             After having followed Sinbad out of the palace, Fuma went towards the slums where she had grown up, only to find them no longer there. In place of her home was a nobleman's house and a nearly empty section, only a tree there to make the space feel not so empty. 

           "Wh-what?" Fuma gasped in shock, her voice barely above a whisper as she tried to process what she was seeing. 'Where's my home? Where is Cassim? Who dared to take away my mother's death place? Why would someone do this?' 

         "Fuma? Is that you?" a familiar and missed voice was heard, making Fuma twist around to face hers and Alibaba's childhood friend, also her long-time crush, Cassim. He stood about 10 feet away from her with his black sword in his hand and hazel eyes wide in shock at the sight of her. His familiar face made the red haired girl's eyes tear up as she began to run toward him, just wanting to give him a hug after so long of being apart, not noticing his weapon or different eyes.

         Once taking notice of her tears, Cassim opened his arms for Fuma to enter, the shadow that had been in his eyes for the past few years lightening at the sight of the girl he had grown up with now crying into his chest, tears also beginning to enter his eyes. All around the two, other people from the slums appeared with weapons or dying children, all whispering at the sight of their leader embracing what looked to be a rich lady of the court. 

         Beginning to hear all the whispers and footsteps, Fuma pulled her head away from Cassim to look around them, and the sight before her made her eyes widen in anger and shock. Women were holding nearly dead babies, they themselves looing about to die also, children and men who weren't looking as dead held weapons of all kinds, and 2 of the weapons were of dark rukh. Now, actually taking notice of everything around her, she began to feel something cold on her back, right where Cassim's hand is resting. Immediately, Fuma pulled away from her childhood friend and looked at what he held in his hand, finally taking notice of the dark rukh weapon that he wielded. 

"Cassim...where did you get this...monstrosity? How...how did these kinds of weapons even come near this city?"
