"Fatima, go back to the Inn. And also searched for your mentor, Amaya to inspect her if her other side had awoke." Sinbad ordered. Fatima frowned in worry to him before she gathered Kali on her arms as she nodded and ran. Seeing Kali's despair earlier, Alibaba and Morgiana approached Sinbad in worry.

"Sinbad-san," Alibaba say as he walked towards him. "Is something wrong with Kali?"

Sinbad smiled at them. "Don't worry. I only made Fatima search for her mentor to heal her. And also," he glanced at the situation of the djinn and the dark magi. "This sight might be unpleasant to her." Sinbad noted.

Alibaba looked at Aladdin and lowered his head in worry. "That's natural. Kali has been with Aladdin and Ugo for a long time. I'm sure this scene might break her heart." He frowned as he remembered Kali's crying face when she saw Ugo and Aladdin, this memory made him clench his fist as he looked up in determination. "I don't want to see it again."

"The chill earlier," Morgiana stated. "Even if it was only few moments, I can sense bloodlust from Kali-san."

"Huh?"

"A bloodlust from Kali-san, I'm sure—"

"Morgiana." Sinbad intervene. "Don't finish that sentence." Morgiana and Alibaba frowned.

"Why?" Alibaba asked.

"I'll tell you later." Sinbad turned his attention to the blue djinn that had his hands above him that was coated with magoi. His eyes narrowed in realization. This djinn is seriously going to crush the black magi.

"This is bad, everyone, run for it." Sinbad quickly warned the citizen who quickly ran away from the scene before a loud explosion came. After that attack, dust and debris flew everywhere even some citizen were thrown back from the strong impact. Those who were able not to get away from the impact were saved by Morgiana and Sinbad's subordinate.

"Are you okay, Aladdin?" Morgiana asked the little boy who had his eyes closed. Aladdin opened his eyes, looked up to Morgiana and nodded. "Thanks for saving me, Mor-san."

"What about the Fog Troupe?" Alibaba asked as he looked around.

"They're okay." Morgiana answered. Alibaba sigh in relief. "Thanks to Sinbad-san, it doesn't look like there are any casualties. His warning allowed them to get away in time." Morgiana stood up as she looked down where Ugo and Judal.

"Hey Aladdin, what happened to Ugo? It looks like he's moving on his own will." Alibaba said in worry as Aladdin and he also looked at them. Aladdin blinked as looked around to search something.

Aladdin looked up to Alibaba. "Wait, where's Kali-nee?"

"Fatima took her to the inn to heal her. And also—"

"Oh my, what is that monster?"

All of them looked up in surprise. That voice came from the red-haired person who looked down in with her chin high with her attendants and other people behind her as they riding an enormous carpet.

"How dare you bully our cute little Judal?" The red-haired woman continued as the person behind her picked Judal who is badly injured and jumped back to the carpet. The attendant beside her started to heal Judal using the fan which seems to be covered in water.

"Ka Koubon, you'd better heal him right. If he dies, we're in big trouble."

"I am aware, Princess. He is our priest, a very important person."

"Sin!" Ja'far said in alarm as he noticed the crest in their carpet.

"Yeah, I know." Sinbad acknowledged. "They're from the Kou Empire."

"Kou Empire!?"

Fatima's POV

Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Where the hell is she? No matter where I went, she always not there! Damn it! She is not always there when she is needed the most! My legs are already exhausted from running around for her, damn it! Stupid Amaya, if I ever see you again, I'll teach you a lesson—

Before I could even my thoughts, my face was already on the ground and I quickly got up to see who or what the hell made me trip but instead my head collide something hard that made a 'ting!' sound. I looked up and saw Amaya. As soon as I saw the booze on her hand, my blood immediately boiled.

"You…!" I gritted my teeth in anger as I pointed my finger to her. "You were drinking out here and ignoring your responsibilities! What kind of teacher are you!?"

"Oh, Fatty…!" Amaya slurred as she stumbled. "It's been a while—"

"And you're already drunk!?"

"Huh?" Amaya blinked at her as her eyelids dropped before she opened it again and started to laugh. "Of course, Fatty! Why are you asking me that question—"

"Shut up, Stupid Amaya!" I snapped at her as I let out a deep breath and crossed my arms. "Seriously, to think you disappeared just to drink…" I sigh. "Seriously," I looked at Amaya's state only to see that she already had falling asleep. My blood boiled again as I roughly grabbed her and started to drag towards the Inn.

