Jinniyah - It Has Been Many Years...

"Hey...Dr. Phillips...do you finish the inventory review?  I want to make sure everything on the CPD's list is what we are missing here.  It seems like a good time to find mistakes too."

"Stop calling me that...you know what the director said."

"He needs to lighten up a bit.  He and I know you will defend your thesis without issue.  It is not even necessary, but some people like to show how big their PhDs are."  She giggles.

"I'm still nervous."  He comes over with a pad and starts scrolling.  "I've found matches for everything but this...'desk eagle'.  Seriously...who puts in a description like that.  Grrr  Anyway...I cannot find it.  I think it is the gold eagle desk thing that would go with a pen holder.  Black base, gold eagle, 'iron cross' above the eagle...I think it had the name 'Dienstleiter Brikner'.  The notes say he was Service Leader for a platoon stationed in Norway on the coast of the North Sea.  I cannot find it here and I don't have it in their inventory."

"Did you check any of the study rooms or if maybe it is behind something...or maybe it got shifted into another collection?"

As he is walking away, "Yeah...I'm still looking.  I didn't see it behind anything.  I'm going to check out the rooms and to see if it wound up in one of those right position, wrong shelf misplacements.  Nobody ever knows who did those it seems...."

"Hey...what is this bottle on the table for?"

Yelling as he walks out the door, "That was a misplacement.  I think Persian.  IT SHOULD GO TO DOCTOR BLOW-POP."

"STOP CALLING HIM THAT OR YOU WILL GET IN TROUBLE."  She picks up the bottle.  It is beautiful.  It is iridescent as it catches the light from different angles.  It should be in the antique glass collection.  The ridges and stopper are smooth...almost sexy.  She holds the bottle for a minute and sees little flecks of light in the bottle...another glass art affect....  Staring...mesmerized...she touches the stopper and gently twists to get the flecks move.  There almost seems to be a swirling affect.  The safety tape hold the stopper offers no resistance as she turns it a little more.  It is simply too old.  POP  The stopper pulling free is not what she wanted, but the noise was so much louder than expected.  There is the sound of hissing steam and a large about of smoke issues from the bottle.  Than there...standing in front of the doctor, is a woman.

"holy fuck"

Jinniyah - It Has Been Many Years...

Zahrah could see and hear the woman when she grasped her bottle, could feel her touch. A sense of anticipation built within her, as always. Would this be the time? Others had likewise held her, but it had come to naught. Would this be different?

But while there was anticipation, there was neither hope not despair. There was no need for it. Things happen or they do not, and the djinn do not feel time or boredom the way that those made of earth do. She could do nothing to affect this either way. إِنْ شَاءَ ٱللَّٰهُ. How long had it been already?

She felt the woman's fingers, and suppressed a gasp. This was not transport. The hands continued, and Zahrah looked up with a wry smile, and mouthed the word 'الحريه' as she was drawn inexorably from her bottle

--
A cloud of blue indigo smoke poured forth from the bottle. Those nearby would detect the scent of honey and frankincense, should their minds remain focused enough to utilize their senses. She solidified in front of the surprised woman, her long hair wafted around her like smoke, curling and moving of their own volition, or as if in an unfelt wind.

Zahrah dropped to her hands and knees in submission before the women who held her bottle, who thus also held her service and her self. And she spoke, for the first time in how long? "أمنيتك هي أمري ، سيدتي."

Stephanie stood mesmerized, eyes big, and then took two steps back, which put her against a shelf that rattled a little as her back hit it.  "What?  Who are you?"  A little panic can be heard in her voice.

Zahrah replied, still prostrate on the ground, "أنا عبدك. ليس لديك إلا أن تأمرني ، سيدتي ، وأنا سأكون من تشاء."

She raised her head and began to rise, explaining, "لقد حررتني. هذا يعني أنني حر في إرضائك." As she talked, she moved forward, trapping the doctor between herself and the rattling shelf. Provided the women did not push her aside and run, Zarah cupped her face in her hands. "وسأقوم بإرضائك كثيرا ..."

Here eyes wide and seeming a little scared, in a small voice, she says "I...do...not...understand...you.  Where...did...you...come...from?  Oh god, what am I saying??"  She shakes her head.

"I don't understand Arabic?"  She is now gripping the counter.

Jinniyah - It Has Been Many Years...

While there was no antipathy between her humanity, or even between her and her master- provided they were a fair person of good heart- Zahrah still found it amusing that the one who had control was the one worried now. She was djinn, not ifrit, so unjustified cruelty and terror for its own sake was not something she sought to cause, but she felt that the fear being shown demonstrated a level of respect for her, what she was and what she could accomplish. And as a trickster, part of her enjoyed seeing her mistress intimidated in this manner.

Opposed to that feeling was her innate need to serve. That was her existence, servitude, and it was specifically to this woman now. So another part of her wanted to comfort Stephanie and calm her fears.

The two feelings warred, until the invocation of `god' was made.

