A Tainted Diamond

Summary

What if Princess Jasmine never loved Aladdin? What if she was secretly working alongside Jafar the entire time, and he needed her help to retrieve the magic lamp from the so called 'diamond in the rough?'

One: The Legend

There is an old legend of the desert that states that there is a Cave of Wonders where all the riches of King Solomon have been hidden under the Arabic desert for centuries after his reign. Within this mythical cave of treasures, a magical lamp with the spirit of a true dijinn, or genie, resided, because Solomon imprisoned this spirit for refusing to grant the King more wisdom, powers, and knowledge than he was given by his Creator.


Many travelers and magi have sought after this Cave of Wonders, but few have ever found it, until an ambitious, powerful magi named Jafar found the Eye of Agrabah within the Royal treasury upon his appointment to the position of Grand Vizir after many, many sacrifices, and scheming in Sultan Malmood's court.


He had, of course, heard of the Legend of the Cave of Wonders, but until this moment, he had no way of getting into that damned cave. Until he held the golden scarab in his hands, and felt the residual effects of its power, he had thought that his life ambition would come to naught: to finally retrieve the magical lamp of Solomon.


So it is that our story begins, and it is where a Princess and a Grand Vizir ride deep into the desert to hopefully, retrieve the Lamp of Solomon at long last...
