The burdens that weigh heavily upon my shoulders...

„

Bearing a letter from Pure Vanilla Cookie, GingerBrave and friends travel to the Dark Cacao Kingdom in search of its king, only to be turned away at the Citadel's gates. Dark Cacao Cookie seems to be refusing all visitors—but what exactly is it that keeps the Ancient Hero confined to solitude?

---

01. Ever-closed Gate
Young Cookie from the Mountains	Hello...? Guard! Is anyone in there?
	Open the gates! Please! Let me in!
	Leave at once. The castle's gates open for no one!	Gatekeeper Cookie
Young Cookie from the Mountains	I must meet King Dark Cacao Cookie! Our village... is in danger...
???	What is the meaning of all this? Explain yourself.
	Our village has been starving for days! Things are so desperate, the adults are stealing things! And... wild beasts keep attacking everyone!	Young Cookie from the Mountains
	We need your help! Please, send the Watchers!
???	This is ill news indeed... That is, if you speak the truth.
	We've received word of villages on the outskirts disappearing one by one. But such rumors are easily exaggerated, even distorted.
	I'm not lying! The king must come and see for himself!	Young Cookie from the Mountains
???	His Majesty is occupied elsewhere. If you seek aid, you will not find it here.
	Then at least let me tell the king myself. He might believe me!	Young Cookie from the Mountains
Young Cookie from the Mountains	Hey! STOP! DON'T GO!
	King Dark Cacao Cookie... Have you really... abandoned us...?
Affogato Cookie	My King. Another bothersome petitioner came seeking your presence. I have sent them off, just like the others...
	......	Dark Cacao Cookie
Affogato Cookie	Your Majesty, I believe they find it odd that the castle's gates are locked. There are... voices of dissent as well.
	*Sigh* The burdens that weigh heavily upon my shoulders... There are none who understand...	Dark Cacao Cookie
	We must not falter. It is imperative that our defenses be bolstered, as per the plan...
Affogato Cookie	My Liege...! Your humble servant stands in awe before your wisdom.
Affogato Cookie	With your blessing, I shall oversee the day to day undertakings so that Your Majesty may strengthen our walls without distractions.
	These walls are the only defense between our lands and the Licorice Sea. We must remain vigilant, for those foul beasts may strike at any moment.	Dark Cacao Cookie
	For now, we continue to fortify our defenses and keep a wary eye towards the sea. This entire continent's fate is at stake...

02. Dangers in the Mountains
GingerBrave	There's a village right below the walls of the Dark Cacao Citadel. It's just up ahead! We just need to head there and deliver this letter.
	*ATCHOO!* Let's h-h-h-h-urry on then!	Wizard Cookie
	A fading hope that the castle has some... hot chocolate... it's what's keeping me warm. It's FREEZING out here!
Custard Cookie III	Who said "hot chocolate!" The perfect drink for a king?!
Custard Cookie III	Come now, my faithful subjects! Hand me the letter and I will lead the way! Ahem, he he!
	You kidding?! A small tot like you would get buried under all this snow. Oh well... Guess we'll come pick you up in the summer!	Chili Pepper Cookie
GingerBrave	C'mon! Just a little further! Then we'll all have a good rest next to a cozy fire!
	*Wind howling*	???
Wizard Cookie	Hold on a moment! Did you hear that...?
	It's just the wind, pointy hat!	Chili Pepper Cookie
	*Wind howling* *... SCREEEEEEEEECH!!*	???
Strawberry Cookie	N-n-no, that's not the wind...! More like... a terrifying roar!
	*SCREEEEEEEEEECH...!!*	???
GingerBrave	Haaaah!
	S-s-s-stay back! Get away!	Strawberry Cookie
Cookies	AHHHHHH!
Chili Pepper Cookie	Move! MOVE! MOOOVE! We're all gonna be crumbs!
	Why did nobody warn us about these vicious, scary beasts?! FLEE FOR YOUR LIVES!	Wizard Cookie

