Sinbad had just arrived in Balbadd, deciding to visit his mentor while on one of his many adventures. He grinned, seeing the kingdom once again, it even seemed livelier than the last time he was here.

He'd have to ask the King what he was doing to make such an improvement.

With haste, he began his journey to the castle.

White hair fluttered as he passed a girl, just as he heard the chirping of Rukh, making him stop in his traps and whirling around to following the form of the girl the kept walking. 

"Sin?" Ja'far questioned, looking around him to see what he was looking at. Scowling when he saw the girl walking around a corner, he was about to hit him, before pausing. Sinbad's face wasn't one of lust, or infatuation; his brows were furrowed, curiosity in his eyes rather than anything. "What is it?"

"She..." he mulled over his next words, "the Rukh around her was so...alive. I didn't even notice her until she had already passed me."

"The Rukh?" Ja'far echoed, looking back at where she used to be, shaking his head. "You can dwell on it later, come on, we're wasting time!"

"Sinbad! What a surprise to see you," King Rashid smiled at this former student, he had been informed of his arrival and was pleasantly surprised, but was happy nonetheless.

"Hello, teacher!" Sinbad greeted, "We were nearby, so I decided to stop and see how everything is going. By the looks of how lively the streets are, I'd say well!" 

King Rashid frowned, leaning his cheek on his hand, "So you've noticed it as well."

Both Sinbad and Ja'far blinked at the sudden change of character, "Yes," Ja'far nodded, "it seems like the slums aren't as bad as they were on our last visit."

"No, they aren't," he agreed, frown deepening, "but I had nothing to do with it."

"Huh? What do you mean by that?" Sinbad asked, bewildered. If it wasn't him, then who?

"There is someone helping the people, and I don't know who it is. They have been striving for a month already and it seems to be improving every day."

"Have you tried looking for this person?" Ja'far asked, holding his chin.

"Yes, but whenever any of the palace guards go to question the people, they get defensive. They're hostile towards them."

"I see..."

"How curious," Sinbad grinned, "I wish I can meet whoever is helping all these people!" He laughed, "Maybe they'll join me in my quest to change the world!"

"I heard your wish."

All the occupants jumped at the female voice, looking towards the source, the palace guards raising their weapons.

There, a girl in a long robe of beautiful colors and designs, her white hair glistening. The Rukh dispersed, fluttering her attire and hair. One eyes glowed a luminous blue while the other a glinting gold- that, none of them had ever seen before. The girl simply smiled, and bowed for them all.

"Hello, I am Jirachi," she met Sinbad's gaze, "You wished for me?"
