The New World [Magi Fanfic]

Destiny

After Parthevia, the Sindria Trading Company was as busy as ever. But if you had to point out one difference... It would be that it seemed like something must have happened between Sinbad and Serendine.

-----

'It's just as I expected. Sindria Trading Company's affiliation with Parthevia must go against everything she wanted. It's natural she'd resist. But we've only gotten here because we all followed Sin... Just how are we going to make the creation of our country... succeed?' Ja'far thought while watching Serendine leave.

"Sinbad! Ja'far! Lucy!" Vittel yelled as he ran over to the trio.

"What's going on, Vittel?" Lucy asked as she gave the papers in her hands to another employee.

"I'm sorry... but we have a guest." Vittel stuttered out.

"Again...? Can't you handle the visitors right now? I'm--" Sinbad began but Vittel cut him off.

"It's not just any ordinary guest! Its that Royal Magician from Parthevia. Falan." Vittel said seriously as sweat drops came off his cheek. The four of them quickly made their way to the said visitor.

'The magician Falan! Why is she here? According to what Sin said, she should still be in the Parthevian Royal palace, who why would she come all the way? We've got no choice but to meet her and see.' Ja'far thought as they all stopped in front of a woman.

'It's not Falan...?' Ja'far asked as he looked at the woman, who was clearly not Falan.

"Ex...Excuse me! It seems like we have the wrong room..." Ja'far said,

".....No. You have the right room. It's been a long time since we last met... I am Falan. This is the first time you've seen me like this, isn't it?" Falan asked as she watched them at stare at her. Her eyes found the blondes.

'She's so familiar... I cannot place my finger on it...' Falan thought as she eyed the armband on the girl's bicep, feeling a familiar aura around it.

"....Something wrong?" Falan asked, returning her attention to everyone else.

"No. Its just that you gave off quite a different impression before..." Sinbad said, taking a seat across from her.

"That's the look I assume as the royal magician. This is how I really look. Well it has been a long time since I've looked like this." Falan sighed.

'This is Falan...' Mystras thought.

'Yeah, there's no mistake. Thi should be the same magician we fought in Valefor's Dungeon but... she's completely different from when we faced her before....' Hinahoho thought as he and Mystras looked down from her face to her...

"Ahem." Ja'far cleared his throat in anger, causing the two men to flinch, returning their gaze to the woman's face.

'Almost as nice as Lucy's...' Sinbad thought, surprisingly keeping his gaze at her face.

"So? You should be in Parthevia. Why are you here? Does Barbarossa know about this?" Sinbad asked, his voice full of authority.

"No. This isn't an official business. I am here for personal reasons. I came here secretly. Even Lord Barbarossa doesn't know anything about it." Falan shook her head.

"Now that we're allied with Parthevia, we'd be willing to welcome you even though we were former enemies... However there are still some here that hold a grudge against you. Why would you come here on your own?" Ja'far asked, Vittel and Mahad behind him.

"...I came here to tell you something. But I know that you have no reason to trust me. So, no matter what I say, there's no guarantee that you'll believe me. But I still want to try." Falan said, gaining the full attention from everyone in the room.