03. Milk Village
Cookies	AHHHHHH!
	Wh— Huh? Grandpappy! Look over there!	Young Milk Villager Cookie
Old Milk Villager Cookie	Hrrrrmmm... Put some milk on the fire, lad. We have guests.
	Over here, travelers! This way!
	*Huff puff* Oh wow...! Thanks for letting us in!	GingerBrave
Wizard Cookie	What was that... A local variety of a lion?! Its mane was so... so... SO FIERCE!
	Ah! Ran into one of those beasts, I see? No need to fret anymore, you're safe here.	Old Milk Villager Cookie
	Besides, Cookies should help Cookies, no? It's a shame that our own king will not help us...
	But it's times like these where we of the Milk Village shine, for we are stalwart and strong! Here now, have some warm milk and heat yourselves up!
Custard Cookie III	An excellent offer! Thank you, kind Cookie!
	Wait, what did you mean when you said your own king won't help you?	Wizard Cookie
Old Milk Villager Cookie	Hold on, you're not from the Dark Cacao Kingdom, are you? No wonder you're so lightly dressed for this cold!
	You must be coming from the South? Right?! My dear guests! What is it like?! Is it always warm?! Tell me everything!
	Now, now, Grandpappy! We talked about this!	Young Milk Villager Cookie
Custard Cookie III	First, you must answer our question! What do you mean your king won't help?
	The Watchers once protected us, kept us safe. But ever since they stopped their patrols, wild beasts have been prowling about... approaching closer every day.	Old Milk Villager Cookie
Young Milk Villager Cookie	Our village is still hanging in there. Others have scattered to other lands. Rumors say that entire tribes and clans have become bandits!
	Huh! That's weird! Dark Cacao Cookie isn't helping other Cookies?	GingerBrave
Old Milk Villager Cookie	The king has locked the Citadel gates... As of late, he is fixated on strengthening the Great Wall that defends the kingdom from the Licorice Sea.
	I am not speaking ill of King Dark Cacao Cookie. After all, the kingdom and our tribe have been allies for generations.
	We brought a letter from a friend of Dark Cacao Cookie. I'm sure he'll be happy to read it!	GingerBrave
Young Milk Villager Cookie	But no one is allowed inside the Black Citadel! How are you going to deliver the letter?
	It has been long since I've laid eyes upon the king... The king swore to be our shield, but where has he gone? Are the talks true...? Is THAT king nothing but an echo of the past?	Old Milk Villager Cookie

04. Lost in the snow
Caramel Arrow Cookie	There's a nip in the air... Yet another night spent out in the wilds. At least I've had my fill of Boar Jellies, ha ha!
Caramel Arrow Cookie	A moon has passed since I've departed from the Black Citadel. I hope my Lord, Dark Cacao Cookie, is faring well.
	*Sigh* I pray that the remaining Watchers do not fall victim to indignation...
Caramel Arrow Cookie	... That deceitful snake. I swear to return to the citadel and prove my innocence!
Affogato Cookie	Your Majesty. A little bird has told me that the First Watcher has been shirking her duties and lollygagging at the villages, handing out rations most likely stolen from the citadel's pantries.
	There is no truth to these claims. It was my own rations that I decided to share and my own time I've invested in order to keep our lands safe!	Caramel Arrow Cookie
Affogato Cookie	How impetuous! Are you accusing this humble court of failing to serve our Cookies? Are you implying that His Majesty's aides are selfish, greedy, and conniving?
Gathered Retainers	Noble Caramel Arrow Cookie, stay your tong—
	You have twisted my words and their intent!	Caramel Arrow Cookie
Affogato Cookie	If loitering outside these walls is what you enjoy, why not be repositioned as First Snow Plower? My Liege, I believe it wise that this lackadaisical Cookie before you be banished from our stalwart citadel.
Dark Cacao Cookie	So be it.
	My King?! Please, my King, I am—	Caramel Arrow Cookie
Dark Cacao Cookie	Caramel Arrow Cookie. Heed my words.
	You need not return. Your spirit has always been one with the wilds, akin to the deer roaming the frostridden mountains.
Caramel Arrow Cookie	My... my King... What wisdom was hidden within your words...
	Perhaps I am overthinking. No more tears, Caramel Arrow Cookie! Concentrate, keep busy!
Caramel Arrow Cookie	This is a matter of perspective. There are so many tasks that I can fulfill out here!
	Focus! You can't stop now! I have to carve and fletch twenty arrows a day to ward off the wild beasts and defend against bandits.
Wizard Cookie	AAAAAAAAAHHH! It's back!
Caramel Arrow Cookie	HUH?! Cookies? Are they in danger?
Caramel Arrow Cookie	Are they fending off beasts? HOLD ON! HELP IS ON THE WAY!

