Miriam giggled as she was lifted into her adopted brother’s arms, wrapping her arms around his neck. It was an extremely nice change from what she knew when they were both growing up in the slums. 

She settled against Alibaba’s side, cuddling up to him with a small yawn. “I love you, Alibaba. I wanna play more….when I wake up.”

         🔥 “ Love you too, you little cuddle monster!~ There’s enough time for playing          so rest well! I’ll show you around and even introduce you to my friends. I’m not            gonna go anywhere without you. Its my duty as your brother to stay by your            side and also protect you for now and forever! “ And as promised he began               making her a flower crown from the flowers close by and around them,                 adding all kinds of bright colors that would come out looking great                  and hopes she would like it, and hum her a song his mother use                                                        to sing to the three of them to sleep.

The lullaby almost instantly lulled the little girl off to sleep, clinging to her brother’s clothes tightly. She slept for quite a while, but once she was awake had energy to spare and wanted to play. “Can we go play now? Can you take me to Kassim too?” She wanted to see her older brother! She missed him!

Mariam was having an amazing time exploring and listening to her adoptive brother’s stories! But since her body was so weak near the end in life, it would take her a while to build up strength now she was back among the living world. 

She was exhausted but happy!

“Mm, I will!” She smiled, reaching out for a hug. “Is it okay if I take a nap? Im sleepy.” It was a very busy first day back for her, she needed the rest! Though she didn’t want Alibaba to leave, which was why she was trying to get a hug. 

       🔥 Oddly enough he was used to this scene. Having a lively but young one             follow him around like a duckling to the mother duck whilst eagerly and               mesmerized listens to his stories. The only difference being rather it               being Aladdin is his lost…adopted sister? Once dead but not really?

                    Whatever you’d call this. And most certainly he won’t let                       her out his sight nor leave alone one bit for a while now.

          Unknown even to him brotherly instincts overwhelm him but after what            happened he wouldn’t want anything bad happen to her nor lose her            again. “ Come here you. “ He complied almost on instant her arms              reached towards him. Looking briefly around and carrying Mariam                like a princes then decided a quiet place was what she needed                  to rest. Both laying on grass and backs against an oak tree,                    city in view where most changes were made on buildings,                      streets and whatnot but still recognizable, and people                                                           going on about their lives.

      “ Rest as much as you need. In the meantime I’ll make you a flower crown. “

Well….she understood a little bit of that at least. Though he looked really twitchy and nervous. She smiled up at him and nodded, to show she kinda understood.

“Have you done lots of cool stuff? Could you tell me about them? Pretty please?” Mariam was excited at the prospect of entertaining stories of her brother-figure’s adventures outside of Balbadd. Though with how long she had been walking on her own with little sleep, she was starting to get tired.

           🔥 How could he say no to that? Besides, telling either of his adventure             was something he was happy to share. Mariam was just as curious and                 adorable as he remembers her. As if only yesterday they were kids                  playing in the slums. Though the height difference along with time,                                  age and growth are a reminder of the time spent apart.

                 “ Alot of cool stuff! Man, i don’t even know where to start. “

         While narrating and telling her about the places he had been or visited,              the things he had done or seen, friends he made and promised to               introduce her to especially Aladdin and Morgiana, he pauses in               his story telling to show her around what has changed and what               remained sort of familiar in Balbadd for the young girl to see but               explore since as far can recall she never went outside of slums                                                                        - none he is aware of.

           Giving her feedback of what happened and how or why things have           changed before resume his stories. But noticing her exhaustion he             called it quits in showing her around and decided to head home               instead. Where she can sleep and dine if hungry or anything.                And it would be better than the tent they used to live under.

                “ Now Mariam if you need anything just say so, ok? “

“How did everyone get big though? How long was I gone?” She blinked, despite how happy she was hearing how everyone grew up. It felt almost alien, like she didnt belong in this world or with everyone anymore.

“Do you have a baby?” She couldnt help being curious. People in the slums seemed to have children early in life, so she wondered if Alibaba had any children of his own now. Mariam asked, clinging to his pant leg as they walked. He was so much taller now!

              🔥 “ …..Just few years. “ It tugged at his heart strings to voice it out.               Knowing well this might not have a good impact on her, though she at                                  same time deserved the truth. As bitter sweet as it was.

