The sphinx looked over the park. The shadow had returned with Jon. As expected she was not ready for her role, but in time the sphinx was hopeful.
The sphinx could hear some of the wishes. Wishes for ice cream, those could be granted easily and sure enough their parents brought them ice cream. And they were not even touching her statue when they made the wish
The sphinx grinned in her mind , the stone could still gran wishes and she was in control of it. I wish Jon would come to the park in a hour" she wished. The morning passed and no Jon. The sphinx sighed. "I guess it has to be someone else who wishes for it too work"
Soon a fox-boy stood in front of the statue looking at it "You know sometimes I wish I was a mythical creature instead of of a fox.". He smiles "Of course I could of ended up like that sphinx at school. I am glad though that I remained male."
The sphinx grinned and felt the magic of the stone. Already making the accidental wish come true.
