It was a beautiful in the Dark Continent. Currently, two proud parents watch their beautiful daughter, born with the nations beautiful pink hair, resting peacefully before they head to bed in the other room. A few hours later, during the night, lightning strikes outside. It was a very dark night in that small village for that small family. The pink hair girl was stolen right out of her crib. From that time, she was kept with a woman who showed her a little bit of kindness. At the age of two, she was auctioned off to a man who beat her senseless for a year. Her first slip up she was scolded at.

"You are a worthless little brat. You will learn how to be a slave!" The man says and whips her while she cries. She didn't even understand what was going on and what she did wrong.

At age three, she used her powerful legs to run. The man didn't give chase because he knew she'd never survive the trek through the desert.

Her journey was long and hard, but even for a child, she didn't give up. When she found a village, she drank from the public well and got pulled out by her hair. She barely listened as she was scolded and beaten. They could tell that she was someone's slave. Afraid for her life, she begins crying.

"What a little brat! Who told you that could drink from that well!" The people yell at her.

"Leave her alone!" A voice says. The girl looks over to find a boy about her age smiling cheerfully. He walks over and grabs her hand and pulls her hand before the adults can react. Once out of harm's way and at the boy's house, he laughs. She stood with her hands against her face as she cried.

"That was sure scary huh." He says while she stares at him, he reaches towards her with a cloth and she flinches, "You are safe." She continues to stare at him while his parents come in and ask him who she was. She gets tears in her eyes fearing she'll be thrown out.

"She's my new friend!' Sinbad says and laughs.

"Well, I'm glad you have a new friend. What's your name, sweetie?" Esra, Sinbad's mother says.

"Annalise is the name they gave me." She whispers quietly that they barely heard her. Sinbad's parents helped her remove her shackles and she stares at her ankles shocked as tears slid down her cheeks.

"Well, you won't have to worry about that. I've never seen you around so I assume you came from somewhere else." Badr, Sinbad's father says.

"I crossed sand." She whispers.

"You must be starving then. It must be from you being a Fanalis that you survived." Badr says.

She didn't understand why these people were being nice to her. She didn't understand it at all. She stares at the family while Sinbad talks to his parents. Annalise was fed and they couldn't let a child go running around alone so they let her stay.

A tavern is shown and inside people are shown drinking. Badr drinks and eats quietly while everyone was talking and laughing. Two soldiers enter the tavern carrying a big bag of gold. They stop in front of Badr as the entire tavern gets quiet.

"We've been looking for you, Badr." One of the soldiers says and Badr looks up at them as they place the gold down, "This is a reward for all your hard work. Please take it." Badr gets up shocking everyone.

"I'm afraid I can't accept. I'm sorry to say, I'm not worthy of all this money." Badr says and limps away.

"Sir you can't be serious." The soldier says, "You are a war hero who sacrificed more than anyone else. Who is more deserving than you?" Badr stops at the door.

"Tell you what? Why don't I just spend it on everyone's drinks? That work for you?" Badr asks and everyone in the tavern cheers.

Later, Badr takes a drink from his canister as he sat on his boat baking under the afternoon sun. He takes a deep breath as he looks up into the sky.

'I wish I knew... In what direction, this country is going to head. The war needs to come to an end.' Badr's thoughts say and he sighs. He looks at the pile of nets in his fishing boat.

"Although, for the time being." Badr says to himself and crawls over to the pile of nets, "I just want to catch lots of fish and see the beautiful face of hers." He lifts the nets up and his eyes widen when his eyes land on purple and pink. He freaks out when he sees Sinbad and Annalise curled around each other sleeping. Annalise's red eyes open first and she sits up thoroughly out of it while Sinbad wakes up, yawns and looks at Badr while blinking his golden eyes. He gets a big smile on his face before jumping towards Badr.

"PAPA!" Sinbad says.

"Sinbad! What are you two doing here?!" Badr says and begins trying to untangle the nets.

"Annalise! The ocean!" Sinbad says and reaches towards the water to splash her. She squeals and runs to the other side of the boat.

"Sinbad! Be careful!" Badr says shocked and grabs at him. Sinbad puts seaweed on Annalise's head and she starts crying then lets out a loud scream.

"So, how did you two sneak on board?" Badr asks later while holding Sinbad and he looks at Sinbad as Annalise grips Badr's robe.

"Storm." Annalise whispers.

Moments later, the storm hits them and Badr tries to get them to safety. Annalise holds onto Badr's only working leg as her hair was a mess from all the rain and ocean water. Sinbad climbs up Badr's back and holds onto him.

"Papa, not this way. Go that way." Sinbad says. Badr looks at Sinbad and gulps before looking down at Annalise who was crying from the thunder and lightning.

"You got it." Badr says and Badr changes their direction.

"Yay! We did it!" Sinbad says.

"Sin, I think you might have some kind of special power hidden within you. The power to choose the right destiny." Badr says as he sets Sinbad down next to Annalise.

'Was this why she has always been drawn to him? Is this why she crossed the desert to escape?' Badr's thoughts ask.

"Good job, Sin." Annalise whispers.

"I think it'll be you two who will lead the people of this country away from the path of destruction. I believe you will grow into a man who will change the world!" Badr says.

