"I like you," I told the guy. The two looked at me with a bit of surprise and confusion. Once Jamiya processed what I said, she let out a little squeel and gave me a hug. We just found a possible member of the AR. He was a discharged member of the military. He had stood up against the economic downfall, which lead to his discharge. I met him, and he seemed to be determined to make the world a better place.

"Is there a reason to all of this?" Hasim asked us. The entire day we have been bothering him. For hours I would ask him questions, about his past, beliefs, and anything I felt I would need to know. We had just finished a duel. He was a good adversary, but I could still beat him, only because I had magic. That was too, I wouldn't need to train him, just get him the proper magic tools.

"I'm Audria," I finally got around to telling him my name. "Can you trust me?" That was the last thing I needed to be sure about. I couldn't have anyone join in that didn't trust me.

"If Jamiya dose, I do too," he nodded. I felt there was something between the two, but I didn't bother questioning.

"The I'd like your help protect in this world from Al Tharmen," I told him. I wasn't scared of anyone over hear in us. Everyone was outside the palace, while we were in a baren street in the slums.

"What's Al Tharmen?" he questioned. The average person didn't know about it, and it took time to believe in. But I coild feel he will sooner or later.

"It's more commonly known as, The Orginization," I explained, "They force this world into deprevity and choas. They manipulate others into doing their bidding. They are the cause of abnormalities in tho world, in hope of destroying it. I created another organization to protect the world from them, we call it Atiyah's Rift. I want you to join."

Hasim just started laughing, "Do you think I'm crazy?" he snapped at us.

"Hasim, I am part of it," Jamiya told him, "Jamin was part of it too. He died protecting this world. You see what is happening to our country, this is all because of Al Tharmen. You know that what is happening here is not normal. Even if you don't believe in Al Tharmen, we help those who need it."

"Jamin was part of this?" Hasim questions, with mixed emotions on all of this. "He died for your stupid crusade."

"I wish you wouldn't have brought up your twin," I sighed, directed to Jamiya. "But yes he was. I never asked for h to give his life, I never wanted anyone in this crusade to die. Sadly there is no changing fate. I still am entirely greatful for what he did to help me." He stayed silent, watching me in confusion. I looked to the castle, seeing a small flow of black rukh, it was about time for it to show up.

"I have one last thing to sway your mind," I informed him. I knew his heart was already in it. I put my Han to his chest, and passed a bit of my rukh into him. I watched his face light up as he could we the rukh. "Look to the palace," I told him. His head shifted, bringing his gaze with it. "You see how all the rukh is white, except for that one line of black." He nodded his hand, and I removed his hand, and the rukh slowly disappeared from his vision. "Black rukh is utilized by Al Tharmen. With the presence of that much can only mean they are here."

"What do I need to do to help?" he asked with a serious look on his face.

I felt bad need in to rush Hasim through everything, but we were in a dire time. I left him with Jamiya to finish what needed to be done. While I was following the rukh to Aladdin. I was dressed in green, as I preferred to fight in it. The scarf only hung around my neck though. I was waiting for him to man his appearance.

He finally showed up, the dark magi, Judar. I pulled out my sword, ready to fight. I was wait in for him to make a move before I made my enterance. He reached his hand out to Aladdin, that was my time to move. I jumped off the roof, and took my mark. My feet slammed into his face before his hand found with my brother's face. "All of you get out of here!" I yelled back at them. I could feel them all become confused.

"Oneechan?" Aladdin whispered, gripping onto the sleeve of my free hand. I shook it off.

"I was wondering when you would make your entrance," Judar laughed, "I was just was just waiting to the little pet to make an appearance." No one was leaveing the area. I needed to stall this fight for as long as I could.

"Hey what kind of stalker would I be if I didn't know where you were?" I smirked. He would compair me to a stalker the first times we met.

"Yeah, yeah," he shrugged me off, "I'll deal with you later, but I wanted to have a fight with that little twerp behind you. Cause unlike you wannabe, he's an actual magi." I had the same exact ability given to Magi's because I was loved by the rukh, but Judar refused to accept me as a Magi. It was because I was older than him, if I was a magi that would make him the extra, well one of the extras.

"Don't you dare touch him," I hissed up at him. I felt Aladdin step to be by my side. "Aladdin," I whispered at him, tell in him to get back behind me.

"It's fine," he told me and pulled out his staff. He held it in a similar way I was holding my sword. I'm sure we were not glaring at Judar with the same expression.

He didn't care that there were two of us, and started attacking. He skipped right to the ice, instead of pure magoi from what happened in the world wothout me. I summomd an invisible barrier around the bystandards. While Aladdin protected us in a brog. The ice that met my barrier shattered on impacts. While the ones that hit the Borg pished us back a bit.

"Aladdin, I got this, just go to Alibaba and Morg and stay out of this," I too him, as the Borg shartted, and I reflected the ice with my sword.

"You shouldn't fight alone Oneechan," he told me. He put aww his staff, and garbbed his flute. I reached over to stop him, but it was too late, he had called out Ugo. Judar stopped attacking in surprise. I took the time too attack, I ran at him, pushing him to the ground. I pointed my sword in his face, while I stepped on his wrist to stop him from casting spells.

At least I though I did. One moment I was glaring at the magi under my feet, the next I slammed into the barrier I had put up. I slid Dow to the ground, and stop back up, feeling a bit dizzy. I started to attack, only to stop. There was Ugo stabbed in the chest with a giant iceicle. I was taking on Judar so Ugo wouldn't disappear, but I guess somethings I really couldn't change. I pur way my sword, knowing Ugo could take it from there.

I went over to the terror stricken Aladdin, and sat my hand o. his head. I shrunk my barrier to only surround the dark magi and Djinn as Ugo prepared his last attack. "Ugo!" Aladdin cried out. I restricted him as he tried to run to him. Tears were falling down both our faces.

"He'll be alright," I assured Aladdin right before the barrier was visible from all the dust swirling around inside it. I let it down, and my borther and I rushed to the djinn's side. We could both feel the magoi leak from him. We both tried putting magoi into him, but it failed. I thought maybe because my actual magoi was different it could help. It couldn't. I then tried healing magic. That didn't help either. "Aladdin, call Ugo back," I told my brother. It might help. "I can protect him from here," I assure my friend.
