Slowly but surely, the interior of the Trial chamber lit up to reveal an area just as large as the one they were in but lined with curving arcs of white marble. Generosity’s emblem decorated the walls, and in the center laying upon a mass of gold coins, jewels, and other treasures was a mass and imposing black dragon. It had four massive bat-like wings and a huge tail. His scales were as dark as onyx, but had an ethereal shine to them and its eyes were as bright as the reddest rubies..

"I AM THE GUARDIAN OF AVARICE CREATED BY THE SPIRIT OF GENEROSITY," it spoke. "IT IS MY DUTY TO CAST OUT THOSE BESET BY GREED! ARE THOU READY TO SUBMIT THEMSELVES TO THE TRIAL CANDIDATE TWILIGHT SPARKLE?"

"I…I am!" Twilight loudly answered after taking a moment to gather her wits and suppress her awe. Despite her encounter and experience with the first guardian, the presence of this one was no less imposing.

"BE FOREWARNED, THIS TRIAL IS A TEST OF YOUR GENEROSITY REFLECTIVE OF YOUR PERSONALITY NATURE! AS GENEROSITY IS MORE THAN SIMPLY GIVING AWAY WHAT YOU HAVE. ONE MUST BUT BE WILLING TO UNSELFISHLESSLY GIVE IN MEANS BEYOND MONETARY VALUE! IN ESSENCE ONE EMBODY EMPATHY AND KINDNESS TOWARD THEIR FELLOW BEING TO UNDERSTAND WHAT TRUE GENEROSITY MEANS."

Kindness. Unselfish. Generous. Nopony better than Rarity exemplified that.

"NOW THERE ARE TWO CHOICES! THE SIMPLE CHOICE OF ME READING THE CONTENTS OF YOUR HEART AND MIND TO DECIDE YOUR GENEROSITY OR YOU CAN TAKE THE REALM QUEST. BE FOREWARNED BY DOING THE LATTER THIS MEANS THE POWER YOU COULD OBTAIN WILL BE SHARED WITH ANY OTHERS CONNECTED, BUT IT WILL PROVE FAR MORE ARADOROUS!" The spirit didn't need to read Twilight's mind to know what would be chosen. Every time they came it was always the same.

"I Choose the latter!” Like before she repeated the same words she spoke to the previous guardian.

For the first time in its existence the spirit was shocked into silence. Never before had…no….long ago…there were two ponies. Two sisters that made the choice. In though they could not fully invoke their lesser element, together they shared both bond and powers. Could they have at long last found worthy inheritors? For a moment the spirit had thought it sensed a strange disruption in Treachery’s spirit. Now it came to understand that it was not just a matter of misinterpretation.

"I ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR WORTHINESS TWILIGHT SPARKLE! I SHALL NOW ADMINISTER THE TRIAL OF GENEROSITY. PREPARE THYSELVES!"

The Guardian of AVARICE's Diamond shaped emblem raised from its head and shot down at Twilight who knew nothing but a blinding flash before fading out.

How many decades, how many centuries had passed since his imprisonment? Long had his thirst for revenge and havoc faded away to melancholy and hopeless. Long ago were his plans to get revenge against the princesses nothing more than a sad delusion that fueled his determination before it faded away.

He should have stayed as a simple Jinn and never accepted power from that spirit. Unbeknowst to modern they inhabitants the original jinns were not wish-granting deities. They were beings of neutral morality that lived amongst the planet like most modern they mortals. They too needing substance and shelter, but having bodies stronger than most mortal day mortals before most of their kind had been wiped out or enslaved once it was found out they could be enslaved and used to create the powerful modern day dijinn whom could influence reality enough to grand wishes.

“Hey Twilight, whats with that ugly old lamp?”

Was that…his ears did not deceive him? A voice? Finally after so many years.

“A Genie lamp.” This time it was a female voice that answered.

Yes. Set me free. Rub the map. And make a selfless wish. As part of his penance, his freedom would only be granted if he was able to grand enough selfless wishes to put his karma in the positive. Selfish wishes would only prolong his stay in the lamp and one of the spells added to the lamp made sure he could not manipulate his prospective master as most jinns were commonly known to be vengeful and put twists on wishes upon becoming enslave genies.

“Cool! Does it grant three wishes with some magical genie-pony coming out?”

“I highly doubt so Spike. Even in the Princesses’ youth were nearly wiped out as a species and genies are even rarer. They were rivals to Draconqui not to mention hunted down and slaved for many Millennia. Coming across one would be a once in a life time event.”

“Although it would be cool wouldn’t it? Have any wish you want granted; it’d be nice to know what my birth parents were like.”

“You know, what the hay? Why don’t I rub it? Just for fun?”

“Make sure you say some dramatic words when you do it, like “OH MIGHTY GENIE, COME FORTH AND GRANT MY WISH!”

Twilight let out a soft giggle at her brother’s silliness, “I’m pretty sure if there was a Jinn, he wouldn’t appreciated being treated like in a foal’s tale.”

---

Twilight couldn’t help but let out a shocked gasp as smoke and flickering embers escaped from the lamp. It took the form of a pale, bipedal being with long sharp elf-like ears and thin wirey frame.

“You have summoned me, my master, state your wish and I shall grant it. My only limitations is that I cannot alter the fundamental natures of the laws or wishes that come in conflict with those of the Gods.”

