"Oh I come from a land
From a faraway place
Where the caravan camels roam
Where they cut off your ear/ Where it's flat and immense
If they don't like your face/ And the heat is intense
It's barbaric, but hey- it's home!
When the wind's at your back
And the sun's from the west
And the sand in the glass is right
Come on down,
Stop on by
Hop a carpet and fly
To another Arabian night!

Arabian nights
Like Arabian days
More often than not
Are hotter than hot
In a lot of good ways

Arabian nights
'Neath Arabian moons
A fool off his guard
Could fall and fall hard
Out there on the dunes."

A Dusk sang as he rode a camel through the desert on his way to Castle Oblivion.

(A/N: I know the camera moves during this part so I'm going to actually going to write it like you are in a play, only for this part though.)

"Ah, Salaam and a good evening to you worth friend. Please, please, come closer—" You move closer to him "Too close, a little too close." You move back a bit. "There. Welcome to Castle Oblivion. City of mystery, of enchantment, and the finest merchandise this side of the river Jordan, on sale today, come on down! Heh, heh. Look at this! Yes! Combination hookah and coffee maker—also makes Julienne fries. Will not break." He says as he taps it on the table "Will no—" It falls apart. "—it broke. Ooohhh! Look at this!" He pulled out some Tupperware. "I have never seen one of these intact before. This is the famous Dead Sea Tupperware. Listen." He pries it open, and makes a raspberry sound. "Ah, still good." You begin to walk a bit to the right. He hurries to catch you.

"Wait, don't go!" You stop. "I can see that you're only interested in the exceptionally rare. I think then, you would be most rewarded to consider... this." The Dusk pulls out the magic lamp out from his sleeve. "Do not be fooled by it's commonplace appearance. Like so many things, it is not what is outside, but what is inside that counts." You walk away slower to the left. Again the Dusk rushes to catch up with you.

"This is no ordinary lamp! It once changed the course of a young man's life. A young man who liked this lamp was more than what he seemed. A nobody with a heart. Perhaps you would like to hear the tale?" The Dusk pours shiny sand from the lamp into his hand. "It begins on a dark night..." The Dusk throws the sand into the sky, where it forms a starry night scape. ", where a dark man waits, with a dark purpose.

!i!i!i!

Sitting on a horse is Vanitas and Ansem a parrot on his shoulder. Shadow Sora comes riding up to the pair.

"You... are late." Vanitas says.

"A thousand apologies, O patient one." Shadow Sora said.

"You have it, then?"

"I had to slit a few throats to get it." Shadow Sora pulls out half of a medallion keyblade. Vanitas reaches out for it, but Shadow Sora yanks it back. "Ah, Ah, Ahhh! The treasure!" Ansem squawks as he flies by and grabs the medallion. "Ouch!"

"Trust me, my pungent friend." Vanitas said. "You'll get what's coming to you."

"What's coming to you! Awk!" Ansem repeats. Vanitas pulls out the second half of the medallion. He connects them, and the keyblade medallion begins to glow. Finally, it flies out of Vanitas' hand, scaring the horses, and is off towards the dunes.

"Quickly, follow the trail!" All ride off, following the glowing speck of light, until it reaches a large dune. It separates into two and the halves plunge into the dune. All that remains are two glowing points of light on the dune. But then the dune begins to rise up, transforming into a giant lion's head, with the glowing points serving as the eyes.
