01. Two Soul Jams
Burning Spice Cookie	Hmpf...
	Boring... I'M BORED!
(Burning Spice Cookie's Soul Jam and Golden Cheese Cookie's Soul Jam circle each other)
Nutmeg Tiger Cookie	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.	Burning Spice Cookie
Nutmeg Tiger Cookie	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.	Burning Spice Cookie
Burning Spice Cookie	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.	Nutmeg Tiger Cookie
Burning Spice Cookie	She was too easy a prey... So... meager? How could this be?
	Great One, with respect, the Spice Swarm cornered the prey on your-	Nutmeg Tiger Cookie
Burning Spice Cookie	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!	Burning Spice Cookie
	Then, we'll have a proper battle... Pulverizing her will feel... ecstatic.	Burning Spice Cookie
	Golden Cheese Cookie
	... Where... am I?

02. The Bird Cage
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...
Golden Cheese Cookie	I shall...
Smoked Cheese Cookie	... Golden Cheese Cookie?
Golden Cheese Cookie	I shall... I...
	What is this...? I feel...
Smoked Cheese Cookie	Golden 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...
	Golden Cheese Cookie
	I must escape. Time is of essence! But why... why does my dough feel so inexplicably heavy...?
	Run! Escape! ESCAPE!
	Golden Cheese Cookie
	Is this... fear? Am I afraid? I, Golden Cheese Cookie? No... Never... But...
Golden Cheese Cookie	Khh... khh!
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!	Golden Cheese Cookie
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...
	The power of your Soul Jam is still with you! Burning Spice Cookie hasn't fully claimed it yet!
	Do not lose your spirit! We haven't crumbled just yet!
	Ghhh...!	Golden Cheese Cookie
	Silence, prisoner! Stay quiet! What is the meaning of this?	Nutmeg Tiger Soldier
Smoked Cheese Cookie	Pray tell, is it customary in this land to interrupt when two Cookies are clearly in the middle of a private conversation?
	Hah! In this land, it's customary to punish the big-mouthed ones like you. You really forced my hand.	Nutmeg Tiger Soldier
	Khhh...	Nutmeg Tiger Soldier
Smoked Cheese Cookie	Ah, nothing better than showing fools the errors in their ways. You really should thank your creators that I'm but a shadow of my former self.
	You...! Just you wait! I'll be back with more soldiers and silence you forever!	Nutmeg Tiger Soldier
	Golden Cheese Cookie
	Mustn't give up, mustn't give up. For my kingdom, my... treasures...
Smoked Cheese Cookie
	... Golden Cheese Cookie.

03. A Lesson in Lockpicking
Golden Cheese Cookie	Must act... Must... my... mine...
	... To think that's who defeated me not so long ago.	Smoked Cheese Cookie
	You should've handed me your Soul Jam back then if you were going to crumble so easily!	Smoked Cheese Cookie
Golden Cheese Cookie	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...	Smoked Cheese Cookie
	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.
Golden Cheese Cookie	... Smoked... Cheese Cookie?
	I will not protect the Golden City for you. For this is not my burden to bear.	Smoked Cheese Cookie
	It's yours. You are the one who calls herself the Golden Sovereign.
	You've 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!	Smoked Cheese Cookie
	We called you a god, so BE a god!
	Golden Cheese Cookie
	...
	Golden Cheese Cookie
	... *Huff*...!
	... Haah!
	Wham!
Golden Cheese Cookie	Crumbs... Yes, that's right! I am, I am the Golden Goddess! I cannot fail!
	I'm... in your debt, Smoked Cheese Cookie.
	... Ah, cheeses. If only others were here to witness "THE Golden Goddess" showing such profound humbleness!	Smoked Cheese Cookie
Golden Cheese Cookie	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?	Smoked Cheese Cookie
Golden Cheese Cookie	You're still awake. Yet I can't fly. And the earth...
	Hmmm...!
Golden Cheese Cookie	Only so much...
	That is... barely enough.	Smoked Cheese Cookie
Golden Cheese Cookie	Fine. We start anew. Some great deeds started with even less.
	It just happens to be enough... to fashion a little key.
Smoked Cheese Cookie	Cheeses...!
	Shh, stay on lookout.	Golden Cheese Cookie
	Rattle rattle... Click!
Golden Cheese Cookie	Time to go!
	Nutmeg Tiger Soldier
	Hah! Look how many Spice Soldiers came to teach you a lesson, you arrogant-
	What...?! WHAT?!
Golden Cheese Cookie	Let's show these Spicelings how we do it in the Golden Cheese Kingdom!
	Yes, and let's make it quick.	Smoked Cheese Cookie
	Nutmeg Tiger Soldier
	P-PRISONERS ON THE LOOSE! PRISONERS ON THE LOOOOSE!

04. The Interrogation
Elder Kulfi	... and we were so scared... We o-only pointed the way t-to the Lassi S-springs.
