While the hulder was trying very hard not to berate me and lose the only source of cooling she had available now that I had 'lost' the ring, my Master sneaked up behind her and hoisted her off the ground by her cow's tail. Chortling with glee, he reinforced to me the advice he had given as we glided back through the ancient city regarding my semi-djinn existence, and then sped away into the distance, promising to drop the ring at some likely point, still carrying the squalling Woe by the tail.

"You'll be of assistance there, I think. Like it or not," gloated my Master. We returned to the surface, blocking all the tunnels and crevices as we went back through them. Then I looked away for a moment, and the ifrit male seemed to have disappeared, although I knew he had other plans. My role was to walk up the ravine, without either the ring or the crystal shard, and allow Wealhtheow to react in whatever fashion. She would be unable to enchant me now that I belonged to the diamond ring.

"This desert resulted from that explosion," the ifrit said unexpectedly. "Everything living within a hundred miles was vaporized. Even the fey. Long before my time, but I heard the legend once, and having seen and felt the thing, I find that I can believe its veracity." "Thea, she meant to use it to destroy?" I asked, rhetorically, yet dumbfounded. "Oh yes. And I couldn't let you help her do that. Plus, I didn't especially like being enslaved. Now I'm free to get even with her for that!"

"She cozened you into the diamond when you were under her spell, didn't she?" I said, leaping to conclusions which seemed obvious from hints the blue djinn had dropped. "I was a fool to get within her range," he muttered. Pointing toward the ruined crystal, the male ifrit, now my Master, told me, "You won't like slavery, but it's better than what that... " he spat between monstrous incisors, on purpose this time, "...hulder female had in store for you. Stupid boy," he added, without malice.
