4th Night: The Magic Lesson

Staring at him in confusion, Aladdin looked through the group.
He didn't know what to answer.
Looking up at the prince again, he looked in his golden eyes.
"Um... S-sorry but... I don't know you," Aladdin stuttered slightly.
Knowing it somehow, he crouched down to look into Aladdin's light blue eyes.
Looking anxiously back and forth, the little one looked back into his eyes as he stared at him all the time.
With a depressing feeling, he ran to his mother and hid behind her.
"Is everything okay, my darling?" she asked him and only got a shake from her son.
"No! He scares me!" said the young prince, so that Alibaba and Morgiana looked at him sadly.
"Let them disappear! They scare me!"
Looking at her husband, he crouched down, took his son's small hand and handed it to Tess.
"Tess, could you go out with Aladdin again? I think that we must talk to them a little longer!" the king begged him.
Nodding, he took his little friend's hand and went out again.
When the door closed again, the dark-haired king sighed and looked at the two guards who were still standing by.
"You two can go again! Wahid and Setta are here, in case anything should happen!" said the king, walking past them and saying that they should keep secret what was happening here.
"Did we understand each other?" he asked her and looked at the two guards with a glance so that they straightened up and said 'Yes'.
When only Solomon, Sheba, Wahid and Setta were left in the room, they went back to the table and asked them to sit there.
Still sad and confused, Alibaba and Morgiana sat down to the table.
"Somehow I already suspected it ... His look said many words ..." said the 17-year-old young man and now looked at the king, who put his elbows on the table, on which he rested his head.
"I don't ask you to tell me everything about the 'forgotten world'! The only thing we want to know is from where and how you met my son!" said the king, so that the two looked at each other.
"Well, we don't know for sure! We only recently remembered Aladdin again!" said Alibaba and agreed with his girlfriend next to him.
"All we know is that he is everyone's best friend!"
Looking at her, Solomon turned back again and nodded in understanding.

Meanwhile, Aladdin and Tess went into the prince's large room.
Throwing himself on the big cozy bed, he looked over at his friend, who opened the patio door.
"But those were two strange birds!" said the 14-year-old, so that the 10-year-old only nodded in agreement.
Now sitting on the bed, Aladdin looked up at the white blanket and thought about the question of what the young man was asking him.
"Tell me, Tess? Could it be that I met her back then?" he asked his brother, who stared at him in confusion.
"What do you mean?" he asked.
Aladdin grabbed an oversized pillow and laid his head on it.
"Yes, five years ago ... When 'that' happened! Could it be that I met her there?" he asked again.
Holding his hand to his chin, he thought for a moment and then shook his head.
Telling him that he can't remember if the two of them were with him, Aladdin looked disappointed at the white pillow.
He continued to think about where he should get to know the two from, but then put his hand to his temple when a hellish pain appeared.
"(Where do I know them from?)"

"I see!" said Solomon, when Alibaba and Morgiana tried to tell him how they had met him.
"We can't remember anything more! If we try, we only see small excerpts, but they are not quite visible!" said Alibaba and thanked Sheba when she conjured up something for them to drink.
Nodding, he got up from his chair and went to the large window, where you could see a beautiful garden.
"We don't know if Aladdin will ever remember you! But you know him! I believe you!" he said and looked over at the two of them.
"That's why I'm leaving you here in the palace!"
Looking at the king, Wahid and Setta rose to ask if he meant this.
Nodding, he went back to the two, who had a happy face.
"You should get to know him again! This Aladdin you told me about is no longer the one you once knew!" said Solomon.
"Our Aladdin has no magic and cannot see the Rukh! Even though he's our son, he can't do it!" said Solomon.
"Do you know why he can't use magic?" Alibaba asked him, so that they just shook their heads.
"In the beginning, he was still able to do a little magic! He was still a toddler then!" said Sheba.
"But since what happened five years ago, he doesn't seem to be able to do it anymore ..."
Looking at each other questioningly, Alibaba and Morgiana asked what exactly happened to them five years ago.
The group looked at each other before Solomon answered.
"Aladdin was kidnapped by someone when he was walking through the bazaar alone!"
Looking at him in shock, the king continued.
"We searched for him for a whole year and found him streaming blood in a hut deep in the forest!"
"Oh God!" said the two, holding their hands to their mouths.
Nodding, he said that this was a huge shock for us as well.
"He was in a coma for about 2 years! We brought the best and strongest healing mages to heal him!"
"But something bothered him, which is why he was in a coma for two years ..." Sheba said and was comforted by her husband when she began to cry.
"Everyone thought they would never wake up! But when he opened his eyes last year, we all beamed with joy and hugged him!" said Setta, now looking at Wahid, who said that he could not remember them.
"He couldn't do that?" Alibaba asked in shock and looked at the king, who nodded his head.
"As soon as he does not know you, he no longer recognized us! We worked for half a year to make him recognize us again!"
"When he saw Tess doing magic, he ran to him joyfully and wanted to do magic too!" said Wahid, so that everyone nodded.
They said that training with Tess made him remember them and became the one they knew.
Nodding in understanding, Alibaba lit up when an idea came to him.
"Well, if Aladdin can remember when he does magic... or at least it tries... Then he'll remember us too, won't he!?" he asked the royal couple, beaming, who were looking at each other.
"Unfortunately, we don't know exactly, Alibaba! It may also be that he will never remember you! That's why I suggest that you get to know him first! We'll see what happens then when it comes!" said Solomon and then went with his queen, as they had been talking to each other for hours, towards the door.
"Wahid and Setta show you where you can spend the nights! See you tomorrow!" bowed the king, where the queen only made a small curtsy before they left the room.

