Magi: Secrets of the Past

•Chapter 1•

Ja'far's POV

We all sat/stood on the deck of a ship we used to escape. We being all eight of the Generals, Sin, Alibaba, Aladdin, Morgiana, and Hakuryuu.

"Sin... I know this is the last thing you want to hear after we just lost a battle, but we need to figure out what to do." I said staring at him until he would give us orders.

He sat down on a barrel of some sort and rested his elbows on his knees while closing his eyes.

He released a long steady stream of air before he opened his eyes and began speaking, "Ja'far for some time now I have been spending all of my free time trying to track her down and I'm sure that you all are aware of this." It was obvious that he was talking to his generals.

When we all stayed silent, and tore our eyes from him and onto random objects like the wooden floor below our feet, or the pale blue sky above, he took it as a yes.

"And recently... I found her."

This had me in high alert. "Sin, after ten years of searching you found her?" I asked afraid I had misheard him.

"I don't understand. Who do you mean by her?" Alibaba asked rising to his feet.

"I mean, Aaliyah, the ninth general of Sindria that fled the country 10 years ago."

"She is also my elder sister..." I added

"She is also the only person I've ever met that can drink both Hinahoho and Sin under the table." Spartos laughed.

"Also the only one who has ever gone up against me and been evenly matched." Sin said growing serious.

"Are you serious she and you were evenly matched?!" Hakuryuu yelled.

"Yeah... She is that powerful." Sin replied.

"I hope you don't mind me asking... But why'd she leave?" Morgiana asked.

The atmosphere around us that knew her grew serious and deadly.

"The only one she talked to before she left was Sin... And he refuses to tell any of us what she said. She didn't even leave a damn note." I answered as I looked over to Sin.

He leaned back on his elbows as he watched the setting sun paint warm colors across the sky. Without a doubt doing it so he didn't have to see the look of pity in everyone else's eyes.

Because we all knew, how madly those two were in love.

Aaliyah's POV~1 day later

"Aaliyah," my son, Nadir, grabbed my attention.

"Hm?" I asked tearing my eyes away from what I was reading.

"I'm going to Ian's house." He said opening the door.

"Alright just be back by 5:15, for dinner." I okayed as he walked away I yelled, "I'm serious I'll ground you if you're late again!"

"Yeah yeah whatever."

I tried to focus back on my reading but I was near impossible. I felt that something was coming.

"After 10 years away I thought I'd stop have acting paranoid years ago" I sighed to myself as I started to get up and and make sure the box under my bed was still locked and nothing was missing.

"I'm just paranoid" I sighed to myself.

I checked the clock, 2:35.

I let a yawn escape my mouth and thought, "eh I'll just take a little nap to kill the time."