"You should have taken your responsibility first, Bakamaya." I said as I stomp my way to my destination. "You're a well-known person here, you should act like one."

Kali's POV

Those mesmerizing pair of eyes

In my mind the thoughts of you

Cannot be erased

When I hold your hand and feel your warmth

It's really too much for me to handle

Your innocence I would like to treasure

When I see you suffering I will feel sad

Oh...

"Mother, what song is that?" A brown haired little girl asked.

Huh? That's not me.

"It's called 'Fei'. My sister always sang this song." 'Mother' from Kali's vision smiled.

Sister?

"Eh…" The brown haired girl looked up in wonder. "Can you teach me how to sing?"

'Mother' beamed as kneeled down in the brown haired girl's level. "Of course, I will. Tonight, I'll—

Someone suddenly barged into their house.

Who is that?

'Mother's eyes light up when she saw the newcomer. "Welcome back, sis!" Emerald eyes looked to her.

"…Yeah, I'm back…" Came a reply from the newcomer.

Wait… that looks like…

"Are you serious, Kassim?"

Kassim?

I looked behind and saw Alibaba and Kassim with his allies. I inspect both of them and realized that I was standing between them and I was facing Kassim with Alibaba behind me. I frowned in realization that they were talking while I was standing between them which is strange; they were talking as if I wasn't here the whole time.

"Yeah, I can even get the weapons." Kassim said as he looked behind Alibaba, acknowledging that there was a person standing behind him. "I didn't introduce you, did I? He's helped out the Fog Troupe before."

I don't know why but I suddenly don't like this person. The person that was standing behind Alibaba had mask which is kind off familiar—

Wait.

A mask?

"He's the one who lent us our magical weapons." Kassim continued. "He's also the one who told us about the king's slave plan."

He's the one... who gave the weapons? I thought in horror as I remembered Kassim stabbing the weapon into his chest. I turn my attention to Kassim who had his smirk twisted in his face. This is… I gasped in realization. This is a trap! I have to tell him…! I quickly walked towards Kassim as I put my hand to his shoulder, which is, to my shock, just pass through. I looked at my hand in shock as I tried again but it only went through to his body.

No way! I have to tell him! I have to tell him that this is just a –

"…a slave-production country!"

Dark blue eyes opened as I lifted my head but immediately regretted it when a headache weighs my head; I dropped my head to the window.

"Every day, Ahbmad spends money like water." I opened my eyes when I hear an unfamiliar voice. "He doesn't care about anything else. The nobles and bureaucrats only care about protecting their own comfortable lives, so they listen to Ahbmad."

"Deputy King!" I slightly lifted my head while ignoring my headache when I heard Morgiana's voice. "Did you come here because you want us to stop Ahbmad's plan?"

What's the fuss all about? Why the hell that King Pig was brought up? I can only frown in confusion, not knowing the hell is going on.

"Let's do it, Alibaba-san!" I heard Morgiana's voice; this time seemed to be full of determination. "Let's put an end to this madness!" After that declaration, I hear a commotion which I immediately muted because of my headache. Why the hell am I having a headache?

Probably, that question will be answered tomorrow as she already fell asleep at the window.

A/N: The first scene irks me a bit but the rest went well, I think.

Ok, I'll explain. The reason I wrote this... story, is to let out these ideas in my head, so many ideas that it started to give me headache. So, I wrote this WITHOUT PLANNING AT FIRST and after chapter 3 i think, I started to take things seriously(this story) and began my research. Originally, Kali was supposed to be a witch. I research witch and discovered wiccan. But then I think something inspired me and I turn my attention to mythology and found Valkyries. Then I implemented the idea 'Valkyries' in this story with my own twist.

Well, the reason I told you all this... my experience is because... even though its not related to the story above... is that I'm a procrastinator, and I'm not proud of it because I nearly abandoned this story and... school (well lets not talk about school).

I just wanted to say I'm sorry that I almost forgot this and not updating because I nearly abandon it. I don't want my story to be just [discontinued] because of my laziness and don't want to finish it.

I WANT TO FINISH THIS STORY and I dont know what's happening in magi manga because I sort of... stop.

I'M SORRY I HOPE YOU'LL FORGIVE ME T_T.

Oh, and also please express your opinion about the good and bad parts of the story because I want my stor(ies) to improve. Please...! *bows*

That One Lazy Author T_T,
