Friends and Courage, Frauds and Fears (Cookie Run) [EDITING SOME CHAPTERS]

Puzzled by Life and Death with a Collapsing Solution

"A- a burial chamber??" Wizard Cookie exclaimed. "How- why did- why does this tunnel lead to a- a burial chamber?!" His voice echoed through the huge room full of tombs and coffins. Everyone remained silent with concerned, and confused awe as they all looked around the place from where they stood. "Woah... this place looks like it could be more than a thousand years old..." GingerBrave mumbled out loud with disbelief. "How... interesting... there is so much vegetation down here... where there is no sunlight or water source..." White Lily Cookie said as she lifted up a flower of one of the vines within the chamber. "I have a bad feeling about this place..." Strawberry Cookie mumbled as she looked around.

"I agree... this place gives me the creeps..." Mocha Cookie said softly as he perked out from behind Coffee Cheesecake Cookie. Suddenly, another slightly strong tremor occurred, causing the cookies to be startled a bit, the cream wolves and crows barking and cawing frantically. After a few more seconds, the shaking settled down, only leaving some dust and stones to fall. "Okay, I'm starting to get worried from how many earthquakes have occurred since we've been down here..." GingerBrave mumbled as he pointed his flashlight to the ceiling of the chamber, seeing a few cracks. "Maybe we... maybe we should keep moving before anything bad happens..." Custard Cookie III said with some concern as he looked up at the cracks. "I agree, we shouldn't stay in this place too long. If there is a worse earthquake later on, who knows how this place will hold out." Black Raisin Cookie added as she calmed her crows down. "Let's go then, we need to figure this place out." GingerBrave said with confidence as he took the first steps forward.

With slight hesitation to wander in a burial chamber filled with tombs of crumbled desserts, they all followed the brave cookie from behind. The cream wolves followed while sniffing the ground out of curiosity if there was any danger around. Though, the cake hound followed behind slowly, while carefully, slowly spinning around, alert of their surroundings. Coffee Cheesecake Cookie noticed this, raising a brow as she spoke up with a tone of annoyance, "What in the oven are you doing?..." The hound jumped around to face forward and look up at the confused, annoyed cookie. "Hmpf... don't judge me, I'm just making sure no random cookie ends up appearing out of nowhere from behind me again." Cappuccino argued with a huff as she walked normally past the coffee dessert cookie. Coffee Cheesecake Cookie rolled her eyes at the hounds attitude and just continued to follow the rest of the group.

The cream wolves, but one of course, continued with their alert curiosity and even walk up to some tombs to sniff around. Crunchy Chip Cookie followed close behind and looking closely at the tombs. "Hey, Cappuccino Cookie, did any of those books say why they... have so many tombs for all these deceased?" He asked outloud as motioned for the cream wolves to keep following, the cakes following his command. Cappuccino trots lightly as she moved nearer to Nightshade Berry Cookie's side, a cream wolf following the hound as she responded, "Well... yes actually, they did. According to the perspective of one of them, it said to be believed that the reason these huge chambers were built were to fill with tombs of passed soldiers who had crumbled during the war the five siblings fought through. Later on-" "Was to be used for cookies who passed even after that war... and showing great care and kindness by placing gifts at the tombs to guide those souls after..." Golden Cheese Cookie finished the statement with a few mumbles.

"Gifts, aye?" Chili Pepper Cookie said with interest as she looked over a tomb, looking at some vases and old items around it like the others. "I wonder if they have any shiny treasures down here." She said while grabbing what seemed like a wooden box covered in dust, breaking some cobwebs as she picked it up. "Maybe there's a few treasures to spare somewhere in this place." She then blew some dust off the wooden box after she spoke. "Chili Pepper! We aren't here for treasure hunting! Put that box down and help us find something that can lead us to the next kingdom." Wizard Cookie said sternly, making Chili Pepper Cookie annoyed. "Oh don't worry, I'm helping you guys... by finding stuff around this place." She rolled her eyes as she opened the box.
