Meryem Salima Abdallah
"Genie of Seduction and Order."
Inside the luxurious vastness of her lamp and unseen by humans, Meryem danced through her living quarters, flickering from one place to another like a flimsy and beautiful ghost; tidying up things here and there amidst her lithe moves. Her heavy dark waves twirled around her face in synch, and she hummed happily as now and then she would cross her beautiful and immortal reflection. Freedom had it's advantages, she thought to herself. Meryem continued dancing, changing into different colored outfits using her magic as she appeared and disappeared within her lamp.
She stopped cold, her humming breaking off oddly and suddenly, her outfit paused on a crimson red tube top, scarlet belly ring, a matching flowing skirt, and ruby red eyes that glistened dangerously as she felt a sensation that she hadn't felt in nearly a century. It wasn't uncomfortable, but it wasn't entirely welcomed either. She felt as if a hand (that of a man, early twenties, she sensed) was trailing up and down her back in a broken rhythm. Her eyes narrowed dangerously as she realized what this meant. And worst of all, she realized how she had no say over what happened next.
Meryem's genie nature forced her out of her lamp as a trail of ruby smoke upon her summoning. She landed agilely on her bare feet, glowing luminescent in the darkness that surrounded her and her new master. Her eyes laid themselves on him, realizing that even though dressed in unimpressive clothes, he was a beautiful man. For some reason she could not comprehend, she attached himself to him willingly as the laws of the lamp bounded her to him, and for once, she did not find the sensation revolting. For once, she welcomed it.
She heard his wishing words, commanding and patronizing, as she sensed the being of another genie. Meryem realized in seconds that he was not only holding her lamp, but that of another surviving genie, whom she felt to be Dyanna Alcatrez. She smiled dazzlingly at her new master, happy to serve him and happy to be close to one of her sisters.
“Meryem Abdallah, at your service, master,” She said, bowing. Her voice, although quiet, pierced the air around her in a usually terrifying rhythm. Meryem’s ruby eyes glinted mysteriously. “As you wish it, so it shall be.” Their surroundings dissolved, replaced by the inside of a master bedroom of what seemed like a magnificent castle. Heaps of precious gems and gold lined the walls, where the finest paintings hung. All furniture in the room was made of delicate silk, and her Master’s knives, as requested, hung in a glass canister near the king-sized bed. Overall, the room was fit for the most powerful of sultans – someone just like the newly transformed man before her. Fulfilling his wish entirely, Meryem had donned him in the finest black and red robes, making his obvious beauty glow even brighter. She remained standing in front of him, immobile, as if nothing had changed.
“As for your third wish…” she started, it’s answer immediately granted to her through her magic. She twisted a lock of her midnight black hair and flickered to his side, whispering in his ear, “It was your brother.”
