The final war

[maeve3000]

I loved it
I like it bring back some old charackters and it is written so nicely.
very very very nice

[Firouz]

AWESOME plot line!
I can't wait to see all the details that will make this a beautiful story!
I can't wait!

[Eric/Deamus]

i like the development of events in your story very much,, and i wonder what'll happen next

loved how you make Firouz helping Bryn in her studying and searching in the old magic books,,, it should be like that, but i think no one thought about it before, i mean after Maeve who can do the job and being so qualified in helping Bryn even if it wasn't his domain ? simply Firouz good point

then also i love how Sinbad and his crew passing by the old islands and lands they have been in before, very realistic,, in his way back to Basra or Baghdad he should only find those old islands/lands,,, seeing this is small area after all after a year or 2 Sinbad should have been visiting them all so logically there is no new islands in the same area,, very realistic thought and good point,, i love also the idea they would met by old friends and people familiar to us,

Bryn discovering that much about magic and the realm, is really good, i like the brunette and love the stories that respect her and give her the importance she deserved,, she should have one big role in fictions telling the supposed to be S3,,
also the idea of the invisible/hidden incantation attracted my attention nice idea really, and the history you created about the realm is sooooooo interesting,,, i really admire this part

finally Rongar being now with Maeve in the hidden realm, is quite unexpected bu very interesting,, thing is my imagination brings me too far to think about what if it wasn't really the same realm and it wasn't Maeve ? i mean with Rumina love to play games she may be playing with Rongar one game before attacking him, may be even cause him to do things against the crew benefit without him knowing it thinking he is helping them with Maeve,
sure my imagination took me too far, but it's a possible idea, right ? even for a new story

all in all very good plot, and i'm waiting for the next development
thanks for sharing it with us,,

Thanks for all your comments I am happy that you like my story.

I am planning the next parts, but I have a lot of work with the preparation at the final state exam in the present time, i will be doing this exam at the end of this month. I will be probably working on it for evenings and i will be doing shorter posts

Eric/Deamus: Your idea with fake Maeve is interesting, but it will be Maeve really, but I have prepared something similar later, our villians will be trying to destroy our crew all possible properties, this kind od manipulation of mind affects one member of the crew at least and some their allies

The next piece of my story and the next part i probably create after next Wednesday, when I should have pass my final exam.

The mood on the board of Nomad was very despondent during the rest of the voyage to Baghdad. Only good news was that none of survivors has any serious injury although the most of them needed some time for healing their wounds. The shocking event rocked all the people on the ship. The whole crew knew that was not any chance for the return on the island and even in the case that there was a similar chance they could not have helped Rongar and Barada but it was the weak consolation. Bryn sensed that none of them is dead and it was confirmed after her attempt to connect with Dim Dym, this effort was successful for a very short moment. Bryn and Firouz continued with searching the last clue from the book, Sinbad and Doubar also tried to help them in the moments when they were not at the tiller. It was the terrible blow for all of them. They hoped that they find Dim Dym and Maeve very early and instead of this, the next two members of the crew suddenly were gone. Bryn was sure that she is very close to finding the solution. “The good magicians who found this island used the incantation, which they found in some old books. Evil sorcerers did not believe that is any possibility to leave this island and when two of the good magicians were able to return back, they were horrified by it. They tried to destroy all books with this incantation and they tried to kill both these magicians. And they were successful in their killing, but one of them was able to keep this book where he had left help for all good sorcerers who would attempt to find this island. And the incantation is not our only problem. There is the mention about a guardian of this place, which is the last obstacle to prevent from leaving of the island.”

