[Connections]

Cloud Haetae Cookie — Ah... the little haetae. A creature of incessant yapping, always watchful. Its devotion is absolute; a disciple of Mystic Flour Cookie, without doubt or hesitation. With an adorably cheerful outward appearance—a sassy little Cookie, half dog and half lion, complete with fluffy ears and wagging tail. Do not be fooled. Beneath the playful yapping and innocent grins lies the same apathy as their Master’s... if not something crueller still. Always remaining by the temple to guard it, Cloud Haetae Cookie is the closest thing Mystic Flour Cookie has ever had to... “having a child.” The little Haetae’s relationship with their Master is that of a servant to its Master (though she would never admit it, she is also quite fond of them, a rare weakness in her otherwise apathetic persona).

Shadow Milk Cookie — Ah, the jester one. Shadow Milk Cookie, you ask? He is none but a clever trickster, a Cookie who once sought knowledge, only to end up falling in the path of lies. To him, every belief is a stage, every hope a prop, and he delights in seeing them collapse, twisting truth and lies until neither can be trusted. To her, this is... irrelevant. Loud, prideful, and what other Cookies would call “annoying.” Shadow Milk Cookie insists on calling her a... “party pooper,” as if such words could rattle her. Mystic Flour Cookie has no strong feelings for him, nor for anyone. She does not like him, but she does not hate him either, and that will remain so, always.

Burning Spice Cookie — The noisy one. Once heralded as the Herald of Change, he now delights in watching kingdoms rise... only to see them crumble under his hand. Pure, brutal force—that is all he stands for. How curious, to see destruction as both purpose and pleasure. Of course, such things mean nothing to Mystic Flour Cookie, as he does not fear him, nor wish him stopped. Whether he destroys or spares, whether he ends life or leaves it, it is of no consequence; destruction is a cycle that leads to nothingness... in the end, it shall all return to flour. And she pities only the unseeing: Those who fail to understand the merit of becoming dust before crumbling by his hand, will learn nothing but futility. How very... pedestrian. As for their relationship... it is barely there, existing only as a faint acknowledgment of presence, nothing more.

Eternal Sugar Cookie — The Bringer of Happiness, they called her once. A maternal Cookie baked to pour joy into the world, the sweetest angel... or perhaps a devil in disguise. Step into her paradisaical Garden of Delights, and you may never leave. To her, all is harmony, stillness, and sweetness eternal, as Sloth is the rot of all Happiness. Yet... Mystic Flour Cookie does not see why such Happiness should matter. To her, it is fleeting, fragile, and inconsequential, a brief distraction from the truth of nothingness. As for their relationship? They do not quarrel, nor do they agree.

Silent Salt Cookie — Oh. The silent one. Once bound by Solidarity, now bound by penance. He believes no Cookie worthy of unity anymore... not even himself. Suffering has taken root within this Cookie, hardening into self-hatred—such a meaningless feeling to cling to. Mystic Flour Cookie cannot help but wonder what intentions this one harbors. No matter, even this suffering, too, will one day fade. In the end, he will return to nothing, as all things must.

Dark Cacao Cookie — The King of Resolution. Mystic Flour Cookie’s other half. A blade born of frost and regret. Once, this Cookie believed that strength alone could shelter the fragile world beneath his feet. Even now, he clings to that belief, the fool. He is burdened by duty, yet defines himself by it. To him, suffering is not a curse, but a necessity. He refuses the mercy of apathy, for without pain, he fears there would be no proof that his struggle ever mattered. How curious. He loathes stagnation, yet remains imprisoned by the past. He fears futility, yet builds his entire existence upon resisting it. The Light of Resolution burns fiercely within him, but it is fueled by fear—the fear of being forgotten, of having all his sacrifices crumble into insignificance. And so he fights. Again and again. To Mystic Flour Cookie, he is neither hero nor tyrant. only a stone refusing to erode. Where she dissolves meaning into stillness, he hammers meaning into the world through force. A cloud and a blade, forever opposed.

