The New World [Magi Fanfic]

A Magi?

The next day, the group packed their things as they were being set off by the villagers.

"People of the Torran village, thank you for all your help." Ja'far said as he bowed to them.

"What are you saying? You are the ones who helped us. But are you sure you'd like to leave them for us to deal with?" The chief asked as he gestured to the criminals who were tied up in the cage.

"Yes... they require an appropriate punishment. It was your lives they were after. I'll leave their punishment up to you." Sinbad said as he turned away from the villagers, his companions following suit.

"...I understand. Sinbad. We, the people of Torran, approve of this "World with conflict" that you wish to create. It's very nostalgic...I am happy that someone with the same ideals as our god...has finally appeared." The chief said. Lucy frowned as her hands clenched into fists.

'King Solomon... Alma Torran... Al Tharmen...' Lucy thought as the memories of the utopia were brought back up.

"God... could you be referring to the almighty ruler who once created an actual utopia?" Sinbad asked.

"Oh? You're quite knowledgeable." The chief complimented.

"We learned about him from the Knight King of Sasan. Only, it seems to be legend... and the name of that god has been lost over time..." Sinbad explained.

"I see... so those memories have faded to that extent in the world outside our villages... TO have forgotten his name..." The chief frowned.

"Is that not the case here?" Sinbad asked.

"The Torran people possess a vast library of books and lithographs handed down from ancient times. Our language is just one such artifact. We still remember the name of that god." The chief said but Lucy decided to speak up.

"He was the great king that ruled "Alma Torran" The one and only "god' King Solomon..." Lucy said, earning shocked looks from everyone.

"King Solomon is right young girl. How do you know that?" The chief questioned Lucy.

"I'm afraid I cannot say..." Lucy said, casting her eyes to the side.

"King Solomon..? Thank you very much. I'm glad I could learn his name. Though I wasn't expecting Lucy here to know it." Sinbad said, glancing at his blonde friend.

'I'll question her later...' The teen thought.

"If your curiou, you're welcome to return here to investigate. We would be happy to assist at your request." The chief offered.

"Yes... thank you." Sinbad said with a grateful tone.

The group set off on their journey once more through the desert.

"Umm... Ja'far? What'll happen to those slave traders we caught? It didn't seem like they'd be handed over to officials, so what about their punishment...?" Sharrkan asked. Ja'far lowered his gaze to the sand below him.

"Don't worry about it... It has nothing to do with you." Ja'far said, leaving no room for more questions.

'The world is still full of injustice... Innocent people are suffering, hunted down, and treated as commodities. I won't forgive that. I have to change it... WIth my own two hands..!!' Sinbad thought as he glared at the vast land before him.

"Hey guys! I found a cave over here! We can rest for the night!" Sharrkan shouted to the group while waving his hands frantically.
