The Little Guy And His Jinnie
Chapter 37

Jake and Nyrae turned at a slight noise they heard from the doorway. There in the doorway was Gen, though her eyes were hardly open. Jake ran to her, fearing she was going to fall. "I am sorry, Master," Gen gasped as she fought the fatigue clawing at her body. "All three of us realized we loved you far more than we initially thought. The bond is so strong now, Master; please, she will be fine now, though you may see Dreama occasionally."

"Gen!" Jake yelled as he caught Gen before she hit the floor. "Trully!" Jake was screaming as he walked past the council, who hadn't left yet.

"I am here, Master Jake," Trully said, seeing the tears that flowed like a river from Jake's eyes.

"Please Trully, I... I can't lose her, none of them! I will give anything of mine to save them ANYTHING!" Jake said, begging Truly. Shocked momentarily, she'd never heard of a master willing to risk everything for his Jinns.

Sighing, she gently placed a hand on Jake's shoulder. "Please help me to see Master Jake." She asked as Jake nodded and put his hand on Trully's shoulder. Nodding Trully looked at all of the Jinns in the room. Smiling, she could see that Gen, Rashala, and Sheeka were starting to build their power back up. "They all appear to be fine, Master Jake. It appears that they have achieved alssanadat' iijmali alhubb." Trully bowed, "I am sorry Master Jake that is the total bond of love."

Jake could only stare at Trully, "Is that anything like the blessed Jinns of love?" He asked.

Trully's hand went to her mouth as she gasped, and the entire council gasped. "Where did you hear that term, Master Jake?" Wide-eyed, still in shock, Truly asked.

"Right before Rashala and I became bonded. An extremely powerful Jinn attacked us. I was so afraid that Rashala had been hurt and was dying. I held her and realized I loved her as much as Gen and Rosalinda did. When I told her I did, she confessed that she loved me, suddenly growing powerful. Right before the Jinn destroyed himself trying to take us with him, he told Rashala they were all the blessed Jinns of love." Jake was looking around, wondering what everyone was in shock about.

"Master Jake, what you spoke of has never happened before! The bond you and your three freed Jinns have forged can never be broken!"
Trully looked over at Rosalinda, smiling to herself; she could see that Rosalinda was also developing it. It wouldn't take much to push her to the point, either.

Jake looked over to the council a moment later. Walking over to them, Jake bowed, "Great Jinn council," he started. "It appears that my Jinns and I are unprotected. May I ask the protection of the council 'til they are better?"

Rasmir started to say something, then stopped. "I think you should have enough protection, Master Jake." The older man said.

From behind him, a voice that had startled Jake a few hours before caught his attention, almost sounding hurt. "Master Jake, have you already forgotten about me?"

Whirling quickly, Jake came face to face with Princess Amira. "No, Princess, I didn't, though I had thought you had more urgent matters than guarding me and my Jinns." Jake bowed low to the Princess, though he was allowed to stand in her presence.

"Master Jake, no mortal or Jinn is as important as you or your Jinns. Please believe me when I tell you it is truly an honor to help protect you." Leaning closer, she whispered, "Plus, the fact that you promised to take me at least once to help cool the burning in my loins for you." The shock on Jake's face caused the Princess to giggle, and then she bowed to Jake.

Damn it, Jake thought; I don't think I am ever going to get used to the fact that they ALL are bowing to me.

Jake leaned over to the bowing Princess's ear, whispering, "No, my dear, I haven't forgotten, nor can I with one as beautiful as you!" The Princess started to tremble with desire even as her face blushed.

Standing, the Princess kissed Jake deeply, passionately sending tremors through their bodies. Withdrawing her lips from his, she panted breathlessly, "I cannot wait, dear Ever Last Master! You and all of your Jinns have the protection of the royal family. Be well!" With that, Amira smiled and vanished.

