The genie emerged only when someone wiped off the dust of stories from the lamp.
She felt suffocated in there, especially because she was punished for no fault of hers. The claustrophobia had also compelled her to look inwards and find a light beyond what the lamp could imagine.

She started etching alphabets and images on dust-laden surfaces, and newer genies started emerging, offering to help her on her journey.
She looks back with pride at the caravan and discards the lamp.
