The opportunities we may take (Sinbad x OC)

Lost and found

Authors Note:

So, this time it took me a little longer to update, because I wasn't really happy with the chapter. I also started a second story, also a Sinbad X OC. The other one is based on fairly strong nsfw content, while this one will be more plot-heavy.

Ah, for the people who are interested, here is a trivia about Salome's name origin: The name is based on the dancer Salome, who, according to history, enchanted her fellow men with her dance so much that even King Herodes himself wanted to fulfill her every wish. What I would like to point out, however, is that there is a painting of the "true" Salome that is called "The Dance of Salome" or "The Golden Butterflies". I was incredibly surprised to discover a portrait in which a young woman is dancing and was surrounded by an amount of golden butterflies that look like rukh: D Nice coincidence, even if my Salome is not a dancer: D Perhaps I will let her get a dance scene at some point in this story, to pay homage to this piece of classical art :D

Well, here we go

--- Dalmasca, Temple of Dalmasca---

Ja'far, Masrur and Yamraiha decided to give their two other companions a moment alone and made their way up the stairs to the entrance hall. All three pondered over their own thoughts for a while, until the red-haired exgladiator spoke to the other man: "Ja'far, you think too loudly." Blushing, the young man lifted his sleeve over his freckled nose before giving in and sighing loudly:"I only try to process all the information we received today. This whole thing is even more extensive and complicated than I feared."

Yamraiha, who was running behind them hummed in agreement. "This whole situation raises more questions than it actually answers. What do you think of all this 'the reader of the waves is able to shape fate'?... I think it is incredible, but somehow it doesn't sound wrong to my ears.", the magician interjected. "As I said, the situation is really extensive. And this whole thing with the reader of the waves and listener of the rukh is difficult to process. But to be honest, we have all been following Sinbad for a long time now and have a clue what he is capable of, so I shouldn't be surprised at all anymore.", Ja'far confirmed, while messaging his temples in an exhausted manner.

"What worries me is that we now have two of the kind. Salome is not Sinbad, but I have a feeling that she has a huge target on her back with such skills.", mused the king's adviser, receiving an approving murmur from his companions.

"Then we'll protect her!", Masrur decided in a matter of fact. A thoughtful silence spread again between the three generals as they continued to walk through the corridor, the exit already in sight.

"She will be a great asset to Sindria. A second kings-canditate and that Djinn of hers is actually overly powerful. Almost worryingly strong. A leap through time and that through several years... You might think it is she who bends fate according to her will! I'm excited to see what she can do with the powers of the Djinn.", Yamraiha thought aloud when they finally entered the petrified hall.
