#parthevian general

[whorunthewcrld-a]

send me a pair name and I’ll tell you what I think it would be like if they had a child. // @universestreasures && @highseaskxng​ for Sinbad X Serendine (thanks for the ask Rarity!) 

Name: Alara Dikumenowlz Du Parthevia

Gender: Female

General Appearance: A relatively short but curvy young woman with nicely sunkissed skin, long, wavy pink hair and golden eyes that always have a sharp, knowing look in them. 

Personality: She’s a firecracker. An extrovert to the max she’s always on the go. She’s dedicated to learning everything she needs to know to be a proper heir to the throne of the Parthevia Empire. She has a sharp wit that many don’t know how to handle but she has her country’s best wishes at heart.

Special Talents: She could probably do any job on a ship better then most of the men in the Parthevian Navy. She comes alive on a boat just like her father and learned from a very young age how to perform all the tasks required to sail one.

Who they like better: Her father but I feel like she has just so much respect for her mother

Who they take after more: Sinbad

Personal Headcanon: She dreams of joining the Navy, much like how her mother was in the army, and raising up the ranks before taking up any more princess like duties back at home.

So happy to see your open again! I've missed this blog :) can I get Sinbad having nightmares about the destruction of his first country and Wakes up crying? His so comforts him?

Hewe’re touching on ptsd here bc there’s no WAY he doesn’t have it and my personal fave sinbad headcanon is that sindria 1 event gave him ptsd. you didn’t specify so I’ll do headcanons bc they’re faster for me, but if ya’ll want a scenario I’ll do that too!

HEAVY SPOILERS for those who have not read SNB, those not caught up with SNB, and those who haven’t been able to read Japanese raws of SNB

The dreams haunt him. Sometimes they’re the same, sometimes they’d different. But he always wakes up with a constricting feeling in his chest, anxiety, and a feeling of panic. It’s like he’s there again.

Sometimes he thinks about how zepar was used to control him- how his own body was turned against him, and how everything he worked for went up in flames because he was controlled by something that used his body and voice to destroy it.

He also dreams about the other Parthevians, specifically his fellow villagers from Tison, who were experimented on and who he knowingly let get killed for the sake of First Sindria.

He dreams of the deaths of his friends, not just those who actually died there, but the ones who still stand with him, in the chaos orchestrated by Barbarossa, Serendine, and Al Thamen

He wakes with a start, which ultimately wakes you up as well, but he doesn’t notice in his haste to get out of bed.

He ushers himself out to the balcony. Sometimes it helps to see what Sindria is, what he’s built, to get the imagines of burning and war out of his head.

He can’t help the tears that build in his eyes, and he rubs at his eyes to try to dry them.

He startles when you put a hand on his arm, but he just shakes his head when you ask what’s wrong. He tries to dismiss it and say it was just a nightmare, that it happened a long time ago, but you know better. Sinbad is not a man easily shaken, and the shakiness in his eyes as he tries to quell your worries gives him away.

“You don’t have to tell me what you dreamt, but I’m here for you and so are your generals and the Sindrian people.” Saying that kind of thing will comfort him the most.

The two of you stay out there for a while while he breathes in the cool night air and takes a reprieve in your presence, and finally you manage to get him back inside and back into bed.

He might not sleep the rest of the night.

He also lays on your chest that night, let’s you play with his hair as you doze. Normally he prefers to hold you, so the fact he’s letting you hold him is also a tell he’s needing the comfort.

@etyrnitides​ asked :  abatina, amaryllis, iris

Botanical Headcanons : Accepting

abatina :   is there anything in life your muse has changed their mind about over time   (   due to becoming more educated on the topic ,   certain experiences  ,   etc .   ) ,    or that they   would   change their mind about under certain circumstances ?  

Murder is not always the answer-- There are many things that Ja’far has changed his viewpoints on. Ja’far was raised by assassins in the underbelly of Parthevian politics. He was taught that only the strongest survive and only by throwing away those around you; kill or be killed. Anything was permitted so long as you served well and didn’t disrupt the chain of command. In such an environment, Ja’far became nihilistic, self serving and believed violence was the best way to get what he wanted. However after he came to travel with Sinbad and particularly under Rurumu’s tutelage, he changed his views. He was finally able to experience the love of a family and learn more about the world around him. He could live here without being used and discovered that the world wasn’t as cold and cruel as he had previously thought. He learned kindness from it, something he had only heard about but never experienced. He’s taken much of Rurumu’s lessons to heart and continues to carry them with him, choosing that over what he was taught in Sham Lash. 

amaryllis :   what is something or someone that your muse takes pride in ?   how do they express that pride ?  

In general, Ja’far isn’t a prideful person. However he is aware of his own abilities. Despite any self worth issues he might have, he knows when he’s good at something. And he can take pride in the things he accomplishes. Namely, Ja’far takes pride in his work. He went from illiterate back alley assassin to head of Sindria’s parliament and foremost advisor to the king. He’s studious, clever, and wise beyond his years. He’s good at his job and he knows it. He takes a lot of pride in what he does and hopes to never disappoint in his duties. And while he doesn’t talk about it as much, there is some pride to be had in his skills as a warrior. While his role as chief was mostly for show, he was still Sham Lash’s most prodigious assassin at age 10 and even now he’s an incredibly skilled combatant. He doesn’t outwardly take pride in this, as there’s a lot of shame in the origins of his abilities, but it’s still something he works hard at even now that his current position doesn’t often call for physical fighting.

iris :   if your muse could convey one last message to someone they have lost or left behind ,   what would it be ?  

There are a lot of things left unsaid for Ja’far. And he doesn’t particularly believe in messages meant for the dead. However, if he had the opportunity, he would want to thank Rurumu. Ja’far’s biggest regret surrounding her is that he was never able to truly show his gratitude. In a lot of ways, she saved him. While it was Sinbad that gave him a purpose, Rurumu is the one who taught him about love and family. She loved him despite his origins and never once judged him for it. Even when she began a family of her own, she made absolutely sure that Ja’far was never left behind. She always called him her son and made sure he knew that he was part of her family, regardless of blood. She’s the reason he became successful and thrived. And his biggest uncertainty is whether or not she knew how much that meant to him. He knows, logically, that of course she knew. How could she not? But at the time Ja’far had no idea how to vocalize such feelings. He still has trouble with it. And in his struggles and fear, he never called her mother. Even if she very much was, more so than his birth mother. Part of him was scared to do so. He killed his own parents after all and what if calling Rurumu ‘mother’ brought that curse upon her as well? He knows this is foolish but it doesn’t stop the feeling. And so while he accepted himself as her child and even referred to the children as his younger siblings, he never said the word ‘mother’ to her. He tried, a few times, but it always seemed to get stuck in his throat. It’s still hard to say the word. And he regrets never doing so. So if he had the chance to say one last thing to her it would be -- “Thank you, mother.”

Night 172 “For whom”

Night 173 “For whom”

*TN: This title  “誰がために” seems to be a reference Hemingway’s “For Whom the Bell Tolls” In japanese: 誰がために鐘は鳴る, you can Google it if you are curious.

.

(Page 1) TN: The chapter starts were we left last time… a Hinahoho apparently increases his Magoi to an extreme level, and everyone is worried.

Ja’far: His household assimilation is beginning…

Sinbad: …. This is bad!

Ja’far or Sinbad ( most likely Sin) : If he continues in that state, he’ll be swallowed by his anger!!

..

.

TN: We have a small change of setting

*Offshore*

TN: Sindrian ships seem to have departed the coast.

(Page 2)

TN: We can see how big Hinahoho’s wrath is, and his shape starts changing…

 Ja’far: His body has started to change…!

Sin: damn it…!  That’s too much power!

It’s impossible to approach him in this state…!!

 TN: We can see Pipirika scared for her brother, Hinahoho’s feet starting to change, and that someone takes the initiative…

 (Page 3)

TN: Drakon comes to the rescue! And takes him by surprise, grabbing his arms from the back.

Sin&Ja’far: Drakon!!

.

(Page 4) Drakon: You can’t do this, Hinahoho.

If you let go of yourself beyond this point, you will be giving up on your human body.

No, if things don’t go well, you could even lose awareness    (TN: With this ,Drakon means he’ll lose his sense of self as a human being)

I will stop you no matter what. Right now, you acting this reckless is….