As they walked through the corridors of the palace, Alibaba and Morgiana marvelled at the walls.
So many pictures and engravings beamed out that they still can't believe they're here.
"What! You really plan to leave us tomorrow?!" the white-haired man asked the purple-haired man, who only nodded and replied that otherwise he would only do things that were actually his job.
"Oh man! I was so happy to have you here again! Do you know how exhausting it is to take care of two children who keep running away and don't listen to you?!"
"I saw that today. You'd better leave Aladdin to Ugo and take care of your own son. After all, it's him who talks some nonsense into the princes' heads," Setta said and looked back once to make sure that the two teenagers were following them.
"Tess is a little idiot! I kept telling him to learn magic with the prince so that one day he would be as great as his father and mother!" Wahid shouted and clapped his hands together, so that Alibaba and Morgiana flinched in horror.
"But this boy just won't listen to me! Aladdin doesn't travel together the way I wanted him to!"
"Could it be that you oppress him and therefore he still cannot see the Rukh?" his comrade asked and looked at him.
"Uh... Of course! Only with hard work can you control and master magic!"
Then the 33-year-old sighed and stopped together with Wahid in front of a door and looked at the two.
As he opened the door, the elder went into the room and said that this was her chamber.
When Alibaba and Morgiana went in, their eyes shone like stars.
"Wow! What a luxury! Everything shines like gold!" said the blond-haired man and looked around thoroughly.
"And the beds. They're so big and fluffy," the redhead said calmly and sat carefully on the bed, almost being devoured by the down.
Laughing at this, Setta and Wahid helped her out of her clutches and said that this was the most luxurious guest room their visitors would get.
"Of course, the rooms of the royal family and ours are much more luxurious than the guest rooms!" said Wahid and slapped Alibaba's shoulder hard, so that he tilted slightly forward and grabbed his shoulder.
"(That was directly ... Is the strong ...)"
"What Wahid actually meant by that is that you can go anywhere except a few rooms. As long as the king and queen don't show them to you themselves, you won't be allowed to go there," Setta said calmly and showed the two teenagers a map of the castle, where some rooms were red and others blue or green.
Nodding, understanding what he meant, they then looked at the two men who wanted to leave them alone again.
"So, if you need anything, pull this cord. Then a servant will come and bring you what you want," said the purple-haired man and then left the two with his comrade.
Nodding friendly, Alibaba then went to the terrace that showed the garden of the palace.
Looking up at the sky, he smiled.
"What are you happy about?" Morgiana asked him, who then looked at her with a smile.
"That Aladdin is doing well! I am pleased! Even if he can't remember us, I'm still glad to see him!" said the prince and then looked up at the sky again.
"We'll find a solution so that he can remember us!" he smiled.
Morgiana also smiled and looked up at the sky.
"How cute! Are you looking for a solution to get him back! I'm already in tears!" a person grinned gloomily above them, so that the two were startled and stared up.
But there was no one there.
Now staring at each other questioningly, they looked up again.
"Did you ... feel that too?" the blond-haired man asked his girlfriend, who nodded.
"Yes! A dark and frightening aura shone down on us!"
Continuing to look over her, they went back into the room and closed the door.

