"Cyrus, you have grown up so much."Hugging her tight, I say, "Sister, sister, sister.""Cyrus," says back to me."I missed you so, so much.""Cyrus.""I wanted to always see you; I was so scared by myself.""I need you to listen to me.""I am so happy you're ok."Suddenly feeling a thud on my back, I pull back and turn my head to see Atalanta, "Cyrus you're choking her!"Looking at my sister, I see she has almost been crushed to death, with her face looking blue. Shaking her I say, "Sister, sister."Using her bow, Atalanta whacks me across the head and says, "Calm yourself you idiot, do you really think you're going to get anywhere being all ruff like that.""S-S-S-Sorry!"With her face returning to normal, my sister says, "You really have gotten strong."Hearing this I proceed to hug her again. "I can't breathe."From behind us, I hear, "Let go of Lady Pari right now."Turning around, I see the funny man has caught up to us.Standing up my sister says, "Easifatan this is my brother
Φ As I approach Cyrus and Atalanta, I see a beautiful-looking woman beside him, but the thing that I notice first is the fact that this woman has one horn on the right side of her head.Seeing this I run up to Cyrus and I ask, "Is this her!""O-O-Orb this is my sister.""Nice to meet you, my name is Paribanou, and I thank you for being one of my brother's friends, also sorry for all the stress he has caused you.""He hasn't caused any stress at all in fact he has saved me multiple times."With a giggle, she says, "Oh really, I wouldn't have expected such things from Cyrus."As she talks, I notice her heartbeat is skyrocketing, so I ask, "Is everything ok.""Of course, it is, I have just been reunited with my adorable brother," She says giving Cyrus a hug.As Scheherazade approaches, Paribanou bows and says, "Oh, lady Scheherazade what brings you here?""We happen to be looking for these two intruders.""Oh, I wanted to talk to you about that, you see this boy here is my brother."With
Walking through the hall on the way to Ahmed's room, I notice how utterly stunning the palace is. The room we were in was also just as beautiful, not to mention all the clothes we are wearing are incredibly high quality.I guess to buy slaves from across the world you would have to be pretty wealthy, but to throw all these high-quality things at us has got me rather suspicious.Hearing a rather large sound I focus, and I realised Atalanta's heartbeat keeps getting louder and louder. Turning my head, I see she is looking out into the city."Is everything ok?""Aww Orb, are you worried about me, how adorable."Turning my head away, I say, "I take back my concern."Poking my left cheek, Atalanta says, "Looks like someone loves his big sis, Lanta."Poking me on my right cheek, Anto says, "Orb being so obsessed with your sister is bad for your health.""I don't want to hear that from you Anto! And when exactly did I agree you can be my sister."Snickering, Atalanta says, "Look how he is tr
-Break-Φ Standing outside of Yamal's house, I take a second to look at it. The house is rather nicely built, but to be honest I haven't seen a bad house at all in Jedidiah. They are all fairly big, and all of the bigger ones I have seen always have more people living in them, it seems house size is equally distributed with family size.This country is really well run, but I could say the same about Maples Village of Aplos and even Skydust, I guess small communities are just a lot easier to run.Walking towards Yamal's door with the bag of goodies, I knock and stand there awkwardly for a moment as I hear Yamal's footsteps bring him closer to the door. The moment he opens the door, I say, "Sorry about yesterday," while holding up the bags of goodies.Giving me a death stare, Yamal says with a lazy voice, "Come on in bastard."I expected him to be angrier, it seems this is going well!Following him into his house, I see his daughter Raqiue walk up to him and ask with a bright smile, "Ba
Φ Staring down the dark corridor with only a few candles to bestow light upon us, I let out a yawn and say, "This is so boring!""Stop complaining Omar, or do you want me to kick your ass like yesterday?""If my memory is correct, you got your ass kicked by the little boy as well.""Unlike you, I was teleported and jumped by a group of people, I guess your memory was incorrect, but I heard stupid people like you tend to make stuff up all the time.""Say that again!""I will say it as many times as I want."As an intense aura builds up behind us, I turn my head to the side to see Hamza leaking evil. "Listen up you two lower lifeforms, our gracious king apologized to us, and then he even bestowed upon us this job of protecting the lower gate. Do you even understand this great honour given to us worms!""I forgot how much of a fanboy over our king you are.""Of course, I am our king is a one-of-a-kind blessing on this earth.""When the king offered us compensation, you rejected it and of
"What's with you hanging your head so low, come on and call already, you don't plan to fold, do you?"Behind me, one of my friends says, "Amer would never fold, even if his life depends on it!"With a face of dread, I look at my friend as another one of them says, "Yeah even if he has to go home broke forever, he would never fold."You fucking bastards have just made it so much harder to walk out of here."That's good to hear, because you were just running your lips a second ago, if you folded you would be a giant clown," she says with a smile.Behind me, one of my friends says, "The one laughing, in the end, will be Amer, isn't that right guys?""YEAH!" My friends scream. Soon after that, they start cheering my name over and over, "AMER, AMER, AMER, AMER!"Hearing this I start to feel invigorated, what the hell am I getting worked up about, there is no way I can lose with this hand, I have just been letting this little girl get into my head. I am the greatest gambler ever to be born.
Seeing this I run over to Raqiue's body on the ground and check to see if she is ok. There I see she is trembling as she holds her red cheek. Turning over to Yamal, I say, "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!"But what I see is that chains have suddenly appeared from him, the chains are attached by one end and the other end goes on leading out of the ceiling.Yamal says, "I don't want to waste my last few hours here, so the whole lot of you can go fuck off." Grabbing his bag of money Yamal leaves.As he leaves, Amer says, with a strained expression, "That fucking fool, how could he do something like that when he was reaching his limit!"Behind him, one of his friends says, "Don't beat yourself up about this Amer, our king must have already given Yamal a warning, he chooses to do this himself.""What are you guys talking about?"They all look surprised for a second but then Amer says, "I didn't know if I had seen you before, but if you don't know you're probably new to Jedidiah. To put it sim
Every day from that day on I worked. An uneducated man such as myself would have struggled to find work, so Tarina's father allowed me to work for him. He was a merchant, and under the I began to work up the 1 million Lupas I needed to pay him for his daughter.I would go all across Terrafide to sell his goods as a travelling merchant, I would also go to both of the great port cities of Deno and Cordum to sell goods. Standing in Cordum the city where adventures began filled me with hope.But the disappointment I faced with my job was immeasurable."Hey, you how about you buy our fine goods.""Don't bother me.""What about you, I believe this amulet would go quite well with your dress."Putting up her hand, she says, "Please don't breath the same air as me peasant."Every day I would get talked down to or ignored, as I tried to sell goods. The only solace I had was when I returned back to Bêqîmet and got to see Tarina again."Did you just come out of the oven? Because you're hot.""Oh,