Many miles away, in his cave hideout near the ocean, Tankena was raging. He'd lost his best seductress, Sheeka! The deadly trio had been hurt not once but twice! In both instances, one of the sisters had almost been destroyed! What was the leader doing? He had to break free of the weak fool! The leader was losing his mind! None of these plans were working at all. Then there was that damnable fool Jankean thinking he could break a forbidden magic contract!

Tankena was about to wear himself out. The amount of power he was using was titanic; it felt so good to let out his pent-up frustration. Yes, Tankena thought the leader was growing weaker; it was very apparent. Soon he felt he would be free, then he and he alone would destroy that piss-ant human Jake Freemon! Laughing evilly, Tankena wasn't even aware of the swirling dark cloud that had appeared, advancing upon him.

"Tankena!" A voice shouted, catching him off guard. "Why are you wasting your power? The time is coming close for me to be released. Then and only then we will have our revenge!"

"What revenge?" Tankena shouted at the swirling, dark, misty cloud. "I am losing more valuable things with all your useless plans." Tankena started to choke, but he poured almost all his power into fighting it. "I will not be."

"I told you before, dog! You need to remember your place; you are still my slave 'til I tire of you! Carry out the plan. Once I have emerged, all the others will be nothing, including the intriguing, deadly trio!" The leader's voice issued from the mist. Tankena could only stare with great hatred at the fog. He had to break free; the leader was insane!

Nuha stretched out her arm, feeling the ancient power coursing through her body. Fatin was still unconscious after pouring a massive amount of energy into Nuha that she had. It had taken everything she had to heal and pull Nuha from the grasp of death and destruction. Nuha slowly combed her fingers through her sister's hair; they were almost ready.

Abla was afraid of both of her sisters and the amount of power they had. Looking at Nuha, she knew that she could kill either of her sisters if she lost her temper. The ancient magic was nothing to screw around with; now it seemed Nuha could use it at will. Fatin, with her temper, always seemed to be powered past the point that she was almost as strong as Nuha. Shaking her head, Abla stayed as far from them both as she could.

Nuha looked around the room 'til she saw her sister Abla cringing in the corner. "Dear sister, why are you afraid? We will soon see the end to the threat that this... human." When Abla only nodded and shrank further from Nuha, a shock ran through Nuha. "Sister, do you think that I would harm you?"

"On purpose, no, but you are so powerful now," Abla sighed. "Now? You might without realizing it 'til it is far too late." Abla responded, shaking far more afraid than she thought she was.

Nuha, still in shock, her mouth agape as she stared at her frightened sister. "We need to do something about that then." Nuha started to chant an ancient spell that Abla didn't recognize.

A few moments later, a black stone encased in gold appeared. "Here, my sister wears this amulet. It will protect you against our power, increasing yours."

Abla tentatively took the amulet and placed it around her neck. A wicked smile crossed her lips as her eyes went almost entirely black. Good, Nuha thought, the bitch won't be any trouble to control now. Sighing, Abla had always been the weakest of them. Suddenly, smiling evilly, Nuha knew that she'd have to move quickly, or the amulet would consume her sister. All they needed now was for Fatin to wake up, then they would have to move.

Jake carried Gen to the bed in his bedroom; then, he quickly collected Rashala, Sheeka, and Rosalinda. Jake placed them so they would all be comfortable and walked back into his living room.

Walking to Rasmir, Jake was surprised that the council was still there. "Rasmir, what was all the shock about?"

"Master Jake, you said that the Jinn that attacked you called your Jinns the blessed Jinns of love. Legends have been told for tens of thousands of years about that. If it is true, Master Jake, then I am afraid that the war is about to start again, though," Rasmir paused, staring at Jake. "It is said that the Ever-Last Master and his Jinns will be the deciding factor of the war. They will be a force that cannot be beaten."

"I have heard mention of this before, but what about all of us that will turn the tide?" Jake asked, a little confused.

