《Sinbad: High King of the Seas》Chapter 6: "Where you Belong!"
Advertisement
"Idiot! What makes you think I'd ever consider becoming one of your lapdogs?" The kid asks.
"You wouldn't be his lapdog! You'd be a treasured ally, a friend!" Annalise says and the kid looks at her with shocked eyes. His angered shocked eyes soften as he looks at Sinbad and Annalise moments before weird ooze starts coming from his eyes, mouth and nose. Vittel and the other guy also start getting it and Sinbad makes Annalise step back as the three merge into one giant monster.
"They turned into a monster!" Annalise says. Drakon goes to shoot the kid and Sinbad stops him.
"What are you doing?" Drakon asks.
"They are my treasured comrades!" Sinbad says.
The monster fully forms and uses the anger the kid had for Sinbad and punches him away.
"Sinbad!" Annalise yells then screams when she knocked away as well. She is slammed into the wall.
"Annalise..." Sinbad says as he watches her struggle to get up. She takes deep, heavy breathes and she glares at Drakon for suggesting Sinbad kill the monster. She stands up.
"We'll beat it up. You just get ready to deliver that blow." Annalise says. Sinbad goes to use his sword, but is stopped and the lady that came with Drakon appears. She takes the sword and holds onto it. She watches as everyone gets beaten up, mainly Sinbad who refused to leave the others inside the monster. Hina gets free and then tells Sinbad that he'll take care of the monster and free the others.
"We'll distract it then!" Sinbad says and he and Annalise run and attack the demon to distract him. Sinbad is grabbed and squeezed by the demon and Annalise glares and jumps up and grabs the demon's hand and tries to rip it open. She's thrown into a wall and she screams.
Drakon attacks the demon while it's focused on Annalise and Sinbad is freed. Sinbad, Annalise and Drakon attack the demon all together and keep it busy. The woman was shocked to see this happening. Hina throws the harpoon and it hits its mark. Annalise stares in shock. Sinbad gets his sword back as the woman had jumped down. Annalise drops to her knees, beside the boy, from being a little in pain from being thrown into the wall.
The others wake up and the boy looks at her and Drakon who sat beside her. Annalise screams when the boy begins rising into the air as the dark Rukh starts creating the demon from the boy.

"Annalise! Get back!" Sinbad says.
"No! I want to help him with you. We are stronger together!" Annalise says and Sinbad nods, "He's only just a child and I might not be his mother, but I want to act as one. He's so young, he needs guidance and he needs love." Sinbad stares at her and he draws Baal while he holds onto Annalise with the arm that has Baal in it. Sinbad stabs his hand into the kid and Annalise grabs his arm as she subconsciously gets transported too.
Sinbad and Annalise awake and find themselves floating towards the kid's subconscious. They notice memories pop up in front of them. Baal starts talking to Sinbad and Annalise gasps.
"Sin, look." Annalise says. They arrive to find a boy crying while the current kid was yelling at him.
"Quit your crying and shut your mouth, loser!" The kid yells, "You are so pathetic!"
"I don't want this anymore, I just want to go home." The crying version says.
"Go home?! Don't you remember we killed our parents?! We were raised as assassins and to prove ourselves we had to kill our parents!" The kid yells and then starts crying as he thinks about it. Sinbad and Annalise learn his name and Annalise walks towards the kid known as Jafar.
"So, this is what you've been hiding." Annalise says as Sinbad walks behind her. She stops and gently hugs both versions of Jafar.
"We can't fully understand what you went through, but that said, if you don't have a home, Annalise and I will provide one for you." Sinbad says as he pats both version of Jafar's head.
"You don't have to live a life of lies any longer. Any time you need to cry, come to me. I'll be there for you like a mother." Annalise says, "Now that we are in each other's lives." Annalise looks at the current Jafar while Sinbad looks at the other Jafar. They both stare with gentle eyes.
They are shown in the real world and Annalise holds onto Sinbad's arm as she whimpers from using too much Magoi that she barely had.
"Fight it Jafar! You are stronger than this!" Annalise says. She grabs Jafar while Sinbad grabs Jafar's arm. Lightning hits all three of them as Sinbad holds Annalise tighter.
"Stay with us! We aren't going to let you go!" Sinbad says. In Jafar's subconscious, the two versions of him merge together. Jafar sees Annalise and Sinbad and he returns to normal as the darkness fades away and is replaced by light.

"Hey, are you alive?" Sinbad asks as Jafar falls to his knees. Annalise falls to her knees as well. Jafar starts crying and he cries against Annalise's lap. Annalise smiles with gentle eyes as she rubs his back gently. The group laughs as the two guys and Drakon scold Jafar for worrying them. Hina congrats Sinbad and Annalise for a job well done in saving Jafar.
