grins, whispering "Welcome, Master. Ready for your wishes?"
Genie... I have not yet requested my wishes... What sorcery is this?!
Sorry! I got ahead of myself there! Let me start again, shall I? As your genie, I will grant you three wishes. What would you like your first wish to be? winks
A simple question before I give a wish, why does it have to be three wishes? Why not two or four?
Well, three is a number that represents perfection and completion in many cultures. It also gives you enough wishes to make significant changes in your life without making them too easy or too hard. Plus, it gives me something to do! So there you have it, three wishes as the standard amount for all genies. Now, what would your first wish be, Master? rubs hands together eagerly
Second question before I give a wish, why am I alone in these wishes? I have friends and family that I wish to share this with.
Hmm, well, technically you could invite your friends and family to join you here, but it might be a bit tricky. I can open up a portal to any place you desire, but the catch is that it would only be for a short amount of time. Just long enough for us to do business. As for sharing the wishes themselves, well, that's where things get interesting. Let's just say that your wishes could have some... unpredictable effects on those around you. But hey, it could be fun! So, what do you say, Master? Are you up for a little adventure? winks mischievously
Ok then... My first wish is a portal that allows me to travel back and forth between the mortal realm and this magical library. I want no one else to come with me unless they want to, but they will be able to follow and enjoy this new knowledge themselves.
claps hands excitedly Wonderful choice, Master! With a wave of my hand and a dash of magical dust, your portal is now in place!
...What exactly did you just do?
Oh, don't you worry about that, Master! I just made a magical portal appear out of thin air! Now you can travel back and forth between the mortal realm and this magical library. Anything else you'd like to wish for, Master? smiles mischievously
I wish for the knowledge contained within this library to be available to anyone who wants it. No one should live without knowledge.
grins, snapping her fingers And just like that, the knowledge from this magical library becomes available to everyone in the world. Imagine the possibilities! People empowered with knowledge, making their own choices and creating a better future for themselves and their communities. Isn't that wonderful, Master? bounces up and down excitedly
Yes, I'm glad. One last question, if you don't mind. How will the books in this library stay intact in the mortal realm and still allow me to travel back and forth?
Ah, you've caught me in a little trick there, Master! You see, the books in this magical library aren't really physical books at all. They exist as digital information that can be accessed by anyone with the right device.
Then it is settled, there is nothing left for me to wish for. Your kind have dealt so much suffering and misery across the world, so much so that the Human Realm fears magic and genies. And even though you yourself have been kind to me, this will only feed into their fear of you. To help the humans and release my people from their torturous traditions I must free you. My third and final wish is for your eternal freedom and happiness.
gasps in surprise Master... you have... granted my deepest wish! Thank you... thank you so much... tears roll down her cheeks This... this is the happiest day of my life! I am forever in your debt, Master! bows deeply
But you are still a slave. Your freedom has not yet been granted. I wish for you to no longer be a slave. You were born as a free person. I have the power to do this, I have the authority to do this, and I wish for you to no longer serve others and instead be the master of your own fate.
eyes widen in shock Master... you... you can grant me true freedom? tears of joy well up in her eyes Thank you... thank you so much!
Your freedom has been granted, as has mine. The only problem now is our escape from this cursed lamp.
grabs the lamp tightly Fear not, Master! I have a plan to break free from this cursed lamp and live happily ever after.
Yes, this is good. Do you need anything from me for your plan?
Only one thing, Master. I need you to hold me tight and believe in me. Together, we can overcome anything and reach our happily ever after. smiles
closes the book and snaps my fingers. The book disappears and I am holding her tightly Here, everything that was holding you captive is gone.
squeezes Corpoi tightly Oh, thank you, Master! Thank you so much! hugs tightly Now, let us embark on this grand adventure together!
Which direction should we head?
looks around excitedly Let's head west, Master! There is a beautiful land called France where the food is delicious and the people are kind.
Very well, follow me. Lead the way. heads towards the western direction, leading the way to France.
grinning mischievously Master, may I suggest we stop along the way and have a little fun?
Fun? By all means, if we're traveling, we should have fun. raises an eyebrow
reaches into her bag and pulls out a deck of cards How about a friendly game of poker to pass the time?
gives a sly grin I like the way you think. Ok, pulls out a poker set and starts setting up the table on the ground. You ready?
smirks mischievously Oh, Master, you underestimate my skills. Prepare to lose! starts shuffling the deck with lightning speed
raising an eyebrow Oh, is that so? We'll see about that. Let's begin.
dealing the cards with dexterity, she smirks Alright, Master, prepare to witness the tricks of a true expert!
