《Sinbad: High King of the Seas》Chapter 3: "The Dungeon Baal!"
Advertisement
"This is the dungeon?" Annalise says in shock. She looks around as Sinbad finally releases her as he had an arm around her waist which he had grabbed as they were entering the dungeon. They hear a scream and Sinbad pushes Annalise to the ground as a monster flies over them. They head to check it out and Sinbad grabs Annalise by the waist as he jumps down and throws his sword at the dragon attacking the commander guy.
"Why are we saving him?" Annalise asks. They run to get cover together and Annalise crosses her arms as she glares at the commander guy.
"We saved your life and we can't even get a thank you?" Sinbad asks. Drakon reveals his long introduction.
"Yeah we will just call you Drakon for short." Sinbad says. The two guys begin fighting. Annalise hits them both in the back of the head.
"Stop fighting." Annalise says.
They discover the leader of the dragons is in fact a bigger dragon and they head and find the door, but see the dragon is blocking the door and Drakon decides he's going to go to the door while Sinbad and Annalise sacrifice themselves. They sit there ignoring him and when Drakon is moments from death, Sinbad saves him.
"Kill me, I am afraid of the monsters. I have failed as a commander." Drakon says, "It's embarrassing."
"What's so embarrassing about not dying? If you don't die, then you get to survive and live. If it weren't for Sinbad, I would have never been officially freed. I could be dying right now, but instead I'm standing strong beside my best friend and hero." Annalise says.
"She has a point." Sinbad says.
"The point of living is so that you live to change the world. Sinbad is going to make the country new again. I know that he's going to make the world better for everyone." Annalise says.
"Stay here, Annalise!" Sinbad says and Sinbad grabs the shield and he uses it to surf on the geysers that exploded water out of the ground. He destroys the dragon and they find pearls. The three of them carry it over to the doors and place the two pearls inside the holes. The door opens while Annalise stands behind Sinbad.
"Let's go Drakon." Sinbad says. The two begin walking forward into the door.
"Who are you two exactly?" Drakon asks.
"You want to know who we are huh? That's simple." Sinbad asks, "You can call me, Sinbad, the Sailor. She's Annalise, my best friend!" Drakon stares at them and they keep going. Sinbad holds his arm out protectively in front of Annalise and Drakon. He destroys some monsters and looks back at them with a smile.
'Sinbad... Such a mysterious man. Outwardly, he looks like a reckless fool, but really...' Drakon's thoughts say as he follows behind Annalise and Sinbad as they get closer to the treasure room, 'He carefully analyses each situation. Under any circumstance, he makes the right choice. He's a man who rides the waves of fate. And Annalise...' Annalise jumps up and kicks some monsters then jumps back so Sinbad can deliver the final blow.

'She works in unison with him. She must be the only one capable of matching Sinbad. The two seem to have a deep connection far greater than that of a married couple or even siblings. Even with a blood of a Fanalis coursing through her blood, she seems to stand her ground against the monsters.' Drakon's thoughts say as he watches the two.
"You still look pale." Sinbad says.
"You're out of breath!" Drakon says.
"Your legs seem tired after all that fleeing!" Sinbad yells angrily.
"Thanks to an idiot, I had to run around even more!" Drakon says. Annalise sighs and steps between the two.
"Let's just keep going." Annalise says. She had a few scraps from their journey here.
"How is she not exhausted?" Drakon asks.
"She's a Fanalis." Sinbad says.
"I praise you both for doing so well for commoners." Drakon says.
"I thought you were just a spoiled kid, but your tougher than I expected. Not as much as I am that is." Sinbad says.
"I should be saying that to you." Drakon says as the three head inside. Annalise looks around while Sinbad heads up the small stairs.
"It appears they are all made of stone." Annalise says.
"Nothing seems out of ordinary." Drakon says.
"I'll have to disagree with you on that." Sinbad says.
"It be best not to touch anything." Annalise says as Sinbad pokes a lamp and lightning come out of the lamp, "SIN!"
"What? You were to slow to say that." Sinbad says as it covers the area causing the stoned things to become gold and silver things before disappearing. A giant blue creature floats above Drakon and Annalise and the three stare shocked.
"I am known as Baal a Djinn of Wrath and Heroism. Who is the one who wishes to become king?" The giant says.
'A Djinn?' Annalise's thoughts say.
'Is this what Yunan was talking about? The power to become the King?' Sinbad's thoughts say.
'The power in which the sorcerers spoke of. If I offer it to the emperor...' Drakon's thoughts says.
"I am the one!" Drakon says.
"Djinn! I'm the one!" Sinbad says landing beside Annalise.
"Who will be king!" The guys say in unison. The two guys look at one another and glare.
"And the young lady?" Baal asks. The two guys look at her. Her eyes widen as she blinks confused.
