Narrator POV
Well, the Lolia village is nice, but it's time for them to set off on their looong journey!
Meanwhile, Apple Pop Cookie has an idea!
"Uh, no way!" Melon Pop Cookie protested. "I can't leave the village! I'm the main protector!"
Apple Pop put her hand on Mel's shoulder,
"Mel, you've been our protector for 4 years. I'm sure we'll be fine with you being gone for a week. Plus, those travelers definitely need some help-"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GingerBright's POV
We packed our stuff, and got ready to leave.
"We're gonna have to visit again when we aren't saving the world!" I announced.
"Agreed."
Just as we were about to leave,
"Halt!"
"Huh?"
We turned around to see Melon Pop Cookie,
"I will be accompanying you."
"Really?" Wizard asked.
"Well, I may hate the HollyBerry Kingdom... But I suppose I should help you."
"But what about the village?"
"Eh, they'll be fine, I'm sure of it."
"Alright then, c'mon!" GingerBrave exclaimed.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So, Pomegranate, how long should it be til we reach the HollyBerry Kingdom?" GingerBrave asked.
"According to this, about an hour-"
"Wrong, it's actually an hour and a half." Melon Pop corrected.
Everyone went silent for a minute.
"Don't... Ask how I know that."
Then, Wizard whispered something to GingerBrave... Are they keeping secrets from me?
They better not be! For the majority of the walk everyone was silent, but GingerBrave and Wizard kept whispering to each other! They're definitely keeping secrets!
-------------------------------------------------
"Here we are, the HollyBerry Kingdom." Pomegranate announced.
Almost everyone was in complete awe... Almost.
"Eh, nothing too special." Melon Pop crossed her arms,
"Let's just speak to that queen and get out of here."
"So I heard the Queens name is-" Pomegranate began, but I tuned her out.
"You two are definitely hiding something!" I whisper-yelled (Lmao idk) to GingerBrave and Wizard.
"We're not hiding anything-" GingerBrave whispered back.
"You guys have been whispering to each other the entire time?"
"Oh, that... It's just, something feels off about that lolian." Wizard whispered.
"What? Melon Pop? She seems fine to me..."
"We'll explain when we can.."
I gave them the side eye, and we continued walking. Melon Pop seems so nice, she couldn't be hiding something? Right?
We approached the castle, it didn't seem to be heavily guarded, only one guard was around.
"Halt, state your identity and reason to be here." Spoke the guard.
"I'm Pomegranate Cookie, that's Melon Pop Cookie, and the 3 in the back... I can't remember. Anyways, we need to speak to Queen TigerLily."
"Reason?"
"Urgent matters."
"What kind?"
"Well-" Pomegranate began but she was cut off,
"We don't have time for this, let us see her." Melon Pop interrupted.
"I need a reason."
"Listen, we need to discuss something important." Pomegranate explains.
"Follow me."
The guard sighed.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You're highness, there are cookies here to see you."
"Bring them in."
We walked into the throne room,
"Your majesty... I'm Pomegranate Cookie, and these are my friends. We would like to discuss something with you."
"Okay, do tell."
"Well we-" Pomegranate started to say, but Wizard started whispering to GingerBrave and me,
"Look at that, her locket. It very noticeable compared to the rest of her outfit."
"Your point?" GingerBrave asked.
"I dunno, I just thought that was interesting."
I rolled my eyes,
"Wizard, it's just a necklace.."
I assured.
"Well, I'm sure we can make arrangements in order to help. Is there anything else?"
The Queen asked.
"Yes.. About that locket."
Wizard said.
I face palmed.
"Oh, this... It belonged to my sister. I do miss her.."
"As do I.." The guard that escorted us in sighed.
"Cheer up, Knight Cookie. I'm sure she'll turn up some day..."
"If you don't mind me asking... What did happen to your sister?"
I asked..
"Well..."
Lmao CLIFF HANGERRRRRRR
