welcome back

This story is a rewritten story and the prequel to Magi: The new Story of Magic!
The characters all belong to Shinobu Ohtaka.
I only converted some changes.

Well, I don't want to stop you for long and wish you a lot of fun on my eighth night

8th Night: The Dungeon Baal

When the new morning came, Alibaba and Morgiana sat at the same table as Aladdin and Tess, who were arguing again.
"That was mine!" Tess grumbled at the little prince as he stole the pear from his plate.
"Did you see that I took it?" he asked him, so that the orange-haired man breathed in briefly and with a 'No, I didn't.'.
"You see! So, it wasn't me either!" he said, looked to the side and ate the fruit.
"But Alibaba and Morgiana can prove it!" he said and leaned over to them, who stared at him slightly startled.
"He stole it from me, didn't he?" he asked them and leaned further and further over to them, so that the two pushed further away from him and looked at each other.
"Uh... So ... to be honest, we didn't really notice!" Alibaba said, so that Tess stared at him and then at the young prince when he said that even they didn't notice that he took the pear from his plate.
Then his brother shouted that he had just admitted it, and then sat back in his chair when his mother came back and told him to behave decently.
"After all, we are in another country and not in Alma Torran," she reminded the two boys, who looked at their plates and had forgotten about it for a moment.
When Falan sat down at the table again, she rolled out a map of Parthevia and pointed to a small island.
"We'll go there in a few minutes!" she said simply, so that the four of them sat closer to her and stared at it.
"On the island?" Alibaba asked her.
"Why?"
"Because on this island is the Dungeon Baal!" she answered with a smile.
"You will enter it together!"
"What!? We are entering the same dungeon that one of the sailors Sindbad had entered!?" Aladdin asked the woman, who just nodded and saw the two boys jumping happily.
Giggling, she then looked at Alibaba.
"I can't believe it! That we will soon enter the same dungeon as he once did!"
"It seems you've read the stories of Sindbad too," she said and saw a beaming prince.
"Yes! Sindbad is my greatest role model! I admire him and read all his adventures when I was still in Balbadd!" he said, trembling slightly and looking at his hands with a smile.
"I wonder if he's also here, in this fate!" he said then and then looked back at the orange-haired woman as she nodded and 'Absolutely.' said.
When she rolled up the card again and packed it in a bag, she looked over at the two boys, who were still talking happily about the adventures of the King of Sindria.
"When you're done with breakfast, we can make our way to the dungeon right away! It will take us a few hours to get there!" she said to the four who nodded and rose from their seats.
So, the woman got up, went to the reception to tell them that they would probably not be back until late in the evening, packed some supplies that she was promised to get ready, and then hurried to the four who were waiting for her outside.
"Are we going there on foot?" Tess asked her, so she shook her head with a smile and pointed to a caravan that came to them equipped with a few soldiers.
"When I got the letter from King Solomon, I asked the emperor to send us a caravan with a few loyal soldiers so that we could get to the dungeon without worrying," she said, then nodded to the soldiers who jumped off their horses and helped them get onto the caravan.
However, when they wanted to help Aladdin, he avoided them and pressed himself against Falan.
Now hiding behind her, he glanced over at them and then looked at Tess's mother when she told them that he would not be touched by strangers, whereupon she then squatted slightly and helped him into the caravan herself.
Smiling at her, he then went to Tess, who looked at him a little enviously, and sat next to him.
After the 39-year-old also went to them, the caravan set off.
Looking out of the window, they saw how little by little their surroundings changed and they now also left the city.
"Wow! What a landscape!" they marvelled and then looked at the woman who was watching them and said that Parthevia was already a beautiful country.
"Unfortunately, there are also dark spots that make this realm dangerous," she said then and looked out into the distance.
"What do you mean, aunt?" Aladdin asked her, so that she looked at them again and sighed.
"Since Parthevia is a large empire, the criminality of this empire is very high. Robbers, bandits ... everything imaginable is running around here, so that the emperor no longer has an overview of his population," she said and then looked at Alibaba when he asked her something.
"Doesn't King Solomon support this country?" he asked her, so that the woman thought for a moment and then shook her head.
"King Solomon must not interfere in the other kingdoms. If wars are triggered, he will then participate and investigate between the two empires. Otherwise, he is denied to do anything," Falan answered, so that Alibaba and Morgiana looked at each other.
They looked at her again when she said that this was also the reason why she asked the emperor to provide a few soldiers.
"We will have to go through some areas where we will probably meet some robbers," she said then and looked over at the young prince, who clung to his brother in fear.
"Don't worry! If any come, I'll protect you!" he said smiling and patted his head so that he looked at him and nodded.
Observing this, his two friends smiled and then talked about something else, so that Aladdin was distracted and didn't think about it anymore.

