The New World [Magi Fanfic]

Exploring the Docks

"We will be on the boat for about a week. So, get comfy. Getting to Parthevia on a Reim ship will take a bit of time." Layla said as she helped Lucy set up her things in her temporary room. Lucy nodded as they finished unpacking her belongings.

While they were on the boat, Lucy spent most of her time in her room.

Sheba had given Lucy her very own divine staff, knowing she could trust the young girl with it. Sheba made it into a simple bracelet that would transform into a wand or staff best suited for Lucy at the moment she needed it. Right now, it was a simple wooden staff. It was like the one Aladdin had gotten from Baba. The bracelet really did work. It changed a few times since she had gotten it, each better than the last. Lucy could even materialize it and make it vanish at will.

Soon, the group arrived at the ports and docked the small ship. Lucy was allowed to go off and explore, saving that she had to return in a few hours. Still, she took advantage of the opportunity that was presented to her.

Lucy waltzed around the ports for a bit before finding a certain tree to climb upon. It was a lone tree that stood on a hill. The tree was massive and from the top, she could see the entire port. She tried to spot her parent's ship from up there.

The boy ran through the ports just looking for some work. It was like usual, no one needed anything. So, in return, the young purple-headed boy just decided to take a stroll around the area he knew so well.

He just so happened to look up at the right angle, in the right spot, and froze. A pair of feet dangling from the lone Mighty Banyan Tree that stop the lone hill. So, being the kind of kid he was, he decided to itch his curiosity and went to investigate.

As he silently climbed the massive tree, he saw a girl, about the age he was. She was faced away from him, her blonde hair beginning to cascade down her back. He placed a hand on her shoulder, causing her to jump. She let out a small squeal and lost her grip on the branch she was holding onto. The boy's reflexes kicked in just in time and he quickly grabbed her wrist before she went crashing to the ground.

"W-Woah! Be careful!" He shouted to her as he pulled her back up to the branch he was sitting on. She clung to him as she caught her breath.

"S-Sorry!" She said with a giggle coming from her throat. The boy laughed with her until they both climbed down the tree together.

They both decided that it was safer for them to sit beside the tree rather than on it. So, they sat together. The boy turned to face the girl beside him.

"Well, I am Sinbad. What is your name?" Sinbad asked as he held his hand out to her. She froze for a moment, getting caught in his golden eyes.

"Hello?" He asked with a laugh as he waved his hand in front of her face. She snapped out of it just as her name was shouted from the ports.

"That's my cue, thanks again for saving me!" She said with a smile as she quickly ran down the hill and to her father whos voice really echoed throughout the bustling ports.

Layla, Jude, and Lucy all walked along the long dirt road that leads to the Tison village from the ports. Lucy swung between her parents, making sure to hold both of their hands as they ran a bit so she could swing up.

It was times like this that made Lucy forget everything that happened around her.

"Layla and Jude? Is that you?" A woman asked as she saw the family walk down the road. Lucy saw her parent's faces light up when they saw the woman before them.
