Legend of the Red Dragon/Story
On the day the world is engulfed in a sea of fire, a dragon that will plunge the world into chaos shall awaken.

The Legend of the Red Dragon Story is an Adventure Story introduced in the Legend of the Red Dragon update (v4.5) alongside its respective Special Episode. Segments of the Story are unlocked through progression in the game mode.

The Legend of the Red Dragon tells of Head Icon Hollyberry Cookie, Head Icon Pitaya Dragon Cookie, Head Icon Wildberry Cookie, and the friends they made along the way's journey to defeat the phony Red Dragon terrorizing Dragon City.

Story[]

01. Legend of the Dragonsworn
There is a legend of times when the world was yet nascent.
The legend of the ancient Red Dragon who lies dormant in the land of scorching flames and boiling lava.
The land that the Cookies now call... The Dragon's Valley.
(Image of a violent volcano and a white flower.)
Over the ages, many adventurers and monster hunters ventured into the Valley.
Yet, not a single one returned...
Until a young Cookie came, delicate like a white flower.
Other Cookies pleaded with her not to go, but she only answered with a smile.
Eventually, her traces were lost somewhere amidst the eternals flames...
The Cookie left a single uttering before her departure:
"It's for the Cookies' good."
The young white flower braved the fire and brimstone, all the way to the Valley's tallest volcano.
She climbed and climbed, until her feet charred black and there was no more air but a thick veil of smoke.
At last, in the crater of the volcano, she found what she was looking for. The legendary Red Dragon.

O' Mighty Dragon, I have but one wish...
Grant me the source of Life, guarded by the Dragonkind.
Teach me Dragontongue...!
And I shall create a Cookie, perfect in their sweetness.
Uncrumbling, unafraid of sogging.
HA HA HA HA HA!
Foolisssh creature!
The dragon's thunderous laughter rolled across the entire Valley.
To covet the Sssacred Tongue...
The arrogance of your lowly kind knowsss no boundsss!
Greenish Red Dragon
The power of the Dragonsss is ssso immeasssureably greater than you, puny creature!
What can you posssibly achieve with it?!

Cookie with a White Flower
Legendary Dragon, I might be small and sorry in your eyes, but even the tiniest of creatures sometimes harbor the greatest ambition.
Indeed, the Cookies are small in size and prone to crumbling, but once you hear what they are capable of...
You will change your mind.
Isss that ssso?
Greenish Red Dragon

Cookie with a White Flower
Yes, Mighty Dragon.
Then ssswear. On your life.
Greenish Red Dragon

Cookie with a White Flower
I swear, Mighty Dragon.
But in return, you must promise me.
If you find my story of the great Cookie Heroes entertaining...
Promise, that you will allow me a single uttering in Dragontongue.
HA HA HA! Crafty little thing.
You have my promissse.
Greenish Red Dragon

Cookie with a White Flower
Take an oath in Dragontongue.
So that even you cannot break it.
......!
Greenish Red Dragon
... Too sssmart for your sssmall sssize!
Well then, give you my promise I ssshall!
A Word in exchange for a ssstory...
Entertain me, and you will live.
TILTHEND

Cookie with a White Flower
My first story begins in a lush jungle,
where countless berries of all kinds grow.
You will hear about the Hero of Passion,
Hollyberry Cookie...
02. Chasing Rumors

Alright!
Dragon scale armor, check... Dragon claw crossbow, check...
Some berry juice... Lots of it! Check, and check!
Looks like I'm ready for my journey!

Hollyberry Cookie
According to the innkeeper, the legendary Red Dragon has returned to the Dragon's Valley, huh...
Hmm...
There is only one "legendary Red Dragon" that I know...
But... burning villages is not their style...
Well, there's no point in this game of guesses!
I must find them and learn what's going on.

Hollyberry Cookie
Time to hit the road!

Where to, Queen Mother?
You...!
How long have you been following me?!

Hollyberry Cookie

Wildberry Cookie
All the way from the palace, naturally.
Your Majesty, I see armor, weapons, supplies...
May I ask where you are heading?
Um... You see...
I had a craving for a glass of a very special berry juice from a remote local brewery...

Hollyberry Cookie

Wildberry Cookie
... With all due respect, Your Majesty, you're a bit too heavily armed for such a harmless trip.
Oh well, you know! These berry jungles are teeming
with all sorts of wild beasts!

Hollyberry Cookie

Wildberry Cookie
Your dragon claw crossbow and scale armor
are not for wild beasts.
Those are dragon-hunting tools.
Ah, those...! Ha ha! You got me there!
Your eyes are as sharp as ever, my friend!

Hollyberry Cookie

Wildberry Cookie
Are you searching for the Greenish Red Dragon?
Well... I may or may not be!

Hollyberry Cookie

Wildberry Cookie
What are you saying, Your Majesty?


Enough questions!
Are you saying I can't act on my own now?!

Hollyberry Cookie

Wildberry Cookie
I cannot allow you to go alone.
I'm going with you, Your Majesty.
Since when are you so worried about me?

Hollyberry Cookie

Wildberry Cookie
I merely assumed that Your Majesty might find my company useful.
Wait... It was Jungleberry Cookie's idea, wasn't it?!

Hollyberry Cookie

Wildberry Cookie
...

Wildberry Cookie
... Correct, Your Majesty.
Well then! What can I do!
The more the merrier!

Hollyberry Cookie
But, you're right, Wildberry Cookie!
I'm heading to the Dragon's Valley in search of the legendary Red Dragon!

Hollyberry Cookie
If that overgrown lizard is behind the recent attacks,
I must put an end to it!

Wildberry Cookie
Your Majesty!
There're(sic) more of them coming your way!
Monsters from the Berry Forest?
They're nothing we can't handle!

Hollyberry Cookie
Wildberry Cookie, time to show your fabled skills!