	Only?! ONLY?!	Nutmeg Tiger Cookie
	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!	Nutmeg Tiger Cookie
	I should execute you, here and now-!
	CRACK!
	Burning Spice Cookie
	ENOUGH! GET THIS SHIVERING WRETCH OUT OF MY SIGHT!
	Burning Spice Cookie
	I tire of your incessant, meaningless squeaking. Perhaps I should grind you both to dust...
Nutmeg Tiger Cookie
	... Fine, get out of here!
		Elder Kulfi
	... Yes, thank you, of course...!
	Stomp stomp stomp!
	What is it now?!	Nutmeg Tiger Cookie
	G-general...! Uh... Golden Cheese C-cookie and her lackey...! They escaped...!	Pepper Pangolin Soldier
Nutmeg Tiger Cookie	...... Escaped?
	You useless bumbling FOOLS! The Great Destroyer wanted this Cookie!
	Ha ha, ha ha ha ha ha!	Burning Spice Cookie
	Oh, but this is it! Yes, YES! I knew she wouldn't disappoint me!	Burning Spice Cookie
Nutmeg Tiger Cookie	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.	Burning Spice Cookie
	Ready the Spice Swarm. The hunt is back on.	Burning Spice Cookie
	Elder Kulfi
	Fi... They managed to escape...?
	Elder Kulfi
	......

05. Hallway of Ruin
Smoked Cheese Cookie	It seems like we have a long hallway ahead of us. Perfect for an ambush.
	Stay sharp. Let's keep moving.	Golden Cheese Cookie
Smoked Cheese Cookie	Have you noticed? This place is lavishly decorated, as if it were a 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.	Golden Cheese Cookie
Smoked Cheese Cookie	Oh, but it's a war record. The way this figure is depicted suggests a glorious victory.
Smoked Cheese Cookie	... in what looks more like a carnage, than a fair battle.
Golden Cheese Cookie	...
Smoked Cheese Cookie	My Queen? Are you feeling... unwell again?
	No. I sensed the power... of the Soul Jam, coming from this carving on the wall.	Golden Cheese Cookie
Smoked Cheese Cookie	Soul Jam?
	Yes, How... strange.	Golden Cheese Cookie
	We should keep moving. Perhaps, we'll find more answers as we go.

06. How the Mighty Falls
Golden Cheese Cookie	Huh...?!
	Herald of Change
	...
	Boring... I'm bored.
Turmeric Pig Priest
	O Great One, what is it that you find so boring? Oink.
		Kulfi Priest
	Great One, it is said that a new life has sprouted in a distant barren. Perhaps, watching it grow will entertain you? Fi...
Turmeric Pig Priest
	Oink! This new sprout is growing fast, too. Soon enough, it will blossom into a new civilization.
	Herald of Change
	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!
	Herald of Change
	HOW MUCH LONGER DO I HAVE TO ENDURE THIS?!
Turmeric Pig Priest
	Oink! Forgive us, forgive us, O Great One!
	Herald of Change
	...
	Creation, abundance... I lost interest in all that long ago. Only destruction makes my jam boil!
	Herald of Change
	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!
Kulfi Priest
	O Herald of Change...!
	We beg for your mercy...!
	Herald of Change
	... I wonder... Why must I endure this unbearable boredom for you?
Kulfi Priest
	Fi...?!
	Herald of Change
	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?
	Herald of Change
	Mercy?!
Turmeric Pig Priest
	Oink...!
	Herald of Change?
	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!
Burning Spice Cookie	HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!

07. Kulfi Kindness
	Golden Cheese Cookie
	Kh... Gah!
Smoked Cheese Cookie	My Queen!
	An apparition...! I saw a phantom of the past!	Golden Cheese Cookie
	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?!	Golden Cheese Cookie
Smoked Cheese 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.	Golden Cheese Cookie
	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?	Golden Cheese Cookie
Smoked Cheese Cookie	Your Radiance...
Saffron Buffalo Scout	THIS SIDE IS CLEAR!
	Looks like our little "transgression" didn't go unnoticed. We really must get going now.	Smoked Cheese Cookie
Golden Cheese Cookie	Let's run... They must not catch us again.
	I can't imagine an end more miserable than crumbling here, in this forsaken place!
Burning Spice Cookie	Yes, they are close! I can hear their footsteps!
	Claws out!	Nutmeg Tiger Cookie
	Smoked Cheese Cookie
	They're coming from both sides!
	Golden Cheese Cookie
	Crumbs...! We're cornered!
Elder Kulfi
	Shh! Over here! Fi!
	Golden Cheese Cookie
	You...?!
Elder Kulfi
	QUICK!
Burning Spice Cookie	Golden Cheese Cookie! I know you were here.
	We couldn't detect the prisoners!	Nutmeg Tiger Cookie
Burning Spice Cookie	Heh... Fine. Let's play hide-and-seek.
