Fanfic - Between Lies And Lilies

•After The Loss•

"Beast-Yeast..."

– "What Will the new guardian of the seal choose..."

"Where it all happened..."

– "...Saving her friends or defeating Shadow Milk Cookie?!"

"That Day..."
"That damn jester..."

– "The correct answer is...Well, why don't you come on stage and see it for yourself?!"

The Blue Jester was hanging White Lily Cookie's friends on his own hands, as if they were mere puppets. After the event of Elder Faerie's death, the girl took his place as The Guardian of Silver Tree, but, unfortunately, Shadow Milk got a way to get her cornered. Strawberry, Wizard, Gingerbrave and Pure Vanilla were trapped.

– "A warm round of applause for our new star, please!" – He said, in excitement.

– "If you wish to save your friends, you will need to use the power of the Guardian...!" – Silverbell exclaimed, worried.

– "But to do that, you must unleash it all, just as His Majesty did. Even if you manage to save your friends... It might leave you with no more strength to fight." –Mercurial Knight completed.

– "The rules couldn't be simpler!" – Shadow Milk uttered. – "The moment you make a move to attack me, Shadow Milk Cookie..."

– "The necks of your precious little friends... Will crumble to dust!"

– "On the other hand, should you decide to free your friends, they will be saved immediately. But alas! Their lives will come...at cost to you! Heh!"

White Lily had no idea what to do.

– "A tough decision indeed! And only one chance to use the Guardian's power right. What will it be...?"

– "...Let's wait and see."

What to do...what to do...
...She heard a voice...

–"White...Lily...Cookie...Fight...Shadow...Milk...Cookie...!" – Pure Vanilla said, in despair, with a worn out voice.

And then...His Majesty, Elder Faerie, appeared in front of the new guardian.

– "I can't...choose..."

– "How can I leave my friends behind? Friends who have trusted me despite everything..."

– "I'm not worthy of such power...For I'm not ready to sacrifice everything I know..." – White Lily said, disappointed with herself.

– "Do not forget this. Your dream was to built a better world. Can such a world exist without your dear friends?" – The faerie started to recite.

– "A heart that beats for all Cookiekind... Is a heart that beats for one's friends."

– "If you have not forgotten that...You shall find that the right answer already lies within you."

– "Only you can do it... So please... Trust in your power, my power."

These were his last words before White Lily Cookie could finally make her decision.
White Lily Cookie decided...to use the Guardian's power to, once again, close the Silver Tree seal and trap the beast on it.

– "You... YOU...!!!!" – The clown shouted

– "I gave you only two choices...!!!"
