418 A Note In Ancient Greek

"Uh, Matt...Where did you get this?" She asked. Matt looked at her.

"Oh, that's just the note that came with Lumiosa's lamp," Matt said. "I can't read it."

"I can, it's ancient Greek," Alexis said. "And it's definitely worth a read."

"What does it say?" Sophie asked.

"Matthew Evans and Sophie Swift are exempt from the unbreakable rules of the genies," Alexis replied.

"Exempt?" Matt said. "What does that mean?"

"It would appear to mean that the two of you can break the rules of the genies," Alexis said.

"But that is impossible," Lumiosa said. "The rules of the genies are unbreakable. No-one is exempt from them."

"Well it could just be a prank on behalf of whoever sent you Lumiosa, Matt," Alexis said. "You're sure you don't know who sent her?"

"Positive," Matt replied.

"Well whoever it is, they clearly wanted you to give you a message," Sophie said.

"Or play a prank," Alexis said. "I'm sorry, but there is absolutely no way for you two to be exempt from the rules of the genies. The rules are absolute. Every genie in the world knows that."

"Well maybe whoever sent Lumiosa to Matt was exempt for some reason?" Sophie suggested. "Maybe it was...the maker."

"There's no such person," Alexis said.

"And how do you know?" Sophie asked.

"Because why would someone create the universe, put a load of genies on a random planet, and proceed to do precisely nothing else for the rest of eternity?" Alexis replied.

"I don't know, maybe we're his playthings?" Matt suggested. "Gods need entertainment."

"Matt, if there's one thing I've learned in my millennia of existence, it's that there's no such thing as God. Just people using their genies to pretend to be gods, and threaten people into worshipping them. I used to be good friends with the guy who parted the Red Sea. Nothing particularly god-like about him, although he certainly knew how to put a smile on a girl's face."

Well maybe we could try it at least," Matt said. "I mean, what would actually happen if we broke the rules?"

"Nothing," Alexis replied. "The spell simply won't work."

"So there's no problem with trying?" Matt asked.

"Well, aside from the fact it won't work, no, there's no problem," Alexis said. It was clear she was against it.

"Alexis, don't you realise if this is true, we can save our friends?" Sophie said. "Don't you want that?"

"Of course I do, but I really don't want you to get your hopes up," Alexis replied.

"Master, I will try to do this, if that is what you wish," Lumiosa said.

"Then let's do it," Matt said, and Sophie nodded.
