The Guava Tales


The underground path was long and twisty. But at the end, I stepped into a magical world called Candaria—the Kingdom of Sweets.

The sky looked like clouds of colorful cotton candy. A light sugary mist floated in the air. Everywhere I looked, the land was made of delicious things:

  • Theobroma River – a wide river of hot chocolate with giant marshmallows floating on top.
  • Anisean Heights – shiny rock-candy mountains with tall green Licorice Trees dripping syrup.
  • Gumdrop Glades – bouncy jelly ground with massive gumdrops like bright jewels.The Guava Tales


Even though I had already eaten a big meal, this place made my stomach growl again!

Suddenly, a creature appeared near the river. It looked like a toasted marshmallow shaped like a small child, with shiny jellybean eyes. It spoke in a voice that sounded like ringing glass.

“Welcome, traveller. I am Mallow from the Custodial Corps. You must be Sweet Guava—the new visitor.”

“I just followed a note…” I said, confused.

Mallow chuckled softly.
“Candaria has simple rules. Anyone who desires sweetness eventually finds their way here. Come—King Icing and Queen Glaze are waiting for you in the Glaze Citadel.”
