"Do you really need to go Oneechan?" Aladdin looked up at me in bidd pleading eyes. I wasn't sure how long I was in the Sacred Palace, but I needed to return to the world. Over the time I was that Aladdin and I grew close. I even convinced him to call me Oneechan. I was an otaku, and still sorta am.

"I have things I need to take care of," an organization to make suffer, "But I will see you again." I promised myself I would meet them in Balbadd. When that day came.

"You promise?" he pleaded, still hugging me, and burrying his face in my chest, as I was crouching to be about the same height as him. Honestly it would have seemed perverted, if it wasn't for, we were family, he was literally crying his heart out, and I lacked anything in that area.

"Pinky swear," I told him. He pulled out of his hug, and saw I was hold I up my pinky. He mimicked the hand position, and I locked out fingers. "I promise I will see you again." I told him. Behind both of us were the two djinns.

"Aladdin can we talk to Atiyah alone?" Ugo asked politely. We shared one more hug and then he ran off. "Remember what I told you about magic," Ugo reminded me. I had a special Rukh, as I was from Alma Torran. It couldn't easily be detected, but if I used it too much it could be. I was able to get magoi from the rukh around, so I would need to learn to use that and only that to cast spells.

"Of course," I nodded my head, "I also remember what you told me about how to come back here. I will only ever do it when it's nessicary, or if you tell me to do so. Btw, I'm great at charades." They looked at me confused. "It will make sense on time to come."

"Atiyah," Atelzca brought my attention to her. Shortly after I arrived, she made her presence known to my brother. "I will be returning with you." Now this surprised me. I was speechless. "You are my master. I don't even have a dungeon for someone to capture." She took two steps to stand in front of me.

"These were my swords on Alma Torran," She held it two sword, which shape was a mix between the blades in AOT and katanas. They did appear to be one, but would sperate into two. "Before I get a magic tool in place," she shrugged, "I want you to have them. I will reside here," she separated them slightly to see the eight-pointed star appear on the inside of the blade. "These will be my metal vessel. Call on me and I shall teach you the art of the swords. I will always be on your side Princess."

"Is that it?" I asked, eyeing Ugo. It seemed he was waiting for his turn. He lowered his hand to be infront of me. In his hand was two books, and a pen. I reached out and grabbed them.

"One is an old journal of mine from Alma Torran, I hope the notes will help you on your mission," Ugo explained, "The other is blank, for you to fill with what you please."

"Thank you!" I snag up to him. I could feel my eyes water, "I would hug you but you're so big! Never mind, I'm gonna try." I ran up to his ankle and wrapped my arms around it, didn't work well." I back away. The door I had entered through had appeared. "I guess this is goodbye," I turned back one last time, "Well for the time being." I took one last look at the Sacred Palace and left.

I was back on the ground. I looked around me. It was the dead of the night. Behind me stood a tall structure, a dungeon. The first dungeon. Bal's dungeon. I asked for Ugo to return me here. I needed to see Sin. I needed to decide something. I could follow him, learn as he dose, and confront Al Tharmen together, or I could go learn on my own, and keep phr destinies separate. I needed to see him to know.

I followed the rukh back home. They would always lead me to where I needed to go. I was in my village before the sun was up. I raced back to Sin's house. The sun was just starting to rise. Sin would always be up by then, so I just lightly pushed the door open and entered. Sin was no where to be found. There instead was Esra, asleep on the ground. I set all my stuff down, even my new sword. I went ocwr and felt Esra. She was extremely hot.

I ran around frantically. I found a pot of cool water, walked a rag in it and placed it on Esra's head. I then undressed her, and covered her in a blanket. I sat by her side as she continued to sleep. She woke up, eyes groggy from sleep and sickness. "Sin?" she asked. I guess blue could look like purple.

"It's me, Audria," I told her, grabbing one of her hands. "Rest, you need it."

"Sin left a week ago for the dungeon,"she told me in the dalirousbess of pain. "I told him to go, You both deserve better than this." I was helping her into some lighter clothing, and trying to think of how to lower her fever.

"Esra, Sin will come back," I assured her, helping her lie back down. "I swear on my life he will."

"Ady," she also was fond of that nickname, "I don't know of will be around when he returns... I wanted to give him this, but I'm sure it would just find it's way back to you. She garbbes my hand and slipped something into it. "Badr gave it to me." I opened my hand to find a ring, with a simple thick silver band, and an amethyst set in it.

"You will see your son again," I assured. Her. I took care of her for the next month. Soon I wasn't able to do much for her anymore, and got the help from fellow villagers. I still stayed by her side.

On the day he returned I wasn't around. Esra took a turn for the worst, and the lady sent me to get different things that she needed. I quickly returned with some medicine, to find Sin there, crying over his mother. I set down the medicine, grabbed my stuff and left. I'm not sure when, but I knew we needed to go separate ways. Our paths would cross again, but not yet. We both need to get stronger first, before we give room to more weaknesses.

Luckily the person I was looking for arrived with Sin. Yunan. he was easy to find, with the large mass of rukh around him. He appeared to be searching for me as well. I could even see the mass of small white birds around me. We made eye contact and remained silent. "You're Yunan, thr magi, right?" I asked him. I knew I was right, I just needed him to know that I knew.

"I am," he nodded, "You appear to be one as well. What might your name be?" he asked. He could never be taken as threatening.

"My name's Audria," I told him, "Can you teach me magic?" I looked at him with pleadinf eyes.

"Alright," he agreed. That night we both left, not even saying goodbye to Sin.
