towards the fireball, stopping it in its tracks. Balin took notice, he looked straight at me. Jinn turned around and saw the wizard standing ahead of us, his legs was merely smoke as he hovered over the ground quickly.
       Jinn stepped out in front of me, his body was fully transformed. He has taken over, he can only be this way if Jinn let him. He stood there, looking at the wizard, his movements were trailed by a black mist. In the most luminous, yet deep voice I could ever imagine, he spoke: "I am shade. I am Al Shayir. And I will be your end." I could hear some of Jinn in him as well. Jinn began to run towards the wizard, but the other wizard didn't budge.
       What happened next I couldn't even believe.
       Jinn shot straight up into the sky with a speed that I could barely keep track of. Darting down behind the wizard, who know disappeared into a black smoke, but he was too slow. Jinn's shade merged within his, I couldn't see past the smoke. Jinn's body slowly faded back into form, trailed by the black mist, he landed in the middle of the field. In his hand, he held the wizard in his grasp by the throat. squirming under his weight, Balin and I couldn't move before what happened next.
       He did it. Holy jesus, I haven't seen power like this in ages. The power of a djinni.
       A black pulse traveled through his arm, into the wizard's body and shot out a thinly veiled black force pushing me back slightly. Jinn got up leaving the wizard on the floor, he laid there motionless, Jinn yelled out in a frightening voice. Coming back towards me, he walked by without looking at me and headed straight to Sonia's body. I turned to look, as he knelt down to her.
       "Sonia." He said softly, changing back to normal. Picking up her head, he placed it on his lap carefully. I stood near and watched, keeping an eye on Balin as well, who stood still as the ritual continued. Sonia murmured off a word, I couldn't hear. Jinn jolted upward at the sound.
       "Sonia! Hey, stay with me." Jinn said holding her, "Balan! Help!"
       I could see her arm reaching up, grabbing ahold of Jinn's gripping him weakly. Her body didn't move, her legs twisted on the floor.
       "Jinn. I--" She said in a hoarse voice, "help them." She raised her arm pointing towards the children as if it looked like she had spent her remaining energy to do so.
      Afterwards, she drifted asleep as her small heart fought tirelessly within her chest. Jinn huddled over her, gripping her tightly, he brushed her hair as tears leaked from him onto her face. Jinn didn't say anything, he merely sat there as his strong hands gently cradled her in his arms. His cry was now the sole thing that echoed the old stadium. For the first time in my life, I could feel the pain Jinn exper-ienced.
       And it fucking pissed me off.
       Brother or not, there is no excuse.
       You are fucking dead.
       "Brother!" I yell to him walking into the storm, "How could you do this?" Standing face to face with him. He held his stance, and kept the ritual going no matter what.
       "Balan, my dear brother, for decades you sat by idle as our brothers and sisters were hunted. For years you sat by and lived in their world as they destroyed ours. How could you call yourself a wizard?" Balin said to me.
       "And this? This is right?" I said to him, removing the sheath from my cane revealing the obsidian blade.
       "The sacrifice of the few will help the many. This will bring an end to this fruitless war and once again bring mages back into the light!" Balin said, his eyes glared at me unnervingly. 
   "What are you doing?" I ask, looking into the sky. I raised my cane and point it right to his heart, "don't make me do this, you need to stop this now."
       "You cannot stop this anymore brother. Once it has started, it cannot end until it's over." Balin said.
       "You already lost one vessel. Stop brother." I pleaded, I must end this now. The lives of the children are waning every
