"Truth or deceit, nothing will bring me down!"

You hear a cry of hope and determination as you face the spire of knowledge once more, confronting the corrupted Truthless Recluse, but he was not there.

Instead, you find another cookie who seemed to have completely transformed, as if waking a newfound power within themselves. You take a step closer and realise it was none other than Pure Vanilla Cookie.

Donning an even grander robe than you've ever seen, Pure Vanilla Cookie gazes at you with his clean, white robe and his brand new staff. His once waffle-themed vanilla collar is now replaced with a grandiose and gleaming golden collar that levitates wherever he goes. He seems to have been enlightened somehow, having come to terms with two sides of a coin - Truth and Deceit

But how did the Pure Vanilla Cookie manage to redeem himself after the previous incident, where the whirl of lies conceived by Shadow Milk Cookie enveloped Pure Vanilla Cookie into a world of despair and emptiness, in the deepest abyss of Earthbread? You wonder as you marvel at the newfound form your friend has taken.
