Dive back in time, to the depths of the desert, and watch the old stories unfold before your eyes. A story of treasure hunting, betrayal, and destiny. 

When a gruesome future is all you see, how can you change it? 

When you're foretold to fail, how should you move on?

Zarqa, the girl who saw beyond time, sought to find answers.

--------------------------


Legend says that Zarqa had sharp eyes that could look far away in the distance. But what if that wasn’t the end of it, what if her eyes were seeing far beyond not only space, but time? What if Zarqa was blessed with a prophecy, one that could save her dying village from destruction? 

Just as they thought they had no way to survive, Zarqa learns of a way to protect her village from demolition. Naturally, no one believed her, for no one but the Almighty could see beyond the present. 

They forgot the Almighty offers knowledge to those whom he deems of worth. And Zarqa was one of them. Having to trudge an arduous path and go through a great adventure, Zarqa seeks to find the solution to all of their problems, a treasure said to have the power to change all. 

Pitted against magical traps and the mysteries of the deserts, she finds unexpected company in Ali Baba, the poor kid with the sticky fingers, and his crow Morjana...

Please don't let the first paragraphs fool you. This isn't a story from the first person's POV.

ZARQA

That also meant that the sword was out of its bounds and that Hassan had full control over his right hand. With so much as a swing of his arm, he managed to push the boy back with ease and jumped backward, not keen on being bound by the chains again.

Masrur stood up before the kid as he climbed to his feet like some large shield, weapon held up in his hand as a threat to whoever might dare to approach. " What are you doing here?!"

He couldn't wait for an answer as the archers let loose their arrows.

Masrur's eyes narrowed as he hauled Ali Baba in one arm and rushed further from them, a tail of darts following in their wake.

He dropped the boy after a few paces and picked up a fallen body from the ground, using it as a shield against the rain of arrows.
