"So what is your favorite candy?" He asked. This has got to be the 50th question at the very least. Why is this stranger asking me these questions?
It all started when he found out that I was the Almighty. After spitting out a healthy serving of tea, he immediately straightened his posture and turned more serious. His intimidating figure immediately became even more frightening.
Under his hood, I could see 2 bright golden eyes staring at me. It was as if he wanted to see through my soul. Yet in this same serious manner, he continued to ask such light-hearted questions.
In fact, it would be better if the questions were more serious. Like: have you ever killed anyone before? If so how many people and where and how did you kill them?
That would have been a lot easier to answer.
Oh right, I have to answer. Let's see. Candies. I don't eat candy. Not that I have some weird disease that makes it so that I cannot. It is just I have never paid attention to them before and just ate some random ones casually. So I have no idea how to answer. Hmm.
"I love all candies so it is hard for me to decide."
"Oh, is that so. You would get along great with Wrath then. He has such a sweet tooth." At this, I caught a flash of sadness in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
"He had a candy orchard near my mansion. Nature made sure that the trees still function properly."
Function? Is it a machine? Then why are they calling it an orchard?
"When harvest time comes around, we take all the ripe candies and store them properly so they don't decay."
I didn't know candies could be ripe. Then again, I had never looked into the field of candy manufacturing. Well, at least I learned something today and made this trip a not complete waste.
"I just wish that he would come back here quickly. Though I would have to seal him up again." He finished, sighing dramatically. And then the weirdest thing happened. Time, as if to fulfill his wish, sped up. Day turned to night and the spring turned to summer. The leaves on the tree fell and bloomed again. The rose vines on the pavilion extended further.
It kept picking up speed and I panicked. Shouldn't they be doing something to stop this?
Stars was trying to cheer the stranger up by offering him some tea. They both acted as if everything was normal.
But nothing was normal. It was cold one second and burning hot the next and time looked like it had no intention of stopping. Instead, it sped up more.
Then, all of a sudden. Everything froze. The snow stopped falling. The moon stopped moving. Everything was still and silent.
Confused, I looked up and immediately knew the reason why.
In front of me stood, those that had been trapped in crystals just hours before. They were back.
Looking over at the table, a certain phrase came to mind: Careful what you wish for, it might just become true.