Burning Spice Cookie	Call reinforcements! Block all the holes, however small. Nothing leaves my temple!
	But remember: bring Golden Cheese Cookie alive. She is mine to crumble. Is. that. clear?
	I live to serve you, Great One!	Nutmeg Tiger Cookie

08. Canyon of Fallen Spices
Elder Kulfi	..... I think the coast is clear, fi!
Elder Kulfi	Go!
	A secret passageway!	Golden Cheese Cookie
Smoked Cheese Cookie	It's a bit too convenient. I find it hard to believe that Burning Spice Cookie and his lackeys don't know about it...
	Fi! Such secrets are known only to us, weaker Spices...	Elder Kulfi
	We know how and where to hide from Wild Spices' wrath... Know all too well, fi...
	But if I may ask... How did you manage to escape from the prison? Did you steal the key?
Golden Cheese Cookie	Steal? I do not employ such crude methods. I simply created it!
Elder Kulfi	Fi...! You turned that white sand into a key...?
	Naturally! It is one of the many powers my Soul Jam provides.	Golden Cheese Cookie
Smoked Cheese Cookie	Your Majesty, have you forgotten that this dust is what remains of the fallen Spices...?
	The color of the sand... doesn't it remind you of the Kulfi? What if...
	Oh goodness.	Golden Cheese Cookie
	My friend... Know that I had no intention to sully the memory of your ancestors...	Golden Cheese Cookie
Elder Kulfi	Fi! Worry not, Cookies! The fact those specks of dust followed your will...
	... You two, come this way.
(background image)
Elder Kulfi	Can you commune with this earth?
	What is this...?	Golden Cheese Cookie
Elder Kulfi	Fi! The remnants of all those abandoned by their god. Most Spices have forgotten about them, but I remember.
	Why... why are you helping us? Are you not afraid of Burning Spice Cookie's wrath?	Golden Cheese Cookie
Elder Kulfi	Our god has forsaken us. Perhaps, the demon will embrace us in his stead? After all, this demon, you, have already saved our lives once... Fi!
	You are mistaken. I do not know about your sorrows. My treasures, my Cookies are what matters for me the most.	Golden Cheese Cookie
	... And I know that if my power becomes Burning Spice Cookie's, everything I hold dear will become another layer of dust that forms this canyon.
	Yearning to be embraced by that cruel "god" of yours will inevitably lead your brethren to a grim end. That much I know.
	But would you rather entrust your fates to a stranger?
Elder Kulfi	Our fates are not meaningless to you, I can feel it. And that is enough, fi.
	Remember what you are fighting for, and our dust will return your kindness.
	Cilantro Cobra Cookie
	Well, well, well, what do I sssee? A Kulfi helping our enemiesss?
Elder Kulfi
	Fi! C-cilantro C-cobra Cookie...!
		Smoked Cheese Cookie
	... I have bad feeling about this.
	Cilantro Cobra Cookie
	Oh, but thisss is good! The Great Dessstroyer will sssavor thisss newsss.

09. All At Stake
Cilantro Cobra Cookie	To sssee a leader of a Ssspice Tribe sssiding with our enemy...!
	Burning Ssspice Cookie will be delighted to learn where your loyalty truly liesss!
	Now, what should I do with you? Tell Nutmeg Tiger Cookie, and she'll reduce your village to dussst. Or tell Sssaffron Buffalo Cookie and use your worthless lot to our advantage?
	Cilantro Cobra Cookie, please... please! Fi!	Elder Kulfi
Cilantro Cobra Cookie	Sssadly for you, you're not in the posssition to bargain.
	When the Great Dessstroyer learnsss about your treassson, he will grant your landsss to usss.
	No... fi...!	Elder Kulfi
Smoked Cheese Cookie	And why are you so eager to please Burning Spice Cookie?
	Look at this place! Your ancestors, too, are buried here somewhere.
	That'sss true. But the ancessstors are in the passst, and I mussst care about the present, don't you think?	Cilantro Cobra Cookie
	Burning Ssspice Cookie rulesss this land with an iron fissst. Crosss him, and you ssshall perisssh. Or worsse.
	Besssides, there are benefitsss to having the Great One'sss favor. He alwaysss leaves a warm, fiery wasssteland for usss to pillage in hisss wake.
	If you are sssmart, you will ssurvive. If you are wissse, you might even thrive.
	And now, I have a juicy Kulfi in my... chokehold.
	Cilantro Cobra Cookie
	Hssss...! Trickssster! You were weaker before! Were you hiding your true ssstrength all along?
Golden Cheese Cookie
	She is right. I do feel stronger than before!
		Smoked Cheese Cookie
	Perhaps, the power of your Soul Jam is coming back. My strength seems to be returning as well.
Golden Cheese Cookie
	If only it was that easy... My Soul Jam is still within Burning Spice Cookie's clutches.
	Cilantro Cobra Cookie
	You, Kulfi! You won't get away with your treassson!
