“Now, now, I didn’t say they were dead, they may just be less protected now?”  she didn’t stop the her from weeping. It’s best to release these things so it would do her well to rest.

“Besides, this has been a long day” Milady stood up and went to the futons and blankets, she pulled one out and prepared a resting area for the girl. “You must restore your energy, my dear” she closed the sliding doors and dimmed the lights. “I’ll be in the bath if you need me”

Rieta grabbed the futon cover and wrapped it around her shoulders. She let her tears fall onto the soft fabric.

So useless…

She was back where she started now, only a little less cramped.  She slumped over on the mattress, still sobbing as she curled up. The small japanese style room was unfamiliar.  She missed the warm glow of home, but she was so tired she still drifted to a dreamless sleep.

“protecting someone? well how can they be protected if you ended up trapped?” she sipped some smoke from her pipe as she waited for the girl to answer.

 “I wonder if the person you protected is even grateful to you?”

[flamejinni-blog]

She didn’t answer instead staring at her reflection in her tea. She was a mess, smeared makeup, mussed hair...

She immediately began to cry, there was no point holding it in like in the past. She wanted to be mad but Heller was right, in fact things might have ended up worse because of all this.

Lord Ivlis could be dead and it was all her fault.

Milady stared at Rieta, she was still very curious as how she ended up in this land. She just poured a cup of tea into a cup and offered it to the girl.

“Here, I’m still not quite satisfied with your introduction” she then got hold of her pipe “ Tell me, Rieta, what was the last memory you had?”

[flamejinni-blog]

She gladly reached a shivering claw for the tea, anything to cut the nip of this world’s cold air.

“If you mean before I was imprisoned, I was...” She paused realizing fully the severity of the scene she was forced to leave. “protecting someone...”

Her voice faded in worry as she sipped the tea offered to her, trying to enjoy the burning heat she was used to.

“You need not to worry, my dear” Heller pointed to her throat “I’m mute to most denizens, unless someone holds a great of amount of power to hear my thoughts, I’m the silent queen to most.”

“But you should also introduce yourself, seeing as you already know who I am.” She gave a gentle smile to assure the child as not to fear her. “What might your name be? Also why are you so scared? I thought genies were all powerful beings?”

[flamejinni-blog]

Mute?  She figured it must be like being blind, but with your voice.

She looked to the ground still trying to choose her words carefully.

“...I’m Rieta.... and power is a subjective concept...” She could think of more people with a greater power than less. She figured it was no use to try and act confident anymore as the girl could see right through her.

*loud screaming*

Heller was certainly surprised but not because of the genie, but how she heard her voice.

“Well this is certainly interesting, only a few people know what I’m saying…” She moved her lips since the other could clearly hear her. “My name is Heller, my dear”

[flamejinni-blog]

“Heller?”  She has hear stranger names.  “What do you mean only a few people can hear you? Aa...if I may ask.”

She was walking on eggshells, careful not to offend her current mistress. She sensed a fair power with this girl, though you wouldn't guess by her appearance.  Perhaps the tablet with the word “queen” had been a clue.

Milady looked at the girl who came out from the lamp. The room filled with smoke and she felt fear within the being of the soul.

”uwah~! It’s a genie~ a genie~” but nonetheless this was certainly an interesting event.

[flamejinni-blog]

The girls enthusiasm was surprising.  She knew what kind of being she was?

The world she ended up in was nothing like her own and she never though that jinn were a common species.

“Y-yes.”  She put on her faked resolution.  Her power was definitely contract based. “May I ask… what is…”

Your wish? Your desire? Hell, would she even be able to follow through granting wishes?

“...your name?”

Milady took the strange lamp home, trying to figure out if it contained something, since she felt a soul attached to it.

“Let’s see if I can release this soul~” she thinks to herself as she prepared the purification items. Since it was a lamp she gently rubbed it. 

[flamejinni-blog]

As she sensed finger pressing against the lamp a loud bang filled her head.  Her eyes took a second to readjust to her smoky surroundings and the second her feet touched the hard ground she stumbled and her knees buckled.

Her legs, they were misty and ethereal as though she was ceasing to exist. The sight sent a shiver down her back.

She blinked once and looked up through the pink haze to whom released her, a pretty young woman with long hair in casual attire. She tried to speak with confidence but stuttered.

Milady was getting a bit sleepy from strolling along, it’s been pretty normal so far, the denizens waved to her and some exchanged whispers, but she just kept walking.

Upon reaching a somewhat woody area, she could hardly see where she’s stepping, and with as she was trying to avoid the branches, she felt a small *clank* as if she stepped on an iron plate.

Looking down she saw a rather shiny lamp that was already covered by webs. “It must have been here for a while” she thought to herself as she slowly picked it up.

[flamejinni-blog]

She felt the movement as her forced abode was knocked around. She felt dizzy like she had sat up too fast on a hot day. It made sense, how long had she been long still, after all?

She shut her eyes tightly and prepared herself. If they could let her out she would have to choose her words carefully.  It was fundamental that she convince this person to take her home.

Somehow...

Milady was going for a stroll, as told by her father, since she was always cooped up inside her room, despite being the new ruler of the land.

It will be a good way for her to monitor the happening to her surroundings as well. Strange things always happened in these lands and the worlds around them.

[flamejinni-blog]

Rieta lay curled inside her cramped lamp.  Wallowing in self-pity she cringes at the occasional sound of footsteps walking by where she lay in the dirt, knowing that it was only a matter of time before one of the picked her up.

She didn’t want to deal with them, as she doubted that they would let her go home.  There were selfish people out there, and she was from then on bound by contract.