.

Hinahoho: …….

Shut up.

Hinahoho: Stop, Drakon.

I don’t care anymore…. (TN: i don’t care what becomes of me anymore)

 (Page 5)

….

Drakon: Please listen, Hinahoho.

… in this moment, the survivors are gathered on the coast area and are getting on board the last ship.

That is the only way to escape this island.

But,

The ship can’t leave.

Do you understand why?

…..

It’s because of the naval fleet.

A naval fleet conformed by countless ships are creating a blockade around the coast.

If our ship doesn’t break through them, it can’t escape.

 (Page 6)

Drakon: Neither Sinbad nor a member of the eight generals is there….

In those circumstances, for them to break through is a foolish and unreachable move…

But,

In this moment, you guys are here.

In a moment like this, this is not reassuring thing at all…

I am truly glad that you are alive and safe.

….

That’s why right in this moment,

Your strength is needed, Hinahoho!!

 (Page 7)

Drakon:

I, with you and that hal- assimilated power you possess, can subjugate that naval fleet.

Please, don’t let yourself be drown in ager, and fight at my side in order to find a way out!!

Kikiruku and the others….

TN: Hina reacts to his children being mentioned.

The kids are on board this ship too.

Rurumu gave her life to protect them…

We are the only ones who can protect their future.

 (Page 8)

TN: Hina comes back to his senses

Sin: !!

Hinahoho: ….. That’s right.

Rurumu protected them until the end….

That’s right…

Hinahoho: I’ sorry….

I ended up showing my worst side.

I’m okay now….

Page 9

Hinahoho: Drakon…

Leave that last great task in my hands….

.

.

Page 10 & 11

TN: Next scene we have Drakon and Hina swimming towards the Parthevian Naval fleet!

Page 12

TN: They fight against the assimilated beasts

Page 13

TN: And they beat them. Sin, Ja’far, Masrur and Pipirika watch from the coast, while we have a shot of Rurumu’s dead body ( Ohtera sensei…. why)

 Page 14

TN: The scene changes, and our guys are ready to finally leave hell the island.

Ja’far: …. Sin.

With this, the preparations for our departure are concluded.

The ship will go towards Reim’s harbor.

Is it okay to take shelter at Sindria’s trading company?

Sin: … Yeah.

If you go out to as far as Reim’s ocean area, as one would expect, you won’t be able to come to Parthevia afterwards.

To take everyone to a safe place…. That is our last duty.

 Page 15

TN: Everyone bows and then…

Ja’far: … Sin.

I still…. Can’t agree with this.

Are you truly….

Are you truly….

Going to remain by yourself in this island!?

This is the last ship, you know!?

This Island will sink before long….

And yet, why?!!

TN: But Sin was saying something while Ja’far was speaking to him.

Sin: …..

Ja’far: What?

 Page 16

Sinbad: There’s still something I must do on this island.

I don’t know what it is.

But I just know.

I’m saying I can’t afford to leave this island yet.

….

TN: Ja’far grabs his clothes and watches in disbelief as Sin turns around and just stays there.

.

.

Ja’far: … Sin….

  .

.

 TN: And that’s it! Now we know how Hinahoho got his scar. I think this was a good chapter, and it sets up the ground for the final stage it seems!? Sin is all alone in the island of death now.... let’s see what happens next time!

As you guys know the mangaone app is still behaving in a weird way for most of us. Thank you sinbad-ai for sharing your raws with us! ^^ <3 <3

Sinbad no Bouken 144 RAW + a Summary!

Here are the raws for Sinbad no Bouken 144, in which we see some familiar faces~! And, Barbarossa is at it again! 

Just a reminder, to anyone who follows me and enjoys these raws/summaries, parts of or even all of these summaries could be completely wrong, so be advised as you read them as I am by no means a professional translator!

*** Disclaimer : Sinbad no Bouken is not my work. Please be sure to vote for Sinbad no Bouken every day on the MangaOne app if you have it!

This chapter starts off by informing us that one year prior to Sinbad creating his country, the international situation had changed. It seems the Parthevian empire gained a lot of money by making that deal with the Sindria Trade company. They were able to start paying off their reparations to foreign countries and were proceeding with economic reconstruction. They began to gain momentum and started getting a lot of attention from other countries as a country who pioneered the abolition of their monarchy. Their influence was so great, that the former major world power started to regain influence. It’s now an era where the Parthevian empire, along with the kingdom of Sindria is at the center of the future of the world; which is what everyone in the world believed.

After this bit of exposition, we return to the story and see Barbarossa, who is congratulating Sinbad. He mentions that the ceremony is just months away and tells him that they are all very excited. Sinbad replies that they have come this far thanks to Barbarossa and asks how he can repay him. But Barbrossa says that there’s a limit to how much his cooperation played a part and that all of Sinbad’s success was thanks to their own power. He tells him that it’s not over yet and that they will be busy from here on out. He also tells Sinbad that they are currently at the center of the world, not Reim or Balbadd. He goes on to say that they are an entity that is now driving the world and tells him they will change the world together.

After Sinbad leaves the room, Memphis asks Barbarossa if it went okay. When Barbarossa asks him what he means, he mentions that if they are not political party members, then they are just a disorderly group who is not unified in thought and wonders if it’s okay that they got this far. Barbarossa then laughs and assures him that there is no problem. He says that they got this far by their own strength. He also tells him that he’s been watching them this past year and it seems there’s no indication that they would betray him. He then says, a bit menacingly, that it’s actually more like they are unable to betray him and tells him that is all going according to his plan. He then explains that the ones becoming the center of the new era they’ve created, is Parthevia, a country that was said to have been a great country that fell. He then scoffs and says that it was actually quite simple to take control of the hearts of the people. He says the world changes if the people change and explains that this momentum will strengthen as they celebrate the Sindria founding ceremony. He then tells him that the day they unify the world is drawing closer. Memphis bows and states that they should continue on and go get the “next piece”.

The scene then changes to show a horse-drawn carriage with a child inside. The child watches the bustling streets in amazement and we then come to find that this child is actually a young Yamuraiha. She tells “Mr. Chancellor” to look at all the people. She says that they all seem happy and there are so many shops, which is something she’s never seen, not even in her country of Mustasim. Upon hearing this, the chancellor corrects her and tells her to call him “Mr. Mogamett” and tells her that it’s not good to look outside too much. He explains that it’s different from their school. He goes on to say that they magicians are a unique existence in a world without many magicians and warns her that they must not interact with non-mages more than necessary. He asks if she understands and with a sad look, she says she does and closes the curtain.

The scene once again changes to show Mogamett meeting directly with Barbarossa. Mogamett asks what business the supreme leader of Parthevia has with someone like him. He mentions, as a former general, Barbarossa should know just how many magicians died in the war between Parthevia and Mustasium. He tells him that he has no intention of conversing with a such a former adversary and explains that they are nothing more than a small academy that can barely do magical research now. This comment catches Barbarossa’s attention and he says he doesn’t believe they are just “barely doing magical research”. Mogamett is a little surprised at this and Barbarossa goes on to explain that he knows the magicians once received horrible treatment. He describes how they were occasionally used as shields in war and how at times they have been blamed as the source of plagues. He says they were virtually livestock and were silently robbed of many of their lives. He then mentions how in order to escape the control of non-magicians, Mogamett is determined to create a magical country and has taken decades to prepare it. He then asks if what he said was wrong, and after a short pause, Mogamett asks where he heard that from. Barbarossa explains that he has friends in various places and that it wasn’t hard to come up with the information, but says that none of it matters. He then gives Mogamett a serious look and states that he wants to help him with his revolution and it’s for that reason that he called him there. This sudden proposition shocks Mogamett as Barbarossa goes on to explain how he thinks that people with power are the ones who should always control the world, and that includes magicians. He then says that he believes, as people who can feel the ruhk at birth and can read the pulse of the world, the magicians may be the true dominate race! He then tells Mogamett that he has the same thinking as him and tells him that they should get expel foolish people and lead the world with only good people. He then once again asks him to build a magic country together.

 And that’s all for this chapter. I think we know how Mogamett will respond, but it’s interesting how Barbarossa is pretty much doing the exact same thing he did with Sinbad. Also, it was nice to see Yamuraiha finally!

