Disclaimer: I don't own the Djinn from Wishmaster. And if I did...I'd start the zombie apocolypse. XD

Nathaniel made his way through the city easily. He'd stopped off at several bars. Granted some wishes in some rather gruesome ways but basically kept a low profile. Several hours went by and he heard his name whispered and teleported to his Waker. He couldn't help but grin as he saw how she looked now. She was wearing knee high black chunk corset combat boots, black thigh high fishnet stockings and a black and red pleated skirt that went almost to her knees. She had on a burgundy corset bodice with a spiderweb pattern and black fishnet top. He could see the tops of a lacy bra peeking just over the top of her bodice where her breasts were pushed to plump mounds. She was wearing a black choker with his sigil in gold on it. "Where. Did you find this?" She smirked. "You just gotta know where to shop." He touched the sigil lightly, and let his fingers trail over her breasts to grab her waist. He pulled her into him and ran a hand through her long soft freshly styled hair. There were streaks of red in her dark brown hair. He liked. "And. I got us tickets, first class to Vegas and got us a great room. Our flight leaves in three days. So. During that time I'm gonna get in some practice." She stepped back and gave him a grin. He rose a brow and crossed his arms. "Oh? Practice what?" She opened her palm and a green flame danced in her palm. "I didn't sit idle in your library y'know."

His eyes were wide as she made the green flame dance around her, changing colors and heat intensity. "I plan on working on water next. Humans are almost 80% water you know." her eyes took on a hard gleam and he knew she was thinking something that involved pain. "So, for three days. You get to eat my great food, and there are plenty of people here to gather souls from." She closed her palm around the normal colored flame and extinguished it. "I could spend years, hell, centuries in there just reading. Learning." She sighed and looked at her hand, flexing it. He reached out and cupped her cheek, tilting her head to look at him. "Oh you could...if you just wish it." She rose a brow and gave him an amused smile. She laid a hand on his and gave a short laugh. "You know, I'm not so easily tricked." She laid a small kiss on his pulse point before stepping away. "I need to get dinner going." She slipped away and threw on her apron to start getting the chicken fajitas going. She served it with spiced turmeric and lemon rice. Crisp red and green bell peppers and onions were thrown in with the chicken strips she'd cut up and they were all seasoned with cumin, oregano, a bit of Tabasco for kick and finished them off on flour tortilla's with sour cream and shredded queso mix cheese from the bag.

She set the table and served a good size plate to Nathaniel. She pulled out a coke can and poured herself a glass and offered one to him. He actually took it and cracked the can. He took a sip of the sweet liquid and made a face. She couldn't help but laugh at his expression. "Ah the wonders of chemistry. I can get you some tea if you want." He grimaced at the coke can and nodded. "Please do." She got to her feet and went for the tea bags. She pulled out her box of Tazo tea. She pulled the purified water out of the coke, leaving only syrup and the chemicals behind. She used fire manipulation to heat the water and steep the leaves. This tea didn't even need any honey because the licorice in it sweetened it naturally. She threw away the bag and brought him the hot red colored tea.

Smiling at his reaction to the tea she finished her meal and cleared the table. She brought out warm brownies next for dessert and put a scoop of Breyer's vanilla bean ice cream on it. She threw him a small grin before digging into her own chocolaty delight. She watched him as she ate and paused in between bites with a smile, she knew the danger of using true names so stuck with his alias. "Nathaniel?" He looked up at her, he'd kept to his human form for most of the day and he rose a brow in question. "What is it like for your race in the void?" He put his fork down and put his finger through some of the melted ice cream. He sat back in his chair with a thoughtful expression. "Is it your wish to know this?" She leaned forward and put her chin in her palm. "No, not a wish. Just a desire to know more. And depending on what you tell me. IF you tell me will help me determine what my last wish will be. I know that Djinn have free will like humans. And you don't have to use any power to tell me. So you can, if you want to. " He sucked the sweet cream from his finger and she waited patiently and finished off her brownie, licking her spoon and smiling. She sat back and made a sigh of contentment as she mimicked his motion to lick some of the melted ice cream from one of her fingers. She smiled when she saw her companion's eyes flick to her and darken. "Well." He began. "It's a desolate place. No sunlight. No moonlight. No rain. No life other than us. We live, we love. We procreate and there are those of us that choose to die. But not many do because there are so few of us left. You read the history. Djinn were to inherit Eden in the beginning but instead it was given to the children of the earth. Humans. He spat out that last part bitterly. Hatred laced his voice and her interest peaked. "So the children of Adam came to rule. Children made of the clay of the earth when the creations of fire were promised this land first?"

