Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas

I can't believe I watched this movie all the way through and didn't have a spazz attack. I LOVED IT! Weird, right? Yeah, well, I have odd taste in movies. It doesn't help that I'm in love with two of the characters and think the female lead is kick-butt, either. I think it was just the fact that I'd seen it before, loved it, lost it then REFOUND IT that really made me go "HOLY CRAPSICKLES"! So, after having to beat myself over the head repeatedly to get all the fanfiction ideas out of my head, I finally decided to write out the entire Sinbad story here for everyone to enjoy. Not many people are going to read this story, but I promise you that even if you haven't seen the movie, you'll like it and understand it. Also, all the dialogue is the same as the movie, and I tried not to change anything!

So please enjoy, and please review. I'd like to know that people still like this old movie!

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters, and as much as I'd like to glomp Proteus and Sinbad, I can't because they're not mine. Plus, Marina might get angry if I even try Sinbad…

Chapter One: Eris

A thin blanket of clouds hovered just above the ground, a spinning globe in the midst of it all. The odd room seemed to have a dome shape to it instead of your usual four walls, complete with stars, constellations and various other celestial bodies, which floated around the circular perimeters of the room. A dull brownish gold color was splattered across the constellations here and there. Odd shapes and symbols splashed across the walls in a dark, bluish color. All was quiet, yet strained, as if waiting for the tiniest sign of command to begin the day's work. Their sign came in the form of a ball, which slowly formed out of thin air and unraveled into a woman, whose features were hidden by the shadows. A voice rang throughout the room, dark and lustrous.

"Wake up, my beauties."

A beautiful figure elegantly walked forward on nothing but air towards a rotating ball in the center of the endless room. This wasn't just any ordinary sphere, however. It was Earth. Now the size of a human basketball, it wasn't the Earth that had gotten smaller, but actually the woman that had gotten larger. For just inside the atmosphere of the spinning blue-and-green globe were people, unaware that someone was constantly watching their every move. That person was Eris, the goddess of strife.

The figure continued to walk towards the globe as the constellations around her took life. They hissed, spat, and slithered towards her happily, all gruesome-looking and quite transparent. They almost seemed to swim towards their master, slowly becoming less transparent and gaining color. Their constellation stars still shone within them brightly, giving off an odd glow. The oddly beautiful goddess spoke again, her long, thick black hair and simple purple dress floating and swirling around her mischievously. Her eyes were a sharp red color, poisoned with yellow and filled to the brim with hate.

"Rise and shine! It's a brand new day and the mortal world is at peace…" A truly dark and evil smile played across her face, one of the warning signs that she was in the mood to cause some chaos. "—but not for long."

"Just look at them!" Eris' hand brushed along the clouds over North Africa, sending them sprawling in all different directions. She straightened up and looked over at one of her most prized constellations that was floating nearby: Cetus. She pulled out a tiny thread from North Africa, a sandy yellow color to match the deserts found there. Eris pulled on it, forcing it to stretch beyond its limits.

"I pull one tiny thread and their whole world unravels into chaos...glorious chaos."

The thread snapped, instantly spiraling into the abyss and disappearing. The constellations looked on in approval, floating in the gentle gravity of Eris' kingdom. The goddess' hair was never out of motion, always floating and bouncing as if excited for what the day will bring. She closed her eyes for a moment, a smile on her face.

Eris looked back at the globe, and suddenly, her smile widened. She quickly came closer to the rotating sphere, placing her hands on its atmosphere tenderly as she zoomed in for a closer look. Her eyes detected something on the surface of an ocean down below.

"And what could be more perfect than this?" She said as she saw something that made her eyes light up: a fine ship with bright blue sails happily making its way across the ocean, while being closely pursued by a smaller, but also rather nimble ship with red sails and an air of adventure about it. The first ship belonged to a trustworthy man of high status, while the second belonged to a not-so-honest man of much lower rank. Of course, there was obviously treasure involved, which the blue-sailed ship seemed to carry in its oddly-shaped lower deck. Eris knew all of this, of course, and knew there was no way she was going to pass up an opportunity like this.

"A noble prince, a priceless treasure and a black-hearted thief. Oh, this is going to be fun."

Eris straightened up and smirked as she thought of all the possible ways she could add to the havoc that was sure to ensue once the two ships caught up to each other. She turned to look at the closest constellation to her, which also happened to be a water-based mythical creature. Eris lifted up her hands and gave the constellation a look as it floated near her. It seemed to be looking right at her as it was given its orders. It was only once sentence, but that was all it took to get her message across.

"Cetus, you know what to do."

Cetus seemed to nod at its master as it started to float upwards in a dignified way, tentacles hovering over the slowly rotating and peaceful Earth. Suddenly, it began to dive towards the Earth, shrinking to fit its size and becoming much more animal-like by the second. It spun as it fell into the deep blue ocean, creating a splash big enough to start a tidal wave. The two ships, however, didn't seem to notice.

Eris' wicked smile played across her lips once again.

"Let the games begin!"
