"Are you Priscilla?"

There was a sprightly blue eyed blond asking me with a firm smile on her face.

She looked determined and strong willed just like he had said. She had a small frame but she was clearly very muscular. She had a warm easy going energy that I quite liked. She had a somber aura, her eyes were troubled and tragic. When she smiled those eyes would sparkle like lights dancing off of blue water.

"Yes I am."

"You know you look rather put out. Are you feeling alright?"

"Oh it's just a combination of the heat and jet lag.

They always tell you to sleep on the plane but I never do. It's hard to shut everything off when you're in a unfamiliar environment. Plus I don't ever want to miss anything. I'm sure I'll feel better once I get my rest and get out of this terrible heat".

She laughed, a little too hard if I might add.

"You're not the only one. You know if you're feeling up to it, I can show you where you'll be staying. It's not far from here actually."

"Yes that would be nice. You must be Dr. Amberson. "

"Who me? Yes I'm still getting used to the whole doctor thing but if it's easier you can just call me Alex. It's short for Alexandra. Most people call me that anyway. So do you go by any nicknames at all?"

"I go by Plunge. It's a old school name. Somebody thought my last name was plunger and so the kids started calling me plunge. It was quite hilarious but I suppose it just stuck after awhile."

I really don't know where I was cooking up all this bullshit. What was even harder to believe was she was actually believing it.

The words just slid off my tongue like butter. Lying my ass off just came naturally as well as speaking every language known to man.

I kept looking over my shoulder to see if anybody was following me. I wasn't worried about it. I wasn't even concerned by the fact that I knew someone was following me because I knew exactly who was following me I the first place.

Then it just dawned on me that I was guilty of doing something terrible. I had committed murder. That man whoever he was had been actually alive at the time.

Oh shit! He could still be alive! He was most likely suffering.

"Well here we are".

Alex announced in a akward childlike manner.

"Are you alright?" She gave me studious look of curiosity.

"I'm fine. It's just the heat. I'm not used to it."

You can do better than that sweet Anna.

I could hear a familiar gravely voice speak to me through the thoughts of my head.

You can hear my thoughts?

I transmitted my answer back with my mind.

Surprised are you? All Djinn have uncanny ability to read the minds of others. I believe in the human tongue it is called Telepathy. We also have the knack for Essokinesis, which is merely the ability to manipulate reality with one's mind.

You should try it some time. It's a real treat messing with the fabric of reality. Yet Let's start with something simple shall we. Read her. Read her thoughts, Anna.

I can't do that just yet. Things are going so well at least so far.

She's only a human. One human. She won't even notice and you if you wish it she will offer you no resistance. No one has to know about it dear Anna.

You'll know and most importantly I'll know. Wait does that mean you've been reading me this whole time?

I could have sweet Anna but since I am somewhat respectable I chose not to. I of course respect your private thoughts. Privacy after all is important.

That's nice and all. I appreciate your discretion and respect. Why is it that your reading my thoughts right now? I don't remember giving you my permission.

We are connected now. So connected. Surely you feel it. The Djinn have a special connection with others of their kind that is with those that are willing to listen.

Djinn are the best listeners. So naturally I've listened to your heart and I've listened to your feelings, your emotions and your energy. I can hear your eternal life force throb and I can hear your aura hum. It's beautiful music to my ears. The rhythm of your fiery heart is like sweet lullaby to my ears. Now you have allowed me to listen to your thoughts.

How could I allowed you without knowing I did?

Perhaps subconsciously you gave me your permission. Perhaps it happened in a single moment.

You embraced me, you touched me, you fussed over me and you in turn adored me.

Oh I suppose that counts as consent to invade my mind and all my secret thoughts? You are unbelievable. You know you're a real piece of work. Just because I showed a bit of tender affection doesn't mean I want to you traipsing around in my brain. You are a arrogant,egotistical, megalomaniac. Consent my ass. You were probably just waiting for this opportunity to jump inside my head. You want to control me. You know I'm more powerful than you. I'm that Ivory Goddess you spoke of aren't I?

You think I'm the ivory Goddess that's written in those stupid books of old. So you probably don't want to get on my bad side. You're probably afraid I'll destroy you. You're just trying save your ass. You want to secure a position by my side. You're just looking out for yourself.

Your gem, your power, your freedom, your sob story, your capture, your people, your world domination. It's all about you.

Now Anna it's not like that. Yes you are the Ivory Goddess. I knew the moment I first discovered you in that wretched ruffian camp.

You are destined for greatness. I am simply here to insure that you reach that throne beyond the gates of the void. I am here to help you. I've only been here to help. I of course want what is my best for your people. I want them to be free just like you are. Don't you understand that when you rule both worlds, I will be your servant?

I will make you lower than any servant when I'm done here.

If you wish it than it will be.

I wish...you wouldn't be so full of yourself. I wish you weren't so arrogant. I wish you respectable just like you said. I wish that weren't so egotistical.

I wish you were actually a gentleman.

So in other words you want me to be a weak, meek, humble and honest ridden nobleman with a conscience and with that sickening thing called empathy. I have neither a conscience nor do I have empathy. I do not feel for humans and will never have a ounce of sympathy for any of them.

Yes I do. I wish it and what I wish will be just like you said. You will have all these virtues. Humility, patience, kindness, honesty and all the other virtues that you lack.

Yes you will have a conscience.

You will ruin me.

That's too bad. It's already done. The change should happen very soon. You can thank me the next time you see me.

Noooooo! You can't do this to me!

Funny thing Habogi is I already did it. It's done and I'm not taking it back. Guess what? You're just going to have to deal with it. Who knows you might even enjoy it. As you Always say Get in the spirit of things and have fun with it.

Virtues are real treasures. They are true gifts. Not everybody has them so consider yourself fortunate.

So I went to my room to rest and wait for him to come around.

He was going to be different. I gave him a conscience and every single virtue known to man.

He very well might get to used to these major changes.He would be more in touch with his sensitive and tender side. Maybe he didn't have that side to him but at least now he could have a soft spot his hard heart. I was just so sick of him hiding things from me. Even though I was fond of him there were certain aspects of his character I did not like. He was a murderer for one thing. He had no regrets for the lives he'd taken and the souls that he had stolen. He had no remorse for the chaos and torment he had created. No one could hold him accountable because he wasn't human and he was a immortal. There was nothing that could kill him and no punishment would be terrible enough for him. He enjoyed torture and loved to see people suffer. He was incredibly strong and invincible so no one could challenge him. My next wish for him is that he be a human for one day so he would know what true powerlessness and helplessness is.

I wanted for him to feel what it was to be truly weak. I wanted to know what it felt like to be without the power to manipulate and control everyone around him.

It's not because I hated him I just simply wanted him to learn a lesson.

Honestly I cared for him. I was just so tired of him being so sneaky and secretive.

Honesty and humility would take care of that and if his new condition pleased me I would allow him to stay that way.

Most importantly it would also depend on well he took on this new inner transformation.

No doubt he was angry at me but that anger I knew would eventually fade once he realized he had developed a tender and sensitive nature.

I did not feel sorry for him in fact I was actually looking forward to what he would do next. This was going to be entertaining. Now all I had to do was wait.
