Wishmaster Page #4

Synopsis: In the beginning of the times, God created life into universe: light gave birth to angels, earth to men and fire to djin, creatures condemned to dwell in the void between the worlds. One who wakes a djin shall be given three wishes. Upon granting the third, an unholy legion of djins are freed through a doorway between the worlds upon the Earth. In 1127 A.D., in Persia, a sorcerer lures and traps a powerful Djinn in the stone of secret fire. In the present days, a drunken crane operator drops the valuable statue of Ahura Mazda over the assistant of Raymond Beaumont on the harbor, and one worker finds the huge and priceless opal red stone where Djin is seized. Alexandra Amberson, who works in an auction house, receives the stone for evaluation and accidentally awakes Djin. The evil creature is released later, charges the stone with people souls and feeds with their fears, while chasing Alexandra to force to make three wishes and unleash the demoniac fiends upon Earth.

We are talking about Ed Finney,

your assistant, right?

Oh yes.

Yes of course.

Well, if you are not too

broken up about him,

I'd like to ask you a few questions

about the sculpture.

Anything you wish.

Well, the newspapers seem more concerned

with the details of the accident

than a crane operator and such.

- That drunken swine.

and less concerned about

the details of the statue itself.

Was it bejeweled?

No.

No, undecorated.

A likeness of Ahura Mazda.

One of the few to have been made

after the Islamic conversion.

I tell you what. Here uh...

Let me show you something.

You'll be interested in this,

I think.

Any new treasures at the auction house?

Geez!

A**hole!

Gotcha.

Wow.

My room of t Lost Gods.

Once worshipped, now...

...forgotten.

Every culture of ancient history.

See that?

Down there.

That was the space reserved

for Ahura Mazda.

Yes, what exactly is Ahura Mazda?

It's the objects I collect. Alex.

It's not theologies they represent.

But for what it's worth,

he was a monotheistic diety

So he was a god of good then.

Certainly.

Interestingly though, legend has

it that, uh, the opposing force

if you will, is actually his own shadows.

So, in a way, he himself was

the source of evil.

There's someone at the University

I'd like to put you onto.

A very smart woman. She has done some

catalog descriptions for me in the past.

She could be of some help.

Provided you catch her in a good mood.

Hey. Who's the teacher's pet, huh?

Why the hell are you working

in the dark man?

Wait a minute. Who are you?

What the f***?

Oh my g...

Am I to understand this is not

something you wish to see?

Uh huh.

Very well.

My eyes!

My eyes!

Oh my god.

I can't see.

I can't see.

You bastard!

My eyes!

My eyes.

Alex.

Alex!

Alex! Raymond! What's the matter?

Sorry.

I don't know what happened.

You fainted.

Can I get you a drink or something?

Some water?

No.

No. I'm fine.

I guess I'm just under a lot of stress,

but I'm fine. Honestly.

Honestly?

I hope you'll be well enough

to attend my party.

What it was, to celebrate my acquisition.

Your boss, Mr. Merritt

received the invitations.

You and your charming sister

should be most welcome.

Well thank you. I'd like to,

but I think I may be busy.

...little more...

Little more.

Hold on.

- Ah. Back two feet.

- Okay professor.

Good. Good.

That's good.

I told the Dean's office that the

paperwork would be there tomorrow.

I'm Busy.

Okay. Good.

I think you are mistaking

me for someone else.

I'm Alex. Raymond Beaumont must

have called you, about me?

Oh yeah. What an insufferable prick that man is.

Still, it's not your problem.

Unless, of course, you're
