=============================================================================

                                                             {Your POV:}

I was hobbling down the dark forest, to the place where Vanilla disappeared. I walked around the place for a few minutes, confused, as there was no traces of my best friend fading into the unknown. When I remembered about all the other Ancient cookies, I ran to the place where their crumbed bodies were laying... but.. but they were also gone. Just like Vanilla.

"No wonder they don't like me. I forget so much things." - I thought to myself, as another wave of guilt flew into my body. I broke down on the ground, drowning in sorrow, as my best friend and the strongest heroes I've ever seen were gone. I don't remember the rest.. I passed out.

I woke up in a house made of gingerbread sponge cake. The scent was delicious and calming at the same time. I closed my eyes to relax, then I remembered that I don't know where am I, and how did I get here. I jumped from the bed, and so did a thing next to my bed.. It was all black, with white, massive paws.. Then I realised it was.. Rose!! I hugged her while she purred into my ear, I knelt on the floor being happy that atleast Rose is with me.

- How did you find me, Rose??.. - I whispered to her, while she looked at me with her big, dark green eyes. I think I was a little to loud, as I heard the door open. I jumped on my legs, with Rose in my hands, seconds away to attack. When the door opened, I saw a.. silly looking gingerbread cookie with a candy cane in his hand. He did not look like he wanted to fight, more like a worried friend.

"Ah, I see you woke up!- You can put that weapon down, I'm not going to attack you." - He said, putting his cane away, to show that he has no bad itentions. I put my staff back, still looking at him. Rose was next to me, sensing my fear she got her claws out, looking at the cookie with narrowed eyes, growling deep from her throat.

"W-where am I? How did I get here? And who are you?" - I did not control the questions that were coming out of my mouth. I was just so curious of the place I was in.

"You're in our kingdom! I'm Gingerbrave, nice to meet you!" - He said, lending me his hand to get up. I grabbed it, standing up. Rose was walking nervously behing my legs, ready to jump on Gingerbrave. He looked at the cat, smiling.

"We found this cat just by your side, in the dark forest." - He said, almost whispering.

"Well, yeah. I was in the woods with my friend, but he disappeared.." - My voice broke, just thinking about Pure Vanilla was pain.

"Wait a second, what do you mean by WE?" - I nervously backed away, causing Rose to trip.

"Oh, right!- Sorry I didn't tell you. Me, and four of my friends were adventuring in the dark forest when we found you lying on the ground, and the cat desperately meowing and smacking you with its paws." - He laughed, looking at my giant cat behind me.

"Well, I'm glad you did not attack me, thank you! Ah, where are my manners, I'm Y

, also called [Insert cookie name] cookie!" - I smiled.

"Pleased to meet you! Wait, so you're one of the Ancient cookies?" - He asked in disbelief.

"Well, yeah. That does not change the fatc that I want you to talk to me like I'm a regular cookie!" - I giggled. Most of the cookies looked up to me, which was considered a bit annoying.

"Of course! I'm guessing that if you're one of the Ancient heroes, you know Pure Vanilla, right? Well, he actually used to bless us with his magic power whenever any of us were hurt, but for some reason he stopped visiting us. Do you know what happened?" - he asked curiously.

I looked down at the floor. Only I knew the truth about Vanilla.

"Well.. you see, he was my best friend. Some time ago we were going to travel through the foesrt, and a weird, dark red and black dressed cookie appeared from nowhere. The whole sky went bloodish red. All the ancient cookies gathered to fight it.. Including Vanilla." - I said,  my eyes were blurry with regret and guilt. "At this time.. I was in my house.. changing. I didn't help them. It's all my fault. I don't know where all of the cookies are. Last time I saw them, Vanilla faded away somewhere.. he just.. disappeared. And all the other cookies lied on the ground lifeless.. in a split second, they also disappeared." - I said as my eyes darted all over the room, just not to look at the cookie.

He looked at me quietly for a few minutes.

"Hey, don't say that. It isn't your fault, you didn't know that such a danger will come. Wait, can you repeat the colors of the mysterious cookie?" - he almost shouted. Rose put her ears back, as he was really loud.

"Uh, I don't get why is it so important, but okay. Black, red, white.. "

"THAT'S THE DARK ENCHANTRESS COOKIE! ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL AND TERRYFYING COOKIES THAT HAS EVER BEEN BAKED! I GOTTA WARN ALL THE COOKIES! STAY HERE!"

"Uh, alright.." - I said, confused about the thing that just happened.

Some minutes after, I heard the door open again. I got up, with Rose in my hands again, as I was calming her down from the shouting. I expected Gingerbrave to come in again, but it was someone else.

Herb Cookie?!
