"You're almost slower with her. Put her down so I can kill her!" The Queen says.
"I won't let you do that. I'll never let anyone harm Annalise! Garufor Zairu!" Sinbad says and attacks with ice as he holds Annalise tightly. She blushes as she keeps her head against his neck. The Ice is stopped and the Queen reveals that she controls three elements in her transformed form. She attacks with Fire and Sinbad deflects but they are both thrown to the ground. Sinbad and Annalise stare shocked at the Queen who went to attack them again. Just before it hits Sinbad moves them both. Sinbad reveals they are alright and shocks the Queen.
"We aren't dead yet." Sinbad says.
"That scared me." Annalise says as she looks at the Queen. The Queen goes to use three attacks into one and Sinbad stops her. The Queen keeps attacking and Annalise doesn't question how they can dodge the attacks.
"I don't like beating women, but this can't go on much longer. Garufor Kirestal!" Sinbad says and freezes the Queen.
'The first man to ever... defeat me.' The Queen's thoughts say.
Annalise looks at the Queen and then back at Sinbad.
"And you said slapping me was going too far." Annalise says.
"You kind of did." Sinbad says.
The next day, the Queen is calm down and Annalise stands closely to Sinbad who really wished to protect her. They head to speak with the Queen.
"Why are we going to go talk to her? She hates me." Annalise says.
"To be fair, you did slap her." Sinbad says.
"You slapped the Queen?" Jafar asks.
"She was being highly rude to me and Sinbad. I don't regret it." Annalise says.
"What exactly did she say?" Mystras asks.
"She's been completely rude to all of you since we arrived." Annalise says.
"What if we are executed?" Mystras asks.
"Did you two ever find Hinahoho?" Annalise asks.
"No, we were too busy watching the fight." Jafar says. They arrive to find the Queen getting a spa treatment. Annalise rolls her eyes as she stood near Sinbad.

"So? Do you still wish to kill my best friend?" Sinbad asks.
"No, it is clear she has won." The Queen says, "I accomplished what I wished to and she should be grateful." The Queen stands up facing away from them.
"Accomplished what? Making a fool of yourself?" Annalise says.
"Annalise!" Sinbad says.
"I accomplished helping you get answers." The Queen says and Annalise's eyes widen as she remembered Sinbad's words during the fight.
"You have an amazing man there. If I were you, I'd make sure no one snatches him up." The Queen says and licks her lips. Annalise looks away and gulps.
"But we'll give you a trading agreement." The Queen says, "You know Sinbad, I don't want you as an enemy."
Sinbad and the Queen discuss terms of their agreement then the Queen talks to them about a girl in Reim who is a Magi.
"Magi?" Annalise asks.
"What is a Magi?" Mystras asks.
"A Magi is a legendary person. They appear during crucial times in history to guide the lives of many and enlighten the world. They are a powerful sorcerer of creation with a special calling of selecting a king. They have powers beyond any human understanding. When they swing their wand, a tower appears where the King's power is stored." The Queen says. Sinbad and Annalise exchange a look as they both picture Yunan in their mind.
"What kind of person is a Magi?" Annalise and Sinbad ask in unison before looking back at each other before then looking at the Queen.
"They are mysterious. But if I were guess they are loved by the Rukh." The Queen says and they nod, "So let's form that alliance."
The group leaves the Queen and Annalise grabs Sinbad's hand before he can go help the others find Hinahoho.
"Go on without us." Sinbad says and Jafar and Mystras nod. They walk away and Sinbad looks at Annalise who looked at the ground.
"What do you mean you won't let anyone hurt me?" Annalise whispers.

"Eh? I mean I'm always going to protect you. You are my best friend." Sinbad says.
"Am I just your friend though?" Annalise asks. Sinbad looks at her as he saw she was blushing. He puts one hand on her waist and lifts her chin up with his other hand.
"For now..." Sinbad says and smiles at her. She stares at him with a deep blush, moments before he closes the gap between them and pulls completely away a few seconds later. Annalise stares shocked at him as the others arrive with Hinahoho and they nag him for being with the ladies. Annalise gets tears in her eyes.
"Hi, Annalise, hi Sinbad. I'm a good boy. I'm a good boy." Hinahoho says as he repeats that repeatedly.
Sinbad and Mystras talk about the Red-Light district and the two head off running.
"SINBAD!" Annalise says angrily.
"Relax. They'll be surprised." Hinahoho says.
"Ah, you got a tour, didn't you?" Annalise asks.
"Yep, sure did." Hinahoho says.
The next day they are introduced to the girl that will become their agent of the alliance. Sinbad and Mystras stand feeling depressed as they got cheated out of beautiful women. Annalise rolls her eyes.
"Serves you right." Annalise says. The Queen comes to see them off and they meet the Queen's young daughters and one walks over and grabs onto Annalise and Sinbad. She stares up at them and Annalise gasps.
"SO, CUTE!" Annalise says scaring all the guys. The little girl puts something in their hair and Annalise pick the little girl up as she was thoroughly in love with the little girl's cuteness. Sinbad laughs.
"No, you can't keep her." Sinbad says, "We've already got a few strays." He motions at Jafar and the others and Annalise giggles as she passes the little girl to the Queen. The group leave after waving goodbye and Sinbad holds Annalise tightly as they ride on the bird.
The group is taken to the boat and they return to Reim so they can drop the girl off. The workers were happy to see Annalise and Sinbad.
"We need to see Rurumu." Sinbad says.
"She's on her last month of pregnancy." A worker says. They go to talk to Vittel instead then the group has a banquet to welcome the new members of the group.
"Sindria Company will continue to expand! Let's work for our future!" Sinbad says. Everyone cheers.
The party goes late into the night and Annalise heads out onto the balcony upstairs to relax. She sighs and Sinbad joins her.
"We sure have come a long way." Sinbad says.
"Yeah, we aren't kids anymore." Annalise says.
"No, we aren't. Look, what I meant by just friends for now is that I want us to change the world before we make any final decisions." Sinbad says.
"Sinbad, I know. I'm okay with that. I'll stay by your side forever." She says as she takes his hand. He nods as he kisses her cheek close to her mouth causing her to blush deeply. Jafar comes outside to find Annalise blushing.
"What's going on out here?" Jafar asks.
"Nothing!" Sinbad says in a sing song voice.
"Sindria Trading Company has come a long way. It's because of all those wonderful people we've met." Annalise says and Sinbad nods as he looks at her. Sinbad remembers everything the two have been through and he sighs.
"I feel like there's a great force that's drawing us together. I can see it. I know where we are going." Sinbad says as future allies and enemies are shown.
'I'm special.' Sinbad's thoughts say. They were only sixteen. Destiny swept him and those around him. The world was about to face an unexpected change in the future.
