Disclaimer: : It's at the beginning of most every other fic. And now it's here! Dragon Knights is property of people other than me. I'm sure it's not you, the reader, and I'm positive it's not any of my pets or your goldfish/whatever animal you may possess. It's property of Mineko Ohkami and her wonderful, wonderful mind. So no sue! Got it!
A/N: Redone 6/8/03 to accommodate new idea. Can't say what idea, coz' that'll spoil future chapters. I really didn't change up that much though.
Be Careful What You Wish For
Light In A Lamp
Twist. Twist. Freedom at last! As the light bulb rolled away, a little thing crawled out from the lamp top. The tiny creature flexed it's hundreds upon hundreds of years old muscles. The creature continued stretching them until at last it felt a tug that would allow it to stretch no further. Blinking, the mini being scanned itself over in search of the object denying it its freedom. At last the creature's amber eyes fell upon the silver clasps wrapped around its wrists and ankles, all attached to thin silver chains leading up to its wings at the back. That was when the memory struck it like Thatz's fork through his food.
*~*~*~* Flashback*~*~*~*
"You are a genie now!" A large dark figure loomed over the little creature, his figure barely discernable from the darkness surrounding them.
"But-" It could hear its own voice being interrupted.
"No exceptions! You are my creation and as such must do as I say!"
"But-" Apparently the chibi being had little say in the question over his being a genie or not.
"You may grant up to seven wishes at any one time. But absolutely NO bringing back people from the dead. I tried that once and oh, the mess it made."
The little thing started to nod, but then turned the nod to a shake as it slipped into confusion. "I thought genies only granted three wishes?"
"Hmm.. They do. But, you're not a genie!"
"But you just said I was!"
"Hmm... So I did. Ignore that. You, my little friend, are a Light Genie!"
"I thought I was a-"
"You are..." The ominous dark figure paused to think, "Were..."
"Well, then how come I can't grant 13 wishes or something!"
"It's an unlucky number!"
"Exactly!" A glint of devilish joy gleamed in the creature's amber orbs.
"Besides, 7 is my favorite number." The dark figure pouted. "Now, anyway, I believe I've wasted enough time with you! There are other creations to be tended to." The dark figure stuffed the little creature into a lamp and tightly screwed on the light bulb.
*~*~*~*End of Flashback*~*~*~*
"Oh yeah..." The little "him" creature smirked. The dark figure had never said which seven wishes he had to grant. With the push of a tiny button on the bottom of the lamp, the genie apartment shrunk down to pocket size for the little boy thing. Or, in human terms, it shrunk down to a size smaller than one's pinky nail. Slipping the chibi lamp into his chibi pocket, the little genie-boy-thing took off flying. "It's wish time!"
A/N: Okies, so this chapter was uh... rather short, but the next chapter will prolly end up being uber long so I felt like giving this little section its own chibi chapter! Oh! And if you figure out the origins of the little genie don't say so until it comes about in the fic. I don't want it to be ruined for somebody.