05. Snow Lion! Again?!
	*SCREEEEEEEECH!*	Frozen Peak Prowler
Wizard Cookie	AAAAAAAAAHHH! It's back!
	Whose idea was it to come this way?!	Chili Pepper Cookie
GingerBrave	RUN FOR IT!
	STOP, do not run! You must not scatter!	Caramel Arrow Cookie
Chili Pepper Cookie	Wuddya mean "don't run"?! This thing won't back down no matter how hard we try!
	I'm so exhausted... I feel so... cold and sleepy...	Strawberry Cookie
Caramel Arrow Cookie	Listen to me, travelers! Whatever happens, stay awake and focus on the danger at hand!
	To have lasted this long on your own... You've much skill in combat! Now, leave the rest to me!
Caramel Arrow Cookie	The Wraith of the Peaks: a snow lion! A fast, agile, and unyielding beast indeed! But can you dodge THIS?!
	Take this!
Caramel Arrow Cookie	Is everyone safe and in one piece?!
Caramel Arrow Cookie	When I heard your cries for help, I feared I was too late... But all of you are much tougher than you seem!
	May I ask which village the lot of you call home?
	We're from the faraway Cookie Kingdom! You saved our dough back there! And that's a really cool-looking bow!	GingerBrave
Chili Pepper Cookie	Myeah, whuddya look at that fancy bow! Expensive, huh? Lemme take a close look at it!
	Your boots are very intriguing! Are they designed to help you walk in the snow?	Wizard Cookie
Caramel Arrow Cookie	Oh, these old things? Ha ha... I laced the bottoms with cords of straw to help myself hike through the snowy peaks!
Caramel Arrow Cookie	But first, allow me to introduce myself. I am a humble servant of the king, a member of the Watchers. Caramel Arrow Cookie, at your service.
	A pleasure to meet you, Caramel Arrow Cookie. Today, you have saved a king! (He he, that's me!)	Custard Cookie III

06. To the Black Citadel!
Caramel Arrow Cookie	I am relieved to see that all of you are uninjured. Now that the danger has passed, I shall be on my way. Farewell, travelers!
	W-wait! You said you're one of the king's servants, right?	Custard Cookie III
GingerBrave	What luck! We have a message that we need to deliver to Dark Cacao Cookie!
	Can you take us to the castle?
	Ah... Well, the thing is...	Caramel Arrow Cookie
	*Sigh* The truth is, I was banished from the castle. I have fallen victim to false slander and accusations. I... cannot go back.	Caramel Arrow Cookie
Custard Cookie III	Huh...? That's not nice at all! What king would do such a thing?! Certainly not ME!
	Perhaps the rumors are true... Maybe King Dark Cacao Cookie really has changed... For the worst!	Wizard Cookie
Caramel Arrow Cookie	N-n-no, that is far from the truth. The king is, and will always be, an awe-inspiring leader. But that sniveling snake... whispering those poisonous rumors into the king's ear...
	Sounds to me like things are going to be a LITTLE more complicated than we expected!	Wizard Cookie
Caramel Arrow Cookie	Pardon? The old allies of the Dark Cacao Kingdom are rising up once more?
	We've seen the Vanilla and Hollyberry Kingdoms with our own eyes! And this letter must reach King Dark Cacao Cookie. It was written by none other than Pure Vanilla Cookie!	GingerBrave
Wizard Cookie	Earthbread is in danger. Dark Cacao Cookie's support will be of immense help.
	Are you certain...? Hmm... Then there is hope after all!	Caramel Arrow Cookie
Custard Cookie III	That's the spirit! Any king would be proud to have a loyal servant such as yourself!
	Let's go to the castle together and talk with Dark Cacao Cookie himself!	GingerBrave
Caramel Arrow Cookie	Then let us be off! I shall lead you to the king!
	YEAH! Let's go! Time to meet Dark Cacao Cookie!	GingerBrave