Maeve showed Rongar and Barada the whole island. Rongar and Maeve were pleased that they are together again, but the circumstances were not good. “It will be dangerous to leave, Rongar.” she said. “Dim Dym knows that Bryn will find the last clue very soon. This place was created as the worst punishment only for the most hated opponents of the evil sorcerers. You can find here only around ten people now, including the three of us and Dim Dym. You can find food and water here, you have basic things for surviving. Our punishment is complete isolation by the normal world. Evil sorcerers thought that nobody can escape. But they created a fuse for each case. A few years ago, a group of the good magicians were able to use the incantation and they found this island. They wanted to free the trapped people but there are two complications. The first of them is the finding of the incantation. This island is in another realm. Nobody can arrive and leave without this incantation. If you try to leave the island without it, you can sail for the sea, which is ahead of us for years, and you never find any firm ground. And there exists the second problem. When a good magician tries to leave the island he will wake up a water demon, which is the above mentioned fuse, that should prevent anybody with the good heart leaves this island alive. I and Dim Dym have met one of the magicians, who tried to leave this island a few years ago. There were around fifteen people, who tried to leave this island. Eleven of them were killed by this demon, two of them had to return on the shore. Only two of them were able to go through the portal back into our world.” “We have good prospects.”, said Barada gloomily. “I and Dim Dym have trained some spells for this case when we found this. And Bryn was supposed to find the mention about it in Caipra’s books. When we three join our magic power, we should be able to escape this water monster. If these magicians expected this, the result of the situation could have been different. We have an advantage, we know about this creature and its existence.” Rongar smiled at her and Barada said: “It is good to hear that there still exists some hope for us.”

[Doubar]

Oooh, dear. Of course it couldn't be this easy. So there's a water demon protecting the hidden isle. Hope Maeve is right and together with Bryn she and DimDim will be able to escape. >.<

At any rate, I'm glad to see that Rongar and Barada are fine.

Thanx for continuing with your fic. But take your time with everything. Exams are definitely more important.

The next piece of my story, it is good that the writing of this story is also the good way of practicing my writing skills.

There existed next things which were able to spoil the mood of everyone. Basra had lost a very important colony and Omar had fear that Basra is unable to resist enemies for a longer time. “We still have few smaller colonies, but this colony provided our city the most important resources: for example food, the metals for weapons, wood and some people for complement our army. After its loss our enemies concentrate on Basra and it can be the end of my city. I must return. I must try to fight with my soldiers.” He really wanted to return but it was not possible. Basra was a few days of sailing and the crew had to reach Bagdad very quickly, it was clear that Casib has serious problems to protect his city. If the enemies conquered Bagdad they would lose one of the strongest opponents. Omar understood these reasons but he was not able to stop thinking about the fate of his city. He relied on his best man Albetta, who was the leader of defence in his city during his absence.

The day after the defeat of the colony Albetta was waiting in the port, he hoped that some ships arrive with new supplies and new fighters. It passed almost one week since the last major delivery from this colony. The city was attacked huge waves of enemies each of these days, supplies were almost gone, and a lot of fighters were dead or were unable to continue with fighting. The city was prevented also with the usage of modern inventions, Firouz recommend Omar one good colleague, who was also an enthusiastic scientist. These inventions were located in the port from the bigger part; it was the most important place in the city, because the new supplies and new fighters came over it. Attacks were coming from the air or from elevated mountain areas; the fighters of enemies had a base somewhere here, but a few groups of Omar’s guards were not able to find it. The edges of the city were also closely guarded and small groups of soldiers were strategically placed throughout the city, but after each attack was more difficult to keep these bases.

Albetta was waiting for two hours in the port, but there did not appear any ship. Albetta felt, that his worst fears had probably become the cruel reality. From the reports which he and next people from the city gained by the people who arrived from this colony he knew that the situation is not good on the island. The fact that Omar decided to go for help personally testified about seriousness of the situation absolutely clearly. Albetta offered him that he goes instead him, but Omar had some good friends here and hoped that it will be possible to reverse the crisis on the island. “This colony is our greatest support. Without it, our city is probably doomed. You are able to protect this city for some time without me; it has a better strategic position than this colony. This colony is our biggest priority now; this is the reason, why I want to be there personally. I take some great fighters with me and I hope that we manage to save something.” And the absence of the supply ships testified that the colony has been destroyed yet or its end is not far away. Albetta turned towards the city, because he heard the signal one of the guards. It could mean only one thing: a new attack on the city was approaching. Albetta asked one of the soldiers in the port for watching the horizon for the case that some ships arrive. But he did not believe in this.