The extra content this week is an omake about the ways in which Ja’far has changed with the time skip. I’ll try to get that up soon! Also, I’ll be making a small announcement later on this week, so be on the lookout for that. ^_^

Strength: ●●●●●●◌◌◌◌ Dexterity: ●●●●●●●●●● Constitution: ●●●●●●●●◌◌ Intelligence: ●●●●●●●●●●● Wisdom: ●●●●●●●●●●◌ Charisma: ●●●●●●●◌◌◌

|| SAVING THROWS

Ja’far is generally level headed and does well thinking on his feet. His moves are strategic and he does well under pressure. He’s usually able to get himself out of difficult situations without panicing or loosing his composure. However, Ja’far is prone to violent outbursts when pushed and does have a short temper.

▉ || THE EXPOSITION

Where and when was your character born or created?

Born in a remote village in Parthevia to a pair of assassins, part of Sham Lash, a secret division of the Parthevian military

How was growing up for your character?

From birth, Ja’far was trained and raised as an assassin. As per Sham Lash’s traditions, he killed his parents at the age of six and had fully cemented his roll as Chief by the age of ten. Ja’far underwent strict and brutal training routines in order to turn him into an efficient killer. The abuse, both physical and psychological, resulted in an aggressive, arrogant personality. After the age of ten, Ja’far became part of Sinbad’s trading company and was adopted by Rurumu’s oldest child. His life became considerably better at this point, where he was, for once, shown what it means to be part of a family and loved. While his life continued to be challenging and filled with hardship, he was for once given the support and care he’d been denied as a child.

Does your character reflect their parent’s or guardian’s beliefs, or do they have their own set of principals?

Ja’far tries not to think about his birth parents much, as they were the ones who brought him into this world as an assassin. He killed them at the age of six and holds a considerable amount of guilt within him despite having been forced to do so. His guardians and found-family after that were crucial in his development as a person. He holds the teachings he was given as a child close to heart and tries to embody all that he was given when he first joined Sinbad’s group. 

Is your character religious or not? How much of an impact does this have on their life?

While the people of Magi show a general belief in the god Solomon and the existence of the ruhk, which Ja’far follows, he doesn’t consider himself religious. His childhood left little room for ideals of higher powers and the abuse he suffered snuffed out any belief he might have held in a god. He doesn’t think on it very often as an adult and is more concerned with the world around him rather than abstract ideas.

Is romance a difficult topic for your character to think about?

Yes and no. Ja’far doesn’t typically think about romance, which makes it easy, in a way. It’s something that happens but he himself has not experienced it nor does he believe himself deserving or capable. Ja’far has difficulty expressing his feelings after having been taught as a child to repress any emotions and relationship. It took a long time for Ja’far to be able to accept love unconditionally from those who do care about him and as an adult, he still has trouble understanding his own feelings. Typically, Ja’far tends to focus more on his work than any kind of romantic pursuit. While he’s capable of feeling love and romance, he hasn’t yet and doesn’t pursue the thought of it.

Does your character have a reputation? What is it?

As an assassin, Ja’far had a reputation for being the best Sham Lash had to offer. As it’s youngest chief and biggest accomplishment, he was known for his skill by those aware of his existence. This hold true today as his combat skill is often unmatched. However his more prominent reputation is that of Sindria’s head of parliament and Sinbad’s chief adviser. He’s intelligent, well educated, and a strong political force. Often times, people are only aware of this reputation and mistake him for being just a parliamentary official, they don’t always expect him to be a skilled assassin as well. 

Your character’s greatest victory? Their most bitter defeat?

His greatest victory was the founding of Sindria, the second time. While this wasn’t exactly a battle, he still considers it a victory. There were many forces which tried to stop their group from building a country for themselves and they fought hard to reach their ideals. It’s something he believes in wholeheartedly and Sindria is his proudest accomplishment. His most bitter defeat was loosing Sindria after it’s initial construction as part of Parthevia, when they were destroyed by Judar and the army. It was during this time that Sinbad fell into depravity and loosing Sinbad will always be his greatest fear. 

Their battle style? Are they a pacifist?

Is battle style is dependent on agility and speed. He is more concerned with evasion then defense and uses precise, well practiced strikes. He uses quick movements in order to take down his opponents, employing everything he learned as an assassin. He is not a pacifist and can be quite violent is angered.

Something Strange (Finale (V))

A/N: yes this is the final part of something strange and I'm very glad to know you all enjoyed it.

Summary: You remembered everything, but not every memory was meant to be a dream.

You rubbed your eyes as you were slowly starting to wake up, you had a slight throbbing in your head as you sat up. Out the window, you noticed it was night.

“Ugh… What happened?” You mumbled while rubbing your head. Everything was a blur as you woke up. You looked around to see yourself in an extravagant room.

You pressed your hands to your forehead, “great…” You mumbled. You just remembered the past day’s events and sighed. You already knew you were going to be stuck here for quite a bit. “I see you’re awake.”

You jumped and relaxed as you saw the same king that kidnapped you leaning against the wall with his arms crossed. “You!” You yelled, pointing at him.

He smiled, “yes?” He asked politely. You grumbled and went up to him.

“Let me leave, now!” You yelled while looking up at him with a menacing glare.

His smile diminished, “no.” He stated.

Your eyes widened, “what?! You can’t just keep me here! I am not going to be a prisoner!”

You both stared at each other and glared. After a bit of glaring you scoffed, “I’m out of here!” You turned and went to open the door only for Sinbad to slam it shut.

“You’re not going anywhere.”

You turned to look at him, “buzz off! I’m leaving!” You pulled at the door only to notice that he had a strong grip.

You were interrupted by strong hands pinning you against the door. Your eyes shifted up to see intense golden hues staring into yours.

A blush rose to your cheeks, “w-what?”

Lust gleamed is his eyes, “you’re mine.” He buried his face in your neck and began trailing kisses down it.

You bit your lip to hold in a moan. You felt him smirk against your skin, “you can’t hold it in forever my love. I know all your weak spots.”

You gasped as you felt him bite down on your neck, “S-Sinbad!”

Your eyes widened, you never learned his name, so how did you know?

“Looks like you remember, huh?” He teased.

You growled and tried pushing him off, “g-get…! Mmm…”

He wouldn’t budge, he only continued to bite and suck on your skin. As he did this you felt nostalgia and a hot feeling pooling between your legs. You wanted to stop, but you couldn’t and you didn’t want to.

“S-Sin… Please, stop…”

His eyes widened and his gaze shifted to your flushed face, he bit his lip as he looked down at you. Your face was flushed and your eyes were narrowed.

Sinbad’s bangs covered his eyes, “I’m sorry.”

You couldn’t help but feel guilty as he had that look on his face, you pushed his bangs away and pressed a kiss to his forehead.

"It’s okay,” you whispered as you wrapped your arms around his neck. Sinbad brought his arms around your waist and held you close as he held you heard him whispering ‘I’m sorry’ over and over in your ear.

“It’s okay… It’s okay.” You unwrapped your arms and cupped his cheeks, you gazed into his eyes and for once you didn’t look away.

At that moment all of your declined memories came back to surface. Every romantic, intimate, friendly moment came back. The day he said I love you, the day you met all your friends and most importantly…

The day you died…

~Many years ago

You parried their blows with your sword as they came charging at you. You growled and slashed at their chests, they all dropped to the ground, lifeless. You didn’t have time to think about the consequences, all you had to do was save this kingdom.

Today was going to be a grim day in its history, the day that the parthevian empire invaded your beloved’s kingdom. You weren’t going to allow those heathens hurt him or his dream.

You almost felt the light flash before your eyes as you saw a soldier sneaking up on him from behind. Bloodlust flashed in your eyes as you ran towards the soldier about to hurt your love.

“GET AWAY FROM HIM!” You cried, but as you were about to kill the soldier you didn’t notice one charging at you. Before you could even nick the threat with your sword someone else already plunged theirs through your chest.

You gasped and coughed as the taste of iron filled your mouth. You were dead the second he shoved his sword into your chest.

Sinbad turned hearing another body fall to the ground once he saw who it was, his heart dropped, there you were in a pool of your own blood.

