Astra realized the girl was trying to stall for time and, more importantly, delay Astra in carrying out her Master's wish. Whatever she may have believed before, as a djinn Astra's priority was carrying out that wish as quickly as possible.
So she interrupted Maria, saying "I'll just take you still" and, before the girl could object again, worked her magic.
Golden smoke enveloped Maria before rapidly clearing. Maria now wore a harem outfit like Astra's, with the addition of a small, twisted armband in place between her right elbow and shoulder. In her navel rested a diamond rather than a ruby.
Maria exclaimed "Oh my" but nothing else as a jeweled brass lamp appeared and she was sucked into it. Astra picked up the lamp and returned to her Master.
Fred was eager to view his new djinn and excitedly rubbed the lamp once Astra handed it to him.
Maria the djinn appeared in a puff of golden smoke. Like Astra had initially been, Maria did not seem too happy, but when asked to identify herself said "I am Maria the djinn, bound to the lamp and through it to you, my Master."
