The Duel
Martha hastened back to the hotel with Michael in tow, but without Amelia. She feared what task was in front of her: Telling David what had happened to his fiancée. How should she start the conversation?

That question was answered to her, when David saw Martha return without Amelia. "Martha, you're back? Where's Amelia?"

Martha took a deep breath. "David, I have bad news. We run into an evil genie and she took Amelia prisoner."

"Prisoner?" David asked. "How did that happen? What did you do this time?" A mixture of fear and anger was in his voice.

Martha tried to calm David down. "Listen, we ran into Katrin, another genie, who had enslave her boyfriend Mike here." Martha pointed out her companion. Mike bowed slightly to David before Martha continued. "We managed to free him from Katrin's control, but she took Amelia prisoner."

"I thought you genies can't force the mind of a human?" David asked.

"Oh, we can! It's just against the genie laws." Martha explained.

"What a pity that there is no genie police we can ask for help." David said. "What are you going to do now?"

"I'm going to duel Katrin tomorrow morning. If I win, she will hand Amelia over."

"And if you lose?" David asked.

"She will get Michael back and will keep Amelia as well." Martha admitted. "But I won't let that happen."

"I hope so, Martha." David was really worried now. "Is there anything I can do to help you?"

"I could need some help. I need someone to wish that I can use my full potential against her. Otherwise I'm not sure if I can beat her."

"Is she that much stronger than you?" David worried.

"She can't be stronger than me, since I was already a genie for a year when I made her one. But she's a free genie and has full access to her powers."

David gave Martha a disapproving stare. "It was you who made her a genie?"

Martha's lowered her eyes. "I granted her wish and turned her into a genie."

David simply shook his head. "All you genies do is causing chaos."

Martha felt her anger rise. "How dare you..." She closed her fist."

Will you two shut up for a moment!" Michael interrupted them. "For my part, I don't want to become Katrin's slave again. And as far as I see it, Martha is the only person who can stand up against Katrin. David, if you want your girlfriend back, you need Martha's powers. And to defeat Katrin, Martha will need your help. So stop fighting each other and work together, will ya?"

Martha and David looked at each other. Both nodded. "He's right. I'll help you defeat Karin the best I can." David said.

"I can help you too." Michael declared. "Katrin loves to be the center of attention. And since she became a genie, this trait of her became even more dominant. If you flatter her, she might let her guards down."

David took a deep breath. "This sounds like a recipe to disaster. But I'll help you for Amelia's sake. I'll come with you to the duel tomorrow."

"I'll come along too." Michael said.

"Thank you, boys. I really appreciate this." Martha concluded the discussion.

The next morning, Martha, David and Michael met Katrin on an empty soccer pitch at the Dolder Sportspark. "I was worried you wouldn't show up." Katrin teased Martha.

Martha couldn't let that laying down. "I didn't think you would be brave enough to show up."

"I see you brought my boyfriend with you. And who's the other guy?" Katrin asked.

"I'm David, Amelia's fiancée." David introduced himself. "Where is she?"

"Alright, since you brought my boyfriend along, it's just fair to show you your fiancée." Katrin blinked and a small cage with a shrunken Amelia inside appeared.

"David, help me, please!" Amelia begged.

David waved at her. "Don't worry, my sweet! Martha will take care of this meanie genie!" Then he turned his back to Katrin and produced Martha's lamp. "I wish that you beat Katrin for good!"

Martha nodded. "I'll do my very best." Suddenly, without warning, Katrin hurtled a bolt of magic at David and Martha. "Look out!" Martha yelled. Quickly, she raised a magic shield that enveloped her and David. The magic diffused on the shield. "Hey! You keep David out! Eat this!" She unleashed a chain of magic lightning at Katrin. With a swift move, Katrin avoided the lightning, which hit the next soccer goal and set it on fire.

"My turn!" Katrin levitated over the lawn. She floated towards Martha and David, while she threw a series of magic bolts at David and Martha.

With a swift move, Martha placed herself between Katrin and David. "Take cover!" she yelled. Then one magic bolt struck her. Martha's face distorted in pain. "Hide!" She yelled at David.

Martha blinked and teleported right behind Katrin. The pudgy genie was taken by surprise, as Martha stretched her arms and unleashed her magic on Katrin's back.

Katrin took a direct his but except from a few scorched hairs, she took no damage. Enraged, Katrin turned to Martha. Again, she showered the green-skinned genie with a series of magic bolts. This time, the bolts were aimed more precisely. Martha managed to block a few of them, but eventually, she was hit several time. Each hit drained more of Martha's energy until she collapsed on the lawn. Karin prepared to finish of her opponent.

"Superb!" Katrin suddenly heard a voice behind her. She turned and saw David kneeling on the floor. "You are so powerful, so graceful, such a superior genie. You are so much better than Martha." he flattered her.

"You really think so?" Katrin asked with a wicked smile. "Am I like a goddess to you?"

David saw that Martha was still down, but she was slowly moving. He had to buy her more time. "Oh yes, you are my goddess."

"Do you want to serve your goddess forever?" Katrin was now completely fixated on David.

David was in a terrible fix now. Martha was still not ready to fight back. If he would agree to serve Katrin now, he would probably end up as her slave. "Errr... that sounds tempting.... but then..."

Katrin raised her eyebrow. "Are you not sure yet? Or are you just stalling? Anyway, I can help you with your decision." She raised her hands and reached out with her magic for David's mind.

David felt his thoughts change. 'Now would be a good moment, Martha!' he though. Slowly, his resistance against Katrin melted away. Why was he so upset? Katrin was truly a nice person. And she would take good care of him, no doubt. He would do anything she asks for him in return. Desperately, David tried to hold on to the most important thing he had in his mind - Amelia. He tried to envision Amelia's kindness and loyalty, her passion, their deep mutual love... when suddenly, he felt the images of Amelia turning pale in comparison to Katrin. 'No... I don't want to lose Amelia!" he thought.

"GOTCHA!"

Suddenly, David's mind cleared. He focused on Katrin and saw, that golden bands had wrapped around her forearms and legs. The bands led back to Martha, who finally got up on her feet.

"Let me go!" Katrin yelled.

Martha took a deep breath. She focussed her energies and hurled a terrible magic bolt at Katrin. The attack was so hard that it knocked Katrin to the ground.

David rubbed his temples. "Thank you Martha. Is she dead?"

"No, she's just knocked out."

"Good." David said. "And what are you going to do about her now?"
