Chapter 4

Elsewhere, in the city of Agrabah there was a quiet activity. The hustle and bustle of the past few weeks has subsided. Jasmine's and Aladdin's wedding was over. But Razoul was still beside himself. The Sultan had still not found time to condemn his prisoners. Why is this Aladdin more and more important? Razoul went to the Sultan. He bowed to him. "Your majesty it is time that you condemn my prisoners. The prison is way too crowded to get any more prisoners. "The Sultan nodded thoughtfully. "Yes Razoul, you're right, but as I heard, some forty robbers are still running around. Catch the rest of the robbers and I then condemn them all together, then the forty robbers are definitely history. "Razoul smiled, that was better than imagined. "Very well your Majesty. I will call my guards and we will attack today. They can only hide in their cave. "Without hesitation, Razul set off. Today is probably his lucky day.

A cackling waked me up out of my sleep. The cave was opened. This could only be Saluk. I looked carefully out of the tent. I heard shouting and the rattling of swords. No, that could not be Saluk, but who then? Cautiously I sneaked into the proximity of the noise. They were the guards of Agrabah. Razoul had probably not given up catching the rest of the thieves. As I could see it, the robbers were clearly in the bottom. Hakim and Akam was already tied up. What should I do? This is my chance to flee! But I stood here, behind the rocks, wondering how I could help them. I have to do it so the guards did not recognize me. At least I did not want to be labeled as a lawless woman. That would make my escape a lot more difficult. I searched the cave for a way to help the robbers without endangering myself. I discovered something useful, arrows and bow, which I immediately took to myself. So I climbed one of the old temple columns to shoot from there. I could see everything from there, perfect, and it did not look good for the robbers. After I clung the arrow in the bow rather clumsily, the arrow already fell to the ground, na that could be cheerful. I picked up the arrow again and sat down again. I tried to remember my classes in archery. I had been pretty good at the time, but I had not had a bow for a long time.

I had no intention of meeting someone, my pulse was racing with excitement, I breathed in and out to calm myself. Then I aimed, I shot my arrow just before the feet of a guard. He fell back in terror. I aimed the arrows just before the guards arrived. This caused them to be so frightened that the robbers had the surprise moment on their side. The chaos could also use them to free the already captured robbers. I had just changed my location, I jumped to another pillar and came to an unfinished site. There I noticed a wooden beam, which was held with only one rope. A targeted shot and the bar would roll down and put a large part of the guards out of action. I aimed and hit the rope immediately. As I had hoped, my plan started. By this blow the guards withdrew. They probably did not like it from the start, where the arrows came, and now a wooden beam. I was relieved, I had no more arrows. I settled down in the corner where I had finally crumbled.

I was ready and done. Where would all this end? In my thoughts so sunk, I did not notice the robbers came to me. I did not look up until I found myself surrounded, their eyes could not really be interpreted. I could not say for sure whether they were grateful to me or want to lock me. Before I could break my head, Shun stretched out his hand to help me get up on my legs again.
As, I now estimated the situation were all speechless. Sure, who is also expecting someone to help if he is to be sold as a slave. I reached for Shun's hand and he pulled me up. Without a word, they left, I followed. But only up to my sleeping place. Maybe they were thinking about slavery again. There was some hope in me.

I was not sitting in the tent for a long time, thinking about what had happened before someone came in. It was Shun. Without saying anything, he sat down to me. Then he asked me, "Why did you help us? It was your chance to flee! Your destiny as a slave to escape! "I tried Shun as good as I can to look in his eyes... It fluttered back into my stomach. "Well ... you helped me as well, when I lay unconscious in the desert." Despite my efforts I looked down. I'm so stupid, I should have cut off. Now I had to watch how I got away from here. I looked at Shun, who was still sitting next to me. I felt like he was looking at me. We sat there for a while until he got up and walked away.

For my part, I was still puzzling about what I should do now. My first escape I had screwed myself. I reached into my pocket and touched the medallion. A smile flitted over my face, there will certainly be other possibilities, I said to myself to courage me. Besides, it can not hurt to gain the confidence of the robbers.
With these thoughts I lay down and fell asleep.

Razoul raged with anger. Normally it would have been possible today to catch all the robbers. There were all the other robbers in the fight, but for some reason, there were a few others who were shooting arrows at his guards. Fortunately, no one was hurt, but that had irritated his men so much that they did not pay attention in the fight. Worse still, the already captured robbers could be freed thereby. But what made him mad at all was that in the absence that someone had actually managed to penetrate the palace prisoner here and free his prisoners.

According to the testimonies of the guards, only one man has taken them by surprise, someone with a weapon that look like a hit, only with three claws. He knew who it could be, but that was absolutely impossible. Saluk was dead, as Aladdin had said, there was no way to bring him back to life and yet the description was right down to the smallest detail. Razoul stroked his beard, what was happening? Even if it was to him again, he decided to teach Aladdin about this incident. Even if he did not like him, Aladdin always managed to find the solutions to such situations.
