Holding the powerful djinn in a bottle, you face a crucial decision: whether to use your wishes to slay the dragon or to save it.
If you choose to slay the dragon, you can wield your djinn's magic to aid your sister in her quest to fulfill her destiny with the magical sword she stole from you. Alternatively, you might decide to take on the dragon yourself, becoming a legendary hero in the process. This choice aligns with the desires of many in Ghariba who seek an end to the dragon's destructive rampages.

Each choice opens up different avenues, from navigating the complex politics of the palace to exploring the world beyond the city's walls. Whether you aim to protect the city, unravel mysteries, or even ascend to power yourself, the power of the djinn's wishes lies in your hands.
