I'm Insane! With a capital I! Since I usually write stories in Harry Potter, Avatar, and Danny Phantom, why am I writing a story in Aladdin!
Because I'm almost as insane as most of my friends (Actually my sister 'evil mouse 1' is weird but that's a complement) (And actually My friend Reba is weird and insane) (Well I guess that would make me weird too 'but I'm free!') So where did I get the idea to write a story about Aladdin?
Because I got inspiration from El Dorado (that my friend Gazera and I watched in Social Studies) (And yes I know you know Gaz but other readers might not know that! Did you ever consider that!), Prince of Egypt, Joseph King of Dreams, and my grandmother's spooky huge and smelly house (And, no that is not a movie) I watched all the videos and all of the Aladdin movies twice at Grand's house. So this might seem to be a mix between Joseph King of Dreams, Prince of Egypt, and Aladdin. But I "Barrowed" the sward fight from El Dorado.
So I guess that covers all of the disclaimers so those who actually care can go ahead and read. And those who don't care can go to and type in Egyptology, then click on the fifth result that comes up and read all about the topic! I am so fascinated by the Egypt Not their Gods because I'm Christian but their customs fascinate, bore and amuse me so.
Here's the story folks!
Aladdin
And the Princess of Egypt
(Made you look!)
"I will cut you to ribbons!" said an Egyptian boy with brown skinn wearing a white kalasiris tied at the waist with a blue sash gold necklace with a blue jam in the middle of it, no shirt, sandals, gold bracelets and his hair was shaved except for one patch by his right ear that was black and tied into a ponytail.
"Such mediocrity let your sward do the talking," said an Arabian girl with light brown skin, long black hair tied into one loose ponytail tied with two bands (one yellow band tied near the shoulder and another near the waist. (It looked like Jasmines but was cut off so it wouldn't curl.) Sandals, a loose white dress with a yellow rims, and tied with a yellow sash.
"I will and it will be loquacious to a thought," replied the Egyptian boy jumping onto a table and striking out with his curved sword towards the girl who blocked it from hitting her right arm (She was left handed).
The epic battle was held in the street of the Egyptian Empire with white marble buildings, narrow, even stone streets, and a history of everything with monuments and beautiful hieroglyphs. All the people from the houses were watching from a distance amused by the sword fight.
"Ha, you mincing, prancing, twit" said the Egyptian boy jumping to the next table and the next almost toppling them over.
"Oh look who's talking!" said the Asian girl trying to take a swing at the boys left ear which he blocked (he was right handed.)
"Ha! You fight like my sister!" said the boy jumping off the table.
"I fought your sister, that's a complement," said the girl lunging at him with the sward.
He ducked and rolled around her and was behind her about to swing his sward at her when she ducked and swung her foot around and tripped him.
He fell on the ground and she grabbed his sword faster that you could say 'Nile'.
She held the swords at his neck.
"Ha! Ha!" the boy laughed and the girl took her swords away from his neck and laughed too.
"You finally beet me," said the Egyptian boy said to the Asian girl.
"Yes, and I bet I can beat you at Senet," said the boy sneering but still smiling.
"Oh you wish Prince Sethos," said the Asian girl to the Egyptian boy who was prince Sethos. The pharaoh's second born (his first born named Nefertari was the sister that the Asian girl fought.) "Senet is my game."
"And sword play is mine, but it seems someone has stolen it so I'll just have to steel yours, Leila" said prince Sethos to the Asian girl named Leila.
"If you can steal it," scoffed Leila."
"We'll see," said prince Sethos bringing out the Senet board and pieces and setting it up.
"Very well, but I call the spools," said Leila sitting down in the chair opposite of prince Sethos. "Will you be going first or should I."
"I will" said prince Sethos picking up the die and rolling it: 3.
"Oh, too bad prince you need a five or a six to put a piece in play" Leila rolled: 5. "Like that."
Prince Sethos pouted as he rolled: 6. "Ha!"
"Not bad," said Leila, she rolled: 2.
Leila pouted because she didn't get as many as she wanted, as prince Sethos who was chuckling rolled: 1.
This switched their pieces because Leila's piece was just in front of his. "Yes!" shouted prince Sethos pumping his fist in the air.
"Oh please I'm just one square behind you," said Leila rolling her eyes as she rolled: 6. "Ha! Ha!"
Prince Sethos sank down and pouted as he rolled: 4.
"Well at least you're where you usually are behind me," said Leila.
"Oh not for long," said prince Sethos as Leila rolled: 2.
"Not bad, not bad" said prince Sethos rolling: 2
"Not bad," said Leila rolling: 3.
"Ha! Ha! You fell on the house of water; you have to go back to house of rebirth," said prince Sethos laughing.
Leila sulked as she moved her piece back to the house of rebirth as prince Sethos rolled: 5.
"Ha!" you're stuck on the house of three truths! Now you can't get off until you roll a three," said Leila taking the die and rolling: 6 "Ha!"
"Well I'm still way ahead of you and besides if I get a three then I get one piece down" said prince Sethos.
"And the odds of that are like what one to six," said Leila.
"So it could happen," said prince Sethos rolling:
--a--a--a
I know Senet didn't make sense to you but hey almost no one knows how! So here's how you play: the simple version.
There are squares lined up like so in numbers.
12345678910
20191817161514131415
21222324252627282930
There are ten pieces; five spools and five cones. You line the pieces up on the squares 1-10 every other square.
It's a basic game you roll a die (the singular form of dice) and to start a piece you must roll a four or a six. If you get a four or a six then you go forward the spaces that you rolled. Then you roll the die racing the other player to the finish (square 30)
Or you can fall on the 26th space and that automatically finishes that piece.