	Burning Ssspice Cookie will make an example of your entire tribe, and raze your village to the ground!
Golden Cheese Cookie
	The tyrant cares not for your petty squabbles. What makes you think Burning Spice Cookie will lower himself to listening to you?
	He might find you useful now, but in the end, he will reduce you to dust, just like he did with many before you.
	And in his wake, he will leave naught but ruin and desolation.
	Cilantro Cobra Cookie
	You don't...!
Golden Cheese Cookie
	Following your master will not bring you glory or rewards, it will only bring ruin upon yourself and your tribe.
	Cilantro Cobra Cookie
	... I-
	WHOOOOM!
		Golden Cheese Cookie
	These tremors...! Everyone, get behind me!
	Cilantro Cobra Cookie
	What...?
	CRUMBLE!
	Burning Spice Cookie
	WHERE AAARE YOU, GOLDEN CHEESE COOKIE?
Elder Kulfi	Great One's mercy.... Cilantro Cobra Cookie...!
	CILANTRO COBRA COOKIE!	Cilantro Cobra Swordsman
	WHERE ARE YOU?	Cilantro Cobra Officer
	WHAM!
	... Khhh!	Cilantro Cobra Swordsman
	Burning Spice Cookie
	You, pathetic worms! You let my prey escape!
	Another hiss and I'll smash you to dust, and feed your remains to your tribe.
		Cilantro Cobra Swordsman
	... Have m-mercy, O Great One!
	Burning Spice Cookie
	She was here...
	Burning Spice Cookie
	YOU CAN'T HIDE FOREVER, LITTLE BIRD!
Golden Cheese Cookie	... Elder Kulfi, now! Run away before he sees us together!
	The snakes are frozen in fear, and Burning Spice Cookie is seeking me alone!
	C-cool! Fi...!	Elder Kulfi
Golden Cheese Cookie	Smoked Cheese Cookie, you must get to safety as well. Follow the Kulfi and run as far from this place as you can!
	Are you serious? Run? Now? I'm not running anywhere! You will need my help in battle!	Smoked Cheese Cookie
Golden Cheese Cookie	We cannot risk damaging the Soulcheeses in the fight! Mozzarella Cookie's and Burnt Cheese Cookie's lives are at stake!
	I'm sure they would do the same in my place! Besides, a scratch or two wouldn't make them back down from a fight!	Smoked Cheese Cookie
Golden Cheese Cookie	Smoked Cheese Cookie, please.
	The risk is too great.
	...	Smoked Cheese Cookie
Golden Cheese Cookie	To fight this monster, I must use every last bit of strength I have left.
	I simply don't want you to get caught in the middle and crumble under the weight of falling rocks.
	... This is a tall order, Your Radiance.	Smoked Cheese Cookie
Golden Cheese Cookie	I only wish to protect you, my friend.
	Very well. But promise me. Promise me that you'll win!	Smoked Cheese Cookie
Golden Cheese Cookie	I promise.
	Now go. It's time for our battle.
	Golden Cheese Cookie
	Burning Spice Cookie. You have something that belongs to me!
Smoked Cheese Cookie
	Let's go, Elder Kulfi.
	Burning Spice Cookie
	Ha ha ha ha ha! Ah, how good it is to see you in one piece.
	Burning Spice Cookie
	Now, it's time for some fun.

10. Mayhem
	CLANG!
	Aaaaah!	Pepper Pangolin Solider
	S-spare us, O Great One-!	Cilantro Cobra Swordsman
	CLANG!
	Oooh! I see you still can channel the power of your Soul Jam! Good... I'm glad I didn't make it mine yet!	Burning Spice Cookie
Golden Cheese Cookie	Hmpf... Yes. Yes, that might just be your greatest achievement! Know that I do not give praise lightly. You really should be thankful!
	Ha ha ha ha! Ahhh, lovely! Keep going, I'm thoroughly enjoying our little dance!	Burning Spice Cookie
	Everyone, run! RUN! If we stay here, we're dust!!!	Saffron Buffalo Scout
	CLANG!
	You fools! Keep the formation! SURROUND THE PREY!	Nutmeg Tiger Cookie
	B-but we're as good as crumbled here! We're taking heavy losses!	Saffron Buffalo Shaman
	What's the point if-
Nutmeg Tiger Cookie	One more squeak, and I will crush you myself.
	M-m-my general... F-f-forgive me! I live to s-s-serve!	Saffron Buffalo Shaman
Nutmeg Tiger Cookie	... Wait a moment. Where is Golden Cheese Cookie's servant? The one who reeks of smoke.
	I-I-I don't know. I d-didn't see-	Saffron Buffalo Scout
Nutmeg Tiger Cookie	Worthless...
	Officer. I want guards placed at every gateway leading out of the temple. The rest of you, remain here and don't let the prey escape.
