Twisted Hearts

Chapter 6: The Advisor from the Sands Learns from the Other Half

(First off, after playing Jamil's book, I knew he and Roxas would get along rather well. Second off, this is basically Roxas saying, "Aren't you tired of being nice? Don't you want to go insane?!". Do I regret this? No. Was it fun? Yes. I actually planned to have Aladdin, Jasmine, and Genie show up, but I couldn't make it work. Enjoy!)

               "That was painful" Jamil confessed as he groaned and found himself laying on the sandy floor of a city.

"Jamil!" Kalim shouted in relief before falling to hug him!

Jamil grunted in pain as he pulled himself and Kalim up while rolling his eyes to let his dorm leader embrace him.

"I told you he was fine. Nothing can stop my big brother" Najma's voice spoke as she sat next to them with a cheeky expression.

"What are you doing here anyway?!" Jamil exclaimed as he effortlessly pushed Kalim off him to then grab his little sister's shoulders.

"It was supposed to be a surprise at the meeting" Najma said as she held a deadpanned expression similar to her older brother's.

"Oh! It was supposed to be a surprise!" Kalim exclaimed as he sat up with a bright expression, "The school wanted another magical student to attend for a week to report to other schools about it! I recommended your little sister! As for right now, she's a freshman!"

Jamil's eyes were wide with many thoughts running through his mind. As for emotions, it was a mixed between frustration and annoyance. Jamil was sure he was going to fall over with how fast his heartrate was, but Kalim stood up and dusted himself off with Najma also standing with him.

"Oh! Wow! This place reminds me of the beautiful princess and sand sorcerer!" Kalim exclaimed as his mind changed to the area around them with his hands behind his head.

Jamil could feel a headache approaching, but he stood up and observed their situation and understood what Kalim meant. This place bears a striking resemblance to the stories of the princess and the advisor.

"But that's just a fairy tale" Najma pointed out as she took out her phone, "That's not real. Aw, we don't have cell reception"

Jamil groaned at hearing that, but he looked around. There weren't many people where they were at. This was both good and bad. Good, because there weren't enemies around. Bad, because there was no one to help them, or force to help them.

"What should do?" Najma asked as she bounced on her feet with Jamil holding his chin.

He wasn't sure, but they needed to find a way back home. He wasn't sure how he was going to handle Kalim's obliviousness and his little sister's attention.

"Ah, hah!" Kalim exclaimed as he saw a few barrels and pots and climbed it.

Jamil's eyes were wide as he watched Kalim climb. Kalim then climbed up a shop and crawled on top of the cloth. He was able to reach the top of the store to then reach a second floor of a stony, gold building. He grinned before standing up to get a better view of the place.

"What are you doing?! Giving me a heart attack?! You know if you get hurt, it is my head on the chopping block, right?!" Jamil urged as Najma watched in awe.

"I know, I know!" Kalim reassured before turning to see another stony ledge.

He climbed it to then reach the third floor and dusted himself off. He finally had a better view of the place and gasped in awe. This place reminded him so much of his home!

"Jamil! Najma! This place is just like our home!" Kalim shouted happily before he stared in the distance and found the glittering white palace with golden, dome roofs, "Hey! I see my house!"
