Chapter 21 - Chapter 21: Knowledge

Humming a merry little elven tune, I was baking an avocado cake to enjoy with afternoon tea.

It was almost done as well. I just had to mix this batter for a few more minutes and it would be ready to go into the oven. To make sure everything was good, I tasted it. Hmm, it needs a bit more avocados. So I cut up another avocado and put a fourth of it in the batter. That should be good. But... looking at it now, it seems that there is barely any avocado in there. And so 5 more avocados made their way into the cake as it was put into the oven.

Perfect! Now I need to wait for it to cook. And then I can start decorating. Ugh, I hate waiting. Why can't this go faster?

Then, Time, being the kind person that he is (well, he usually is not this kind), grants my wish and speeds up time. Yay! I will have to remember to give him my thanks later during our next meeting.

I take the cake out to cool as I set out the avocado frosting and cut more avocados as a topping. As I am putting them on, my mind wanders to the tea.

Of course, today's tea was going to be avocado tea. Earth went to get the tea from Star since it was her turn. Stars makes the best avocado tea but I can get close with the new recipe I developed. One day I will surpass him and have the best avocado tea in all 5 realms.

Well, I suppose that three of them don't really count. Souls don't need to eat avocados or anything else for that matter. And - this matter greatly breaks my heart but it is still true - that...there is n...no (gulp) avocados in the Mirror world. Isn't it devastating! All of those poor beings suffering in a mana abundant world where everything is so magical that avocados evolve into their spiritual form and lose their original taste. (Sniff, sniff) I just wish that there was something I could do to comfort them. But I can't! (breaks into tears)

(Creak)

Turning toward the noise, I glare at the one who disturbed me in my sorrow. Just as I was about to throw the avocado dagger (the one I had borrowed from Life) at the intruder, I noticed who it was.

But I still threw the dagger. Cause, why not? Throwing daggers can be very fun. Life should use them more often instead of keeping them all caged up.