Hollyberry Cookie

Wildberry Cookie
On it, Your Majesty!
(After the battle:)

Wildberry Cookie
Those are some fierce beasts!
What, tired already, Wildberry Cookie?!

Hollyberry Cookie

Wildberry Cookie
No, Your Majesty.
It's just...
Yes, I sense it too.

Hollyberry Cookie
These beasts...
They are scared, and fighting for their lives!

Hollyberry Cookie
Whatever is brewing in the Dragon's Valley...
is affecting this jungle as well!

Wildberry Cookie
What will you do when you find the Greenish Red Dragon?
Are you truly seeking to propose an alliance?
As you mentioned back in the Crème Republic?
Too many questions for just one day!

Hollyberry Cookie
You see, I haven't made up my mind. Not quite yet.
On one hand, the dragon's power will help us greatly in our war with Dark Enchantress Cookie.

Hollyberry Cookie
But on the other...
Can we really trust the very creatures who have been terrorizing Cookies for as long as I can remember...?
Still, my first task is to find them!
And then, well, we'll see how our... negotiation goes.

Hollyberry Cookie
03. Stories in the Berry Forest

This is where Princess Cookie met Knight Cookie for the first time!
Do you mean when they returned to the Kingdom, your Majesty?


Hollyberry Cookie
That's right, the sight of those two youngsters coming back from fighting jungle monsters made me so proud...
... Your Majesty, monsters are gathering around us.

Wildberry Cookie

Hollyberry Cookie
Ha ha! Speak of monsters...!
(After the battle:)

Hollyberry Cookie
That's what I get for worrying about some
crumble-ready looking Cookies!
I defeated almost all the monsters for them while they
insisted I was just a disturbance! Even asked if I was hurt, hah!
Such confident, interesting Cookies!
It is no wonder, since all Cookies in this Kingdom want to be just like you, Your Majesty.

Wildberry Cookie

Hollyberry Cookie
Ha ha ha ha!
They had no idea who I was, I tell you!
04. Traces of the Dragon
Fallen Adventurers
Help...! HELP!
G-Greenish Red... Dragon...

...!
Did you say "Greenish Red Dragon?!"
That slithering lizard is here... in the Berry Forest...?
Hey, listen to me!
Do you remember where you saw the dragon?
Or where it went?!
Looks like they passed out.


Hollyberry Cookie
... That beast must be somewhere nearby!
Let's go!
(After arriving at a ruined part of the jungle:)

Wildberry Cookie
Your Majesty, something has crushed the berry bushes!
Yes, and those deep scars on the ground.
Those are dragon claw marks!

Hollyberry Cookie

Wildberry Cookie
Your Majesty, do you think the monster attacked those unfortunate travelers?
I see neither any Cookie armaments scattered around nor any signs of battle.
Besides, nothing was burned or charred here.

Hollyberry Cookie
As if the dragon was alone...
???
Grrr... Grrr...
Damnation...!
...?!

Hollyberry Cookie

Wildberry Cookie
Your Majesty, watch out!
Bah! I recognize this voice!

Hollyberry Cookie
I'll take care of it, Wildberry Cookie.
Looks like we've found what we were looking for...
Grrrrrrr....
GRAAAAH!

Hollyberry Cookie
Well, well, well!
What do we have here?!

Hollyberry Cookie
Who could've known I'd find you so easily!
Now you'll pay for ravaging these lands...!
... YOU LIZARD!
(One fierce boss battle later...)
Greenish Red Dragon
Ghhaaa....

Wildberry Cookie
Huh...
Is this... really over?
Be on your guard!
Dragons are notorious for their treachery!
No doubt It's(sic) one of their dirty tricks!

Hollyberry Cookie
!!!!!!

Hollyberry Cookie
They... they really are defeated!?

Hollyberry Cookie
You there! Pitaya Dragon Cookie!
Get up and fight! GET UP! What is wrong with you?!
05. The Encounter

Khhhh....

Pitaya Dragon Cookie
GAH! WHAT HASSS HAPPENED?!
WHERE AM I?!
Quiet!
How dare you yell at Her Majesty Hollyberry Cookie of the Hollyberry Kingdom?!


You! Finally came to your senses, have we?!
You... YOU! Hollyberry Cookie...!
YOU BROUGHT ME HERE...?

Pitaya Dragon Cookie
I'LL BURN YOU TO A CRISSSP...!

Wildberry Cookie
I told you to be quiet!
Here, have a sip of this berry juice.
It will help you calm your nerves.
Gulp gulp...

Pitaya Dragon Cookie
...
Gulp gulp gulp!!!

Pitaya Dragon Cookie
KHAAA! TASSSTY!

Hollyberry Cookie
Well of course!
You won't find a finer establishment in all of Berry Forest!
What isss it all about?!
Why did you bring me here?!

Pitaya Dragon Cookie
Didn't have the gutsss to end me, pathetic Cookiesss?
... Aaah, I ssseee.
You, mortalsss, want sssomething from me!

Pitaya Dragon Cookie

Hollyberry Cookie
As a matter of fact, there are a couple things we want!
You could start by "gracing us" with a somewhat believable explanation!
Why would the bane of the Dragon's Valley who used to keep the entire land in terror be found amidst the Berry Forest just like that, all of a sudden?!
...? Who sssaid I kept the land in terror...?

Pitaya Dragon Cookie
Monster Hunter Cookies
... Something has forced the tribes to leave the Valley!
It must be the red dragon from the legends...
... I heard they're looking for volunteers to join a Dragon Hunt in Dragon City...

Pitaya Dragon Cookie
......???
Are you really trying to tell me you're NOT the red dragon every Cookie is talking about? And you want me to believe it?!

Hollyberry Cookie
Surely I can tell two DIFFERENT dragons apart!
Now, you'd better spill the truth, right now!