He fell to his knees and tears filled eyes as he looked at your lifeless body. He carefully picked you up and cradled you in his arms, you were gone.

He shifted his gaze to the sky as he saw a flurry of dancing flames where his castle once was.

Just like you, his dream died that day.

~Now

Your eyes were as wide as dinner plates as the memory flashed through your eyes. You were frozen as tears fell down your face, “I died…” You mumbled.

Sinbad’s brows scrunched as he didn’t hear you, “what?”

“I DIED!” You pushed him away from you which caused you to fall to your knees. You began whimpering and wrapped your arms around yourself, that scene repeated in your mind over and over again.

You killing people and then falling to the ground like a lifeless doll, but you thought you deserved to die when you thought of all those soldiers were killed. For all you knew they could’ve had family or a lover to go back to.

You clutched your head and screamed you lungs out as the thought ran through your head. You couldn’t live like this, you began panting frantically. The memory wouldn’t leave, it was still there.

Sinbad was at your side and he held you close, “you’ll be okay. You’ll be okay… I promise…”

You gripped Sin’s robes, “kill me, please… I’m a horrible person, kill me!” You sobbed.

Sinbad shook his head disagreeing with you, “you’ll never be as bad as me.” He ran his hands down your sides as you sobbed your eyes out on his robes.

Then the moment was interrupted as his eight generals burst into the room all holding their weapons as they heard a scream.

They looked to Sinbad with expressions of curiosity. Sinbad’s jaw clenched, “…she remembers.”

The generals stayed quiet as they all now knew why she seemed so broken.

You opened your eyes and blinked, it seems like you fell asleep again. Unfortunately, you just remembered what happened last night. Silent tears ran down your face as that infernal memory came back.

“Hey. I can feel your tears.”

You immediately sat up and looked to see who it was. It was Sinbad. And he wasn’t wearing any clothing as far you could tell.

Your tears were immediately replaced by a heavy blush, “AAAAAAAHHHH!”

“AAAAAAAHHHH!” 

You scream had resonated throughout the entire castle. Alibaba, Aladdin, and Morgiana all looked at each other and then decided to run after the scream.

“Why aren’t you wearing clothing?!” You yelled, holding your sword in front you to keep him away.

“This is something that happens quite frequently.” He smiled, not caring about the situation at hand.

You growled and tightened your grip on your sword, “give me one good reason why I shouldn’t slash that off.”

Sinbad paled, “…because you love me?”

You sighed and sheathed your sword, “you’re going to give me gray hairs…”

At that moment the generals and the trio burst through the door, like yesterday their weapons were out.

"What happened?!” They yelled, once they saw Sinbad laying in your bed and you glaring at him they already knew.

“Again? Really, king Sinbad?”

“Again?!” You yelled along with Aladdin and Alibaba.

The generals only sighed and didn’t want to further explain the situation. The situation was immediately forgotten once Aladdin was stalking towards you.

Everyone’s expression turned to horror as they Aladdin jump into your chest and rub his face into them.

Your reaction was something no one was expecting. You hugged him and pat his head, everyone gasped in shock.

Your brows scrunched, “what? He’s just a little kid.” You stated.

All they did was blink and try to process what just happened. As for Sinbad he got up, with the blanket wrapped around his waist, and grabbed Aladdin by the scruff of his neck.

“Don’t. Touch. Her.”

Aladdin immediately got off and scampered to hide behind Yamraiha.  

Let's just say the rest of the day was awkward between the two.

You sighed as your presumed lover was doing his work, it was certainly hard to get used to this feeling. Besides, you had just gotten your memories back.

Sinbad put down his pen and looked to you, "are you alright, my love?" He asked, his voice was laced with concern.

You couldn't but feel slight apprehensive at the recent events, "no... Not really."

He got up and kneeled down in front of you, "what is it that ails you?" He grabbed your hands.

"I guess it just feels weird... All of this. All my memories coming back-" you cupped his cheeks- "I remember you so well, but it just feels so weird to see you again after so many years."

You pressed your forehead to his and stayed silent, as you laid your forehead against his you finally felt comfortable after a while.

"I will make sure you feel the same way you did all those years ago."

You giggled, "just being with you is enough."

Sinbad smirked, "why don't we spend more time together?" He grabbed your hand and gestured for you get up.

Once you did your brows scrunched in confusion, "where are we going?"

"Out."

"B-But you haven't finished working!" You tried tugging him back to his study but that was futile as your lover already made up his mind.

"Don't worry about it." With that said he scooped you up in his arms and jumped off a balcony.

You gripped his arm and braced yourself for a hard landing, but surprisingly, nothing came.

You sighed in relief, "I hate when you do that." You still smiled having remembered him always doing that when you were both in your younger years.

"I know you do." He pressed a kiss to your forehead.

You giggled, "I love you."

He smirked.

"I love you too."

Themes and Narratives and Final Battles

So, I said that I would take a look at which characters have more personal narrative and thematic weight to be in the Final Battle against Sinbad than the quartet we got.

Okay, first thing first, Hakuryu and Judar should not be there. Or rather, either the opponent is Sinbad, in which case many other characters have narrative and thematic precedence over Hakuryu and Judar, or the opponent is not Sinbad but someone personal to Hakuryu and Judar. Since the opponent is Sinbad, we’ll go with that...

So, first and most obvious is that Alibaba and Aladdin are there not because of their strong, thematic reasons to oppose Sinbad, but because they are Main Characters.

That means Morgiana has as much a right to be there as they. Perhaps even more as she is of the oft-enslaved and magically resistant Fanalis, and what Sinbad is doing is... yeah. Anyway, if Alibaba and Aladdin are there, Morgiana should be as well, since they have the same reason.

But being a main character is a pretty poor excuse for a character be somewhere or do something, without much of a Watsonian reason. It makes them feel artificial and inhuman. So lets discard the characters who are there just because they are main characters, and lets take a look at others...

First, lets see if we can scrounge up seven metal vessel users for the seven trials!

Ren Kogyoku and Ren Hakuei are self-explanatory. Sinbad has used and abused them with complete disregard for them as people. Kogyoku is also the one who seems that have the largest magoi-pool outside being a singularity of the king vessels, from a physical fire-power standpoint (she fires Supreme Magics and then is ready for more, meanwhile others are barely holding onto their Djinn Equips and needs to seek outside sources of magoi). Hakuei also has the largest household, meaning that she is great leader capable of inspiring a huge number of people to pledge their bodies and souls to her (a bit like Sinbad, except greater since households by definition pledge their lives and he only managed that with seven, while she has at least a hundred). As a bonus, we get female characters in the final battle!

Darius Leoxses, Mira Dianus Artemina and Armakan Amun-Ra. They are the foundation of the Seven Seas Alliance, but it was not voluntary. They were forced on threat of their kingdoms’ annihilation and the deaths of their people and children to bow to Sinbad. So in truth, they joined the Seven Seas Alliance and unquestioningly followed Sinbad on the condition of their people being alive and thriving. On top of that, their children and brother joined Sinbad’s household to directly serve him.

All on the condition that their kingdoms remain alive and thriving.

Sinbad now wants to kill everyone in the world and abolish borders/kingdoms (yet for some reason established a monarchy in Imchakk? Wat?).

While we’ve seen a closer connection highlighted (by the fact that Alibaba is a main character) between Sinbad and Alibaba, Darius, Mira and Armakan have greater reasons and longer associations with Sinbad, and have sacrificed far more (do you really think every time Sinbad summoned their armies to fight his battles everyone returned alive? Without pathogens previously unknown to their isolated kingdoms?).

Ren Koen and Mu Alexius are set up as Sinbad’s counterparts, both by age, and in Koen and Sinbad’s cases, in the colors of their clothes (Sinbad is primarily white, and Koen is primarily black) and main Djinn Equips (Sinbad’s blue-cyan, and Koen’s orange, those are complimentary, opposite colors). Sinbad is a singularity with great stores of magoi and knows magoi manipulation, while Mu is a Fanalis which means very little magoi but is resistant to its manipulation.