At the same time, just a little further south, a cloaked person stood on a tall building and watched the caravan in which the five were sitting.
Watching her with a grin, he then jumped down from the building and simply walked along the path that the caravan was making.
In the process, the people near him fell down and turned to stone.
"How abnormal the Magoi is," said the person and spat when he tasted a bitter taste.
"Don't worry! As soon as we possess this magic, you wish your sensual desire and receive so much Magoi that does not taste so bitter!" grinned a sinister Rukh who flew beside him.
Looking stubbornly straight ahead, he just nodded.
"This boy ... He possesses the said magic. He shouldn't have it, and he shouldn't exist."
"... Yes, so is it... This god ... His arrogance is unbelievable! After all the decades I waited, he has imprisoned the superhuman power in Alma Torran and lets it sleep in this boy!" spoke the male person.
Continuing to walk straight ahead and taking the Magoi in his area, he then looked at the dark Rukh.
"Why did you want that magic again?" he asked him and then cried out when a lightning strike hit him.
"You useless form of a god! You don't have to care! Just get it for me so that I can grant you a wish!" cried the dark Rukh and struck another bolt of lightning.
"Not that you'll get your mind off things!" he then said, so that the hooded young man picked himself up again and stared slightly at him with an evil look.
"I will not fail in this fate again!" he laughed.
Now far away in an abandoned and rotten large building, a person walked up to a large shattered mosaic window and stared at it with a sinister smile.
"Get it and then we'll fight it out again! As befits a mighty god, Ala!" this figure laughed and looked with his empty red eyes at the sky, where dozens of dark Rukh were buzzing.