Zahrah released her, and took a step back looking at her bottle. "نعم ، الله يسود علينا جميعاً. وثبَّتني عبده سليمان في هذا الإناء ، وحُكم عليَّ أن أكون خادماً للذي يحررني. أنت آخر من يفعل ذلك. لذلك أنا عبدك." If Stephanie had a sharp ear, she might have caught 'Allah' and 'Sulaiman' in her words.

Zahrah looked back at Stephanie, pointed at the woman, then at her bottle, then the stopper. She next pantomimed holding a bottle while pulling off the top, then pointed to herself and then at Stephanie once more, before prostrating herself once more to emphasize her next point. "مهما كانت رغباتك ، سأحققه. مهما كانت إرادتك ، فسوف أعمل. مهما كانت هوايتك ، سأفعل. سأكون كما تريدني أن أكون. سوف أرضيك بكل الطرق. ليس لديك إلا أن تأمرني يا سيدتي." Again, a trained ear might recognize she repeated certain words or phrases several times.

"OK...OK....  ahh...think.  She came out of the bottle.  No...no...that can't be right.  OK...think."  She looks around for the cameras that were everywhere.  Right, right.  Doors and windows back here.  Storage is like a vault.  OK...so nobody is watching this like some crazy caught on camera thing.  She closes her eyes for a second and slows her breathing down.  Talk to the half naked woman...settle...

"OK...linguistics class...nodding.  OK...OK...I am Stephanie.  Do you understand me?"  She points to herself and nods when she says 'Stephanie'.

Zara nods in return, and says, "أنا أفهمك تمامًا يا سيدتي." She points at the doctor, and repeats "Stephanie. سيدتي.", before pointing at herself and saying "Zahrah. عبدك.."

"ونعم ، خرجت من الزجاجة ، سيدتي.". She does not yet rise from the floor.

Zahrah nodded her head as Stephanie stated that Zahrah seemed to understand her, perhaps giving her more reassurance that was the case. However, when asked if she needed help, she moved her chin back and made a clicking noise with her tongue. She followed up the gesture with another statement, "أنا هنا لمساعدتك يا سيدتي ، كيفما شئت." The gesture was a common Arabic one that answered the question, although Stephanie might not understand the meaning of it any more than she understood the language.

Another nod, and another uncomprehended explanation follows. "قنانيتي هي جزء من نفسي يا سيدتي ، وأنا ملتزم بها ، لكني لا أنتمي إليها إنه سجني وراحتي."

Zahrah smiled. It had taken time, but the woman had gotten there. She rose from the ground, and let the solid flesh of the lower half of her body drift away, to be replaced by her blue indigo smoke. She drifted back towards Stephanie and nodded, her smoke with it's heady scent encircling her new mistress. "لكن ليس فقط مثل الجني ؛ أنا جني. وأنا جنيك الآن يا سيدتي. ما هو امرك؟"

The word `genie' was close enough in sound to one or two of the words Zahrah spoke in response. Between that, her nodding, her half-smoke form, and the rest of her overall appearance, Zahrah was confident Stephanie would interpret her response as confirmation.

She covers her mouth with both hands, "Holy shit."  She starts to wave her hands in front of her face, "Whata I do?  Whata I do?  OK...OK...you are speaking modern Arabic?  I released you and now I'm your master?"

Zahrah visibly recoiled at the profanity, and chided, "لا تجدف ، أو قد تجد نفسك محاصرًا في زجاجة خاصة بك." That would not be the case, as the woman was not a djinni, but it was still good advice.

She screwed her face up in a look of consideration. "العربية الحديثة؟ هل تغير العالم كثيرا؟ منذ متى وأنا غائب؟?" She shrugged and then smiled. "لكن لا يهم. مهما قلت ، سأفهم. نعم ، أنت سيدتي. ومهما أمرت به ، إذا كان في حدود سلطتي ، سأفعله."

Suddenly Stephanie hits her self, "I'm so stupid."  She pulls out here phone, takes a step or two to test for bars, and starts typing.  She turns the phone to Jinniyah, and has Google translate open.  <هل تستطيع قراءة هذا؟>

Seeing her pull out the small slab, and have the writing appear on it, Zahrah's eyes grow wide. She drops prone once more, and blurts out, "الرحمة يا سيدتي! رحمة!" And switching to English, "This lowly one did not know you were a sorceress. Forgive my game, mistress."

"I speak and understand every language, Mistress, since I must know what my master wishes of me. But I did not hide the fact that I understood you, and I told you no lies. Had you asked if I could speak your language, I would have told you yes. True, I had hoped to trick you into using a wish for me to speak in your language, but you proved to be too clever for such a gambit," Zahrah replied in a tone intended to placate. "Please grant your forgiveness for such a ruse."

Zahrah looks up and says in a chagrined voice, "Not ~a~ wish, Mistress, but three wishes. If it is in my power to grant, it is yours. But you must clearly state 'I wish...' in your request if it is to be so."

She looks over at her bottle. "Therefore, there is no obligation to grant this desire as spoken, but as a show of respect and atonement for my ruse, this one obeys."

Once more flesh dissolved into colored smoke, smoke that swirled towards and then into her bottle.
