I-I... I just put the...Oh, this is just too easy.Look at it this way:Now that Sinbad's gone,your father can finally relaxand enjoy the evening.Well, you're right about that.He's trying not to show it,but he's so proudto have the Book in Syracuse.He's been planning this dayhis whole life.And soon it will beyour responsibility.Our responsibility.It's beautiful.It is.My father spent yearspreparing it for the Book.There are guards on every level,and if you look up to the...You were talking aboutthe ocean, weren't you?I only wish I'd seen more of it.I used to imagine sailingfar beyond the Twelve Cities,discovering the world.Oh, look at it, Proteus.There's so much wonder.Marina...Our marriage was arrangedmany years ago.It's always been expected of us.But politics is not a reasonto get married.Uh, and I don't want you to do thisjust because it's your duty.I'm asking you for myself now.Marina...will you marry me?Proteus, I...There you are!I think the delegates from Manoliare trying to give a toast.Although, I'm not sure.They're doing somethingwith their knees.Marina, I need an ambassador.Of course, Sire.- Who's there?Sinbad!I love playing pretend.All the pieces are coming together.Proteus, the Book!Sinbad.Proteus!It's about time.Do you realize how serious this is?Do you realizehow many times I've heard that today?You've betrayed Syracuse!Oh... not you, too.Stealing the Book of Peace,when you knew how muchit meant to us!Proteus, here'sthe way this works.First, I actually commit a crime,and then you getto blame me for it!Then how do you explain this?Eris.What?Eris... she framed me.- Sinbad, listen to yourself.- Trust me, Proteus,the Book is in Tartarus.Talk to your father.Tell him I'm...This is beyond my father.The ambassadors are conveningnow for your trial.Trial? I didn't do it!Look, I left the Book on your ship,and that's the last I saw of it.You were there.You know the truth.You know me.Do I?I knew a kid.Who are you now, Sinbad?Look me in the eye and tell me.Did you steal the Book?No.We've heard enough of your lies.Sinbad,for the last time, give us the Book.How many times do I have to say it?I don't have it!Very well, then.The Delegationof the Twelve Cities finds youguilty of treason,and we sentence you to die.Take him away.Come on!This is a joke, right?Are you...are you people blind?I didn't do it!Stop!I demand the right of substitution.Take me in his place.No!Sinbad saysthat Eris took the Book...and I believe him.Let him go to Tartarusand recover the Book.What?What are you doing?You claim that Erisstole the Book...steal it back.You're good at that.Hey, look, I will not beresponsible for your life.You would do the same for me.No, I wouldn't.If Sinbad is allowed to leavethe city, he'll never come back!Son, listen to reason.No, Father, you listen.Sinbad either stole the Book,or he's telling the truthand it's in Tartarus.Either way, he's our only hope.But you can't...Proteus, you realize thatif Sinbad does not return,you will be put to death in his place.I understand.So be it.Sinbad has ten daysto return the Book.Release him.Oh, and, Sinbad...don't be late.So, any ideahow we actually get to Tartarus?Tartarus?Oh, no, no, no, no.People get killed in Tartarus.So where are we going?Fiji.Fiji?

Really.But I'm touched by your concern.Sinbad?Thank you for coming after me.Well, y...you're welcome.This life suits you.I wasn't made for dry land.And you?Is it the shore... or the sea?I've always loved the sea.I even dreamed of a life on it.But it wasn't meant to be.I have responsibilities in Syracuse.You really have to give it up?Yes.You know, I've traveled the world,seen things no other man has seen...but nothing...nothing compares to the open sea.And is this what you always wanted?Not really.When we were young, Proteus and Iused to talk aboutjoining the Royal Navyand serving Syracuse side by side.But as we got older,our lives began to change.He's a prince, and I'm... well.I was never jealous of him, though...until one morning,a ship came into harbor...a ship with his future on it.It was the most beautifulthing I'd ever seen.What was on the ship?You.Proteus met you at the dock.I jumped on the first outbound shipand never looked back.Until now.The gates of Tartarus.Rat! Give me a lookout!We're dead.What is it?!I-I-It just ends, Captain!It's the edge of the world!Pay up. It's flat.Well, that's it.Time to go home.The captain hasn't given his orders yet.Follow that star beyond the horizon.Beyond the horizon.Sinbad?Men! All hands to your posts!Free all sheets!Wait for my command!What?Now! Go! Go! Go!Eh, Sinbad, how-how arewe gonna pull this off?Just trust me.Rat! Rig the main yard to the fors'le!But that would stop us dead!Just do it!Aye, aye, Captain.Slack to all sheets!Aye, aye, Cap'n!Cut the fore and main trusses!- Move! Move! Move!I got it. I got it. I got it.Aft yard astern!But that's...Crazy, I know! Now hurry!Here, grab it!Go!Swing the fors'le to port!Ease the aft!Full hoist to forward sails!Aye, aye, Captain.Come on!Pull!Tie off all sails!All hands amidships!And pray to the gods.We may be meeting them soon.We're going to die.Hold on! Grab the rope!Come on, come on,come on, come on!It worked?Sinbad......you did it.