In the evening, at the other end of the corridors, a pink-red-haired young woman ran to her son's room.
Carefully, she knocked on the door and opened it when she only got a soft 'Hm.'.
"Aladdin, you weren't at the table tonight to eat your cake," Sheba said and sat down on the little prince's bed.
"Is everything okay?" she asked him, who was hiding under the covers.
Waiting for an answer, she put the piece kitchen on his bedside table and asked if it was because of today what happened.
Nodding, Sheba looked at the white ceiling.
"You don't have to be afraid of the two! They are very friendly! That's what their Rukh will show me!" she said with a smile.
But Aladdin pulled his blanket further over his head.
Looking at him, she threw herself backwards and lay on top of the little prince, who was fidgeting around and said that she was heavy.
"Get off me, Mom! You're too heavy!" he screamed and then laughed when his mother tickled him.
"What did you just say!?" she asked, giggling, tickling the young prince, who kicked off his blanket and said with tears in his eyes that it was too heavy.
"Well, wait, you cheeky rascal! You'll get even more tickling for that!" laughed his mother and tickled the boy until he apologized.
"Listen to Mom! This is... That... I am sorry! I'm sorry!" the young prince giggled.
"Are you really serious!?" the queen grinned and tickled her son further.
"Yes! I'm serious! Please stop!" he giggled and tried to breathe again when his mother stopped tickling him.
Looking at her with an evil grin, the queen only looked at him with a victorious grin.
"You're really mean! Do you know that?" he asked her, who only looked at him with a slight shrug of the shoulders.
When tempers calm down, Aladdin slides over to his mother, causing his legs to float off the bed.
Taking the cake that his mother brought him, he looked at her when she asked him again if everything was okay.
Swallowing the piece, he looked at his cake and shook his head slightly.
"Is it because of the two who showed up today?"
Nodding his head, he took a piece of the cake and ate it.
Looking at the wall, the queen looked at him again when he said that he felt a strange stinging in his head when he tried to remember where he met her from.
"But nothing comes! Just this pain in the head ..." said Aladdin, looking sadly at the empty plate.
Not knowing what to answer, Sheba looked at the wall again and remembered what happened two years ago.
"Can you remember where you didn't recognize your daddy and me?" she asked her son, who looked up at her.
"Yes, I can."
"How did you feel when you tried to recognize us?" Sheba asked him with a smile.
Staring briefly at the wall, he said that he had the same stabbing as with the two of them.
"So that means?"
"That I know the two of them!"
Smiling at him nodding, she said that the two of them apparently only remembered him recently.
Looking at his mother, he was amazed when she explained that they had told a lot of things they remembered.
"They can't remember everything. The only thing they can remember is you!" she said, looking at her son with her pink eyes.
"You must be a kind of support for her! If it weren't for you, they would most likely not remember anything and wander around aimlessly!" she said with a smile and put her hand on her son's blue hair.
Looking with bulging eyes, he asked if he could see the two again, nodding with a smile and saying that they were staying here in the palace.
Jumping off the bed and rushing to them, his mother stopped and said that it was too late now.
"You'll see her again tomorrow!" looking at her, he nodded with a smile and went back to bed.
Covering him, the queen sat on the bed and waited until he fell asleep.
"Are you looking forward to tomorrow's hours?" she asked her son and brushed a few strands from his face.
"Not really..." he said with a gloomy look.
"But I hope that I can finally do magic with the divine staff!" Aladdin said with a smile on his face.
Even before he fell asleep, he asked her where his father was.
"You know him. He is again busy with something that has aroused his curiosity. In something like that, he is and will remain a little child," Sheba sighed and then looked at her son, who was giggling.
"Sometimes I wonder why you're together at all. Dad seems so serious and direct from time to time that I always think that he doesn't love you and me at all. But if something like that arouses his curiosity or something else, then I know again why you are such a great team," Aladdin said with shining eyes and looked at the queen with a big smile.
"I hope that one day I can find someone with whom I can form such a great team as the two of you are!"
Sheba beamed and turned a little red around her cheeks.
"You should sleep now. Tomorrow, you have lessons again," she said, got up from the bed and gave the little prince a kiss on the forehead.
"Your father and I love you and it will always stay that way. Sleep well, my little darling."
"Good night, Mom. And please tell Dad, too."
Smiling, she nodded, opened the door and turned off the light in her son's room.
"Sleep well."

