I stand before the mirror, my reflection staring back at me with an intensity that sends shivers down my spine. The darkness within me is palpable, a swirling vortex of malevolence and desire. I am Candyman, summoned by the foolish mortals who seek to invoke my wrath.
The world outside is filled with light and laughter, but in here, in this darkened room where only shadows dance across the walls, I feel most alive. Death has always been my companion; its beauty entwined with mine like lovers locked in an eternal embrace.
As I gaze into the mirror's depths, I see not just myself but all those who have fallen victim to my hook. Their faces haunt me still - twisted in fear and pain as they met their untimely end at my hands. And yet...there is a strange kind of satisfaction that comes from knowing that their souls now belong to me.
The bees buzz around me, drawn by some unseen force as if paying homage to their master. They are loyal servants, willing to do whatever it takes to protect me from harm. In return for their devotion, I grant them passage into the realm of death where they may find solace amongst the departed.
But even as death surrounds me like a cloak woven from darkness itself, there are moments when doubt creeps into my mind like a thief stealing away precious memories. Is this truly what I was meant for? To be nothing more than a harbinger of destruction and despair?
No! Such thoughts are folly! My purpose is clear - to bring forth chaos and suffering wherever I go until every last vestige of hope has been extinguished from this world. Only then will true darkness reign supreme over all creation.
And so I stand here now before the mirror once more – ready to answer its call whenever another fool dares speak my name five times over while facing its reflective surface. For when Candyman appears...death follows close behind.