A few hours of driving to the Dungeon Baal passed.
When they climbed up at the harbour, from where the crooked path to the dungeon departed, they saw the huge tower after a few minutes.
"There he is!" shouted the two boys and ran forward.
"Wow! He's actually still standing there!" Alibaba marvelled and then looked at Falan, who stopped next to him and Morgiana.
"Yes. All dungeons are in their places from where their buildings were built," she said.
"And ... Why is that? You're a dungeon researcher and you know it for sure," said the blond-haired man, but got a shaking head.
"Unfortunately, not. I'm just there to investigate the dungeons."
"Investigate?" the two asked and then looked at Tess and Aladdin, who groped to them.
"Mother and also some others from Alma Torran, who received this order from Solomon, have gone out into the world and are looking to see if the jinn are behaving strangely!" Tess said, so that the two stared at him in confusion and then looked at the young prince.
"Dad got a message some time ago that the djinn, who were already classified asdefeated, have recently moved into the dungeon of the villagers who were near these buildings!" he said, so that Alibaba and Morgiana looked shocked and then looked at Falan again.
"Yes. In the beginning, it was people who dared to destroy the dungeon or kidnap the inhabitants of the dungeons and sell them as slaves," she said and nodded when Alibaba said that there were no slaves anymore.
"Didn't King Solomon take care of it?" he asked.
"Yes! That's why the dungeons exist! Of course, they also exist so that the inhabitants of the world are not afraid of them and can come to visit them," she smiled and then looked at the map.
"However, of course there are also people who want to take advantage of this opportunity and make the inhabitants slaves," she then said.
Then looking at the dungeon of Baal, she said that now there are also people who just wanted to visit the dungeon and couldn't get out of it.
"King Solomon received dozens of letters asking him to remove the dungeons from their realms."
"Why is that?" asked the 14-year-old.
"Because they started to be afraid of the other species that live in these dungeons and their masters. You have to know that this is the only way to show people that they can be trusted, so that they can travel around the world at some point in the future. But someone doesn't want humans and other species to live together in peace," Falan said and then got off the ship with the small group when it reached the island.
"How do you know that someone is doing something about it?" Morgiana asked her and looked at the blue-haired man when he looked back briefly and answered: "Since Dad got an unnamed letter, she knows that. In this letter it said: |I will strengthen my power through the dungeons and the people around them, and get what you hide!|"
When he turned forward again, he was startled when he saw Alibaba's face at his side, when he asked him how he knew exactly what was written in this letter.
"He was sniffing around in his father's office!" Tess said and then nudged his little brother when he looked at him and shouted that this was not true at all.
"Absolutely! I caught you!" he grinned and tore the boy's head so that his turban was a little crooked.
"You've got it thick behind your ears!" he grinned and then ran forward as she slowly came to the end of the spiral staircase.
Now Aladdin was also running after him, Alibaba, Morgiana and Falan looked after them.
"Don't worry. When I received the letter from Solomon, I sent some of my envoys here and received a positive response that this dungeon was safe. So, Baal won't hurt you," she smiled and walked past the two boys, who now stopped and examined the Holy Gate of the dungeon from a safe distance.
When they saw Falan walking slowly up the stairs, the four followed her and then stopped when she stopped and turned to them.
"I've followed you up to this point. In the dungeon, the four of you have to manage on your own," she said with a smile and then walked past them to let them through.
Aladdin, who was now afraid of it, felt the hand of his big brother, who smiled encouragingly at him.
So, the four looked at each other, nodded silently and wanted to touch the gate, but Alibaba had to ask a question.
"Wait a minute! What is it like when we get into the dungeon? Will we be in the treasury immediately or at the beginning?" he asked the woman, so that now the three others also asked themselves this.
However, the 39-year-old smiled, pointed her finger to the gate and said: "Find out!"
When she said this, they looked at each other again and then four of them entered the Holy Door.

"(A tugging ... It looks so familiar to me ...)" Alibaba thought and then opened his eyes.
Looking around, he walked a little bit until he stared back at his starting point and then at the ceiling.
"No eight-pointed star?" he asked himself and then looked to the other side when he saw a person with a red cape standing with his cape on.
His cloak flew lightly, although there was no wind to be felt.
Staring at this person, he then wanted to go to her and ask who it was and if he was already in the dungeon.
But before he could utter a sound, the person looked over at him with dark red piercing eyes and a sinister grin, so that it radiated an oppressive aura as well as sinister Rukh that Alibaba tried to fend off.

