About Garlic

The Bulbless King sat on his throne, which was made entirely from garlic bulbs and looked down to the traveler standing below him. He curled his lips in amusement as thick layers of skin fell from his neck when he adjusted his position to take a better look at the foreigner.

"Do you wish to meet the Bulbous Overlord?" Asked the King. A garlic fairy quietly makes her way through the stairs and handed the sovereign a cup of wine.

"Indeed my Lord. I have been hearing about the Most Revered Ones from the divine spirit living in my head. It urged me to make a contact for reasons I do not know yet." The traveler bowed.

"Very well, you may enter. However, it is necessary to know a few facts about the most Honorable Lord and his realm. Keep your ears open and listen to what I am saying next." The Bulbless One took a sip from his jewel ladden cup, then he began.

"The Bulbous Overlord was bought to life when the first light of the heavenly realm reached the Eastern hemisphere of the Earth. After years and years of honing his art of making garlic butter bread, his power grew tremedously, allowing the Revered One to ascend to the Divine sphere and became a godly existence. He rented a plot of land and then began planting seeds there with the purpose of transforming it into his own dimension. His realm, the Garlic Heaven, was thus, created. In this fantastic land, his creations thrived in the darkness of the sky and their unending quest of survival against the mites grant them a purpose. As foreigner, you can walk among His creatures without fear as long as you do not interfer with the world's order."

"That is all I have to say. Now, go." His majesty gestured at the garlic fairy and she bowed softly. The maiden came down the stairs and promised to lead the traveler to their destination, their own unmaking.

And, the journey began.
