This story is a part of Silvia Hartman’s Project Sanctuary Masters course assignment of stepping in and changing the “Evil Wish story”.
In the history of humankind, there are stories that strengthen the old “evil wish warning” idea that wishing is wrong, evil, or brings a curse. One such story is about King Midas who wished for a gift from the God Dionysus that whatever he touched should turn into gold. That proved disastrous.
*****
To explore the truth behind the ancient story of Kind Midas I had to meet the original characters.
In my Sanctuary I invited Dionysus to ask him about the story, and this is what he said:
(Y): Is the story true?
(D): Yes, this story took place many ages back however it happened slightly differently.
You see, despite being a “God” I am not allowed to interfere with the laws of the physical plane so I could not grant the wish King asked for in its exact form yet I could not refuse it.
