A/N: Actually a review inspired me to do this fic. Here's the review: I really like your fanfics on the footnotes.You should write one about the footnote on pg.466 of Ptolemy's Gate. Ellen wrote this and can be viewed on my other fic, The Envelope. Anyway, I don't own this trilogy and this is based off the footnote on pg. 466. Please Enjoy and review!

A magician was summoning me. I took the shape of a giant rodent. It wouldn't scare anyone, but it was worth a try if I was summoned in America. I wasn't. I looked at the other pentacle. It was Farqual!

"Bartimaeus and Farqual. I have a job for you," a man said from the shadows. "I want you to kill Genghis Khan."

"That's near impossible!" I sputtered.

"Leave it to Bartimaeus to be afraid," Farqual laughed.

Farqual's face was quite ugly when he attempted to laugh. Well, it was ugly all the time, just more so when he laughed.

"Afraid? No, I like a challenge," I told him.

"THEN GET GOING!" our master shouted at us.

Someone woke up wrong today. With a poof Farqual and I teleported near Genghis' campsite.

"So, how should we do this?" I asked.

"I say we just use brute strength and kill him with a detonation," Farqual said.

"That's why I'm smarter than you," I said.

"All right, how do you propose we do it, Bartimaeus?" Farqual asked quietly.

"I say we go in as servants and give him poisoned food," I proposed.

"I suppose," Farqual said.

The next day came and we came prepared with poisoned grapes. Standing in guard of the tent were two very low level djinni. We were servants up to the 7th plane, so they didn't see us.

"Why are you here?" Genghis shouted at us.

"We humble servants are here to deliver grapes to you," I told him.

"I DIDN'T ASK FOR GRAPES!" he shouted at us.

"But, we have prepared them for you! Please o' mighty Genghis try them," I pleaded. Farqual stood there with his mouth open. He took one at plopped it into his mouth.

"You have no more use! You will die now!" he said. If it were anyone else I wouldn't have been scared, but this was Genghis Khan and he was holding a silver sword.

"Farqual, kill any djinni that try to come in," I told him quietly.

I quickly slapped the sword out of his hand and grabbed his arm and twisted it behind his back making it unable for him to grab his sword again. He started to shake and I knew the poison was taking effect. Farqual was dealing with quite a number of djinni. I threw Genghis on the floor and let three detonations fly at the djiinni.

"This isn't going good," I told Farqual.

He roared and let detonations fly in every direction.

"Wow, thanks you idiot! You almost pulverized me!" I said.

"I got rid of them didn't I?"

"You're still an idiot!"

He raised his hand. Too late. I had already thrown a detonation at him slamming him into a tree. I picked up the silver sword and threw it at the tree. A nice little present. My job was done. I quickly reported back to the master to be dismissed.

Farqual was seething. Bartimaeus would be punished. When he and Lord Nouda finished their plan they would make him pay.
