The Genie's Curse 8 No Choice

The man kept placing more and more lamps in the bag and Tsuru started thinking there would be no end to it. Maybe he even caused her to end up in this situation. Hours pa.s.sed as she finally felt like the man had stopped moving. She looked out and noticed she was in a store, shelves were packed with items but the ones that stood out the most were the lamps. Looking around it she saw dozens of lamps. They were all different from one another not one like the last. Some had jewels, others had some designs, different colors, or some had odd forms.

The man started to rub each lamp causing the genies to appear frightened and confused.

"Where are we." One of the genies managed to ask while he cowered in a corner.

The man didn't answer as he waited for all the genies to be out before answering not wanting to repeat himself. As he had managed to get all the genies out the room became crowded as the man cleared his throat to get their attention.

"As you all already know you've become genies. But there are a few things you don't know that I will explain." The man announced.

"Who...Who are you?" Tsuru managed to ask.

"I'm the one who cursed the lamps, so they could trap you. I was once a genie myself, but my time is coming to an end and I was in charge of getting the next generation of genies." The man explained as the genies grew worried about his words.

"But I don't want to be a genie." A female genie called out.

"Fate has already been decided for you," The man stated, "Now all of you were shown a number as you became a genie. Your number varies depending on how your life was like. After that time ends you will cease to exist."

"That's not fair. We don't want to spend the rest of our lives like this!" Another genie exclaimed.

The crowd of genies started bickering and the man spoke again to silence them, "Listen! I understand that it isn't fair, but you can all have another mortal life and even more than one if you please. All you have to do is kill your master."

"It can't be that easy." A genie with black smoke stated as he eyed the man.

The man chuckled at the genie's words, "You're right. There's a set of rules to follow: You may not kill or attack your master while they posses your lamp, you may attack them if they don't have it but if they notice the attack it will fail... Break any of these rules and you'll have to either extend your time as a genie or grant more wishes."

"What about our families?" Tsuru asked worried about her brother in specific.

"It's better to forget about them." The man said before he opened the door, "Get to know your fellow genies while you can. Tomorrow you shall all get masters."

Flashback end

Tsuru waited for Allon as she thought back on those days when she had become a genie. How sweet she was to even pick to grant an infinite amount of wishes because she thought it would bring people joy. But she had placed everyone's happiness over her own and that was a terrible mistake she would never forget.

Allon walked into the room as his eyes where puffy from crying, "Do you take pride from this?"

"No. I just want freedom and justice for myself." She announced as she stared at him.

Allon slowly walked towards Evira as he then took the lamp from her hands. He turned facing Tsuru and handing her the lamp. Tsuru took it off his hands as she couldn't believe she finally had the chance to kill her master.

Tsuru snapped her fingers summoning a bottle of poison and floating towards Evira. She opened the bottle as she grabbed Evira's chin carefully to make her drink it.
