21 Years

Chapter 1

AN: If you haven't read Broken, I highly suggest reading that story before reading this one because if you haven't read the title and you just looked at the summary like I do sometimes, this is book 2! I don't own anything but the plot of this story and some OC's that probably won't even appear in this book but will get mentioned just for plot reasons. Now, with that being said I hope you enjoy this story. If it weren't for my friend and I randomly questioning everything and brainstorming this continuation off of Broken probably would never have existed.

Judal has finally returned to Sindria from seeing his homeland with Alibaba. Kou and Sindria had finally managed to put their differences aside once and for all. After overcoming his dreadful past full of abuse Judal was finally able to look towards the future and the only thing on his mind was seeing his beloved Sinbad. The magi wore a golden wedding ring with a diamond gemstone, his clothes had been white instead of the normal black clothing that he would wear. His hair was out of its segmented braid, nearly touching the ground. He also wore many golden ankle bracelets and a golden necklace, all given to him by Sinbad. Judal looked around for the violet-haired man that he had been married to for over three years until he heard someone call out to him. When he turned around, he saw that it was Aladdin and Morgiana calling them" Judal! It's been months since I've seen you, you... you look great actually! Where have you been?"

"Hey, I just went to see my home village! Some things happened, but that's a story for another time. Other than that I feel happy to be back home. I also figured out my real name."

"What's your real name?" Aladdin asked

"That is for me to know and for you to find out~ You don't know where Sinbad is, do you?"

"He's in a meeting, your highness. Welcome back from your voyage!" Ja'far said as he approached the group. "Great to know and thank you, now if you excuse me, I'm going to interrupt the shit out of that meeting."

"No, you're not! "

"But... Sinbad always expects me to do this. It'll be fine?"

"No! You need to wait. He doesn't need you to distract him from his duties."

Ugghh, fine Ja'far but I promise you that this will come back and bite both of us in the ass."

"Judal... it won't. Anyways there's something that I wanted to discuss with you. It's about the king. Please follow me." Judal along with Alibaba, Morgiana, and Aladdin followed Ja'far to the throne room. When Judal walked into the room, he noticed the other seven generals. Sharrkan smiled and waved to Judal. "Hey! How was your trip to your homeland? "It went well. I think I even managed to come to peace with myself." He said with a bright smile on his face, happy to see everyone. Ja'far sighed as he locked the door "So, what's this about anyways...?" 

"Sinbad... has been acting a bit strange lately," Ja'far said

"Isn't he always strange?"

"That's not what I mean Judal... The things that he says, the way that he treats us, he's changing. We can hardly hold a conversation with him anymore without him getting angry with us."

"Have you ever talked to him to see why he was acting in such a way," Aladdin asked. "I did, but we tend to get off topic." Judal let out a deep sigh. "I know Sinbad better than anyone else which is sad because you all have known him way longer than I have. Anyways, something that I have realized is that he never talks about his own feelings. He's probably burying it deep within himself like I did when I still lived in Kou.

"Now that I think about it... you're right... He never really goes into detail. He leaves it at "I'm stressed and lonely." Judal felt a pang of guilt for leaving Sinbad for so long. "Great, now I really want to interrupt that meeting."
