Moments earlier, at the Land of Beast Yeast
In the Kingdom of Faeries
…
Silverbell Cookie: "Ah, Mercurial Knight Cookie!"
Mercurial Knight Cookie: "Something the matter, Silverbell Cookie?"
Silverbell Cookie: "Ah, it's nothing! I was wondering where you went. Paying your respects to White Lily Cookie, I see?"
Mercurial Cookie: "Hmm… Yes."
As Mercurial Knight Cookie placed a freshly picked white lily flower on the stump next to the glass coffin where the real White Lily Cookie is slumbering inside, he bowed down as he kneeled before her. Afterwards he got up, but sighed quietly as he looked at the coffin where White Lily Cookie is still sleeping soundly.
Silverbell Cookie: "You know…"
Mercurial Knight Cookie: "Hmm?"
Silverbell Cookie: "Will White Lily Cookie ever wake up from her long slumber?"
Mercurial Knight Cookie: "Only time will tell, Silverbell Cookie. For now, we must do what we can to protect the silver tree and our hero."
Silverbell Cookie: "Although… There's this one odd question I have had in my mind for a while now."
Mercurial Knight Cookie: "Hmm?"
Silverbell Cookie: "Do you still remember when his majesty Elder Faerie Cookie talked about another prophecy that the witches told him about?"
Mercurial Knight Cookie: "I think so…"
…
"... When 2 dark sides join forces, the world will soon crumble into a pit of despair and chaos. Neither Witches or Wizards will be able to stop this great calamity that has bestowed upon those evil forces.
But… amidst the darkness, there will be light. Shining in its despairing time, the bright light of hope will soon vanquish the dark tides that have washed over."
…
Mercurial Knight Cookie: "... That's all there is to know."
Silverbell Cookie: "Amidst the darkness, there will be a light of hope… Could it be—"
Mercurial Knight Cookie: "It's possible that it could be the legendary witch that has befallen from the world eons ago. But it is uncertain."
Silverbell Cookie: "Hmm… True."
Outside the Faerie Kingdom: Faeriewood..
Like flies, hunting for its targeted prey, the followers of the night were swift as the wind in the night and they soon made their way at the entrance of the Faerie Kingdom.
Stopping at their tracks, one among them turned into a Faerie as a disguise, to open the kingdom's gates with ease. As the chimes of the silver bells ring softly, the gates of the kingdom soon opened itself with open arms, but for what they have opened for was something they didn't expect it to be.
In a flash, the followers of the night soon make haste again to the silver tree without detection. Shortly after, they were on the branches of the tree.
Elder Faerie Cookie: "Hmm?"
Young Faerie Knight Cookie: "Is something the matter, your majesty?"
Elder Faerie Cookie: "I thought I saw something flying just now. Must be my imagination."
Young Faerie Knight Cookie: "Perhaps you are tired, your majesty."
Elder Faerie Cookie: "Perhaps I am.
Young Faerie Knight Cookie: "Should I escort you to your chambers, your majesty?"
Elder Faerie Cookie: "Thank you, but I'll be fine on my own."
The young faerie knight cookie only responded in a bow, as Elder Faerie Cookie waved the young knight a goodbye… he looked at the silver tree, still gleaming ever so brightly, but doubt was washing over him like a hurricane.
Elder Faerie Cookie: (If the so-called prophecy of the 2 dark sides joining forces… I fear that there is much more than it meets the eye for what's about to come.)
…
"... Elder Faerie Cookie…
When the time comes for these 2 heroes to step into this world…
It's only a matter of time before they cover the world into nothing but despair and nightmares.
Guide these 2 great heroes to their goal, and hope will be forever more."
…
… As the guardian of this world, I swore to protect. I will do my utmost best to aid them in their journey.
…
Joy'ish follower: "Hmm… That Elder Faerie Cookie knows what's up."
Indifferent Follower: "Heed no mind to that old coot."
Feisty Follower: "Although… He might know a thing or two about us, considering that her holiness was once a mere witch in this world before."
Loathe Follower: "Indeed."
Muted Follower: "...."
Indifferent Follower: "Enough chit chat, let us continue our mission."
Without a moment to spare, they quickly kneeled down as they touched the branches of the Silver Tree. Each one of them chanted softly under their breaths as they quickly made due, connecting their voices inside the Silver Tree… Convincing the Beasts that they are allies from the outside.
Thus, their plan continues to grow.

