Reuben stepped in the portal with glee, forgetting the voices behind him as he venture out to a new era in his life time.

Everything that was foretold in the small book came to life. Floating islands, poring out endless flows of chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, and more to come. Flying Gummy Birds, Cinamon Monster, Giant Wafersaurus, impossible description.

For a moment he couldn't believe what was before him as if he was stunt by a magical spell. Out of the portrait came a gingerbreadman, a fine looking one of course. His height was 5ft. 6. He had a brown texture, white eyes, mouth, and buttons. On his left hand, held a candy cane. On his head, wore a white hat with a candy ribbon wrapped around the hip of the hat.

He spoke"Hello! Welcome to Candy Land! You know what they say! Sugar and spice and everything nice! Of course we don't have spices in our world but nevermind, what is your name kid?"

"My name is Reuben."

"Pleasure to meet you! My name is Ginger, well my friends call me Gin but you can call either both. Would you mind if I accompany you and show you around?"

"Oh sure I would, thanks!"

"Alright lets go."

The both of them went on for a walk, well not so much for a walk but more like an adventure around the terrain of candy land.

"So right here we have the Muffin Field, expanding over 30 acres of land or what we called cookie dough."

pointing out to the open field.

"Its like soil right?"

"Whats a soil?"

"You haven't seen soil before?"

"No. Is it a new ingredient?"

"Well its definitely not ingredient for it would taste horrible."

"Oh I see."

The gingerbreadman took him to a cave and it was a passage or way to meet the floating islands in the sky. It had a portal further to the end of the cave. Nearby is a market where the gingerbreadmen and women do a trade with each other, they trade from food to accessory to various unseen merchant trade. To the left of the portal is a another cave that leads to the deep Valleys of Mocca Fudge Sundaes.

Reuben asked "Where are you taking me?"

"We are gonna take a nice view of the land from an island in the sky. Are you ready?"

"Yah, I'm ready."

Straight in they went in the Marsh Cobblestone Arch that had a view from the floating island. It was an amazing exprience for Reuben for he had yet not seen anything like this in his life. At his point of his view, he could see a waffle-like castle 10 miles away, flying twiggies, a herd of starchasoaries that look like ants from above. There was so much to describe in one view for Reuben with his mouth wide open.

"Wow! This is awesome!"

"I know it is, come on, let me introduce you to some of Candy Land's well known animals."

With a tip of a top, until he drop, they bounce off from a jelly cloud and landed gently on the next island with the help of the flying twiggies.

"Thank you!" (Reuben waving good-bye to the flying twiggies.)

Out from the berry shrubs came out the Cotton Bunnies. 6 came out at once, suddenly a few more from another shrub, and it slowly came into conclusion that there were more than 300 of them on that particular island on where they stand. Their description were unique from a regular bunny in the real world. Their maximum size is up to a regular bunny, their eyes are an inch long, their texture is the feel of a cotton but once shaved or droped is the texture of a cotton candy and so as the taste. 

Reuben slowly reached out to one of them and held it on his arms and they were the lightest thing Reuben has ever held in his life. 

"We harvest these Cotton Bunnies's fur for clothing and also for furnitures." 

"Can they be eaten?"

"No, we don't wanna frighten this wonderful creatures away. Come on, jump of this island." (insisting Reuben to jump)

"Wait what are you doing? Whoaaaaahh!"

Reuben landed on a Candy Hawk together with the GingerBread Man.

"Where are we going?"

"We are going to see the Castle, its gonna be great."