Furthermore, they represent empires which mirrors Sinbad’s alliance, only that Sinbad has gone through great pains to make it seem like they’re not (in the end, threatening to blow up Babel if the King does not agree to Sinbad’s terms is not unlike Ko or Rem rolling in with their armies and forcing the nation to submit to their rule. Both situations carry explicit threats if the vassals fail to do as the new sovereign demands).

Furthermore, Sinbad is from the Parthevian Empire:

The Rem Empire is an old empire which is solid at its foundation and while not pure by any stretch of imagination, has remained remarkably untouched by underground organizations seeking to corrupt governments.

The Ko Empire is an upstart new empire using the old ways to expand rapidly and grow, and is easily influenced by underground organizations manipulating their government such as Al Thamen.

The Parthevian Empire is old like Rem, but behaved like Ko when Sinbad lived there and is corrupted as such by Al Thamen and similar groups. It has now become a vassal state of Sinbad’s, while the other two resists and remain sovereign.

On a more personal level, Koen has never understood Sinbad and Sinbad has never tried to make himself understood to Koen, because he dislikes Koen based on Koen being a Ko prince, while Mu has never liked Sinbad while Sinbad has made overtures towards Mu, possibly because Mu leads an army of Fanalis. Meanwhile, Koen and Mu seem to get on despite being on completely different sides on major stuff which they share Sinbad’s opinion of, like how Mu is against slavery, Koen makes use of slavery though he seems not to like it but he is more neutral than Mu and Sinbad in his voiced opinions (possibly not to talk bad about dear old Hakutoku whose will Koen was fulfilling?), and Sinbad is against it but will personally enslave the world to get his wishes fulfilled.

Furthermore, the desires and goals of everyone involved are:

Ren Koen: Wants to protect his empire, people and especially his family.

Mu Alexius: Wants to protect Scheherazade’s empire, end slavery and protect the Fanalis.

Sinbad: Wants to kill everyone, abolish all borders (such as empires), especially hurts Koen’s family, and does so by magical enslavement.

On top of that, Koen was recognized by Judar and Aladdin (and, to a lesser extent, Arba) as a King Vessel. Mu was, if not recognized, doted on by Scheherazade and Yunan, and apparently Titus has no problems with him. The only Magi Sinbad could muster to his side before Arba and David did not like him, choose him reluctantly, and then pretty much washed his hands of him. We even see Sinbad almost desperate to make Aladdin Sindria’s magi, and he repeatedly entertains the notion of bringing Judar to his side despite everything that happened before the Labyrinth of Magic started.

And speaking of magi, Yunan. This is a no-brainer. He has that foreshadowing moment with Sinbad’s mother. He is at least Sinbad’s magi in theory, if not in practice. He also seem to often disagree with Sinbad and Sinbad’s methods, even though he is tired of this world’s destiny jerking him around (thus Sinbad’s proposed “just world”-argument would actually make him waver).

Yunan could take care of Arba, thus continuing their earlier battle, while the aforementioned king vessels take the trials. It could also be that Sinbad supports another magi when he really, really wants Yunan’s support instead thus making both sides conflicted, especially since Yunan promised to look out for Sinbad and not kill him.

But if we look outside magi and metal vessels, we have seven of Sinbad’s household and seven trials: Sinbad’s Household.

Putting the trials aside, Yamraiha could deal with Arba and do better than Yunan and Judar, thus showing that the extraordinary can rise above their allotted destiny (since she is a mere sorceress and not a magi, she should have lost).

Ja’far already said he’d kill Sinbad if Sinbad goes the wrong way. Drakon was already set up as a rival of Sinbad in Adventure of Sinbad. Masrur was a former slave who now has a family to protect, yet is being enslaved into wanting the deaths of his children, despite the fact that he joined Sinbad precisely to get out of slavery. Sharrkan and Pisti could compare notes, now that they are adults, of how their nations joined the SSA, causing Spartos to ask Darius which leads all three of the outer circle to learn that the SSA isn’t as ideally founded as they remembered, and also how forced their parents/brother were and their true nature as hostages. This could cause Hinahoho to lose faith in Sinbad since he is truly the only General who joined out of his own will without outside pressures such as Barbarossa or parents or whatever, and he loves his kids and is pretty much Team Dad to everyone.

Speaking of Hinahoho, since it is not battles that are important during the seven trials, how about looking beyond magic-users?

Kikiriku. Yes, really. Kikiriku was the first born of Sindria who spent his entire life serving Sindria and Sinbad. Everyone else remembers a life before Sindria, but Kikiriku doesn’t. Furthermore, he lost his mother and had his father away for large swathes of his childhood so that Sinbad could create Sindria.

Then Sinbad just threw away Sindria. Made Kikiriku’s father wish for death and Kikiriku’s siblings as well. Heck, everyone in Sindria is crying with joy at the thought of dying. And Kikiriku’s Uncle Sinbad, who was adopted into his family at the compassion of Kikiriku’s parents, who is Kikiriku’s King and Sovereign, made it happen.

How would Sinbad react if Kikiriku came and argued with him, I wonder? What if Kikiriku shows up bearing Rurumu’s will alongside Yunan bearing Esra’s will?

How about we go even more obscure (I’m sorry, but with Budel, Yamato and Nerva’s sudden increased importance from nothing, it doesn’t matter how much panel-time the characters have had to have importance in the Final Arc): Seylan Dikumenowlz du Parthevia, perhaps? Yes, really. You see, the themes of this manga has been about kings’ responsibilities, and Sinbad is this way because of his childhood in Parthevia. Furthermore, Seylan is only a ruler because of Sinbad according to him, and he lost everything in the past, including his sister, who may or may not have been Sinbad’s lover.

On top of that, without family, his only family-figure was Falan, and I think it’s pretty obvious M:AoS is setting things up so that Sinbad kills her or is the cause of her death. Furthermore, it would be because Falan is Al Thamen, and now Sinbad has allied himself with Arba, the leader of Al Thamen, which would ping some hypocrisy, since if Sinbad was consistent, he never would have done that.

Then there are the Kingly themes of this manga: It is the duty of rulers to guide their people back on the right path when they go astray. Like it or not, Sinbad was born a citizen of Parthevia, and as far as I know, there is no process to renounce that other than having it removed by the ruler of the realm (or his proxies).

It would also cause an interesting dynamic since Seylan is younger and in gratitude to Sinbad, but as the ruler of Parthevia, he needs to be akin to a distant father-figure in handling him. It could also bring up how Sinbad was willing to ignore the suffering of Parthevia’s people just as long as he got his kingdom, and Sinbad could bring up how the royal family ignored suffering even longer, and then Seylan could quietly bring up how Sinbad is blaming the son for the sins of his forefathers (when he’s acted like such an individualist), sparking a debate on destiny.

But yeah, Seylan lost his family and his empire’s sovereignty to Solomon’s destiny, Sinbad’s dreams, and Al Thamen’s worship, so he has plenty of personal reasons to confront Sinbad (and to fall into depravity and out of Sinbad’s control).

Those are all the ones (18 people, that’s quite a lot) I can think of at the top of my head who have more thematic and/or personal reasons to go against Sinbad than the quartet we got.

And two our quartet (Hakuryu and Judar) don’t even have the excuse of being main characters, meanwhile, the third main character is left out (I’m never letting go of how side-lined Morgiana is, am I? It will be in the Unholy Trinity alongside Belial and Mogamett’s staff).

Sinbad no Bouken 159

A quick an Long rant by me ^^ I tried to be more careful but i’m still at work and doing this as a side task, so beware of the usual things ( missreads, typos, i tried to not miss any stuff ) i will check it later and reblog it when i’m at home!

Update: Revised ^^

Night 159  “Zaizafon of Steel”

(Page 1) The chapter starts where we left last time. Zayzafon jumped to their side of the bridge and gets into battle position.

Myers says: what is this guy….

Then it’s Hinahoho or Mystras who says: To jump over that huge broken bridge like that…

(Page 2) Then Zayzafon introduces himself: I am Zayzafon of Steel, of the four Heavenly generals

Then… do you wish to become my opponent?

Hinahoho stares at Zayzafon for a moment and then he says: …. Mystras…

(Page 3)

Hinahoho: Before this, you were told to go and break the bridge that is left! As Drakon’s messenger Pipirika reported to you that you had to destroy the Land bridges. The only ones that can to that are us, the household vessel users.

