Once upon a time, a girl named Dahlia went for a walk.

A bald eagle soars above her.

Dahlia froze, her eyes traveling along with the majestic creature.

Her hesitation was brief; she turned to follow the eagle as it flew away.

The Eagle senses that it's being followed.

The eagle turns around and stares Dahlia in the eyes.

Immediately recognizing Dahlia, the eagle used the morning breeze to slowly drift toward the ground, turning back into a decrepit old wizard as he landed.

He looked her in the eyes and boomed with his deep, mystical wizard voice, "I want to buy some magic cupcakes."

"My cupcakes are too strong for you, traveler."

"Am I nothing more than a traveler to you now?" asked the wizard.

Dahlia, shivering, replied, "Of course not, dearest companion!"

"Good." the wizard said, in a tone which appeared jovial but hid a secret malice, "Now let us get down to business. I want - no, I need those cupcakes, and I will be buying them. If you are co-operative, I am willing to compensate you, of course."

"Well, it would take more than cash to buy these cupcakes." Dahlia replied, with a little fear in her voice of what this wizard might bring as payment.

"Like what?"

With tears streaming down her face, Dahlia replied, “I need a very expensive and extremely hard to find medicine to cure my ailing grandmother”.

The wizard announced, "I know just where to find this!"

“It needs to be soon, the doctor said she’s running our of time.”

The wizard commanded, "Where to find, I know, follow me!"

Just then, inexplicably, Dahlia was turned into an angel, with wings capable of flight.
