Chapter 1: Fight in the Throne Room
Author's Notes: I don't own Cassim, the gang, Destain, or Mozenrath. Diana, Isabel, Aden, Hassan, Ahmed, Ali, Azul, Jordan, Anna, and Prince Amal are mine.
Cassim struggled against the chains around his wrists as Destain got closer to the small force field. Aden stood in-between his sister and Destain. Destain grabbed Aden by the back of his neck and jerked him out of the force field! The little boy yelled in pain when he did that.
Cassim's anger grew at Destain's abuse. His anger turned to fear as Destain raised the dagger over Aden! He pulled harder against the chains. Destain started to bring the dagger down!
SNAP!
The chains broke off Cassim's wrists, and he leaped straight for Destain!
Too late!
Aden fell to the floor. Cassim landed next to him. He got to his knees and gently picked Aden up. He cradled the toddler close to his chest.
"Daddy?"
"Shhh. I'm here."
"Daddy, I..."
Aden's arms and head fell back limply. Cassim gently rubbed his face against Aden's then lay him back down. A noise made him turn around. Destain held Isabel's body by the back of her neck!
"You should have been paying attention. Perhaps you could have saved her."
Destain cruelly tossed her little body in front of Cassim. He did the same thing he had done to Aden.
"Dad!"
Cassim put Isabel down, whirled around, and leaped towards Destain. He moved a moment too late! Aladdin fell to the floor. Cassim got to his knees again and lifted the upper part of Aladdin's body.
Aladdin stirred slightly at his father's touch.
"Dad?"
"Shhhh. I'm here, Aladdin. I'm here. I'll always be here."
"I'll tell Mom you said hi."
Aladdin's head started to fall back, but Cassim caught it with his left hand and raised it again. Aladdin opened his eyes weakly.
"Stay with me, Aladdin."
"I love you, Dad."
"I love you too, son."
"I'll tell Mom that you love her."
Aladdin's head started to fall back again. Once more Cassim caught it, but this time it was no use. Aladdin's head fell back. Cassim lifted Aladdin towards him, raised the twenty year old's head, bent his own head down, and kissed Aladdin's forhead, something he hadn't done in years!
He gently lay Aladdin down on the floor. He pulled his knees close to his chest, folded his arms over his knees, and began to cry. Instantly the gang knew that Aladdin, Isabel, and Aden were dead!
Cassim contiuned to cry. The cries that came from him were the cries of a broken hearted father. That's what Cassim was! He was a broken hearted father! The cries stopped, but the tears continued to flow down his face uncontrolably.
A cry like a choked animal erupted from Cassim! With his Hand of Midas dagger in his right hand, he lunged at Destain! Destain found himself being tackled by an enraged Cassim!
"Whoa!"
Blinded by his grief and rage, Cassim sought to drive the blade of his dagger into Destain's chest! Destain grabbed his wrist and stopped him. Mozenrath and gang watched in horror as the wrestled for control of Cassim's dagger!
"Mozenrath, do something!"
Mozenrath released the gang from the force field. Jasmine and Diana, with Mozenrath's help, pulled Cassim off of Destain. Cassim sank to the floor, crying again.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry." he sobbed.
"For what?"
"For letting you down. I let you, Aladdin, Iasbel, Aden, and Jasmine down."
"You didn't let us down, Dad."
Cassim whirled around, leaping to his feet as he did.
"Aladdin? Isabel? Aden?"
"The Lord sent us back."
Cassim embraced his children. His tears of sorrow turned to tears of joy.
Chapter 2: All Grown Up
Twelve years had gone by! Cassim and Diana couldn't believe it. Isabel and Aden were now fifteen! Aden had already fallen in love!Cassim and Diana were worried about Isabel. Should they allow suitors to come? Or should they just wait and see if Isabel find love by herself. They decided to do both.
Many suitors came for Isabel. Cassim and Diana greeted them and welcomed them. Aladdin did too, upon being the sultan. Allot of the times Diana would be taking Ali, Aladdin and Jasmine's ten year old son, off to play. Cassim would apologize for his grandson's behaivor and constant questioning.
A year passed with no luck. One day Prince Amal came. He was a tall, handsome young prince. He was about Isabel's age. Cassim greeted him in the throne room.
"Come. My daughter is in her room."
Cassim led Amal to Isabel's room. He knocked on the door.
"Come in."
Cassim entered the room with Amal close behind him.
"Isabel, I've brought.... whoa!"
Isabel was tangled in one of the curtians of her bed!
"How in the world did you get tangled in that?"
"Never mind. Just get me down!"
Cassim chuckled and untangled his daughter from the curtain. She fell only to land right in her father's strong, muscular arms. She got down.
"Thanks, Dad."
Cassim introduced Amal then left them alone. About a half hour later he heard Isabel call for him! He raced to her room and opened the door.
"Isabel!"
Cassim rushed forward, grabbed Amal by his shoulders, and pulled him away from Isabel. He threw the teenage boy back and stood in front of Isabel.
"How dare you violate my daughter?!" he roared.
"What do you mean? Why did you do that?"
"I saw what you were doing to her! Get out of here before I change my mind and call the guards!"
The prince left the room. Cassim pulled off his cape and handed it to Isabel. She wrapped it around herself.
"He destroyed my shirt so I wouldn't be able to put it back on."
Cassim waited until Isabel said he could turn around before he actually did turn around. He saw that tears were trickling down her face.
"Oh, honey."
Isabel went into her father's open arms. Right now all she wanted to feel what her father's strong, muscular arms around her. She didn't want to leave the safety of her father's arms.
Five years later she fell in love and was married. Cassim and Diana were very proud of her.
