Genie of the Puzzle

Prologue

The evening sun beat against your back, beads of sweat dripped down your face, and your weak and tired legs forced you onward, despite your urge to fall to the ground and sleep.

As you look ahead, you catch a glimpse of a camel in the distance. You decide to follow it, and not too soon afterwards, a quiet voice began to sing.

"Oh, I come from a land, from a faraway place, where the caravan camels roam..."

The camel's hooves hit the sandy ground with each step, making the trip to the town in the desert with a passenger upon it.

"Where it's flat and immense and the heat is intense. It's barbaric, but hey, it home! Where the winds from the east and the Suns from the west and the sand in the glass is right.

The sun was setting and the sky turned orange. The heat of day slowly cooled and you could feel your curiosity powering your motivation to keep going.

"Come on down. Stop on by. Hop a carpet and fly to one of our Egyptian nights...."

The town could be seen in the distance. There were little shops and buildings surrounding one big palace in the center of it all.

"Our Egyptian nights like our Egyptian days! More often than not, it's hotter than hot in a lot of good ways!"

Finally the camel and it's rider arrive in the village, where the moon is most visible in the dark sky.

"Our Egyptian nights 'neath our Egyptian moons! A fool off his guard could fall and fall hard out there on the dunes..."

Shadi hopped off the camel and looked at you. "Ah, good evening! Welcome to the fabled city of Agrabah, conveniently kept as the same name in ze movie, despite taking place in a completely different country."

You aren't sure what to say or to think, even though you've come to the conclusion that the author is lazy af.

"Agrabah is a city of mystery, enchantment," He held a lit match, and blew it out, leaving both of you in total darkness.
When you could see again, he was standing behind a wooden cart with an assortment of items. "...and the finest merchandise you can find, on sale today! Iz nice!"

He picked up an object and said, "Ah, what is this? I never seen anything like it. Iz an ancient Egyptian coffee maker! It also makes French fry!" He hit it against the cart, saying, "It will not break—"

"—it broke." He frowned at it's pieces.

You open your mouth to speak but you are quickly cut off.

"Ah, what is this?" He picked up a shoebox, eyeing it closely. "I never seen one of these intact before." He lifted up the lid, slightly, and blew a raspberry like the box should've made the noise. "Ah, still good."

Bored and disappointed that this isn't yaoi, you decided to leave.

"NO, wait!" Shadi stepped in front of you. "I see that you, reader, are only interested in the rarest of items. For instance..." Out of the bag he carried, he pulled out a triangular puzzle. "...this."

"Don't be fooled by its appearance, reader. This is no ordinary puzzle! It once belonged to a man who, like this puzzle, was much more than he seemed..." he thought for a moment, then added, "It also has the gay and the sing song."

Seeing your interest (yep. You're interested and you have no choice in the matter.), Shadi smiled, and asked you "Since you are not Jew, I will tell you the tale..."

Out of the puzzle, from the eye center, came a handful of glitter into Shadi's hand (OMG ITS FILLED WITH GLITTER). "It began..." He said. "On a dark night..."

He tossed it into the air, setting the scene as the glitter took to the sky and became the stars to witness.

"...where a dark man waits...with a dark purpose..."

A/N:

Yay so I changed nothing about this part, other than like...one or two things.

Some songs and parts I will keep the same, but I'm still fixing this story to the best of my ability. So please chill for a lil.
