'That was all in the past, nothing was true. Why would you think it was real? They're gone! It's been eons, forget about that incident!'

{ Author's POV }

Shadow Milk silently tugged on the strings of his puppets, glancing at his surroundings every-so-often. He hummed a small mellow tune to himself. After the performance he went back to the spire of truth, he decided to take a small break there for the time being.

"Hmm.. I should really consider that." He mumbled to himself as he continued to mingle with his puppets, his eyes lazily looking at the door before going back to the puppets, his foot tapping on the wooden floor softly.

"That.. Cookie, how curious I am to know them better." Shadow Milk smiled to himself as he places the puppets down on the table, before standing up to stretch his dough a bit.

He left the room to go down towards the library, he thought why not read a book or two to keep his mind occupied for a bit? After all, staying in the spire of truth without any form of entertainment whatsoever was boring as it can be.

He calmly treaded through the long staircase, blue murals with magical luminescent light shining dimly on said starcase.

He stood in front of the door, then softly pushing it open making little noise, since when pushed with a lot of force it can sound like a huge bell that made contact with the ground. And it creaks loudly that it can be mistaken for a certain cake monster.

Shadow Milk walked along the pathways where countless of shelves filled with books are tucked away for other purposes. 'Now which one was I here for again..?' He pondered as his hand gently grazed through the books on display.

"Ah right!" He used his magic to grab a book that was tucked farther back and hidden away from all the others. He slowly opened the book and started reading it to pass the time.

{ FLASHBACK }

"Your majesty." They kneeled before the king out of respect. "Are you.. Going to leave?" He asked with a calm expression, slightly looking over his shoulder, in which they nodded at his words. "Yes, I am."

"I see.. Though, if you find yourself in a dire situation, do not be afraid to go back to the kingdom. I'll be awaiting your return."

"And please stay safe, I worry your safety." He said softly as he slowly turned around to face them fully.

"I will, by your orders."

"I wish you well in your travel."

"Thank you."

"It is my pleasure." He gave a brief nod before turning his attention back to his usual duties.

[ Author's POV ]

It was a peaceful day like no other, nothing to do as of now, no special events, so cookies decided to take this chance to linger around with their loved ones and friends

But one particular cookie stayed at home, could you guess whom that is?

Y/N slept comfortably on their bed, as they slept, suddenly, their friend, Golden Flan bursted in. "Wake up! It's been 12 whole hours and you still haven't gotten up Y/N Cookie!" She exclaimed.

"Unnghh.. 10 more minutes.." They mumbled and pulled their blanket up, lazily turning around for their back to face her.

"10 more minutes? Or do you mean 10 more hours?!" She face-palmed before dragging them out of bed. "There is nothing special going on.. I don't have anything to do Golden Flan." They grumbled as they were pulled away from their bed.

"Oh but I'm dragging you with me to buy new potions! I'm running low on ingredients as well, so you're going to go with me!" Golden Flan said proudly, then shoving Y/N on a chair. "Now let's get you ready for the day."

30 minutes later..

"You good to go Y/N?" She asked softly glancing over her shoulder to stare at them. "Yes, I am." They cleared their throat then went out the house with Golden Flan.

She held their hand as both walked to the nearby market to buy potions and ingredients. The market is bustling with activity, merchants selling different kinds of goods, that includes exotic potions, fruits from other kingdoms. Y/N glanced around, not really seeing anything interesting, it was just like usual; merchants from different regions going to their village to trade. Golden Flan was astonished by the amount of cookies that were around, wanting to explore more. But Y/N on the other hand just wanted to go back home.

"Ooh! They're selling sugar jellies!" Golden Flan spoke up excitedly, then immediately ran to the stall. "Typical." Y/N mumbled, following behind the excited cookie. "Look at the variety of these!" She pointed looking like an excited child who got a special gift from their parents.

"Oh did you forget your coins again Y/N?" She slightly turned her head to face them, their eyes widen in realization. "Fuuuu... I did.." They sighed deeply, and she shook her head. "You're forgetful sometimes, aren't you?" Golden Flan crossed their arms then put a hand on their chin. "I suppose I'll spare you and buy you things you want."

"Wait..? Golden Flan are you sure? I can just go back to the house and—" "Yadda yadda yadda! We've already gotten this far we won't go back to get your coins!" She shook her head, then gave them coins.

"I don't need this many!" They said trying to give her coins back, but she persisted on giving them coins. "Keep it! I insist! Just make sure you'll have fun with me whilst we buy different kinds of things in the market!" She exclaimed with a bright smile, as stubborn as she was, her mind was strong-willed when it comes to you.

Y/N sighed, patting Golden Flan's head with their hand. "You really are too benevolent." "It's because you're my friend, now let's hurry since the market closes early today!"

Here's your friend

(Thanks to Smored_2022 who gave the name for your friend)

Her height is about the same as an average cookie (unless you're shorter than average.)
