Neredene, The Last Soldier (Magi Fanfic)

Collision at Napolia

I closed my eyes slowly. The chains that held me onto the wall kept me there. My body aches in pain and itched to be released. I cursed at my own stupidity.

"Darn," I swore.

"Now, Now," the freak of a guard told me, "It's not good for a young lady to use such foul language.

I felt his footsteps approach me. A shadow cast down my own. He chuckled. I kept my face down. He grabbed my face and forced me to look at him.

"Such a beautiful butterfly," he said softly as he inched downward to my face.

I came face to face with him. My purple eyes matching his blue ones. I spat on his cheek. He slapped me. Although conjuring all of his strength, I didn't move.

"More like a dessert snake," he hissed. I sighed.

"This is boring," I said. I slowly began to pull my chains and shackles off. I pulled them off with ease and hopped onto the floor.

The man, who seemed to once be my superior, was shaking on the floor.

"W-What are you," he fearfully cried. I shrugged.

"I think a better question for you would be... What will become of you?"

I walked up to the man and grabbed his chest plate. I pulled him up, only for him to be hanged by hand. I looked at him. He was quaking in fear. I was emotionless. I sighed and threw him. I turned around, hearing the sound of breaking bones as I walked away.

'It is a cold night,' I groaned in annoyance as I shivered a bit.

"Well, now to find shelter," I muttered.

I walked down the port of Napolia. Merchants and people were here and there. I would have to move out soon for staying here so long.

I looked up at the sky.

It's been so long...

Since I was there...

6?

No..

7 years at most...

I began walking into the ally. I met a dead end and smiled.

Perfect.

Earlier, I hid my belongings here, as well as my extra clothing. Not caring if a person saw me, I tore off the rags the guard forced me to wear and put on some clean clothes. I wrapped my breasts in cloth, to hide my womanly figure. I had a loose shirt that fell right below my belly button and breasts. I then put on some pants. I put my pants on, as well as a purple tribal vest. I threw on my hood and cape. I chuckled, at my non feminine. In reality my bust was small and I had no breasts but, wrapping those small little hills on my chest made me secure.

I glanced at my other spare clothes and cringed. It was a purple breast wrapping, tight pants, jewelry, a thin sheer skirt and gladiator sandals. That set of clothing only served one purpose...and always will be until it was needed for later.

I closed my bag, which was filled with my clothing, and placed it on. I had my dagger hidden under my cape. I walked back into the streets.

A group of people, who were seemingly stunned, were standing in front of a merchants' shop.

"OUR MERCHANDISE IS BEING SOLD-"

And then they calmed down.

"In someone else's shop..."

"What is going on??" A small white haired boy said, quivering a bit.

"We've been cheated?!"

"Isn't this fraud?!"

I chuckled at their stupidity... but then again... they must be new merchants of some sort. I had no time to loose.

I walked away, ignoring their current situation. I went into a shop and ate some fish with a few bronze coins and walked out into the port.

I came across a large ship, foreign from the ships I've seen. Then something caught my eye. The same people were there. I smirked, maybe I'll be able to see myself to some entertainment.

I slowly walked behind a cargo bridge. I slowly used my magoi to make my presence unknown. I listened in.

"Sinbad, is this really alright?"

I froze. Sinbad... I tried to force the name to be forgotten and erased... but I couldn't. I glanced back, and he was gone. I sighed but soon grew vigilant. Suddenly I was pulled upward. I yelped.

"Who are you?" Sinbad asked. I looked at him shocked. He hadn't changed a bit except for the loss of baby fat. I blinked.

I quickly pushed myself up from his arm, hand stood on it and hopped off, landing on my two feet.

I stood in my stance, away from him. I kept my cold eyes on him, glaring.

"I won't be asking you again," he said quickly walking towards me, "Who are you." I was more of a statement rather than a question.

"No one," I said and tried to jump off the port. An arm caught me and held me before my feet even left the ground. I looked grimly at the ground.

"Sin?" A voice called, "Are you in need of assistance?"

"No," he said, "Leave now until I have to wait longer for you all." He continued to hold me down and the ship slowly began to sail away.

"Darn you," I cursed. I heard him sigh.

He faced me and said, "Who are you and what business do you have with me and my crew."

"Nothing," I grumbled, "I was just curious..."

"No you weren't," he said, "I saw you earlier looking at us. Now who are you."

I froze... "Paizar," I said. It wasn't a complete lie... I think. I mean, it was my cousin's name?? Well.... I think is was?? I mean I looked like him so I could just say my name is-

"No, it isn't," he said as he shook me. I glared at his brown eyes.

"Yes. It. Is." I said gritting my teeth, "Now let me go!"

"No," he said plainly, "Until you tell me who you are I won't let go."

I shrugged. "Fine by me," I said, "If it's the only way I could convince you that Paizar is my name."

He sighed. How many times can a guy even sigh in one night?!

He pulled me to the side and grabbed the rope that was on top of the cargo. I smiled. This was going to be easy.

He tied both of my wrists with a single rope, then triple wrapped and knotted them. Then he held my wrists and pulled me along with him.

"All you had to do was at least tell me you name..." he sighed.

"Heh," I smiled, "When you catch a dungeon."

He stopped and smirked, "I already have."

I smile. It really is Sinbad...

I shifted uneasily and pulled myself away from him and ripped the rope apart.

"The first letter is N!"
