In a flash, Arash Zayed is transported into a cage. It is not too far from Noor, the peri’s. She looks at him with compassion and pity. Just like her, he is a captive of Javad the Sorcerer now.
Zayed’s still alive, which means the sorcerer still needs him: something bad, no doubt. “My sultan sent me to trade with you, Javad the Elder. There is no need for this,” he attempts.
The booming voice of the old man booms through the room. “To trade? You expect me to believe that. Tell me exactly what it is the sultan said to you.”
Zayed repeats the sultan’s order. “I would meet a wise man and trade with him for an unknown treasure.”
“And this did not make you wonder about your mission?”
“Of course it did, but I did not want to disobey.”
“Did you recognize what he wants?”
“I imagine Noor is the prize he has his eye on.”

Zayed is caught. He doesn’t know if the peri is what his sultan wants, although it’s not hard to imagine. A magical creature like that costs more than even his ruler has. It’s obvious Javad is no fool and very dangerous. Playing games with him will not end well for the merchant. “Javad the Elder, I apologize.”
“For what?”
“I have set free your rukh and have entered your palace uninvited. I was so caught up with my mission that I forgot my place and my manners.”
The sorcerer is silent for a moment. “I was bored with the bird anyway. I accept your apology.”
“Is it possible that the prize my sultan is seeking is not the peri, but the wisdom of a sorcerer?”
“Flattery, eh? Not bad, little merchant. What did the sultan send you to trade with?”
“That is a good question, Javad. The answer is nothing.”
“Nothing? Is he trying to get you killed?”
“I asked myself the same question...”
“You should have asked him instead,” the sorcerer interrupts.
“Why didn’t you?”
“So far, my conversation with you is going better than my conversation with him.”
Javad is silent again. Then, after a moment, he lets out a dry, but honest laugh. “You amuse me, Arash Zayed. For this, I will reward you.”
