The Seven Earthly Kings

SCP-XXXX-2' original form according to Islamic cosmology

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept in a 1×1 meter steel container. Testing on SCP-XXXX requires the written permission of 3 Level 4 personnel.

Description: SCP-XXXX, also known as The Seven Earthly Kings, is a one-piece brass 10th-century Andalusian hookah with a 7×5 mm black opal embedded in the stem of the hookah. The opal has the property of changing colors and does so in a predictable pattern on corresponding days:

• White on Mondays
• Red on Tuesdays
• Blue on Wednesdays
• Purple on Thursdays
• Yellow on Fridays
• Green on Saturdays
• Gold on Sundays

SCP-XXXX has an Arabic engraving on its base spelling ملوك الأرضية(Mulūk al-Arḍīya), which translates to “Earthly Kings”. It was uncovered in Granada, Spain in August of 1956 during an expedition in the Sacromonte catacombs and made it to foundation possession a month later.

The initial anomalous property of SCP-XXXX is its ability to make anyone within visual contact of it experience a very strong urge to use it. SCP-XXXX does not require a source of heat or tobacco to work as intended.

Subjects who smoke from SCP-XXXX report tasting a flavor of cloves and nutmeg. Shortly after, subjects go into a coughing fit but would be unable to let go of SCP-XXXX, continually smoking. A few minutes into smoking, subjects will experience an epileptic seizure that lasts anywhere from 15-45 seconds, and following that, the subject will lose consciousness for a few minutes. Once they are awake, the subject is allegedly “possessed” by a jinn. Testing with D-class personnel determined that there is 7 jinn in total that can possess a human, all corresponding with the color of the opal on the corresponding day of the week. Possessions can last anywhere from 7 seconds to 7 hours before subjects return to their former self, which occurs after a second violent epileptic seizure.

How the possessions work is still currently unknown but it’s theorized that the jinns already exist within our universe and the hookah is a vessel that brings them forth. Medieval Arabic scholars from 600 AD theorized that jinn were masters of magic and served as lords of planets within our solar system, including the sun and the moon. The jinns have been given the designations SCP-XXXX-1 to SCP-XXXX-7

Instance	Name	Domain	Description
SCP-XXXX-1	Al-Abyad (الابيض; The White One)	The Moon	Instances where “Al-Abyad” manifests are able to shapeshift at will. SCP-XXXX-1 instances will use deception in order to escape confinement and have proven to be effective manipulators, escaping 100% of the time. Although it poses no immediate danger to personnel or the subject it possesses, its persuasive powers are not to be trifled with.
SCP-XXXX-2	Al-Ahmar (الاحمر; The Red One)	Mars	Possibly the most dangerous of all SCP-XXXX instances. Subjects possessed by Al-Ahmar go into a blind rage and attack everyone in sight. Subjects exhibit superhuman strength, being able to break through concrete walls of holding cells. SCP-XXXX-2 instances will seek to kill as many people as they can. Subjects will then cover themselves in the blood of their victims in some unexplained ritualistic action. Once that's accomplished, it will seek to rearrange the bodies and limbs of its victims into a certain order, theorized to be Al-Ahmar's seal. Subject has been terminated before completing the "seal" so not much is known into what the effects would be if successful. All survivors of SCP-XXXX-2 attacks reported losing their vision, with some being temporary or permanent, depending on the severity of the damage done to them. If containment is successful and the instance is unable to find targets to attack, it will then seek self-mutilation on the subject it possesses until it results in the death of the subject.
SCP-XXXX-3	Barqan (بورقان; Two Thunders)	Mercury	SCP-XXXX-3 shows an interest in humans and enjoys spending time with personnel to exchange information. His anomalous property is the ability to manifest a brass spear inscribed with Arabic incantations from thin air that produces an electric current that can reach 300 million volts, similar to lightning. The lightning does not seem to have an adverse effect on the possessed subject.
SCP-XXXX-4	Shamhurish (شمهورش)	Jupiter	This possession is very short-lived so not much is known about it, with the longest possession being 1 minute and 47 seconds. During that time, however, it was determined that SCP-XXXX-4 has a great affinity for humans and shows a willingness to help in any way it can. It claimed to possess healing properties, but no tests were concluded to confirm that claim.
SCP-XXXX-5	Zawba'ah (زوبعة; Cyclone)	Venus	Subjects possessed by SCP-XXXX-5 can only be described as being heavily intoxicated. Subjects exhibit slurred speech and imbalance. Their behavior is erratic and trance-like. SCP-####-5 possessions can “create wind”. Even in enclosed spaces with no airflow, SCP-XXXX-5 can create winds that reach speeds of 95 mph with the sways of its body.
SCP-XXXX-6	Maymun (ميمون; Prosperous)	Saturn	SCP-XXXX-6 possessions instantly grow wings from their backs and display the ability to fly. SCP-XXXX-6 displays obvious hate for humanity. Personnel in its presence experience paralyzing anxiety and will do whatever they can to get away from the possessed subject. After the possession ends, subjects will suffer from endless nightmares. Most D-Class personnel used for testing committed suicide due to the lack of sleep and constant fear caused by the nightmares
SCP-XXXX-7	Al-Madhab (المذهب; The Golden One)	The Sun	Instances where “Al-Madhab” manifests exhibit a significant increase in intelligence and wisdom. Al-Madhab possessions show no affinity or hate to humans and can be described as calloused towards humans. SCP-XXXX-7 claims to be the father of alchemy and has proven that by transmuting gold in the traditional sense from lead, but has gone an extra step and transmuted solar rays into gold flakes.
