3rd Night: Memories

"(What is this place? I can't see anything ...)" thought a blond-haired young man.
"(I can't feel anything ... Nor can I breathe ...)" he thought and then panicked when he couldn't breathe.
He was startled, took a deep breath and then saw that he was in a small well.
Looking at it in confusion, he heard two people complaining that he was in his well.
Staring at her in confusion, he jumped up when the woman chased him with a broom.
Still out of breath, the young man leaned against a wall in an alley.
"(Where am I anyway...? And who am I anyway?)" he asked himself.
When he heard laughter, he left the alley and froze at what he saw.
A huge bazaar stretched out in front of him, where there were many exotic flowers, delicious food and elegantly dressed people.
Completely speechless, he walked along the Baser until he came across something.
"Hey! Be careful where you ..." he was about to complain, but froze when a huge monster stood in front of him.
Looking at it, it bent over to the young man, who was now sitting trembling on the ground.
He stared at the monster with a panicked look and saw his life flit before his eyes.
"There you are, Momo!" shouted a man with long white hair, which he tied into a braid.
Now looking at him, the monster, which was probably called Momo, spoke to the powerfully built man.
"(What the ... what the hell is going on here?!)" asked the young man, when he heard the two speak in a completely different language.
Now looking at him, the blond-haired man froze as the man stepped in front of him.
"Did you see two small children running around here?" he asked him.
Still frozen, he shook his head when this man asked him again in a strong voice.
"Damn! Where have they been hiding?" he asked himself and now looked to the side with a stern look.
"Okay, if you see two suspicious children, stop them!" he ordered and then went deeper into the bazaar with the monster.
Looking after him, the young man got up and knocked the dirt off his clothes.
"(Great! I don't know where I am nor do I know which children I should stop! There are a lot of children running around here!)" he thought and then looked around a little more closely.
Looking at his surroundings, he walked along the bazaar from where the man came.
"(The mechation of the third eye! The same sign as what I saw one on the archaeology island of the Torrans!)" he thought, and stopped when he heard his name called.
Now turning to where the voice came from, his face lit up when he recognized the person again.
"Morgiana?! Tell me, how do you look?!" he asked the young lady, whose name was Morgiana.
"I could ask you the same thing, Alibaba," she said.
"What do I look like?" asked the young man, whose name was Alibaba.
"Well... You look different. Somehow in formal royal attire." said Fanalis.
Looking at himself at a conveniently positioned mirror, he cried out, so that everyone who walked past them looked at him.
"What do I look like?!" he asked himself in shock and stared intensely at his reflection.
Alibaba wore a long light blue coat, which is decorated with a light-yellow stripe, as well as slightly wide white trousers, black shoes and his red ribbon around his neck.
Morgiana also cried out when she saw herself in the mirror
"What do I look like!? That's not my previous clothes! My hair is longer again, too!"
As they stared at each other, asked Alibaba if she could remember, as he did.
"Yes! Only what happened, I do not remember! As well as an important person..." she said and held her hand to her temple.
Alibaba also held his temple.
"Yes! No matter how hard I try, there is always a stabbing pain." he said and then looked at himself questioningly.
"Do you remember his name?" he asked his girlfriend, who shook her head.
"No. All I can remember is that this person was very important to both of us..."
"Yes ... That was it..." Alibaba now said depressed to the ground.
Caressing his back, he smiled.
"At least we can still recognize each other!" he said with a smile.
When he then gave her a kiss on the lips, whereupon Morgiana blushed around the nose, she walked silently next to him, who held her hand.

"Wohar! What fruits there are here!" Alibaba marvelled and looked at the stalls.
Morgiana, who was still looking at the ground silently, suddenly looked up when a monster bent down.
Now looking to his right, he was startled when he recognized the same monster as before.
"Hehe ... Hi!"
Now looking at him also, he asked something with a sign of his hand that Alibaba did not understand.
