Magi: A Tale of a New Beginning

Scroll 6: Sindria

"I'm sorry, Alibaba. I couldn't do anything to help you." She replied in a somber tone. She was sitting outside his door with a frustrated look.

Soon, Alibaba woke up and heard her apologies. He could not answer her because he himself was so frustrated with what happened to his country.

"We couldn't do anything to help you." She sighed before going back towards the deck. Azami stared at the vast ocean when she felt her metal vessel heat up a little. It was then that she noticed a light from far afar. It was a weird shaped dungeon.

"Sitri, Furcas. Is that what I think it is?" She leaned towards the rail with an astonished look on her face. It was definitely another dungeon. It was in the middle of the ocean but there was something peculiar about it. Vines were protruding from outside it, creating a chalice shaped with a lid on top. Then a sun and moon shape insignia was build on top of it.

'Oh! That looks a little familiar! Let's go and visit that!' Furcas said with an excited smile. Sitri was blushing a little but one could see an equivalent smile that was plastered on her face.

"Who's dungeon is that?"

'You'll known soon, dear. Let's go!' Sitri assured her. She reluctantly nodded but looking back at the ship, it made her a little adamant not to leave. A feeling of frustration and sadness washed over her face but she knew she had to do this or she'll lose the opportunity to do so.

"Do you think we need to tell Sinbad and the others? And what about Setta, I can't leave him behind?"

'Just leave a letter and we'll be back before they know it. Don't tell them that you went to the dungeon. Just make up a story. I don't trust that Sindrian King. He look sly and cunning. Too radiant and I don't want our Azami to be sucked in.' Furcas growled a little before sending a reassuring hum with his metal vessel.

'We can ask Setta if he wants to join us.' Sitri suggested. Azami frowned. She was not sure because she didn't want to endanger his life.

"Azami-nee?" She looked behind to see Setta rubbing his eyes of sleepiness. It was too cute so to say. For a seven year-old, he was really something. She carried him before asking.

"I am leaving for a little bit, Setta. Do you think you can handle while I'm out?" Setta stared at her in disbelief before tears poured out of his eyes. He clung to Azami as if he was his dear life.

"No! I don't want Azami-nee to leave! No! No! No!" She giggled lightly before patting him. "I don't want to endanger you Setta because I'm going to a dungeon." She explained but he countered it by saying that he'll accompany her anywhere.

"Alright but you have to stick by my side okay?" He grinned at her before she was engulf in his bear hug.

"I'll write a letter for a while so I'll let Furcas and Sitri talk to you." He smiled before laughing at the voices he hear. They have taken a liking towards him after all.

"I'm done! Let's get this done and dusted! They're still out there so let's take this opportunity. Spirit of Knowledge and Perfection. I order thee and thine to use thy magoi. Engulf me with your darkness, Furcas!" She transformed before carrying Setta with her. Soon, they flew towards the said dungeon with various thoughts.

"I'm sorry Alibaba but I promise that when I come back, I'll be stronger than ever."

They landed softly on the ground, taking in the beauty of the dungeon. Setta looked marveled with its structure before facing her again. "This dungeon is so beautiful and mysterious!"
