“ This place... feels different! Is this what the Vanilla Kingdom was like? „
After passing the Brown Sugar Guardian Golem's trials and tests, 
GingerBrave and friends arrive at the Hero's Gate to continue seeking a way to reach the Vanilla Kingdom. While clearing more tests and trials, they learn more about the Kingdom's history, 
ruler, and downfall while meeting with some familiar faces both 
friendly and 
unfriendly.
| 01. Road to the Gate | ||
|---|---|---|
 Strawberry Cookie |
This place... feels different! Is this what the Vanilla Kingdom was like? |
|
|
|
Let's hurry and let them know about their king's return! |  Custard Cookie III |
 Chili Pepper Cookie |
Mhe he, that kingdom better be rich. I'm gonna fill my bags tonight! |
|
|
|
I hope that'll be enough to get me that new DLC... | Strawberry Cookie |
 GingerBrave |
I wonder what awaits us at the opposite end! |
|
 Strawberry Cookie |
This cavern... is too dark. | |
|
|
Try not to crumble, everyone! |  GingerBrave |
 GingerBrave |
Something is written on the wall! Wizard Cookie, can you take a look? |
|
|
|
Well, let me see... These carvings are so small I can't see them clearly... |
 Wizard Cookie |
| "You are being watched." |  Wizard Cookie | |
 Custard Cookie III |
Huh...? But we're the only ones here! |
|
| Just an old stupid carving! I'm sure there's nothing to worry about! |
 Chili Pepper Cookie | |
| 02. Tapestry 1 | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
 Custard Cookie III |
What a splendid rug on the wall! | |
|
|
This is not a rug, it's a tapestry! | Wizard Cookie |
| What a remarkable level of craftsmanship! Tapestries like these usually depict mythological themes or historical events. | ||
 Strawberry Cookie |
It's covered in sand... All this sand reminds me of the Pilgrim Village. |
|
|
|
What a beautiful scenery! | Custard Cookie III |
| 03. Scavengers Begone! | ||
|---|---|---|
| Bwa ha ha! Treasures! Treasures everywhere! |
 Ginkgoblin Marauder | |
| Take them all! | ||
 GingerBrave |
And what are you doing? |
|
|
|
GAH! We've been found! | Ginkgoblin Marauder |
 GingerBrave |
Look! That must be the scavenger camp! |
|
|
|
Mhe he he! They must be keepin' their valuables there! Looks like I'm in for a treat! |
Chili Pepper Cookie |
 Wizard Cookie |
It's not the time to think about enrichment! We must stop the marauders from escaping with the relics! |
|
| 04. Tapestry 2 | ||
|---|---|---|
|
| ||
 GingerBrave |
Another tapestry! | |
|
|
Huh... These Cookies are fightin' some dragon! |  Chili Pepper Cookie |
 GingerBrave |
Don't they look just like us? Fighting their foes all together! |
|
|
|
Well... I do see the similarities! Fortunately, we haven't encountered a dragon yet! |
Wizard Cookie |
| 05. Tapestry 3 | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
Strawberry Cookie |
And this is... | |
|
|
That's right! Up until now, we have been learning about the Vanilla Kingdom's history! |
 Wizard Cookie |
| What's portrayed on the tapestries is the story of the kingdom's founding! | ||
GingerBrave |
And that must be the founder Cookie! |
|
GingerBrave |
I wonder who that was... And where this Cookie is now! I'd love to meet them... | |
 GingerBrave |
More carvings! Wizard Cookie, take a look! |
|
|
|
Me again? Alright... | Wizard Cookie |
| "One who is not worthy shall not pass." | ||
 Strawberry Cookie |
I wonder what that means... |
|
|
|
They must be waiting for the last Vanilla heir—me! Forward, my friends! |
 Custard Cookie III |
| 06. The Hero's Statue | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
 White Lily Cookie |
