14. Vizier's Fall
853 Words
When the Prince went to the Island of Time, he was able to prevent the death of Kaileena by his or the Dahaka's hand, preventing the creation of the sands. Because of this, the events that occurred in Azad never came to pass and the Vizier was never killed by the Prince.[2]
The Vizier and the Maharajah visited the Island and found nothing but an empty Hourglass, the Dagger and Staff of Time, alongside books that told them the tale of the Empress of Time. The Vizier returned to India seeking other treasures.[2]
Soon after their trip to the Island of Time, the Dagger of Time called to the Vizier, drawing him to Babylon. The Maharajah refused to go and the Vizier murdered him. The Vizier formed an alliance with the Scythians, a nomadic community who resented the kingdoms in Persia and India, and capitalized on their disenfranchisement. The Scythians occupied the Maharaja's kingdom and captured his people, his daughter Farah, included.[2]
The Vizier presumably traveled to the Lost Temples of Zurvan, gaining the knowledge of how to control the Sands of Time from the temples.[5]
Invading Babylon
Further exploiting the anger of the Scythians, the Vizier led their army into Babylon and overthrew King Sharaman, who was driven into the catacombs of his kingdom and killed. The Vizier's army made short work of the rebelling forces in Babylon, civilian or otherwise.
Upon the Prince and Kaileena's return from the Island of Time, their ship was attacked in the harbour and they were separated. Kaileena, washed ashore before the Prince and was captured by Scythian swordsmen.[2]

A promise of power, fulfilled! I will be immortal!VIZIER BEFORE HIS TRANSFORMATION[2]
Kaileena was brought to the Vizier, who tied her to a column in the palace courtyard. When the Prince arrived to save Kaileena, the Vizier killed her, unleashing the Sands of Time once more.[2]
As the Sands of Time began to infect the Vizier's Generals and the Prince, the Vizier stabbed himself with the Dagger of Time and imbued himself with the essence of the Sands. The Vizier's dying body was transformed into a more youthful and inhuman visage, sprouting wings and his body encased in a shell. The Vizier's transformation granted him both youth, immortality and the power of the Sands of Time.[2]
A Short Rule
Following his transformation, the Vizier moved systematically through the city of Babylon and established Sand Gates he could use to transport instantly to and from one location of the city to another. Connected to the Scythian army, now Sand Creatures, he controlled them and established guards around the Sand Gates to protect it from rebellion or the Prince.
His Generals, the Twin Warriors and Mahasti occupied sectors of Babylon and subjected its occupants to s*****y and death, while Klompa (who become a large and mindless creature), was relocated to the arena.
The Vizier himself began to slay the remainder of his foes and sought out the Prince. The Prince, one step behind the Vizier, moved through the city in an attempt to kill him to avenge Kaileena and his city. Eventually, Vizier captured a previously enslaved Farah and banished the Prince to the depths of the city's underground, where his father was killed.
Above ground, the Vizier imprisoned Farah and planned to transform her into his immortal queen. The Prince returned to the surface and fought Zurvan with the Dagger of Time. The Vizier used his powers of flight and telekinesis to stop the Princ e, who gradually began to m**m him with the Dagger. The Vizier was defeated by the Prince and stabbed by the Dagger of Time, reducing him to sand, freeing Kaileena's spirit.[2]
He got into place where Vizier is in up air. He was holding Farrah on shackles.
-In case I change my mind.
She spits at him.
-You ungrateful pig. I offer you lifetime godliness and this how you respond. Oh, I will enjoy this.
He turns on Prince.
-Hello , Prince. Not quite homecoming you expected.
He flied down.
They striked each other for time until Prince got him by his Dagger strikes on the wings.
He makes stones go by his powers up. And came higher off ground. Prince jumped from stone to stone. By climbing he got in high air front of him.
He leaped , Dagger ready.
Before his last blow, they seemed be in air for minute.
Then his blade came blue.
He strikes him, making him come down by it.
Vizier shouted.
-This was not supposed to end this way.
Prince took Dagger out of him and he became, like other creatures of sand in Babylon, nothing.
And Dagger was undone.
He then smiled.
It was over.
But then Dark Prince appeared.