Hollyberry Cookie

Wildberry Cookie
Your Majesty, this one here is trying to trick you, I just know it!
... You, puny Cookiesss!
I could burn you in but an insstant for that!

Pitaya Dragon Cookie

Wildberry Cookie
Go ahead and take your dragon form all you want!
We'll let you have a taste of defeat once more!
...

Pitaya Dragon Cookie
Hmm...

Pitaya Dragon Cookie
Your blabbering makesss no sssense, Cookiesss...

Pitaya Dragon Cookie
I wasss merely enjoying a brief ressspite sssnacking on local berriesss on my way to the Valley.

Wildberry Cookie
Judging by your condition, you had the wrong kind of berries.
Well! I never thought that a dragon would fall for our berries.
Quite literally! all the way down from the sky! Ha ha!

Hollyberry Cookie

Pitaya Dragon Cookie
Gloat all you want...!
But whoever isss in the Dragon'sss Valley—that'sss not me!

Pitaya Dragon Cookie
Puny little Cookiesss, alwaysss trembling in fear!
For all I know, a toy dragon could have causssed them to lose their mindsss!
Oh no, my friend.
Even the jungle beasts sensed it.

Hollyberry Cookie
There's no mistake.
Adventurers claim they've seen a mighty red dragon rising from the tallest volcano.
And if memory serves right...

Pitaya Dragon Cookie
My nessst...

Hollyberry Cookie
Well now, shall we hear the truth?
...Sssay now, that red dragon...
They look exactly like me?

Pitaya Dragon Cookie

Wildberry Cookie
Your Majesty, shall I make them end this charade?
You... I don't like you...!

Pitaya Dragon Cookie

Wildberry Cookie
The feeling is mutual.
I told you everything I know.

Hollyberry Cookie

Hollyberry Cookie
The red dragon from the legends of old has returned to the Dragon's Valley.
Every Cookie who managed to survive and escape tells that with a thunderous roar, it descends from the skies to burn villages of the Valley's tribes.

Hollyberry Cookie
... And you're trying to say that this dragon is NOT you?
Burning little Cookiesss in their little houssses
is not sssomething I enjoy.

Pitaya Dragon Cookie
And you know it, Hollyberry Cookie.

Hollyberry Cookie
You're right, that I do...
A dragon of sssuch powersss isss rarely born.
It would require tremendousss quantitiesss of Life Energy...

Pitaya Dragon Cookie
And if that... thing wasss indeed... created in my nessst...
They mussst have channeled MY powersss...
But who... Who could have had the audacity...!
Ah...
The Dragonsssworn...

Pitaya Dragon Cookie

Hollyberry Cookie
"The Dragonsworn?!" Who is that?!
......!!

Pitaya Dragon Cookie
Grrr... It'sss... nothing!

Pitaya Dragon Cookie

Pitaya Dragon Cookie
This... impossstor... in my nessst...
Impossible! Without the power of Dragontongue!

Pitaya Dragon Cookie
... That little treacherousss white flower...!
You dared to ussse the oath... againssst me...?!

Pitaya Dragon Cookie
I mussst break the pact... and sssooon...
To return my... powersss!
Hollyberry Cookie with her Light of Passion...
If I make her bring it all the way to the Dragon'sss Valley...
Then perhapsss...

Hollyberry Cookie
What is it you're mumbling about...?
Tell me who "the Dragonsworn" is!
You pathetic Cookiesss...!
It isss beyond your comprehensssion!
Only a wielder of our powersss can...

Pitaya Dragon Cookie

Wildberry Cookie
Your Majesty, shall I make them talk?
You... You asssked what brought me to the Berry Foressst.

Pitaya Dragon Cookie

Wildberry Cookie
...Yes?
I... I may have lost the powersss to assume my dragon form.

Pitaya Dragon Cookie
You have... sssensed that, yesss?
My ssstrength is waning.

Wildberry Cookie
And you are telling this because...?
If you wanted to get... rid of me, you would have done it already, yesss?
Inssstead, you brought me here, gave me thisss... berry juice.

Pitaya Dragon Cookie
Perhapsss... there isss something you want from me after all...
In my turn, I could also... usssse your help.
Ssso...? A truth for a truth.
Now it'sss your turn.
What isss it you wisssh?

Wildberry Cookie
Hmmm...
... A war is coming.
And we, Cookies, need all the help we can get against Dark Enchantress Cookie's forces.

Hollyberry Cookie
Right now, she is mustering her armies in the north, in the land of Beast-Yeast.
Your strength is great!
We need your help, Pitaya Dragon Cookie...
To have a chance to win this war!

Pitaya Dragon Cookie
Hmm...

Pitaya Dragon Cookie
Very well!
My ssstrength is yoursss!
Oh ho...?
Agreed so fast?

Hollyberry Cookie

Pitaya Dragon Cookie
Heh. There isss a caveat.
In return... You mussst help me.

Pitaya Dragon Cookie
For there isss little I can do... in this ssstate!
Firssst, you must venture into the Dragon's Valley... with me
and help me regain my ssstrength!

Pitaya Dragon Cookie
For that, I ssshall help you defeat that... Dark Enchantress Cookie.
... And we are supposed to take your word for it?

Wildberry Cookie

Pitaya Dragon Cookie
Hah! The choice is yoursss!
...

Wildberry Cookie

Hollyberry Cookie
I know who you are, dragon.
After all, we've faced each other on the battlefield many times...

Hollyberry Cookie
Hmm...
And you know it too, Pitaya Dragon Cookie.
You know that I'm more than capable of flattening you with my shield, even in your dragon form!
Double-cross me, and you will regret it.
Bah! Since when was there sssuch a lack of trussst between usss?

Pitaya Dragon Cookie
Ssso much for our battle-tesssted friendship...
After all, I'm jussst a Cookie now, like you.

