01. Two Soul Jams
(background image)
	Hmpf...
	Boring... I'M BORED!
(background image)
	O Great One, what troubles you at the moment of your triumph? Through your victory, you've multiplied your strength, your power!
	I merely took back what was rightfully mine! It is as it must be. There is little to be triumphant about.
	Forgive me, Great One! I... I forgot myself.
	Hm... It's right before me, and yet... converging the two doesn't interest me in the slightest. It's just as dull and meaningless as it was watching history unfold.
(background image)
	Heh, But still, you're mine now. Mine, and mine alone. I trust you will find a way to join on your own.
	What of Golden Cheese Cookie? Is she awake yet?
	I will send the soldiers to the dungeon at once, Great One.
	She was too easy a prey... So... meager? How could this be?
	Great One, with respect, the Spice Swarm cornered the prey on your-
	You fool, the Spice Swarm is nothing! Golden Cheese Cookie wouldn't have escaped from ME. But she was weak... Too weak.
	Our fight, MY fight, should have been more... thrilling. Fiery... Electrifying!
	She had kept a half of my Soul Jam for so long! Yet she could barely put up a fight...
	WHAM!
	Oh. I just can't wait for our little thieving bird to wake up: all this spice powder in the air will make her to go berserk! Ha ha ha!
	Then, we'll have a proper battle... Pulverizing her will feel... ecstatic.
(background image)
	... Where... am I?

02. The Bird Cage
(background image)
Smoked Cheese Cookie	My Queen, you're awake!
	No...! Let go! Let me go! Ahh...!	Golden Cheese Cookie
Smoked Cheese Cookie	Ouch! It's me, Your Radiance! Smoked Cheese Cookie!
	... Ah... Smoked... Cheese Cookie?	Golden Cheese Cookie
Smoked Cheese Cookie	Finally, you've come to your senses! What a relief.
	Ha ha ha, I... must have been out cold for a while. How long... did I sleep?	Golden Cheese Cookie
	No matter. We must go! We must find my Soul Jam!
	To think that some would find one Soul Jam lacking. An avarice I've never thought possible!
Golden Cheese Cookie	Two Soul Jams... Such power...
(background image)
Golden Cheese Cookie	I shall...
(blank background image)
Smoked Cheese Cookie	... Golden Cheese Cookie?
(background image)
Golden Cheese Cookie	I shall... I...
	What is this...? I feel...
(blank background image)
Smoked Cheese Cookie	Golden Cheese Cookie!
	Why does my dough feel so heavy?
	I must... act. Break free from this cage. Escape.
	Face Burning Spice Cookie... once more...
(first background image)
(second background image)
	I must escape. Time is of essence! But why... why does my dough feel so inexplicably heavy?
	Run! Escape! ESCAPE!
	Is this... fear? Am I afraid? I, Golden Cheese Cookie? No... Never... But...
(first background image)
(second background image)
(third background image)
	Khh... khh!
(background image)
Smoked Cheese Cookie	Your Radiance... Golden Cheese Cookie! You... You're pale as brie! Come back to your senses!
	... I must... Must!	Golden Cheese Cookie
	Must... fight... I must!
Smoked Cheese Cookie	I...
Smoked Cheese Cookie	Look at me! I'm still here, with you! I haven't returned to the Soulcheese yet, which can mean only one thing...

03. A Lesson in Lockpicking
	Must act... Must... my... mine...
	... To think that's who defeated me not so long ago.
	You should've handed me your Soul Jam back then if you were going to crumble so easily!
	No, my... My greedy desire...
	Trust me, I know what you're going through, I felt the same before. Light fades before your eyes and dread seeps through your entire soul...
	In the end, this overwhelming trepidation almost wrought the end of our kingdom...
	You built the Golden City because you refused to give up ... I started my conspiracy because I, too, refused to give up on our kingdom.
	You mustn't let dread shackle you. Your steps might be small and shaky, but only by walking forwards, slowly but steadily, you will prevent yourself from crumbling apart.
	... Smoked... Cheese Cookie?
	I will not protect the Golden City for you. For this is not my burden to bear.
	It's yours. You are the one who calls herself the Golden Sovereign.
	You're defeated me once. Where is that radiant strength now?
	Use it, use all you've got! Your fear, your sense of duty, your pride, your greed!
	We called you a god, so BE a god!
	...
	... *Huff*...!
	... Haah!
Wham!
	Crumbs... Yes, that's right!
	I am, I am the Golden Goddess! I cannot fail!
	I'm... I'm in your debt, Smoked Cheese Cookie.
	... Ah, cheeses. If only others were here to witness "THE Golden Goddess" showing such profound humbleness!
	Hmfp... Perhaps that brute should have silenced you, you impudent-!
	I'm glad you're feeling better. Your... Radiance. Can you feel the power of your Soul Jam? Can you wield it?
	You're still awake. Yet I can't fly. And the earth...
	Hmmm...!
(background image)
	Only so much...
	That is... barely enough.
	Fine. We start anew. Some great deeds started with even less.
	It just happens to be enough... to fashion a little key.
(background image)
	Cheeses...!
	Shh, stay on lookout.
Rattle rattle... Click!
(background image)
	Time to go!
	Hah! Look how many Spice Soldiers came to teach you a lesson. you arrogant-
	What...?! WHAT?!
	Let's show these Spicelings how we do it in the Golden Cheese Kingdom!
	Yes, and let's make it quick.
	P-PRISONERS ON THE LOOSE! PRISONERS ON THE LOOOOSE!

