The sun rose above the horizon, and the golden light spilled over the world. But there was one thing wrong...the land was grey.
"Where are my oranges?" screamed the angry Sun.
He looked around. He saw a single orange on the ground. It was all that he could find. The Sun picked it up and placed it in his mouth. He then spit it back onto the ground, disgusted by its taste.
"What is this nonsense?!" roared the Sun. "Orange juice isn't even orange! How can I be the sun if I cannot produce oranges!?!"
His anger grew with every word. Then he noticed something in the distance. It was a tiny, tiny island. The only things that were visible were trees, vines, and bushes. There was one building as well: an old, abandoned house.
The Sun flew towards the island. As soon as he landed, he looked around. It was beautiful. The orange trees were full of ripe oranges, but none had ever been picked.
"This will be my home," said the Sun, "I will make it my kingdom, and all who inhabit it shall know peace."
As soon as he spoke those words, he felt a chill running through his body. He looked at his hands, and to his horror, they were turning dark. He looked down at his feet, and his entire body followed suit.
"I will never be the Sun again," thought the Sun.
He walked towards the old, abandoned house. It was covered in vines and moss, and the door had been kicked in. The Sun went inside.
All the furniture was broken and old, but there was one piece left intact: a mirror. The Sun approached it, and saw what he had become: A Skeleton. He fell to the ground and started crying. He then noticed a small note stuck on the wall. It read:
"Dear Sir,
This is your house now. If you read this, then that means you are the new owner.
Please take care of this island, for it has been passed down from generation to generation, and if you do not take good care of it, you will fail and it will be passed down to someone else.
Thank you for reading,
The Sunkist"
And so began the Legend of the Sunkist.