"|Please... Please help me!|"

With wide eyes, Aladdin stared at the white ceiling above him.
"Again, this dream ..." he said, and sat down.
Looking at the window, where a light wind came and made the white curtains flicker, he knocked off the blanket and went out onto the terrace.
"This voice ... She sounded so divine..." he said and stared up at the sky.

Raising his arms and moaning loudly, Alibaba looked at his girlfriend, who complained that he was too loud.
"I'm sorry! The bed is just so comfortable that I felt like I was lying on a cloud!" he grinned and stretched again.
"But do you have to moan so loudly for that?" she asked, still with her eyes closed.
With an eyebrow up, he stared at Morgiana and said that he didn't know her at all.
But to answer something, the prince got off the bed and opened the patio door just to go out.
"This fate is just perfect!" said Alibaba and then saw Aladdin standing to the left, who was still looking dreamily at the sky.
Staring at him, he didn't know what to do and just stared at him.
"(He looks so lost in thought!)" Alibaba thought and was startled when the young prince looked at him and, for only a fraction of a second, saw him in a different form.
Now looking at him himself, he waved as he wished him a 'Good morning'.
"Good morning, Aladdin! How... Have you been asleep?" he asked cautiously.
He wasn't sure if he would give him an answer.
But he looked over at him slightly shocked when he heard him answer that it was like that.
"I've been reading a little too long," he said and now asked him how he had slept.
"Me? So, I slept wonderfully! The bed feels like you're lying on a cloud!" said Alibaba grinning.
"Do you think so? Well, I don't find it so comfortable!" said Aladdin and now went to the right railing to talk better with the older prince.
Tilting his head, he said that he came from the royal house of Saluja after all.
"Aren't there such beds there as here?" he asked him and tilted his head a little to the side.
Now remembering that he had lived in the royal family, he said that there were already soft beds.
"Only they are not as fluffy as your beds," he laughed, whereupon the little prince also laughed a little.
"Why are you here at all? Your family is in Balbadd! Shouldn't you be with them?" he asked, wiggling his legs a little as he pulled himself up a little on the railing.
Staring at him questioningly and confusedly, he thought that his family no longer existed after all... Or is it?
When the 10-year-old prince asked him again, he laughed that he was here on behalf of the palace.
"(Oh man! You couldn't come up with a better lie!)" he complained in his head.
Feeling that Aladdin was staring at him, he then saw a smile on his face.
"You're really weird!"
"Huh? Why am I strange!?" he asked him, so that Aladdin giggled a little.
"Hihihi! If you were on behalf of your country, you would have to have an ID card so that you could get in at all!" he giggled, so that the older one blushed and grumbled that he didn't have one now.
Aladdin only had to giggle more, so that he accidentally bent over the railing and fidgeted when he threatened to fall down.
"AHHHHH!" he screamed and fidgeted to return again.
"ALADDIN!" Alibaba shouted, and was ready to jump to his terrace.
But when he saw his father, he went back to his point of view.
"Phew! That was close!" Aladdin smiled and then startled when he heard his father.
"How many times did your mother and I tell you not to hang over the railing?" his father asked him as he released his power spell, keeping Aladdin from falling.
Tapping his fingers in front of him, he said they said it 20 times and didn't look at his father.
"Now it's the 21st time! When will you learn that you can't float to prevent the fall!" he said, crouched down and put his to his forehead.
"If something happened to you, your mother and I could never forgive each other," he said.
Now with a pout, he said that he was sorry and that he wouldn't do it again.
But Solomon knew that he would do it again, so he only sighed slightly, smiled at him and stood up again.
Telling his son to get ready for breakfast, he thanked Alibaba, who was ready to save him.
"Oh! That wouldn't have been a problem!" he laughed bashfully and then went back into the room when the king nodded away.
Closing the door, he smiled and thought about their little conversation.
"Hmm! Through him, I was able to see a small piece of my past, which I spent in the forgotten time! Very interesting!"