Albetta arrived to the house, whose roof was the habitat for his group. He ran up to the roof, he did not see any Harpies in the air; it looked at the ground attack. “What do you see?” he asked. One of his soldiers gave him magnoscop. Albetta looked through it and he saw the extremely big group of fighters with Turock headed which was approaching the city from the west. “This group must have a few hundred members at least.” he whispered. “We have not any chance, my leader.” said the soldier standing next to him. “How many fighters do we have now?” asked Albetta. “We have only around thirty men. Six of them in the port, two groups are on west edge of the city.” “How many civilians are in the city now?” “Only around twenty. A lot of people left this city during last few weeks.” “Take five men with you and bring all civilians into the port, Gart. You could take one of the ships and leave the island. The protection of the port is still quite strong. You should try to get into Bagdad. I and the rest of the troops are going to help soldiers on the western edge of the city. We will try to get some time for you.“ “But you have no chance against this outnumbered.”, said Gart. “The inventions in the city are in poor condition, with the exception of the port, from the death of the inventor. You have terribly small number of men.” “I promised Omar, that I will be defending the city until the last breath. If this saves some women or children, I will do it without hesitation. Please, you should start with the evacuation.”

The big confusion occurred in the streets over the next few minutes. Gart and few soldiers started to circulate homes and they informed people about the situation. People started to hurry into the port. The rest of the soldiers got the information about the Albetta’s decision and they started to hurry toward the west edge of the city. Albetta during his way to the west edge saw something dark above the hill behind the city and he recognized it. “It looked that we also meet with the Harpies for the last time. Oh, I missed these awful creatures so much.” All soldiers took up positions on the western edge of the city. The group of enemies was almost there. Turock was scornfully smiling at the group of soldiers in front of him. “You can not defeat my army. I have one special offer for you. You will give up and you will declare me as the new ruler of the country instead your loving and dead Omar. If you do it, I will be thinking about the possibility, that we will kill only some of you.” Albetta looked around himself. Some soldiers were clearly nervous and shocked the information about the death of Omar but they did not look that they want to give up. “Do you want to talk or you want to fight?” shouted Albetta. “You do not get our city into your dirty hands without a fight.” “I hoped in this.” said Turock with a devil smile. “It will be funnier. So, it is time to start with the new capitol in the history of this city. Kill them all. And our heroic leader will go as the last person.” Skeletons and Scratch’s fighters started to run towards the city. “We must gain time for our people. Good luck of everyone. I hope that we meet in another life again.” told Albetta his comrades and he started to run towards the enemies, his men also. A lot of Harpies appeared above the heads of the defenders of the city, but they did not attack them, they flew towards the port. “No, It can not be true.” shouted Albetta desperately. “Your evacuation plan will not work. Your women and children will not be killed. I will need some slavers later. But we have a lot of better fighters than you are.” smiled Turock. Both groups of fighters reached themselves and the final battle about Basra started. Albetta had only time for the thought if the inventions which protect the port help people to run. After this thought, he could have concentrated on the fight only. But he knew that only one result is possible. “Good luck, Bagdad. I hope that you will be able to defy this evil better. We failed.”

I wanted to practise my writing skills before the test from the English language, so I wrote the next piece of my story.


At the same time, when Basra was fighting in its last battle, the Sinbad’s ship arrived in the Bagdad’s port. The port was protected by the inventions, similarly as Basra was. The crew visited the city occasionally and Firouz left some his inventions and instructions for their usage there. Bagdad was the bigger city than Basra and after the defeat of the smaller islands a lot of survivors have resorted here. A lot of people felt that Casib is very uncertain in his decisions during the fights, he was too young and he had not much experience with fighting against such strong evil. But he had a piece of luck, because he found a few good and more skilled strategists among the survivors. The attacks at his city were very frequent and he really needed a big advantage. He knew about the dramatic events, which happened in the lives of the members of the crew from the moment when they helped him to save his wife. He hoped in the help of magic and he heard about the progress which Bryn did in her magic. He also heard about the magic books, which she got and he decided to ask the crew for help.

The small group of people was waiting in the port for the arrival of the ship. The new advisor of Casib was among them, he named Bastar. “Welcome to our city, the captain. I heard a lot of stories about you and your crew and I am glad that we have the opportunity for the meeting. I would wish the better conditions for our first meeting, but we have not any influence in this field. I have to take you to the palace; my king is waiting for you.” “Thanks for your nice welcome in your city, but we must ask you for a small kindness. We have a few injured people on the board of our ship and I think that is not the good idea to leave them on the board. Do you have some room for them in our city?” “I am sure that we will find some places for them. Our people care about this issue.“ He turned towards one of the soldiers and told him: “Merro, you will take a few men and you can start with this. We have a few empty houses in the city. And you can call our doctor. She will have some work in the next few hours.” Sindibad nodded his head and he ordered three sailors from his crew to help these soldiers. After this, he and the rest of the crew followed Bastar to the palace. Bryn had the book with her, with the help of Firouz she found the piece of the incantation and she believed that she will find the rest of the incantation very quickly. It was good for her that Firouz had a lot of skills with deciphering of the ciphers.