Hollyberry Cookie
Ha ha, you do bring up a good point!
Then it's settled! From now on, we are allies.
You have my trust, Pitaya Dragon Cookie.
To the Dragon's Valley!
06. Lost Creature

Wait, what's that sound?
Eeeee... Eeee...

???

Hollyberry Cookie
Sounds like there are monsters over there too!
Wildberry Cookie, let's go!
Yes, your Majesty.


Hmph, how troublesssome.
(After the battle:)

Hollyberry Cookie
Oh? You're not quite like the other monsters, I see!
Eee...

Lost Creature

Hollyberry Cookie
Hm, it's not trying to attack us at all...
Did the other monsters come after you? What happened?
Eeeee...

Lost Creature

Wildberry Cookie
Your Majesty!
The monsters are surrounding us again.
Argh! Those beasts...

Hollyberry Cookie
Baby spider, it's awfully dangerous here so stay back!

Hollyberry Cookie
(After the battle:)

Wildberry Cookie
I sense a Cookie nearby.
Ahh! There you are, you little rascal!

EEEE!! Eeeee!

Lost Creature

Monster Shop Merchant
What'cha say? That Cookie saved you?
By my crumbs, thank yo—... it's YOU?
Sir! What a coincidence!
Is this little beast your assistant?

Hollyberry Cookie

Monster Shop Merchant
Oh, this little fella? It's more like my child if anything!
Adopted right from the forest.
A little monster raised by the Monster Shop Merchant himself. Hahaha! Strangely fitting!

Hollyberry Cookie

Monster Shop Merchant
I was just out to collect some ingredients when I lost sight of him!
He's a bit of a scaredy cat, so thank you for finding him!
Speaking of, what are you lot doing out here?
You look like you're off to an adventure!
That's right. We're going on a quest, you could say.
And it's not going to be easy, so we're well prepared!

Hollyberry Cookie

Pitaya Dragon Cookie
Oooi! Cookiesss!
Are you done over there? Let'sss go!
I'll be on my way, then!

Hollyberry Cookie
Eeeeee!!

Relieved Creature

Monster Shop Merchant
He'd like to say thank you, too!
No crumbling until we meet again!
... Let us go, your Majesty.

Wildberry Cookie
07. Arrival at Dragon City

Ah...
The clanking of swords, the smell of freshly tanned leather and boiling Dragonhead Stew...
Oh, the Dragon Egg Monument is just like I remember it...!

Hollyberry Cookie
This is it!
Welcome to Dragon City!
Why do I have to wear all thisss?!
As if my Cookie form wasssn't humiliating enough...!


You don't want to draw unnecessary attention here, Mottled Tropical Cocktail Cookie!
... What did you jussst call me...?!

Pitaya Dragon Cookie

Wildberry Cookie
I figured you'd need a... new name.
My patience isss wearing thin, Cookie...!

Pitaya Dragon Cookie

Hollyberry Cookie
Quiet!
This city was built by dragon hunters and it's filled with knowledge on dragons. Someone might recognize you!
You too, Wildberry Cookie.
Stop provoking them!
Forgive me, Your Majesty.

Wildberry Cookie

Pitaya Dragon Cookie
Built by dragon huntersss, huh...?
Here, in the place of the old dragon power...?
Besidesss...

Pitaya Dragon Cookie
Hmm...

Pitaya Dragon Cookie
INH DAOND
...

Pitaya Dragon Cookie
...Ssso it hasss... no future.

Hollyberry Cookie
Hmm... But Wildberry Cookie is right.
Pitaya Dragon Cookie, you do need a less... conspicuous name.
Let's call you... "Pitaya Cookie" for the time being.
Hmpf!
At leassst it's better than the other name that... clod called me.

Pitaya Dragon Cookie

Hollyberry Cookie
This is the last Cookie settlement on our path to the Dragon's Valley. We will refresh our supplies, have a good rest, and march on in the morning.
But first things first, let's pay a visit to the weaponsmith.
And have a good meal, of course!
... Your Majesty, if you intend to indulge in berry ju...

Wildberry Cookie

Hollyberry Cookie
Of course not, are you out of your mind?!
In Dragon City, it is criminal not to indulge in the LOCAL beverages!

Hollyberry Cookie
Tonight, we are having the infamous DRAGONWING FIREADE!
... But in moderation, right?

Wildberry Cookie
Watchtower Cookie
MONSTERS! MONSTERS APPROACHING THE WALL!

Hollyberry Cookie
...!
Looks like the frenzied creatures have reached the city!
Leave them to me.

Wildberry Cookie

Hollyberry Cookie
We must help protect the city!
Cookies, get to safety!
08. Dragon City Square

Swords, sharpest in the land!
Crossbows, pikes, arrows! Sharp like a dragon fang!

Potions! Get your potions!
Wyvern Tear Tinctures, Troll Toenail Solutions, we carry everything you need!

Food supplies! Provisions!
Just what any adventurer needs to keep their tummy full!
Let's get something to eat!


Excccellent! I'm famissshed.
Thisss Cookie body is getting hungry... too easssily.
... But I don't wanna go...!


But you never know when the dragon will come!
Now be a good kid and let's go!
We must move somewhere safe.
No, I wanna stay here, at home!

Young Adventurer Cookie

Dragon City Cookie
Come on, just ten days?
Let's go in the morning and stay just for ten days, okay?

All the hunters are gathering to talk about the Dragon Hunt tonight. Are you going to join the raid...?
Of course! I can't just stand still when there's a dragon threatening the city!


...
The city borders the Dragon's Valley.
But even so, there is fear in the air...

Hollyberry Cookie
Whoever can escape must do it while they can.

Wildberry Cookie
Your Majesty, but if the dragon from the Valley is not Pitaya Dragon, then...
... Who might it be?
Who knows.
It seems that we won't learn anything until we meet the monster face to face...

