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

" The thing is… I lost the lamp…" Aladdin laughed awkwardly as the others paused whatever they were doing, their minds trying to process it.

" HUH!!!" Everyone's eyes went as wide as saucers.

Ali Baba, given up on all the manners, spat his drink out. Zarqa was too taken aback to even scold him for that.

" You lost it?" Sindbad asked, dumbstruck.

" I did." Aladdin reaffirmed with a nonchalant smile.

Sindbad bounced on him, grabbing his neck and shaking him violently. " How?! How did you lose a Jinn?"

Aladdin laughed, averting his eyes. " Well… I've kept the lamp in the treasury and… since it was quite stuffed to the brim, I might have failed to notice that I've been robbed… quite a number of times, for that matter… Isn't this strange? This castle is warded up and down against any magician or Jinn… but robbers, though…" He continued to laugh awkwardly.
