Chapter 2: My Wish Came True, or Was it a Dream

I woke up the next morning to the light and warmth of Sol warming me, and the beauty beside me. I don't remember returning to my bed, but what does it matter. I was feeling well, rested, and ready for this new day.

Stretching and working the kinks out, I looked over at Nekita, who was wide awake and garbed in a new, though similar, outfit to the one she wore when she had appeared last night. Smiling at her, I moved into a tailor's seat and began asking her more questions. There was so much I wanted to know about what I had bumbled into. We went back and forth for what seemed to be a long time. At some point Mari came and joined us and had her own questions. Mari sees things from a different enough point of view that she often things of things I miss, and vice a versa.

We learned that Nekita's granting of my daily wishes were limited, but mostly in such a way as to not allow me to become a deity, or to gain such powers as the Djinn. I could refine my wish, to ensure it is what I intend, past what basic intentions she could read from my mind. No, she could not read my mind, only my wishes intentions. I'll give an example, once this accounting is done. The daily wish was for things outside of hearth and home. Simple wishes to improve my home, provide sustenance, protect us from harm (of any kind) were limitless. She could not make me rich, directly. So, no wishing for lots of money, or precious metals to be dropped into my possession. I also learned she could, to a limited extent, twist reality slightly by opening small doorways into a nearby alternate dimension to give a closet the space of a mansion, if I so wished. Best part of that was it wouldn't count as a Wish. It didn't have to be a closet. It could be a room. Let me tell you, we ended up with our basement fully redone, waterproofed, and with a huge luxurious, hedonistic bath and Jacuzzi.
