Mallow led me along a winding path made of colourful gumdrop
stones. We climbed up a tall Jellybean Stalk that reached high into the sweet
sky. As we moved higher, I noticed how busy Candaria was.
All around us were candy people working together:
- Wafer
Guards walked carefully, protecting the land.
- Candy-corn
Scouts climbed trees and watched from above.
- Caramel
workers looked after sticky golden fields.
At the very top stood the Glaze Citadel.
It was the most beautiful building I had ever seen. The
walls were made of smooth white chocolate with golden icing designs. Tall
towers made of spun sugar shone like glass in the light.
Inside, the throne room glittered. The floor looked like
soft almond paste, and the air smelled sweet and warm.
That’s when I saw them.
👑 King Icing
He was a huge cupcake made of rich red velvet cake. On his
head sat a thick swirl of cream-cheese frosting like a royal crown. His voice
was deep and powerful.
👑 Queen Glaze
She sat beside him on a lemon-meringue base. She glowed softly, covered in a delicate spun-sugar veil. She looked calm, kind, and wise.
“Sweet Guava,” King Icing said loudly, “you have answered an ancient call. Only those who truly love sweetness can find Candaria.”
A small gummy-bear servant stepped forward and handed me a
scroll.
“For one full Earth year,” the King announced, “you may eat,
drink, and enjoy every sweet in Candaria. You will be protected and treated
like royalty.”
My heart jumped with excitement. This felt like the greatest
dream ever!
But then Queen Glaze leaned forward and spoke gently.
“There is a price,” she said. “When the year ends, you will
not return to your world. Your soul will become part of Candaria itself. You
will turn into a sweet monument, helping our land survive.”
The room suddenly felt quiet.
It sounded scary, but the thought felt far away. A whole
year of magic and sweets lay ahead of me.
I bowed quickly.
“I accept the Edict, Your Majesties.”
The King nodded.
“So be it.”
And just like that, my life changed forever.