"Is this your first time in Alma Torran?" asked the salesman standing behind the counter.
Looking at him in shock, he looked at his girlfriend.
"Did you just say Alma Torran?" the young man asked the salesman.
"Yes! This is the bazaar of Alma Torran! We sell exotic fruits for the royal family as well as for the commoners!" he said with a smile and then looked at the monster that tapped him.
"The Manticore asked you if you had seen two conspicuous children running around in the meantime," the salesman overstaffed.
Staring at him now, he shook his head so that the Manticore bowed to him and went on.
Looking after him, he was startled when the salesman asked him if he wanted something.
Shaking his head with a smile, he walked on with his girlfriend.
"Did you hear that?! We are in Alma Torran!" said Alibaba, so Morgiana only nodded silently.
"But how is such a thing even possible?" he asked himself and then looked at a stall full of apples.
This colour reminded him of someone who loved apples.
"Resisting thieves!" he heard the seller of the apple stand call.
"They were meant for the prince!" she yelled at the children, who ran away giggling.
Growling after them, she stopped when Alibaba and Morgiana offered themselves.
"We'll catch up with them with ease!" he grinned and now ran after the children.
As they were walking in an alley, they heard the thieves talking.
"Oh man! This time we didn't collect so much!" murmured the orange-haired young man.
"It's all your fault! If you hadn't been so conspicuous, we would have brought in a lot more loot." said the smaller of them
Frozen to hear this familiar voice, the two hid and looked over at the little thieves.
"What?! My fault?! If you hadn't understood the women, we would have had a lot more!" said a little taller of them, so they started to argue.
Now looking at each other, the two nodded and went to the little thieves.
"Hey you two! You know you have to pay for it?" Alibaba asked the two, who were first frightened and then jumped up.
"So what? Do we have to care?" asked the boy with the grass-green eyes.
"Yes! If you don't, it's theft!" smiled the older one.
The two with the handkerchiefs on their heads first looked at each other and then laughed.
"What ... is it funny?" asked Alibaba with a questioning look.
"Your face!" laughed the younger one.
"The way you just looked at us was incredibly funny!" said the slightly older one laughing, so that Alibaba stared at the little ones with a trembling look.
"You cheeky little scoundrels! You don't make fun of older people!" he grumbled and looked at the younger one, who said that they didn't care and showed him his tongue.
Turning it onto the barrel, he stamped on the floor and looked down at the boy, who was staring at him with piercing sky-blue eyes.
Frozen by those eyes, the two boys looked behind them when they heard a familiar voice.
"There you are!" the white-haired man shouted and held the two by the collar who tried to run away.
"What have you done again!?" the strong man asked the boys, who first tried to free themselves from the grip, but gave up and asked if they were getting into trouble now.
"You Tess, yes! With you, your parents are far too generous! If you were my son, you'd get worse too!" he grumbled at the two, who were now hanging down like limp sacks.
"Thank you for finding it! These two are now getting into a lot of trouble ... at least you here!" he thanked them and raised his right arm where the eldest hung.
"Um... that's not a cause! We did it gladly!" said Alibaba, and then looked frightened at the two youngsters, who looked at him angrily and called him miserable traitors.
When they disappeared again, Alibaba continued to look where they were going.
Morgiana, who went to him, asked if everything was okay.
Looking at her now, he shook his head.
"Those bright sky-blue eyes, remind me of someone... Only, I don't know to whom ..." Alibaba said and then nodded when Morgiana suggested that they go on.

As they silently took the same path as the man with the children, Morgiana looked up at Alibaba, who was still trying to figure out where he had seen those sky-blue eyes from before.
Not knowing where they were going, Alibaba bumped into someone who was staring at him angrily.
"Watch where you go, boy!" the man grumbled and said that they were celebrating the young prince's birthday today.
"A prince's birthday?" he asked, and then looked at a group of young people who were laughing.
"Get out of the way, altar!" said a young man and pushed Alibaba aside.
