《Sinbad: High King of the Seas》Chapter 41: "The King Zepar Spoke Of!"
Advertisement
Annalise wakes up a few moments later after the group gives her some water and some food. Of course, Sinbad had to force it down her throat for her. She looks up and finds Sinbad looking at her. He brushes some hair out of her face and she smiles at him.
"Hey." Sinbad says, "That was really reckless." Jafar begins scolding Annalise while Sinbad scolds her as well.
"What happened here?" A voice says and they look over to see the Torran chief.
"Ah, Torran Chief! These people are slave traders! Their target was your village, but we've captured them. Now the Torran people will be safe! We won't stand by and let a tragedy like slave trading occur!" Sharrkan says.
"You have my approval." The Chief says as Jafar and Sinbad scold Masrur and Sharrkan.
"Chief?" Jafar asks.
"Do not misunderstand. I still don't trust you completely... but you are different from other outsiders. Yes, I've got a feeling about you." The chief says.
"Thank you very much!" Sinbad says.
"Come on. The sun is setting you may stay in the village tonight." The Chief says and Sinbad and Jafar smile happily.
"Sin? What went on while we were gone?" Annalise asks.
"We asked them to let us protect them." Sinbad says.
"Of course." Annalise says.
"Let's go, Masrur." Jafar says as he holds his out to Masrur. Masrur slowly take it. Annalise and Masrur stare out at the dark continent.
"The dark continent... the land where our people once lived... We never set foot here again... goodbye, homeland of the Fanalis." Annalise says as she places her head on Masrur's head.
"People of the Torran Village, thank you all for your help." Jafar says and bows respectfully.

"What are you saying? You are the ones who helped us. But are you sure you would like to leave them for us to deal with?" The chief asks.
"Yes, they require and appropriate punishment. It was your lives they were after. I'll leave their punishment to you." Sinbad says.
"I understand." The chief says and Sinbad takes Annalise's hand before the two turn to leave, "Sinbad... We, the Torran people, approve of this 'world without conflict' that you wish to create. It's very nostalgic... I am happy that someone with the same ideals as our god has finally appeared."
"God? Could you be referring to the almighty ruler who once created an actual utopia?" Sinbad asks.
"Huh?" Annalise asks.
"Oh? You're quite knowledgeable." Chief says.
"We learned about him the Knight-King of Sasan. Only, it seems to be but an ancient legend and the name of that God has been lost over time." Sinbad says.
"I see... So those memories have faded to that extent in the world outside our village... to have forgotten his name..." The chief says.
"Is that not the case here?" Sinbad asks.
"The Torran People possess a vast library of books and lithographs handed down from ancient times. Our language is just one artifact. We still remember the name of that god. He was the great king that ruled Alma Torran. The one and only 'god'... King Solomon." The Chief says.
"King... Solomon?" Sinbad asks.
"Thank you very much. I'm glad that we could learn his name." Annalise says.
"If you're curious, you're welcome to return here to investigate. We would be happy to assist at your request." Chief says.
"Yes, thank you." Sinbad says.
"Um... Jafar?" Sharrkan asks, "What'll happen to those slave traders we caught? It didn't seem like they'd be handed over to officials, so what about their punishment?"

"Don't worry about it... it has nothing to do with you." Jafar says.
'The world is still full of injustice... But... at least... Annalise is free from the injustice that set her on this path.' Sinbad's thoughts say.
"Annalise?" Sinbad asks.
"Yes?" Annalise asks.
"The reason you were running and staying with me... afraid that you'll fall back into slavery... the papers are all gone." Sinbad says, "You can go anyone you wish. Do anything you wish to do."
"Really?" Annalise asks.
"Yes." Sinbad asks.
"Well, that was already decided wasn't it?" Annalise asks and Sinbad looks at her, "I decided I wanted to be your wife. So, how about when we get back to Balbadd? We marry?"
"Uh... So soon?!" Sinbad asks as he blushes.
"You already treat me like I'm your wife. So why not?" Annalise says.
"I... Are you sure?" Sinbad asks.
"Yes, I told you that already." Annalise says, "And especially after last night..." She blushes and Sinbad's cheeks turn bright red too.
"I well... that was... um... Then let's do it!" Sinbad says.
"What are you two talking about up there?" Jafar asks and Annalise giggles.
"Don't worry your little head." Annalise says.
"If it involves, Sin, it can't be good." Jafar says.
"It's especially good!" Sinbad says.
"They are getting married when we return back to Balbadd." Masrur says.
"What?!" Sharrkan asks shocked.
"Masrur!" Annalise says and he stares blankly.
'We might have a small glimmer of happiness. But what does that say to everyone out there? Innocent people are suffering, hunted down, and treated as commodities... I won't forgive that. I have to change it... with my own two hands.' Sinbad's thoughts say.

The Portals of Albion
Portals to other worlds. Siblings with a secret. A world in need of magic. Zach is haunted, scarred by his time spent in a place that might as well have been hell. Zara, his sister, even more so. After years of torturous experiments, they were finally rescued. But the years since then haven’t been easy. Both siblings just want a break, something to take their minds from the past. The portals that appeared all over the world a hundred years ago are the key. The reason behind years of captivity now holds the answer to their problems. For the second time in his life, Zack awakens as a ‘Traveler’. Someone possessing the ability to pass through these portals and venture into the mystic realms. What begins as a fresh start soon attracts the attention of nobles and those with less savory intentions. When you have known nothing but distrust for those in power, what would you do to remain in control of your life? I will be uploading new chapters on Tuesday and Saturday each week at 4pm Mountain Standard Time. (The story has been described as X-men meets Narnia. Which while not entirely accurate, is still a fun way of looking at it.) (Note: As with my other stories, this one focuses more on the characters than on constant action. The Lite-LitRPG and Gamelit elements are introduced into the story gradually.) Author's Note: This is my raw, mostly unedited text. I am using RR to test out this story as I'm writing it to get a feel for how the published and edited copy will be received. Certain sections of the story will be changed or added to when I publish it as well.
