Chapter 17
Soul of Egyptian King
"Lily there is nothing to be afraid of, you are a brave girl. But it's OK. You can sleep with us tonight. Come with me" said Mike.
Next day, on her way back to home from school, Lily's school bus dropped her at the security gate of Meadows. She started to walk towards her home. She noticed a shadow from her right approaching her from behind. Soon a man started to walk with her. Lily looked at the man, it was Dijinn.

"Stop following me. Leave me alone" shouted Lily and went running to her home. She was really scared of everyone unknown.
In the evening she went to the park to play with Veer and Monira.
"Lily, did you meet Dijinn again? Did you ask he\im why he took us to the fountains the other night?" said Veer.
Lily told them everything about her dream last night and the message on the wave.
"Did you talk to Dijinn about it" asked Monira.

"No I am scared of him as well. I don't know who is he and what he really wants from me" said Lily.
"But I have told you everything about myself Lily. You don't trust me?" said a voice from behind.
All three of them turned back. It was Dijinn.
"O Dijinn, thank god you are here. Lily was so scared" said Veer.
"Scared of what Lily? Why did you run away from me?" said Dijinn
Lily told him everything about the dream and the wave.
"Hmmm. When you woke up in the morning yesterday, did you see anyone unknown around you?" asked Dijinn.
"No. I was in my room. Who would come there." said Lily.
"Did you see anyone outside your house? Anyone? Anything strange or different" asked Dijinn.
"No. When I woke up just saw good view outside and a man walking down the street with a blue umbrella" said Lily.
"Don't worry. I always keep an eye on you. Nothing will ever happen to you" said Dijinn. "I wanted to talk to you about something very important yesterday. But clearly someone doesn't want me to reach you."
"Who? and Why?" asked Veer
"Sharr" said Dijinn
"Sharr! Is he still in Dubai" said Monira panicking.
"Yes. And which is why I need help from Lily." said Dijinn
"But how can she help you? asked Veer
"Lily, you come from the country from where Sharr came" said Dijinn
"Georgia! Really!" said Lily.
"Yes" said Dijinn "And we believe that you can help us. You are going to Georgia next week and must bring back something with you from there."
"Why don't you get it yourself. Why do you need me" asked Lily.
"Lily, I told you before, I am bound to this land. I can't go anywhere. But I did make an attempt to do it in past.
I called out for help from the ancestors to protect the city. Few days later, a soul of an ancient Egyptian king, Takhun, visited me. Unlike me, Takhun could travel to all the places across the world.
I thought, to stop Sharr, we could bind him to his land from where he came originally. So I requested Takhun to get the soil from the land where Sharr lived before he came to Savannah.
Takhun went to a village in Borjomi of Georgia, but he could not find the exact place where Sharr lived. So he picked up the complete village along with its river and brought it to Dubai. The village was huge, spread across various kilometers squares of land. He placed the village in the desert area which falls after Jebel Ali.
The village is now part of Dubai. It is now called The Riverland"
All the kids were mouth opened on hearing this.
"I was there last weekend" said Veer in a scared shaky voice.
"So what happened then" said Monira turning her head from Veer back to Dijinn.
"It didn't work as we expected. Bringing the land didn't play any role. In-fact it made Sharr very angry and with his powers he froze Takhun." said Dijinn. "In front of Wafi mall, have you seen huge statues of Egyptian King?"
"Yes, many times, on my way to Dubai Airport" said Veer instantly.
"That's Takhun" said Dijinn
"But there are more Egyptian statues than one. Who are they?" asked Monira
"Remaining are just the statues. They were created to give a design around the incident, to hide the real identity of Takhun."
"Isn't there a way to un-statue Takhun?" asked Lily
"Yes, there is, which is why I have come to you, to ask for help" said Dijinn