Oh... It's you. | |
|
|
White Lily Cookie! What are you doing here? | GingerBrave |
Wizard Cookie |
Looks like she's praying... |
|
|
|
No, no... This is my dear friend. |
White Lily Cookie |
Custard Cookie III |
This statue is your friend? Who is it? |
|
|
|
My old friend and founder of the Vanilla Kingdom... | White Lily Cookie |
| Pure Vanilla Cookie. | ||
Custard Cookie III |
GAH! How could I...! Please forgive me! |
|
|
|
I miss him... When I think of Pure Vanilla Cookie's face I feel... sad. |
White Lily Cookie |
| The last thing I remember... is him, trying to protect me. | ||
| What could have happened? I want to remember... | ||
GingerBrave |
Come with us to the Vanilla Kingdom! |
|
|
|
There is something I'd like to tell Pure Vanilla Cookie. I'll follow you afterwards. |
 White Lily Cookie |
| 07. Into the Deep | ||
|---|---|---|
Chili Pepper Cookie |
Hmpf! It's gettin' darker! | |
|
|
Hey! Would you try not to step on my robes, please? |
 Wizard Cookie |
 GingerBrave |
We could use a torch! Let's light a fire! |
|
| 08. Licorice Interference... Again | ||
|---|---|---|
 Bat-Cat |
We've been expecting you! | |
|
|
You again, Old Rags? |  GingerBrave |
 Licorice Cookie |
I order you to stop calling me that! |
|
|
|
Looks like you haven't left a single trial for us to pass... How's that for thoughtfulness! |
Bat-Cat |
| Meow! We've been following you from the Pilgrrrim's Village! | ||
| Cleared the way for us! LOSERS! Gha ha ha! |
 Choco Werehound Brute | |
| We deal with them here, we go to the Kingdom! |  Choco Werehound Brute | |
 Licorice Cookie |
Heh, I couldn't have said it better myself! |
|
|
|
You won't win this time, you... FLOUR FLATS! MEOW! |  Bat-Cat |
 Licorice Cookie |
But... No matter, ATTACK! |
|
| 09. The Lost Vanilla Kingdom | ||
|---|---|---|
GingerBrave |
Phew! Looks like we've made it! | |
GingerBrave |
The gates of the Vanilla Kingdom! | |
|
|
Ah, can't wait! I'm going in first! | Custard Cookie III |
 Pilgrim Village Elder |
Ho ho ho! Looks like we underestimated you! |
|
| However... I come with bad news. | ||
| The Vanilla Kingdom you are seeking was... It... disappeared during the Dark Flour War. | ||
|
|
Disappeared?! |  Cookies |
GingerBrave |
Dark Flour War?! | |
|
|
The war, started by Dark Enchantress Cookie and her armies... They would burn Cookies into black ashes... The "dark flour". |
Pilgrim Village Elder |
| To end the destruction, Pure Vanilla Cookie managed to banish Dark Enchantress Cookie... But at a great cost! | ||
| Then the whole Vanilla Kingdom just... vanished! | ||
| Many tried to solve the mystery of the vanished kingdom... But don't you see?! This would only bring the return of our greatest foe upon us! | ||
| That is why I devised these "trials"... They were supposed to stop the foolish from reaching the Vanilla Kingdom! | ||
GingerBrave |
Yet we passed your trials! |
|
Pilgrim Village Elder |
Yes, yes... Well done! As for this lot... |
|
| ||
Pilgrim Village Elder |
I've been keeping an eye on you... cheaters! | |
| You are disqualified from the trials! Forever! | ||
|
|
Just you wait, old Cookie! This is not the end! | Licorice Cookie |
| We will have our revenge! |  Licorice Cookie | |
Pilgrim Village Elder |
Phew... Not very civilized! | |
| The Cake Monsters have been acting strange lately... | ||
| I believe they are seeking the Vanilla Kingdom in order to resurrect Dark Enchantress Cookie! | ||
|
|
What can we do to stop them? | GingerBrave |
Pilgrim Village Elder |
Undoubtedly, they will turn to the Pomegranate Village. You must follow them and find out what is going on there! |