- Grab hold!Grum, hard to port!Hard to port!- Kale!- Aye!If I don't make it, the ship is yours.No.Gentlemen, it's been a privilegerobbing with you.I'm coming with you.And don't tell methe Realm of Chaos is no place for a woman.I would never say that.Hey, sorry, boy.Not this time.Now, now, my pets.Is this any way to treat a guest?Okay, I'm severely creeped out.Bravo.No mortal has ever made itto Tartarus before.Alive, that is...Make yourself at home.Thank you. Uh...nice place you got here.Like it?I'm planning on doingthe whole world this way.Wow, that's a good plan.Well, I see you're busy,so listen, we'll just takethe Book of Peace and get of your way.What makes you think I have it?Uh, well, you framed me for the theft,so they would execute me.You?Yeah.No.Proteus!You knew he would take my place.What a clever little man you are.You thought I'd run.Then Proteus would die,and Syracuse would be...Left without the next rightful king,and tumble into glorious chaos.You humans are so predictable.Proteus couldn't help being ever so noble,and you couldn't help betraying him.But I didn't betray Proteus!I didn't run away.Oh, but you did betray him.You stole his only love.Look at her, Sinbad.He's not even in his grave yet,and you're moving in on his girl.Face it: Your heart is as black as mine.You're wrong about him!He knows I'm not!You don't know what's in his heart.Oh, yes, I do.And more importantly, so does he.In your heart, you know thatProteus is going to diebecause he saw something in youthat just isn't there.No.You want to bet?I'll tell you what.Let's play a game.And if you win, I'll give youthe Book of Peace.There it is, noble hero.Not so fast.My game has rules, Sinbad.I'll ask you a question.One simple question.If you answer truthfully,the Book is yours.- Give me your word.You still don't trust me?Uh... no.Isn't it a pitywe live in such skeptical times?Oh, all right.You have my word, as a goddess.Fair enough?Ask your question.Excellent.Now, we all know what happensif you get the Book of Peace.You return it to Syracuseand save Proteus.But if you don't get the Book,you have a choice to make.Either sail to paradisewith the woman of your dreams,or return to Syracuse to die.You're either a thief or a hero.So, here's my question, Sinbad.If you don't get the Book,will you go back to die?I will go back.You're lying.I'm sorry, Marina.Eris is right about me.No, she's not.You answered her question.You told the truth.It wasn't the truth.It was me trying to passmyself off as someone I'm not.Sinbad, I've seen who you are!You don't need to pretend!Eris trapped you!Why should you or Proteusor anyone have to die?!Marina...No! You need to escape.Get as far away as you can.I'll go back.I'll explain everything.No, Marina.I can't watch you die!I love you.But could you love a manwho would run away?I bet you thought I wouldn't make it.I was......beginning to wonder.The Book?I did my best.It wasn't enough.No.You came back anyway.How could I do anything else...my friend?Get back!How dare you?!Everything was going perfectly,and now you do this!Eris, I don't understand.Don't play coy with me.Maybe you can fool these people,but I know who you are.You're a selfish, unprincipled liar!Wait a minute.I didn't lie.I came back.That's why you're here.This was all part of your test.I told the truth.And wasn't there somethingabout being "bound for all eternity"?Well, well, well.This has got to be a littleembarrassing for you, Eris.Don't push your luck, Sinbad.You're cute, but not that cute.And lucky for you, I've got places to go,things to destroy, stuff to steal.Ta.You know, for what it's worth,I think the council believes you now.You think?King Dymas.How much you got on you?I offer you the gratitudeof the Twelve Cities,and the apology of a king.No, really. How much?Sinbad.Come on.This is going to be a heck of a party.Everyone's going to wantto hear about the voyage.Fair winds, calm seas.Nothing much to tell.What's the matter?No fun if you're actually invited?No, it's just, uh...there's a hammock in Fijiwith my name on it.Good sailing, Sinbad.Get a haircut.You're going to be king someday.Just anotheruneventful day in Syracuse.You know, I stood herewith a woman once.She looked over the oceanand wished she could sailbeyond the horizon.She saw... such wonder.And what happened to this woman?She got her chance.She sailed the seas,and she fell in love.Proteus, I...Marina, follow your heart.Mine is here in Syracuse.Yours...yours is sailing with the next tide.Oh, Proteus.Captain?We're ready to sail.All right, Kale.Take us out.Aye, aye, Captain.Cast off!Oh... Rat!What?Excuse me, Captain.You need to replacethese rig joints pretty soon.The mizzen ropes need the support.These joints were from the Jasmine Sea.That's halfway around the world.Then we'd better get started.Well, you know,that means going throughthe Hydra's lair.- The Minotaur's haven.- The Cyclops' den.- Under the Swansea Bridge.- Through the China Seas.That's a very long voyage.And it's very, very dangerous.Don't worry.I'll protect you.Oh, Spike.Spike.Spike... down.
