Aladdin and the Death Lamp Page #2

then tell me what this means.

It's the dark arts, isn't it?

I know you still know them.

And I know you know

what this book is.

I don't practice them anymore.

The dark arts are history

and so is that book.

Leave it alone, Aladdin.

It may be history,

but it's my history.

Your history is here.

I have loved you as a son,

ever since they left you

on my doorstep.

And when Shifa and Luca

were abandoned,

I raised them

as my children too.

Which is why I am begging you,

forget about this book.

There are other treasures

to hunt.

A man with no treasure is poor

but he's still a man.

A man without a past is no man.

Aladdin,

some treasures are found

at too great a cost.

But at least they're found.

I'll do anything.

Take these talisman,

they have a special property.

This is what

you're going to do.

Aladdin, I'm going with you.

Stay with Khalil.

He needs you here.

Aah!

Hey, it's good. It's for me?

- No.

- Hey.

Start packing.

But it's my turn

and I'm down 40 coins.

Unless you'd like to play.

No, thanks.

Luca doesn't want to play?

- Why not?

- We'll play with anyone.

Even the grandson of a Roman.

My grandfather

is twice the man you are.

Then why did he allow himself

to be captured?

And made a slave?

I thought Roman soldiers

were bred to be brave.

That's enough.

Put your knives down,

both of you.

There's no time. We must leave

before the sun sets.

Save your fighting for later.

A great treasure awaits.

- Gold coins?

- Bigger.

- Silver chalice?

- The stones of Mustafa.

The fabled jewels

King Mustafa used

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,