Hollyberry Cookie

Pitaya Dragon Cookie
Cookiesss! Have you tried thisss?!
DELICIOUSSS!
GAHH!!! IT... SSSTUCK IN MY... THROAT!
JUICCCE...! BRING JUICCCE!
... What if they're deceiving us?

Wildberry Cookie

Hollyberry Cookie
For now, let's keep an eye on our old friend here...
Excited Passerby Cookies
WHOAH! So cool!
... Huh?
09. Treasure Hunt in Dragon City

You look quite crispy, I must say! Perhaps, you're looking for... a treasure hunt?
Treasssure hunt? Isss thisss sssome Cookie Passstime?



This doesn't concern us.
Huh?! Are you sure..?
You might regret saying no...

Questionable Adventurer Cookie

Ha ha! Let's hear it then!
I like you, shield wielding Cookie! You know what it's all about!

Questionable Adventurer Cookie
After all, just think...
Tons of adventurers travel through this place all the time.
It's said that a legendary adventurer once hid something secret...
right here, in Dragon City.
Something shining, sparkling... splendid, even.

Wildberry Cookie
I see. You're a scam artist.
Huuuh?! No, I think this could be the real thing!

Hollyberry Cookie

Questionable Adventurer Cookie
Of course, it is!
After all, why do you think Ginkgoblins flock to this place?
To find the hidden treasure, of course!
Hm, should we take a stab at this treasure hunt?

Hollyberry Cookie

Questionable Adventurer Cookie
Were you satisfied with the information provided? Then...
Perhaps, could I ask for a small token of appreciation?
HA HA HA! You're an interesting fellow for sure!

Hollyberry Cookie

Hollyberry Cookie
Got'cha!
That's...!

Wildberry Cookie

Hollyberry Cookie
Berry Juice I left here last time I was in Dragon's City!
Ah, there's still some left. And it's aged perfectly, YUM!
It's neither shining nor sparkling...

Pitaya Dragon Cookie

Hollyberry Cookie
It was when I hid it away, silly!
Your Majesty... Surely this juice wasn't the sole reason...

Wildberry Cookie

Hollyberry Cookie
Ha ha ha!
Ya' think I was just going to let those Ginkgoblins steal my juice?

Pitaya Dragon Cookie
Pfft, ssso boring.
11. Gingkoblins!
Bitter Merchant Cookie
As if times weren't hard enough,
now we have to deal with Ginkgoblins as well...
Adventurers visit less and less...
All rooms used to be occupied, and now they're left empty.
To think they'd bother you in times like these...

Don't worry! We'll show them!

Are they ssstrong?
They just might be!

Hollyberry Cookie
Sweet and cute...?! You c-clumpy Cookies have
never been sweet OR cute! Pay the price if you want to pass!


That must be the Ginkgoblins the merchants were talking about.
I thought I sssmelled sssomething foul. It'sss them!

Pitaya Dragon Cookie

Hollyberry Cookie
Let's show them what we're made of!
I-If only Boss was here, y-you Cookies wouldn't stand a chance!

Cowardly Ginkgoblin Mobster
Just you wait...!

Terrified Ginkgoblin Mobster

Hollyberry Cookie
Cookies that say cheesy stuff like that
aren't scary at all, you know!

Pitaya Dragon Cookie
Hmph. Sssuch boring little underlingsss!
Eeek...!
Boss said we wouldn't get beat up here!

Cowardly Ginkgoblin Mobster
Hic... I miss our days on Sugar-Free Road...

Terrified Ginkgoblin Mobster
Is this the end of my days as the Boss...?! I won't accept it!

Ginkgoblin Boss

Hollyberry Cookie
Ha ha.
Even in a situation like this, he's only worried for himself!
The merchants will be able to return to business as usual.

Wildberry Cookie
12. Last Dragon Rider
Excited Passerby Cookies
What's her name?!
Does she bite?! Can I pet her?!

Of course! Our friendly Buttercream Dragon here will never bite such a pretty lady! But I'll advise you to keep your distance, mkay?
Aw, looks like everyone here is mesmerized by your beauty, Buttercream?
Makes the Dragon Rider jealous, heh!
*giggle* There's a handsome Dragon Rider, too?!
Excited Passerby Cookies

???
Ha ha ha!
Dear ladies, my fragile heart is all in your hands!
Now then, how about a glass of fireade?
*giggle*
Excited Passerby Cookies
Say, Royal Margarine Cookie, are you going to join the Dragon Hunt?

Ah, that... Why... Of course!
They surely won't catch a dragon without the skills of a Dragon Rider!
Trust me ladies, I'll take care of that dreadful dragon in no time!
Oho! Our Dragon City is in your debt!
Excited Passerby Cookies

Oh?
Looks like the Clan of the Dragon Riders has not vanished after all!

Hollyberry Cookie
But it has been ages since I've met one of the Dragon Warriors...
Pha ha ha!
You call that creature... a dragon?! Ha ha!
Wyvern?! A "DRAGON?!"

You don't have the right... to call yourssself a "dragon!"

Pitaya Dragon Cookie

Pitaya Dragon Cookie
HARGH...

Eeek!
Surprised Passerby Cookies
Oh! OH!
What got into the Buttercream Dragon all of a sudden...?!

Royal Margarine Cookie
Buttercream, it's not a good time for your little games...!
Seriously, what scared you so much, hm?
Oh, pardon us, dear ladies!
I need a moment with my fearsome dragon here...
... Hm?!


Pitaya Dragon Cookie
Calm down... The beassst got scared, that isss all.
The... "dragon" rider here will take care of it. Heh.
Yes, Wildberry Cookie.
Unless needs must, let us not draw unwanted attention...

Hollyberry Cookie

Wildberry Cookie
... As you wish, Your Majesty.
Weaponsmith, check... Provisions, check...
Shall we head back to the inn?

