The Enchanting Witch// Magi•Sinbad

•chapter 15•

Something went wrong when I tried publishing this chapter and legit half of it was cut so I'm reposting it hopefully it'll turn out how I wrote it.

~Merlins pov~

Now that's what I call an introduction, a very tempting one at that. I mean could you blame me? He is incredibly handsome and could easily step all over me due to how beastly big he was. I don't usually find myself to be submissive, I like to be the dominant one at all times, and I mean ALL times. Just because he's 10x bigger than me and glaring down at me with such an intensely strong gaze doesn't mean I'll submit to him, he will submit to me.

"Did you think you could bring me back to your room, patch me up and get a reward?" I tsked, glaring back at the redhead with a stare that versed his own.

"Let me get this clear 'daddy'; I am no baby, I am all woman. So don't think you have to be gentle with me, because trust me, i won't be gentle with you," I purred, dragging my pointer finger down his chest as his ruhk flutter around in anticipation. "Now, lay down. It's my turn to take care of you, daddy."

~Sinbad's POV~

"Hey, idiot King," turning my attention away from the beautiful young women who have clung themselves to me, vying for me attention, I am faced with a drunk dark magi.

"Hey Judal, have you been enjoying tonight's festivities?" I winked, draping my arms over the girls on either side of me as they poured me another glass of wine, having lost count of how many drinks I've had I gladly take it and raise it towards Judal. "Come, join me! Let's drink and celebrate together."

"Would be good if you'd stop dragging me away from my master," he hissed, not pleased with my attempts to send 'company' his way. The dark magi's aura was so thick with malice and hate that it sent the beautiful women that were accompanying me running from his mean gaze, despite my pleas to stay, leaving us alone. Judal seemed pleased to have me all to himself, as he smirked to himself and took a seat next to me on the now empty lounge I sat on. "You know some people might say I'm mean-"

"And most will say you're a devil," I fake laughed, but it didn't go past Judal, as he just glares at me for interrupting him.

"-Yes, and they aren't wrong. I'm horribly terrible and love to cause havoc and war everywhere I go and unlike you I'm open and honest about how shitty of a person I am. From the day we are born we are tied down by 'fate', we are bound to it's rules. Fate made me a magi and that led to the death of my parents. Fate takes away your parents and some how you're a king and the most powerful man on Earth," he said rather nonchalantly, as if it was nothing to him. He then took a deep breath in, closing his eyes as he did so.

"That's why I find it so hard to believe," opening his eyes he stared at me with a blank stare. "That we can both be in positions of disadvantage when it comes to 'fate' yet you still haven't cursed your own fate. It's not fair. Why do you get to smile everyday when I'm forever haunted by the memories of the events caused by fate. Why did fate make you the good guy and me the villain?"

He...... thinks I haven't cursed my fate. But I thought he knew I was half fallen? Thinking back to the other night I clearly remember Merlin claiming Judal was the one who told her I was half fallen, but looking at Judal now I know he is clueless to this. I had assumed because he's a magi that he might've seen through me and figured it out on his own, but he hasn't. I haven't told anyone about me being half fallen...... this means Merlin knew on her own..... this means she can see through me.

"I guess it's because I'm a singularity," I shrugged. "And you Judal, you are not a villain. I wouldn't be friends with you if you were."

"Yeh, we wouldn't be friends if I was a villain....." Judal repeated, slowly letting a smile form on his pale face as he looked up at me, making me return a smile; a fake smile.

Because what I had said was a lie. Judal is a villain and I do not see us as friends, but to get him on my side I'm gonna have to make him believe we are. Judal and I are joined by fate; unfortunately.

"With our powers combined, we'll be unstoppable," Judal started to laugh crazily causing me to let out a drop of sweat.

"Uhhhh- let's toast! To friendships," we both cheers and carry on with the festivities, joining the other generals as we celebrate our countries newest members, the only people missing being Masrur and Merlin.

This was expected since I had asked Masrur to keep and eye on her tonight, considering what happened at the last festival, I've realised that its best to keep far away from that woman when she has been drinking. That how ever might be the death of me.

"YOU MORON! WHERE IS MY MASTER!?" A very drunk and angry magi screams at me while chasing me around our table, all the generals seated at the table crying with laughter as Judal drunkly shots ice cubes at me. "RETURN HER TO ME."

I should've seen this one coming, Judal can't go too long without being with Merlin and now he's having a tantrum to have her with him. I hope Masrur has been taking care of the witch, or else this new 'friendship' will have ended before it even started. "Ok, ok, ok, I'll go and search for her so don't cry."

I laughed running into the castle with Judal cussing me out and calling me names on my way in. The castle halls are empty and quiet, the only noise coming from the party outside. This is because I make the whole country attend the festivals, that includes all the workers in the palace.

"Masrur!?" I call out into the palace, knowing he'll hear me with his fanilise hearing.

After waiting a couple moments I get no reply.

"Masrur?!" I yell out louder this time, my voice bouncing off the walls causing an echo to roll down the halls. Then there was a open and slam of a door from somewhere in the palace, followed by footsteps tapping down the halls . "Masrur, where have you been?"

"He WAS about to go to town until you came along," emerging from the dark wasn't my Fanalis general, but instead my dark magi's master. "I can't have any play time with you always interrupting."

Sorry this is rushed and unedited sorry if it doesn't make sense in places.