07. There's Always a Way
GingerBrave	Whoah! Look at that giant chocolate slab! What is this for?
	This is a monument to honor Watchers who have fallen in the line of duty... These are... were... the names of my comrades in arms.	Caramel Arrow Cookie
	Having your name inscribed here is the greatest honor for Cookies of the Dark Cacao Kingdom. Though I truly miss them... I am honored to have served together!
	Not a speck of dust or grime... It is good to see that this place is still held in high regard, despite our kingdom's situation...
	If you would permit, may I light an incense stick to honor the fallen while we are here?
	My friends, my family... Ever keeping watch upon the Great Wall and mountains... It is I, Caramel Arrow Cookie. Please, aid me in my effort to greet our king once more.
Caramel Arrow Cookie	The gates have been barred shut? But this means no one is able to go in or out!
	Hear me! Is anyone on duty? Open the gates!
	Turn back... Huh? Caramel Arrow Cookie! Why did you come? My friend, you should not be here!	Gatekeeper Cookie
Caramel Arrow Cookie	Though I may be in exile, I go where I wish. These travelers are on a quest of great importance. They must meet the king!
	Honorable Caramel Arrow Cookie, though I wish to help you, I simply— Crumbs!	Gatekeeper Cookie
Affogato Cookie	What is the meaning of this commotion? Who dares to spark trouble at our gates?
	YOU! Lazing about more than usual, I see?! Just how many sweets and delicacies have you engorged yourself on?	Caramel Arrow Cookie
Affogato Cookie	Caramel Arrow Cookie? I do not recall any retractions regarding your banishment... Your presence here is in direct defiance of our king!
	You treacherous...! I would never defy our king! It is your deceitful whispers that have caused me this shame!	Caramel Arrow Cookie
Affogato Cookie	Oh, I quite agree... shameful indeed. Look at you... Though shamed, you still have a sense of loyalty. But tell me, why has the king never summoned you?
	Dishonorable worm! It is all because of those poisonous falsities you spew about! Stand aside! I shall personally ask the king about my so-called crimes!	Caramel Arrow Cookie
GingerBrave	She's right! We have to meet King Dark Cacao Cookie! We need to deliver an important letter for him, and for his eyes only!
	*Scoff* Bringing vagrants to our great citadel as well...	Affogato Cookie
	Our king is preoccupied with a matter of great importance. He cannot be disturbed, nor will I allow such a disturbance! Begone!	Affogato Cookie
Custard Cookie III	What just happened?! That Cookie treated you with so much disrespect!
	My apologies. I have brought shame upon us all.	Caramel Arrow Cookie
GingerBrave	Huh? I'm sure it's not your fault!
	But I have yet to give up! I know of many hidden passages that can take us into the citadel!	Caramel Arrow Cookie
	Follow me. Hold position in front of that entrance. I shall open the door for you from the inside!
GingerBrave	Sounds like a plan! Thanks, Caramel Arrow Cookie!

08. Fortifications and Fortifications
Dark Cacao Cookie	These fortifications were ordered to be bolstered weeks ago, but it is processing at a sugar snail's pace. Quarry more cocoa and bring more syrup! Coat the walls in thick layers of chocolate to reinforce them!
	By your command, my king!	Palace Worker 1
Dark Cacao Cookie	Bring more chocolate bricks and cauldrons for boiling water. Ensure there are enough arrows to hold off a siege! All towers and stations must be supplied!
	Yes, Your Majesty!	Palace Worker 2
Affogato Cookie	Pardon my curiosity, my Liege. We've already a sturdy, fortified wall protecting us. Why must the citadel be bolstered with such fervor?
	Our kingdom's coffers cannot sustain these efforts. May I advise caution, for soon even our citadel's kitchens will have to switch from Rainbow Jellies to... plain Jellies.
	Silence! There will be no meals at all if our kingdom is to fall.	Dark Cacao Cookie
Affogato Cookie	A hundred pardons, Your Majesty. Though I humbly stand by my word, observe: the soldiers are growing weary.
	As are you, my king. My Lord, as King of the Dark Cacao Kingdom, you must pace yourself. Your subjects need your strengh...
	My health matters not at this time. Do not let up! Proceed with the construction!	Dark Cacao Cookie
	There is no room for regret or blame if we are ill-prepared when disaster strikes. All of you, double your efforts!

