The Hakima's Tale: The Revenge of the Blue Jinni
Months passed, and with the passing of time came the occasional incident. The Marid tried many times to end Phoenix’s life, but her protectors were never far behind. Their failed attempts left the Marid frustrated and even angrier that they could do nothing about the fact that their one and only obstacle was being raised in front of them. The Arwaah were not as powerful, but they were many. Entire nations of them, comprising every religious denomination, families and armies occupying the ground and sky, banned together to protect the girl.
