Jafar

It was an ordinary day until everything he knew changed, everything was lost and vanished into the void. 

As always, Jafar was working hard to serve the darkness – if he was on his way to devise a new plan to fight his brother, or whether he was looking after his companion, he doesn't know. But what he does know is that his world - his life - is passion, that everything has been destroyed by an energy he can't even describe in words. 

Jafar believe by the  bottom of his heart, that the darkness is the only right way to life. The only true energy to serve. He was once a Priest of the Sun, but found nothing but disappointment. In the end, the darkness captured him and gave him back the peace and freedom in his life. Whatever destroyed his world - it was not the darkness, but something unknown, something strong, something no one can describe. 

He doesn't know what happened to his people, his lovers or his enemies. Everything has disappeared without a trace. He doesn't even know how he survived this tragedy. 

A few months ago, he found himself in a cave in the middle of the desert.  How much time has passed? It didn't take him a second to realise that this was no longer the place he knew. The darkness had left him, but in return he had encountered unknown beasts - here it was impossible to cross the sand and travel by foot. 

On top of all this, he felt more pain than he had ever felt before, he was hungry and thirsty. He was Thired – seems like he became mortal. In past he served Human beings, he was a guardian and when thier human passed or nolonger wished for any help, he returned to his home serving the darkness – a immortal life he lived hundrets of times. 

But now he sat here, starving.  

Jafar was ready to die and disappear, to become the darkness himself, until he discovered something unknown.  

In the cave he found the corpse of a metal beast. No flesh or bone, just metal and that unknown energy - he felt it again. 

 Is this the answer to what happened to his past?  

As he pondered the situation, he heard a small screech from the back of the cave. It was Faisal! his beloved companion - now Jafar was nolonger interested in Experiencing death! He had back his friend – and he was hungry too so they had to find a way out! 

He broke that beasts neck - and used its metal skin to built a knife. 

He broke the beast's neck - and used its metal skin to make a knife.  

Jafar knew hard weeks lay ahead. He would have to fight the sun more than ever befor - but slowly, he knew, his darkness would return. The longer he walked, the further the sun disappeared.  The Night returned slowly,  everyday the night was a few minutes longer and with it creatures appeared - creatures of flesh and bone. The darkness gave him food and drink.  

Three weeks passed before he and Faisal encountered the first civilisation.  It was a poor city - slums, dirt and hopelessnes everywhere.  Jafar knew that the darkness wanted him to bring peace here, to serve these people and lead them to the right path, beacuse here the light doesn't reach the ground. 

This world was similar to his old home, desert ruled the land, people prayed to the light, but here you are - where you live.  

It seems that this world has 3 great seas, and the further you live from the centre, the less you have. It was perfect - perfect for finding new prayers and spreading new hope.  

Take over the hopelessness that lies behind the sun.