09. Affogato Cookie's Schemes
Affogato Cookie	The court must be convened. All ministers need to make themselves present at the Hall of Dignity.
	Explain yourself, good Affogato Cookie. What is the meaning of this summons when we should be focusing on our king's commands?	Cube Choco Cookie
Second Watcher	The Watch has little time to spare for such a summons! Say what you will with haste, for I must return to my post!
	I humbly ask for your understanding in this matter. It was not my intent to divert the attention of this court from our duties.	Affogato Cookie
	I approach you because I am concerned with the future of our kingdom. We all know the dire circumstances of our treasury, but perhaps the reason for such concern is due to our king's lapse in judgement?
Second Watcher	What?! You dare utter such treacherous words before us?
	Hmm... Noble Affogato Cookie. Indeed, your statement can be taken as an act of treason.	Cube Choco Cookie
Affogato Cookie	Now now, heed my concerns and think rationally. Our king is obsessed with preparing for a war that will not spark. He is sickeningly fixated on our defenses when there is no need.
	Our soldiers are weary, their cries heard throughout the night. The treasury is depleting by the hour!
	Your words do contain an inkling of truth. Never have the beasts penetrated our defenses. Our forces are as stalwart as ever, almost excessively prepared.	Peanut Butter Choco Cookie
Second Watcher	There is no such thing as too much preparation! Our lands, bordering the Licorice Sea, cannot be sufficiently defended even with all of our forces.
	With the banishment of the First Watcher, our forces' morale is at an all time low. What if ferocious beasts were to attack at this very moment?
	Why the concern when we already have enough Watchers? Do you need more Cookies as an excuse to stockpile more Jellies?!	Peanut Butter Choco Cookie
Second Watcher	I will not be subject to such an accusation!
	Refrain from this insolent nonsense! Caramel Arrow Cookie this, Caramel Arrow Cookie that... Good riddance! What use was there for a First Watcher who was always gallivanting through the wilds?!	Affogato Cookie
Second Watcher	Hold your tongue! The First Watcher always put the Cookies of our kingdom first!
	Are you defending a banished criminal...? Do you wish to be the next one to face exile?!	Affogato Cookie
Sugary Dark Cacao Watcher	This has gone too far. Affogato Cookie's words resonate with the truth.
	Hrmph... You too...?	Second Watcher
Cube Choco Cookie	*Ahem, ahem* This is not a matter of choosing sides. What is it you propose, Affogato Cookie?
	My concern for the well-being of our kingdom is too much to bear. I can barely sleep due to such a burden. The answer is crystal clear!	Affogato Cookie
	I cannot stand idly by while our king brings ruin upon our land. We must devise a plan!

10. An Interesting Offer
Affogato Cookie	Ahhh... yes, everything is moving forward like clockwork. Confidence in our king has all but dried out.
Affogato Cookie	Perhaps I shall expedite my plans, reveal all at once?! No, no... the king is still much too hardy and hale.
	Things are moving along, indeed, but something is missing... There must be a method to make this kingdom my own in one fell swoop...
Pomegranate Cookie	What an amusing conspiracy you have concocted... Has the kingdom been faring terribly of late?
	Who...?! You... you're not from around here, are you?	Affogato Cookie
	All gates to the citadel are locked shut! How did you get in here?!
Licorice Cookie	Hee hee hee! There's ALWAYS a way.
	Dark Choco Cookie! Hooray! He showed us the way...	Poison Mushroom Cookie
Affogato Cookie	Dark Choco Cookie? The traitorous prince who struck down his own father before fleeing?
	Watch your words. I won't warn you again...	Dark Choco Cookie
Affogato Cookie	P-P-P-Prince Dark Choco Cookie!
	B-b-but you fled from our kingdom? W-w-what are you doing here? What do you w-w-want?!
	Calm your nerves, we mean you no harm. We are merely seeking an ally... such as yourself.	Pomegranate Cookie
Dark Choco Cookie	If you truly wish to take the king out of play, bring him to the top of the tallest wall. I will take care of him myself.
	... What are you talking about? How am I to trust you when we've only met just moments ago?!	Affogato Cookie
Dark Choco Cookie	You have no choice. Refuse our offer, and our armies will lay waste to this entire land.
	Yeah! We got an army big enough to invade this kingdom twice! Think about it...! Handing the king over to us is better than having it wiped off the map! HA HA HA!	Licorice Cookie
Pomegranate Cookie	This kingdom will fare on even in the absence of its king. After all, are you not the more capable Cookie befitting of the throne?
	They are not wrong... This could be THE opportunity I've awaited. If they can truly take the king out of the picture...!	Affogato Cookie
	An interesting offer. Very well. I accept your terms.
	Dah-dah-dah! On one condition... Though your confidence speaks volumes, there is no room for failure!
Pomegranate Cookie	*Soft, evil chuckle* Such an amusing conspirer indeed. Are you prepared, good "prince"?
	Don't waste your breath. I'm here to finish what I started long ago...	Dark Choco Cookie

