《Sinbad: High King of the Seas》Chapter 9: "Sasan, Land of Purity!"
Advertisement
Hinahoho stares out that the ocean. He looks back at Sinbad and Annalise.
"Look! We're just about there, Sinbad!" Hinahoho says and Sinbad nods. He was looking more and more like a Captain of a ship while Annalise stood beside him wearing a beautiful dress. Sinbad teased her and said she was a pirate princess. She simply yelled at him and told him that they weren't pirates and he laughs.
They arrive and Hinahoho and Jafar stand together while Sinbad and Annalise stare at the top of the stairs.
"This must be Sasan Kingdom here." Hinahoho says looking at a map, "So we'll have to pass through these mountains on foot. What kind of business do you think we can do with them?"
"Well, there are known for their minerals. The Kingdom of Sasan produces some of the world's finest metals." Jafar says, "But they've always bard their doors and refuse to trade with other countries. I think they are changing their policy though because they started trading with Reim." Sinbad drinks something from a drink pouch then he passes it to Annalise who takes it then has a drink.
"If we can make it there before others, and figure out a good working trade route... we can make huge profits!" Jafar says.
"I dunno. It's a long time to be gone. Will it be okay to rely on the others to take care of the Sindria Trading Company there?" Hinahoho says.
"Rurumu can handle anything that's thrown at her." Annalise says.
"But she's gotta take care of the baby." Hinahoho says.
"They'll be fine. I had to come because as the head of the company I have to be the face!" Sinbad says.
"And what about Annalise?" Jafar asks.

"Annalise hasn't left my side since we first met. I'm quite protective over her and I'm worried that if I don't watch her she'll be taken from me." Sinbad says and hugs Annalise who stares at their two friends with a blank expression on her face.
"I feel like you are just saying that because you want to go on an adventure." Hinahoho says and the group laughs. They make it up the mountain pass and everyone stares in shock at the Kingdom of Sasan.
"That's the summit, we made it. The Kingdom of Sasan, the Land of Purity!" Sinbad says and Annalise looks at him with a small smile.
The group heads into the entrance to the kingdom and they look around with wide eyes.
"The Kingdom of Sasan is a city-state with built in deep ravines. Sasan is also a very religious country with devout faith in an ancient God. But any business done with the outside world is considered tainted and is therefore, forbidden. That is how it became known as the Land of Purity."
The group looks around at people who start to run from them because there are impure. They are spoken to by a guy wearing armor and taken to a guy who does the accepting and rejecting.
"Before we leave, please tell us how we can form a friendship with the Kingdom of Sasan, not as merchants, but loyal friends and comrades." Sinbad says confusing the guy, "I aim to understand everyone's culture. To respect their beliefs in many different countries all over the world. How can I accomplish that in your country? Please, don't hesitate to tell me."
They learn about the Sasan Knights, as they oversaw maintaining order. Sinbad nods and smiles while Annalise looks at him. They head to find the knights and Sinbad almost gets them killed. They try at the place the Knights sleep and they get shown away. They head to a tavern and Annalise glares at Sinbad from across the table while Jafar and Hinahoho sat on each side of the table.

"I underestimated how flexible the knights are." Sinbad says. Hinahoho and Sinbad drink while Annalise slaps Jafar's hand from the alcohol. Jafar pouts at her and she shakes her head causing the guys to laugh. Annalise sniffs the air then looks over.
"We're being watched." Annalise says and the guys look over. A boy looks around before sneaking over to them.
"How'd you see me?" He asks.
"I smelled you. Everyone here is a foreigner but you smell like the people who live here." Annalise says.
"It's weird how she does that." Hinahoho says.
The innkeeper finds him and she yells at him and reveals that he's the Knight-King's son.
"The son of the King!" Sinbad says.
"This is Mystras." The innkeeper lady says and scolds Mystras. Sinbad makes her fall for him by using his charm and Annalise glares angrily at him.
"Stop making a fool of yourself." Annalise says angrily.
After Mystras hears their stories, he leaves with Sinbad's autobiography. The next day, Mystras comes begging to leave with them. At first Sinbad was going to say no, but then he sees how passionate Mystras is about going. Annalise looks at Sinbad who sighs.
"Alright, fine." Sinbad says. Mystras's younger brother shows up and yells at Mystras for wanting to leave. Mystras simply states that he doesn't want to be King.
The next day, Hinahoho stretches while they head out. Sinbad stops when he senses something and he looks back at Yunan.
"Yunan!" Annalise says cheerfully.
"Yo!" Yunan says and kisses Annalise's hand respectively.
"You know this man?" Hinahoho asks.
"He's a good friend." Sinbad says.
"I can't believe it's been two years since we last saw you. It took us months to get to Imuchakk then we stayed there for a while." Annalise says.
"You've become quite beautiful." Yunan says.
"Stop flirting with her!" Sinbad says.
"Whoops I struck a nerve." Yunan says and laughs. Yunan tells them about other capturers arising and Sinbad and the others go to find Mystras. They find him challenging all the Knights then his father. Annalise stares as she watches in shock as Mystras loses.
"Stop right there!" Sinbad says and the fight stops.
