Djinn 1: Sila/Golem

The first djinn to drop by called itself a sila, but it was plain to see it was in actuality the golem I'd been expecting. Made entirely of mud, it displayed ill intent from the start. First it tried to lure me into the yawning hollow void of the grave it dug of itself. But a sila, if it was a sila, cannot change its shape, so it fooled me nary a whit nor an iota. Nay, of it I clearly steered. Then, it made like a mountain and loomed large before me, threatening avalanche. But a golem, if it was a golem, cannot harm its master, which I had become by proxy, and so I feared it not. Eventually it grew weary of devising its nefarious plans and gave up. It simple eroded away. I was so elated, I rewarded myself with a pretzel.
