[WP] You have been a mountaintop prophet for 1,000 years. Each person only gets one question and you're sure you've heard every question that can be asked. Until one day someone uses their one question to ask, "How are you doing?" | I've always been a meditator. Staring into the sky or tidepools by the ocean, looking inwards and learning about myself.

[WP] You are a budget mage. While most of your colleagues use costly ingredients, rituals that take weeks to prepare and use a new spell for every problem, you only know a few spells, use common household ingredients and prepare rituals within minutes. They unjustly deride your work as shoddy. | "I shall bind the stars and bend the whims of a galaxy to soothe thy terrible pain," said the golden mage.

[WP] You wished to find a dragon to slay for its treasure. Now you're not sure how to feel seeing a thumb-sized dragon try to drag its single shiny copper coin with it as it runs away from you. | "Daddy, he's so cute." Judith clutched my hand as the tiny red dragon dragged its hoard, a single copper coin, across the floor of the cave. "Can I have him?"
I sighed, sliding a platinum coin from my pouch into her grasp. "Alright, dear. If that's what you want."

[WP] As a genie you take great pride in deliberately misinterpreting every wish to make it as horrible as possible, but the wish you received today is the first wish that you not only have no idea how to make any worse, but you feel that even just fulfilling it as stated would be going too far. | "I wish for it to get worse."

[WP] After Earth was declared a galactic safe haven, anti-xenoterrestrial sentiment began to rise. You, a second generation immigrant from another planet, calmly walk down the street when a voice yells at you "Go back to Mars!" You snap back "I was born in Chicago!" | “You did fucking what?!” Glenvarr, the dark elf screamed from his containment chamber.
“Well, Glen, can I call you Glen?”

[WP] You've been abandoned on the battlefield, the enemy closing in. Forsaken by heaven and countrymen, you retreat to the deepest corner of your mind. If your gods won't help, perhaps the inner dark will. You cry out to the void. It answers. | Nothing from my Marine training had prepared me for this kind of war.

[WP] They said that you could never save the kingdom, that you would fail and die miserably, because you were not the prophesized hero. And when you returned after saving the realm on your own, instead of welcoming you as a hero the king banished you, as it was not your place to save them. | A king stood at his balcony, looking towards the horizon as a small blue dot slowly grew.