The two best friends were now 5 years old. Unbeknownst to them, a spy from another country is confronted by soldiers of Parthevia. He jumps off a cliff to escape capture. The next day about lunch time, Badr returns from having a great haul of fish.

"What a great catch and a great day to boot." Badr says and his stomach growls.

"PAPA!" Sinbad yells. Badr looks over to see Annalise running behind Sinbad. She wore a simple robe now with a purple flowered robe that one of the villagers made for her. Sinbad's outfit looked like a miniature version of Badr's except he didn't have the white robe over it. The two were bringing him lunch. He looks at the food and his mouth starts to water.

"Thank you so much for lunch! If you didn't show up when you did, there wouldn't be any fish." Badr says.

"You are always forgetting your lunch." Sinbad says as he passes Annalise some food. She takes small bites and listens to the two as she barely spoke.

"Let me go with you on your boat! I'm already five years old so let me help out!" Sinbad says. Badr pats his head.

"No way. You've got Annalise and your mother to look after." Badr says.

"You are so mean! Why can't I go?" Sinbad says.

"Isn't looking after your mother and Annalise not enough? You'll get in my way." Badr says, "I can't have a kid on my boat."

"I'm five years old! I'm not a kid!" Sinbad says, "I just want to help you."

"Thank you, Sin, but how about when you are a little bit older?" Badr asks. People come over and start yelling at Badr. Annalise hides behind Sinbad as she whimpers.

The people begin beating Badr up and Annalise starts crying as Sinbad watches in shock. Badr eventually passes out and they stop beating him up. A few hours pass, and Badr wakes up cheerfully, not letting what happened bother him.

"Why Papa? Why did you let that happen?" Sinbad asks.

"Huh?" Badr asks looking at Sinbad.

"You are a wonderful hero, right? If you tried harder, you could have beaten them up. You are such a dummy papa!" Sinbad yells then runs away while crying. Annalise looks at Badr then runs after Sinbad.

Later, Sinbad eats angrily as Badr, Esra, and Annalise look at him. Esra was confused while Badr sighs.

"What's the matter Sinbad?" Esra asks, "Is everything okay?"

"If he eats to fast he'll choke." Annalise says.

"I'M FINE!" Sinbad says angrily.

"Sin." Esra says as she was even more confused.

"I'm done eating." Sinbad says angry still. Annalise finishes her meal too.

"Hey, Sin." Badr says, "The water in the pot is running a little low. You mind drawing more from the well? Even a little kid like you can handle something that simple, right?"

"Yeah, you bet I can!" Sinbad says, "Because unlike you, I'm a real man!" Sinbad heads outside with the pot.

"Easy, Love, be careful. Annalise, could you give us a few minutes to speak alone please?" Esra asks.

"Yes." Annalise says and gets up and heads into the other room. Esra and Badr begin arguing about how Badr is treated. Annalise listens as she sat in the other room.

"Papa!" Sinbad says running into the house. He was out of breath.

"Sin?" Badr asks. They go and get a guy who had passed out at the well and Annalise hides behind Esra as they tend to the guy's wounds.

The next morning, he wakes up and Annalise continues to hide behind Esra. Badr offers their home to the guy who they didn't know at all. He'd introduced himself as Darius. He notices Annalise who gasps and ducks behind Esra.

"It's rare seeing a Fanalis so far out here." Darius says.

"That's what we said. You are welcome to stay, but fair warning, we are barely making it by as it is." Badr says, "So try to stay out of trouble."

"Yes." Darius says.

During his stay, Annalise would stay away from the mysterious man because he was a strange man. He smelled weird to her. Sinbad would tell Annalise the stories that Darius would tell her.

A few days pass and Darius prepares to leave. Esra tries to feed him when she notices that he had his things. He tells her he can't take advantage of any more of her hospitality. She hears someone at the door and she walks over to it. Some soldiers stood at the door and tells her about a spy from the Reim Empire was in the area. They push her to the ground moments before they are killed. Annalise screams as she watches Darius kill the men. Sinbad runs into the room and gets grabbed by Darius.

"Sinbad!" Annalise says and chases after Darius with Esra. Esra pleads for everyone's help and Annalise grips her hands into fists as she was moments from reacting when Badr show up.

"Please, let my son go." Badr says.

"Honey." Esra says.

"Papa!" Sinbad says.

"Darius, you made me a promise." Badr says. He gets down on his knees and pleads with Darius to let Sinbad go. When Darius refuses, Badr moves forward, draws his sword and stabs Darius.

"Call me a traitor until you are blue in the face. I could care less what you people think. But when you harm my family... you will be shown no mercy!" Badr says as Sinbad runs to him. Annalise runs over and they stand and watch Darius fall over and die. Annalise stands almost behind Sinbad as he stood staring at his father.

"Hey, Mister... your stories... I really liked your adventure stories." Sinbad says as he was starting to cry.

A few days pass and the village watches as Badr is beat up. Sinbad was about to get harmed when Badr yells at them. Annalise moves over to Sinbad and hides behind him as she watches Badr be taken away.

Annalise is shown standing beside Sinbad who is shown as a fourteen-year-old teen. She was also fourteen years old. Her pink hair was much longer and she wore a similar outfit to Esra's did all those years ago, the wind blows their hair behind them.
