One Thousand and One Lovers: An Aladdin Adaptation.

The Emperor is hungry, we feed him

The Emperor is thirsty, we give him water

The Emperor wants war, we give him women

There is heaven on Earth, then, there is Coin City. The Emperor has treated me so wel . The palace, located at the center of Coin City is an impressive complex. Made out of big square 133

stones bathed in gold. Big stairs at the center containing 101 steps leading to a 10 meter high entrance where red curtains fal showing the Tantra’s flag with a lion eating an eagle. The palace has many palm trees around it and several towers. Palace itself must be around 16 square kilometers, fitting in a perfect square. Hovercrafts may land in the many ports it has. It fol ows a pyramidal shape but the top is not pointy. It is truncated on a flat top roof with an impressive and elegant lounge and bar where powerful people, businessmen, celebrities and the emperor itself have their fun time. Behind the palace there is an erected statue of our lion eating the eagle so high it is double of the size of the palace going almost 200 meters in the air. Coin City is like belonging to another civilization. There are no tal buildings al owed for the palace would be eclipsed under the cityline, so instead the city goes on and on for miles under the same strict architecture. Since there are no tal buildings, hovercrafts are not so abundant but we use hovers in the ground. There is also a big wal surrounding the city as it is used in Tantra but there is nothing outside of it. No suburbs. People come from al over the world (Not from Brodel obviously) to visit the city. Amazed by the sight of horses, camels, the Emperor’s Palace, Lion statue, and at night it comes very alive with the many nightclubs where celebrities take part.

Very expensive and very worth it.

The Emperor is a big man. I mean big to the sides. Man titties, feeds and laughs like a baby. He is almost 4 meters tal and weighs around 200 kg. Sitting in the main chamber he receives vast quantities of food over the day and gives some time to manage the war in the East. But above al , he appreciates women. He has unlimited lovers which rotate constantly. He barely keeps them for more than a month and always has around 10 of them at the same time. Except for Alyd , his favorite one has been with him for a few years. Recently she was chosen by him to select and admit the new lovers that come and go almost every day.

She aligns hundreds of them in a single line, al of them completely naked.

“You’re too fat, lose weight and come back, you’re too short, tits to smal or too big, too this, too that.” but among 3 or 4 rejections always comes a “You, take step forward. You also take a step forward”. She sends the other ones home for them to try again, since the ones that are chosen enjoy a life of luxury while living at the palace. Then Alyd inspects the ones she chose closely.

She feels their breasts, thighs, glutes. Sometimes she kisses them for she knows how the Emperor likes them adn even sometimes she examines how they get wet. Then she schedules al of them one or two days a week, intervaling them to serve the Emperor.

The Emperor must be happy. And this is where I come in. I’m in charge of scouting Tantra and bringing in girls. Usual y from the suburbs outside the cities but sometimes from the inside of the 134

wal s as wel . but the gorgeous ones, are from the outside. Everyone has their price. There are other scouts who dedicate themselves for special rich women. They pay their families vast quantities for the Emperor to have them for some nights. Other scouts negotiate with celebrities as wel , but that isn't so necessary. The real enjoyable girls are the ones that suffer from the lack of luxury. The ones outside the wal s. The ones surrounded by misery and death. They come in for the thousands and they’re my specialty. Oh, they are. Once I spot one of them, I send the royal transport to col ect her. They pay me per girl and I am making savings for a house with a view to the palace. I need to col ect 10,000 girls for it and I'm almost done. I am provided with a royal carriage and once outside Coin City I can use it until 200 meters above sea level. I love the view but hovers aren’t al owed to lift in the air more than a few meters back in Coin unless it is for parking, work or a very narrow perimeter around the Palace. So right now I'm enjoying the high view leaving Coin City behind. I bring snacks and hash with me. Tantra is a big desert and what I like about deserts are the big dunes. Far away from cities the dunes can get as high as buildings. Hash let me see them as they have life of their own but there is a shiny little piece of something getting in my view. Weird, what could it be?

I continue my journey which usual y takes about two weeks. Red City, White City, Blue City, Gray City, Crimson City, Gold City, Soul City, Emerald City, Sapphire City, Stone City, Light City, Shine City and Fur City. Black and Blue Cities are a warzone as of right now. Tantra takes them then loses it, like a dance that has been over for some months now. Better stay away. Girls, girls, girls, everywhere and always as if they are some sort of currency. I’m not gonna lie, sometimes i try them for myself before completing the deal. I offer them hash, show them the money and pictures of the food and luxury the palace offers. Almost 100% say yes. The only ones that decline are usual y mothers who won’t abandon their sons. Then I send transport for them and they are picked up some days later. After they are done (Emperor releases her or they are free to go back whenever they like) there is no transport back and they aren’t paid anything.

Basical y the payment is the lifestyle they get during their service. Almost al of them have a hard time going back. I get to make these trips around 4 times a year and get paid a decent amount enough to save and get by. Life is good.

As I finish my journey I smoke hash again, 200 meters up in the sky watching the sundown and the dunes and there it is again, the shiny little piece of something in the dunes. Lost since centuries not touched by any man in ages. I decided to go down. Desert may be dangerous.

There are the desert people who are said to be cannibals, God knows who other fairy monster creatures are there as wel . I get out of my hover and reach for this object. What is a lamp doing in the middle of the desert? As soon as I touched it, the sunset transformed into night with bright 135

stars and a ful moon and some cool dude appeared in front of me hovering in a flying carpet Sick! Am I this high?

“Thank you for releasing me from the tiny lamp for I've been there almost one thousand years”

He said. “Oh I see you have hovercrafts” He looked at the royal hover.

“It is the fifth time I've seen you humans use hovers. Last time you made it to the moon but you extinguished yourselves with senseless wars, so tel me little boy, have you reached the moon in your current civilization?”

“Umm ..” I said. “Wel , we reached Mars and umm … we are planning for Jupiter’s moons”

“Impressive!!” He said as if it was an achievement for himself “Now little, dude, i wil grant you one wish for that”

“For releasing you? Real y?” i asked amazed

“Wel , not exactly for release, inside there is my own kingdom with our own cities in which I live very happily, there are no wars unlike here and everything we want is an immediate manifestation. Granting a wish in this realm of yours is more like an … um … a synchronicity of fate. So, one thousand years here is more like a couple of years for me there. so think wel little dude, i am a creature of God and i have the feeling there are not much more of this events anymore around you”

“Certainly not,” I said. “I do not understand a single word you said but i have a wish”

“I am al years little skinny dude”

“I wish to enjoy women in the hundreds as the Emperor does” it was a saying straight from the heart.

“You got it kid, i only need you to sign this contract with my Phoenix feather pen, saying that you’re over 18 years old and that i don't take any responsibility for any mental disorder this may lead”

I was about to grab the pen and sign without even reading.

“HAHA alright little dude, if that is your wish, let it be my command”

He finished speaking and he got back to the lamp then it vanished from my sight.

I was left alone in the desert. I got in the hover and lifted in the air. Remained there for half an hour just meditating, thinking about everything. When I got back to my place someone knocked on the door. Alyd appeared on the other side.

“May I come in?” She said,

“Sure Alyd , what brings you here? Did everything go wel with my candidates?” I confess I was a little afraid of her visit. There are two possibilities for her being here at this time in the night.