I created the next piece of my story...

The king Casib was waiting in his palace. He was very nervous and tired. Although he was only twenty six years old he looked that he has already reached his forties at least. The better strategic position of the city and the support of a few good strategists from some islands helped him to save his city before the fate which befell Basra. He did not know about the final attack at Basra but he knew that the situation is not good in Basra. He hoped that the arrival of the crew is the good sign and that they will manage to make a twist in course of the war together. He ordered his people to prepare everything for its arrival. Now his advisor entered into the throne room and he announced: “My King, the captain Sinbad and his crew are there.” “Thank you, Bastar.” said Casib. “Let them come, please.”

The crew entered. “It is the pleasure to see you again, my Prince. Oh, I am sorry. I'm not used to it that you are the king now.” said Sinbad. “I am very glad that you are willing to help us in this serious situation. I can not imagine the better help than you are.” He went towards Sinbad and he shook his hand. The big smile appeared on his face at the same time, the thing which he experienced very little in the last few months. After Sinbad, he greeted Doubar and Firouz. “I heard about your injury, Firouz. Our doctor could help you. We have an excellent expert in this field now.” “Thank you, my King,” said Firouz with the emphasis on the word the king and he looked at Sinbad who smiled slightly, “but I think that I did everything which is possible for this. It is not so bad. I am a little slower and I do not prefer the longer walks anymore.” The finding the part of the incantation improved the mood the whole crew a little. They felt that they will meet with their friends again in a very short time. “”I bet that you will appreciate her help, when you find more about her.” said Casib with a strange smile. “And you must be Bryn. I heard about you and it is the pleasure to meet you personally.” greeted Casib Bryn and he shook her hand.

“Do you have some news about Dim Dym?” turned Casib to Sinbad. “I hoped that you had found him. I think about his fate sometimes. It was my fault from the one part. And I know that Maeve is with him in the present time. I am so sorry.” "We have the good track to their place of residence. We believe that we will find them very soon. And not only them.” “What do you mean?" said Casib, but he realized it very quickly. “I knew that I am missing a familiar face there." He saw a few crewmen whom he remembered from his short staying on the board, some of them were new for him, but one well-known member of the crew was not there. "The stress of my situation adversely affects my perception sometimes. Rongar… He is with them also?” “Unfortunately yes. It is the longer story.” Doubar joined to the conversation. Casib bowed his head. “I experienced the short moment of pleasure and I must return to the reality. Only bad news. I would like to hear a little more about it and if I could offer some help in this issue later, It would be the pleasure for me. But there are the next important events which we must discuss. I prepared small refreshments for you but we must discuss about the situation of the city very early. And my advisors prepared some documents for this discussion. I think that you know some of them.” Casib led the crew to the dining hall, where the table with food was prepared. Casib's wife Adina was there and she greeted the crew with the smile. "Please, sit down. You are tired undoubtedly." Sinbad turned to Casib. "And your father? What his health is doing?" "It is better. He might visit us later."

One important note: this story ignores the storyline of the second season with the exception of the first episode (only with the usage of some characters from the second season as Barada or Albetta). I decided to use it for the reason, that I want to write the story which pretends that Sinbad did not become the captain Casanova.

[Doubar]

Wow, now you added quite some parts since I last had the chance to stop by at this thread. I will try to catch up with the updates soon, but unfortunately my time is rather limited these days. But some day I will definitely check the latest parts out.

[manche]

It is okay, i have worked on it for small pieces. It will be the big story with a lot of details, for example the last two topics are only about the arrival the crew to Bagdad and the meeting with Casib. But i want to give the room not only the crew, but also the next interesting characters (interesting for me or I have different reasons for their including, as in the case of Barada).

But it is nice to hear that there is the interest about my story.

[manche]

The next piece of my story.

