Chapter One
Ah, would you look at that, Iago, Cassim said, gazing at the darkening horizon. First desert rain Ive seen in a long time.
The bird fidgeted nervously. I hate rain.
What? Why? Cassim grinned widely at the remark, amused.
Iago grimaced, looking somewhat ugly as he thought back on his past. I had to create a storm so Jafar could find Aladdin.
So?
I got struck by lightning, you jerk! he squawked loudly, filling the desert with his brash, unfriendly voice.
To which Cassim responded -
In choking laughter.

Dusk had finally become night as Cassim moved slowly, stealthily into the city. Ive never heard of a city that only shows when it rains, he said.
Yeah, but the city on the back of a giant turtle, thats realistic, Iago deadpanned.
Cassim smirked at the birds sarcasm.
Cassim, do you only find places that just frequently appear and disappear?
Well, Iago, he said, turning a corner and dismounting his horse to quiet down. Thats usually where the most valuable treasure is to be found.
Yeah, I guess. I really dont want to be here,

Chapter Three
Despite the beating he was getting, Mozenrath couldnt take his focus off the flash of blue cloak, that is, until it disappeared. Suddenly, the guard yelled out as a pair of golden boots were brought down upon his skull. Those boots were obviously attached to the feet of the blue-cloaked man. He landed with an unknown grace, and Mozenrath took the opportunity to slam his bound wrists into the guards chin, knocking him back.
The world began to move at a much faster pace. As soon as the guard had backed away, the blue-cloaked man swiftly pulled a dagger from said cloak and relinquished Mozenrath of his restraints. F
Chapter Four
He awoke suddenly with a start. A freezing splash of water had been thrown on him, and he bolted upwards, his body not used to the shock.
Allah! he hissed, somewhat annoyed at the very rude awakening.
He glanced around with wild eyes, only for them to focus on two children, looking very surprised and very afraid. There was a girl who looked about twelve years old, and a boy who appeared to be seven or eight years old. Fatigue setting back over him, he blinked heavily, leaning back on one hand.
Who are you? he asked.
My names Adalia, said the little girl, And this is Rashid
Chapter Five
I told ya, Cassim - the kids no good. But nooooo, lets save him! ya say! He needs help! ya say!
Iago, shush. He didnt take anything, Cassim said rather flatly, staring at the empty spot where the sorcerer once lay. In fact, hes lucky if hes still alive out there in the desert without water. I I cant believe he slipped away without me knowing!
Trust me, Cassim, if theres anyone sneakier than you, its Aladdin, and if theres anyone sneakier than him, its Mozenrath.

Chapter Six
(Authors Note: Important! This chapter takes place mostly in Mozenraths head. I didnt italicize all of it just so its easier to read. Thanks.)
Aladdin had made off with his gauntlet and left him floating away in a cage. Needless to say, it angered him to no end.
Even worse, he had no real hopes of getting it back.
When he finally managed to drag himself back to the Land of Black Sand, he could feel himself wearing down fast.
I probably couldnt even make it to Agrabah, he had thought bitterly. Im wasting away so fast
As the weeks drew on, he could feel himself growing weaker and weaker.

Chapter Seven
He opened his eyes rather quickly, almost as if breaking the surface of water. His sleep felt interrupted, perhaps by the very mind that had lulled off. He couldnt remember nodding off. Perhaps the exhaustion had been stronger than he could comprehend. He sat up, realizing he had hardly moved in his snoozing, and that he had slept a good long while. His hand crept to his forehead, the cold flesh feeling strange against it. He hadnt remembered how hed been caught in much detail, and he felt rather overwhelmed in seeing it all at once.
They took advantage of my weakness to capture me, he murmured.

Chapter Eight
Mozenrath turned quickly and ran. He was fairly sure running would do him no good, but it would at least buy him a little time. Not that there was too much time to think. He skidded around a corner and dashed into an alleyway. How do I know this place? He shook his head. There was no time to be questioning how he knew where he was going, just on how to get away from the trailing figure behind him.
Suddenly, a hand jolted from the ground and clapped around his ankle. Mozenrath let out a sound somewhere between a gasp and a wail as he was yanked off of his feet and head first into the sand. His dark eyes slid violently in th

Chapter Nine
The Palace was as mystifying and beautiful as he remembered. But as he made his way through the gigantic, stone walls, he felt as if they were baring down on him, creating a claustrophobic, prison-like atmosphere.
This, of course, could have been prevented if he hadnt been tied up and dragged alongside his rival. He cursed his reflexes - they had been seriously tarnished in his time of imprisonment. In fact, the mere idea that he could possibly imprisoned again was making him jittery and irritated. He jerked against the ropes.
There was no reason to tie me up! he growled. I wasnt not being violent.

S-son?! Youre lying, old man!
Im not an old man, and Im not lying.
Well, he certainly looked like Aladdin, especially with that frustrated look in his eye. And it explained why Iago was hanging around him, sort of but
If youre his father, why did he have you thrown in the dungeon?
Cassim smiled a bit, a twinkle in his eye that he never recognized in Aladdin. Was that mischief? He didnt. The guards caught me outside the gates. I suppose I wasnt being very sneaky considering Im the King of Thieves.
