In reply to: Ravin 's message, "Joining Saras" on 19:02:12 01/22/02 Tue

Sarosh looked up at Ravin, wiping his tears away with the small piece of cloth, wondering how much of what he was saying was the truth. He couldn’t surly be OK with what had happened… but he was acting like it. Saras felt flattered by that little bit of kindness and managed a weak smile before looking down at his hands holding the handkerchief. His little smile didn’t last long however. “I’m sorry about the wish… no. I’m sorry about your bad luck in finding me as a Genie…” he said. “It’s what I wanted to tell you before. “ Saras began. “It’s part of the reason I was stuck in an ugly Flask… I can’t grant wishes the way I’m supposed to.”


Saras lifted his eyes again to see Ravin’s reaction and then lowered them, somewhat ashamed of himself, but feeling the need to continue. “I don’t have much in the way of Genie powers anymore. Today… I don’t know what happened with the fire. I shouldn’t have been able to do that, and I can’t explain why I was. I’ve been without magic my last two masters, and have had to grant their wishes without it.” he explained, tears brimming in his eyes. “I didn’t know that this time it would hurt, and that it would be twisted and weird…”


Saras turned to Ravin taking hold of the thief’s sleeve. And looking up at him through the multicoloured hair, “I don’t know what will happen to you next time…I don’t know what strangeness or side-effects will happen the next time you make a wish!”


Sitting back down and looking out at the people now in the pond, he sighed. “I’m a Bad, useless Genie…I’m supposed to make people happy with my wishes….but all I do is cause trouble.” he said. “And when I’m done messing up your life, and the lives of your friends, I’ll disappear and start it all over again with someone else who doesn’t deserve it.” he said dejectedly.