When he fell to the ground, the leader of the troop laughed.
"It's still possible! Firstly, I am not old and secondly; You can also be friendlier and tell someone in a friendlier way instead of pushing!" the young man grumbled and got up again with the help of his girlfriend.
"Hah! So what?! I don't care!" the pitch-black-haired boy said to him.
"Where do you come from over?! You don't look like a Torraner!" laughed his neighbour with white hair.
"But the Fanalis next to you looks pretty sexy! Hey sweetie! Come with us! We don't bite either!" said the other.
When Fanalis could no longer pull herself together, she was just about to teach the three boys a lesson.
But Alibaba intervened and told her that violence was not a solution, but he apologized and walked a few steps away from the group with Morgiana.
Looking after him with a sinister grin, the pitch-black-haired young man also went on with his troop.
"Why did you stop me?!" Morgiana asked her friend, who looked briefly over his shoulder and then stopped with her.
"This boy ... he radiated a sinister aura that is not normal," he said.
"And yet he reminds me of someone... Someone who radiated a peaceful aura."
Staring at him confusedly, she looked where they were before and then walked on with him.

When they managed to get through the crowd, they saw the group from before.
Looking at him with the jet-black hair and piercing dark red eyes, he grinned with a sinister aura and then looked back at the pedestal.
"Hah! I'm curious to see if the little prince shows up!" said the white-haired man.
"Prince? We have already heard about them from many! Who could he be?" asked the blond-haired man, while the two looked back at the group that probably detested the prince.
"Yes! After all, he's not a magician at all!" said the young man with the jet-black hair, who had crossed his arms.
"I wonder why our great king still takes him as his son! He doesn't even have the ability to see the Rukh!" laughed the grey-haired man and then stopped when suddenly a man told them to pay respect to the prince.
Staring at him with an unfeeling gaze, he glanced briefly at Alibaba and Morgiana, grinned at them again, and then looked at the pedestal where the large gate was opened and four people came out.
The humans, as well as the other species, began to cheer and rejoiced to see the king and queen.
Not sure why they were cheering, Alibaba and Morgiana saw the pedestal and recognized the white-haired man who was punishing two children.
Then two more people came to light.
When the two teenagers looked up, they were speechless.
It can't be, but... on the pedestal there were actually two faces that they recognized.
"These are ... King Solomon and Queen Sheba!" cried the third prince of Baldbadd.
Looking at each other now, a Rukh scurried inside the two, showing them memories of an old friend.
Memories that made the two cries.
From afar, the 15-year-old boy looked over at the two and grinned maliciously.
"Apparently, they got parts of his memory!" said a sinister Rukh in his ear.
He just nodded with a grin and looked at the podium again.
Many memories flashed back to Alibaba that he couldn't help but cry.
When the orange-haired young man came, who had a small bump on his head, they all turned to the door and smiled at the person, who dared to take shy steps forward.
"Come on, my little darling. Take my hand," said the queen warmly, and stretched out her hand to the boy, who then accepted it with a smile and waved to the people as well as the king and queen beside him.
"You are ..." Alibaba stared up and remembered the last time he saw him.

"|I will never forget you! Aladdin!|"

"Aladdin!" said Alibaba, looking up at the prince with tears in his eyes.
"This is Aladdin! This is our Aladdin! He's alive! He has... made it!" Alibaba beamed with a wide smile.
Morgiana also looked up with that smile and shed tears!
They could not know why they were gassing their best friend.
However, this didn't matter to them at first, because they knew that Aladdin would find a way to experience the new fate with them.
"The main thing is that he came at this time!"
"My dear people!" said the king and raised his divine staff, whereby a magic escaped so that the other species also understood him.
"You have come here today from places far and wide to celebrate with us the 10th birthday of our first prince Alma Torrans! But that's not the only reason why you came from everywhere! Because you also want to witness a new era!" he said, so that everyone began to cheer and infected the two with his joy, so that Alibaba and Morgiana looked at their best friend with shining eyes.
