425 Centuries Back ..

The year was 1470. A young man was walking through the markets on the Ponte Vecchio. His Master had sent him to acquire some more painting supplies, though he often liked to explore the marketplace as he did so, to find things which interested him.

"Good morning Leonardo," said the man on one of the market stalls. "How's Andrea doing?"

"Quite well, thank you Francesco," Leonardo smiled. "He enjoyed those biscuits your wife made."

"I'm glad of it, she enjoyed the portrait he drew of her," said Francesco. "So what can I get for you today?"

"A dozen or so paintbrushes would be good," replied Leonardo.

"Coming right up."

Leonardo paid for the paintbrushes, and walked off, in order to explore the rest of the market. On one of the stalls, he saw something shining in the corner of his eye. Sitting on one of the stalls, mixed together with lots of other random junk, was a lamp.

"Ah, interested in something, are we?" Asked the merchant.

"That item, what is it?" Leonardo asked, pointing at it.

"This thing? Oh, it's just some old Arabian lamp I got. I think it was from some old rich guy in Venice who'd died. I just found it in with his things."

"Fascinating," Leonardo said, picking it up. "I would be interested in purchasing it. Just let me get this bit of dirt off..."

Leonardo began rubbing the lamp, and he felt it grow warm in his hands. A cloud of light-blue smoke began pouring out, and he stared at it in amazement. The other market-goers gasped, and some ran away, while others just watched with intrigue. The cloud of smoke began clumping together, forming a humanoid shape. Eventually, stood there on the Ponte Vecchio, was an incredibly gorgeous, nude girl, who looked around at the stunned crowds.

"Awww, if I knew I'd have an audience, I'd have freshened up a bit," Alexis said. She looked around at the crowd's faces, all of them speechless at this girl's sudden appearance. She then saw Leonardo, holding her lamp. "I guess you're my new Master then." Alexis walked up to Leonardo, and moved her face in close to his. "Well aren't you a lucky guy."

"Um...excuse me?" Leonardo asked.

"Well, getting a genie makes you a pretty lucky person indeed," Alexis smiled.

"Guards, guards!" They heard someone shout. They both turned and saw several guards approaching, brandishing swords. "That girl just appeared in a cloud of smoke, from the lamp that man is holding!"

"Hold it you two!" One of the guards shouted. "You're coming with us!"

"Oh? And how exactly do you plan on making us?" Alexis asked confidently.

"Because if you don't, we'll run our swords through you!"

"Now how on Earth do you plan on doing that when they're floating in the river?" Alexis asked. She then flicked her wrist, causing the guards' swords to fly out of their hands, and off the bridge, into the waters of the River Arno. The crowd was shocked.

"Witchcraft!" Shouted one person.

"She is the devil!" Shouted another.

"Honestly, you people and your superstitions," Alexis said. "Now then, I suppose I need some clothing." She looked over at one man, the one who had called her the devil. "You'll do. The devil needs your clothes."

Alexis snapped her fingers, and the man was instantly stood in just his undergarments, the rest of his clothes having been moved onto Alexis' body.

"Wonderful," she smiled, before taking Leonardo's hand. "Come on, Master. Let's go back to your place." She then turned to face the crowd. "Listen up everyone! My Master and I are going to go back to his house! I don't recommend trying to stop us."

Alexis pulled Leonardo along, and the crowd parted to let them through, everyone terrified at Alexis' powers. They were almost off the bridge, when a man ran at them brandishing a knife.

"DIE WHORE!" He shouted, but Alexis just stuck her hand out at him, freezing him in place. She raised her hand, causing the man to float in the air. With only her hand gestures, she made him float over the side of the bridge.

"Oh I do hope you can swim," Alexis smiled, before letting him drop into the water below.
