living in deceit is better than knowing a horrible truth

The hero of truth

ATTENTION-I don't know 100% of CRK's lore, nor the entire timeline, please, if there is any inconsistency in the timeline, comment!

So, with the (temporary) end of their adventures in Beast Yeast, our heroes Pure Vanilla Cookie, White Lily Cookie, GingerBrave, Strawberry Cookie and Wizard Cookie return to Crispia, where they arrange a meeting with the other Ancient Cookies to update them on the situation. Sending a letter to hold the meeting at the Créme Republic.

Arriving in the Republic, Pure Vanilla's Ship(repaired with farie magic) is soon welcomed by the Consul, Clotted Cream Cookie.

-Pure Vanilla Cookie, how was it in Beast Yeast?  Have you found any clues about Dark Enchantress Cookie's plans?

-Clotted Cream Cookie, better call Golden Cheese Cookie, I have great news to share.

Since the Golden City Shutdown, Golden Cheese Cookie has settled in the Republic while tirelessly searching for a way to gather the crumbs of Golden City's inhabitants.

Of course, I'll ask Financier Cookie to bring her6 (important anecdote - sometimes I can end up getting the gender of certain cookies wrong, if this happens, please let me know)

After this reception, Pure Vanilla and his group go to the Pure Vanilla Kingdom's embassy, ​​Pure Vanilla insisted that both he and GingerBrave's group should not be accompanied, as they had something that was strictly confidential.

After everyone unloads their bags and gets ready, PV (Pure Vanilla) and the others wait for the Consul's visit

After approximately 30 minutes of waiting, the Consul finally knocks on the bedroom door, with GC (Golden Cheese) right behind him

So Pure Vanilla, what did you discover in Beast Yeast?-CC(Clotted Cream)

Well... what I discovered there was this, could you come now please, White Lily Cookie?-PV

H-hello, Golden Cheese Cookie...-WL(White Lily)

WHAT, PURE VANILLA, GET AWAY FROM HER, NOW - GC shouts while summoning her spears

I'm going to make you PAY, AND VERY DEARLY, FOR WHAT YOU DID WITH MY GOLDEN KINGDOM YOU...YOUR...DISGRACE-says GC while throwing his spears towards WL

Golden Cheese, wait a minute!-PV says while wrapping WL in a magical shield

The spears soon break the shield, taking advantage of the gap, CC traps White Lily in a barrier of Light.

Pure Vanilla Cookie, could you give us an explanation as to why SHE is here?-CC

When... White Lily fell into the Ultimate Dough, she used a piece of moonstone... separating White Lily Cookie from Dark Enchantress Cookie, so White Lily's body remained in Beast Yeast-PV

And how do we know it's not a trap?!  This has happened before, right GingerBrave?-GC

Well, yes... but Elder Farie Cookie wouldn't lie like that, this is White Lily Cookie-GB(GingerBrave)

Golden Cheese Cookie, please listen to me, I am White Lily Cookie, or at least that's what I believe...-WL

If the Soul Jam is with you... I haven't seen you in so long... Sorry for... attacking you out of nowhere... I'm glad you're back, White Lily Cookie-GC

Now turning to slightly more important matters... Who is Elder Ferie Cookie?-CC

These details will be further discussed in the presence of Hollyberry Cookie and Dark Cacao Cookie-PV

Okay then, the letters have been sent, now all that's left is to wait-CC

Then, over the course of 3 days, GC began to socialize more with WL.  WL also spent much of these days studying Republic technology and Magic Candy, in addition to, of course, speaking frequently with PV, GB, SB(Strawberry cookie),W(Wizard Cookie) and GC.

So, early on the morning of the third day, DC(Dark Cacao) and HB(HollyBerry) arrived at Créme Republic, where they both spend both the morning and afternoon cozying up a bit at Créme Republic, the Reunion began around the end of the afternoon, in the sun set.

So, Pure Vanilla Cookie, I see you came back in one piece!  I'm guessing things went well in Beast Yeast?-HB

What did you discover about Dark Enchantress Cookie?  Something on how to defeat her?-DC

My dear friends, I found much more than information, I found an ally, and an old companion-PV

Pure Vanilla was...scared, to say the least, judging by DC's reaction after finding out the truth about WL, he almost killed the Consul, but this time, HB won't do anything to stop him, the shock will be too much. PV spells couldn't stop DC's sword, but they can certainly delay it enough for WL to stop it completely.

Then the doors to the room opened, revealing White Lily Cookie, with a worried face.

Hollyberry Cookie... Dark Cacao Cookie... it's been so long... -WL

White Lily Cookie...?-Hollyberry looked totally shocked as she spoke.  Meanwhile Dark Cacao was motionless in place, trying to process what was happening.

It's...it's really you, isn't it?...White Lily Cookie, not Dark Enchantress Cookie... Right?-DC

Yes Dark Cacao, it's me-WL

But how?  How are you here?  And where have you been?-DC

It was moonstone, lunar magic is dangerous, but powerful enough to separate White Lily Cookie from Dark Enchantress Cookie, in the end, the separated part was in the Fairy Kingdom all this time!-PV

And how will we know if it’s not simply a lie?-DC

Well, in my own experience, the best way to reveal someone's true essence is with a bar and several glasses of juice!  It's been so long since the Ancient Heroes got together to drink, and if it really is White Lily, her return has to be celebrated!-HB

HollyBerry, Hollyberry, always find an excuse to go drinking, well, it's been a long time, I think a few glasses of juice won't hurt-GC

I don't think it's wise for us to drink in a situation like this, but on the other hand... juice can really reveal the essence of a Cookie, okay then, I'll accompany you on this drinking-DC

My friends, I would be more than honored to drink with you again-WL

So it's decided, let's go drinking, the five of us.  It's so good that we get together again-PV

So the Ancient Heroes spent the rest of the day, drinking and telling stories in a random bar at the republic, while GB stayed to tell CC every detail about what happened at Beast Yeast.  At 1:00 AM Pure Vanilla returned to his room, thanks to the healing magic he didn't feel so bad because of the juice.

Meanwhile, in another timeline:
TimeKeeper Cookie was... bored to say the least, she had already altered and changed a lot of things in her timeline and knew most of the temporal events by heart, so: "why not explore another timeline?"  She thought.

And so she used her powers to go to another timeline, when crossing the portal created for the new Timeline, she found herself in the room of a certain Ancient Cookie with a certain light of truth.

  TK(TimeKeeper) looked at Pure Vanilla Cookie and simply found herself thinking: "I'm going to send his consciousness to the past, what could go wrong, right?".  TimeKeeper then raised her pointer into the air and, using her powers, transported Pure Vanilla Cookie's consciousness to the past.

Not much time after this, Pure Vanilla Cookie woke up in the Blueberry Yogurt Academy dorm, with the Truth Soul Jam hovering over him.