"I didn't know it was his birthday today! Did you know, Morgiana?!" the young man asked almost shouting in her ear, as the crowd of people and other species were extremely loud.
She shook her head.
"Because today my Queen Sheba and I not only want to celebrate our Prince's birthday, but also hand over the sacred divine staff of Queen Sheba to him today before your eyes!"
When Solomon said this, Tess, Aladdin, Alibaba, Morgiana, as well as the inhabitants of Alma Torran and the others who came from other kingdoms, looked at him in shock and questioning.
"(What?! But... Aladdin hasn't mastered the power yet ... let alone is he a ...)" thought his friend and looked at him as speechless as the smaller one looked at him.
Then the queen turned to her son, smiled, and then spoke to him.
"My beloved prince! You have been at our side for 10 years and have been on your little adventure through the world of the Rukh!"
Embarrassed, however, her son looked to the side and heard the laughter of the other magicians.
She raised her divine staff and held it horizontally towards Aladdin.
"As a sign of me, King Solomon and all the other bearers of this staff, we entrust his strength to you and welcome you from now on as a magician of the divine staff !" said the 27-year-old young queen.
Not quite sure, though, Aladdin looked over at Tess, who just shrugged his shoulders and made a hand gesture to accept his mother's staff.
Now looking at her again, the 10-year-old prince swallowed, nodded and held his hands open in acceptance.
Smiling at the fact that her son was receiving his fate, she placed her former staff in his small hands and hugged him.
When the three braced themselves again for the people, they cheered so loudly as if there was no tomorrow.
Not quite so sure about what he was doing, Aladdin smiled painedly.

Meanwhile, Alibaba also cheered.
He was happy to have recognized his best friend again and was even happier that he had parents.
"Hach! It makes me glad to see Aladdin like that! Hach! I like this world!" he said and looked at his girlfriend, who was staring at the troop that was slowly walking away from them.
Following them, the blond-haired prince looked after his girlfriend.
"Where are you going, Morgiana?"
"Psst. I follow these guys. I kind of have a strange feeling about them."
"But ... We wanted to go to Aladdin. We should definitely congratulate him. Besides, I want to make him know that I can still remember him very well!" said the 3rd prince proudly and simply followed her on.
Nodding, she said that she wanted to tell him as well, that she recognized him and why this was at all, since they had forgotten him for the time being.
Following the youngsters, they hid when the one with the jet-black hair stopped and looked in their direction.
Grinning, he went into the building and dropped something.
When he was no longer to be seen, they went to the place where he dropped something.
"An ID?" Alibaba asked, dropping it again when he saw the scowling smile and look.
"It scared me! My face!" he said, clutching his heart.
Raising the Fanalist, she read the ID.
"Name: Shadows! First name: Khan! Birthday: December 8th! Age: 15! Nationality: Unknown! Place of birth: Unknown!" she read aloud and turned the ID card over.
"Eye colour: Dark red! Height: 167 cm!"
Turning the ID card over again, she looked at Alibaba and rose from the crouch.
The Prince of Balbadd, too, rose from his crouch and went to the gate.
"Sorry! That Khan who came in here earlier has lost his ID! Could we go in for a moment and give it back to him?" asked Fanalis kindly.
Looking down at the two, he denied admission.
"No ID, no admission!"
"But Khan had no ID! Why was he allowed in here?" Alibaba asked him.
"He had an ID! That's why he was allowed in!"
Looking at each other questioningly, they said what this was then.
Taking a closer look at the ID, the guard used a gravity spell and immediately called his comrades.

"Why?" Aladdin asked his parents, who only looked at him questioningly.
"Why do you want me to have this staff? You know that I can't use magic. I can't even see the Rukh," Aladdin said and looked depressed at the ground and gripped his new staff tightly in his hands.