The space 'the house of rebirth' (space 15) is the starter if you fall on space 27 'the house of water' you go back to 'the house of rebirth'.
If you fall on space 28 'the house of three truths' you have to roll a three to get off it.
If you fall on space 29 'The house of re-atoun' you have to roll a two to get off.
Once you get one piece off you have to roll a four or a six to put another piece in play. The first one to get all of their pieces off the board win!
So now you know how to play Senet!
--a--a--a
"So It could happen," said prince Sethos rolling: 3 "Ha! I'm wining!"
"Not for long!" said Leila taking up the die ready to roll it when some rude person kicks over the board and the table.
"Hey!" said Sethos "we where playing!"
"Oh you were" said the dark brown Egyptian boy who was bald, wore a linen cloth around his waist, and wore sandals and that was about it. "Well I don't see how you and your slave girl can be sword fighting, and play Senet while tossing back and forth threats. She is after all a slave."
You're no more a slave than she is," said Sethos. "So how do you tell me what I can and can not do?"
"Well I can't but pharaoh can," said the boy "and I believe he's your father. So expect harsh punishment for speaking and playing with a dirty stupid slave like an equal."
At this Leila stood up red in the face and raised her hand about to slap him when prince Sethos grabbed her wrist to stop her.
"And Imagine what pharaoh would say when he found out that his son was being threatened by a lowlife, eh Zuka?" said prince Sethos.
The boy named Zuka looked as if he was about to explode he turned on his heel and stormed off in frustration.
"Well since our game of Senet was canceled," said Leila, "how about we call it a draw."
"No way I'm wining, so I won," said prince Sethos stubbornly.
"Oh fine," said Leila "what does it matter anyway I can still beet you in sword play."
Prince Sethos scoffed "no you can't, it's still my game."
"And Senet is still my game," said Leila.
"And I wouldn't have it any other way," said prince Sethos.
"Have you noticed that there are some shady characters on this street?" asked Leila after looking around and feeling a chill run down her spine.
"And where are all the other people that usually crowd this street?" said prince Sethos picking up his sword and holding it at waist height. Leila also picked up her sword and followed the suit.
"Who are you," said Sethos in a booming demanding deep voice. "And why are you here."
One shadow stepped forward into the light to show he was wearing a dark blue cloak that covered most of his face except the eyes.
He said in a deeper and more demanding voice "we are the Forty Thieves! And we are here to do what thieves do!"
Just then the shadows moved into the light or went into the houses taking and stealing what they could find. About seven of the thieves surrounded Leila and prince Sethos with their swords held up to their faces. Prince Sethos and Leila also raised their swords and both stabbed at their opponents as one. Prince Sethos was dogging four swords and trying to fend them off at the same time. Leila was faced with the blue cloaked man that was quite skilled in swordsmanship and two other thugs that were as big as they were stupid in vice versa. She took out the two thugs first with one swing each. There was now a patch of red dead center on their foreheads.
Prince Sethos had taken out three of the men he was fighting with a swing at their heels. Now he was fighting one that was so ugly that you could hardly describe him/her.
Leila was holding up rather well but was distracted by the parrot on her opponent's shoulder that kept shouting out rude comments.
"No girly can sword fight you know, and you can't even hit this guy he's the king of thieves," said the parrot in Arabic.
"Well your majesty," replied Leila in Arabic "you miscalculated there are only thirty nine."
"And the parrot's forty," said the king of thieves taking a sharp stab at her side which she dogged and knocked away.
"A parrot as a thieve," said Leila jumping onto a table dogging his sword "how pathetic."
Leila jumped high of the table and over her opponent about to take a swipe at the back of his neck when he turned around and caught her wrist and taking her sword. Leila was hoisted off the ground by his grip her feet dangling above the ground.
"You have a lot of spirit but that can be easily squashed," the king of thieves was about to take a swipe at her when he was thrown backwards dropping her to the ground in a heap. He ran off quickly and silently. Leila looked up to see a brown horse with a man with boyish features. He had grey hair and was wearing expensive clothing of satin. He looked Arabian. Leila got to her feet and saw prince Sethos putting away his sword. She then noticed that there was no more thieves in the street and more Egyptians in the street trying to figure out what was all the fuss about.
"Are you alright?" asked the well dressed Asian with a curious face in Arabic.
"yes" replied Leila in Arabic bowing to him.
"And how are you" he said turning to prince Sethos.
"What did he say?" said prince Sethos in Egyptian to Leila since he didn't speak Arabic.
"He said 'how are you'," said Leila in Egyptian.
"I am well" said prince Sethos in Egyptian.
The well dressed man looked confused.
"He is well sire," said Leila in Arabic.
"Well I must be on my way I have an audience with the pharaoh," he said turning his steed towards the castle.
"How do you know how to speak Asian?" asked prince Sethos turning to Leila.
"I am Asian so it was my first language," said Leila looking down "when I went into slavery I didn't know how to speak Egyptian so I was flogged and beet until I either nodded or shook my head. And then until I learned how to speak Egyptian.
"But no one in this part of Egypt knows how to speak Arabic So how did that man learn about his audience?" said prince Sethos.
Leila shrugged her shoulders and said "maybe someone in Arabia can speak Egyptian."
"Yah maybe," said prince Sethos stroking his chin.
"Lets go back to the palace, I have a feeling that the pharaoh and this man won't be able to communicate," said Leila.
So they went back to the castle bringing their swords and their Senet board and game pieces.