He nodded unhappily. "In a nutshell...yes. My race has been kept bound in the void between worlds. But, there was a prophesy that one of us would come to the mortal realm. And upon granting the waker three wishes and gathering enough souls to open the rifts, than the race of the Djinn. Will take back Eden for themselves." She sat back in her chair. "There is so much potential...so much potential right now. If...If I were to wish that the void where the Djinn dwelt were to turn into a lush paradise to make Eden look like a dump...would it work? Is your power that extensive?" He stared at her. "Why would you do that?" She shrugged. "Why not. It's my wish. I can do what I will with it. Right?" He nodded slowly. "I suppose. But there are even forces greater than myself at work here. Even if I were to grant you that wish. The third would have been made and the rifts between would open up anyway. The Djinn could spill through still and conquer this realm." She nodded in understanding. "Yes, I know. But after that wish was fulfilled. Would they WANT to? This world is disgusting. The weapons that men have developed have destroyed so much of it already. Chernobyl, nuclear war, plagues, viruses, biological warfare. Even if the Djinn came through, there would be a resistance. Humans are like rats, or roaches. Very tenacious and harder than hell to kill entirely. And once cornered; they are resourceful and ready to do anything needed to survive. There's a reason why I haven't once been broken up with seeing my fellow humans die. Some of them deserve it even. Necrophiliacs, cannibals, pedophiles, child murderers and rapists. Each of them... deserve everything they get. Oh. And hunters, god damned witch hunters." her fist tightened and she grit her teeth. "I'd love to see each of them die in horrific, and twisted death. And no that's not a wish, just a fantasy." She'd noticed him open his mouth and had acted quickly. "Besides. Why would I waste my third wish now. When there's a LOT of fun to be had." his lips twitched in a smile and he sat forward and steepled his fingers. "Fun?" She gave him an evil grin. "Yes fun. Some might call it 'thinning the herd' My only problem would be to discern the innocent, from the guilty."

He gave her a half lidded look of disgust. "You would conduct your own personal crusade?" She sat back deflated. When he had put it that way she couldn't help but concede that it was a bit insane. "You're right. I'd be no better than those that had persecuted me and those like me." She sighed and got to her feet to clear the table. "I have a little more work to do." She grabbed a few trash bags and began stuffing them with her late husband's old tattered clothes. She stopped at the long leather trench coat. She'd given it to him as a birthday present but instead she took it out to her live-in-djinn. "Hey. I have a present for you." She tossed it to him and he caught it to look it over. The coat was still in new condition and he gave a small smile. "And what's this for?" She leaned against the wall and gave a small smirk. "The whole 'businessman' look is nice and all. But I thought this might be a nice touch." he shrugged on the leather duster and it fit well enough. It gave him a more dangerous air she thought. She grinned and walked over to him. She laid a hand on his chest with a warm smile. "You look almost as dangerous as you really are. Almost." She gave him a soft kiss on his cheek before returning to her work. It took her less than 20 minutes and 3 trash bags to gather up all of the ratty tatty male clothes in her house. She dragged them out to the back yard and Nathaniel followed her.

She took a calming breath and put her palms together. She pulled them apart and a rent in the ground opened in front of them. She tossed the bags in and conjuring a large blue fireball, hurled it down the crevasse. The bags caught as the fell and she kept her concentration up and increased the heat and vaporized the remains of the clothing. She panted softly from the exertion of energies and looked at the rip in the ground with a frown. "Crap...I can't think of how to close it again." Nathaniel was enjoying the show and smirked "Try smoothing it over, like clay." she threw him a glance but nodded. She put her hands out to where they were when she had pulled the earth apart. And pushed them together. The rent closed reluctantly and she smoothed her hand in the air over the rent in her vision. It smoothed over and became level again. She fell to her knees panting. "Not used to using so much energy." She said wearily as she shakily got to her feet and nearly stumbled back into the house. Nathaniel was grinning like a maniac. He'd had no idea that his Waker had had such potential for sorcery. "That was rather impressive for a human. At least for a human of this era." she collapsed onto the couch with a sigh. "Even that book on the simplest basics of elemental control is enough for me to work with for now. I want to learn more. Ye gods I want to learn more but I see now that I need to work on my stamina." Nathaniel sat down next to her with a smile and put his arm behind her on the head rest. "I don't know. Your stamina is pretty good from my experience." She grinned then burst into giggles. "You're such a lech." she teased, her eyes sparkling with mirth. She sat back and turned on the television. She switched it through some of the channels, her eyes drooping because Nathaniel's fingers were playing with her soft hair. She nearly purred at the feeling and gave him a small lazy smile. She stopped on the history channel. She settled in and watched a special on Nefertiti and Tutankhamen they were doing. Every now and again Nathaniel threw in a comment about their idiocy. "He wasn't murdered. Idiots. He fell down the stairs!" Or he'd made appraising comments about the Pharaoh queen. "Those statues really didn't do her justice. She was very beautiful for her day." She held back a laugh because she suspected that he probably had been there. They both froze though when at the end the announcer, one of the lead archaeologists said. "Me and all my crew can only wish that the truth will be revealed about these ancient Pharaoh's, that someday it will be unearthed and we will know the true mysteries that Egypt holds in it's sands." Elysium turned to Nathaniel. "Does that count?" He gave her a wicked grin "I don't see why not." and made a gesture in the air.

Thousands of miles away, the sands of the Egyptian desert shifted in a massive earthquake and ruins that had been buried for millenia uncovered in the aftermath, it had a perfect history of the pharaohs on the walls inside the ancient temples . The archaeologists that had been the television were near by in their camp. The ground around them trembled and the sands began to shift under their feet. Each of them tried to move to safer ground but the sands gave way beneath their feet. Each of the 20 people on the team met an unfortunate demise as they plummeted down through the crevasse in the ground, leading to the base of the ancient structure that rose out of the desert over night.
