Instead of the normal natural formations, there was a door set into the stone face of a wall. Beyond that door was a chamber made of stone and lit by the torches lining the walls. Wooden furniture filled the room, all of it looking as if it were assembled from centuries of looking. At the room's center was a cauldron with the liquid with in it giving off a barely perceptable mist.
Next to it was something that looked to be a rather large snake. More likely a cobra by the hood on its head. And it was complaining.
"Do this Karna. Do that Karna. Why are going so slow Karna? She never gives me any respect... URK!" The snake looked up to see what had a stranglehold on it and saw what appeared to be a beautiful woman.
Cold emerald eyes glared into the serpent's slitted ones. "Were you saying something?"
"No Mistress! Of course not Mistress!"
The woman through it down with a sneer of disgust marring her delicate features. "That is good to hear. And very good for your health, my familiar."
"Oh thank you, oh great and powerful Mistress!"
"Save me your platitudes," she pronounced as she swung her shapely body around, "I have not the time or the patience to listen to empty lies."

Her familiar got a closeup view of a length of bare leg before being held in a stranglehold again. "Well, NINE djinn just showed up and used their magic. Each are very powerful, and together the possibilities are endless!"
"That's... good... your wonderousness..."
"Precisely. I MUST have those djinn for my own, so that I might have the power that they would grant me!"
"But... what if... they already have a master?"
"Then I will simply have to get rid of the fool, now won't I?"
"Gak! Yes..." *cough* "Of course..."
A smile curved her full lips. "And once I do that, nothing will be able to stop me..."
"More power to you, Khatraa, most greatest of... sha'ir..."
"Yes. More power to me! But I must prepare, for I will have to bind them as soon as I can."