Hollyberry Cookie
13. Dragonclaw Inn

WELL, WELL, WELL! CRUMBLE ME DOWN!
Is it not Sweet Pinkyberry Cookie I'm seeing?!
Pinky...


Wa ha ha ha ha! You old chum!
IT'S BEEN AGES!
Where on Earthbread have you been?
I've been waiting and waiting!

Innkeeper Cookie
Brought heavies with you, huh?
Those two make you look tiny!
Wa ha ha! Looking to join the Dragon Hunt?

Hollyberry Cookie
Of course! Always looking for some trouble!
But first... Oh, get me some of that Dragonhead Stew and your finest fireade! I've been dreaming about that for ages!
The beast will be tough even for you!
Frankly, the folks here in Dragon City are... scared.

Innkeeper Cookie

Hollyberry Cookie
Yes... I've seen Cookies leaving for safety.
How about you?
Heh! The city will perish without my stew!
Without my fireade!

Innkeeper Cookie
Besides, with my lovely twins here, I'm in trusty hands!
Ha ha ha!
You three must be starving!
The food and drinks will be coming right up!
KIDS! Three stews and three glasses of fireade for my Sweet Pinkyberry Cookie here!

Wildberry Cookie
Sweet... Pinkyberry...
Ha ha ha! Do you like it?
It was my alias... from my monster hunter days!

Hollyberry Cookie
Hm... A name I've not heard in a long time...
Wildberry Cookie, you'll be calling me by this name here!

Wildberry Cookie
... Yes, Your...
Sweet... Pinkyberry Cookie...
Rah! I'm ravenousss!
Bring food! And drinksss!


Three Stews!

Your fireade!
Enjoy!

Twin Cookies

Hollyberry Cookie
Gulp gulp gulp... HAH!
You won't find stuff like this anywhere else in all of Earthbread!
Barkeep! One more for me!
... This ssstew.
Isss there really a dragon'sss head in it?

Pitaya Dragon Cookie

Hollyberry Cookie
Who'd put such precious meat in everyday stew?!
Relax, it's just a name!
*slurp*

Pitaya Dragon Cookie
...!!!
DELICIOUSSS!!!

Pitaya Dragon Cookie
Excited Adventurers
My crumbs...!
Is that... Sweet Pinkyberry Cookie...?!
Huh...?

Pitaya Dragon Cookie
Excited Adventurers
I've heard so many stories...!
It's... It's an honor to meet a dragon hunter of such renown!
Please... just one handshake...!
Ah... Ha ha...!
Of course!

Hollyberry Cookie
Excited Adventurers
Can... can you show me your legendary shield...?!
I'm rather new to adventuring myself... Let me learn from you!
Get a grip on yourself!
We're in the middle of our meal.

Wildberry Cookie
Excited Adventurers
Ah... Ack! I'm sorry...!
I...! I'll leave you to it! So sorry! Bon appetit!
... So sorry.

Pitaya Dragon Cookie
Are you famousss here?!
Well, the monster-hunting community is rather tight!
Besides, I used to stick around all the time back in the day...

Hollyberry Cookie
???
Oh? Are my eyes finally failing me...?
I see my beloved yet long-lost other half!
Huh...?

Hollyberry Cookie

Pitaya Dragon Cookie
Huh...?!
Huh...??!

Wildberry Cookie
14. Innkeeper's Errand

Ah goodness, that's right. Sweet Pinkyberry Cookie!
You and your group look quite capable,
do you think you could do me a favor?
Hm? Sure, what is it?


Innkeeper Cookie
It's been a while since the boys' dad left for an adventure,
and still no news! Hmph, he could be back in the oven for all I know.
But if he does come back, I'm sure he'll return
the same way he left. So sometimes I sweep that path...
But the other day I saw that a tree had fallen onto the road.
... No other Cookies use that path but, I
thought it might be nice if you could remove that tree.
Mom.


We can do that.
Oh, stay put you two! Can't you see your mom is talking!

Innkeeper Cookie

Hollyberry Cookie
Ha ha ha! How could I turn down the Innkeeper's request!

Hollyberry Cookie
Boys, listen to your mom!
We'll take care of this!
That's right, leave it to Sweet Pinkyberry Cookie!

Innkeeper Cookie
Clear up that path and I'll prepare a nice hot
bowl of stew for you all when you get back!

Innkeeper Cookie
Goodness, are you all done? Great work!
The path is free now, Innkeeper!

Hollyberry Cookie

Innkeeper Cookie
Very well. The stew is ready for you all.
Come on, sit down!
Well then, eat up! And don't be scared to ask for more!
15. Royal Margarine Cookie, Again

You are the fabled monster hunter!
Sweet Pinkyberry Cookie, whose strength is only rivaled by her beauty!
At night, your pink visage haunts my dreams, and, at dawn, I wake up with your sweet name on my lips...
Phhhh....

PHA HA HA HA HA HA HA!

Pitaya Dragon Cookie
Pink... visssage?! Sssweet name...?
HA HA HA HA HA HA!

... Quiet, Pitaya Cookie.
So what say you, will you join me for a ride on my cute wy- I mean, dragon!
The blue sky might be a nice break from this stuffy inn.

Royal Margarine Cookie

HA HA HA!!!
Dragon-riding, you say! That might be pretty fun!
!
Holly- I mean, Sweet Pinkyberry Cookie...!!!

Wildberry Cookie

Hollyberry Cookie
You're from the Dragon Riders of the Valley, aren't you?
Hmmm... And this "Dragon Hunt" of yours...
From what I've heard, no one rides dragons anymore and everyone is out taming wyverns to ride instead...

Hollyberry Cookie
Also, Cookies talk that the old speakers of Dragontongue are all but gone, and there haven't been any new ones to take their place...
...!
Ah...!