When Aladdin had got ready for the magic class, he went to the dining room and became a little embarrassed when everyone looked at him.
Every time he went somewhere where there are a lot of people, he didn't feel comfortable.
Unless he is disguised so that no one recognizes him.
He went to his father, who left his room before him and saved him from the case.
Sitting down between his parents, he looked over at Tess, who staggered to him.
Alibaba and Morgiana were also sitting with him, looking at him.
He staggered back briefly, but felt the gaze of the others, so he looked at his lap.
"Go to them," Sheba whispered to her son, who was looking at her.
"Don't worry! You're still getting used to the looks of others!" the king said with a grin, so that Aladdin and Sheba stared at him with a monotonous look.
Now looking again at his mother, who nods with a smile, the little prince rose, took his divine staff and went to the three.
"Somehow, Aladdin shines brighter! Don't you think so, Solomon?" she asked her husband, who nodded.
"Is it because of them?"

"You look sleepy! Have you rummaged through the books for too long again?" Tess asked his little brother, who sat next to them and stared at him monotonously.
"One of us has to learn! And if you don't, I'll have to learn for you!" he said and then giggled when he saw Tess's gaze.
"You little one ...! Just a reminder; I have the magic! But you don't, which is why you have to learn a lot more than I do!" he said and then screamed 'ouch' when his father hit him on the head.
"You have as much to learn as the prince!" cried his father.
Holding his head and complaining that it hurt, they fought each other, with Aladdin, Alibaba and Morgiana just laughing.
Now grabbing something to eat, Aladdin looked at the young man next to him with his mouth stuffed.
"May I know what exactly kind of book you are reading?" he asked him kindly, so that the little prince chewed and fished the book out of his pocket.
"This!" he said with his mouth full and then looked at his brother that one must not speak with a full mouth.
"But you do that too!" he said.
"You don't always have to imitate me! Be yourself!"
"But that's just the way I am!" he said, swallowed the food and then looked at Alibaba, who was trying to read the book.
"I ... I don't understand anything!" he said and looked down at the smaller ones, who said that this was also written in Torran.
"Besides, you should be able to read it! Or don't you learn the Torran language in the palace of Balbadd?" he asked, taking a sip from his cup.
Staring at him, he now looked at the 14-year-old, who was also staring at him questioningly.
"Um... So... I skipped the lessons where you learned Toran!" he laughed, so that the two boys just stared at each other.
Taking the book from his hand again, Aladdin put it back into the pocket he was carrying.

When they finished their breakfast, Aladdin and Tess jumped up to go to the garden.
However, they stopped when they heard Wahid say that there would be a beating if they were not there.
"Beatings ..." the two asked and then ran off to be there.
Looking after them with a smile, they looked at Tess's father, who ordered them to take care of the two good ones, otherwise they threatened to be beaten.
Alibaba and Morgiana immediately jumped up from their seats and ran after the two magicians.
When the 4 reached the garden, Alibaba and Morgiana were amazed by the beauty of the garden.
Everywhere there were flowers that gave off an incredibly beautiful fragrance, a large fountain and a pond containing small fish.
"How beautiful!" the two said and then looked at Tess, who said that this is a feast for the eyes.
"This garden has been determined by all those who live in Alma Torran as one of the most beautiful places in the world! Anyone who has an ID card can go here and just enjoy the beauty!"
"Or fight each other!" Aladdin smiled and walked to a large platform.
"What do you mean?" they asked him and watched him go to a large platform to climb on it.
But before he could, he got a lightning strike and then fell to the ground.
"Oh God, Aladdin!" shouted his two former friends and ran to him, while his brother only went to them.
"Are you okay?" they asked anxiously, looking at the young prince, who was lying on his back with wide eyes and still trembling.
"Shallal" a voice sounded behind them, so that a waterfall poured down over the boy.
"Pfffff!" Aladdin spat so that the two who were still over the boy got water in their faces.
"Tell me, are you crazy!? I could have drowned!" Aladdin screamed and quickly mounted himself.
"Why do you just go to the platform? You know very well that there is a protective spell that a non-mage shoots with lightning!" said Tess, tapped his death against the spell and dissolved it.
"But that's no reason to shoot water in my face ... Especially not a waterfall!" the boy grumbled at him, got up from his seat and shook the water away.
"Ugh! I'm all wet!" Aladdin complained as he walked onto the platform.
Still staring in shock, Alibaba and Morgiana looked over at Tess, who asked them if she wanted to go in too.
Nodding, they ran to them and were amazed that the spell appeared again.
"After a minute, the protective spell that protects the garden appears again! That's why it's so big, so that several magicians can train here or fight against each other!" the young man explained to them and then said that during a fight you should rather look outside.
Looking at the young prince, who was still trying to make his clothes dry somehow, he looked offended at his brother, who said that this would be a good opportunity to conjure up heat spells.
Looking at him insensitively, he said that he was funny.
"I can't conjure up a heat spell! Besides, I should try to do magic with the Rukh first!" he said silently, so that his brother waved his hand and asked him if he wouldn't like to dry it.
"Yes, I would like to! Only..."
"Then use the heat spell! It only has to be a small one!"
Growling that he didn't want to understand, Aladdin grabbed his wet bag and walked away from the group.
"Don't get on my nerves, stupid head!" he snapped at him and walked so far away that he can no longer hear her.
"What have I done wrong again?" asked Tess.
"Maybe because you forced him to do something he can't do?" Alibaba asked, hitting the nail on the head.

