╞═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╡

   You grab the girl and fly straight through the door and towards the pentacle which is crudely drawn onto the dusty ground, surrounded by broken-off dead trees and dusty winds blowing through the rolling dunes. You lower the girl a bit as you fly down and she hastily takes hold of the amulet; it would not be best for you to even touch such an object of high power.
 "If you survive, you better not summon us again unless it's -important-." you say as the fiery afrit shot a detonation straight past you; the azure-green flame strikes another building, blowing it completely apart. You swiftly dodge incoming bricks and the afrit's plasms and the such. You quickly turn your head and cast a convulsion; the azure-green threads shoot out, but the afrit conjures an essence shield which blocks the tiny threads. You curse to yourself and turn back to the girl whilst flying.
 "Put the damn amulet on!" you shout to her. She nods and tries to wrap it around her neck, almost dropping it. That should protect her, but not yourself. The amulet is producing such a bright aura that you can't even look on the seventh plane without being blinded. You charge a strong detonation and fling it behind you; a bright azure-green explodes and swirls behind you, shrouding the afrit completely. That should delay him.
   You search around for a possible escape route; if you head to Jerusalem, the afrit would easily be killed. But that's a problem, because you can't see the city anywhere. In fact, it seems that you're in a vast desert.

By the way, how did we end up in a desert? Weren't we just in a city? Or do you mean that surrounding the city is a desert?

╞═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╡

  Water, of course; afrits are useless in water as they are beings of fire. You continue to fly, avoiding the afrit's plasms and detonations and hear the sounds of water--a waterfall. Right around the corner of this hill. You lead the afrit through and suddenly leap over the cataract where the afrit pummels down into the water. Part of the water where he lands boils into steam. Seems like your wit saved you again.

 "Now that -that's- handled, I believe we're lost." you say. The girl is simply gasping for breath, still shocked from the way you flew with her. You shrug and set her down by the rushing waters of the cataract where you cup some water in your hands. Your essence is aching so you change form into a normal human girl before doing so. Ariana eagerly takes your hand and drinks the water. You cup more water and tip it into her thirsty mouth until she stops drinking and wipes her mouth.

 "....thank you..." she weakly says. Now that was unexpected--a magician thanking you? Never happened in your life. Ariana lays down and brushes her long black hair from the front of her face. She takes a cup of water and splashes it onto her face, cleaning all the dust and grime off1.
1. Which didn't make her look any better, being a filthy human and all that. If anything, the dirt made her look more like a cruel person who is greedy, selfish, murderous, enslaving, weak, lowly, ambitious, and overall just undesirable. And don't forget ugly. And the list goes on.

   You simply look down at her as she finishes washing her face and the blood off her leg where it got severed. She takes a deep breath.
 "Okay. We need to make shelter."
 "Correction: you need to make shelter. I'm completely fine being outside, much better to feel the cold air than to be inside as a slave."
 "Then at least help me make one." she said with a scowl.
 "What are the magic words?" you say, ever-so wanting to hear the word please. You hear her begin to mutter the incantation of the Systematic Vice2 before you shake your head hastily.
2. The Systematic Vice; one of the many terrible punishments magicians use to make us submit to their will. This particular one sends a nasty spray of threads which compresses the essence to a painful size. Imagine it being like taking hundreds of small strings, tying them around your arm and wrist, and just tightening them where it cuts into the skin.

 "Not -those- magic words, the other ones." you say. She starts to incant the words of the essence lance3 before you stop her.
3. Ditto. Fires a lance of painful magic at the unfortunate spirit.

 "You know what I mean. This is where I remind you that I can kill you at anytime." you say with a solemn nod. The girl sighs and returns the gesture.
 "..Please?" she feebly says. You immediately begin to gather sticks and start to bind them together with strings of essence, lashing them and the such. You then gather some palm leaves from the surrounding forestry and cover the frame of the structure, resulting in a fashionable shelter. You pat your hands together, looking down at your fine handiwork--a djinni is swift and quick with it's hands. Except when you're in a guise with many limbs like a spider. You can't do spiders.

 Put an Not-Immediately-Apparently(or active) but effective curse on the human, which only becomes active if she tries any more of the nasty incantations.

How do we get more essence?

Can we suck it from our dying "mistress"?

I agree, but only if such curse would be non-lethal. Think shock-collar.

 How about something like the curse of David? Anything she inflicts on his, is also inflicted on her as well.

Only at a hundredth of the power rather than double. Anything which can hurt us probably can kill her outright.

This, with the counter spell being equal strength, is essentially what we can do with a birth name.

╞═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╡

   There are two ways you can regenerate essence: you can either return to the Other Place and regain your strength quickly, or eat other things (animals, humans, lesser entities) and absorb their essence.

A curse, a curse... You don't really know any excellent curses, the good ones would be a pestilence or something else, but you don't know how to cast one. Only one thing you can do now: bluff.
 "If you keep on doing that, I'll curse you." you say as a realization comes to you; this girl is still your master, even if she didn't place the charge not to harm her. Although she wouldn't to anything to stop you, she isn't acting in the master sort of way.

 "Sorry. Sorry for ten years ago when I treated you like a slave. I was wrong." she conceded.
 "Oh, it's alright,"
It wasn't that alright.
 "I still don't trust you tho-"
 "My birth name is Charlotte." she suddenly said. That was the one thing you weren't expecting.
 "And how can I tell that you're being truthful?" you ask. The girl simply sighed and began to incant the words of the Essence Lance. Energy swirled around her and jetted towards you with an azure light.

 "Charlotte." you simply said, creating the proper counter-spell. The essence lance suddenly changed trajectory and bolted back at her. She dodges it in surprise. So that is her true name, then.
