Recap:

"But it was dark and cold, and she came and told me how to save Aladdin and—"

"She told you how to save Aladdin?" Cassim asked genuinely. "Yes she did! I know how, I mean I think I do, you have to believe me!" she cried. Cassim looked a Genie, Abu and Iago.

"We believe you," he said softly. "You do?" Tali asked softly. Cassim nodded and hugged her. Tali hugged him back, feeling safe in his arms. "So, can you guide us to him then?" Cassim asked.

"You bet!" Tali said excitedly "Because I have faith, not just in myself, but in her, who has faith in me! Let's go!"

Chapter 15:

Tali and the others continued to ride through the desert. Iago flew up behind Tali and landed on her shoulder. "Uh, Tali, no offence to your "gift of sight" or anything, but we are kind of riding in circles in this desert, and…I'm hungry"said Iago.Tali giggled and pulled a red apple of her saddle bag.

"Here Iago, take this, and trust me we aren't riding in circles," Tali replied. Iago paid no attention to her and simply snatched the apple from her hand.

Oh my, Iago may have a point; everything looks the same around here! She thought Oh Farah, where am I supposed to go? Wait! "Until the hidden land is underneath the dust," I guess I'm supposed to find this hidden land place, but how…

Suddenly a voice echoed in her head. Close your eyes and let me guide you! Your minds eye will see it, just let me guide you! The voice said. "Farah!" she yelled out loud.

"Tali, why did you yell out 'Farah' for no reason?" asked her father. Tali halted Sadeek, "Dad, I know how to find them, you just have to trust me," she pleaded. Cassim looked down. "Alright," he said uneasily.

Aladdin remained trapped against the wall by Nadira's wind. Jasmine held on to him from inside the cell. "What do you mean, I'm the only one who can touch it?" he said, his voice coming out strained.

"I do wish you'd simply co-operate, but I see I am going to have to explain things to you, street rat!" he replied scornfully.

"Nadira mytigress, let him go, it's not as though he can attempt to leave" he ordered. Nadira drew back her wind, causing Aladdin to fall hard to the ground.

Mozenrath appeared behind Jafar. "I was wondering how long it would take you!" snarled Jafar, "Do you have it?" Mozenrath nodded, and handed a scroll to Jafar. "Excellent" murmured Jafar.

"Now then, where were we?" he muttered "Ah yes! You wanted to know why you're the only one who can touch it!" Aladdin nodded. "Well you insolent rat, this is the story your after!"

"My ancestor, the great sorcerer Wazir, created an amulet, an amulet that I want, he was quite foolish, and picked ahem, a 'diamond in the rough' to be the only to open to seize the amulet!" Jafar growled.

"I don't think you're telling me everything, and besides that, why would I want to help you!" Aladdin yelled.

"Believe me, Aladdin, you will want to help me, you will!" Jafar laughed back.

Tali closed her eyes. All she saw at first was black. Then an image started to appear. She saw the desert, exactly where they stood. It was so vivid, it was as if she hadn't closed her eyes at all. Ok Farah, I'm ready for your guidance.

Suddenly she felt a warm feeling spread inside her. "Guys," she yelled out, her eyes remaining shut, "I know where to go!" Tali nudged Sadeek and rode off.

"We're right behind you Tali!" yelled the others and as the followed behind her.

"Mozenrath! Open Jasmine's cell!" ordered Jafar. Mozenrath unlocked the cell abruptly. Jasmine bolted out and ran straight to Aladdin. Aladdin wrapped his arms around her, gently stroking her shaking shoulders.

"Mozenrath, did you hear that, the street rat doesn't think I've told him the whole story? Oh, I suppose we must resolve that" he repliedwith grim pleasure.

"Get away from us!" yelled Aladdin. He wanted to kill Jafar, there and then, but he knew it was impossible, Jafar was a genie.

"Well, Aladdin, do you want to know why I know you will do as I say and fetch the amulet?" he said, his lips curling into a disturbing smile. "I won't fetch any damn amulet!" Aladdin shouted back.

"I beg to differ! You see, in a moment I will do something that will guarantee that you will get me that amulet" said Jafar. Aladdin gritted his teeth.

