The Jinn by pandemonium_213
Fanwork Notes
I wrote this story in August/September of 2008 so it is hardly new, but I'm posting it (at last) on the SWG archive as a modest contribution to the theme of original characters. Chapter 15, "A Midsummer Night's Converse" in The Elendilmir engendered this story, and it ties in with The Man Who Grew Tomatoes. The time is ca. 1699-1700, Second Age of Middle-earth and takes inspiration from the Ramayana and mythology of the Middle East. The setting is distinctly the Pandë!verse.

Summary:
While leading his tribe into the deep desert to escape the inevitable war between the Zigûr and the Sea-kings, Sharif finds a woman — injured and unconscious — among the rocks. He discovers this is not a mortal woman, but one of the immortal demons of the north. He is ready to kill her, but the tribe's priestess stays his hand, warning him that slaying the jinn would bring terrible misfortune to his tribe. His wives care for the jinn, who recovers and aids the tribe as they journey to the East in search of a mysterious land where they hope to find sanctuary, the jinn no less than Sharif and his tribe as they flee from the Zigûr and the Sea-Kings.