	Right away, general. May I ask what your plan is?	Nutmeg Tiger Lieutenant
Nutmeg Tiger Cookie	I have a new prey in mind. The servant. Something is not right.
	That bigmouth seemed too cunning to run from a fight without a good reason.
Nutmeg Tiger Cookie	I will bring him before the Great Destroyer and end this hunt.

11. God or Demon?
	CLANG!
	Kh...!	Golden Cheese Cookie
Burning Spice Cookie	I hear you call yourself a "Hero." You, but with half of my power...?
Burning Spice Cookie	Ha ha ha. Yes, just like old times. Countless were "heroes" who tried to challenge me. None survived to see another day.
Burning Spice Cookie	... And you dare to turn my own strength against me? What could be more amusing?
Burning Spice Cookie	NOW GET UP AND FIGHT! What hero crumbles so soon, hm?
	Come on now, hero! Protect this pathetic world! Ha ha ha!
	Yes, you must keep fighting and see the day when you realize that ALL is fated to end with destruction.
	CLANG!
	Ack! Stand back! It's getting too dangerous!	Pepper Pangolin Cookie
	Get out of the way! Those two don't care if you live or crumble!	Cilantro Cobra Swordsman
	WHAT?! You have an ORDER to circle the prey! Now get back in there!	Nutmeg Tiger Lieutenant
	CLANG!
	... The world? I do not care for the world!	Golden Cheese Cookie
	Nor do I wish to protect it! Or to be called a hero!	Golden Cheese Cookie
	I am the Radiant Deity of the Golden City! I fight only to protect my treasures.	Golden Cheese Cookie
	And I will NOT let the likes of you harm what is mine!	Golden Cheese Cookie
	CLANG!
	Hah! Stop teasing me! Surely you realize THAT'S what I love to destroy the most!	Burning Spice Cookie
	Yes, it sounds like a plan...	Burning Spice Cookie
	When I'm done with you, I will wipe EVERYTHING that you ever held dear off the face of the earth. As if it never existed in the first place!
Golden Cheese Cookie	...!
	So keep on fighting! Use all your strength until there's none left! Ha ha ha ha!	Burning Spice Cookie
	CLING CLANG!
Saffron Buffalo Shaman	GAAAH!
	More soldiers are buried beneath the rocks! Quick, we must get them out!!!	Nutmeg Tiger Soldier
Saffron Buffalo Cookie	Forget about them! Hold your position!
	I... I can't take it any longer.	Pepper Pangolin Cookie
Saffron Buffalo Cookie	What?! Deserting?! Think of what Nutmeg Tiger Cookie will do to you!
	Crumble here, or crumble by her hand, what difference does it make?!	Pepper Pangolin Cookie
	Fight all you want! We're leaving!
Saffron Buffalo Cookie	WAIT! Crumbs...!
	CLANG!
	Khhh...!	Golden Cheese Cookie
	Harm my kingdom, and you will see the full extent of my wrath!
	Hear my word! I will not let you erase what I have built!
Burning Spice Cookie	Hah Ha ha! Aha ha ha ha! That's what I like!
Burning Spice Cookie	You, who call yourself the "queen" of a fallen and forgotten kingdom!
	Do you hear that? That's the footsteps of your doom! The relentless tide of Change is about to swallow you whole!
	Burning Spice Cookie
	I will savor your destruction like nothing before!

12. Battle of the Generals
Smoked Cheese Cookie	All gathered?
	Yes, fi...	Young Kulfi
Smoked Cheese Cookie	Good. Now follow your Elder and run away as far as you can.
	What?	Lassi Guard Kulfi
Smoked Cheese Cookie	What "what?" You want to stay? You must escape if you wish to survive.
	But if they find us...	Lassi Guard Kulfi
Smoked Cheese Cookie	Now is your chance! Burning Spice Cookie has all his attention focused on my queen.
	Besides, if something happens to you, my life will become immeasurably more difficult!
	But why...?	Young Kulfi
Smoked Cheese Cookie	You see, my queen tends to get obsessed with the things she cares for.
	And she happens to care for you lot.
	Huh...?	Lassi Guard Kulfi
Smoked Cheese Cookie	If something happens to you, she will go out of her way to come up with another senseless plan.
	Should you crumble, she will gather your remains, piece them back together, and hide them away in her vaults. It has happened before.
Smoked Cheese Cookie	Do you know how difficult it is to serve such a queen? Ah, just the thought alone makes me exhausted...
	He he... I see what you're saying, fi.	Elder Kulfi
	Your queen saved our young, and for that, I helped you escape. But now, we're all in your debt again.
	I will never forget your kindness. I promise to repay you when the time comes. After all, I have my way with magic...
	Nutmeg Tiger Cookie
	What is going on here?! Making promises to our enemy?!
Smoked Cheese Cookie
	...!
	You thought you could disobey me and escape?	Nutmeg Tiger Cookie
	CLANG!
