"Come on warm me up Annalise!" Sinbad says as he shivers. He attempted to hug her, but she kept moving away from him. Geysers appear causing Annalise to stop moving and Sinbad hugs her happily.
"Warmth!" Sinbad says.
"What is that?" Annalise says then he takes them over to the fight and he draws Baal.
"Baal! I require your assistance! Lightning Strike!" Sinbad yells and electrocutes the monster. Sinbad then remembers that he was freezing and he sneezes.
"It's freezing!" Sinbad yells.
Sinbad and Annalise walk over to the guy they rescued and the three talk and Sinbad realizes that he stole the kill from the guy. Annalise glares at him when he begins flirting with the guy's younger sister.
"Simple, my name is Sinbad and I am happy that a beautiful woman is beautiful anywhere in the world." Sinbad says as he flirts with the girl who completely ignores him.
"Huh?" The girl asks.
"Darn." Sinbad says.
"Serves you right." Annalise says.
"So, what is your name?" Sinbad asks.
"I'm Pipirika." The girl says.
"Pipirika! A pleasure! And you are?" Sinbad asks looks at the guy.
"Uh..." The guy says.
"My brother's name is Hina. Even though he's twenty-one, he still has his childhood name." Pipirika says and her eyes go to Annalise and she gasps, "Ah, A Fanalis! You are rare! Your hair is so pretty! What's your name?"
"Uh, Annalise." Annalise replies.
"But since he caught an Abare Narwhal, he'll finally be granted his warrior name!" Pipirika says.
"I see." Sinbad says.
"You'll be recognized by 'the one' too!" Pipirika says to her brother.
"The who?" Annalise and Sinbad asks.
"She's fierce and elegant! Even I admire her, as a woman! She's the most beautiful woman in Imuchakk!" Pipirika explains.
"Really?" Sinbad says.
"Excuse my friend. He's reached manhood so he believes he has to charm every woman." Annalise says a bit angrily. Their stomach growls and Pipirika giggles.
Later, the four of them sit around a fire. Annalise looks down at the flames as Sinbad engaged in conversation.
"Tell me more about Imuchakk." Sinbad says.
"Let's see, it's pure white." Pipirika says.
"Right, but I'm more curious about its ruler. What kind of King is he?" Sinbad asks.
"Our father is the patriarch." Pipirika says. Annalise looks at Hina and blinks confused as he looks at his food with a sad look on his face.
"That's great then take me with you!" Sinbad says.
"What?" Hina asks, "Sinbad, outsiders aren't welcome in our community. They'll give you dirty looks."
"Doesn't bother me!" Sinbad says, "It's an unfamiliar country with unfamiliar people. I want to see it all, so I can change the world!" Hina stares at him shocked.
"So, what about your girlfriend?" Pipirika asks.
"Girlfriend?!" The two say in unison, "As if! We are just friends!"
"We grew up together." Sinbad says.
"Awe, but you two would look so cute together!" Pipirika says and Annalise blushes while Sinbad blinks confused. Neither one said anything else.
Later, Sinbad finds Hina sitting on some rocks. Hina was going to say something, but stops.
"It's beautiful." Sinbad says. Hina gasps and looks over at Sinbad.
"The sky I mean, you've been here a while." Sinbad asks.
"Yeah." Hina says.
"I wanted to apologize. I stole the Abare Narwhal from you. But you were desperate to save your sister. That was damn impressive!" Sinbad says shocking Hina even more.

"You think so?" Hina asks.
The next day, Sinbad and Annalise are taken to Imuchakk. Sinbad looks with wide eyes at the beauty of it. Annalise sneezes from the cold and she shivers. She glares at Sinbad for wanting to come to this cold place.
'Pure white land. Big, strong people! Strangely build houses and, of course, beautiful women.' Sinbad's thoughts say. Annalise flicks him in the back of the head.
"What was that for?" Sinbad asks.
"Drawing you out of those terrible thoughts. I am your conscious. I am telling you to not get into trouble." Annalise says.