…
Shadow Milk Cookie: "Humm… I didn't know you people are still here. Well then, since y'all are still here, I know most of you are curious to what's going to happen next… I know! I am too!! Oh but don't you worry~ For I shall give you some SPOILERS~ to what's going to happen next!"
…
Shadow Milk Cookie: "Hmm? What's wrong? DID YOU REALLY THINK I WOULD SPOIL SOMETHING INTERESTING AS THIS ONE??Tsk… tsk..!! You should really be patient! This one-of-a-kind story will be fully well written and fully immersive to viewers and readers much like yourself."
…
Shadow Milk Cookie: "W-W-WAIT!! WAIT WAIT WAIT!! Don't goooo~ or else you'll miss the most crucial part of all~"
Burning Spice Cookie: "Who are you even talking to, Jester? Another one of your marionettes?"
Shadow Milk Cookie: "Ugh, none of your business, Spicy!"
Mystic Flour Cookie: "... We got company."
Distorted Voices: "Hehehehe~ Looks like you, idiots, are having a blast in here~ Do tell, how's it in there? Cozy? Or possibly crammy?"
Silent Salt Cookie: "...."
Eternal Sugar Cookie: *yawns*...
Shadow Milk Cookie: "And… who are you?"
Distorted Voices: "We were given with no name, for we were given a purpose… a mission… a pledge to one's oath in hopes to grant one's wish."
Shadow Milk Cookie: "Oooh~ a riddle? I love riddles! But uh… I don't get it."
Burning Spice Cookie: "You are boring me to death! Just tell us what you need to say already. If only I could get out of here, so that I could crush you to dust."
Distorted Voices: "Hehehe~we were ordered to free you from your seal. For we have a common enemy on our hands."
Mystic Flour Cookie: "To what enemy do you speak of?"
Distorted Voices: "A girl in white, hair flowed like starlight. For she, is bringing an end to our one's oath and wish. And 5 cookies, powerful yet ancient, for they claimed to be the soul owners of your Soul Jams."
Silent Salt Cookie: "!!!!!!"
Eternal Sugar Cookie: "..."
Shadow Milk Cookie: "... Tsk."
Distorted Voices: "But fear not, for we, shall set things right. Our master, Dark Enchantress Cookie, will set you free and give you new bodies to roam free whether at land or at sea."
Burning Spice Cookie: "New bodies, huh?"
Shadow Milk Cookie: "Tell me, who even is this… Dark Enchantress Cookie, hmm?"
Distorted Voices: "Powerful. Intelligent. She, alone, will rule over Earthbread with an iron fist! But for she, she needs your assistance… Which is why we shall set you free."
Shadow Milk Cookie: "Heehee~ I like the sound of that!"
Mystic Flour Cookie: "... I sense something… sinister from your words. Is it true that you will set us free from our confinement?"
Distorted Voices: "Absolutely. For we shall do our best to help you regain your powers once more!"
Mystic Flour Cookie: "Very well then."
Burning Spice Cookie: "... You said that there's another cookie that is trying to oppose you and Dark Enchantress Cookie correct?"
Distorted Voices: "Indeed. Persistent she may be, she will not rest until she succeeds."
Shadow Milk Cookie: "Girl in white… Hair flows like starlight… Now where did I see that kind of description before…?"
Eternal Sugar: "Hmm?"
Burning Spice Cookie: "Once I'm out of these chains, I shall burn EVERYTHING once more!!"
Shadow Milk Cookie: "Heehee~... It's only a matter of time now~ Thankfully, our powers are restored… But only partially. Even after our Soul Jams were split into millions, this will suffice."
The distorted voices laughed vigorously. Their laughter echoed all around them, but soon silence themselves before speaking once more.
…
"May we rejoice, as you break free."
…
CRACK CRACK—!
…
Outside the Silver Tree, within the faerie kingdom; Elder Faerie Cookie was in the hidden section of the library of the palace. The hidden section of the library was restricted, only the Elder can enter the place. As he brushes his fingers on the spines of each and every book that were on their shelves, he stops in his tracks and picks the book that had words that he cannot decipher, a book that contains gibberish but it was important nonetheless.
As he opened the book, there was a necklace, attached to it was a fragment of a jewel that was still highly unknown to him. And yet… It was glowing, but its shine was still weak.
Elder Faerie Cookie: "... The befallen star and watcher…"
…
"If you really are here in this world as of now… I can only guess that you are still fighting for what's about to come here."