"Mozenrath! NOW!" yelled Jafar. Mozenrath took the scroll from Jafar and read aloud from it.

"Combine the chosen souls! One is the commander, the other is the slave!" Mozenrath recited continuously.

Immediately, Jasmine felt a rush burn through her body, causing her to fall limply to the floor. "Jasmine!" Aladdin yelled as he bent over his fallen wife.

"Combine the chosen souls! One is the commander the other is the slave!"

Jasmine closed her eyes. It felt as though every ounce of strength was being drained from her body. "Aladdin!" she gasped, clinging to his arm. "Jasmine, what's happening!" he yelled in alarm as Jasmine appeared more powerless every second.

"Combine the chosen souls! One is the commander the other is the slave!"

Jafar stood there, feeling a surge of energy enter his body and mind. He laughed wickedly, knowing what was going to happen.

Jasmine now lay there, unconscious. "J-Jasmine!" Aladdin gasped, then stood up and turned to Jafar "What have you done to her?" he yelled aggressively.

Jafar threw his head back and laughed in return.

Tali's eyes remained closed as she galloped along, the desert racing through her mind. I can feel it, we're getting closer! She thought. Cassim and the others followed.

On Carpet, Abu held his tail tightly, the way he did whenever he was afraid. "Abu! Why do you have to be so­­…" Iago paused "Oh boy, I'm running out of insults for your silliness!" Iago looked at Abu's truly frightened face.

He felt himself soften "Oh boy," he grunted "Listen monkey, we will find Al and Jas, everything will be alright! We'll go back to the palace and…"Iago stopped. "Oh come here you chimp!" he said tearfully, hugging Abu as hard as he could.

Iago flew over to Cassim. "Umm Cassim," he said in a low whisper "Are you sure, letting Tali gallop us around blindly, that it'sa wise thing to do?" Cassim looked down at the reins in his hands.

"Iago, I know this isn't exactly, well, how one would normally do things, but we have no other choice, so I am willing to see what she does," he answered. "Ok boss!" Iago said as he flew back to the others on Carpet.

Tali heard the others; she knew they'd be sceptical. After all, I can hardly believe it myself! She thought. Suddenly, she felt a strange feeling enter her body. I can feel it! It's just a bit further! She thought. "Guys! I can feel it, it's just a bit further!" she yelled excitedly.

She gave Sadeek a kick, and that spurred him ahead. The others followed. Just a little bit further…she thought we're here! "Guys, stop, we're here!" she yelled out.

Her eyes were still closed. But she saw it, the city. Every stunning monument and structure was visible to her. Tali slowly opened her eyes, scared that if she did, the image would go away, but it didn't. It was there in plain sight, right in front of her.

"Guys look! We're here!" Tali announced triumphantly. Everyone halted behind her. Cassim dismounted his horse and walked up to his daughter. "Daughter, are your eyes open? Because there is nothing here!" said Cassim.

Tali turned to him "What do you mean Dad? It's right here in front of us!" she said excitedly, pointing to what appeared to her like a small city. Cassim stood there, raising his eyebrows.

Tali looked behind her, to see the other's reactions. Genie, Abu, Iago and Carpet seemed to agree with her father.

"Why can't you guys see it? It's right there" she said exasperatedly. Cassim looked down "Tali! Enough, there is nothing there and there never was!" he said sternly.

Tali felt her lip quiver. Wait a minute thought Tali "You are given the gift of sight,For what others cannot see" that's what Farah said! I guess this is my path now.

"Dad, There is reason you guys can't see the city, but believe me it's there," she said quietly. "What do you mean Tali?" asked Cassim. "Farah, told me that only I would be able to see it, I guess it's up to me now" she explained.

She dismounted Sadeek, and handed the reins to her father. "Wait here Dad," she turned to the others "You guys too, I don't know how long it will take, but it's up to me now,"

Cassim felt a tear escape him. He hugged Tali tightly "Daughter, I have faith in you, so go! Rescue your brother and Jasmine!" he said encouragingly. Tali smiled, trying her hardest not to cry.

She let go of her father and walked straight ahead towards the city. "Ok guys, I'm going in!" she said bravely.
