1001 Genies - Part 2

The Daxonomous took both the sisters by the hand again and they flew over the ancient city of Sandantis to a large stepped pyramid at its centre and, landing upon the top step of the pyramid, infront of them, they saw a hieroglyph covered temple with a large, arched doorway.
"Inside that temple is the lamp of a genie; a good genie but only one person is allowed to enter and they must be a human child", said the Daxonomous, "If anything else passes through its doorway that thing is immediately destroyed".
"Destroyed?", asked Tanya, anxiously.
"Yes but don't worry", said the magic bottle, "You're a little girl. The temple won't destroy you and anyway, its the illusions you have to worry about".
"Illusions?", asked Tanya.
"Yes. Inside that temple you will see whatever you most fear in all the world", said the Daxonomous, "Its a test of courage you see but don't worry. Be brave and just remember that whatever frightening thing you see its not real and keep going until you get to the lamp".
And so, warilly, Tanya entered the door of the temple but the moment she did she was faced with a room full of horrible things that she was afraid of, snakes slithering on the ground and big hairy spiders crawling up the walls.
"Oh no, I can't do this", she said, shaking her head, "I can't I'm not brave enough".
But then suddenly, from behind them they all heard another noise like loud, malevolent laughter echoing on the wind and, turning round, the heart of the Daxonomous sank as he saw the giant, super genie flying towards them.
"So, the lost city of Sandantis", said the super genie, its voice booming like a bomb, "I thought you would come here, bottle but I'll destroy you before  you can do anything".
"Now what do we do?", asked Tina, looking up at the Supergenie, like a floating purple mountain in the sky, fearfully.
"Help your sister", said the Daxonomous, "Give her courage. I'll deal with the genies".
Then, leaping up into the air, the Daxonomous flew to face the gigantic supergenie but, this time, using its own magic powers the Daxonomous appeared to multiply itself into hundreds and hundreds of flying bottles.
"A cheap conjuring trick", said the supergenie.
"An illusion, I grant you", said the Daxonomous, "Hundreds of flying bottles and only one is the real me but, I ask you, how will you find out which is the real one unless you divide up and attack them all".
The supergenie thought for a while, stroking his dark cloud bearded chin as he did but then, suddenly, with a smile, the giant genie started to sprout hundreds and arms and then proceeded to snatch up each of the replica magic flying bottles, crushing them in its powerful giant purple hands.
"Oh no", said the Daxonomous, realising that its ruse had failed, dodging a giant purple hand as it tried to grab hold of him, "I just hope the girls are having better luck".
But, unfortunately, Tanya had frozen up in fear at the sight of a large hairy tarantula on the wall next to her.
"I want to go home", she said to her sister Tina, crying, "I can't do this. I'm too afraid".
"Well maybe I can do it", said Tina, "The bottle said that it just had to be a child. Come back out and let me try".
So Tanya backed out of the temple full of horrors and then Tina entered the doorway, seeing, instead of slithering snakes and crawling spiders, scurrying rats and fluttering bats.
But Tina looked straight ahead at the genies golden lamp that was sitting on an altar at the back of the temple.
"Maybe if I run through the room. I can get to the lamp before anything gets me", she said.
Turning, Tanya saw the supergenie and it had destroyed all but two of the flying bottles that were whizzing around it, dodging its giant crushing hands.
"Well you better do something quick. I don't think the bottle is winning", she said.
But then, closing her eyes and trying to imagine flowers and birds and all the nice things she could think of, Tina started to run.
She ran as fast as she could and didn't stop running, until, suddenly, opening her eyes, she could see the altar and the genies lamp right infront of her and, reaching out, she grabbed hold of the lamp with both hands.
But then, just as she was sighing with relief, out of the lamp crawled a big hairy lamp and, screaming, she dropped it to the floor.
Hearing the scream, the Daxonomous turned and saw Tanya outside the temple screaming to it for help.
"Don't worry, girls", said the magic bottle turning and flying towards the temple, "I'm coming".
But as the Daxonomous flew towards the temple the supergenie started to chase after him.
"You won't get away from me that easily", said the floating, multi-armed supergenie
"Got to think of something", thought the magic bottle, hearing Tina's screams coming from within the temple and, at the same time, the thunderous evil laughter of the genie trying to grab hold of him, "I can't enter the temple because I'm not a child so how do I save the girl and defeat the supergenie".
But then, an idea flashing into the mind of the Daxonomous, it suddenly sped towards the door of the temple.
"Huh?, think you can hide in there, do you?", said the supergenie, shrinking itself to fit through the door.
But then, suddenly, just as he was inches from the door of the temple, the Daxonomous veered left and the supergenie that had been chasing him, unable to stop or change direction went crashing through the door of the temple.
From round about the temple, Tina, Tanya and the Daxonomous heard an eery voice echo.
"Only a child may enter", it said.
Then, all of a sudden, to her relief, Tanya saw the illusions of rats and bats turn into dark temple guardian spirits that, converging upon and seizing hold of the super genie, started to devour it with mouths of shadow.
Then, before they could turn back into terrifying illusions again, Tina picked up the genies lamp from the teple floor and ran out through the door.
"You did it", said Tina, excitedly, throwing her arms around her sister and cheering.
But then, suddenly, the sisters heard a thunk as the Daxonomous that had been floating nearby fell to the ground.
"Oh no", said the magic bottle.
"Whats wrong?", asked Tina.
"Its the sleeping spell that the wizard G'Lottle placed upon me", said the Daxonomous, "Now that my work is done I will have to go back to sleep for eternity".
But, just then, the eyes of Tanya, the younger sister, lit up.
"No you don't", she said, "You have a genies lamp remember".
And, rubbing the lamp, Tanya made a wish. She wished that the sleeping spell that G' Lottle had placed upon the magic bottle would be broken and, after that another wish that they were all back on the beach again where their adventure had begun then a third and final wish that the Daxonomous would always be their friend and would have lots of amazing adventures with them.
"You don't need a genies lamp to make that wish come true", said the magic bottle, "Because its what I wish for too".
And after that day, just as Tanya had wanted, they and the Daxonomous were always the best of friends and had many, many amazing adventures.
