Hamurabi (Ham to his friends) trudged through the whipping sand. The distance from the sleeping tents to the dig site was fairly short, but with the desert winds billowing across the sand there was still substantial annoyance in making the trek.

Pushing open the tent flap, Ham ventured down into chamber below. This new dig site was more like a mine, with the chamber with the pharoah and all his treasures buried much deeper than normal. This depth was why his team had been able to find this chamber first, others closer to the surface had already been found years ago.

As the boss finally cracked open the chamber they all looked in with awe. Mounds of jewels, some larger than any previously known of on the surface surrounded the mummy. Precious metals like gold, silver and even platinum also surrounded the room in sheets, armor and unworked hunks. And fallen loosely on the ground, as if the mummy himself had dropped it, was a plain copper oil lamp, turned green with verdigris by the years of corrosion.

All the various workers carefully entered the room, bagging and labelling everything that they found. Presumably some of the most impressive gems would go missing, and appear in some rich persons collection by "unknown" means, and "randomly" the department would receive a large donation, but most would be going to be on display in the museum.

Ham was curious about the one item that seemed not precious in all the hall. Bending down he picked up the corroded copper lamp and tried to brush off the worst of the copper oxide. It would be chemically repaired later, but for now he wanted to see what was special about it.

Suddenly, the world shimmered and vanished into a black void. All that remained was him and the lamp.... and the figure of a genie that billowed out.

"Greetings Mortal! It has been some time since last I was free to give a wish. You have 3 wishes. No asking for deaths, no bringing back to life and no messing with true love. You have 3 minutes to make your wish."

Ham thought rapidly, what did he want? Money? Power? Girls? All of that and more. Adventure and Immortality and the ability to grow to face any challenge. And unlike Jafar, he wasn't going to get vast cosmic power with an itty bitty living space.

"Oh great genie, can I combine my wishes?"

"Yes."

"Then great genie, I wish to be transported to a new world, full of mystery and potential, where I can wish to become a being of power and life unlimited, that cannot be bound to stop its growth or die of age and where I wish to have unlimited followers who would serve my every whim."

"Heh, so the humans can learn.... but perhaps not enough to be truely clever. You shall have your wish, in a whole new world. May you live in interesting times."

The world faded further to black.

When next Ham awoke, he was small gem in a closed off room, to a glowing blue box.

'Welcome to the world of Magin'
