What do you wish for: Nethrienna

Holding the ticket in her hands, Nethrienna closes her eyes and begins to think about appearing before the genie. The number 150 appears on the ticket, and Nethrienna is instantly teleported in front of a genie.

“Wow! Number one hundred and fifty! Welcome to my realm Nethrienna! You’re the next soul to enter my realm ready to collect an orb that will grant their wish. All you need to do now is tell me that wish.” With that, the genie waits for you to speak your wish.

“I wish I could venture to another world like Alrest,” Nethrienna said excitedly. The genie just looked blankly at her. “Uh…” The genie rubbed her head. “One moment, I need to use magic to look that up.” The genie's eyes started to glow and she remained very still and silent.

After a minute the genie's eyes stopped glowing and she looked at Nethrienna. “Alright, my search results tell me that Alrest is the setting of Xenoblade Chronicles 2.” Nethrienna nodded and confirmed that was it.

“Good, sending you there will be a snap, but honestly it might be a little dangerous to send you there the way you are now. Seeing that you have no powers and are a normal weak human with no magical power at all, you’d probably die.”

Nethrienna felt a bit insulted but had to admit the genie was right. Nethrienna asked what she should do then, or if she should change her wish. The genie shook her head. “No need to change the wish, I have an idea.”

The genie turned around and stuck her hands out. “It’s normally easier to fly over to where the wish is, but I don’t feel like carrying so many.” The genie snapped both her fingers and magic shot out of them and went in all directions.

A few seconds later a handful of orbs came flying towards the genie. She caught each one and then placed them in front of Nethrienna one by one until there were a dozen sitting in front of her. Once they were all here the genie turned back toward Nethrienna.

“Alright, each of these orbs will send you to the world of Alrest, but depending on which one you pick, you’ll end up as a different character in that world. Oh and don’t worry, I made sure to only pick the female characters.”

Nethrienna was excited, not only was she going to get to go to Alrest, but she’d get to be one of its characters. Nethrienna inspected the orbs but they all looked the same. “Oh, yeah, I guess you can't see into them like me, so I guess it’ll be a surprise.”

Nethrienna looked at the orbs for a minute then grabbed one. “Ooooh, good choice, that one is cute. Now hold it nice and tight. I’ll snap my fingers to send you home, that’s when the orb will activate and take you to Alrest and turn you into that character.”

Nethrienna smiled and hugged the orb. She then thanked the genie. “My pleasure, I hope you enjoy your wish.” The genie then lifts her hand up, smiles at Nethrienna, then snaps her fingers. A portal opens up behind Nethrienna and sucks her in.

Nethrienna had to close her eyes because the spinning and colors from the portal hurt her head a bit, but after a minute she was thrown from the portal and hit something. Then she fell backward onto her butt.

Nethrienna opened her eyes and looked around. She definitely wasn't in her original world anymore. She then looked down at herself to see which character she ended up as. She was wearing a short yellow dress and had a black belt around her waist.

Below that she had black leggings. Nethrienna stood up and twisted her body to see behind her. She then reached her hands up to the top of her head. As she suspected, she had long pointy ears. That told her exactly who she was.

It was clear to her that she ended up in the body of Nia, a character who was a blade, flesh eater, and queen in the games. She was definitely an interesting character to end up as, and somewhat cool.

Not only was she a blade, but she was a driver, so she would be able to act as a blade for Rex as well as act as Dromarch’s driver, which was quite cool. Nethrienna looked around again, now that she was here, she just had to figure out which point of the story she was currently at.
