| Imuchakk .... what? |

When I awoke I was surrounded by cheering guards and treasure.

"We'll take that back to the king for you!" One guard said looking down on me.

"I think not!" I snapped.

"Quickly seize the child for they have turned against the government."

I saw the bright butterflies and turned to see Yunan.

"Use the power you obtained call it out from the bottom of your heart," Yunan said touching my dagger which caused Beleth to appear.

"It's a giant blue monster!" Someone screamed. I closed my eyes and held my dagger out in front of me.

"Amaris child you're already in need of assistance?" She chuckled.

"Oh, genie of love and wind. I hereby order you and your messengers Using my magoi as your source. And bestow my will with great power. Come forth, Beleth." I yelled raising my hand high in the sky as Beleth smiled as she blew wind, knocking the guards into the wall.

"Now be on your way," Yunan said as both the treasure and me was lifted in the air and shot to the village. I fell right beside Sin and the amount of treasure was doubled.

"I did it, big bro!" I cheered holding my dagger. Sin's eyes widened, it was clear he was angry that I went into a dungeon all by myself but he managed to smile. We both burst into a fit of laughter.

"How could you two leave your mother for 2 months!" My eyes widened, 2 months? It's only been a few days. Sinbad and I both got up and started running home with our last amount of energy.

When we got home mother laid there on the ground, deathly sick. I fell to my knees. How could I let this happen? I went to the dungeon so I could get enough power to stop suffering. I scooted up to mom on the other side of Sin and grabbed her free hand.

"Mom..?" I mumbled tears starting to pool out of my ears.

"Badr..?" Mother looked at Sinbad, I managed to smile through my tears. "If that really is you I must be leaving soon... Our little Sin and Amaris have gone on a journey, Sinbad with your sword in hand... Sinbad is energetic, full of curiosity and reckless, but he treasures his family and companions, he is gentle deep inside. And Amaris, she's always so happy and energetic, she's strong and powerful too.." She chuckled lightly. "I love you... Sin... Amaris..."

"No... No... Mom!" I sat there weeping and Sinbad pulled me in for a hug.

Soon Sinbad and Amaris's names were known all over Partevia. The news that the 2 dungeons that were challenged by more than 10,000 soldiers, had been captured by a 14-year-old child and a 12-year-old child, brought hope back to a nation of war-worn citizens. On the other hand, the fact that both civilian children captured a dungeon by themselves, made the palace think bitterly of these little heroes.

"Enough," Sinbad said as he grabbed the hand of the pink haired girl who was currently beating a civilian.

"So it's you, your Sinbad, aren't you?" She slapped his hand away.

"Hey, I'm touched that a pretty girl like you knows who I am," Sin said smugly I hit the back of his neck.

"Hurry up," I snapped. "It's not the time to seduce women!"

"And you must be Amaris," She said glaring at me.

"You'd be correct miss!" I said smiling. She quickly charged at Sin but he dodged again and again, and gently pushed her forward which made part of her top come undone. I ran over to the boat and waited for Sinbad.

"I'm taking you along as my hostage!" Sin said as he quickly followed behind.

"Dammit put me down!" She struggled, "How dare you embarrass a royal princess like me?" I pulled the lid of a barrel before Sinbad put her inside and tossed her inside.

"Cya Cutie," He said and I hit him in the back of the head once again.

"Now Sin it's time to change the world!" I yelled taking the words out of his mouth. I looked around the boat and just saw many empty barrels and nets. "Uhm Sin, where are we going?"

"Well Amaris, we're going to change the world, of course." I sighed knowing that he didn't have a real answer.

---

"We're lost aren't we?" I said shaking from the cold.

"Yeah," he responded the boat started to shake as the waves got uneasy. I looked around and saw 2 rather big blue headed people attack a large snake-like fish. The male's weapon just bounced off of the fish.

"Baal! Lend me your powers! Lightning Strike!" Sin yelled casting lightning onto the fish.

"Sin you idiot it could have been important for them to kill it!" I snapped shaking from the water that had now soaked my loose clothes.

"That's an incredible catch ya got there." Sin said walking up to the male. He started to explain the rarity of the animal.

"Woah big bro you finally caught it, but hey why is it all burnt?" The blue haired girl questioned, "And who are you two?" Sinbad immediately took the opportunity and tried to swoon her, and failed miserably.

"I'm Amaris!" I smiled as the girl started to introduce them.

"I'm Pipirika." She said gesturing to herself. "And this is Hina. Even though he's 21 he still has his childhood name. But since he caught an Abare Narwhal, he'll be granted his warrior name." I started to chop up the fish because we haven't eaten in days. As we ate Sinbad tried getting them to take us into Imuchakk.

"We don't care what we have to go through We're going to change the world!" I said cutting off Sinbad. Hina and Sin walked near the shore as I continued to talk to Pipirika.

"Amaris you're absolutely adorable!" She said as she played with my purple hair.

I wasn't really paying attention but this big macho man was lecturing Hina about visitors and Imuchakk, but the thing that really caught my attention was the mention of a festival.

"So what's the maharagan?" I asked.

"It's an annual festival of Imuchakk," said Pipirika.

"It celebrates those who've achieved the right of the passage," Hina continued.

"You should also know strange happenings have been happening while you were away." The man said. "Suddenly an unfamiliar structure appeared at the northern waterfall. I have selected a group to investigate. Hina I'd like for you to join them-"

"Not a chance!" Both Sin and I interrupted. "You shouldn't go anywhere near it," Sin continued.

"Why not?" The man questioned.

"It's called a dungeon. Where we're from in Partevia there were 2 dungeons over 10,000 soldiers tried to conquer it but they all died. However, Sinbad and I managed to beat them by ourselves." I said finishing it.

"You can't possibly be serious I don't tolerate those who spread false rumors." Both Sinbad and I pulled out our marked objects, Sin's gave off a blue glow, while mine gave off a half green and half white glow. I let Sinbad continue explaining as I began to eat. There was a strange look on Hina's face, which made me worry.

"Just stop it I can't do that!" Hina snapped me out of my daze. Loud drums caught my attention and we made our way outside. Sinbad surrounded himself with ladies as I walked around trying to find more food. I ended up talking to some of the kids my age as I ate. It's the beginning of my journey but I've been through so much.