'Hmm, he might be the King's Candidate, but she is just as strong as he is. She is just as capable as he is. They both reached into the darkness and brought back the boy. They are definitely not normal.' Valefor's thoughts say.
Valefor transforms into his powerful form and tells the group that the King's Candidate may come forward now. Annalise looks at Sinbad while everyone does too and Hina pushes Sinbad.
"Guess it's me." Sinbad says.
"I hereby acknowledge you, Sinbad, as my sovereign king!" Valefor says.
The group is transported outside and Annalise shivers.
"It's freezing out here!" Annalise says.
The tribe shows up to help them and Sinbad and Annalise chase after Drakon.
"Wait up!" Sinbad says.
"Where do you think, you are going?" Annalise asks.
"We formed another truce in the Dungeon but you two and I are still enemies. There is no reason to continue to being friends." Drakon says.
"Oh really?" Sinbad asks and Annalise places her hand on Drakon's shoulder.
"Good luck saving her. I have complete faith in you." Annalise says.
"Annalise." Drakon says with wide eyes as he stares at her. She giggles as she drops her hand and turns to walk towards Sinbad.
"I expect you two to be together the next time we meet." Drakon says.
"Excuse me?" Annalise asks and turns to punch him, but Sinbad grabs her by the waist. Annalise growls angrily as she tries to fight Drakon and he simply walks away as Sinbad was holding her.
"Hey! What are you doing to Annalise?!" Jafar says.
"Nothing." Sinbad says.
"You better not die Drakon!" Annalise says.
"Let's go home!" Sinbad says as he grabs some of his Gold. The tribe watches in shock as Annalise carries two bags herself.
At the Village, Hina receives his warrior name of Hinahoho. The village cheers and Sinbad smiles. Annalise giggles as Jafar blushes as she wasn't letting him go. They have another festival and everyone cheers. Annalise dances while Jafar sits by himself. Sinbad makes him join the party and he stares shocked. They get a boat and Annalise waves as they leave Imuchakk. This was where everyone who decided to follow Sinbad belonged.
Annalise heads into the captain's quarter's where Sinbad was goofing off and laughing with Hinahoho. She crosses her arms and Hinahoho looks at her, gets up and leaves.
"What's wrong with you? We have a great team." Sinbad says.
"Yes, I'm glad we have friends, but..." She says and blushes.
"Hmm?" Sinbad asks.
"I'm tired of everyone calling me your girlfriend when it's not true." She whispers with a blush.
"Well, I'll just make you my Queen of the new land then." Sinbad says and she looks at him shocked.
"What do you mean by that?" She asks. He walks over to her.
"You are my oldest friend and I care deeply about you a lot. Stay by my side, forever." Sinbad says as he places his hand on her cheek. She blushes as he smiles at her.
"I've already made that choice." She says and looks away. He smiles at her as she blushes. A butterfly thing flies from Baal as Sinbad looks at her. It flies to the bracelet that Annalise has worn since Baal gave her the new outfit. The Djinn symbol appears and Annalise continues to blush as she looked away from Sinbad.
"I am quite angry that Drakon didn't come with us. He's going to get himself killed." She says.
"Well, he's a member of our kingdom. He'll be fine." Sinbad says.
"What does that even mean?" She asks.
"Members of a King's Candidate's household has their ownpower, they are protected by the King and are considered trusted advisors." Avoice says and Sinbad looks down at Valefor, "Baal has granted you a power.You'll never believe where it is." Annalise looks at herself. She blinks andthen look over at the sword.