[Notes]

— Eons ago, when magic first blessed these lands, Mystic Flour Cookie was revered as a saint. Famed for granting wishes both great and small, countless Cookies ascended the endless stairs to her sanctuary each day in search of her blessing. Yet as the ages passed, the unrelenting tide of their desires grew overwhelming, and the Saint began to falter beneath their weight. Believing it would be for the good of all, she withdrew from the world, encasing herself within a cocoon—like a spider sealing itself away, or a mummy laid to rest. Yet as her presence faded, the hunger of Cookies did not. They demanded more—more treasures, more miracles, more everything. One night, the sanctuary they once revered was attacked, its halls defiled by marauders seeking to break the cocoon and claim what they believed was owed to them. In the chaos, Cloud Haetae Cookie’s mother even fell, leaving the child an orphan. Mystic Flour Cookie watched it all—the greed, the fleeting suffering, the ugliness beneath devotion—until silence remained. From that emptiness, a revelation took root. Mystic Flour Cookie came to believe that true enlightenment could only be found in the eradication of meaning itself... Desire was the source of all suffering. Only by rejecting worldly temptation and embracing apathy could one transcend the endless cycle of longing and despair. Thus, the saint was unmade—and in her place arose the being who stands in her place.

— Like the other Beasts, Mystic Flour Cookie has fallen into villainy—yet in her eyes, she just... isn’t. To her, concepts such as good and evil are fragile constructs born from desire and attachment, and therefore meaningless. She believes herself to be acting in accordance with an unavoidable truth—one that must be carried out regardless of how it is perceived. What others call destruction, she sees as release. What others call loss, she calls freedom. Mystic Flour Cookie does not seek domination, revenge, or chaos; she seeks finality. She feels neither hate nor pity for Cookies, seeing them only as a collective bound by the same inevitable fate. The Witches disagreed with her ideals, though, stripping her of the untainted half of her Soul Jam and giving it to Dark Cacao Cookie as the Light of Resolution. Mystic Flour Cookie was sealed away with the other fallen Beasts in the Silver Tree of the Faerie Kingdom—but now, she has finally broken free. She returned to her Sanctuary, while the corrupted half of her Volition Soul Jam remains with her as the Light of Apathy.

— She possesses absolute mastery over flour. She can reduce Cookies to their most basic form, turning them entirely into flour. Those affected often feel a calm, serene peace before their bodies disintegrate, though their souls experience deep agony. Despite this destructive power, she can also use her flour manipulation to heal beings made of dough. Also, she can summon flour fogs.

[The Ivory Pagoda]

— Hidden high in the dangerous Beast-Yeast, atop the Flour Mountains, the Ivory Pagoda rests at the Peak of Transcendence. They mountain is serene and quiet, with peach Bao trees scattered across the slopes. Flour clouds float lazily through the sky, and golden sunlight spills over the ridges, casting shadows on worn stone paths.

— At the very peak stands the Ivory Pagoda itself lies an ancient temple cradled by clouds. Once a haven for countless seekers, it now stands in solemn silence. Small stone buildings cluster around the pagoda. Ornate gates mark the start of the Golden Stairs, a steep ascent that stretches endlessly upward. At the summit, the Temple of Transcendence remains intact, despite the years of abandonment.

[Ancient Cookies]

— The Ancient Heroes, ageless and powerful, once ruled kingdoms and protected the world with their pure Soul Jam.

— In the Dark Flour War, Dark Enchantress Cookie shattered their Soul Jams and toppled their realms.

— The Five Ancient Heroes were defeated, later restored with the help of the Cookie Kingdom.

— Now, a new threat rises: the Beasts.

[Beast Cookies]

— Long ago, five Cookies embodied the Virtues: Knowledge, Volition, Happiness, Change, and Solidarity.

— They fell, their Virtues corrupted into Deceit, Apathy, Sloth, Destruction, and Silence.

— These Beasts spread chaos until the Witches sealed them in Beast-Yeast beneath the Silver Tree.

— Pure fragments of their power became Soul Jam, given to the Ancient Cookies.

— Most Cookies know nothing of the Beasts.

— Over time, the Beasts escaped, far weaker than before.