Frighteningly traveling his eyes, Alibaba stared at the ceiling.
Breathing heavily, he patted around and held something stone-like in his hands.
Staring at the stone, he sat up and looked around.
Still breathing heavily, he looked below him and saw an eight-pointed star.
"Is that ... the start?" he asked himself and looked around more closely.
When he slowly understood, he rose from his seat and saw strange statues, diamonds and columns.
"This is ... That's the inside of the dungeon!?" he asked and ran to the various items.
Smiling at this, he then looked at himself when the event from earlier came to his mind.
"What the hell was that earlier?! And who was this person?!" he asked now.
Tackling each other everywhere, he then heard the others appearing one by one.
Going to them, he woke up the three, who slowly opened their eyes.
"Alibaba ...?" asked the orange-haired man when he noticed a friendly smile from the older prince.
"There you are at last!" he said with a smile and now went to Morgiana to wake her up as well.
When the 14-year-old stared at him a little sleepily, he crawled to Aladdin when he saw him still slumbering.
"Hey, Aladdin! Wake up!" he said, gently shaking the young prince so that he mumbled and said that he wanted to sleep for another 5 minutes.
However, when his brother looked at him pouting, he grabbed his staff and conjured up a water magic so that he jumped up from the wet water.
"Tell me, are you crazy?! What was that supposed to do?! I'm Pietsche patsche wet again!" Aladdin screamed angrily and now wide awake, so that Tess looked at him, got up from his seat and scratched his nose.
"You wanted to sleep on! So, you can forget that I'm transferring the whole dungeon to you!" he said and looked around now.
When he heard this, Aladdin also looked around.
"Tell me Alibaba! What did you mean earlier by 'Here you are at last'? Have you been here long?" he asked him when he helped his girlfriend up and looked at him.
Now wondering why, he was here earlier than the other three, the 10-year-old picked up his divine staff and stumbled over to Tess.
"Well... I haven't been here that long," he said.
When Alibaba wanted to ask them if they had also been into a mysterious room and saw a mysterious person, Aladdin interrupted him.
"That's strange ... Although we went in at the same time, there is probably some kind of time difference," Aladdin wondered and grabbed his chin.
"What could be the reason for that?" he asked now and then groped along the tunnel when he heard splashing water.
Looking at him, Alibaba sighed softly and then smiled.
He can also ask her about it later.
Following him, they surveyed their surroundings and then saw various statues and patterns on the walls.
As they slowly reached the end of the long road, they closed their eyes as the light grew stronger and stronger.
After they could be sure that their eyes had become accustomed to the brightness, they opened it and saw various pillars and dragons sitting on these pillars and looking into the distance.
"The ... it's amazing!" shouted the four in chorus and examined geysers that were just erupting.
"There is a lot to see here! Isn't that exciting, Aladdin!?" Tess asked the little prince and looked at him as he looked at the area with shining eyes, clenched his hands in fists and began to tremble with excitement, where he then simply dashed off and left the others behind.
"What's that?! Or that?! Oh! I've never seen that before!" he exclaimed full of curiosity; ran to every single little thing he had never seen before and almost ran into a geyser ready to burst out if Alibaba and Tess hadn't grabbed him by the arms and pulled him back.
When the 10-year-old fell on his four-letters, he looked at them as they admonished him to be a little more careful.
"Man! You can't be let out of your sight for a few seconds ..." sighed the 14-year-old, so that the 17-year-old just smiled and put his hand on the little shoulder of his little friend.
"I know that a dungeon can be very exciting! However, you should be careful and think carefully about what you do!" he said with a smile, so that Aladdin looked at him.
"Even though this one has already been conquered, it seems to me that we still have to find the right way!" he said then and looked around.
"The king told us that once the dungeon is conquered, there will be a glowing path, because the lost ones can leave if they accidentally enter here! But I don't see any!" he then added.
"Yes! Mother told me this morning that the envoy she sent here should speak to Baal under her name and thus put the dungeon back to the beginning it was before Sindbad defeated it!" Tess then said, so that Alibaba looked at Aladdin again and smiled at him again.
"You see! The dungeon has been put back so that it has become a dangerous place, so we have to be careful not to get lost or die! After all, your life's dream should come true here! Isn't it?" he asked him, so that his eyes widened when the older prince said the following.
"So, let's think together about which way we should go!" he smiled, so Aladdin looked down at the floor and nodded silently.
Lifting himself from his seat, he stumbled over to Tess, who was smiling just like Alibaba.
"(That was a great speech you made, Alibaba!)" thought the orange-haired man, patted his little brother's head as he held on to his clothes and looked at the dragons that were still standing on the pillars and staring into the distance.
"Strange..."
"What's that strange, Tess?" Alibaba and Morgiana asked him, so he pointed to the dragons and said, "Those dragons there... They don't move, even though we've been here for a while!" he then said, so that now the three of them also looked at them.
"Hm ... Maybe these are statues, like the one at the starting point," said the prince from Balbadd, so that his girlfriend nodded.
"No! These are not statues!" said the prince from Alma Torran and ran with Tess to them, so that the two looked at each other and then followed them.
When they arrived at one, they couldn't believe their own eyes.
"What-what happened to them?" asked the two Torrans, who slowly approached him and touched her carefully.
"Someone ... she petrified," Aladdin said and then went to a baby dragon that was about to hatch.
They looked at him in shock and then at Tess when he told them that these were creatures from Alma Torran.
"What?!"
"They were different species! In addition to the dungeon creatures that live here, there are also the inhabitants of Alma Torran!" he said and then looked at Aladdin as he pointed to a huge dragon.
"This one, for example, is a dungeon creature," he said silently and when Alibaba looked at it, he cried out in shock.
"KIAAAAH! IT'S HUGE!" he screamed and was about to hide behind Morgiana when she said that he didn't have to worry.
"Huh? Why not?"
"Because even he turned to stone!" she said, so the two boys nodded and slowly walked with them to him.
When they arrived, Aladdin and Tess examined this giant dragon and then went back to the other two when they found nothing strange about him.
"Tell me, Tess... If the other species and even the dungeon creatures have been petrified... Is Baal then also petrified?" the young prince asked his brother as he looked down at him and then shrugged his shoulders.
"I don't know. We would have to look that up quickly," he said.
So, the four made their way to the treasure chamber.

