| What'd we miss? |

"Hey, Jafar I guess this is my bye for now," I smiled as I walked up to the slightly younger and shorter boy.

"Bye?" He questioned as we walked off of the boat. I nodded, glancing up at the sky. There sat the sun shining brightly as we had arrived at Imuchakk.

"There's another Dungeon nearby, I can feel it," I replied. "I plan on conquering it to become stronger."  He looked up at me a look of shock plastered onto his face.

"You can't you'll die!" He raised his voice. I shook my head.

"I won't die," I calmly stated. For some reason I knew I wouldn't die, it was strange. "At least not until my goal is accomplished."

"Promise me you won't die," I turned to the boy and pulled him into a hug.

"I promise," I smiled. "See you soon!" I yelled running off to where I believed the Dungeon was.

It was one of the tall dungeons like the one I conquered in Partevia. I quickly ran into the dungeon the faster I conquer this dungeon, the less time will pass. It seemed to feel a little bit easier than the dungeon that housed Valefor. Maybe it's because I'm alone again? I drew my sword as giant spiders crawled out of the roof. I rush of excitement filled my veins. I slashed and slashed. Disgusting bugs...I frowned as I killed the last one. Well, that was disappointing.

Days passed. I made my way through many passageways, fought many monsters, and I got beat up pretty badly. I ended up taking up several small breaks to gain more magoi. I saw the door that leads to the treasure room up ahead but the door was blocked by a blob-like creature.

"Summer's Breeze!" I yelled striking the blob with my now white glowing sword. The blob turned what seemed to be its head to me..? It had large eyes that basically popped out of its head.

"Tasty!" It cheered bringing up what seemed to be an arm and slamming into the ground in front of me. It had no affect...? I sighed before quickly coming up with a plan. After all, if I didn't kill it, it would kill me, and I had no intention of dying.

I used the air and my sword to create a hole in the blob and filled it with an immense amount of gas. It kept growing and growing in size. Its skin seemed to stretch as it grew to the size of the door it blocked. I pulled out my sword and saw the air start to escape the blob. I quickly ran around the blob cutting through the paper-thin skin.

I immediately jumped back due to liquids coming out of the hole I made. I gagged a bit and waited until the blob laid flat against the ground its liquids covered it. I opened the door and saw all of the beautiful treasure. I explored the room and stumbled upon a beautiful necklace. When I picked it up a Djinn seemed to come out of it.

"I am Sitri, the 12th Djinn of water and lust manipulation," A large male djinn announced. "Are you the one who wishes to become King, child?" He looked like a normal human man except for the fact that he was 10x bigger and blue.

"Yes," I answered. "My names Amaris and I desire the power to get stronger and complete my dream."

"How old are you child?"

"I recently turned 13 before entering the Dungeon Mister Sitri," I responded slightly confused as to why my age mattered.

"If I allow you to become my master do your promise to get stronger and to not die t=until your dream is fulfilled?"

"I promise!" I said my happy demeanor was gone and a completely serious look was plastered on my face.

"Very well," Sitri said before disappearing back into the necklace. I put it quickly and soon found myself outside the Dungeon surrounded by various bags of treasures.

"Amaris welcome back!" I looked up to see everyone cheering, I happily waved and carried 2 bags up to the surface.

"How long has it been?" I asked Ja'far who had grabbed one of the bags from me.

"Around 3 months?" He said thinking about how long it's been since we returned to Imuchakk.

"3 months?!" I exclaimed. "Oh no, I'm so sorry I took so long to get out of there," I apologized to both Ja'far and Hinahoho because they were the closest ones near me.

"No need to apologize, because now we can sell the treasure and bring more goods back to the Reim Empire to sell," Hinahoho explained.

"You're right..." I smiled trailing off. "Come on, let's go back," I looked to Ja'far and he nodded we carried some of the bags back to Imuchakk. As soon as we got back Ja'far and I started selling the treasure I had gotten. After all, we don't know how Sinbad's doing in Reim.

"There I've completed my assignment!" Ja'far gave his work to Rurumu and waited anxiously.

"Everything's correct. Well done!" Rurumu smiled. Ja'far was going to help Vittel but ended up having to watch Kikiriku.

"He seems to really like you Ja'far," I laughed seeing the boy struggle to hold him up.

"Why don't you try to hold him then?" He snapped handing me Kikiriku. I smiled holding up the rather large child.

"Easy peasy!" I giggled at the younger boy's frustration.
