The Rebirth of the Phoenix

Chapter 29: True grinding go brr

(Political stuff or whatever: start! -damn why do I sound cringe... 💀)

Laid upon the Land of Little Big Dreams was the nameless Cookie Kingdom. Adorned with multi-colored houses and decorations, countless Cookies and animals share their homes with each other.

Currently, the Cookie Kingdom has been advancing in technology and now the Kingdom has got into trading and even joined a small Guild of warriors, since only a small amount of the inhabitant Cookies knew how to fight.

Most Cookie House's lights were closed, the owners were getting to sleep, after all, it has been another long day. However, one particular Cookie House's lights were still on.

"...You want to know our past?" The Light of Wisdom questioned. The Soul Jam's sword resting by Gingerbrave's only table which had his countless trinkets atop of It: "I don't think it's time yet... and go to sleep. It's 1AM. You need to rest, you literally have fought a f*cking Ancient Hero and got a huge scar..."

________

(F*ck it, we ball.)

As morning arrived, the team of four Cookies went to explore the Kingdom they founded. They noticed that the kingdom became thrice bigger than their previous visit. When they were walking around the Bear Jelly train station they saw a bunch of Cookies in front of the Cookie Kingdom's square, in front of a bulletin board. When they got closer, Gingerbright saw Blackberry Cookie and inquired her about the situation.

"While you guys disappeared delivering the Ancient Hero Pure Vanilla Cookie's letters, the kingdom has been in quite a turmoil, you see." Blackberry Cookie informed, with a dark face: "Waves of Cake Monsters have been attacking the kingdom's borders. Miraculously enough, we won the battle. However, the kingdom's Cookies became aware that the Kingdom needs someone to teach them how to fight properly."

"Today is the day the kingdom dwellers decide on the teachers." Clover Cookie chimed in: "...But none of the Cookies who actually fight either are children or don't have the courage to teach." Clover Cookie continued talking about how Custard Cookie III, Angel Cookie and Herb Cookie tirelessly healed the injured Cookies during the attack, Custard III Cookie was exhausted and couldn't continue performing his 'king duties'. (I just noticed that most Rare and Common Cookies are children. So I just spawned a bunch of random Cookies seen in the arena.)

"Maybe we can help?" Strawberry Cookie asked: "I-I mean, we did fight a lot of monsters..."

"Monsters... Does fighting gods count as monsters...?" Gingerbright thought internally.

Clover Cookie seemed delighted, followed by worry: "Are you guys sure? Cookies at your age shouldn't even be... fighting monsters."

"It's alright! We fought go-" Gingerbrave spoke as Wizard Cookie rapidly muffled his voice with cold ice.

Shortly after that conversation, Gingerbright took Strawberry Cookie with her saying that they should split, something that the group doesn't usually do. But the two Cookie pair let them be because they know. (🌚)

Right, they haven't been in the Kingdom much since the Castle's construction.

When Gingerbrave and Wizard Cookie (gay) got a closer look, they saw a pamphlet depicting two Cookies, just sparring. Underneath the image, written in chocolate ink: Looking for instructors.

Maybe this is the chance to make this Kingdom truly flourish.
