Granted.

... eternity, but I am trapped wherever that metal is for as long as that metal exists, which seems like about half an eternity so far." He reached his hand more or less through the glass of dark ale in front of him. The area around the glass shimmered slightly and more of the rich, dark brew disappeared. "On the other hand, he said with a shrug. "Since I was far away from my home and was bound to a lump of metal, I wasn't there when the great plague wiped out my race." "I thought Genies were all powerful." "There is always something bigger and more powerful out there that can get you. Or, in our case, something smaller. I don't know if it was a disease or a curse that got out of hand, but one day the Jinns started... evaporating. Like a morning mist clearing off in the morning sun, even the most powerful of the Jinns slowly faded away... except for the few of us who were in exile bound to lumps of metal. Its kind of ironic that our punishment protected us." "So, are you the last of your kind?" I asked. "Not exactly the last, but there aren't many of us left." "And you can grant three wishes?" Julan shimmered himself another large gulp of ale and shrugged. "Yes and no. This wish thing is a little more complicated than that. If someone makes a wish in my presence, I can grant it or reject it. There is no limit on the number of wishes. But the person making the wish can't actually ask me for something and whatever the wish is has to come from that person. Someone else, especially ...

... me, can't put them up to it." "So if I wish for something now you can't grant it?" "Nope. Sounds stupid, but I didn't make the rules of the cosmos." "And you can't ask someone to wish that you were free?" "Nope. The rules don't allow for it." He drained the glass and then looked me in the eyes, "Kinda sucks, doesn't it?" I sipped my ale and sighed. "And I thought I had a really bad day at work. At least it was only one day. I wish there were a way to get you unbound or whatever so that you could be free." "WISH GRANTED!!!!" he yelled, bouncing up and down in his seat as he repeated again, "WISH DEFINITELY GRANTED!!!!" I looked around to see the reaction of the rest of the people in the bar, but then realized that I was the only one who could see or hear him. His smile nearly split his face in two. "You said the magic words. I didn't ask you to, and you didn't intend it to be a wish you asked of me. Your wish is granted. Because you wished it, there IS a way to free me... if you are willing." "What would I have to do?" I asked. Julan coughed lightly and pointed at his empty glass. "I'd order a round if I could, but you are the only one who can see me." "I wish I had an unlimited tab," I said hopefully. "Nope. That one doesn't fit the rules. Can't grant it. Sorry." "It was worth a try," I replied and then yelled over to the bar, "Two more, please." When Walt brought them over he said with a smile, "I see you have met Jack's friend, whoever or whatever he is. The previous owner ...