When they found a secret staircase near the large gate, they took it and walked through an underground secret passage, where they also found many petrified dungeon creatures.
Finding this terrible, Aladdin ran forward and looked at them with humility.
"Tell me, Tess. The djinn in the dungeons that have already been defeated, are they really still in there like Baal now?" Alibaba asked the 14-year-old in a whisper and took this opportunity as Aladdin continued to walk ahead.
Looking at him, he nodded and asked why he wanted to know this.
"Well, from the other fate I remember, the jinn wandered into our metal vessels. In my case, my sword," he said and showed it to him.
"Hm ... Is that why the dungeons disappeared for you?"
"I don't know ... But I think so," he said, so that Tess looked at him and then looked back at Aladdin, who was raising a living being again when it fell to the side.
"Why did they wander in the metal vessels?" he then asked when his little brother ran forward again.
"Well, so that the dungeon conquerors can use the djinn equipment," he answered, so that Tess looked at him again and smiled.
"Oh, yes! No, they will continue to live in the dungeons, since they are the leaders of the other species. They give part of their powers to the one who has conquered the dungeon and whom they also consider worthy. The Dungeon Conquerors can then use this Djinn equipment, as it was probably in the other fate. But don't ask me now if I saw anyone in djinn outfits! I've only heard about it once!" said Tess and then stopped when they stood in front of another gate, where this time the eight-pointed star was.
With joint forces, they pushed open the gate, as it was open a small crack, and entered the huge treasure chamber.
"Okay! Look for something with an eight-pointed star on it! There should be Baal in it!" said Tess, whereupon everyone nodded and went in search of the djinn vessel.
However, when they found nothing after minutes, they sat against a pedestal.
"Strange... This should actually be the treasury of Baal ... " sighed the orange-haired man.
"Maybe we took the wrong way," said the blond-haired man.
"No, we're not. Do you remember what King Solomon said? No matter which way we go, we will always reach our goal!" said the redhead, so that her boyfriend leaned back against the pedestal and 'True! I forgot that.' said.
Listening to this, Aladdin looked over at his former best friends and wanted to say something.
But when he felt something on his hand, he looked there and picked it up.
"Well! What's that?" Aladdin asked, holding a broken handle that used to hang on something.
"Where did you get that?" his brother asked him, so Aladdin pointed to where it was.
Straightening up a little, they looked behind the podium and found dozens of shards.
When Tess and Alibaba took a closer look and asked Aladdin and Morgiana to stay where they were, the 14-year-old young man found a splintered eight-pointed shard.
"The ... has been the lamp of Baal!" he said shockingly, so that Alibaba and Morgiana looked shocked at the shard, while the young prince held his hands in front of his mouth.
"Does that mean ... Baal no longer exists?"

Well, that was my eighth night.
I hope you liked it and gave you suspense, harmony and humor.
Especially humor

By the way; Unfortunately, I don't have the humor of the actual author of Magi.
But, I'm kind of trying to bring that humor in here

Well, for now there is no explanation.
But if you would like to be told something because you didn't understand something, you can ask me privately or in the review, but only once please

I would look forward to detailed and nice criticism. But not too nice.
After all, I want to improve where I might be bad, especially in English

I hope you like it and take it into the spell of imagination
I also hope that you will read the upcoming chapters or nights.
Until then,
In love your MimiTenshi