11. This way, My Lord
Affogato Cookie	This way, my Lord. My servants have prepared something that requires your wisdom.
Affogato Cookie	As you can see, our work on the fortifications is proceeding as planned. I say this with humility, but my efforts to console the soldiers and other nobles have seemed to pay off.
	You? Overseeing security affairs? Hmm... Well done.	Dark Cacao Cookie
Affogato Cookie	My Liege, may I offer my counsel on this matter? While a whip might suffice for now, a carrot may prove more effective. Loyal members of your court may be motivated tenfold with remunerations...
	Loyal? Of whom do you speak?	Dark Cacao Cookie
	Loyalty cannot be bought with rewards. Those truly loyal follow their king until the bitter end.
Affogato Cookie	... Yes, my Lord. I agree with your words of wisdom.
	I remember the time the first stones for this citadel were set in place... I was driven by a sense of duty and fervor, a desire to protect our land with these walls.	Dark Cacao Cookie
Dark Cacao Cookie	Our soldiers, myself... We continued on through that coldest winder, on the brink of starvation to protect our Cookies, our kingdom.
	But I digress. How much further, Affogato Cookie? What is it that you must present before me?
Dark Cacao Cookie	Your king speaks. Answer me. ... Affogato Cookie?
	... Where has he gone? In fact... where has everyone gone...?
	It has been quite some time... Father.	Shadow on the Wall
Dark Cacao Cookie	You...!

12. The Prince Returns... with Darkness
Dark Cacao Cookie	Dark... Choco... Cookie...
	Dark Choco Cookie... Do my eyes deceive me...? How did...?
	You've quite the loyal retainer.	Dark Choco Cookie
Dark Cacao Cookie	... I see! Affogato Cookie, that traitorous worm!
Dark Cacao Cookie	Tell me... Why have you returned? Are you here to ask for my forgiveness?
	I had no choice but to come here. I... am here for the Soul Jam.	Dark Choco Cookie
	I have led Dark Enchantress Cookie's armies to these lands, a force to be reckoned with. But if you surrender now and hand over your sword... We will leave immediately.
Dark Cacao Cookie	As if trespassing into this citadel like wretched vermin wasn't enough, you dare to utter that name and bring her forces here?!
	You do not deserve the mantle of a prince! You are no son of mine! Do you not feel a bit of shame, even as you walk past the Altar of the Fallen!?!?
Dark Choco Cookie	And you are not the great king we all thought you were!
	This ancient citadel is crumbling by the year. The time has come to lay waste to it and watch all these lands be cleansed by the flames of war!
Dark Cacao Cookie	Tread lightly, boy... Your next words may be your last!
Dark Cacao Cookie	Gaaargh...!
	You've grown weak over the years. This is your last chance. The Soul Jam! Give it to me...!	Dark Choco Cookie
Dark Cacao Cookie	*Cough* I have bad news for you, boy. I do not have it with me...
Dark Cacao Cookie	The Soul Jam is hidden within the deepest recesses of this citadel... To protect it until the bitterest of ends!
	Then our conversation ends here!	Dark Choco Cookie
Dark Cacao Cookie	Where do you think you are going?! I'm not done with you yet!
	You're nothing without its power! HYAAAH!	Dark Choco Cookie
Dark Cacao Cookie	HURRR!
Dark Choco Cookie
......
No one can survive falling from this height...
Was this my destiny all along...? The king, this entire kingdom... decimated by my own hand... What a waste...

13. Dark Creatures of the Depths
Licorice Cookie	So, that's that then. Time for the next step then: summoning the monsters of the Licorice Sea?
Licorice Cookie	I spent years trying to get as far away as possible from this foul sea. But where have I ended up? BACK HERE! *PTOOEY*
Licorice Cookie	Yes... YES...! Witness the true might of Licorice Cookie!!! Rise up, dark creatures of the depths! I SUMMON YOU!
	A great host of beasts... Will I be able to witness those forsaken walls finally crumbling?	Dark Choco Cookie
Poison Mushroom Cookie	Whoooooooa...! Licorice Cookie! That was... whoa... awesome!
	It seems that even you have your uses, Licorice Cookie.	Pomegranate Cookie
Licorice Cookie	HA HA HA! With the depths of the seas, I can make anything possible! Ahem... with one caveat... They'll turn to dust at sunrise...
	These numbers will suffice.	Dark Choco Cookie
Pomegranate Cookie	The citadel will be ours before sunrise. There is no room for failure.
	Let's get this party started...! GO, MY MINIONS! Wreak licorice havoc upon the Black Citadel!	Licorice Cookie

