Alliance in the Shadows

Gathering of Forces

In a grand hall deep beneath the earth, leaders of both jinn and humans gather under one roof for the first time in history. The hall is illuminated by strange blue flames, and in the center stands King Iad of the jinn, with his usual majestic presence and glowing eyes like flames.

• Iad (in a deep voice): "For the first time, we stand together, jinn and humans. The threat that Ragheb brings is not only a danger to humans but to our world as well."

• Sheikh Haza (calmly): "But we know that an alliance with the jinn is not without its cost. What do you ask of us, Iad?"

• Iad (calmly): "Nothing but loyalty. We will fight with you, and we will help destroy Ragheb. But… one betrayal means the end of this alliance."

Everyone in the hall understands the gravity of the situation, but Sheikh Sifan, the eldest of the sheikhs, agrees after deep thought.

• Sifan: "There will be no betrayal. Humans and jinn will fight together."

Suspicion in the Shadows

During the meeting, Ziyan notices a hidden tension between Ragheb's advisor, Shimar, and some of the jinn leaders.

• Ziyan (whispering to Samer): "I don't trust Ragheb. This alliance feels like a trap."

• Samer (sarcastically): "Haven't you heard, Ziyan? We're friends with everyone now… even the jinn!"

• Ziyan: "That doesn't reassure me. But I'll be watching."

After the agreement, Iad proposes using one of the unknown powers of the jinn world: time travel.

• Iad: "We can send two of you to the future, 120 years from now. They will see if the alliance has endured or been broken. This is the only way to ensure its continuity."

• Sifan: "It's a risk, but it might be our only chance."

• Ziyan (enthusiastically): "Samer and I will go."

• Samer: "Wait, who said I agreed?"

• Ziyan: "Do you want to stay here and miss the adventure?"

• Samer (smiling): "Of course not, but you're buying me a good dinner after this."

The Transition

The jinn ritual is performed under the direct supervision of Iad. Ziyan and Samer stand in the center of a circle carved into the earth, glowing with magical symbols.

• Iad: "What you will see is only the result of our decisions here. Pay attention to everything, and don't forget to return with the message."

With a blinding blue light, Ziyan and Samer vanish from sight.

The Bleak Future

Ziyan and Samer find themselves in a dark world.

• The villages are destroyed, and the sky is dark, as if filled with ash.

• Ziyan: "Is this what remains of the alliance?"

• Samer: "It seems Ragheb betrayed everyone."

As they wander, they find an ancient manuscript describing how Ragheb used the alliance to kill the sheikhs and the strongest warriors. But the surprise comes when mentioning Shimar.

• Samer: "Look here… Shimar wasn't part of the betrayal."

• Ziyan: "She's with us then. We'll need to find her."

Shimar in the Shadows

After a long search, they find Shimar hiding in the ruins of an old palace.

• Shimar (quietly): "I couldn't bear Ragheb's betrayal. But I couldn't do anything… the soldiers killed almost everyone."

• Ziyan: "It's time to change that. We need you."

• Shimar: "If you want to fight, I'll stand by you."

Building a New Army

With Shimar's help, Ziyan and Samer begin to rebuild an army.

• They gather survivors from humans and some jinn who refused to betray Iad.

• Training begins intensely for everyone.

• Samer (laughing): "Ziyan, I think I'm starting to understand why they sent you. You have a talent for annoying everyone."

• Ziyan: "And your main talent is complaining!"

The First Confrontation

Ragheb leads a massive army to wipe out the last remnants of resistance.

• Ziyan's army faces their first battle, and it is extremely difficult.

• Shimar proves her loyalty by confronting Ragheb's jinn commander.

• Ziyan (angrily): "This won't be the end. We are stronger than you think."

The Truth Revealed

In the midst of the battle, Ziyan confronts one of the soldiers who confesses that Iad himself was betrayed and killed by Ragheb.

• Ziyan: "Iad… so it wasn't just Ragheb, but the jinn too betrayed their alliance."

• Samer: "This means we are completely alone."

New Beginning

Despite their defeat in the first battle, Ziyan and Samer continue to fight.

• They begin to rebuild the alliance between humans and jinn on new foundations, based on trust and courage.

• Ziyan (determined): "We won't let Ragheb or anyone else erase our legacy. We will restore our glory, no matter the cost."
