This story comes from a land, a faraway place, where caravan camels roam.
Where they cut off your ear if they don't like your face. Where it's flat and immense, and the heat to some is intense. Some might say 'That's barbaric' But others call it 'home'.
As the winds blew sand across the desert from the east, and the sun sat in the west, an elderly merchant riding on top of a camel made his way into town of the city.
He passed a few people who were packing up for the night, and others practicing their acts of fire-breathing to earn money tomorrow.
As the man came to a stop in the middle of the market place, mostly because his camel was exhausted, he spotted you.
"Ah, Salaam and good evening to you my dear young friends," he said smiling a friendly smile "Please do come closer so I do not have to stretch my voice," he said "Being 186 years old, my voice is not what it used to be.
"That's better. Welcome to Agrabah. The city in the desert full of mystery... enchantment... And Master Fu's all you could ever need market stall full of the finest merchandise this side of the Nile River, on sale today! Come on down..." the man said unloading his camel and setting up his stand.
"Look at this," the man said taking what looked like a vase off the shelf behind him "Look at the wonderful and lovely detail on this antic vase, they don't make them like this anymore. Vases as old as this are known to break if you handle them too hard," he said placing the vase onto the table, breaking it.
Coughing Master Fu cleared away the now broken vase and brought out something else.
"Ah now look at this," he said showing you a puzzle box "This is a very rare 'Box of Puzzles.' They say the puzzles are so difficult only a true master of wisdom can open it, watch," he said showing you how to undo it, but he couldn't.
Starting to get bored of this man and his useless junk you turn to leave.
"Wait don't go!" Master Fu said putting the box down and stopping you "I can see you my friend are only interested in the exceptionally rare..." he said looking around to see if anyone was watching.
"I think then you shall be most rewarded as to consider this..." he said bulling out an old oil lamp out from behind the stall.
"Do not be fooled by it most common place appearance..." he said in a whisper "Like so many things and people, it is not what is outside... But what is inside that counts..." he said bringing it to him and looking inside through the lid.
Not believing him, and having enough you try to leave again.
"This is no ordinary lamp!" Master Fu said running after you and stopping you again "It once changed the course of a young man's life. A young man who like this lamp, was more than what he seemed..." he said looking around "A diamond in the rough... Perhaps you would like to hear the tale?" he asked smiling, somehow pouring some sparkling dust out of the lamp into his hand and throwing it into the sky.
"It begins on a dark night... Where a dark man waits... With a dark purpose..."
AN: As I hope some of you can guess this is going to be a crossover with Disney's 'Aladdin' (So sorry for how much alike it is to it)
So just a few questions...
Should I have the Princess mother in this story?
And should I add the songs?
(Might turn into the 'Crossover' list later)
