Learning about the loss

The wish that cannot come true.

Nothing happened after he wished to the stone. He blinked and tried again and still nothing. He asked the stone and the answer was something he never expected. His sister was erased from the face of the earth along with millions of people due to the wish of Mary. The reason was her shoplifting which made her a thief and now she is gone. No one in the world even knew that there was ever a person existed.

Adam immediately wished her to be brought alive and stone answered that anyone who died due to the result of a wish cannot be brought back to life immediately. He sat down and cried for her sister and then it striked him. He hurriedly asked the stone, what did it mean by immediately? The stone answered that to undo a **** made by a wish it had to wait for 1 complete planetary cycle around its star (1 year) and only then it can be possible. He breathed in relief hearing this. He was happy for this possibility. All he had to do was wait for a year.

He forcefully pushed his thoughts about his sister to the back of his head. When she is brought back she can have anything she want and be anything she wished. He will make sure of it.

He asked for food and ate in silence. Talking to the stone was not going good and awkward. It needed a name and asked what he should call it? For the stone, the concept of a name is not something that was important but along with a voice, a small conscious was created for the stone and though it is very limited it is still there. It knew what a name is and asked Adam to give 1 for it. He thought a lot and 1 name struck when he looked at the stone.

From now on I will call you Scarlet. And I want you to be a little more outspoken l and talkative with me. If there is ever a possibility of danger I want you to warn me. This time the ring felt a little hotter than usual and after a few seconds it spoke.

#From now on the stone will be referred by its name or she or her instead of 'IT'#

Scarlet replied in a pleasant voice. Thank you stonekeeper for giving me a name. I like it. Adam didn't know how a stone can like anything but let it go.