04. The Interrogation
(background image)
	... and we were so scared... We o-only pointed the way t-to the Lassi S-springs.
	Only?! ONLY?!
	You offered the fugitive Golden Cheese Cookie shelter in your village and even treated her to lassi!
	And then, you showed her the way to safety!
	I should execute you, here and now-!
CRACK!
	ENOUGH! GET THIS SHIVERING WRETCH OUT OF MY SIGHT!
	I tire of your incessant, meaningless squeaking. Perhaps I should grind you both to dust...
	... Fine, get out of here!
	... Yes, thank you, of course...!
Stomp stomp stomp!
	What is it now?!
	G-general...! Uh... Golden Cheese C-cookie and her lackey...! They escaped...!
	...... Escaped?
	You useless bumbling FOOLS! The Great Destroyer wanted this Cookie!
	Ha ha, ha ha ha ha ha!
	Oh, but this is it! Yes, YES! I knew she wouldn't disappoint me!
	B-but Great One...?!
	That's precisely what I desired. Now that her Soul Jam is mine, all that is left is to have some fun.
	Ready the Spice Swarm. The hunt is back on.
	Fi... They managed to escape...?
	......

05. Hallway of Ruin
(background image)
	It seems like we have a long hallway ahead of us. Perfect for an ambush.
	Stay sharp. Let's keep moving.
	Have you noticed? This place is lavishly decorated, as if it were palace or a great temple.
	Such... refined aesthetic taste is certainly unexpected from a bunch of... brutes.
	You're right! The walls are covered in all sorts of murals and ornaments.
(background image)
	Oh, but it's a war record. The way this figure is depicted suggests a glorious victory.
	... in what looks more like a carnage, than a fair battle.
	...
(background image)
	My Queen? Are you feeling... unwell again?
	No. I sensed the power... of the Soul Jam, coming from this carving on the wall.
	Soul Jam?
	Yes, How... strange.
	We should keep moving. Perhaps, we'll find more answers as we go.

06. How the Mighty Falls
(background image)
	Huh...?!
(background image)
	...
	Boring... I'm bored.
	O Great One, what is it that you find so boring? Oink.
	Great One, it is said that new life has sprouted in a distant barren. Perhaps, watching it grown will entertain you? Fi...
	Oink! The new sprout is growing fast, too. Soon enough, it will blossom into new civilization.
	New...? Hah! And what will be so "new" about it?
	It will be born, then grow only to wither away eventually.
	That's what they all do! Born, grow, wither, born, grow, wither... All this Change, and yet it's never changing.
	WHAM!
	HOW MUCH LONGER DO I HAVE TO ENDURE THIS?!
	Oink! Forgive us, forgive us, O Great One!
	...
	Creation, abundance... I lost interest in all that long ago. Only destruction makes my jam boil!
	Yes, I might take a look at that... spring in the barren. Ah, but first... The history of this very place must come to an end.
	It has long but outlasted itself. I shall obliterate it first. Then, I will nurture a new cycle only to- No... Just the thought alone makes me sick!
	O Herald of Change...!
	We beg for your mercy...!
	... I wonder... Why must I endure this unbearable boredom for you?
	Fi...?!
	Your civilization, all that surrounding you... It was brought about by me and me alone.
	It is only rightful for me to extinguish it. And still, you're begging for mercy?
	Mercy?!
	Oink...!
(background image)
	Ha ha ha... Yes. I see it clearly now.
	My purpose, my duty... It all became my yoke eons ago.
	AND IT IS TIME I RELEASE MYSELF FROM IT!
	OH YES...! AND I SHALL RELISH THIS!
(background image)
	HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!

07. Kulfi Kindness
(background image)
	Kh... Gah!
	My Queen!
	An apparition...! I saw a phantom of the past!
	That Burning Spice Cookie... He is... thoroughly unhinged!
	Smoked Cheese Cookie! Are the Soulcheeses still safe under your guard? Burnt Cheese Cookie and Mozzarella Cookie?!
	Do not worry, My Queen. They are safe and sound. But what did you see that troubled you so?
	... I saw.. how this evil began. How trivial, how banal it was.
	Boredom... He was... bored? He took away my Soul Jam... for entertainment?
	That monster put my precious treasures in danger so... flippantly?!
	He broke my wings... for a twisted laugh?
	Your Radiance...