“Holy Faust!” Spike muttered as he looked up in awe.

Twilight looked up mouth of gape as untold number of scenarios and questions filtered through her mind before briefly shutting down and having to do a hard reboot.

“I implore you my master. Any desire you have I can fulfill. Wealth? Money? Power? Peace? Comfort? Your desires are merely whats upon the edge of your lips. “ If only this damn compulsion didn’t make him completely offer any potential wish he would be well on his way to being free.

“Well buddy, I got news for you. Knowing Twilight she’s probably going to wish for all the books in the world!?” Spike interjected with a snort that puffed out slight whips of smokes.

“Infinite…books…” Twilight began to practically salivate at the idea.

After so many untold years and finally coming across a master the Dijinn’s hopes were dashed. Misery filled his eyes as he was sure that anyone who had that much thirst for knowledge either used it for their own selfish means or abused the knowledge for means that were anything, but noble. “With all the potential wishes in this world you settle for knowledge that you cannot possibly consume in a mortal’s lifetime? Is there truly no other desire in your heart?”

“That’s right! There are truly few things I could want? I have the love of my life and the greatest family and friends a pony could ask for not to mention I have never wanted much for money and power. True more money and power could potentially help make my life more convenient, but I believe in myself and those around me to make due with what we have. Now that I think about it, honestly, even if I could think of more noble ways to use the wish your offering me, I am honestly afraid of the irreversible damage I could do to reality if I just wish to change the fabric of our current reality without a greater understanding of the nature of the world around me and the possibility of altering the free wills of those around me.”

The dijinn before her was left dumbfounded. He was stuck, trying to form some matter of response for several minutes.

“For the first time in so many years since I was trapped in this lamp never have, I come across such a selfless soul. All I ever granted were wishes of power, riches, and immortality. More than my fair share of masters littered your Tartarus and other prisons among this world. For a moment my hope of ever gaining positive karma was on the verge of dying until today.”

“Is gaining karma really that important?”

“Until I gain enough, I will forever be a prisoner to this lamp. A slave, punishment for my transgressions and foolhardiness in the past. I…I can’t even remember the last time I spent so much time outside my lamp.”

A frown marred Twilight’s face at that admission. “It…it must be horrible. I’m so sorry you had to deal with that. I understand criminals or law breakers whose powers exceed mortal limits need exceptional caution and prisons, but how long have you been suffering like this?”

“I’ve lost count after the first thousand years or so. “ A sad, forlorn chuckle escaped his lips. “You know, this is, beyond pleasant.”

“What is?” She asks him.

“Well to be out here and just talking like this, it would not be more than mere minutes that I would have granted a wish and be a prison once more.

Twilight rubbed a hand under her chin and said one sentence that jinn did not think they would ever hear.

“Then I wish for you to be free of your prison and reverted back to a Jinn so you will never have to live in fear of being enslaved again.”

“Why?” He spoke as his voice barely reached above a whisper. “You could have wished for anything. Why are you using your wish on me?”

“You sure about this Twi?” Spike added, reminding them that yes, he was still there despite the role of silent observer he had been playing.

Twilight took a deep breath and considered for a brief moment her choice. “I’m sure. I’m going to put my trust in him, because I believe anypony, anyone who shows genuine remorse and is willing to repent for their mistakes is one I’m willing to give a chance too.”

“You…you have no idea how much…just…why?”

“It be against my nature to not help a friend in need.”

For a first time in a lifetime the Jinn shed a tear. “To make such a sacrifice and to call one such as myself a friend. Never have I met such a kind and generous soul in my life. Speak it…so it shall be.’

“Alright then, Genie. I wish for your freedom and conversion back to your true self so you’ll never have to live in fear or being enslaved again.”

“Y-Your wish shall be granted!”

The binding light that filled the room soon faded as the Genie was a Jinn once more. The ghostly like wisp of a tail split apart and materialized giving birth to a pair of legs. The golden shackles around his wrist split apart and crumpled away like dust. And the very anchors that weighed heavily on his soul disappeared.

He couldn’t help but shed some tears, tears of joy as he bent down and hugged Twilight.

“I-I thought all mortals was just like I was back in the day. Full of delusions of grandeur and selfish. Never have I been happier to realize there are truly good someones out there.”

“It was the least I could do.” Twilight hugs back, “I wouldn’t be a good believer of Harmony if I was so selfish after all.”

“Let me get started cooking then. Faust knows if I was trapped for a thousand years I be trying to eat everything in sight.” Spike exits after watching this scene.

“Now that I think about it. I never got your name?”

“My name? It has been so long I have almost forgot it. It is…Uris The Vibrant.”

Twilight's Generosity was felt as a bright light sparked into being. The light slowly formed into a shape, before letting out a large flash. Twilight blinked, and then saw that the light had formed into a pony. A very familiar-looking Unicorn, to be precise.

"I am the embodiment of Generosity. I have taken the form of my bearer because it would be the easiest for you to perceive." It said as it gently poked Twilight Sparkle on the forehead. "I have given you, my blessings. Through the two-way bond shared between you and my bearer I see the potential of True Generosityy being birth into this world. We expect great things from you holders. I look forward to see if maybe you will be the ones to see Harmony's full potential."
