Magi: A New Era

The Meeting and The Future

The Royals left Mihala in the general's care and made their way to the Kou Empire to discuss of the incident that occurred before Queen Hikari had her baby. On the boat, King Sinbad was deep in thought. Jafar walked up to him, "Is something on your mind, Sin?" He said with a worried look on his face. King Sinbad looked over at him, "Well Jafar, I'm worried..." Jafar looked up at him, "About what?" King Sinbad looked out at the water. "I'm worried about things like this, these accusations made against me, I was nearly betrayed by you guys over the assumption I slept with the Princess of the Kou Empire even though I'm married." Jafar looks out at the blue ocean, "I see, sorry for all that trouble Sin."

"I think you are worrying too much dear." Queen Hikari said as she walked over to them with her arms behind her holding a sleeping Badr in the basket. King Sinbad looked over at her, "Maybe you're right love." She looked up at the sky and then looked back at him. "You were lucky I saved you that day but then Badr was born right after that." She walked over and took his hand with one arm still behind her. "You have nothing to worry about Sin, I'm here for you, everyone else is here for you too." He looked at her and hugged her. "I don't know what I'd do without you Hika."

Prince Hakuryuu walked over to them, "We should be docking soon your majesties." They nodded and looked about the empire. Prince Hakuryuu then looked at Queen Hikari and the baby on her back, "I have been wondering though your Highness, how did you come back after being hit by dark magic?" Queen Hikari looked at him and then looked at the sky, "It's quite a long story, it's a mystery to me as well really." The 3 men looked over at her as she looked back at them. "I have vivid memories though, all I can remember from 2 years ago, was taking the blow of Judar's dark ice and feeling myself bleeding out. After that, my body felt light like I was floating, that's when I realized I was disappearing in magic."

King Sinbad looked down, "You disappeared in my arms for that matter." Queen Hikari looked at him and nodded. "After that, I remember waking up in a strange place, there were clouds and a lot of stars. It turns out I had disappeared to the gates of heaven. The king of heaven had me formed as an Angel but I somehow felt I was still alive even though I was up there. It then occurred to me that the magic I had wielded growing up was able to bring me back to life. I couldn't do it alone however and the king of heaven helped me through the process. I was able to get my body back and get back down to Earth. It took me days to find Sindria and then I finally did, only to see that Judar had come back as a revenge plot against my husband."

Prince Hakuryuu was shocked at what he was hearing. "That's quite interesting. Magic that brings people back from the dead." Queen Hikari looked over at him and nodded, "Mhm, it never occurred to me that my household vessel was capable of such a thing, anyway, I knew I needed to do something because I did not want my husband or daughter to suffer the same fate as I did and that's when I swooped in and distracted Judar enough for the kids to attack. After that, I found out I was pregnant, I honestly thought I wouldn't have been able to be since I was dead for so long" Jafar looked up, "However, even after Queen Hikari was back with us and Badr coming along, King Sinbad still had the same nightmare, it was the day Queen Hikari had died 2 years ago."

Prince Hakuryuu looked at them, "That makes sense, must have been such a tragedy." King Sinbad looked over at him, "Yes, I want to get rid of the nightmare, but I have no idea how even though I have her back with me along with my new son." Queen Hikari then said, "I have a solution for that but we can finish this talk later, we are here my king." They all headed off the boat towards the Kou Palace. During the walk there, Prince Hakuryuu exclaimed, "We got Ka Koubun locked up for his crime against you King Sinbad. My stepsister Kougyoku is currently in the palace waiting for us."

King Sinbad let out a sigh of relief, "I see, thank you for everything Hakuryuu." Queen Hikari smiled and thought to herself, "You've grown so much Sin, from my best friend to my husband, you've done so many great things and have helped so many people I've heard. I couldn't be happier with how far you've come." She looked back at her baby sleeping peacefully but as they walked to the throne room, Badr started crying. Queen Hikari bounced him up and down with her arms while walking, "Shhh, it's ok baby, calm down." King Sinbad turned to her, "Need help darling?" The bouncing however put Badr back to sleep. Hikari laughed a little, "Not anymore it seems." They all laughed.

Once they reached the throne room, Princess Kougyoku was sitting on her throne staring at them as they walked in. She stared at King Sinbad and Queen Hikari then looked down in shame. "Sister, we are here to settle this." Prince Hakuryuu said as he walked up to his step-sister looking down on her. The Princess looked up at him saying, "I know brother." She got up and turned to King Sinbad and Queen Hikari, "I owe you my deepest apologies your majesties, especially to you King Sinbad. Queen Hikari looked at her, "May I ask why your assistant did this to my husband to begin with?" The Princess looked down and sighed, "I was in love with your husband." All of them became shocked at what they were hearing.

The Princess continued, "I discovered that Ka Koubou has been trying to take over this kingdom for quite some time. Over a year ago, before you came back to life Your Highness, I was in love with King Sinbad after he attended a party in our kingdom as a courtesy for uniting our kingdom as part of the Seven Seas Alliance. I think Ka Koubou made it his mission for me to have a child with King Sinbad. He pulled it off so he could take over the kingdom and that I could be with the man I loved. I didn't realize he had already been married and had a child, well 2 children now I heard." She said as she looked at the baby on Queen Hikari's back. "It also turned out he tried doing the same thing with the current King of Balbad but it ended up failing when your friend Alibaba came."

King Sinbad stood in shock, "I appreciate your honesty Princess, but I already have a Queen." Queen Hikari walked over to the now tearful Princess Kougyoku and placed her hand on her shoulder with the other arm still behind her back. "Hey, it's ok, things happen you know? Sometimes all dreams can't come true like you want them to. The best thing you can do is work towards your dreams. Believe in yourself and others. I know you have a lot ahead of you Princess, enjoy the time you have with those around you." She looked up at Queen Hikari smiling a little, "Thank you, your majesty." Queen Hikari smiled back at her, "Don't worry about what the future holds, worry about what you have now and cherish it." The Princess nodded and smiled as she saw the baby open his eyes and look at her.

Queen Hikari turned her head to the baby laughing a little, "Well good morning sleepyhead." Prince Hakuryuu thought about his dreams after hearing Queen Hikari's words. King Sinbad looked over at him, "You want to grow your kingdom one day correct?" Prince Hakuryuu looked over at him and nodded. King Sinbad smiled, "The sea is like your guide to that dream, make sure to follow the waves and you will follow the right path." Prince Hakuryuu nodded and thanked him. After the meeting, all of them went to the front gates of the palace where they also met Jafar who was speaking with Ka Koubun in his cell. The 3 royals parted ways with the 2 and said their goodbyes.

As night approached, they landed in Sindria and returned to the palace. The generals gave them Mihala and both the King and Queen put their children to bed as they settled in too for the night. As time passed, King Sinbad and Queen Hikari both knew there would be much ahead of them but also knew they could figure it out together as they had each other, along with their children and their allies. Things will look up for the 3 children as well, as they grow together and work on following their dreams and know they will have bright futures ahead of them.

The End.
