"It is I my lady, I have come in sight to accord my deepest gratitude for having to discover my existence. I shall await your acceptance as per my corporality. Farewell, master."

Panting as hard, Aria rose from bed having to realize her body in sweaty state. Glancing at her bedside sphere clock, she closed her eyes as she had yet again woken from sleep just before dawn, midnight. More or less, 3 days had already passed after coming back from their trip in Baguio and Sagada but seemingly, Aria have gotten so conscious of what had happen in the cave which had led her to vision iterate figure in her dreams. She haven't told anyone yet about what she had witnessed as she was well aware she'd look weird amongst people and Chester wasn't an exemption.

Chester, on the other hand, though he had notice a sudden bit change from Aria, his curiosity remained within him as he had never tried to ask anything regarding the sudden change of the lady.

Unable to get back from sleep, Aria turned for the door and got herself out of their house. Silence covered the whole atmosphere as cold breeze began to spread from where the lady sat. Unaware of what was happening, Aria didn't care less as all she knew was it was just a natural midnight breeze lingering from the wholeness of the atmosphere. As soon as she leaned her hand to her back, a noise of something as though it has been nudge had made her turn to her back and for an instance, her eyes began to widen as her lips parted having her looks from before yet again. In her mind she silently asked as the golden kettle yet again appeared from Aria's sight.

"Greetings, my lady."

Restraining herself to bawl, she again turned having to visualize the familiar figure of a man standing right in front of her with the usual cold-glowing vibe. Just when she was about to run back inside the house, the man yet again spoke, making Aria unknowingly stop from her track,

"Do not be afraid, I aim only your acknowledgement of me, my lady."

Words were filled with sincerity thus the voice states the opposite. Cold, without any emotions was all Aria had heard as she slowly, though the fear in her, turning to face the mysterious figure, she was yet again taken aback of its presence.

"W-who...W-what are y-you?" Though the obvious fear, Aria managed to utter a silent, almost a whisper question as the man stood unmoved looking straight at her which had made her eyes reflect nothing but fear.

"A genie. I am called genie."

"G-genie?"

confusedly, Aria asked as the said 'genie' just jounce his head making her flinch as though every little move the 'genie' does makes her flinch, afraid that she might end in an unfortunate situation.

"I shall grant you three wishes in exchange of having to discover my cage and with all your wishes granted, as per the given rule of our nature, I shall return from where I was caged and wait for another master to obey."

Lips still parted, Aria shook her head unable to sink everything in her little messy mind as her knees began to tremble making her whole body directly, her whole brain gone blank.

"I shall take my leave, my lady, I await your summon."