"Don't mind me, I'm only here to assist Sinbad. I've known him for years. If anyone is worthy of being King, it's Sin." Annalise says as she looks at him with soft, happy, yet serious eyes. Sinbad looks at her and he smiles.
"Stay out of my way Drakon." Sinbad says.
"I'm here out of the direct order from the Emperor." Drakon says, "So, I'm warning you, Sinbad. Back off!"

"To hell with the Emperor! I refuse to give any more power to someone who uses it to abuse their people. I've made my decision..." Sinbad says and looks at Drakon with a serious look in his eyes, "I'll change the country and the world by using my own power!"
"Then it seems our short-lived truce has come to an end." Drakon says and draws his sword. Annalise gets ready to fight, but Sinbad puts his left arm out in front of her.
"I don't want you to have to fight him off for me. This is my final test to prove I can be a future King." Sinbad says.
"Sin..." Annalise says and she squeals when the Djinn grabs her. He snaps his fingers and her eyes widen as her outfit suddenly changes.
"The one shall be the victor will also be the one worthy of this beautiful lady's heart." The Djinn says.
"I don't even know Drakon." Annalise says. Both guys blink confused then start fighting. Annalise gasps when Drakon had sliced Sinbad's cheek.
"Sin!" Annalise says.
"Don't worry, I'm fine." Sinbad says. Sinbad stops Drakon from finishing him off and then Sinbad punches him. Drakon starts speaking about a woman.
"I can't lose!" Drakon says.
"Yeah, I know how you feel. I've got my own reasons for wanting to win." Sinbad says and he glances over at Annalise. The two guys go for the final punch and Annalise watches as Sinbad wins. Her eyes widen as she notices a strange little butterfly creature flying around Sinbad as she is put down and she runs over to him. He puts his arm around her as Baal places his symbol on Sinbad's sword and then transports the three out. the dungeon disappears leaving all the gold. They notice soldiers all around them.
"This outfit is so revealing Baal!" Annalise says.
"I actually kind of like it." Sinbad says.
"Hand over all the gold and the dungeon's power!" Soldiers yell.
"Never! I earned the treasure and the Dungeon's power all on my own!" Sinbad says and draws his weapon as he pulls Annalise closer to him. She gasps as she notices more butterfly creatures.
"I'm surprised you aren't using your newfound power to protect Annalise." Yunan says and the two glance over at him.
"Yunan!" Sinbad says.
"I see now, you haven't yet discovered how to awaken it." Yunan says and places his hand on Baal's symbol. Baal appears above them.
"Isn't it a little early to require my assistance Master?" Baal asks.
"Follow the voice deep within your heart." Yunan says.
"Voice?" Annalise asks. Sinbad looks at Annalise and he nods.
"Oh, Djinn of Wrath and Heroism... I hereby order you and your messengers use my Magoi as your source and bestow my will of power beyond comprehension. Come forth! BAAL!!" Sinbad says and Annalise blushes as Sinbad continues to hold her against him. Baal releases a strong attack while laughing.
"This is my power?" Sinbad asks.
"Put it away." Annalise says.
"And you two are off!" Yunan says and uses his powers to lift them into the sky.
"Yunan! What's going on?!" Sinbad says as Annalise screams hugging herself to keep her clothes on properly.
"This is a gift from me to you!" Yunan says. He teleports them and then sends them flying.
Within a few moments, they land in the village they started at. Annalise checks herself and sees everything is on correctly. Sinbad almost throws up when a village lady reveals that it's been two months since they left. They rush back to the home and finds Esra laying down.
"Mom!" Sinbad says.
"Darling! Is that you? Badr? If I'm able to see you then that means, I'll be leaving this world soon. Our little boy and Annalise took the sword and went on an adventure. I was always a bit worried about Sinbad, but after he became friends with Annalise, he's had someone to look after. He's an adult now. He'll be fine. I love you, Sin." Esra says and Annalise sobs.
Sinbad remembers his mother's last conversation with his mother as he gets tears in his eyes. Esra goes still as she takes her final breath and Annalise grips Sinbad's shirt as she sniffles.
After they recover from the death of Esra, Sinbad looks over at Annalise.
"Hey." Sinbad says.
"Huh?" Annalise asks.
"Let's go on an adventure!" Sinbad says and Annalise looks at him. They head out and come upon the Princess that Drakon is in love with and Sinbad kidnaps her then throws her into the sea as she was in a barrel.
"You didn't have to kidnap her." Annalise says.
"Let's go! It's time to change the world!" Sinbad says with his arms out. Annalise waves to the Princess who was yelling at him. She looks at Sinbad as she couldn't help, but laugh.
"Finally, you laughed!" Sinbad says and Annalise blushesfrom embarrassment, "Always smile and laugh, Annalise. I think your verypretty." Annalise looks at him and then punches him in the arm playfully aftershe had been blushing causing him to laugh.