Hinahoho: Even at this time, the other side ( The bridge) must be under enemy invasion… The thing that we must do is to save as many people as possible.

Then he adds: You understand that, right? Mystras.

Mystras answers with a decided look on his face: Yes. 

(Page 4)  Then, Mystras goes to the other bridge…. ( TN: one more day of life for Mystras, cheers!) and before he leaves he says: I entrust this place to you, Hinahoho!

Then Hinahoho grasps tightly his weapon and says: well, you dared to do this on your own.

The warrior of Imuchakk and of the eight generals of the kingdom of Sindria, Hinahoho… will become your opponent.

(Page 5)  Zayzafon: ho? An Imuchakk warrior from one of the most secluded regions of the north.

Fair enough, You will be a good match for an opponent. (TN: A worthy opponent)

Then, Hina and Zayzafon get ready to battle!

With Mystras and Pirpirika

Pipirika: Mystras, I will go too.

Mystras: Miss Pipirika!?

Pipirika: Because I’m an Imuchakk warrior. In times like this, I too will become a force of battle.

(Page 6)

Pipirika: I don’t have a household vessel but, I can be your protection Mystras! I will fight at your side.

Mytras smiles, a very cute and pure smile.

Mystras: I understand, let’s hurry!

Pipirika: Yes!!   (TN: is he gonna die saving her or something?? D:)

 In the Palace of the kingdom of Sindria.

Sindrian workers are watching the broken bridge.

Sindrian worker: They made it, Mr. Drakon!! One of the bridges has fallen.

(Page 7) Drakon: Still, we can’t let down our guard. Because we haven’t dropped both bridges yet.

And if the reports are legit, the one who’s commanding the front-line troops is that Zayzafon.

Rurumu: Is he someone you know?

Drakon: Yes. This is a story from the time when I was still a soldier… The four heavenly generals have been My big brother’s….. Barbarossa’s private group with extremely high combat skills.

Particularly, Zaizafon sworn loyalty to the Parthevian army since a long time ago, Hes a man that also has a close connection with the noble military family, the Dragul family…. And  he has made that loyalty be reflected on his war record.

(Page 8) By no means will he stop his army’s march.It is said that after his troops have passed, nothing but corpses remain, they are invincible and undefeated. Zaizafon the “immortal”, there are those kinds of rumors on the battlefield.

I don’t think there’s a way to hold down a man like him.

I hope Hinahoho and the others don’t have to face him.

With Hinahoho and Zayzafon, who are fighting weapon against weapon.

(Page 9) Hinahoho: what is this man? He’s equal to me, an Imuchakk, no… he’s beyond…

Zayzafon: hn, this is all an Imuchakk has !? show me what you can do.

Hinahoho: I will make no progress if this strength contest goes on… if that’s the case…..!!

(Page 10)

Household Vessel… “Galfor Roromus”

Hinahoho: this will finish him!!

(Page 11) And Zayzafon is frozen

Hinahoho: Sorry. To be honest, I don’t think I would win in a fist to fist battle.

With that full armor body, if i put you down in ice, it Will be over in one single shot.

(Page 12) Hinahoho: I win.

But Zayzafon gets out the ice much to Hinahoho’s surprise.

(Page 13)  Zayzafon: Too bad for you, Imuchakk warrior.

(Page 14)

Zayzafon: You can stop me with an attack of that level.

I will show you, the true ability of this full armor body.

Hinahoho: Eh. What's with that armor… somehow, it’s transforming.

.

.

.

And that was it! Let’s see how Hinahoho manages to beat this guy!! Thank you so much for reading! (^o^)

[caithyra]

Y’know...

...Everyone have been expecting for Serendine to RUIN EVERYTHING!!!!11! when it comes to Sindria 1.0 because of Zepar and all. But in the current chapter of M:tLoM, she is said to have sacrificed herself.

Maybe, because Ohtaka/Ohtera stubbornly refuses to let Serendine say anything about her feelings about her people/actually properly argumented concern about tying Sindria to Barbarossa (who discards his allies when they are no longer useful, see Serendine, who had to sell pieces of her body to survive, and not even his close family is safe, see Drakon, and his mutilated until death body), instead forcing her to repeat her blue blood argument time and time again (and how Parthevia is her family’s), perhaps it ends up being the other way around?

That Sinbad stubbornly building a kingdom while turning a blind eye to Barbarossa’s shenanigans is what breaks Sindria 1.0, and Serendine sacrifices herself and thus at least the ones who survived (Sinbad, Ja’far, Hinahoho, Sahel and so on), survived? I mean, what little we’ve seen of Sindria 1.0′s destruction is an inferno and lots of dead bodies, maybe it happened so that no one should have survived, but because of Serendine, there were survivors?

In which case Serendine’s one-dimensional act in the recent arcs of M:AoS, and inability to connect with Sinbad will be there for an emotional twist surprise for the readers, and not because characters would organically act that way (heck, the first couple of times an argument does not work, people generally switch arguments. And Sinbad and Serendine are the same age and both king vessels, AND lives and works in the same building, they should be interacting more, and not just about big world changing things, but about surprise birthday parties, or fight over where the couch should be, or best ways to conduct businesses, but the only time we see them interact now is to argue the same point over, and over, and over xInfinity again).

Of course, I could be wrong and Serendine RUINED EVERYTHING!!!111!1, doesn’t care about Parthevian people or Sindrian people and somehow Sinbad does not think of her as culpable as Judar (so... Adult woman has less agency than a little kid... Oh what am I saying? This is Magi, just look at adult Hakuei and kid Hakuryu in the previous chapter in which a kid is supposed to protect an adult...).

Oh, and apparently Sinbad who cast away doubts to selfishly become God in his battle against Ugo a few chapters back, now have doubts about whether or not he should be God?

So those panels of Sinbad being all “I’m doing this for myself! I need to be God!” were just wasted panels of fake-out to mislead the readers? Because it’s not like we’ve had any character development since then (oh, right, Magi, probably happened off-panel or in a joke omake that wont be released until many months after the relevance of this question).

Sinbad no Bouken 158

A quick an Long rant by me ^^ I tried to be more careful but i’m still at work and doing this as a side task, so beware of the usual things ( missreads, typos, i tried to not miss any stuff this time) i will check it later and reblog it when i’m at home!

Update: Revised ^^

Night 158 “Chaos”

(Page 1) The chapter starts with the people of Sindria trying to run away, they are screaming and all the screams reach Sinbad’s ears.

(Page 2) Sinbad is in rage mode and tries to fly away so he can do something, but Serendine says: Where are you going!?, Sinbad answers: Can’t you tell by looking!?

Sinbad: The island is on the brink of collapse due to the extreme magic from before! The Magician’s army that are on the bridges can’t hold that up.

(Page 3) Sinbad: If I don’t go, it will be annihilated. I can just overlook everyone!!

But Judar intervenes. 

Judar: you can’t do that. We have no time for them.

Judar: What we saw a while ago, was Barbarossa using his extreme magic. He’s injured so he can’t move so quickly. If we are going to track him down and find him, there’s no other time but this very moment to do so.

Judar: what we must do right now is defeat the main enemy. You can’t be distracted by other things.

Serendine: …… Sinbad.

(Page 4) Then Sinbad strengthens his hold on his sword and says: … I understand. Let’s look for Barbarossa.

And then he thinks to himself: I’m sorry everyone… Please hold on somehow…!!

(Page 5)

Meanwhile, on the bridges.

The troops commanded by Zayzafon are invading and the magicians can hold them down.

Myers: We won’t allow these guy’s invasion any further!!

  But looks like many Parthevian soldiers have been murdered and they really can’t keep holding Zayzafon’s army.

(Page 6) Parthevian Soldiers: it’s futile. We can’t hold on!!

Parthevian Soldiers: there’s no choice but to destroy the bridges!

(Page 7) Parthevian Soldiers: It-it’s impossible!!

Parthevian Soldiers: if these were suspension bridges ( TN: Rope bridges) maybe we could do it, but how can you destroy land bridges of this scale…!!

Meanwhile Myers is trying to make the Parthevian army back off

Myers: Ramz! Ramz!! Ramz!! ( TN: Thunder magic)

But her magic is stopped and cancelled by their shields.