The strategy of the enemies in Bagdad was same as was in Basra. The city was attacked by the waves of Harpies from the air or the skeletons and Scratch’s firefighters from the ground, because they also had a base somewhere in the forests behind the town. Some of the Casib’s guards tried to find this base, but without the success. The last searching group was attacked by the Scratch’s firefighters and the most of its members was killed or seriously injured. After this situation, one of the Casib’s advisors, the king Shadbush, whose kingdom was able to prevent the enemies for six months but without the sufficient number of warriors could not have stopped the numerous army of the enemies and had to be evacuated, recommended him to stop with the attempts to find this base and he said that he considers to be the necessary thing to create the strongest protection at the northern side of the town because the rest of the city can not be so easily attacked by the enemies as the ocean was around these three sides. There were chosen a few houses for the patrols because the attacks of Harpies could have been expected from any side. Casib’s advisors gave him useful advice for the protection of the city and it looked that their effort helps a little and that the attacks at the city are not as devastative as they were before. Unfortunately, it was the semblance from the part which was caused by the fact that Turock felt that Omar got to the weaker position and that they have the opportunity to defeat Basra definitely. For this reason the attacks were more concentrated on Basra for the last few days and Bagdad although was still attacked was able to resist the smaller waves of the enemies better. But the big problem was that each attack meant some losses for the defenders of the city and in the situation when smaller islands in the area was conquered or in the better cases they were under the permanent attack it was impossible to replace the losses which Bagdad gained during the battles. Some of the inventions which were used for protection were badly damaged during the battles and it was very hard to fix them when the supplies in the city were slowly running out. One of the refugees was the magician Tiresias from the island Arborea who used some spells for the protection of city, but his magic was not so effective he was too old and he was weaker every day.

After the refreshment, the king Casib led the crew back to the throne room. His advisors were waiting for the arrival of the crew. The crew really knew two of Casib’s advisors. Both of them were now very closely the door and they welcomed the crew very warmly, the crew also had the pleasure from the reunion with them. One of them was the king Shadbush from the Isle of Leopold whose daughter Gaia was saved before the vampire Vatek thanks to the crew. The second was Borell from the island Scroff. The next three men were the new king from the island Arborea Callas, the brave soldier Nesthar who was the leader of the rebellion in Bollnah against the cruel ruler Ali Rashid and he was able to overthrown him, after this event he was proclaimed as the new ruler of this island and the last man named Matsue. They also heard about the reputation of the crew and they were pleased that they have the honour to meet them. All these men were the good rulers and the capable fighters but the strength of their enemies was too strong and they were forced to leave their islands but they wanted to continue with the fight. “We prepared for you some details about the situation here.” said Borell after a few minutes. “It is necessary to do something for the definitive destruction of these wizards.”

All information about the situation of the city was given the crew during a few minutes. “Sinbad,” started Casib after a few moments of silence “the situation in this part of the world is critical. We do not have any information about the situation of Basra. I am afraid that its defeat is inevitable. We heard about the situation of its colonies. A few smaller islands are still fighting but they are very small and their resistance is not so big. If Rumina and the others conquered Basra and Bagdad they would gain the better strategic position for the attacks at the neighbouring kingdom.” “We know that they have already attacked some islands in the next parts of the world. But these attacks were not so strong. But when they conquer this area their attacks at the next parts of the world will become more destructive. They will conquer one kingdom after another. Their armies consist of the people who are afraid of them or they want to gain a piece of their power and from the horrible magical creatures for example from these Harpies or these fire fighters. These creatures are really dangerous and their killing is not easy. And they can create more these creatures during a moment.” added Nesthar. “And we can not also underestimate their human followers. I saw them during one attack. They are more animals than people. They would be able kill their own mother for a few gold coins and the cruelty is the natural part of their characters. Especially the pirates who desire after blood and they are known because of this in many countries. Do you know the names as Radue, Traxis or Plunkett?” asked Borell the crew. “We had the pleasure with some of these rogues.” nodded Doubar his head. “Our city needs the better protection which could reverse the result of our fight. We need to fix the damaged intentions which protect our city and it would be great to increase their potential or create some new inventions.” continued Casib with his thoughts. “Firouz, could you help our people with this issue a little? I realize that your leg needs a bit of peace, but if you could help in a limited scale...” “I am very glad that you have the worries about my health but i am able to work normally, my injury is not so bad. I can create something but we must count with the fact that we have a limited amount of the materials for the creation of new inventions or for the reparation of the damaged inventions. I will do everything what is in my power.” “And i can use some magic which i have learnt during this year. But i am not sure if this helps for a longer time. The powerful magicians as Turock, Scratch or Rumina are able to overcome similar magic. But it could give us some time for finding the incantation which we need for finding the most powerful source of good.” offered Bryn. “All people in my city are ready for any necessary help, Sinbad. Do you help us? You can be the leader of our people.” asked Casib.