"What's been with you lately?" Sinbad asks.
"Imuchakk is the land of snow and ice." Pipirika says.
"Welcome home! My children!" The Patriarch says. Annalise and Sinbad look over.
"We have returned." Hina says.
"I see, who's this?" The Patriarch asks.
"I'm Sinbad, this is my best friend Annalise! We venture to all parts of the world." Sinbad says and they get the guy's weapon in his face.
"This is Imuchakk, outsiders are not welcome." The Patriarch says.
"But father!" Pipirika says. They are let into Imuchakk to warm up. Annalise sits beside Sinbad as they both wore Imuchakk jackets that was designed to keep the people warm. They learn more about a festival going on. The patriarch mentions about a strange building and Annalise looks over at the Patriarch.
"A Dungeon!" Annalise says.
"I advise you to stay away from it!" Sinbad says.
"Demons and monsters are inside. Many people have died in them on the outside of your village." Annalise says.
"We learned about that. We heard that two children ended up defeating it." Hina says.
"That was us." Sinbad says and shows off his sword.
"That is your mark of the capture there?" The Patriarch asks and Sinbad nods before a bowl is handed to him, "In Imuchakk, we bestow the greatest honor to the braves. I hope you can forgive my rudeness. I can't understand why you would allow a young lady to go in with you."
"I actually didn't want her to. But she insisted. She's quite brave." Sinbad says and Annalise looks down, "I admire that about her."
"Then she deserves honor as well!" The Patriarch says. He makes a bowl for Annalise and she blushes when it's passed to her.
"T-Thank you." Annalise says almost in a whisper but loud enough for the Patriarch to hear.
"It's wise to be vigilant to outsiders. Especially when you are the Patriarch who's responsible for the whole clan. So, I ask of you. Don't let anyone near the Dungeon." Sinbad says.
"I understand; I trust your word." The Patriarch says.
The festival begins and Annalise watches with a small smile on her face at how happy everyone was. Sinbad is invited to dance with some of the children and Annalise stands off to the side watching still. Pipirika drags Annalise to the dance floor and Annalise begins learning to dance from the women. Sinbad looks over at her as she dances and his eyes widen. He smiles as he saw there was the smile on her face. She was laughing while she danced as well as she was enjoying herself.
'She's so beautiful when she's laughing and having fun. What did I do to deserve Annalise in my life?' Sinbad's thoughts ask.
Sinbad hadn't realized that he had feelings for Annalise, just that he cared for her a lot and wanted her to remain by his side. He's dragged to dance with her and the two blush as they dance together after being taught the ceremonial dance normally taught and danced by a wedded couple. Pipirika scolded her father for suggesting that the two be taught the ceremonial dance for a wedded couple and the Patriarch just simply laughs. The men of the tribe offer Sinbad something to drink and he ends up getting drunk. Annalise sighs as she looks over at one of the female villagers. Annalise is led to their guest lodge as Annalise carried Sinbad who was partially passed out on her back.

"So, beautiful, hmm." Sinbad says and Annalise glares as she knew he was dreaming about girls. She drops him onto his bed, but does cover him up. She moved over to her own bed and covered up and glared facing the wall. She couldn't sleep with all the noise he was making from thinking he was still at the party. Annalise opens her eyes as she hears something and she turns over to see a boy moving in to attack Sinbad. She jumps up as fast as she can and kicks him away from Sinbad.
"SIN!" Annalise yells. Sinbad sits up and grabs the dagger rope that was aimed for him after Annalise's landing beside him caused him to come alert. Annalise looks at the boy.
"Too bad he's a brat, I bet he's adorable under those wraps." Annalise says. The child was covered almost from head to toe with different types of wraps.
"Annalise, I don't think this is the time. I think it's time for some punishment for this brat." Sinbad says, "Why don't you get down!" Sinbad pulls him down by the dagger rope, but the kid wraps another one around his ankles and knocks him down before going for the kill.
