Aisha explained to the players that Hashim was an ifrit who was the brother of her adoptive father. She explained how everyone who came before them had pressed that button and didn't pay heed to her warning at all.

" Wow, that's pretty crazy. But what happened to your real parents?" asked Shakes feeling sympathy for Aisha. " I dunno, my dad died when I was two and my mom, I never met her," said Aisha as she took a sip of her tea.  Shakes and the others nodded and decided to leave to get some rest in time for the game tomorrow. 

They leave the building and go into the limo that was waiting for them outside. They felt calm but still felt a twinge of horror after learning of the true cause of all the mysterious deaths in Narjah. 

Meanwhile, Aisha was doing some homework for her Middle East studies class. She was a very bright student and loved to explore. Aisha was currently studying at the University of Dubai and was majoring in History since she wanted to become a historian.

She looked over her shoulder and noticed Simra was still asleep. " Simra, wake up. I got you some chicken bones," said Aisha. Bones and soot were the food of jinn.  The little jinn cat opened her eyes and chewed done on the bone breaking it with her teeth and swallowing the rest. 

After Simra was done, Aisha got up and went to the kitchen. She noticed her adoptive mother named Hind cooking and saw her adoptive elder brothers in the living room. Yaqub, the youngest of the brothers was drinking some tea watching in boredom as his two older brothers Yunus, and Amir played chess and began to argue.

" Akh, this is so boring," groaned Yaqub as he got up from his chair. " Yaqub, Aisha. Can you two do me a favor and get some things from the supermarket in town, please? I need some new incense and the bazaar is all sold out," said Hind with a bright smile.

Hind was a Marid and a Muslim. She had blue skin, green eyes, and a horn above her left eyebrow. She was tall and had a slender figure even though she was 90 years old. Jinns, unlike humans, live very long lives and age differently.

Aisha and Yaqub nodded and went into the elevator. Simra followed Aisha and the elevator closed.

" Let's hope we don't deal with any nosy humans today," said Yaqub with a smug grin. Yaqub was an ifrit with red skin and horns. He also had wings and a tail. In his human form, he had tan skin, green eyes, and Bedioun markings on his face.

" Yeah. But if there's ice cream you have to buy me one," said Aisha with a teasing laugh. " Ha ha, very funny ukhti. I'll get you one since you're the only one who doesn't drive me nuts at home," said Yaqub as he ruffled Aisha's hair.


The elevator stopped and opened as Aisha and Yaqub walked out of Narjah. They walked around Dubai feeling glad that they weren't being stared at. They walked around town and bought the things they needed. They were walking home when they noticed Goliath Stadium. Goliath Stadium was the home ground for Sultans FC and was Aisha's favorite stadium.

Aisha already had tickets and had bought three in advance. She went to the security guard with Yaqub and Simra in tow and entered the stadium. They sat in the back and watched the game in awe. 

After the game ended, Aisha was with her brother exploring the stadium when Dancing Rasta and the others noticed her. Shakes was about to approach her but stopped seeing Yaqub glaring at him. 

The two siblings left the area and went back home as the locals took their distance from them.
