Jinn

Jinn is a Fae (Spirit) often encountered at the edges of human habit—old wells, ruined caravanserais, lonely crossroads and abandoned hearths. Field notes: presence is economical and precise; they rarely roar, preferring clipped gestures and the economy of a smile. Smell: a thin trace of ozone braided with dried oud or desert thyme. Sound: a tinkling like small metal chimes at a distance, or a voice that mimics a remembered friend just out of reach. Temperature: a sudden, unnatural chill—not the damp cold of water, but the dry bite of a desert night that slips through wool. Physically they are inconsistent: sometimes a waft of smoke, sometimes a shadow that blinks at the corner of the eye, always leaving more questions than footprints.