Royal Margarine Cookie

Pitaya Dragon Cookie
???
Doesss thisss mean there were more Cookiesss who ssspoke Dragontongue?
... "More?"

Wildberry Cookie

Royal Margarine Cookie
Ah, I mean-! Ha ha, you're ever-so knowledgeable!
Just as I recall...
(sic)
Uhm... Sweet Pinkyberry Cookie...?


We are the Dragon Raid, currently assembling forces here in Dragon City. Would you be able to join the upcoming gathering to discuss the matters of the Dragon Hunt?
A mighty monster hunter like you would be an invaluable addition to our team!
Hmmm... A raid on the legendary Red Dragon that was recently spotted in these lands, I presume?

Hollyberry Cookie

Cautious Adventurer Cookie
Yes...That's right.
Wildberry Cookie, this is it!
I get a feeling that this gathering is just what we need!

Hollyberry Cookie
Oh, and um, let's keep that ride on your wyvern for next time, eh?

Hollyberry Cookie

Royal Margarine Cookie
No, that's-... I...
Well, we were wondering if Royal Margarine Cookie could join as well...

Cautious Adventurer Cookie

Wildberry Cookie
Is he needed for your team, too?
Of course!
He's the last remaining Dragon Rider, after all!

Brave Adventurer Cookie
Please join us, Royal Margarine Cookie!

Wildberry Cookie
...
Ugh...
Fine, fine!

Royal Margarine Cookie

Hollyberry Cookie
Come on, Pitaya Cookie!
Wait- WAIT!
Argh, I'm ssstill eating...

Pitaya Dragon Cookie
16. Dragon Hunter Gathering

And that is why the Dragon Hunt is so crucial!
After all, it's the legendary Red Dragon we're talking about here!
And what if the dragon attacks the city while you're on the raid in the Valley?
Dragons can fly, or did you forget about that?!


Eager Adventurer Cookie
What's your point?
Are you trying to say that we can't go and hunt down the dragon because it can fly?
I mean, it's not an invalid point....!
How do you plan to fight a flying target?


Scholarly Adventurer Cookie
And these supposed forces you've gathered for the raid had no training, and are all hunters used to working alone!
...Which is why we are more experienced, and lethal in battle.

???
Are you forgetting the vast amount of information that dragon hunters have provided this city through the years?

???

Skittish Adventurer Cookie
Ah. And now you want us to thank you, is that it?
No, I'm sure that's not what Tarte Tatin Cookie meant!

Eager Adventurer Cookie
Door Opening
Creeeak... SLAM!
......?!!!

Gathered Cookies

Eager Adventurer Cookie
I can't believe it...!!!
...

???

Scholarly Adventurer Cookie
It's... Sweet Pinkyberry Cookie!
Could it be... You're here to join the raid...?

Skittish Adventurer Cookie

Sorry for barging in like that!
Am I late?
You're just on time.

???

Hollyberry Cookie
Huh?! You!
If it isn't Tarte Tatin Cookie!
It has been ages!
Last time I saw you, you were just a baby dragon hunter! My, how you've grown!
I'm a bit too old for such sentiments.


Hollyberry Cookie
Ha ha ha! Is that so?
Anyway, what were you discussing?
17. At the Break of Dawn

Adventurers and volunteers that frequent Dragon City have gathered for a raid on Dragon's Valley.

Tarte Tatin Cookie
As we are assured that the Red Dragon dwells within the Valley at this very moment, we aim to leave as soon as possible...
But we remain divided on whether the gathered forces should focus on the hunt, or on evacuating and protecting the city.
After all, if the Dragon Hunt is unsuccessful... Dragon City will be left defenseless.
Aha... A tough decision, I see.

You there! Royal Margarine Cookie, was it?
What do you think?

Hollyberry Cookie
If you fly above everyone else and stay on the lookout, will the raid not have a higher chance of success?

...!

Royal Margarine Cookie
Ha ha ha...
Well, since you asked!
If it was up to me, I would immediately head home to pack up my things rather than wasting time on these pointless discussions!
B-But...!


Royal Margarine Cookie
Do any of you Cookies realize what creature you're dealing with here?
Have any of you ever even seen a dragon before?
What's smaller than just a single Dragon claw? Cookies!
Who gets blown away by just a gust of a Dragon's breath? Cookies!
Ssso you do know.


But- Royal Margarine Cookie!
Aren't you a Dragon Rider yourself...?
Exactly! Because it's the perfect way to escape as fast as possible.
And what about you all? How do you plan on escaping?

Royal Margarine Cookie

If that is the advice coming from the Dragon Rider himself, then...!
Let's call off the Dragon Hunt and start evacuating as soon as possible!
Ye- Yes...!


Hollyberry Cookie
Hmm.....

Tarte Tatin Cookie
You there...
Why do you think dragon hunters do what they do?
Well, I don't know.
Because dragon scales can be sold for a fortune, surely?

Royal Margarine Cookie

Tarte Tatin Cookie
There's just one reason.
If you don't hunt the dragons...
They will hunt you.
It's because dragons eat Cookies'(sic) with their friends and families, and burn down their houses.
Cookies have been hunted by dragons since the dawn of time.
For Cookies, dragon hunting is a means of survival.
... Long ago, when the Cookies of your tribe first started riding dragons, that too was to ensure their survival.
Although that tradition has now been rendered a meaningless farce.
......!!

Royal Margarine Cookie

Tarte Tatin Cookie
At this very moment, Dragon City must make a decision in order to survive.
As a dragon hunter, the only thing I can say is...
I will fight this threat to a place I hold dear until my body crumbles or burns.
Even if my opponent may be the legendary Red Dragon, many times my size, that is.


Birdsss of a feather...
... Hmph!

Pitaya Dragon Cookie

Hollyberry Cookie
Tarte Tatin Cookie, I will join you.
...!!