           While its true most slums people had tendency to start a family fast, he          was the only odd one around. Almost a young adult and he still hasn’t had                                                    a girlfriend save for marry and start a family.

   Ok, Alibaba. You can handle this like a man! You’re a grown man for crying out loud!

        He gave himself the pep talk. Only what came out was stammering and him          fidget like a fool….alot. “ I-I was busy living by the rule of the sword! A, erm,          now-warrior’s job is never over. Too much time consuming! Not given enough            time to find himself a b-bride nor start a family. You’ll probably understand                                                    that better when you’re older. “ Nailed it!

“They really gave everyone homes? And jobs too? That’s so cool! ” She didn’t mind not knowing how it happened, just that it did.

At the offer of seeing what had changed, she nodded enthusiastically. “Pretty please? You’ll really show me?” She had been unsure if she had somewhere to go since the slums had been all she knew.

“Is everyone still around? All of our friends and everyone?”

       🔥 “ Exactly! “ It didn’t matter to him whether Mariam knew truth or not. Just the        outcome after the tragedy was enough for him. Sur ehe and Kasism may dreamed       of a republic system for Balbadd but perhaps now wouldn’t be a time to change nor       overstep his luck and boundaries. Mariam’s safety among with his friend’s who still                          lived here and every citizen needed this - albeit odd - state of peace.

     “ Yeah but you may not recognize them as they grew old. Get this Zaynab finally       married Hassan and works in a flowershop- I know shocking! “ He snorted while      twirling his finger in the air mid escorting her out of what was once slums and into      city. Maybe if asked said couple wouldn’t mind having them over for the night. But       most importantly care for his adopted baby sister when his short stay here was         over. He can’t risk bring her with him in any adventures or political business.         Too risky and dangerous.“ Oh! And they even have a baby! As for Tariq he                              is now working by docks while Sa’id is now an ox driver! “

Mariam laughed when she was hugged, nuzzling into the hold happily. “Huh? No one? Where is everyone living now?” She clung to his arm, peering up at her adopted brother.

         🔥 “ In the city. The … government made sure everyone was escorted from slums              and offered a house in a certain side of town. Not to mention jobs and whatnot. “            Although left out the fact the process toget here. With Kou inavding the bestow                   their order upon it. But then later a second revolt spark and now everything                    changed; everyone was happy but Balbadd went through alot fo changes.

                “ Wanna go see everyone and the city? Surely you must be curious                      and considering there’s not much left to see from our….old home.  “

The pinching and prodding made her face scrunch up, while the head tapping made her giggle.

“Hmmm…nu-uh…I dont really remember anything past when I was hurting lots— well I remember meeting someone and he told me I was dead..but I dont remember who he was..” She struggled to remember…but nothing.  “Then I woke up here, thats all I remember. Is Cassim here?” 

      🔥 Don’t get him wrong. He was more than glad she was alive and well. But it didn’t        make sense to him how she came to be after been said dead for years now to suddenly           be walking around all well as if nothing after his leaving the slums to palace, to before          Balbadd’s revolution against monarchy, or even start of poverty, had been nothing but a                                                                                                                         bad dream of Cassim’s.

        “ Oh, you. C’mere! “ He inhaled then elt out a long sigh before the demand, of hug            that came afterwards. Mind as well stop questioning why or how she came back to             life but rather be thankful and appreciate having Mariam back within the living and                                                                                                                                in his life again.

          But soon let go of her after a tight embrace before squeezing her so much he may            accidently mold her back into the baby sister he remmeebrs before and after his             mother died. “ He’s not here. Actually no one lives in the slums anymore. They                                                                                                              all been evacuated. “

Mariam nudged around some of the garbage in the junkyard she was in. She was exhausted and was looking for anything she could use as shelter. Finding a decent blanket was certainly something! Holding it with one arm she kept looking through the pile.

Mariam was so tired, it felt like she had been walking forever looking for Alibaba or Cassim. She had visited her old home first...but found it completely abandoned so she kept moving. For a little girl it was a lot, so she found somewhere shaded and out of the way to sleep for a little. 

