The New World [Magi Fanfic]

Setting Sail

"Lucy~" Sinbad called to her as she pinch his arm. He pouted at her as they strolled through the streets of Reim. He insisted that they go on a stroll because he hadn't seen her in a while.

"Sinbad~" Lucy mimicked him. He frowned.

"Do really sound that bad?" She nodded at his question. Sinbad groaned and pulled her off to a bar.

"Sin, you know I don't drink." She whined as he sat them both at the bar. He ordered them both a glass of wine.

"Well I do, and I have something to ask. So hear me out okay?" He asked with a grin. Lucy scrunched her eyebrows together as she put her full attention on the boy. When he wasn't talking she waved her hand in his face.

"Me, Ja'far, and Hinahoho are leaving for another adventure. I want you to come with us." He asked while dropping his grin. Her eyes widened as she smiled.

"I will. Just give me one day to prepare at least. Knowing you, we will probably be leaving tomorrow." Lucy joked while nudging his arm. Sinbad smirked and threw his arm around her shoulders.

"We surely are!" Lucy comically sweat dropped at his confirmation. The two talked for a few hours before Lucy decided it was time for her to go, reminding him of the fact that she will be with him for the journey tomorrow. The purple haired teen reluctantly let her go, telling her to meet them at the ports.

Later that night she returned to Muu who sat next to her at the dinner table.

"I'm leaving tomorrow with Sinbad. We will be a few months." She said as he widened his eyes at her sudden outburst.

"What!!?" Muu exclaimed, along with his sister. Lucy scratched the top of her head.

"I'm sorry. It was in the moment kinda thing. I promise I'll be back though! This is my home, with you guys." Lucy said, earning a slight blush from the two fanalis.

"You have to promise to return with not even a scratch!" Myron declared as her brother nodded in agreement and he grabbed her free hand. She giggled as he patted his head. They all talked as they finished their food. Lucy packed a few clothing items and coins. She decided it was best to leave her books, trusting their safety in the manor.

-

"Yo! Lucy over here!" Sinbad exclaimed while waving his hands vigorously through the air to the sixteen year old girl. The blonde giggled and jogged happily over to the small group.

"I'm here everyone!" She said as they began to board the ship. She looked around seeing all the crew members running around getting the ship ready. But, she was the only girl, and it gave her chills.

Sinbad showed them to their rooms. The five shared a room with bunk beds. She tossed her small bag onto the top bunk while Sinbad jumped on the one below her.

"Good choice." He complemented. She figured that if anyone tried anything, she would hear them and manage to kick them off before they got to her and also, Sinbad was there so he wouldn't let anything happen to her.

The group walked out to the deck, watching as the crew were finishing off the preparations.

"Oi!" A deep, rough voice shouted angrily from behind the group. The captain hobbled towards them, his peg leg not slowing him in the slightest. He made a move to reach out for Lucy. Hinahoho and Ja'far stepped in front of her, blocking her from his grasp.

"What do you think you are doing?" Sinbad questioned while he gazed at the captain with an unreadable emotion. The captain huffed and backed off slightly, crossing his arms.

"Get the las off me ship. How do yer think I've been keepin' this her' ship alive and kickin'? The water god doesn't allow women to sail." He growled, causing the blonde to flinch. She has been on plenty of ships and never has she experienced something bad.

"We already paid for her room. Lucy is staying." Ja'far said, crossing his arms.

"No. Get her off me ship." The captain said once more, not budging.

"I've been on many ships, the water god has granted me travel plenty of times." Lucy said, deciding it was her turn to speak up.

'It should be enough to play along with his beliefs. He must be from the Akita Kingdom, since they have their odd beliefs.' Lucy thought as she sweat dropped comically.

"Tch... Get out woman. Even with the water god's permission, you will only distract me crew here." He glared at her once more.

"I'll double it." Sinbad spoke up, earning a gasp from Ja'far. The captain shook his head, not budging. Sinbad sighed and held up three fingers.

"Triple." He spoke.

"Fine, keep her away from my crew. If something happens, I throw all ye' off the plank." He growled, sending one last final glare at them all.

"Sin, was that really necessary? I feel really guilty now..." Lucy frowned while glancing at Ja'far, whose soul was practically leaving his body.

"Sin! The company can't take much more of you spending money so carelessly like that!" The white haired boy exclaimed. Sinbad only grumbled something incoherent.

The group soon set sail. Every now and then when Lucy was walking around, she was whistled at and catcalled. Her trusty group of friends glared at everyone, making them back off slightly, downgrading to only doing it when she was alone. No one made moves on her, which she was grateful for. She could easily defend herself, thanks to Muu and Sheba. But she doesn't want to have to hurt anyone.

-

In the matter of only a couple of weeks they finally reached their first destination, Sasan.

-

The Sinbad, Lucy, Ja'far, and Hinahoho walked through the rough mountain trails. No carts could travel on such rocky roads.

"You say that you trust them but I just bet you wanted to go on another adventure." Hinahoho jokes. They all laughed as Sinbad pouted but they continued on their trails. Soon they all stared in amazement as they looked down at the large country of Sasan.

-

"Sasan is known as the Land of Purity. So we need to be careful." Lucy commented as she saw the boys look around at the citizens, who were decked out in rare precious metals. But the villagers, unfortunately for their oddball group, wanted absolutely nothing to do with outsiders. Soon they were all harshly glared at as villagers all scurried away, commenting on how impure the group was.

-

"You want to trade with Sasan? Impossible." The spokesperson said. He went on to say why and Sinbad offered to just learn about the culture.

-

"You'll have to see the Knight King, Darius Leoxis." The man said. Sinbad got riled up as they set off to search for the said King.