	RUN, NOW!	Smoked Cheese Cookie
Elder Kulfi	... Everyone, we're leaving!
Nutmeg Tiger Cookie	You must be a fool if you think that you can scheme right in the Great Destroyer's domain and get away unpunished. First, his power, now, his Spicelings?!
	Scheme? There is no scheme here.	Smoked Cheese Cookie
	My queen happened to care for those little creatures. I'm merely carrying out her orders to get them out of the way.
Nutmeg Tiger Cookie	Hah! You had every chance to save your dough, and now you will crumble for these pathetic vermin.
	I bet you can't wait to join the rest of your worthless fallen kingdom in oblivion!!!
	My my... What a speech.	Smoked Cheese Cookie
	YOU SHALL FEEL THE WEIGHT OF YOUR WORDS!	Smoked Cheese Cookie
Nutmeg Tiger Cookie	Kkhaah...?!
	Ohh? He he... looks like my powers are coming back.	Smoked Cheese Cookie
	Time to teach you a lesson.
Nutmeg Tiger Cookie	Kh... Gh... It is... inevitable... The Great Destroyer... will always... prevail.
	Your... queen... doesn't stand... a chance...
	She... who is so distracted... by things so inconsequential... How can... she win?!
	*cough* I agree... Yes, you are right. She is a foolish queen.	Smoked Cheese Cookie
	It is like you said... *cough* She tends to get carried away by little, unimportant things. It's rather unbecoming of a queen.
Nutmeg Tiger Cookie	...?
	And the things she fritters her precious time on so carelessly...!	Smoked Cheese Cookie
	A Cookie with but two buttons to his name, a Cookie who tried to seem taller, a Cookie who sticks his nose where it doesn't belong, a Cookie whose eyesight couldn't match her lust for knowledge, a Cookie without an arm...
	No matter how dire the times were... All had to follow her greedy desires! She thought she knew better than anyone.
	Our kingdom was doomed! Instead of listening to her trusted advisors, Golden Cheese Cookie chose to stick with that sorry bunch...!
	And yet... at the very last moment, they turned out to be the very solution we all needed!	Smoked Cheese Cookie
	She showed me how wrong I was! She showed me the fool was I, all along. How infuriating!
Nutmeg Tiger Cookie	... stop yapping... already.
	I'm merely proving... your point. Golden Cheese Cookie is... a foolish queen.	Smoked Cheese Cookie
	Sycophants, charlatans... even willful traitors... All of them have a place among her treasures. She embraced them all.. with open arms. *cough*
	For one reason... It's laughable, really. To let them thrive... in her boundless Abundance.
	Her greed, her foolishness, her absurd actions... is what made her a hero.	Smoked Cheese Cookie
Nutmeg Tiger Cookie	...
	Indeed, your lord and my queen couldn't be more different.	Smoked Cheese Cookie
	And that is the reason why Burning Spice Cookie will never be the master of the Soul Jam.
	Mark my words.
	You can try, try as many times as you want, but in the end, it is our greedy queen who will prevail.
Nutmeg Tiger Cookie	... Hmpf...
	Looks like this flaming speech... took a greater toll on me than I'd expect...	Smoked Cheese Cookie
	It can't end here... I have... a mission...
	Nutmeg Tiger Cookie
	... Arrogant... fool...
	Nutmeg Tiger Cookie
	Hah... Burning Spice Cookie... never... loses!

13. Cookie of Abundance
Golden Cheese Cookie	Kh... Ghah...
	Get up and fight! Where's your battle spirit? Your little life is at stake! Ha ha ha.	Burning Spice Cookie
	Come on! Breathe in the spice dust! Jamshed is supposed to be relished!
	Or, perhaps, you want more? I shall gladly provide! Ha ha ha ha ha!	Burning Spice Cookie
Golden Cheese Cookie	These soldiers... might have obeyed your will before. But now, their spice dust... will listen to my commands and help me put an end to your tryranny!
	Phew... I simply cannot help but pity you.
	Will you truly destroy your Spices, your temple, everything, simply to get to me?
	CLANG!
	Hah! If you wish to play with my trash, who am I to say no?	Burning Spice Cookie
	And this temple? It's about time someone took care of this decrepit ruin.
	You are right. I will gladly grind it all into dust and I'm going to savor every moment of it!	Burning Spice Cookie
Golden Cheese Cookie	Ha... I see it now. You say you were stripped of the right to be called a god, but in truth, you never deserved it to begin with.
	... What?	Burning Spice Cookie
Golden Cheese Cookie	You never had what it takes to be the Herald of Change.
	With violence and oppression alone, any civilization will surely fall.
	You failed at nurturing an ever-lasting legacy. And when you were left face to face with your failure, you could not bear it.
	Hah...!	Burning Spice Cookie
Golden Cheese Cookie	So you went on, you tried and tried hard to erase all evidence of your downfall. For you never saw the true value of all the things you destroyed.
