Description Commissioned by *Merman1234

"Two lovers went exploring inside a cave. Their village was very poor and the villagers were starving for food and water. The two lovers had heard of the lost treasures of the gods but no one had been able to find it, if these two lovers could find such a treasure their village problems would be solved. The odds that they could find such a treasure was against them, since so many had tried and come out with nothing or lost their lives.

As they explored the cave on the third day, they had just about given up when an earthquake occurred shaking the insides of the cave. That shakeup caused a wall of the cave to tumble! Curious they explored this now open part of the cave and discovered the treasure of the gods! Treasure was everywhere, even on the walls! At that moment another earthquake occurred causing a cave in and injuring the boyfriend. The girlfriend was uninjured, but her boyfriend became unconscious. The girlfriend soon realized that they would die if she couldn't find a way out, for hours she tried to move the rocks but they proved to heavy, she even explored further into the cave to find a way out but couldn't find one.

She came back to her boyfriend and prepared to die with him, until she heard a voice coming from a lamp. She asked the lamp what it wanted from her, the lamp replied that it needed a host genie! In return it would let her use her new genie power only once to transport her boyfriend and treasure back to the village, but in return she would become the genie of the lamp, enslaved to the god that created the lamp in the first place for thousand years, and once that thousand years was up she would be released from the lamp. With tears in her eyes she accepts this offer only to rescue her boyfriend and the village, and knowing she will never see him again."

"And then, near the end of her thousand years of servitude, one kind master who learned her story wished that upon her release from the lamp she'd be returned to her village and time to be reunited with her lover so they could share a long and happy life together."

Oh wow, very nice, sad and pretty story, awesome drawing !
I like the colors and everything, I don't see anything wrong in that piece, but I would still say that maybe she is a bit static and it could have been better if she wasn't. But frankly the art is already awesome here !

I need to take story-telling lessons from you because that was great, it makes sense and explains the origin of the genie with good detail, good show.
