"We're grateful that the heads of our company is back safely!" A girl says.
"Are you injured anywhere my lord and lady?" A guy asks.
"this is made from medicinal herbs that are good for your health. Please drink it. No, no please have some meat first to get back your stamina. Lord Sinbad!" People say.
"CALM DOWN, YOU GUYS! You think we can eat all of this?" Sinbad asks.
"Everyone was worried about you two. So quit your complaining and eat." Jafar says.
"But there's so much..." Sinbad says and he looks at Annalise who had been very quiet since they got on the boat.
"SIN! I'm so glad you're okay you two!" Vittel says crying.
"Welcome back, Sinbad." Mytras says.
"Mytras, Parasine." Sinbad says. They learn that everyone worked hard.
"That's right. Everyone did." A familiar voice says.
"Drakon!" Sinbad says.
"Long time no see... is what I'd to say, but you're far too reckless making all those who follow you go through so many hardships. Don't you think that's a bit shameful?" Drakon asks.
"Sorry." Sinbad says.
"It's alright, Lord Sinbad." Drakon says.
"He was running around just as much as everyone else. I think he was very worried for you." Sahel says, "Desperately trying to figure out something he could do to help save you two."
"Lady Sahel, that's—" Drakon says.
"It's true, isn't it? There's no need to be embarrassed." Sahel says and Sinbad smiles. Drakon and Sahel gets dragged away for some business. Sinbad looks over at Annalise. She was wearing a new outfit that the group had found for her. He takes her hand and she looks up at him from looking down at her hands on her lap.
"Are you alright?" Sinbad asks, "You've been quiet again." She nods as she looks down again.

"That isn't reassuring." Sinbad says and just before Annalise could say something Pipirika, Rurumu and Hinahoho come in with the little ones.
"It's good that you're back safely." Rurumu says as she was angry.
"Yeah." Sinbad says.
"Did you know that I served as the acting head of the company during your absences?" Rurumu asks.
"Yes." Sinbad says.
"Well, then you know just what I want to say to you, don't you? I heard about everything from Jafar. About what happened on Ria Venus Island. And what you did there... everything." Rurumu says.
"I see." Sinbad says.
"Don't misunderstand. I don't blame you. However, I wanted you to have faith in all of us... without having to start such a dangerous rebellion. At least... for Jafar's sake. He worked harder than any of us to make things right." Rurumu says as Annalise looks over at Jafar trying to get Vittel to stop crying.
"Vittel, calm down." Jafar says as Vittel sniffles.
"Yeah." Sinbad says.
"That's it for your lecture. With a face like that, you won't set a good example for the children." Rurumu says.
"Huh?" Sinbad asks.
"Come in, everyone." Rurumu says and some remaining children shuffle into the room.
"Sinbad, Annalise, thank you for freeing us from slavery. You helped our friends return to their homes and to search for their real families so that they could be reunited with them. We're all very grateful for your help." A boy says, "but those of us who are left are orphans with no home or family to return to. We finally gained our freedom... but we have no idea what to do now. What should we do, Sinbad?"
"These children have been worrying. We've already done all we could do for them as a company. The rest is up to you, Lord Sinbad." Rurumu says.

"Everyone, thank you for believing in me and going along with my plans. Also, I'm sorry...I got you all caught up in my fate, and then I ended up forcing you to be responsible for choosing your own futures. But just becoming free probably doesn't make that an easy choice... If that's the case... won't you become... citizens of my country? We of Sindria Trading company are creating alliances with various countries, expanding our trading, and will eventually build our own country. My goal is to rid the world of conflict and to save all the people forced to endure injustice. I want to save all of you, too. That's why I'll build a country... So, please... join my country." Sinbad says and Annalise's eyes widen as she watches the Ruhk fly around Sinbad again, "Let's build it together. A place for everyone to call home."
"Thank you." The boy says.
"I'll be counting on you." Sinbad says with a smile.
"Please wait a moment now. In all actuality, we're still just a company, so that would make all of you employees of Sindria Trading company." Rurumu says.
"That's okay. These guys were working for Maader. So they should be able to read and write and even do some calculations." Sinbad says, "Right?" He looks over when Annalise gets up and walks away.
"Annalise?" Sinbad asks.
"What about him?" The kids ask.
"Now that you mention it, where did Masrur go?" Sinbad asks.
Masrur stares out at the city. He hears something and he looks over in shock to find Annalise standing on the roof behind him.
"I guess I'm not the only one feeling a little overwhelmed." Annalise says.
"A-Annalise." Masrur says. Annalise sits down beside him.
"What are you up here for?" Annalise asks.
"You two brought me here... but besides fighting there's nothing I can do." Masrur says. His eyes widen as Annalise pulls him into a side hug.
"You can do whatever you wish. You are free." Annalise says as she soothes his hair, "You know, Masrur... When I first saw you, I felt... like I knew you."
"You... look like my aunt." Masrur says and Annalise looks at Masrur.
"Your aunt?" Annalise asks.
"I don't have many memories, but I remember her. She was my father's sister. She always had this sadness about her..." Masrur says and Annalise's eyes widen in shock.
"My parents... are still out there?" Annalise asks.
"We were all separated. My parents were killed and they kept all the children. Easier to brainwash I suppose." Masrur says.
"So, they could be dead..." Annalise says.
"But... you could be my cousin." Masrur says, "Why do you follow Sinbad? Where's your pride?"
"I follow him, because he saved me when I was little. Over the years, I've fallen in love with him." Annalise says as she closes her eyes before she opens them as she looks up, "I realized after a while... that he's the man I want to spend my life with."
"He's a weirdo." Masrur says and Annalise giggles.
"Bite your tongue. He did save you young man." Annalise says.
"Sorry." Masrur says, "I've noticed you only speak to me or the children. Why won't you speak to your friends?"
"Truth is... I'd like to discuss somethingprivate with Sinbad... but no one is letting us out of their sights... so it'simpossible." Annalise says as she sighs.
