 Oota: ~Trots on her way to the beach to attempt sea swimming again, looking very determined.~

Genie: *sees the young lady* Ho there! Something you need pretty one?
Oota: Just to get to the sea, I'm going to swim in it today I swear even if I.... ~Turns to look at the speaker and stops in her tracks and blinks. Looking him up and down.~ Uh... Shouldn't you be in water... or uh... on the ground NEAR some water?
Genie: *tilts his head at her* Not necessarily no. I enjoy a good dip as much as the next star but I am not bound to it. I am bound to this thing. *picks up his lamp wondering if she's going to figure it out or if he's going to have to explain*
Oota: ~Shifts her gaze to the metal object and tilts her head back.~ Does it have meaning to you? Like did your mother give it to you? ~Completely oblivious~ How do you stay hydrated?
Genie: It is part of me and I am part of it, it binds me as what I am. I think perhaps you think I am novea and you are only partially right. *shrinks into his bottle and disappears as it thuds softly to the ground*
Oota: ~Walks around the lamp looking all around~ Hey! How did you do that? Are you invisible or something? Ooooh is this Magic? Are you in your lamp and it's full of water and thats how you can be on land?....Hello?
Genie: *now finding this amusing and laughing within his bottle* Nope, there's a couple pillows in there though, it looks like a cushy bedroom. *he says as he comes back out the the bottle, not all the way but at least up to her knee so his bottom half is still in the bottle* I don't really need water. I'm completely made of smoke and magic...or at least that's what we think we're made of. Have you heard legends about those who grant wishes?
Ooota: Whaaaa ~Mind blown~ Magic? I've never seen anything quite like uh well you! I can't say I have really... I'm not all that social with story tellers, so wishes... like wishes people make on like a shooting stars?
Genie: *comes all the way out of the bottle* There aren't very many like me. I can think of only three others off the top of my head. *chuckling* Shooting stars do not do instant grantification but yes. Djinn or genie. My name is, in fact Genie. What do you wish for miss curious star?
Oota: Wow... So you really are special huh? I kinda thought water horses uhm, Nova's, where unique but your really something... ~Has mixed feelings but is confused as to why she doesn't feel her heart thudding and the butterflies in her stomach she did with 'her' water horse~ Me? I want to swim in the sea! But the current has been too strong for me... I keep loosing balance. ~Frowns~
Genie: *smiles at her* Nova are special. They get to see all the wonders of the deep that we can only imagine. Think of me as a genie and not so much a nova. I am magic first and always. *picks up his bottle to float around her and inspect her* Hmm. I can give you several hours as a nova but you better not waist it because I can't do it again for a while. And you have to wish for it. That's how my magic works.
Oota: I'll try... but it really is rather odd you looking like a water horse but not being one ~Grins at the genie then ponders the offer~ That sounds fantastic! It would be wonderful to see beneath the depths, I mean reaaaaallly under but what about after? Then I'd know... and never be able to peek again... and I still wouldn't be able to swim in the sea!
Genie: I simply cannot do it everyday dear. My magic is different and weaker on this plane. I fear I must strengthen it by granting wishes. This is your boon, you can help me by allowing me to use my magic. Maybe, when my magic fully returns to me, I might be able to make it permanent. Maybe. At the very least you could come to me whenever you wished to swim.

Oota: I get it, couldn't I wish for something that would stick with me though? Some way I could swim in the sea even without coming back to you? Hmmm Like making my legs stronger! Or... better balance or something?
Genie: *hangs his head* I'm not powerful enough to make anything permanent sweetheart. I wish I was but I'm not. Not yet.
Oota: Oh. ~Looks at the ground and kicks at a few blades of grass~ If I wished to breath under water or be a Nova... would you come with me?
Genie: Of course! *smiling* I like to experience the results of my wishes.
Oota: Ok! And you won't let me drown if it wears off and I'm reaaaaallly underwater? Your not a mean genie or anything? Oh! You could tell me if your magic was wearing off... wait can we talk down there? ~Quirks her brow, having never considered such a thing before hand.~
Genie: *grinning* I won't let you die, no. There would be no point in killing you. And I don't like death anyway. *shivers* It's messy. *listening as she thinks too much* I can talk just fine but I'm magic. I assume Nova talk underwater. *shrugs*
Oota: Promise? ~Looks at the magic not Nova expectedly~
Genie: *nodding* Of course. Travel will be easier if I go inside the lamp and you pick it up and carry me where ever we need to go. It's not heavy. Just don't forget me somewhere.
Oota: Can't you be out and swim with me? I bet you know all the names for the plants and stuff down there, I've always wanted to know, other than kelp, I know kelp. ~Giggles~
Genie: I have the ability to come out wherever you need me to. I just can't carry my own lamp very far. To me it's heavy. I don't know why. Something to do with the magic bind probably.
Oota: Hmm.. ~Thinks for a moment~ Ok! Shouldn't we go to the sea then... be a bit... awkward becoming a Nova here. ~Chuckles~
Genie: *reminds himself to suggest she wish for a few more smarts* Oh course darling. Shall we? *shrinks into his lamp*
Oota: ~Nods vigorously and scoops up his lamp with a wing, fiddling with her necklace and attaching the hoop onto the thread. Once securely attached she trots the short distance to the sea then looks down at the lamp wondering what she's supposed to do now~ Hmm... 'scuse me Mr.Genie, we're here....
Genie: *rises out of the bottle and sits on her back with his 'tail semi wrapped on her neck, he's not heavy at all* Alright. You're going to want to go into the water dear.
Oota: Right! Of course ~Looks at the water, getting a wash of nervousness~ It's just the sea ~Speaks to herself and starts trotting in slowly and watching her balance, it takes a while but she gets in half way up her leg.~