	You turned away from the glint of gems and gold in favor of the glint of a blade. History, culture, treasures, Cookies... To you, all that was no more but dirt beneath your feet...
	Ha. Ha ha. Young and naive creature, I've seen it all.	Burning Spice Cookie
	All the countless paths I've taken led me to one simple conclusion: all that MUST be destroyed.
	Something that can be turned to dust with but a single swing of my axe doesn't deserve to exist.
Golden Cheese Cookie	*Huff puff*...
Golden Cheese Cookie	Heh... Well then, perhaps, you are simply not meant to see the true value of things. All the better for me.
	... ha. Ha ha ha ha...	Burning Spice Cookie
	CLASH!
	Golden Cheese Cookie
	Ghh...!
	Burning Spice Cookie
	Yes.
	Soon, you will become dust, like many before you.
	CLANG CLANG!

14. Cookie Of Destruction
	Golden Cheese Cookie
	... Ack...
	Gh...
Burning Spice Cookie
	You said I failed? Ha ha ha.
	Golden Cheese Cookie
	My... greed... ... Never....
	...
Burning Spice Cookie
	Warlords, heroes, villains, and kings... I've seen all of them in my time. They all tried to avert their doom, and like one another, they all perished.
	You, on the other hand... Forgotten by history itself, and yet you still persist.
		Nutmeg Tiger Cookie
	Heh... I'm glad to see you... pleased... Great One...
Burning Spice Cookie
	You! Where have you been? You seem even more pathetic than usual.
		Nutmeg Tiger Cookie
	I merely... took care of that... lackey of hers.
	He told me... everything... about her... precious denizens. She keeps them... protected... hidden.
Burning Spice Cookie
	Oooh... Go on.
		Nutmeg Tiger Cookie
	Great One... There are Spices who... became allured by her honeyed promises... and deserted.
Burning Spice Cookie
	Kha ha ha... Is that so?
		Nutmeg Tiger Cookie
	The lackey... I took care of him. He won't be... a problem anymore.
	Now, it's... only Golden Cheese Cookie against us...! Destroy... her! Pull out the root of her treachery...!
		Nutmeg Tiger Cookie
	I shall... take care of the traitorous Spices... The Great Destroyer will reign supreme!
	You are the true... Master of the Tide of Change...! The only... God... of Destruction!
	The world shall bend... to your power!
	Cling clang!
	... Elder! Will they be alright? Fi...	Young Kulfi
Elder Kulfi	... We can only hope...
	We must not stop to look back! Fi! Fi! They told us to run away as fast as we can...	Lassi Guard Kulfi
Elder Kulfi	Fi... I should have told Golden Cheese Cookie...
	I took the god for a demon... Fi!
	I saw the truth... too late...

15. The Awakening
Burning Spice Cookie	Heh... Ha ha ha ha!
	KHA HA HA HA HA!
Burning Spice Cookie	How amusing! Crafty little thing. You stole a fragment of my power, you basked in its glory, so proud of yourself. You had the nerve to... teach me? ME?!
	Look where it got you. Poof! That precious servant of yours became a cloud of worthless dust!
	How does it feel? How does it feel to lose everything?
	...	Golden Cheese Cookie
Burning Spice Cookie	But I must give credit where its due. After all, it's thanks to you that I realized I had to get my Soul Jam back.
	Look me in the eye, Golden Cheese Cookie. I wish to see your face when I crumble you.
	I shall crush your greed, your treasures, your dough. And, in the end, I shall take back my Soul Jam.
Burning Spice Cookie	Don't worry. I always keep my promises... All you ever held dear will be swallowed by the Tide of Change. And your very name will be erased from History.
Pure Vanilla Cookie	... and find the last of the Ancient Heroes, Golden Cheese Cookie.
	Golden Cheese Cookie!!!	Hollyberry Cookie
Dark Cacao Cookie	I'm thankful you're safe.
	My old friends.
(background image)
Black Raisin Cookie	Accept the truth and move on! That's what you need to do.
	The most important part is to never let a second chance slip by!	Olive Cookie
Wizard Cookie	I will help!
	We'll come to help you too!	Adventurer Cookie
GingerBrave	What's your greedy desire, Golden Cheese Cookie?
	My new allies.
Manager Cheesebird	Her Radiance! We are the Cheesebirdz that have been working away in the minez for generationz! CHIRP!
	Our great-great-great-great grandfather High Priest Cheesenbird relocated our families to the minez, chirp!	Miner Cheesebird
	My subjects who put their trust in me.
Mozzarella Cookie	Do not hesitate any longer and fly freely to the skies.
	... I shall wait for you, My Queen.	Burnt Cheese Cookie
Smoked Cheese Cookie	We called you a god, so BE a god!
	Those whom I trust with my life.
	Golden Cheese Cookie
	......
	... cru... sh...
	... mine...
	All... MINE!
	You... will not crush MY treasures.
	You CANNOT crush MY treasures.
