⏳💛The Prince Of Sands💛⌛️| Zosan

4 | ⏳ Genie ⌛️

Zoro whipped his head around as Usopp screamed loudly. The voice was of a man's, although it was awfully delicate. Zoro looked around, trying to find out where the man was hiding.

"Hello? Who are you?" Zoro called out, drawing his sword in case of an ambush.

"That's what I should be asking, to the two cowards that entered my tomb," a man stepped out from a sand pillar. 

His hair was blonde, it covered one half of his face, just like a mystery waiting to be uncovered. His eyes were bright blue, like an ocean, the waves being his eyebrows that curved into a swirl on the end of his face. He wore blue transparent robes that were slightly plated in gold, bringing out his awfully slim figure. He looked like a prince.

"Who are you, or... what are you?" Zoro asked the man, sheathing his sword.

"Me? I'm a Genie, and I would prefer it if you didn't fuck up my tomb, it's quite disrespectful." The man said, walking over to the centre of the room.

"I was told that a Prince lives here, but he's still sleeping," Zoro said, watching blue smoke release out of the genie's hand, lifting up a golden lamp.

"Oh yeah, that's probably me as well," The genie said, laughing.

"But, they said that once you woke up, you would save the village?" Zoro said, remembering what the man told him earlier.

"Don't wanna."

"What?"

"I don't wanna,"

"You don't want to what?"

"Save them,"

"What?"

"I don't want to save them."

"But it's your destiny?"

"Destiny this, destiny that, I don't care."

"But they're suffering! They will only let you save them!"

"Sorry mate, I don't have the energy,"

"But you're a genie, you have infinite amount of energy?"

"Yes but there's this thing called, 'being lazy,'"

Zoro sighed, there was no getting through to this guy. Zoro walked closer to him, drawing his sword once more.

"What the hell are you doing? That things pretty sharp y'know, it could kill someone," the genie said, putting his hands in the air as Zoro pointed the tip of his sword below his neck.

"Save them. Or I'll kill you." Zoro said, glaring into the eyes of the genie. Those eyes soon disappeared with the rest of his body.

Oh yeah. He's a fucking genie isn't he.

Something clanged on the floor. Zoro looked down, it was the lamp that was being held by the genie earlier. He bent down, reaching his hand out to the lamp.

"Wait no, don't touch it-!"

But it was too late, Zoro already had his fingers wrapped around the object holding it up as it glowed brightly. He heard a loud cough and a painful groan, Zoro turned his head to look at the genie who was on the floor, clasping his chest in pain.

"A-are you alright?" Zoro asked, rushing over to the genie. He put his hand on the genies back and put the lamp on floor.

"Y...you idiot!" The genie shouted, slapping Zoro across the face before crying in pain once again.

"What? What's so bad about me touching it?" Zoro asked. The genie was now coughing up blood and gasping for air as Usopp rushed over. 

"Don't you understand? Now that you-," The genies sentence was cut off by him choking on his own blood, spitting it out and breathing heavily.

"Now that you touched the lamp, we're bound together forever!"