Gathered Cookies

Hollyberry Cookie
When you have something to protect, and partners in battle you can trust...

Hollyberry Cookie
... There is no reason to face away from the fight!
I will join you, as well.


Eager Adventurer Cookie
Me- Me too....!
Us too!!! We'll follow you to the end!!!

Adventurer Cookies
Dragon Raid Cookies
US TOO!!!!
We will join you!!!! WUAAH!!!!

Royal Margarine Cookie
.........
Well... Then it is decided.

Tarte Tatin Cookie
When the dawn breaks tomorrow, the Dragon Hunt will commence!

Tarte Tatin Cookie
18. Dragon Hunter Training

Oh? What are you all doing here, it's late!
W-Well... It's just the whole... defeating the red dragon thing...
Dragon Raid Cookies

Ha ha, are you ssscared? That can't be helped!
N-No! We just wanted to suggest getting together to train!
Dragon Raid Cookies

Hollyberry Cookie
Training you say... I LOVE that idea!
Of course I'll join you!
Your Ma- I mean, if Sweet Pinkyberry Cookie is joining, so will I.

Dragon Raid Cookies
REALLY?! Oh, it is such an honor...!!!
Please do join us!!!
Very well! But we won't go easy on you!

Hollyberry Cookie
(After the battle:)
Dragon Raid Cookies
Hah- phew! Such impressive Cookies...
And we get to train with them directly... I feel like we can really do this!
Well done everyone! I'm starting to look forward to the actual battle, ha ha! Let's go eat up before we leave!

Hollyberry Cookie
Dragon Raid Cookies
Yes, Sweet Pinkyberry Cookie! Yaaay!!!
19. The Night Deepens

It has been a while since we've fought side by side. I look forward to it.

Tarte Tatin Cookie
... Hollyberry Cookie.


And I look forward to seeing how much you have learned as well, Tarte Tatin Cookie!

Dragon Raid Cookies
FOR VICTORY!!!
HA HA HA HA!!!
...


Hollyberry Cookie
OI! NO DRINKING ALONE!
Drinking with friends is what makes it tasty!
I think you've had quite enough.

Dragon Raid Cookies
Oi, Wildberry Cookie!
Come here and have a drink with us!
I'm good.

Wildberry Cookie

Hollyberry Cookie
Wildberry Cookie, you really should learn how to unwind, you know.
Always so proper. Try to let loose a little, eh?
...

Wildberry Cookie

Pitaya Dragon Cookie
... Ssso what you ssaid there, back at the gathering.
Yes?

Hollyberry Cookie

Pitaya Dragon Cookie
How there'sss no reason not to fight when you have sssomething to protect and partnersss in battle you can trust...
What isss it you are fighting to protect in your war againssst Dark Enchantresss Cookie?
Our precious friends and family, of course...
We are fighting to protect our world.

Hollyberry Cookie

Pitaya Dragon Cookie
Are those Cookiesss ssso preciousss to you?
Enough to risssk everything?
Why, of course!
I would give away everything to protect them!

Hollyberry Cookie

Pitaya Dragon Cookie
... Even that Sssoul Jam of yoursss?
The source of your Light of Passsion...?
..?!

Hollyberry Cookie

Oooooh! My beloved yet long-lost other half! *hic*
The-There you are!
*hic* Upon my walking hooouur, your sweet name is on my liiips...
Argh...!
You're... completely drunk!

Hollyberry Cookie
Are you sure you won't be snoring when everyone else heads off to Dragon's Valley tomorrow?!

Hollyberry Cookie

Royal Margarine Cookie
...
I'm not going... *hic*
See, I CAN'T go....
Why?!
I thought you were joining the Dragon Hunt?

Hollyberry Cookie

Royal Margarine Cookie
I... I'm not a hero at all...
Never was... And now you know that too... *hic*


Royal Margarine Cookie
Buttercream isn't even a real dragon! *hic*
I'M NOT A DRAGON RIDER! I'M A SHAM!
Seemsss quite sssavvy for wyvern, though...

Pitaya Dragon Cookie

Royal Margarine Cookie
In our clan... when you turn twelve, you must find a wyvern to fight and tame... For days and days... All to become a rider...
I.. The truth is... I ran away...
The sound of wyverns howling in the distance was too scary...
So that'sss when you met Buttercream...

Pitaya Dragon Cookie

Royal Margarine Cookie
... *hic*! How did you...?!
The beassst just told me...

Pitaya Dragon Cookie

Royal Margarine Cookie
You could speak to Buttercream, a wyvern...?
... It can't be...!!!
...!

Hollyberry Cookie

Royal Margarine Cookie
Buttercream, don't tell me...!!!!
You've learned how to speak with Cookies!?
Phew...

Hollyberry Cookie
Anyway, are you saying you can't go to Dragon's Valley because you're scared of dragons?

Hollyberry Cookie

Royal Margarine Cookie
I SWEAR!!!!
I wanted to become a cool Dragon Rider once I got older!

Royal Margarine Cookie
Riding dragons... Saving Cookies...
I wanted to become a hero like that...
But... there's no way a small, insignificant coward like me... can become one...
All Cookiesss are small and insssignificant.
And they crumble ssso easily...
I mean, no wonder dragonsss ssscare you.

Pitaya Dragon Cookie
Neverthelesss...
Sssome of them insssist on fighting tirelesssly.
I find those Cookiesss quite fassscinating.
That'sss who they call... "heroesss."

Royal Margarine Cookie
...

Mister...
Your name was Pitaya Cookie, right...?
It'sss... Pitaya Drag-

Pitaya Dragon Cookie

Hollyberry Cookie
That's right! Our friend PITAYA COOKIE here is quite the talker!
THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING! This Mister Pitaya Cookie is really something! Let's have another drink!
