Magi: A Twist in Time and Space 《Sinbad X Reader》

Chapter 33: When in Reim

(Third Person Point of View)

A week has passed by since that incident. T still hasn't awoken and Sinbad was forced to bury Kira without allowing T the chance to say goodbye. Pacing back and forth in the remolded room Yunan stared at the unconscious T. With the help of Yamuraiha, Yunan was able to treat T's injuries and save her life. She healed faster than before, but the stab wounds and some burn scars remained.

Yunan kissed T's forehead and said, "I'm sorry I wasn't able to save her" before heading out into the night. Sinbad entered shortly after and placed a hand on T's face. She shifted at his touch, but was unable to open her eyes. Sinbad traced the burn scar across her left arm. Sinbad's expression darkened when he felt Arba's presence.

She approached T and Sinbad, however Sinbad did not acknowledge her. Unknowing to him, she smirked in triumph. She knew that T would not last long when she awakens. T was so easy to manipulate. Without turning Sinbad said in a cold voice, "Why are you hear? I thought I made myself clear, you are unwelcome here." Arba shrugged her shoulders and said, "I'm not that one that did that to her or that child. I was discussing tactics with the officials the entire time that accident occurred." Sinbad seemed to have had enough and grabbed Arba by the collar and threw her to the ground, "You're a magician that's lived for hundreds of years. Al Thamen even knew how to make puppets out of their own bodies! I wouldn't be surprised if you used that same method to attack T."

Arba smirked as she got off the ground, "Lord Sinbad, why am I under the impression you are not as angry at me as you pretend to be? If you truly hated me for what I have done, why haven't you thrown me out?" Sinbad was speechless. It was true, if he truly despised her, why was it she was still alive and virtually unharmed. Arba continued with a huge smirk on her face, "Isn't it because you need me to break into the Sacred Palace?" Sinbad ignored her and walked up to the door and held it open.

Arba sighed and headed out the door while muttering to herself, "That's right, there is no way for you to get rid of me Lord Sinbad." Once Arba was out of sight Sinbad shut the door and walked away.

Black rukh began to flutter around T and T began to shift back in forth as if she was in pain. Her body began to absorb the black rukh as her face began to look more pained.

(Dream- Memories of Long Ago- T's Point of View)

"Do you need power?" Huh? Who was that? The weight on my body was lifted and I was able to open my eyes. I was in some sort of room. Everything was white from the ceiling to the floor. I felt something run down my spine. I quickly turned and was face to face with a man with dark hair that seemed to turn red at the ends. He was shitless and seemed to look a bit like the older version of Sinbad.

I took a step back, he gave off an odd vibe. He seemed to smirk at my reaction and said, "I asked you a question. Do you want power?" Huh? I turned to him in confusion, "What are you talking about?" He seemed annoyed, "I want revenge on those that have trapped me here and you want power to break free. I'll grant you that power and help you if you succumb to me. You actually have no say in the matter, those magicians have already taken your life. You are barely holding on. Your unyielding determination is something to be applauded. Before he takes you, you should allow me to lend you my power."