"We know that, my darling," his mother said and crouched down a little to look him in the face.
"We thought that if you had the divine staff, you could learn magic and see the Rukh faster. You just have to take your time," Sheba smiled and gave the 10-year-old boy a little kiss on the forehead.
Looking at his father, who just smiled and nodded in agreement with his wife, he turned to the guards who were saying something to him.
"Great King Solomon! We arrested two people who had an ID card full of sinister Rukh!" the guard told the King.
Meanwhile the Queen went to her husband and looked at the two men.
"What? But that can't be! We destroyed this Rukh 5 years ago!" said the Queen.
"Yes, we know that! But these two probably still have them!"
"Then why do you come to us? Just take her to the dungeon," Solomon said calmly.
But the two guards looked at each other and said that they had tried.
"But the guy said that he knew the prince well!"
They pointed at Aladdin, who only pointed at himself confused and questioning.
Looking at him, his father then went to the direction in which the two came and said that they should take him to them.
So, they nodded and showed the group the room they were trapped in.
"Okay. Tess! I want you to take care of Aladdin. He shouldn't come in with me."
"All right, Solomon! I'm taking care of the little kid here!"
"Hey! I'd better take care of you! After all, you're the one who always wants to know everything!" Aladdin said and looked to the side pouting.
Laughing to see the little quarrels, they then went into the room.
When the door closed, the two boys went to the door and pressed their ears against it, hoping to hear something.
So, Solomon, Sheba and the other two adults went to the two people who were kneeling in front of them with their heads bowed.
"Why did you have to defend yourself and say that you know Aladdin?" the red-haired young woman asked the blond-haired young man, who only whispered an excuse and said that he absolutely had to see him.
When they noticed that there were four shadows above them, the two did not dare to look up.
"Who are you and why do you know Prince Aladdin?"
Winching, the blond-haired man ventured up a little and said that he was her best friend.
Swallowing a toilet, he only now noticed that Aladdin's father was standing in front of him.
"(It looks really scary up close.)" Alibaba thought as he looked into the sapphire blue eyes.
"Now don't look so sternly, Solomon!" Sheba smiled and crouched down to take a closer look at her.
Speechless by her eyes and gentle smiles, which Aladdin also had, the spell that captivated her was loosened.
"You don't have anything bad in mind! Their Rukh radiate a warm aura that radiates with pure friendliness!" said the queen with a smile and helped them to get up again.
"Are you sure about that, Sheba?" he asked her, so that she just smiled friendly.

Meanwhile, the orange-haired boy was pacing up and down behind the other side of the door.
It annoyed him that all the doors were soundproofed ... or at least shrouded in a soundproof spell.
"I want to know what's going on in it, caution! Above all, I want to see the people who seem to know you, Aladdin!"
"Hm ..." the young prince only said and tried to conjure up some magic formulas with his new staff.
But it didn't work, so the smaller one wanted to throw the baton.
"Oh! It doesn't work ... I'm not a magician! Why did mom and dad decide to give me something that won't work anyway ..." he said sadly, and then leaned against the wall behind him.
Knowing how much the little prince felt, Tess wanted to say words of encouragement to him.
But he didn't know what.
So, he decided to just sit next to him and wait until the adults came out again.

"How do I know Aladdin?" Solomon asked the two, who stretched because of the spell.
"As I said, he is our best friend!" Alibaba smiled.
Looking at himself, Sheba said that he had no friends except for Tess.
"At least we wouldn't know that he has a friend from Balbadd and a friend from the Fanalis tribe!" she said and looked slightly to the side.
Now looking at each other questioningly, they looked at the king of the kingdom.
"Since what happened five years ago, he has never been allowed to leave the palace!"
"What ... Did it happen five years ago?" Alibaba asked them, so that they looked at him in shock.
"You don't know what happened five years ago?" the queen asked him, and then looked at the king, who asked her where they came from.
Looking at each other, Alibaba said that they did not know exactly where they came from.