It looked like someone lived there, or at least had been there recently. She hoped they wouldnt be upset if they came back...but she was too sleepy to find a different place so she curled up under a table and quickly dozed off. Trying to stay hopeful that she was going to find one of her brothers soon as she fell asleep.

Well since this may get around faster...give this a like or reblog for a starter from Mariam?

“I just woke up on the other side of the city, i remember you went away and I hurt a lot and Cassim was crying—but i dont remember anything after that. Do you know where my brother is? I havent seen him!” How could Cassim have been with her? She had been alone since she woke up!

             🔥 To say he was shocked would be a misunderstanding. How was she alive?                       He wanted to abck away and so he did with one or maybe two steps. taking                        good look at her, although his face grew pale since to him its like facing a                                                                                                           literal ghost frm the past.

         “ How— no! He was with you! You were both heading to the flow of rukh! I saw–              Aladdin showed me. ”  He kneeled so they could be at eye level and started to            poke her, pinch cheeks or tap head. Anything to make sure she’s really here and              he’s not losing his mind! To somehow relief she was as solid and warm as a               normal breathing and living person would be. But it still didn’t wash away the                    shock he just got nor confusion how his adopted baby sister was alive.

                         “ Mariam can you remember anything else besides                                   what you told me? This doesn’t make any sense. “

[floweroftheslums]

The pinching and prodding made her face scrunch up, while the head tapping made her giggle.

The little girl had just finished her doodle when the heard Alibaba yelling. Looking up it wasnt hard for her to recognize him. Though he had been a lot younger the last time she had seen him.

“Alibaba!” Mariam dropped her stick and ran over to him, hugging his leg. “Youre really big now! Wheres Cassim? I thought he would be here but I havent seen anybody!”

          🔥 He’s unsure how she hoped this reunion would go, but a perplexed blond staring               down at her with wide eyes and mouth open in agape wasn’t one of them.Pardon his                 brief moment of lacking response as he was restraining form scremaing or try get                      away form her. For for him it felt as if literally seen, meet and hugged a ghost.

             “ Wait! Huh? “ He staggered, trying hard to muster not only composure but his                     balance from the startle she just gave him. “ What– Mariam?! How are you                                                                           here? I thought Cassim was with you? “

[floweroftheslums]

The last thing Mariam remembered was how much pain she had been in, she remembered her brother being by her side but not much else after that. The next thing she knew she was surrounded by golden butterflies and a huge figure before her. Then she woke up on the other side of Balbadd from where she used to live, with no idea how she ended up there.

Her first thought was where Cassim was…she had no idea. It took her at least three days to get back to anywhere she recognized. Making her way to where she remembered living with Alibaba, his mother and Cassim. She crouched down and wrapped one arm around her knees in front of the old, run down home. Holding a stick in her other hand, making a doodle of her, Cassim and Alibaba in the dirt.

          🔥 Plagued by previous events still fresh in his mind, steady paces took the young               man to only place he knew could put his mind at ease. There was so much damage               that needed to be fixed, many people still suffering despite celebrating current victory.                  Some losing slowly hope or faith for this country while some still try their best to                  restore to its formal glory. Him being one of them. But currently couldn’t function                 well; not as their Prince, a fellow citizen nor human being. He needed space and                                                                                               silence. And he knew just the place.

         Somehow walking down the same road he used to scram to get home t his mother, or            running form a certain boy with dreadlocks along other play mates when playing tag            always clamed him down. Although he’s pacing on a wasteland after it all had been               abandoned and burned down. He recallswith ease everything. Who’s place was                  close to their home. Where they’d lay out the freshly washed clothes. Where                      they’d sell food or cigars or even drinks. Where they used to play. And it                                                                brings a smile to his lips just thinking of such.

         When he got to where his old house used to be- more like a simple tent, he couldn’t            believe his eyes. A child? Out here by themselves? He looked aorund but saw no             adult nor say sibling or friend aorund. Why would a kid be here? Why would they              come all the way towardswhat used to be slums and all alone for that. Not that                                            anyone was around anymore yet it still could be dangerous.

           “ Hey you! What are you doing here? The slums isn’t a playground for children.“           Not anymore the least. Although this place used to be what he’d proudly call his home.
