After seeing Nichole's new home, the girls where later, flown to Saudi Arabia, for their friend's: Neki's contest. Them, along with many other foreigners, onlookers, scientists and wizards, look on in excitement, to see who'll win the "Allah's Path" contest

The friends scoot into the stands, many conversations and cheering almost drown out their conversation...

"This is the right place: The "Contest Kaaba", is one of the many, created for testing evolutions and exposing the best from the country..." Erri says, they sit down and look at the other side of the arena... "Even though we're not from here, we all need to wear the local attire... and are separated from the males...". The woman turns toward Lytning, "Though, I'm still unsure how YOU got in this side...", her boyfriend sighs "I don't know how either, I forgot the law, and was just following you girls... When I saw the guard, I remembered and thought I'd be kicked out...", he turns toward her... "Do I look "girly" to you?". Ami cheers "I can't wait to see the contest!",

Mel answered "Me neither, I can't wait to watch them work it!!!". Erri turns toward her "Mel, you're wearing a belly dancer's costume!? You're suppose to wear a hijab, not dress like a hooker!", Mel replies "But I wanted to get some attention from the someone here: maybe Arabs are a little bit braver! Plus...", she smiles "Call me: Sweetheart! We're friends, girls!". The woman sighed... "We wanna call you Mel...", Nichole sighed "I'll never call you "Sweetheart", ever...". Mel giggles "Ah, you don't hafta act like that, I love you girls! Speaking of which: ...", she turns toward her cousin "Ciel, why are wearing a niqab? You don't have to cover you face!". Ciel replies "I like how it looks, it feels... "exciting", to have!",

she looks at the sand covered arena...

"My dear friend, Neki, will finally display her hard work today. I am overjoyed that she will show us the full extent, and power of her abilities: Back at home, she is classified as a branch of Botany, a: Herbalist. She naturally produces plant mineral, nutrients and DNA, to create plant life, via "talking" to the earth. Her body naturally produces the substance, according to the scientists branch. I surely hope, that my dear, sweet friend will win!"

The host of the contest, finally says "Ladies and gentlemen! I am proud to present, the 2 prodigies, of our kingdom! This contest will decide which path, Allah will show us to take: Magic of the gods? Or the intelligence and abilities, he's given us?"

A girl flies out onto the arena... "In this corner, is: Mikayala Abdullah! The most powerful Jaini, in Saudi Arabia! And... in this..." Ciel watches Neki, walk onto the arena...

"I am so elated, we are almost all here, supporting each other! After all these years, we rarely had time to be together, as we were when we were children. Despite only few of us being here, right now, the fact we are with our friend: Neki, after not seeing her in ages, reminds me of when we all used to sing in choir together! This feels so beautifully, exciting!"

The narrator finishes "...is: Neki Karim! The strongest Herbalist in our kingdom!". Her friends cheer for her "You can do it, Neki!" Mel cheered, "Get her, "Flower Girl"!" Nichole yells! Neki glares "I told them not to call me that!" she thought.

The narrator then says "We first, must pray to Allah. All Arabians and friends, please bow your heads...", all Arabians and religious visitors, bow... Ciel bows in respect, while Faire prays... The narrator then says: "Begin!!!"! Mikayla and Neki open their eyes!

The Jaini starts  growing grass, flowers  and trees! Neki stretches her arms out, grass and flowers start growing around her! She thought as she sees her grassy field, compared to the forest growing in front of her "I trained to make my plant life "thicker", not bigger... She already has a forest, while I'm making a teeny grove...", the Arabic girl could here her friends, cheering for her as she struggles to make trees...

Meanwhile, Faire saw another guardian, standing over Mikayla! "It's Amber!!! I want to speak to her... I want to see how many came, and how they're here... but, unless Ciel goes to talk to Mikayla, or for any reason stands close to her... I can't see Amber...  I can't even take a step away from Ciel...", meanwhile, Neki saw Mikayla's forest, started covering the entire arena! She looks down, "I'm going to lose, in front of al'umu and Baba, I'm going to look like a ghabi, in front of my 'ashab too! I wish that all this training, all this work, and calling off so much time with them, wouldn't be for nothing!", she then prays "Allah, please do not let me lose... If I can not repay everyone, by khalaq a forest in the Kaaba, then let me create one outside of the Mecca, out on the area surrounding it, so might show I have not shirked, I have not ignored my friends!". Mikayla leers "Praying to Allah, won't save you now! I am the path of the kingdom, he has chosen magic to rule our land, and you have only become lucky up to this point. I wanted to see your power, but now I'll win this!", she laughs... A HUGE forest starts erupting around them!!! Moss covers everything as many trees start towering the audience!

Her friends stare in awe, as plants not indigenous to Arabia, start growing around them! Moss covers the stands, bushes and trees covered in berries, nuts and fruits surround the stands, vegetables, ferns, flowers, legumes and many other botanical life surround the entire area!!!

Everyone stares in surprise as a Agroforest now surrounds the area, that was once hot and arid...

The narrator then says "'iinha' The judge will now determine the winner!", a Djinn floats over the trees... he holds his hand towards the treetops... "Neki Karim, is the winner.". Everyone gasps, as Mikayla shouted "What in Allah's holy name?! How is she the winner!!!?".

 The genie says "I sense the Fata's DNA and power, flowing through the forest...", everyone cheers as the narrator says: "Neki is the winner! Please come to the Kaaba, for prayer and testing.". Later, Neki came to meet her friends in the Mecca. "Hey, "Flower Girl"! How's it feel to be the: future of Arabia!?" Erri laughs, Neki sighed "Stop calling me, "Flower Girl"! I am not even a plant!". Ciel then asked "What happened after you left the Kaaba? Were your parents happy?", Neki replies "Yes, they were very pleased with me! And surprised, that I am not a Herbalist, like the scientist thought. I am actually a: Almujus, or a Magi! I supposedly run algorithms in my subconscious, and "show" plant life how to grow and thrive, no matter where it is!". Ciel and Ami look excited "Awesome!!!", "You're... a "wise man", then?", Neck replied "Yes... more like a natural magician... Ah, if you will excuse me: I have to thank Allah...". Her friends wave bye to her, as she leaves outside... "I am happy that I won this, now I can spend time with them and I do not seem like a jerk to them...", she suddenly sees a shadow over her!!!? "You are the winner of the contest, correct?".

"Yes... and who are you?" she asks, dying the genie... He answers "'Alf l, I have came to see the winner of the contest... and... Was curious of her life choices, as she is indeed a representative of our kingdom now.". Neki replies "I was going to give thanks to Allah, once more... if you want... we could both go.", 'Alf I glared "I can not join you, you know it is against our law to both enter the Kaaba, but you live in america... I guess you do not know our law, I can even tell by your shameless clothing...". Neki walks up to him "It is not so bad, if acrepresentative asks you only to pray, correct? While I am not customer to the laws of our kingdom, I can not see it being wrong, to pray together, in spite of a technicality...", he sighs "Correct... only to pray, will I go in with you... if it been for any forbidden reason, or you were any one else... I would not go...". Neki walks with him into the Kaaba, "Yes... Anyone else, this would be so wrong..." she giggles, after "catching" her new boyfriend!