"I am sure that you have noticed that the power of all your Jinns is far higher than normal, Master Jake," Rasmir told Jake. When Jake only nodded, Rasmir continued, "I am also certain that you have heard that the most powerful magic is love, correct?" Again, Jake nodded, still perplexed. Rasmir touched Jake on the shoulder, "It is quite simple, Master Jake. Your and their love has made them far more powerful than ever. That and the bond you all share make you almost invincible."

Jake thought a moment, then stared at Rasmir, his eyes wide in surprise. "Invincible? No, I have seen them hurt, almost destroyed. We are far from that Rasmir."

"At this moment, no, but with each passing day, the bond grows stronger, as does the love that all of you share." Rasmir had a knowing smile that wasn't lost on Jake.

Jake looked back into the bedroom, seeing Akeesha trying to attend to her sister. Beside her was Inger trying to get Akeesha to rest. "I cannot allow this to happen again, Rasmir; this almost killed me when they were hurt. I'm not sure I can take much more of this. Has the council made any decisions on the plans I gave you?"

A wide smile broke out on Rasmir's face, "We have Master Jake; we have started creating the first buildings. I believe it was the outer star-shaped building. I fear it is so simple but deadly; the enchantments will take quite a while to achieve. We should have it ready in a few years of our time." Rasmir started to laugh when Jake developed a confused look on his face. "We have been at it for a few years, Master Jake. Have you forgotten time moves differently in our dimension?"

Jake let out a whoosh of breath when he saw and heard the seriousness of Rasmir's tone. "I was afraid that the council might be unable to do what was needed to create them. The only thing is now, we need a way to deploy them. I'm not sure that any enemy is just going to walk in. I know I had a disguise over the whole thing, but."

"We also thought of this," said the council leader, sighing. The council leader walked to Jake. "The only way we can see an enemy walking in is to have bait." Looking straight at Jake, the council leader stated. "The only bait we can see enemies going after are you, Master Jake."

Jake's eyes grew wide, and then he nodded yes; he saw where the council leader was coming from. The problem was how could he be the bait, be safe, and his Jinns be safe at the same time? Snapping his fingers, Jake strode to his draft table and started drawing furiously. Smiling at what he'd done, Jake took it to the council, who all looked at it with broad smiles. "I think that this should help."

Many of the council were nodding. Hearing a noise, Jake turned and saw a weak Akeesha standing behind him. "I am not pleased you'd put yourself in that much danger." Bowing low to the floor, tears started to flow from her eyes. "I am humbled by your many sacrifices for all of them. I accept any punishment you decree, Master Jake. Though I felt justified, I was not there to help my sister."

Inger also threw herself at the feet of Jake, "Please show mercy, Master Jake, punish me, not her. It was all my fault that she was not there. I had all her senses centered on me." Massive tears began to fall from Inger's eyes as she grasped Akeesha's hand. "I accept what you must do, Master Jake," Inger whispered.

Jake could only shake his head. Did everyone from the Jinn dimension think all punishment was only death, disfigurement, or banishment? Sighing deeply, Jake knelt and raised the faces of both the females. "First, Akeesha, though you are not my Jinn, you did present yourself for judgment to me. I think that the fact that your dear sister was hurt and you weren't there is by far the worst punishment. Nothing I can do or say drives home the point more than that." Looking into Inger's eyes, Jake could see her tremble, probably thinking I wouldn't allow her to see Akeesha again, Jake thought.

Speaking gently, Jake started, "Inger, I cannot punish you for your love of Akeesha. How can I? I love all four of my Jinns. No, I think that you should perhaps tone it down a little. Even though you haven't seen each other in thousands of years."

Jake watched as shock ran through them first, and then they both looked at him with disbelief. Inger suddenly shouted as she threw herself at Akeesha, still with a look of disbelief. Inger was kissing all over Akeesha's face when she suddenly realized that Master Jake WASN'T going to punish either of them.

Both female Jinns bowed low to Jake after Inger had regained her composure. Then, in a move that completely shocked Jake and both female Jinns, they simultaneously kissed him on each side of his face. Inger and Akeesha looked at each other in shock, then kissed in front of Jake.
