The Land of Sweetness
When the children found their way out of the cave, they were surprised at the land that was on the outside. They lived in a peaceful and beautiful village, but this land was exceptionally bright and beautiful. The sun shone brighter, and the grass, everything around them had brighter colors. Holly noted to Sean, "Even the air smells sweet". Sean examined the grass and for kicks, decided to taste it. "It tastes like sugar", he noted, "I wonder what this place is".
Just then, a fairly-like being materialized in front of them in a bright blue light. She was a tall slender woman with blonde hair and a warm inviting smile. She wore a dress that appeared to have a frosting texture. The children gazed in reverence. The divine being introduced herself, "Greetings children, I am Queen Frostine. Welcome to Candy Land. You have discovered the great land where candy and sweets of all kind originate. Feel free to explore the kingdom and try the many delicacies. I will serve as your guide; if there's anything you need, blow this whistle" The Queen handed Sean the whistle, which was shaped like small flute and had a pearl color. The children looked at in in awe and looked up. The queen smiled and disappeared.
"Wow, a land where candy is made", Holly exclaimed, "Let's go explore this great land". "I wonder if there are mints", Sean wondered. "I'd like to lick some lollypops, I wonder if they have watermelon flavor", Holly responded. Holly was the most eager to try all the different confectionaries. The children skipped along to explore this wonderful land.
Behind them lurked a menacing looking figure. He was a tall man with a red cape made of licorice. He had a hat with a large rim. He carried a cane also made of licorice. "Hark", he said, "There are children here; I must follow and capture them, and fill them with fear", the sinister man declared with a devilish grin. "Lord Licorice has decreed, that my castle the children shall not flee", he declared. "Now where did I put my licorice cane", he said clumsily, "Oh, I forgot, I set it down when I gave my declaration." Lord Licorice ended up tripping on his cane as he walked away from the scene. "Curses", he said flustered. He then followed the children discreetly.
