Chapter eighteen

Suddenly, they were interrupted by Ja'far running into the room, "Sinbad, Quick! There's been an intruder!"

Sinbad and Neah quickly looked to the general. "At this hour?" Neah asked, standing. It was at least one A.M by now, if not later.

Neah followed Sinbad and Ja'far as they ran to see who the intruder was, meeting up with the other generals on the way. They stopped in the middle of the quiet streets of Sindria, where several Sindrian soldiers were surrounding someone.

Sinbad walked forward, the soldiers parting for him. Neah took a few steps forward too, and froze when she saw who the intruder was. A sudden rage filled her entire body, and all thoughts left her mind. She pushed past Sinbad and stopped in front of the person. He was laughing and looking around saying, "I can't believe it worked! It worked! I'm in the Old Day-Hey!" He yelped as Neah grabbed him by the collar of his armor.

The magi gritted her teeth, "Who the fuck are you? How the fuck did you get here?!"

"Woah, woah," The man clad in white armor raised his arms in defence. "I mean you no harm. You see, I'm from the fut-"

"I know very well where the hell you're from," Neah growled. "How the fuck did you get here?!"

"Neah, calm down," Sinbad stepped up beside her.

"Back off, Sinbad," Neah hissed, still glaring at the man, "He's from MWS."

"MWS? How?" Ja'far asked.

"Ah, you've heard of us?" The man became confused. "How...?"

"Because I'm the one you're looking for," Neah tightened her grip. "And I'm the one that's going to rip your fucking heart out."

"Neah, stop." Sinbad ordered, placing a hand on her shoulder.

Neah turned her glare on him, "Why should I? You all know what they've done!" She looked around at the other generals.The black rukh around her were stronger and in much larger numbers than they ever had been. It was actually frightening to Yamraiha, who was the only other person capable of seeing the rukh. It was as if the magic birds were pulsing with dark intent.

"I know," Sinbad said, "but we need to interrogate him first." He held eye contact with Neah until she finally backed down, dropping the man roughly to the ground. "Now-"

Neah grabbed Sinbad's sword from it's sheath and held it to the MWS soldier's throat, "How did you get here?"

As surprised as Sinbad was, he didn't grab his metal vessel back. Instead he said, "Answer her."

"W-W-Well, I..." The man stuttered, obviously intimidated by the pair looming over him, never mind the soldiers and generals also surrounding him. "I-I'm sworn to secrecy, please."

Neah pressed the sword against his neck more, "Does it look like I care? Tell me."

"W-Well...MWS is using one of the...the djinn..."

"The djinn?" Sinbad echoed, eyes narrowed.

"I knew it," Neah growled softly. "Continue."

"A-And w-we've built a machine using one of the djinn's power to teleport large numbers of people..." The man spoke, "I was a test to see if it worked..."

"You're using Dantalion, aren't you?" Neah assumed.

"How do you know that?"

Neah wondered if she should tell him who she was. Deciding she was going to kill him anyway she said, "I'm Neah Andson, maybe you've heard of me. I'm pretty popular."