“We will do everything what is in our power. But for the final destruction of our enemies will need something more powerful. Bryn said it correctly.” Sinbad smiled at his friend. “We will do all necessary preparation for the protection of this city. Casib has the truth. Without Basra and Bagdad is this area sentenced to the destruction. But i will be trying to save this small piece of the world until i will be alive. We must start with it immediately.” “Do you have some suggestions?” asked Casib. Sinbad turned towards the rest of the men in the room. “We will be working at the inventions according Firouz’s instructions with the rest of the citizens. And Firouz, i think that i will give you one important task. You will be saving your leg a little. And you will visit the doctor as Casib offered you. You can consider it to be the order of the captain.” He raised his hand as a sign of the fact he does not want to hear any objections which he read from the Firouz’s expression. “Your injury can have the minimal consequences when you will save it. You said it when you started to treat your injury. I remember it clearly. And I am sure that i am not alone in this.” “I also remember it very clearly.” joined Doubar to Sinbad. Bryn looked at Firouz with the smile and he raised his hands in resignation. “I must give up under the pressure. But i will prepare some plans and some next ideas for the workers. And i want to watch the progress of this and i want to join to the work in a limited scale. Nobody in the world is able to prevent me from this.” Sinbad nodded. He turned towards Bryn. “Bryn you could prepare some spells for the protection of the city at first. And after that you will have the only aim. You will find the rest of the incantation. We must find our friends and this powerful weapon very quickly. I wish help you so much but we need all hands for the creation the best possible defence until the moment when we will find the key for our final victory. But Firouz could help you. Ciphers are his domain.” All people in the room started to rise and they went to the door. “We should start in the port it is one of the most important places for us.” said Shadbush. “I will look at it first. I will see which kind of repairs or improvements we need there." declared Firouz. Sinbad, Bryn and Doubar stayed as the last people in the room. Sinbad wanted to say something to Bryn. “Bryn, I do not want to push on you but you know the importance of this. You have my complete trust. I have no doubts; you will manage to do it.” He smiled at her. “I will be trying. I will not disappoint you.“ “It will be good, Bryn. If you will need the next help, we help you very willingly. You need not hesitate.” said Doubar with the smile. The trio also left the room after this small talk.

The next part of my story:


The preparations for the better protection of Bagdad started during a few moments. All people in the city realised that they have not much time. It was really the truth because at the same time Basra was definitely defeated. All its soldiers were fighting with the usage all their strength but the enemies were stronger and it was very hard to destroy them in some cases it seemed almost impossible. The most of them was killed; the bravest men were spared for a shorter time because Turock wanted to execute them before the eyes of the surviving citizens, Albetta was among them. The ship which tried to leave the port with the citizens was attacked by the Harpies and it did not manage to get away from this place. Gart and the most of the defenders of this ship were killed but the most of the escaping citizens were spared as the servants for Turock and his comrades. One of the surviving citizens was also Caipra. Turock thought that would be useful to have the approach towards some spells from the field of the white magic and he decided to save her life for some time.

After the end of the battle Turock was sitting in the Omar’s beautiful palace, he was drinking the best wine which he found in the cellar and he was enjoying his victory. A few of his new servants were forced to flog the surviving soldiers before his eyes for his amusement. Their executions were planned at sunset on the large square. He was not alone there, during the day his daughter and Scratch joined to him and they congratulated him for his big victory. “I must admit that did not expect that this cooperation will be so useful when we made this deal.” said Scratch with the satisfying smile on his lips. “You should know that the cooperation with our family is the guarantee of quality for everyone, even for such an ugly demon as you are.” commented Rumina his speech ironically. “It hurts, my dear. I hope that we will become the happy big family when we conquer the entire world together. You could marry me after that, my beautiful witch.” Rumina wanted to comment this repetitive note but she did not get to chance because of Turock’s intervention. “We must concentrate on our next aims. I am getting tired of listening to this stupid argument by you. I have heard it a thousand times at least. I want to clear two things for you definitely. At first,” Turock turned his head towards Scratch “I do not give my beautiful daughter someone who has antlers on his head and hooves on his feet although as the ally is invaluable. And the second thing relates to you, my dear. You immediately stop commenting this offer. You should recognize that he has the fun from your flurry.“ He scratched his head and he continued with his thoughts which included the future actions for the conquest of Bagdad. “This area of the world is ours. We have the last obstacle in this part of the world and this obstacle is Bagdad. They have quite good protection here; I heard it by our servants who frequently try to defeat this city. The people there had a little easier situation in the last days, but this advantage ended today. It is not important how good this protection is. We are able to overcome this equipment and I am sure that we will not need so much time for this.”

