Her physical undercurrents flowed of unattractiveness. Her emotional
winds raged with sadness, separation, self-reconciliation and
determination. Her mental flows darted and crackled with creativity.

She wore the ring that contained my essence.

Seegan stared at me. Her eyes had the typical glaze of awe but lacked
the typical glimmer of San.

I told my Purpose. I was a servant of limited power who would grant
three wishes. The first wish was to be stated within one minute of my
explanation. The second was to be stated on the day one year from the
first, in the same physical location as the first. The third, ten
years on the day and in the same location.

The brass ring had the word "Canloc" inscribed. It had been my
container for many summoners. I would return to it after granting
wishes. It protected me from complete loss of Purpose.

then put it away. She told me, "I've thought about it, and I wish to
be beautiful."

channeling, I was forced to attach a poison that would form on the
coins when in direct contact with sunlight. The summoner took his
treasure with him, but he did not return for this third wish. How my

*An implosion of Purpose*

*An implosion of Satisfaction.*

Such was my first experience of joy. Until that point in time, every
summoner returning for another wish had increased San. Through the
happiness of Seegan, I felt more Purpose than I had ever known.

"Great Djinni," my summoner said with much passion. "I can't thank
you enough--not only for making me beautiful, but for giving me the
extra gift of being able to turn into a fox. I escaped these vaults
because in fox form I was able to slip between the bars and dash
quickly to the nearest village.

It was at that village I met my husband. I owe you that thanks as
well. I know I didn't need to explain, but I wanted to express my
happiness.

Do you have any further instructions for my second wish? I will await
your word before wishing."
human
You talk to Seegan

I told her that, in addition to the previous rules, I could not undo
any direct effects of previous wishes.

(I wondered then whether I should have told her about my new Purpose.
Thanking her seemed "correct" somehow and yet not "appropriate"
because it would likely have interfered with many undercurrents.)

"I've known my second wish since I knew I was pregnant. I wish my
baby a long, healthy, happy, prosperous life."

My recent exponential increase in Purpose evoked in me an awareness.
The attractor winds that gave me control of the undercurrents were

was eliminated by these curses.

Why had Seegan been Satisfied? I knew only one possibility. She was

span, were incompatible. The were-fox undercurrent needed redirection
at that point in time or be integrated fully soon after.
[I pondered. And for the first time, I could grant at least some of
the wish without an associated "curse".]

Her baby had strong undercurrents of happiness. I would not need to
do anything to grant that portion of the wish. However, prosperity
was another matter. I could have channeled the undercurrents to make
that happen, but not without cost. I realized that I greatly risked
Satisfaction if I attached a curse. Perhaps there was treasure still
remaining somewhere around the vaults that could assure prosperity.

No girl alive is as fair as you"

Sela occupied the majority of the room. To her right was the foot of

Labiiq looked out at me, calmly. "I know you rarely honor requests,
but I think you'll feel differently when you hear mine. First a
little background...

Research from my dig has revealed the location of others of your kind.
According to my scrolls, three powerful servants are to wait in a
"Room of Choices" for a little boy. It will be this boy who chooses
the fate of the people.

Now I won't confirm or deny the validity of this prophecy, but the
time for this event is unspecified. Even if three of you are supposed
to be there, there is no mention of when this is to occur. Other
scrolls on this matter claim there are different types of "servants."
Some can grant wishes, some exist to wreak havoc, and so on.

I believe this "Room of Choices" is far below my excavation site. I
believe there is a chance a wish-granting servant is there. I don't
believe my men will ever be able to dig below these shifting sands
enough to reach there.

By explaining all of this, I'm giving you an opportunity to build your
power and to be one of the choices. To build your power in the short
term, my studies indicate following your nature. To build your power
permanently, you need to become the chosen one. If you're so chosen,
my studies indicate you will have your permanent freedom and even
dominion in the world to come.

But first you must get me the wish granter's container."

summoner returning for another wish had increased San. Through the
happiness of Seegan, I felt more Purpose than I had ever known.

"Great Djinni," my summoner said with much passion. "I can't thank
you enough--not only for making me beautiful, but for giving me the
extra gift of being able to turn into a fox. I escaped these vaults
because in fox form I was able to slip between the bars and dash
quickly to the nearest village.

It was at that village I met my husband. I owe you that thanks as
well. I know I didn't need to explain, but I wanted to express my
happiness.

Do you have any further instructions for my second wish? I will await
your word before wishing."