14. The Empty Throne
Sugary Dark Cacao Watcher	Affogato Cookie! The skies have gone black and the sea is churning! Something foul is afoot!
	The Watchers decide it wise to report this to the king! Fear is gripping their hearts as we speak!
	Our king has departed from the premises and left all matters of the kingdom to me. My words are delivered on behalf of the king! You need not seek him out so desperately.	Affogato Cookie
	My plan has succeeded! Mhe he. Everyone believes that the king has not been seen since last night.
	Oh, yes, that band of Cookies is quite efficient! I am finding it hard to hide a smile... This kingdom is MINE!	Affogato Cookie
Sugary Dark Cacao Watcher	My Lord! What should we do about the Licorice Sea? Lord Affogato Cookie, please!
	Ah, yes. do not be concerned with the Licorice Sea. Let us hold a ritual to calm its waters. Relay my intent to the Watchers at once!	Affogato Cookie
	My very own servants will make preparations. As I am required elsewhere, I take my leave!

15. Something Sinister
Sugary Dark Cacao Watcher	The altar upon the walls has been prepared, good sage! Please, pacify the Licorice Sea!
	Tide spirits of the Licorice Sea!	Mysterious Priest
Cookies	Tide spirits of the Licorice Sea!
	Long have we resided upon these lands, disregarding your whispers. May we appease your rage! Accept our offerings and grant us peace once more.	Mysterious Priest
	Throw the Rice Jellies into the fire!
Sugary Dark Cacao Watcher	Huh?! There's something beneath the water... Something... sinister!
	SEA MONSTERS?!
	What are you babbling on about? Nonsense!	Mysterious Priest
	Grrrrrooar!	Licorice Ooze
Bittersweet Dark Cacao Watcher	That sound... It's like... a cry of anguish from the darkest of nightmares!
	Hush with your incessant whining! Are you Watchers of the citadel scared of a few waves?!	Mysterious Priest
Second Watcher	Those aren't just waves. Monsters from the Licorice Sea are approaching the Wall!
	Sound the alarm! All stations, prepare for battle!
	NONSENSE! The sea cannot climb up the wall! Monsters? BAH!	Mysterious Priest
	All lies, lies and false superstition! You're intent on spreading blasphemy to invoke fear into the hearts of our Cookies!
Second Watcher	Do you truly believe so? We have spent our lives, our every moment to keep watch upon these walls...
	Good sage, beware! Take cover!	Sugary Dark Cacao Watcher
Mysterious Priest	AH?! AHHH?! The monsters of the Licorice Sea are real?! No... it can't be! IT CAN'T BE!
	They're hallucinations! Hallucinations, I tell you!

16. Collapsing Walls
Second Watcher	Ancestors help us... They're swarming toward us! Watchers, at the ready!
Bittersweet Dark Cacao Watcher	DO NOT LET THEM GAIN AN INCH OF GROUND!
	Leave this tower to me! GO! GOOO! HYAH!	Second Watcher
Bittersweet Dark Cacao Watcher	Huff... huff... There're... ARGH! Too many of them!
	Give them no quarter! Reinforcements will be on the way!	Second Watcher
Bittersweet Dark Cacao Watcher	Commander...! L-l-l-look!
	GROOOOOOOAR!	Living Licorice Abyss
Second Watcher	This... cannot be... What nightmarish beast is that?!
Dark Cacao Watcher	AHHHH!
	Where are our reinforcements?!	Bittersweet Dark Cacao Watcher
Second Watcher	That beast is attempting to smash the wall! STOP IT AT ALL COSTS!
	CHARGE! ANCESTORS, GIVE US STRENGTH!
Cautious Dark Cacao Watcher	We've made it to the citadel! Make haste for the walls! Move, MOVE, MOVE!
	Something off about all this. We'll be fine... right?	Swift Dark Cacao Warrior
Cautious Dark Cacao Watcher	Fear not! For these walls have never fallen for generations.
Swift Dark Cacao Warrior	Erm... er... LOOK! It's shaking from the ground up!
	No... it's not possible...!	Cautious Dark Cacao Watcher
Bittersweet Dark Cacao Watcher	The walls are collapsing! RETREAT!
Second Watcher	No... impossible...
	The Great Wall has fallen... Is this the end for this land?
Dark Cacao Watcher	The wall has crumbled! Fall back! Prepare for the final stand!