“And did you hear the latest news? Bagdad was waiting the new support. Do you want to guess who is hidden behind the term support?” asked Scratch. “Yes I know it. They are expecting our famous captain and his capable crew. I do not understand what Casib exactly expects from them. They had a few successes in the fight with evil in the past but they can not compare with our current strength.” "You seem a little with confidence, Turock. You should not forget that among their successes was also the mission which ended your death. Without my assistance, you would not be now in this beautiful palace but in an another place and you can bet that this different place would not be so comfortable.” Turock felt the sudden wave of the anger, but he had not time for any comment. “I do not want to offend you but we must think realistically. All of us underestimated this damn crew during our encounters with it and we must not repeat this mistake again. They present the real threat for us.” “You have the truth, Scratch. But I swear there that I will not repeat this mistake again. I will send this crew to the realm of dead forever. And I decided to end the life of this sailor personally. I want to have his head as the trophy in my new lair.” “And his soul will belong to me. I have a lot of souls in my realm but the souls of Sinbad and his buddies have the biggest price for me. I would exchange any soul which I have in my realm right now for their souls. And if you desire to kill Sinbad personally, I would appreciate the similar opportunity with his brother. Sinbad’s soul could have been mine many years ago but this fat man was too much active and I lost this valuable soul.” “And what the rest of the crew?” asked Rumina now. “I must admit that I have not deeper interest about this crazy inventor or about this Baldy. I wished to kill the annoying village goose but she slipped through my fingers. Moreover, we both know what I did with the Baldy. I could do something similar with the inventor.” “You might have considered this punishment to be sufficient but I do not like the idea that Rongar is somewhere when he can not taste my revenge. I would not have agreed with the usage of this spell, you know it. We will not repeat this strategy again.” said Scratch angrily. ”And I have one personal interest which includes the fourth member of our crew. I do not want to hear any objections from your side, Rumina.” said Turock. “You should finally understand that she is not your daug…” objected Rumina but Turock interrupted her. “I will not debate about this issue anymore. You will respect my intentions. I am not going to kill her, only in the case that she will not give us any different option. I think that I can gain the control above her.” There was a short moment of silence. “We arranged the basic details and it is time to finish the situation here.”

Turock called his servants and ordered them to take the prisoners to the square where execution’s log was prepared and he ordered to gather all captured citizens there. “We are going to attack Bagdad tomorrow. We were able to defeat Basra and Bagdad will be the same case. We should go to enjoy this fun now. Do you agree with me?” He did not wait for the answer and he started to go towards the square. Rumina and Scratch followed him. They had some doubts about his plan but this evening was not the best time for the next discussion about it.

Finally got around to catching up with the latest parts of your story. And I must say, wow, you really included a lot of poeple we know from the show. So many familiar faces - that's awesome!
At the same time though, it's rather sad to see so many of them die. And say, is Omar really dead? O.O Or did he manage to escape? And what with the people in Basra - will the execution really take place or can Caipra prevent it at last minute (which I would hope for but what I think won't happen, sadly enough, since she wouldn't stand much chance alone against those three, would she? ).

I only have one question: You mentioned Nesthar as the new ruler of Bollnah. Does that mean Zora married him? Because when Rongar left, she took it upon herself to rule the country so unless she stepped down again or married, she would be the rightful Queen of that realm.

Anyway. You're weaving quite an action-packed adventure there, and right now I wonder how on earth our heroes are gonna save the day at all, caus it all seems to rather go downhill at the moment.

I hope you still have fun writing! And thanx for sharing your work with us.