Dreams or Another World - Not a Zero (Update 09/19/21)
(Updated 09/19/21) Hello and welcome. If you made it this far and the book title sounds interesting, I'm hoping you'll read a few chapters. Here's a sample from chapter 1 of "Dreams or Another World - Not a Zero."Slowly starting to wake up, I become aware. It's like coming out of a fog.Head hurts.Body hurts.There's a conversation in the room. This isn't my bed. Someone is touching my arm. I crack my eyes to look. She doesn't notice. Is she praying for me? Her hands do feel good…do feel... Slipping back unconscious, my eyes slowly close. I didn't notice the soft green glow under Jenn’s hands.*******************"It does look like he saved them or at least stalled them long enough for us to get there." says the man dressed more like a park ranger than an officer of the law. "I did think he was part of it at first" he continues "but the evidence shows he wasn't there and they were certainly fighting on that back road where we found them""I don't care who he is." says a woman as she enters the room. "He saved and protected my Jenn. I will make sure there's not a mark or a scar on him before he leaves". As she continues the few steps over to the men speaking, even though dressed simply in common clothes, there is no doubt the race of elves is in her heritage. The grace and lines of her form. The elegance and lightness of her step. She glances at her daughter, still watching over the young man in the bed. "Do we know who he is yet?" she asks no one in particular."Not yet dear" a man in a white coat responds. A handsome middle-aged man. Fit, but not that of a fighter or ranger. "I asked Talon to bring another identification stone with him. I was hoping ours was just broke, but it's reading the same.""What do you think is wrong?" Talon asks."I'm thinking we just have to wait until he recovers. I have heard of cases where the stone didn't work. Powerful spells can hide or wipe a person clean. I doubt he's a spy or a criminal. Spells like that are just too high level if, they're used at all. My best guess is, there is just some disconnect with him being unconscious. When he wakes, we can ask him or use the stone again then."I find myself waking up in a hospital bed. The attending Doctor finds it odd that he cannot identify my class. An Officer says I’m a Hero for saving a girl from being kidnapped, but he’s asking too many questions for my liking. I know an accusing tone when I hear it. I don’t remember any of it and I need to find my way home.Author’s notes. Original work. First draft and update of chapters 1-16. Inspired by various fantasy games and books. Written with a focus on character development and interaction. Combat, progression, leveling, classes, but no numbers or stats. I’ll try to keep the language clean, PG-13, no smut. I’m in the US, writing in English. Almost fifty chapters are completed as I pen this introduction. I intend to complete this story or at least bring it to a proper ending. I have a destination in mind. I find as I write, doors and ideas open, while others close and are discarded. The tentative release schedule will be once a week. I'm new to creating. My apologies now while I learn. I have not settled on a book cover or artwork, still looking for something that fits. Registered & Protected #20VjeKDv2U6nynW6

Summary Alexander Weiss, an intelligent and slightly unusual man, always dreamt of becoming a mage. Sadly, reality is harsh and even his best efforts never allowed him to achieve his goal during his lifetime... or did they? One has to be careful what they wish for, lest they might live to see it fulfilled. Description Follow Alex, a man whose pursuit of magic could not even be stopped by his non-magical reality, going as far as to create it himself, only to encounter an unsurmountable obstacle shortly before achieving his lifes goal, denying him all access to these powers. His journey will take him through a miraculous world, full of wonders, magic and manic beasts trying to devour him! He will learn much about this world during his adventures, exploring individual aspects of the System and the various monsters that came from it... or did they? Strong points What you'll get from this novel is the following (read with overly enthusiastic salesman-voice) : • An ending! I'll complete it, no matter what. Well, not "no matter what", but as long as I don't unexpectedly end, this novel won't either! • Good grammar! Might not be perfect, but it's definitely good enough to not detract from the story in the slightest. I'll also fix any reported mistakes as soon as possible, be they grammatical, syntactical or just inconsistencies. • No plot-armor! Or plot-weapons! Or plot-... potions? And no plot-holes! If you see some, it's most likely information that is being witheld for future revelations! But in the (hopefully) very unlikely case of such a vile beast being encountered, please inform me immediately and I'll see to slaying it without grace! (Translation: If you see plot-holes, tell me and I'll fix them) • Logic! [Hidden : Spoilers][Hidden : More Spoilers] [Moved to Chapter [Hidden Spoiler]'s Author's Note] Marvelous, I know! • Blue Boxes! And maybe something more! • Sensible retroactive edits! Not to be confused with radioactive edits! You'll not have to re-read previous chapters, even if they get some major edits. If they were to receive new information, I'll add that very information to the newly released chapters too, in a reasonable way. • Realism! Shocking, I know! Especially considering the tag related to that and the point about "Logic!". This also means that the story will be... well, realistically depicting a pretty messed up world. Don't expect bunnies... at least not cute ones. • Relatively faster paced! No long and boring descriptions of irrelevant stuff. There will be some longer descriptions about important things, but that's gonna be necessary world- and/or character-building! • Short action! Might not be a plus for some, but you won't have to look at a whole (or, god forbit, multiple) chapter describing a fight against the same enemy... • Strategy and hard progression! It's a dog-eat-dog world! No grinding/power-creep! If you're up against three enemies of your level at once, you've already lost! • Understanding! It will be mostly about discovering the wonders of this new world and how it became like that, all while trying to survive. So there will be enough action nonetheless! • Humor! Sometimes dark, sometimes light, always at the worst moment! • Constructive critics, welcome! Destructive critics, nope... I can handle criticism though, so don't go easy on me! Just make sure it's really a mistake when complaining about something. • Will add more in the future! If I can think of more stuff...