Myers: Magic isn’t effective in these guys… is it possible that these guys….

while she thinks about that, the  soldiers get ready to attack her. 

(Page 8)

Myers: Aren’t human anymore….!!!  

And then one of the soldiers starts to break through her borg violently with his sword. 

(Page 9)

Myers: This is bad…

Myers: My borg won’t hold up…

Doron screams from behind: Sis!!

And then her borg finally breaks.

(Page 10) But in that moment, a great lightning falls down the sky!

  (Page 11) Myers: !!

And then we can see that it’s Mystras and Hinahoho who came to the rescue!

Hihahoho: geez… To think that we were told to suddenly thrown down a bridge…

Pipirika: Everyone, evacuate. It’s all right now.   (TN: She means something like, “thanks for your efforts until now, now you can go find shelter/evacuate)

Pipirika: Here are…

(Page 12 and 13) Our comrades, the eight generals of the kingdom of Sindria!

(Page 14)

Parthevian soldiers: did they throw down the bridge? What an impertinent behavior.

Hinahoho: Impertinent sounds nice.

Mystras: We won’t allow you to advance further into this country.

Zayzafon: ….... Unfortunately, I have to accomplish my mission. “To exterminate you and don’t leave a single one behind” those were lord Barbarossa’s orders.

(Page 15)

Then Zayzafon jumps to their side of the bridge.

Hinahoho says: hey hey, he’s being serious…

(Page 16)

And then he makes a strange transformation, turning into a gigantic version of himself. (Or maybe it’s just to give it a dramatic effect? he does look monstrous)

Zayzafon: Well, do you wish to be my opponent?

Hinahoho: This bastard… he completely jumped over the bridge.

.

 And that’s it! It was too short :< but hey, things are moving forward and we are in the middle of the battle now, this is exciting!

Thanks for reading :3

[itsdanystormborn]

Do you do headcanons at all? Can we see a headcanon for sinseren child or children? Thanks!

Yeah, i think about some things from time to time :D 

For a SinSeren child, i imagined that they would have a girl.

She would have Seren’s pink hair, but it would be very straight like Sinbad’s hair, her eyes are golden and she has Sin’s same mesmerizing look but with Seren’s long eyelashes and Sinbad’s thick eyebrows, but pink instead of purple ^^. 

When she’s young her hair is short with bangs, but when she’s older her hair is as long as Seren’s was, but unlike her mother her hairdos are really simple, she wears her hair in a way that looks like this, this or this,  with her bangs loose on the front, sometimes she changes it but it’s almost always a consistent style. 

She takes more after Sinbad in personality in the sense that she cares a lot about people, and wants to help them like her father does, but she’s also very proud like both of her parents and she transmits that confidence in the way she speaks to others ( much like both Sin and Seren, who could stand in equal ground with each other).

In a world in which Seren died in the war like in the original timeline, the girl lives at Sindria and is the royal princess. As she’s also a parthevian princess by blood, she keeps the title of imperial princess of parthevia ( uncle Ceylan wanted her to) but she’s not first on the succesion line since her uncle is king and his children go first, but she doesn’t care about that, she loves being in Sindria with her father and the generals, although she visits Parthevia regularly. She’s constantly worried about her father’s alcoholic tendencies and recurs to uncle Ja’far when she’s worried that her dad would drink too much on Mahrajan and festivities, so then both of them can look at him with disaproval :D Sin makes an effort to let the bottle go an instead will spend time with her and the other generals ^^ in the anniversary of the destruction of the first Sindria they would stay a little while after everyone is gone and she would ask Sinbad to tell her more things about her mother again. After Sin becomes king of the world, king Drakon tells her to keep her status as royal princess as she will be the next queen some day, so she does. She becomes an important figure in the international alliance, she doesn’t agree with a lot of things her father has done but tries to stay close to him because she’s afraid to lose him. Of course, she’s also a dungeon conqueror!

I actually made a drawing of her a while ago, but it wasn’t cute at all and threw it away xD maybe some day i’ll do it again :) i hope this isn’t very boring! i have some more ideas but they aren’t very clear at this moment. Thanks for the ask! (๑꧆◡꧆๑)

Sinbad no Bouken 156

A quick an Long rant by me ^^ I tried to be more careful but i’m still at work and doing this as a side task, so beware of the usual things ( missreads, typos, i tried to not miss any stuff this time) i will check it later and reblog it when i’m at home!  

►[Please don’t repost without giving credits. If you use this translation, don’t forget to share the link to this post!]◄

Update: Revised! ^^

Night 156 “The outbreak of war”

(Page 1) The chapter starts with Sinbad and Seren, who are suspended in the air above the country, facing one of the bridges that connect Sindria with Parthevia. (TN: lol, it’s funny how Sin looks all handsome and Seren is a little chubby ball, anyway…)

One of them says: This is the Parthevian army….

(Page 2 and Page 3) A massive number of Soldiers are getting closer to Sindria by the minute, massive, massive amount….

(Page 4) Serendine speaks to Sinbad: Sinbad, you understand the strategy, right?

Sinbad says: Yes.

And then we have a little square that puts: 3 hours before. And we have all the Sindrian crew + Seren & co. planning their war strategy.

Drakon says: well then, I’ll explain. Then he starts pointing at a map of Sindria+ Parthevia and explains: Presumably 10,000 soldiers are facing us from this place.

This is only the first array of troops. More and more larger numbers of soldiers will probably be deployed after them.  

Mystras says: Beyond 10, 000 soldiers… that’s…

Manuscript says: *gulps down*

(Page 5)

Drakon: If a full war (TN: If they use all their war potential) takes place, there’s no chance of succeeding against this great army. But our battle is different. The tactic that we have is “a defensive battle” of holding up a siege.

Hinahoho asks: defensive battle?

Drakon explains: pay attention at the terrain/ topography. The thing that connects the Kingdom of Sindria to the land are only these 2 main bridges.

Aside from these, there is no other way to perform an invasion but to use the ocean to do it.  (TN: the only other way to invade is by the ocean)

(Page 6) Hinahoho: In other words, you are saying that just by guarding those 2 main bridges and the sea from the port harbor, it should be enough to protect the country?

Drakon: That’s right.  No matter how large the army is, they will inevitably get confined in that place. After that, we should defeat the opponents one by one.

In the meantime, we will track down Barbarossa where the enemy generals are. If we can defeat him, that’s the spot where we end this battle.

We have little armed forces so we have no choice but to fight the Parthevian army this way. Our aim is only Barbarossa alone.

Using the terrain/ geographical features, we reduce this pointless battle to a minimum. This is the only plan we can pursue.

(Page 7) Someone says: As expected from Drakon sama!

Hinahoho says: With this plan, it seems that we will be able to make it some way.

Tamira says: Barbarossa is already wounded… if we think about defeating only that guy, we should have a chance of winning. This is not a battle that can never be won. (TN: This is not a lost battle)

Drakon thins to himself: That’s right, we have no other choice, but this plan. But my brother… Barbarrossa, there is no way that he won’t became aware of it. what should we think in that case?

(Page 8) Saher asks him: Drakon-sama?

Drakon is still thinking to himself: no, we decided to follow our master. Right now we have nothing else but to trust in ourselves.  Right? Sinbad…

.

 The scene changes to Sinbad and Seren once again.

Seren says: The arrangement is complete from this place too.

(Page 9) Then Seren or Sin says: The magician corps from the revolutionary movement are in the 2 bridges.  The household vessel users are deployed in the coast, and in the central part of the city.

The rest of our forces will prioritize finding shelter and evacuate the citizens. They are being guided to a uncompromised section.

(Page 10)

Sinbad:  And at the same time this war is starting, we are looking for the Barbarrosa in order to defeat him…

Is that sort of plan okay, Judar?

Judar, who is grabbing Sinbad’s tail (TN: oh no, it’s cute!) comes to the front, still hugging the tail and says:  yeah, that’s right. In addition, this power of mine, as a “Magi” is necessary!

Seren says: If Judar is here, it appears that somehow, we have the ability to perceive/feel metal vessels, or so it seems.

Manuscript says: He told me so when I first met him.

Seren:   We have no choice but to rely in that power in our search for Barbarossa.

Sinbad is like: that’s why… this guy is here.

Judar says something like: is it okay for you to behave that way towards me?

