Cinnamon Roll Magic (Prompt)
Prompt: You are a very powerful wizard with a problem: every time you cast a spell, you summon a cinnamon roll.
You could feel the power of the spell surging through you, as you focused it on first containing the Dark illness inflecting the bushes, before it could infect the rest of the forest. Your spell put the illness into stasis allowing you, and others to apply the antidote by hand, as there wasn’t a spell to stop it yet. The spell took a lot out of you, sweat beaded at your brow, and trickled into your eyesight not that you faltered for a moment, not until you were properly done with the casting. Even when your legs started to shake, you held steady focusing on your duty, and the proper casting of your spell.
You staggered back as soon as you were done, breathing quickly, heavily as you leaned against the nearest available upright structure. Your legs couldn’t hold you up anymore, so you sat–uncaring that you were in the dirt, and for once you couldn’t help but chuckle as one of your apprentices approached you holding something familiar in his hands.
“Sorry! I tried to scoop it up when it started to appear fully, but it landed on a questionable rock…so I don’t think you should try to eat this one…” Your apprentice looked a bit forlorn at the doughy pastry in his hands, the bottom of which seemed to be caked in something like charred dirt, and you quickly pulled it out of his bare hands.
“What have I told you about picking things up without gloves on when I’m casting?” With a sigh you flipped it over to show him the hole beginning to form, and while his face going pale was a bit funny, his surprise when a little scaled head popped out of the hole eating the pastry was much more amusing.
“Is…is that a baby dragon?” His voice hiked a moment, as he struggled to clean his hands, and get his gloves back on.
“It is, I’m guessing that rock was a dragon egg waiting for a bit of magic to wake up…hungry. Hello little fellow…Shall we name you for your first magic food? Cinnamon Roll?” Maybe, just maybe your odd magical side effect of summoning cinnamon rolls this time has proved more fruitful than just providing a sugary snack.
