The Jinni/Ahmad Timeline & Summary
MoreThe Jinni/Ahmad Timeline & Summary
- The Jinni springs forth from his flask, where he's been held for a thousand years, into Arbeely's shop.
- He helps Arbeely with tinsmithing, but is just so bored with it.
- He seduces Sophia, whom he meets in Central Park, and forgets all about her.
- Wandering around the city one night, he meets the Golem, and the two agree to weekly walks to build their friendship.
- During the week, he starts crafting increasingly intricate works for art for Arbeely, like an ornate tin ceiling and beautiful necklaces.
- He's being followed by two men: Mahmoud Saleh, who is possessed but can see the Jinni for what he really is, and Joseph Schall, a creepy old man who is actually a reincarnated evil wizard.
- When the Golem brings the Jinni to the dance hall, he turns out to really know how to move.
- The Golem ends up losing control and attacking her friend's abusive boyfriend, and the Jinni stops it.
- Anna, the Golem's friend, later blackmails him, and he pays her, but tells her not to do it again or she'll pay the price.
- Meanwhile, he makes friends with Matthew, a young boy with a dying mother, and makes him an apprentice.
- When Schall finally catches up to the Jinni, he gets his memory back. He seduced a girl back in the Syrian Desert, which left her in a coma, and ended up being the reason the Jinni was hunted down and put in a bottle. Sounds like this is a bad habit of his…
- Not wanting to be anyone's slave again, the Jinni tries to kill himself, but the Golem saves him.
- They go after Schall, who has Anna hostage, and during the confrontation, Saleh puts Schall in the flask.
- The Jinni takes the flask to the jinnis of the desert to watch over it, but he decides to return to his new home: New York City.
