Sylvia wanted to keep listening to the story, but she recognized that everyone was getting tired. Her curiosity was piqued when she heard that the wizard was from another world! Could it be...Earth? She then shook her head and reasoned that if two worlds existed, Earth and Keratia, then who's to say that more worlds, worlds that also included magic, existed? The wizard was probably from another world that had magic. Earth wasn't such a place...was it?

Soon everyone is turning in to go to sleep. She started to unroll her own bedroll as Pylia helped Andrews and Elena to their bedrolls. She nodded to Muriel in response to her comment about how she was going to go to bed soon.

Then Pylia asked about her story. She answered Pylia, nodding, "Sure! A Thousand and One Nights..." She didn't mind telling Pylia the story, and she can tell Shortfang and Buddy the story again tomorrow. She started by introducing the story, "This is just one of the stories I know, and even so, this story is a huge compilation of smaller stories. They're considered folk tales for a desert region back home. The title, 'A Thousand and One Nights', refers to the fact that it took the protagonist and narrator one thousand and one nights to tell these stories," She then began the story,

"A long time ago, there was once a King and he had married a beautiful woman. However, at some point during their marriage, the King found that his wife was unfaithful to him. Upset and driven somewhat mad by this betrayal, he had the both of them executed. From then on, every time he took a new wife, he made sure to have her killed the next day, so as to ensure that she would never get the chance to be unfaithful to him. 

Of course, this meant that many lives were lost. And this brings us to our protagonist, Scheherazade. Scheherazade was a noble woman, who was just as intelligent and well spoken as she was beautiful. She heard about the King's actions, and she came up with a plan to stop it. She volunteered to become the King's next wife. So she married the King, but at night, Scheherazade would tell the King many stories,"

Sylvia scratched her cheek, knowing that she should keep this short so the both of them could get some rest. She continued, "One of these many stories was the story of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, the story where that phrase came from. It was a story of how a woodcutter learned of the phrase by accident, and used the opening phrase, 'Open Sesame' and the closing phrase 'Close Sesame' to become rich. Of course, taking from thieves has its own consequences. When the thieves learned about him and the fact that he knew their secret and stole their treasure, they sought to kill him. It was thanks to a girl named Morgiana that the Thieves' plans were foiled, and Ali Baba rewarded her for her help," 

She then finished, "Now Scheherazade was clever enough to cut the story in the middle every time dawn would arise so that the King would keep her alive and have her continue her stories for the next night. This continued, and after a thousand and one nights, she told all of the stories she could tell. During those nights, the King truly fell in love with her, and after she was finished, the both of them lived happily ever after,"