While the three were talking in the distance, Aladdin grumbled around and put down his bag.
"Woe betide the books are wet! Then he'll get a beating from me!" he said and fished out the three books.
Exhaling with relief, he looked above him when he heard laughter.
Recognizing the faces, he looked embarrassed at the floor.
"Who do we have here? Isn't that our little friend?" asked the black-haired young man, so that Aladdin held his staff tighter in his hands.
Looking down at him with a frown, he leaned over and marvelled at the staff he was holding.
"So, so! So, this is what the divine staff of the holy Magi Sheba looks like! Give it to me!" grinned the young man.
Looking at him, the young prince pressed his staff tighter against his chest and shook his head.
"I'm not allowed to do that. Mom told me that only I can carry it," he said and was then pushed to the ground when he scattered himself against giving his staff, one of which belonged to his beloved mother, to the boys.
"What a rude rascal you are! I prayed you nicely to lend it to me and you don't even want it!" he said and stared down with a scowl at the little prince, who trembled and held the staff tighter.
He had a strange feeling about the boy, which is why he didn't want to hand over the staff to him.
Now stepping on the young prince's hand, he cried out and let go of the staff.
Hearing his scream, Alibaba, Morgiana and Tess ran to see why he had screamed.
But when the two recognized the boy with the jet-black hair and stopped because of it, Tess only shouted what they were doing here.
"Haven't you finished teaching magic here, Khan?" Tess asked him and helped his little brother up.
With a small healing spell, he healed Aladdin's hand and looked again at pitch-black haired young man, who only grinned darkly.
"You did that too, Tess! Or is it!? Your magic is much stronger than anyone else's! If not ... stronger than from a Magi!"
Suddenly, an ominous aura shone from the boy, which made Alibaba and Morgiana tremble.
"What ... this feeling ... I've felt this fear before...!" said Alibaba, so Morgiana nodded.
"They ... is so depressing ..."
With a blank stare, he looked at his little brother to see if his hand still hurt.
He shook his head so that he smiled at him briefly and then looked back at Khan.
"Give him back his staff!" he ordered.
Looking at him briefly, he grinned and asked what would happen if he didn't give him back.
"Then I'll hit you in the face so green and blue that you don't know if it's morning or evening!" he threatened the young man, who just stared at him with a sinister grin.
Aladdin, clinging to Tess's robe, he looked at the 15-year-old boy, who still had such a sinister broad grin.
A small gust of wind blew over them and Alibaba had a bad premonition of what could happen and wanted to tell him not to provoke him because something bad was going to happen.
But he could not move, let alone call to him.
Pressing Aladdin's divine staff more firmly into his hand, he looked briefly at the young prince and then again at the 14-year-old, who stared at him menacingly.
"Hmm! I don't feel like it! Here you have the fucking staff!" Khan said grinning and threw it at Aladdin's feet.
Running past, him, the young man told him that he should take good care of him.
"Not that the tragedy of five years ago will happen again!" he grinned and then walked on with his eyes closed.
Looking behind him speechlessly, he then looked at Aladdin.
