Zacharias

Za'rias lives in an enchanted bottle that keeps him foerever 16-18 and meets all his physical needs--breathing, nutrition . . . everything. Of course he cannot escape or affect bottle the bottle in any way. He does not remember life before his current owner, who is a girl (at least initially), a gift from her great grandmother who received him from her great grandmother. The girl 16, has had him since she was 5. Great Grandmama's only instruction, "If you release Za'rias he becomes a normal boy with normal needs, albeit 6" tall. (Might he grow?)
