Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger Page #3

---

and you'll set a course for damnation!

Aboo-seer, Hassan, Bahadin.

Prepare the ship for sea.

Order your men

to bring treasure for Melanthius.

We sail for Casgar.

One thing I advise...

Set a careful watch on Zenobia.

I will have my men watch her castle

by day and by night.

Zabid will be in command.

He's the best soldier I have.

My son, Sinbad has agreed

to help them. We must act quickly.

He has taken them to the Isle of Casgar

to consult the great sage Melanthius.

- Is the heart ready?

- Yes.

You said no one can help Kassim.

Exquisite, my son.

If Melanthius truly lives,

he is the one person who could.

You promised me. I am to be caliph. You

swore Kassim would never inherit Charak!

- I shall prevent it.

- How?

Sinbad has a ship, a crew.

Balsora has the palace guards.

We shall have other forces

at our command.

More powerful than a palace guard

and a lovesick sea captain and his crew.

That... will be our army.

Quickly as you can.

We must be away before nightfall.

- Take that box in my cabin.

- Carefully, I implore you!

It's a baboon!

What a beautiful specimen.

Get back to work

or I'll make baboons of you!

Does he do any tricks, Princess?

There, there...

They mean no harm.

O brave and proud bull -

- whose mighty heart my son

has fashioned of purest gold.

Beat... with the power

as only I command you.

I made it perfect in every detail.

O mighty Abu Salem...

you who rule over a thousand devils, -

- by all the fires

of hell and darkness, -

- give strength and life

to this your creature.

Minaton... Minaton...

Perfect!

A colossus of bronze...

and mine to command.

- Hear anything?

- Nothing.

Keep awake! Orders are

to keep a watch on Zenobia's castle.

Or I'll slit your throat.

The wind is dying.

A baboon that can play chess?

Go away!

- He's frightened of you.

- I'm frightened of him.

He attacked me.

Baboons can turn savage, you know.

He is not savage!

I command you to go away.

Is he a gift for the wise man of Casgar

to play chess with?

Go away!

Hassan, get back to your work.

- But Captain, the beast was playing...

...chess, he has beaten me twice.

He is not really a baboon.

He was transformed by the black arts

of Queen Zenobia's witchcraft.

He is... Prince Kassim.

Can you be certain

that it is not the princess -

- who has been bewitched to believe

this animal is a prince?

He is my brother.

Look!

I am Kassim.

Now do you believe?

What is it?

What could it be?

A ship that moves without sails!

He seems to be rowing for six men.

Come on, let's try to get aboard.

Hurry, it's moving out to sea.

A fishing boat.

Spies of Balsora!

Minaton...

Wheel head into them.

It's Zenobia!