"All we remember is that we were in a glowing room!" the prince said, adding that he had shouted never to forget Aladdin.
Understanding him and yet looking inquiringly, Solomon went to the table and sat on a chair.
Watching him, Sheba asked the two to sit down as well, which they gladly accepted.
"Oh, by the way! These are Setta and Wahid. They are our followers and also best friends," the queen introduced her kindly.
Waving to him, they looked at Solomon, who still wants to understand how something like this could happen.
Now looking at Morgiana, she nodded when she recognized Alibaba's gaze.
"Well, we can remember something else ..." Alibaba began to tell so that everyone looked at him.
"It's not so clear anymore, and I don't remember who told us that ... But all we know is that this is a new destiny."
Looking at him in shock, they now looked at the Fanalist.
"Before we came here, we were seized by such a warm light, which gave us new life."
"Exactly! Apparently, our world, which we no longer know, has been destroyed. And since we were in a kind of protective dome, we could stare at a new life here," said the prince.
While Solomon understood everything, Sheba only started in the distance.
"... Please, don't. It makes me dizzy!"
While the others laughed, Solomon only looked at his wife with a monotonous look.
"Really, Sheba? Do you really have to make that look now?" he asked her and had to laugh when she hit him.
"You're really insensitive, do you even know that, Solomon!?" she snapped at him, so that there was a small separation between them.
Looking at them with a smile, they looked at Setta, who sighed that this would now go on until tomorrow!
"Yes! Nobody wants to be right or wrong! They fight over little things that are annoying!" said Wahid and looked at the two quarrelsome.
When they suddenly heard the door open, they looked at the two boys who fell on the snout.
"I told you it wouldn't work, Aladdin!" Tess snapped at the boy and pushed him away while he was still sitting on his shoulder.
"You've been swaying around way too much! I couldn't hold on properly!"
"Oh! Now it's probably my fault!? You just jumped on my shoulders!" he snapped and started arguing with him, which then developed into a small fight.
Looking at them, the adults sighed, so that Solomon and Wahid rose from their seats and grabbed the two brawlers by the collar.
While Aladdin fidgeted around, Tess got a blow to the head.
"Didn't Solomon tell you to protect the prince!?" his father asked him sternly, so that Tess just held his bump crying and said yes.
Now he stopped fidgeting, he asked his father to let him down again.
Staring at him with a monotonous gaze, he apologized.
"Are you sure about that? I'll not let you go until you're serious!" said Solomon.
With a depressed look, he just nodded, so he was released again.
Looking at him with a smile, Alibaba and Morgiana looked at each other.
When the two reconciled, they accompanied their fathers, who wanted to introduce them to some.
Happy to look at Aladdin and tell him that they haven't forgotten him, they just stared at him when he looked at them.
"These are ..." Tess began.
"... the traitors!" Aladdin ends, so that his friends just stared at him speechlessly.
"What do you mean?" Sheba asked her, to which Aladdin wanted to answer that they blew the whistle on her while stealing.
But Tess held his mouth tight and said that they felt they were traitors.
"Don't lie, you rascal! The two of them have fled the palace again!" said Wahid, so that Solomon and Sheba looked at Aladdin, who looked bashfully at the ground.
Out of the corner of his eye, he looked at Alibaba and Morgian and begged them not to talk about stealing.
"Aladdin, we know that you want to discover the world and go on adventures. But you don't have any borrowing magic," Sheba said, so Aladdin looked sadly at the ground.
"And Tess isn't strong enough to protect you yet."
"But I'm already strong enough!" Tess protested and then looked at his father, who told him that he still had a lot to learn.
Looking at Aladdin, his two friends looked at each other and nodded.
"Aladdin, may we ask you something?" asked Alibaba, so that his little friend looked at him.
This look from him actually betrayed all the questions he had.
But he really wants to be sure that what he suspects is true.
"Can you remember us?"
