New to the Jade Dragon series? Go to beginning>>
When I wished for magic, I was ensorcelled.
When I wished for knowledge, I learned too much.
When I wished to fly, you weighed me down with the broken shell of your desire.

This post is part of the Jade Dragon series. Though I try to make these installments enjoyable as individual pieces, I highly recommend that you read the series from the beginning to really get what’s going on.
This post was written in response to the Trifecta Writing Challenge Trifextra prompt:
Write 33 words exactly about three wishes that come at a high price to the wisher.

I shall have to go and read Jade, but this does work really well as a standalone. Sigh … hate to be weighed down when I’m flying, right?

Very nice extension of Jade, which I have enjoyed very much! This is sadder than the previous installments, which is funny because nobody died in this one.

Very standalone piece. I have read some of Jade, but not enough to remember well.