Genie: *smiling and serene and happy with the fact he's going to help someone* Alright Oota, ready? You have to wish for my magic. All you have to say is 'Genie, I wish to be a Nova." The spell will last 3 hours. In that time you should be able to see and do quite a bit. I will keep the timer in my head so don't worry. Let's go!
Whereas she had been patient and slow before the currents beat at her leg threatening to throw her off balance, now she was in a hurry. "Yes please, oh right, Genie" She shouted his name, making sure he could hear, she didn't want to risk having to say it twice. "I wish to be a Nova!"
He shook his head with an amused grin on his face. Dorky star thought this was some sort of ritual. He was laughing when he answered her. "Don't have to shout dear. I'm right here. Right! Now, thank you for the magic words." It was an irritating thing for him, the fact that his magic only worked on a wish. He could do an amazing number of small tricks that were only focused on him but he could not use it on another without consent. Focusing he brought the magic forth and let it flow drown his legs and into his hooves. He set them firmly on her back set the change. He could make the change immediate but he didn't want to scare her so he slowed it down and made it pleasant and painless. A part of him wanted to make her believe he could do it and show her the wonder of his magic. He was one of very significant few and her liked to show it off.
One moment she's concentrating on the water pushing against her legs, willing the current to spare her balance with each pelt. The next a kind of cold tingling sensation started from the point of his hoofs down her entire being before her weight shifted heavy to the back of her, blinking she looked back and went to move a hoof and instead flicked a tail. It didn't take long for a big ol' grin to appear on her face forgetting about her pesky wings that still clung to her back she started pushing her way forward. The tail was a strange adjustment but it was build for the water and she was glad the genie had suggested going in as deep as she dared. Now she just had to drag her body once, twice SPLASH, the rest of her was in and even her wings were under the water, she even held her breath out of instinct.
He sighed when the magic was done and rolled his shoulders to loosen them. "You can breath dear." He reminded her as he shrank to a far smaller size (about a foot tall) but continued to sit on her shoulders. "I'm sorry about the wings. Taking them from you seemed rude." Happily she settled in on her shoulders and took a gentle hold on the back of her necklace. He was probably going to enjoy this just as much as she's. A free ride underwater?
At his reminder she didn't think before speaking "Can I?" Then she found a front hoof coming to her mouth as she felt bubbles escape and travels up tickling her nose. She could indeed breath and even speak and the entire thing was so overwhelming she just wanted to dance! Instead she flicked her tail, testing it's power, using it to swim in a bit further in and do wide berthed circles. Letting out a laugh in glee she carried on for a few more times before pushing with all her might and travelling forward and just spinning here and here enjoying the freedom in the liquid. No worries about running out of breath and her wings? Stopping she twitched her wings, they didn't feel heavy where they different? Reaching up she touched them and felt an almost oily slickness on them. "They've changed! There not heavy, they feel... great, I feel great!" Then she was off again speeding all around.

And then they were off and he was laughing. He truly loved bringing the joy his gift allowed him to others. They spent the afternoon in the water exploring the reefs and swimming to her hearts content. Her joy was contagious and even the wildlife seemed they played and she played and was truly an enchanted afternoon. Though the only magic had been in her transformation, she brought the rest. When the time was nearly up he reminded her gently and they headed back towards the beach. There was sadness at the change back but still gratefulness and they parted ways on mutually friendly terms. He truly hoped he'd made her happy and that he'd see her again someday.
