Faerie Cookie 1 |
O, almighty Silver
Watch over us from above |
|
|
And protect the peace
and balance of this world of chaos |
Faerie Cookie 2 |
Faerie Cookie 3 |
O, sheltering Light
Shine upon us |
|
|
As your silver buds bloom
sealing the Great Shadow in the deepest depths |
Faerie Cookie 4 |
Elder Faerie Cookie |
Are you aware of where your power comes for,
and how it is being used... |
|
... Pure Vanilla Cookie? | ||
|
... What are you saying... |
Pure Vanilla Cookie |
Elder Faerie Cookie |
The power of virtue, purified by the Witches themselves...
The Soul Jam that you harness. |
|
You are not the first to wield that power.
The same goes for the other Ancient Heroes. | ||
|
... What....?! |
Pure Vanilla Cookie |
GingerBrave |
The Ancient Heroes... |
|
|
... are not the true owners... |
Strawberry Cookie |
Wizard Cookie |
... of their Soul Jam?! |
|
|
Well then... Who is?! |
GingerBrave |
Elder Faerie Cookie |
The story begins when
this very Silver Tree was only a small sapling... ... When the world of Desserts was at its infancy. |
|
The Witches baked five Cookies to help them
in their creation of the world. | ||
Elder Faerie Cookie
|
"... harness the radiance bestowed upon you
for the betterment of this world..." | |
And the five Cookies imbued with absolute powers
walked Earthbread as almighty envoys of the Great Creators. | ||
Knowledge, Volition, Happiness, Change, and Solidarity. | ||
The Dessert World bound by these
Five virtues was nothing short of paradise. | ||
GingerBrave |
So those five Cookies were the original owners of the Soul Jam? | |
|
Huh... Those "Five Virtues" are different
from those of the Soul Jams... |
Wizard Cookie |
Elder Faerie Cookie
|
Alas... The perfect age was short-lived. | |
Absolute power begets nothing but arrogance.
It inevitably corrupts its wielder, bringing them to the most tragic of ends... | ||
A fate even the Witches were unable to foresee. | ||
Elder Faerie Cookie
|
One by one, the Five, once regarded as saviors
of the Cookie World, gradually turned to Darkness. | |
And thus, the Five Virtues, too, became distorted, twisted... | ||
Reduced to Deceit, Apathy, Sloth, Destruction, and Silence. | ||
Strawberry Cookie |
Deceit, Apathy, Sloth, Destruction, and Silence...
That sounds really scary... |
|
Elder Faerie Cookie
|
Now known as the Five Beasts,
The apostles of evil began their dark crusade... | |
... And forth they brought great destruction and suffering. | ||
Elder Faerie Cookie
|
The Witches could not bear to see what fate
had befallen their creations. They punished the Beasts by sealing them away deep within this land. | |
And planted the seed of the Silver Tree to ensure
their evil power never sees the light of day again. | ||
From then on, this land where the Beasts were put to sleep,
was called Beast-Yeast. | ||
The Witches then gathered the last vestiges of power
bestowed upon the Beasts, untouched by their corruption, They further cleansed, purified it, and in the end... | ||
Elder Faerie Cookie
|
... Soul Jam was created. | |
The purest Soul Jam was mean to be earned by Cookies
who had proven themselves worthy. | ||
Elder Faerie Cookie |
One of them is the Light of Truth that you received at
the end of your long, arduous journey down the Pilgrim's Path. |
|
Before, both Truth and Deceit existed within the Light of Knowledge.
Cleansing and purifying it created the Soul Jam that you wield today. | ||
|
This means... the power of Deceit is now... |
Pure Vanilla Cookie |
Elder Faerie Cookie |
Yes. It remains sealed somewhere in Beast-Yeast. |
|
And yet, your Light of Truth serves another purpose... | ||
Elder Faerie Cookie |
... which is to balance the scales of good and evil...
To ensure the Beasts stay confined. |
|
|
The tree has five main branches.
Seems like they represent the Soul Jam of each Ancient Hero! |
Wizard Cookie |
GingerBrave |
They're so shiny! |
|
|
But one of them looks... dimmer than the others. |
Strawberry Cookie |
Elder Faerie Cookie |
One by one, four of the Soul Jams regained their strength... |
|
... But, for a long time, all of these branches were close to wilting. | ||
|
After the Dark Flour War, when all the Soul Jams have been
shattered into pieces and scattered all across the world... |
Pure Vanilla Cookie |
Elder Faerie Cookie |
During that long period of imbalance...
The five Beasts saw it as an opportunity to regain their strength. |
|
|
...!!! |
Pure Vanilla Cookie |
Wizard Cookie |
They recovered in such a short time?! |
|
|
As the Guardian, I channeled all my power to keep the seal intact. |
Elder Faerie Cookie |
But my strength alone was not enough...
And the Beasts have already grown much too strong. |
Elder Faerie Cookie | |
Now this great evil lies hidden somewhere
in Beast-Yeast, ready to strike at any moment... | ||
Pure Vanilla Cookie |
Is there a way to prevent the Beasts from escaping? |
|
|
Our last hope is... |
Elder Faerie Cookie |
Elder Faerie Cookie |
... to bring back the fifth Ancient Hero, White Lily Cookie,
and her Light of Freedom. |
|
If we are able to do so...
We just might be able to repress the evil forces sealed here in Beast-Yeast. | ||
|
......!
Is that really... possible? |
Pure Vanilla Cookie |
Elder Faerie Cookie |
Although the Light of Freedom may be scattered across Beast-Yeast,
White Lily Cookie's branch on the Silver Tree still shines brightly as ever. Not all may be lost. |
|
Elder Faerie Cookie |
Perhaps there is still a way to gather the Light of Freedom
and restore it to its full glory, but... | |
As for now... | ||
|
...! So we can revive White Lily Cookie by
gathering all the shards of the Light of Freedom? |
Pure Vanilla Cookie |
I can hear it...!
The voice of the Light of Freedom speaks to me...! |
Pure Vanilla Cookie | |
GingerBrave |
Really?! |
|
|
Is that... really true...?! |
Elder Faerie Cookie |
Then there is still hope for us still...! | ||
There is no time to waste.
The Beasts may yet escape and bring the Great Calamity upon us. |
Elder Faerie Cookie | |
And Dark Enchantress Cookie,
whom you have been chasing endlessly... will not let such an opportunity pass. |
Elder Faerie Cookie | |
Pure Vanilla Cookie. | ||
You must gather the shards... | ||
White Lily Cookie's Light of Freedom...
The last hope Dark Enchantress Cookie has yet to corrupt. |
