Aladdin and the Death Lamp Page #3

---

I thought

they had been successful

until you showed me this book.

And if one of them is free,

you can be sure

it will try

to free its brothers.

This is all my fault.

If it weren't for me,

we wouldn't be in this mess.

- Luca.

- No.

If I hadn't owed Shahira,

he wouldn't have the lamp.

Luca.

Let him go.

Good to see you again, Luca.

You don't know what you have.

I have everything.

Everything I want.

Where are your friends going?

Shahira, listen to me.

What are they up to?

You think you can control it,

but you can't.

You can't control it.

Watch me.

Jinn, I wish you to kill him.

No, no.

- Kill him now!

- No!

Kill him now!

Why is he leaving?

It's a sun creature, Shahira,

it lives by the sun.

Well, I don't. Mark my word.

I'll slit you head to toe

if you don't tell me

where your friends are going.

And then

I'll kill your friends, Luca.

Shifa. Aladdin. Khalil.

I'll slaughter them like pigs.

The ring.

They're after the ring.

What ring?

If you have the lamp

and the ring,

you can control the Jinn.

You can get it back

into the lamp.

Without it, you have nothing.

The Jinn is granting wishes

because it wants the ring,

or it wants to suck on a soul.

It feeds on souls, Shahira.

It won't have

any trouble eating yours.

If that's true,

why didn't it suck your soul?

Because I had the mark.

- It is in my blood.

- You're lying.

It is in my blood.

You know as well as I

that our fathers

banished the Jinns,

they closed the portal.

And we are the only ones

who can open it.

The Jinn knows this.

You're lying.

You wished it to kill me,

didn't you?

Well, here I am.

If your friends get the ring,

it will banish

the Jinns forever.

But if I have the ring,

I can open the portal

and control a thousand Jinns.

Shahira,

the Jinn is using you.

Get me the ring, Luca,

or I will kill you all.

I will filet you like fish.

And you know I will. Now, go.

Luca.

Remember, I'm watching you.

Then we must find it

and banish the Jinn

back into the lamp.

That is not as easy

as it sounds.

The ring vanished

with your parents.

Well, what does the book say?

According to the book,

Varvak is the resting place

of the ring.

Varvak?

The island?

That place is cursed.

And now you know why.

Shahira must know

the legend of the Jinn.

Or he'd never have followed you.

He can't be far behind.

We must find this ring

before he does

and banish this creature

back into hell

before it frees the others.

Come on, the night is young.

Let's move while we still can.

This island is no different

than any other island.

I am sure the creature

will follow us here,

if it hasn't already.

If a Jinn can be injured,

can it be killed?

It's not really alive,

not in the sense

you and I know.

So it can't be killed.

Any injury you inflict

will be healed by the sun.

Harm it

and you may buy some time,

but nothing more.

My arms are killing me

from the rope.

Stop your complaining.

They feel

like they're going to fall off.

Well, maybe

I should cut them off

and put you out of your misery.

I'm too old for this.

You hear me?

I'm getting older

with each passing step.

They can't be far.

Come, let's go.

There is the boat. There.

Oh! They've landed

on the other side of the island.

Let's go.

A warning.

The Jinn can see

into your hearts.

It will lull you and tempt you

into wishing for something.

Do not give in to this demon.

It will

have terrible consequences.

Khalil, look.

"The last bed of man

holds the key.

It is seen through the proof

of the bravery of the bravest. "

What does that mean?

The last bed of man.

Is there a cemetery on Varvak?

If you're looking for proof

of bravery of the bravest,

it's a good place to start.

You're one to speak

of bravery, huh, Luca?

Shahira can vouch

for yours.

Let's not argue.

Let's look for the cemetery.

We've lost them.

Go scout around.

Don't come back

until you pick up their trail.

What are you waiting for?

Get moving.

You stay with me,

in case I need protection.

He stuffs his fat face

while we do the work.

He's the master.

Just because he has more money,

he's no smarter

or stronger than we.

- That's the way of the world.

- Way of the world.

Oh, my God. I am exhausted.

- Sit, sit. Just for a moment.

- No.

I go this way, you go that way.

This way, that way.

Everybody gives me orders.

Just a few moments.

I wish I could

lie here forever.

No. No.

- Heavy?

- Very.

Perhaps I can help.

I'm just too old to be running

around the countryside.

Unless, Khalil,

you have a fountain of youth

on you?

I'm afraid

that's a little beyond my magic.

- Give me one of these.

- Ah, many thanks.

But I wish

I were as light and strong

as when I was a boy. Ah. Ah.

Don't rest too long

or you'll never catch up.

Don't worry, I don't want

to be stuck out here all alone.

Babak!

No! No!

Get away.

I know about you,

and that trick.

Khalil warned us.

You want to trick me?

I wish I were young

and strong.

Babak!

Hadar!

What's taking them so long?

They're not worth waiting for.

Wait.

Abdullah!

He's probably sleeping.

You should never have left him.

Ugh. I'll go get him.

Here I am.

Here, let me take those for you,

old man.

Well, what are we waiting for?

Haven't you rested long enough?

Abdullah,

what happened to you?

I'm afraid Khalil gave us

some very bad advice.

Your hair is black as coal.

It's all a question

of phrasing your wish correctly.

Your wish.

You met a Jinn.

- Yes.

- No.

And he gave me my wish.

So there have been wishes

in the past that didn't work.

Blame the stupid masters,

not the Jinn.

They were brought here

to serve.

What did you wish for?

Look at me.

Idiot.

What exactly did you wish for?

I wished to be young.

And strong.

It seems to have come true.

And to be 30 pounds lighter.

What is it?

Damn you!

I'll imprison you once again.

I swear it!

Time to go.

The cemetery.

Now what?

Looks can be deceiving.

Khalil, what do we do now?

"The seeker

shall be guided by fire. "

There's no fire here.

The proof

of the bravery of the bravest

is supposed to guide us

by fire.

What does that mean?

We're looking

for proof of bravery?

One thing leads to another.

Yeah,

maybe it doesn't.

Why all these puzzles?

I would think the harder it is

to find the ring,

the harder it is

to gain control of the Jinn.

The final resting place

of Prince Jareb.

- Who is that?

- A prince of the realm.

Whatever it is

we're looking for,

we'll find it inside.

There's nothing written on it.

Well, what do we do now?

It bears Shifa's fire sign.

Khalil, can you read it?

"The temple of Maghreb

bears the wrath of damnation. "

What does that mean?

It's showing us the way

from this world into hell.

And back again.

That bears the mark.

I see it now.

The Jinn allowed us

to follow these clues.

So that we would find

the door to hell.

So that will release the Jinns

that were banished there.
