Aladdin and the Death Lamp Page #2

to purchase

the kingdom from the gods.

But I thought

this was just a myth.

If you're not interested...

No, no, no, we're interested.

We are interested. Come on.

Luca, whatever the trouble

with Hassan,

- don't bring it on the trip.

- He thinks he's better than me.

That will never change.

- Where are we going?

- Mount Dinai.

Dinai?

Take days, in the worst country

in the world.

Afraid?

I'm not afraid of anything.

Then let's get started.

Keep your eyes open

for anything suspicious.

I don't wanna have come this far

to get our throats slit.

Abdel.

All there is here

is rocks.

We haven't seen

what's at the top yet.

According to the map,

the only way is up.

I hope they find those stones

before dark.

I don't relish having

to spend the night here.

Stop complaining.

Almost there.

What are we looking for?

I can't tell.

The map shows a river.

There must have been

one here long ago.

Ready?

What's taking them so long?

If it was anybody

but Aladdin,

I'd be afraid they took off

with the jewels and left us.

He's too honest.

Every cent he makes,

he squanders on that orphanage.

You were raised

in that orphanage too, Luca.

Meaning what?

Maybe you owe Khalil

something too?

Keep talking, Abdullah.

I'll cut that tongue

out of your throat.

Oh, really?

Not now, enough.

Enough.

We're going to find those jewels

and go our separate ways.

I'm tired of listening

to us fight.

All we ever do is fight.

When I get home,

I wish to find

a woman who never speaks

and makes love like an animal.

Spend the rest of my days

in her bed.

"The rage was buried

"in a watery grave.

No glint to be seen again. "

What does that mean?

Well, the river is long gone.

Whatever treasure

existed here

must have been buried

in the water.

What kind of treasure is rage?

We won't know

if we don't find it.

- You sure we want it?

- You sure you don't?

Where do we start digging?

A glint buried in the water.

Look out!

Get down.

Is that it?

Well, it belongs to us now.

Stay back.

What on earth...?

Come on. Aah!

What do you want?

Abdel.

- Aladdin came to see me today.

- I cannot control who he sees.

- Trying to sell me a book.

- He sells lots of things.

A very old book.

What is your business, Shahira?

You know what my business is.

And soon Aladdin

will know as well.

And your secret

is about to be revealed.

You know he won't give up

now that he knows

he's on to something. Ha, ha.

Like a dog to a bone, that one.

Let it lie, Shahira.

No good can come out

of the truth now.

I want that book, Khalil,

and no man or no magic

will stop me

from getting that book.

Help, Luca!

- Aladdin.

- Abdel is dead.

I unleashed some sort of demon

and it killed him.

I couldn't stop it

and I don't know where it is.

Demon? What do you mean?

- Where is Hassan?

- He went into the woods.

We have to find him.

No one should be alone

out there.

Whoa.

We go that way.

- Hassan?

- Hassan!

Where are you?

Hassan, stop fooling around.

Hassan!

Hassan!

- Hassan!

- Hassan!

Hassan!

Hassan!

What do you want from us?

No.

Let's go.

We gotta grab our stuff

and get out of here

before it kills anybody else.

Hurry.

Let's get going.

I wanna be far away from this

place before the sun sets.

Not so fast.

Packing so soon?

You must have...

You found it.

I've been searching for it

for so long.

And you come in

with this book,

leading me straight to it.

All I had to do was follow you.

Let you do all the work.

Ha-ha-ha.

Did you rub the lamp?

Have you? You fool!

You have, haven't you?

You've released the Jinn.

Still, not all is lost.

Give me the lamp.

Luca, bring me the lamp

and your debt is paid.

Have you changed your mind?

"I'll do what you want.

I'll do anything. "

Isn't that what you said?

You betrayed me.

He was going to kill me.

There was a knife at my throat.

I didn't have a choice.

You always have a choice.

Bring me the lamp.

Oh, Khalil.

Was this your doing?

It looked like you needed it.

I knew Shahira would follow you.

They robbed us.

- Of what?

- An old lamp I found.

Oh, by the gods.

I was looking

for the stones of Mustafa.

I should've told you

what the book was pointing to.

It didn't point to stones,

only a traitor.

- I didn't have a choice.

- He's right.

He didn't.

And neither did you.

I can see that now.

We're all fulfilling

our destinies.

What are you talking about?

What Luca did

was wrong,

but the trail

he left for Shahira

was how I was

able to find you.

So some good came out

of his treachery.

But I too am to blame.

I tried to protect you

from your past,

to shield you from the dangers

of your destiny.

What destiny?

I realize now it's impossible.

We must move

before Shahira's men return.

A little magic

won't keep them away for long.

Khalil will be protecting them.

He once practiced the dark arts.

We need to keep them close.

But for now, I have the lamp.

I want to see what it can do.

Jinn.

Jinn.

Wait.

I wish for my tent.

I wish for my pipe.

I wish for the finest wines.

Back off, it's mine.

Get me some wood for the fire.

And you, go get me Luca.

We're not safe whilst that thing

is still on the loose.

It's a Jinn.

They're sun demons.

When the sun fades from the sky,

their energies fade as well

and they vanish.

I thought Jinns were

supposed to grant wishes.

Bring their masters

wealth and power.

Years ago, sorcerers

used to summon Jinns

to be their servants.

But soon they learned

how dangerous that could be.

Surely, if they grant wishes,

then owning one

would be worth any difficulty.

They're powerful,

and it's too easy

to lose control over them.

If that happens, they can kill.

But even worse,

Jinns learned

they had free will,

so they began granting wishes

only to those whose greed

would cause their own demise.

So they could feed

on their souls.

In other words,

be careful what you wish for.

Very careful.

I've unleashed a great evil

into this world.

The book says something

about a ring of souls.

The only way to regain

control of the Jinns

is to have the lamp

and the ring of souls.

The lamp releases the Jinn

and the ring enslaves it.

A ring? Where is it?

You're still holding back

what you know, old man.

It's time for you to tell us.

Out with it.

I was apprentice

to the sorcerers

who banished the Jinn.

One was your father, Aladdin.

Another was Luca's father.

And the third, Shifa's father.

All who belonged to the sect

were given the mark

of the elements.

That's how

I was able to recognize you

when they left you

on the doorstep.

We are the only four left

of those that banished the Jinn.

The descendants of those

who were able to open the gates

and send them all to hell.

Your fathers worked

to banish the Jinn.

I wish you back into the lamp.

I was left in Vardana,

as I was only an apprentice,

not yet accomplished enough

to join in the fight.

They never returned

from the battle,

but neither did the Jinns.