(Page 11) You, in any case how do you metal vessels plan to fight?

Metal vessels consume large quantities of Magoi. In a battle against another metal vessel user, preserving magoi becomes a problem.

But in that aspects, you guys are different. Because I’m here and I’m a Magi.

Sinbad: “Magi” are able to absorbe an inexhaustible supply of Magoi from the rukh. So, the strategy is that you will supply Magoi for us.  I understand that.

That’s not what I don’t like.

You guys, why don’t you go straight to the point? (TN: why are you being so redundant?)

(Page 12) Not long ago, Judar and Falan…. I learned that in truth, you were working together.

Manuscript says: we are from the same organization.

My problem is not in the fact that you hid it.

If Falan is on your side, you should have been able to directly take Barbarossa with Zepar instead me, right?

If the guy is so abominable, couldn’t you have either brainwashed him or self-destruct him?

Why didn’t you do that?

Serendine: ….

Judar: hey… “Zepar” is not almighty you know?

(Page 13)

Judar: You See, about “Zepar” …  when you make interference in your opponent with that special soundwave, you push your rukh into their heads but, for that reason you have to take away your opponent's consciousness completely. That “gap” like when you fell asleep in the showdown against Serendine was necessary.

Serendine: Barbarossa is a wary/watchful guy… i couldn’t have interfered without him noticing it that “gap”

But if I had the chance to do it, I would snatch away his life immediately. It’s a shame that it couldn’t happen. (TN: that my “wish” didn’t come true)

Judar: Exactly.  Besides, our objective is rather than that…. No, it doesn’t matter (TN: Uh, sketchy…)

Judar smiles in this moment.

(Page 14) Judar thinks to himself: hehe, it was close. That’s right, there is no way to end this battle that easily.  Because you guys are already…. (TN: Uh, more sketchiness….)

In the palm of our hands. (TN: Oh Sh*t)

 ..

There’s the big army...

Seren is like: !!

Sinbad says: The army is starting to move…. What is it? This situation is strange.

(Page 15) Are they… retreating?   (TN: Are these soldiers even alive….?)

And them something even more strange starts to happen

(Page 16) in Myers’ side, she has also noticed it and she says: what?!

(Page 17) In ja’far an vittel’s side it’s also happening… Jafar says: And earthquake? And Vittel says: No! this is….!!!

(Page 18) Back at Sin and Seren’s side, Sinbad says: Extreme …magic!!!

  Holy ... D: okay, that was it, sorry for taking a bit longer. This is interesting, now we’ll see how everybody fights in this battle, I guess we’ll start to lose people soon D:

Thanks for reading!

Sinbad no Bouken 155

A quick an Long rant by me ^^ I tried to be more careful but i’m still at work and doing this as a side task, so beware of the usual things ( missreads, typos, i tried to not miss any stuff this time) i will check it later and reblog it when i’m at home!  

Update: Revised! ^^

Night 155 “Fighting determination”

(Page 1) The chapter starts where we left last time. After hearing Myers’ words, Sinbad asks: You say that Barbarossa has officially made a declaration of war to the kingdom of Sindria?

Myers answers: Yes. Soon, The Parthevian army will make their arrival towards this place.

(Page 2) Ja’far, Drakon and Masrur look scared. Serendine speaks: They are faster than we assumed.  Saher adds: The enemy is also impatient. And Tamira adds: No. On the contrary, they might have an ulterior motive…. (TN: There might be more to it)

Then, Ja’far tries to speak to Sinbad: Sin! What do we do? At this rate, Sindria will become a battlefield. And Vittel adds: But now even if we send a messenger to Parthevia, it’s too late… what the heck do we do?  while Ja’far keeps calling him:  Sin, King Sinbad!!

(Page 3) Then Sin closes his hand into a fist, and says: I understand. We will also fight.

Vittel and Ja’far are like whaaat but Sinbad speaks before they can say anything and says: No matter what we do, in this circumstances war will happen. Right now, we have no other choice ( TN: Literal: we have no choice but to do what we can) That being the case, we will attack Barbarossa…!!

But, this is not for your benefit. (TN: He’s speaking to Serendine). I have decided to do so by my own will.

(Page 4) I will not allow/forgive your selfishness any more. (TN: I won’t allow you doing your own convenience)

Serendine answers: All right. But don’t forget about it. The fact that I still have my “Zepar” inside your head.

Sinbad answers: …… That’s just fine. I’m here/I have no intention of running or hiding.

(Page 5) Then, someone comes in and says: You have finally finished your conversation? Serendine.

Then we can see Judar waking while he adds: good grief! Your talk was too long and I grew tired of waiting. Finally, it’s our turn. He says while he reaches everyone’s side, with Falan right next to him.

Sinbad says: Judar, also Falan… why?

(Page 6) Judar says: “Why” you ask? It’s because I’m Serendine’s Magi that it was decided that I’ll be together with her in this place.  Manuscript says: are you an idiot? (TN: XD)

Then Ja’far starts fighting with Judar, Ja’far says: Saying “idiot” is uncalled-for.  And Judar says: a? is that so? Freckles!!

While they are at it, Falan speaks: We are nothing but collaborators who approve of this reform.

The Parthevia of this moment has already been transformed into a terrifying country by means of Barbarossa’s tyrannical rule. I’m a court Magician that serves for the royal family. That is not my original purpose/intention.

Please let me assist you as well, in order to take down Barbarossa.

In that moment Ja’far calls Sin: Sin…

(Page 7) We have decided to follow you. We, the eight generals, are the faithful subjects of the King.

We will act in accordance to the decision of the king.

Sin closes his hand into a fist, and says.

(Page 8) Sinbad says: Let’s fight. For the sake of this country.

Change of Setting. Parthevian Empire. (TN: The palace to be precise)

(Page 9)

Some servants that are dressed in a similar fashion that Falan’s disguise are following Barbs on a corridor: “Please wait, Barbarossa-sama, that injury is excessive.”

One of them grabs him by the arm and says: Come back to the hospital room right now, Barbarossa sama.

But Barbs grabs his metal-vessel

The servant is confused: eh?

And then Barbs cuts his face in half with his metal vessel (TN: Holy shit Barbs he was just worried about you omg, RIP this poor guy)

(Page 10) The other servant is left there horrified.

Barbs reaches where Memphis is and asks him: How are things progressing, Memphis?

Memphis: Yes Sir, the first army and the second battle formation have already sally forth.

The third formation will take a little more time to prepare…

Barbs interrumpt him and says: Too slow, press on it.

(Page 11) Memphis says: but, your highness, the kigdom of Sindria is simply a commercial nation.

They don’t even have military troops, it’s a small country. Why is it necessary to go this far to make military preparations?

Besides, there are many doubts about this matter…

The outcome of the examination/investigation, As before, contact between Sinbad and Serendine couldn’t be confirmed for one year from this point.

Besides, that condition…It’s very similar to Rotter’s situation on that time.

(Page 12) from now on it’s just speculation but, it might only be that Sinbad was used with some kind of power. If that’s the case….

Barbs: I have known that since long ago. Because we handled that man so he would not be able to betray us.

Barbs: if you think about the circumstances, naturally, you would reach that conclusion. That man was merely used.

Memphis: if you knew this to that extent, then why…?

Barbarossa: because.

(Page 13) “To manipulate Humans” if they have such power, that is a menace. That’s why we are anticipating, we have to snatch away the thoughts of our enemy.

Whether is magic of whatever it might be, if we waste too much time we are at disadvantage.  

That’s why such things are indifferent ( TN: If Sinbad was possessed or not)

Either way, if Sinbad was such a vessel they have taken advantage of like thaat to that degree then…

(Page 14) That’s a shame. After all that man was merely one of the “inferior species” too.

Then he adds: Get ready, I will also leave.

Memphis: as you wish.

Then barbs think to himself: I will exterminate the “inferior species”

I won’t leave a single one behind.

..

And that’s it! Sorry for the delay and sorry if the end seems a bit rushed. Things are a bit crazy today and I’m a bit sick again xD.  ill check it later as usual, but I tried to be careful even if I was in a rush. There’s a break next week, they left us hanging!! Nooo!! Haha anyway, the end is coming.

Thank you for reading!!
