside, though?"

XXX

Soon, everyone gathered outside in the courtyard.

"So what are you gonna teach me first?" asked Aladdin. "Also, are you gonna do anything about my stomach?"

"Well, before we get down to the lessons," Yamraiha started, "I want you to show me something. Show me a spell of yours. I want to see your capabilities and habits."

"Uh…I only know one spell," Aladdin spoke. "Is that okay?"

"Sure!" Yamraiha answered. "Go ahead and show me!"

"Good luck Aladdin!" Alibaba said.

"Knock 'em dead!" Alozza added.

'This is so exciting!' Yamraiha thought. 'I wonder what the legendary Magi's magic will be like?'

Aladdin then pointed his staff to the sky and shouted, "HALHARL INFIGAR!"

BAKOOSH! A huge jet of fire burst from Aladdin's staff, shooting up into the sky!

"WAAH!" Yamraiha cried as she fell on her bottom.

"GREAT SOLOMON'S RUKH!" Alath cried.

'He…he can continuously channel vast amounts of magoi into magic!' Yamraiha thought. 'A normal person would drain their magoi in an instant and die…but if he can do that, he must be gathering magoi from the rukh around him! The rukh favor him! Is he the Magi Miracle?!'

Soon, the fire dissipated, and Aladdin looked at the others.

"How was that?" Aladdin asked.

"That…was…AMAZING!" Yamraiha exclaimed as she picked up Aladdin and hugged him (whilst holding his face against her bosom). "Please tell me more about you, Aladdin, you wonderful little boy!"

"Aladdin, that was awesome, little buddy!" Alibaba cheered. "Great job!"

"Thanks, Alibaba!" Aladdin said. "Oh! And my stomach feels better, too!"

Until Next Night…

I know I said I'd start on Monday, but I just couldn't help it! XD

Anyway, the other woman is named Alath, and she is Sinbad's younger sister, 6 years younger than he is. She used to work as a belly dancer in a caravan, but now she lives in Sindria with him. She is Ja'Far's love interest. ;)

Review, please!