"I knew I wouldn't need help to take you out." The kid says and gasps when he sees Sinbad smiling.
"Forget about something?" Sinbad asks and the kid's eyes widen. Annalise's leg hits the kid's gut and he's sent flying. Sinbad jumps up and knocks the kid out. The kid wakes up a few minutes later to find himself tied up while Annalise, Pipirika, Hina and Sinbad stood over him.
"Now out with it!" Sinbad says.
"Did Parthevia send you?" Annalise asks and the kid ignores them, "ANSWER ME!" The kid looks at her then looks away and Sinbad grabs her by the waist to hold her back.
"You are an awfully young assassin." Sinbad says after Annalise calms down. He kneels in front of the boy who scoffs at him.
"What is with the attitude?" Sinbad asks, "I don't know where you came from, but what would your parents say?"
"Shut your mouth." The kid says and Annalise glares at the boy.
"What's with you?" Sinbad asks, "It's rude to speak to your elders that way."
"Sinbad, you are dealing with an assassin here. You have to be stricter." Hina says.
"He's also a child. He needs to be disciplined as if we were his parents." Annalise says.
"Are you understanding? Don't you think things like this is disgracing your parents?" Sinbad asks.
"I said shut up!" The kid says, "My parents are long gone! I murdered them myself when I was only six!" He starts laughing, but his eyes widen when a hand collides with his cheek.
"That's not something to boast about!" Annalise yells angrily. He looks over at Annalise with wide eyes.
"Annalise, I've got this." Sinbad says. Sinbad gently nudges her away as she continued to stare at the kid with an angry look in her eyes.
"You are such a poor kid." Annalise says as the kid looks over at her with wide eyes still.
'H-How is she making me lose my composer?! It's always been rock solid. No one has ever made me break it. She broke it with a single slap to the face.' The kid's thoughts say. He struggles to regain his composer as he looks at Sinbad and sees that both Sinbad and Annalise had the same look in their eyes. They had compassion for him.
"Don't look at me like that." The kid says, "You are just a kid too! What do you two know?!" He slices Sinbad against the cheek as the kid had originally been going for Annalise. There's an explosion which causes dust to cover the area. Sinbad grabs Annalise to protect her while she looked around.
"Stay away from me! You don't understand!" The kid says.
"They are gone." Annalise says as the dust clears. They watch the kid leave with his companions. Annalise's eyes widen as she realizes Sinbad took the attack for her.
"Sin! You are hurt!" Annalise says.
"Huh? Oh, it's fine." Sinbad says and whips his cheek with his arm.
"Who were those guys?" Hina asks.
"They were most likely sent from Parthevia. I am kinda a fugitive." Sinbad says.
"He made me one too." Annalise says returning to her usual composer. She looks at Sinbad.
'He took the kid's attack for me. He could have been seriously injured, but why?' Annalise's thoughts ask.
"That must be rough, huh?" Hina asks.
"Don't worry. I'll overcome an obstacle I must!" Sinbad says and Hina stares at them shocked.
'Sin, how are you...?' Hina's thoughts say.
Sinbad, Pipirika and Annalise head out to join the others while Hina needed a moment to think. When it takes a while to come out. Pipirika heads inside and finds a note from Hina. She comes out and tells Sinbad what she learned.
"Sinbad! Annalise! It's from my brother!" Pipirika says with tears in her eyes causing the two to look at her, "He said he needs to prove himself! He's gone to face the dungeon by himself!"
"The dungeon kills all, except those who are worthy of being a King's Candidate. Annalise got through because Baal sensed how much she means to me. She's my treasured friend." Sinbad says.
"Then my brother!" Pipirika says.
"Don't worry. We'll bring him home." Annalise says.
"How do you know you will come back alive?" Pipirika asks.
"I just know. I refuse to die and I refuse to let Annalisedie either." Sinbad says. The two head to the dungeon after Hina. When they getthere Sinbad gulps. He gets a fist and they head up the steps to enter thedungeon.