	As you CANNOT crush ME.
	My name will NEVER be forgotten.
	Golden Cheese Cookie
	MY Soul Jam, the testament to MY power, my right to be called a hero...
	...and the Power of Abundance will NEVER belong to someone ready to forsake the entire world!
	You lost this power, for it was never yours...
	Golden Cheese Cookie
	Instead, it became mine: the greediest Cookie on Earthbread!
	Golden Cheese Cookie
	No, you do not have the right, usurper! You will not make this power yours by force!
	It will be mine, forever more!
Light of Abundance	My radiance is yours, O Golden One!
	And now, my light has increased!
	Soar! Let the Wings of Abundance carry you!
	Burning Spice Cookie
	Oooh... Ha ha!
	You will suffer...!
Golden Cheese Cookie	Burning Spice Cookie, it seems the Tide of Change has turned in my favor.
	Hear my words. You chose to let go of everything you ever had.
	You do not deserve even the smallest smidgen of my treasures.
Burning Spice Cookie	Kha ha!
	How can someone who has forsaken everything prevail over someone who has lost everything?	Immortal Golden Cheese Cookie
	Remember this moment and taste the bitterness of regret.
	For you are about to face defeat from everything you have ever discarded.
Burning Spice Cookie	KHA HA HA HA HA! HA HA HA HA!
Smoked Cheese Cookie	Crumbs... In the end, not only did I fail my mission, but she also made me watch the moment of her triumph from afar...
	... Burnt Cheese Cookie, Mozzarella Cookie...
	Some day, you will lament the fact you slept through such a fateful moment.
Smoked Cheese Cookie	I was the only witness. I love it.
	Heh he...
	SMOKED CHEESE COOKIE! WHERE ARE YOU?!	Golden Cheese Cookie
Smoked Cheese Cookie	MY QUEEN...!
Immortal Golden Cheese Cookie	You... When will you ever listen to my commands?! Have I not told you to get to safety?! And what did you do instead?
	May the Radiance of Gold wash over you!
	My Queen, defying your orders indeed runs in my dough. Worry not, the Soulcheeses are safe and sound.	Smoked Cheese Cookie
Immortal Golden Cheese Cookie	Just what on Earthbread is wrong with you...?!
	No matter. It is over. We can go home now. The path is clear, although I do not know which way to go.
Immortal Golden Cheese Cookie	It is time we leave this place, Smoked Cheese Cookie.
	Ha ha! Gladly, Your Radiance.	Smoked Cheese Cookie
	Did you know, My Queen? That Elder Kulfi has a way with spice magic.	Smoked Cheese Cookie
	For saving his entire tribe, he promised me to return the favor.
Immortal Golden Cheese Cookie	Did he now? l'm surprised the Kulfis found courage to resist their oppressor! He must have been truly grateful.
	My Queen, I suggest we find the Kulfis. Perhaps they can help us return with their magic.	Smoked Cheese Cookie
Immortal Golden Cheese Cookie	Ha ha! Good thinking! I should ask them if they wish to join my kingdom.
	Your Radiance... Are you serious? They might prefer to stay in the land of their ancestors.	Smoked Cheese Cookie
Immortal Golden Cheese Cookie	Do you not see it? Their spice magic skills are far too valuable! Besides, they know the secret of lassi, too!
	Hold on tight!
	... Ah, at last! Oh, the freedom of flying! You shall see what an all-powerful God can do.
	My my, you remember what I said to you during my little rebellion? Truly, what did I do to deserve such treatment from my queen?	Smoked Cheese Cookie
Immortal Golden Cheese Cookie	Hmpf! I shall never forget that, ha ha.
	Very well, Your Radiance. I suppose it will be my lesson.	Smoked Cheese Cookie
Smoked Cheese Cookie	That Burning Spice Cookie was positively horrifying.
	I saw him buried under the ruins of his own temple... And yet, I fear we haven't seen the last of that wretched Beast.	Immortal Golden Cheese Cookie
Smoked Cheese Cookie	You might be right, Your Radiance. Villains like him always come back.
	To think there are more of them...	Immortal Golden Cheese Cookie
Smoked Cheese Cookie	You said there was a Beast Cookie for each of the Five Heroes? I admit, it's a rather scary thought...
	We must get in touch with the other Four as soon as we return.
	......	Immortal Golden Cheese Cookie
Smoked Cheese Cookie	Your Radiance?
	... Yes. Yes, you are right.	Immortal Golden Cheese Cookie
	I can no longer delay the inevitable. And I think I know what to do now.
	I am prepared... to meet White Lily Cookie.
	Nutmeg Tiger Cookie
	G-Great One... Where... are you...
	Click... Clack...
	Nutmeg Tiger Cookie
	Where...
	No... it can't... end... like this...
	Click... Thud!
	Nutmeg Tiger Cookie
	... he he... ha ha ha!
	Yes, I knew it! Ha ha ha!
