Chapter 57 Birth

Nuha was lying back on a luxurious chair as were her sisters. They had all decided to take it easy, each of them healing after all that had transpired with the battle. Nuha cursed inside she’d almost lost her precious sister Abla because of the Ever Last Master Jake. Then there was that bitch of the ex Queen Qistina.

Looking over at both her sisters, Nuha knew they had to hide for a while not because so many of the dark army was gone, but due to their need to heal and plan. Still the longer she sat there the more furious she became. For the last few days an idea had been forming, an idea to finally rid both dimensions of that bastard Master Jake!

Abla lying on another luxurious chair soon recognized the look that was starting to form on Nuha’s face. Damn it! They had lost twice against the Ever Last Master Not only their lives and powers also their very souls had nearly been destroyed! Sighing she loved her sisters but Nuha was going to get them killed!

Nuha felt a prickling on the back of her neck as her head snapped around to stare into the eyes of Abla. “Not to worry my dear sister if we do anything I am going to make sure that we don’t fail again. Almost losing you was more than enough to shake me to the core.”

“I am not wanting to fight you Nuha, I am just afraid that this time we took on too much. With as many as he had I can’t think of a way we could defeat him let alone get close.” Abla replied.

Fatin turned toward Nuha as she also spoke up, “I am afraid I agree sister. There was way more power than I have ever felt since the war. Don’t you think it might be time to sit this one out?”

Nuha’s mouth dropped open, were her sisters actually afraid? Looking closer at them she had to shake her head yes, she could see that perhaps they were! “Are you telling me that you wish to sully our reputation?” She replied to them both.

“Sister you are extremely smart but even you can see that there is no way we can defeat him or them!” Then Abla was looking hard at Nuha. “Your thinking of using sex to get close to him again aren’t you?” Abla could only shake her head. Was her sister losing her mind? There was no way any of them could resist the sexual draw of that human male!

“As I said I will not make a move ‘til I have a plan that won’t get any of us killed. Besides...” Nuha started.

Suddenly a voice was assailing their ears. “I do not mean to interrupt you sisters. My mistress wishes to have a word with you.”

Nuha looked around then nodded. “Hello Zahra you bitch! Here to try and get us killed again? I don’t think so. If you actually have a mistress then I am not that certain I wish to be near her. After all anyone who can command you, has a far reaching intelligence that matches my own. So no thank you to whatever plans she or you may have.”

“You think so little of me Nuha? I was stopped as you were back then. I am not stupid; I recognized that the war was a lost effort as I saw what you and your sisters did.” Zahra replied.

“It is no secret how much you hate everyone including Jinn kind. As I said no thank you, now go away bitch you’re spoiling a decent day.” Nuha said as she brushed Zahra off.

There was a moment as Zahra was talking to another then she said, “Even if your powers were increased?”

Nuha started to laugh, “I have the dark magic infused within me. I doubt that it could be increased. Besides at the moment we are looking for another that owes all three of us.”

“Ah! You are still seeking Tankena. My mistress says he could be there with you with a wish.” Zahra said a sly smile creeping onto her features.

“Ha! As if! You haven’t the power. Tankena’s power has increased ten-fold since you last saw him. All three of us find it striking in him though we have him with the promise he made. That is, as soon as we catch him that is!”

With a soft chuckle Zahra nodded, she had an edge after all. “Well I was offering good luck finding him this time.” With that she started to go when Abla sat up.

“You were offering what? As I remember the last time you left all three of us to die. Had it not been for Nuha we would have been. As Nuha said you are not to be trusted EVER! So please go the hell away!” Alba told her.

Zahra was surprised that the weakest of the three had the most conviction against her! Damn she was going to have to find another way to draw them in. Nodding again she vanished wincing knowing her mistress wouldn’t be happy. Then again she was a brilliant human she might have an idea that would work.

Tankena breathed a sigh of relief after he’d tentatively reached out feeling there were no magic users near. Settling in, he reduced all his power to as low as he could go. Ha! Now let any of those bitches find him! One he could handle maybe even two, though with Nuha and the dark magic she commanded he wasn’t that sure.

A small orb was nearby as he grabbed it and lay down. God he was tired building his powers all these years had been exhausting. With any luck they’d stop looking after a few hundred years. Shaking his head he knew better those damn bitches never gave up.

He’d just settled in when a small orb popped in. Settling in front of him he made no move, these things were always movement activated. Then a face appeared in it a face he knew all too well. Zahra! What in the hell did that evil bitch want?

“Tankena, I know you are here. I have these orbs at all the places you would hide. You are rather predictable, though I am not here for anything of much consequence. My mistress would like your help. Come now Tankena you’re not still mad about that are you? Send an answer as I have been instructed to keep this up ‘til you answer.” Zahra’s voice stated then the orb went dark.

Tankena silently cursed she had him for the moment as soon as he left she’d be right on his trail. Even destroying the orb would do no good. Even he wasn’t that fast! Thinking an idea came to him as he reached out. Nodding, he soon felt the other orbs she had at other locations.

Smiling, he slowly started to send out energy to several of the others places. Slowly he brought his hands together as at least ten of her other orbs exploded. Immediately the orb in the next room winked out as he did. I have to find a new place he thought.

Zahra cursed as ten of her orbs were destroyed damn an old trick! Waving her hand she detected where Tankena had been, trying to follow him she was surprised when she felt that his power was three times higher than she remembered. Interesting it was almost as high as hers! An evil smile lit up her face as she nodded so he was a match for her now, good! It would be delicious when she broke him beneath her as she took him in sex!

Jake watched the orb as he tried to measure what all his enemies were up to. It had taken all of the Jinns concentration to create it though seeing what Marie and Zahra were up to was still hard to see. Obviously Zahra had a hell of a lot more power than they at first had thought.

So Jake thought Marie it seemed was still trying to get over on all of them. Strange though she was no longer after Juno, he had been her main hatred for so long. Shaking his head he had to smile at the responses Zahra had gotten from the trio and Tankena. Actually it had been almost comical, if the situation wasn’t as dangerous as it was.
