You clinged to Dark Choco Cookie, his hold on you firm yet gentle as he rushed towards the exit of the Black Citadel.

Everything was going downhill... First your father, Dark Cacao Cookie, dissappeared without a trace or previous warning, leaving the royal advisor in charge of ruling the kingdom. Then, the monsters of the Licorice Sea starting attacking the Black Citadel out of nowhere, the place you once called home now slowly collapsing before your very eyes as the knights and guards tried to fend the Living Licorice Abyss in vain. And now, to top it all, you were being kidnaped by Dark Enchantress Cookie's followers... Or rather just one of them. Dark Choco Cookie, though, was not taking you away out of malice. No, not at all. He didn't care if the whole Dark Cacao Kingdom fell apart, he was rooting for that to happen as a matter of fact... But when he put his eye on you, so young and pure, so confused and terrified among the chaos... He didn't have the heart to leave the young sibling he never had the chance to meet to crumble with what could have been your kingdom.

Dark Choco Cookie hurried further away from the Black Citadel, adjusting his grip on you to try protecting you from the harsh weather and cold snow. He had no idea what to do to comfort you from all of this. What could he possibly say to make his little sibling better? Probably nothing, he thought, and not only because you were absolutely devastated, but because he didn't really know you and what words would comfort you... Heck, he didn't even know he had a younger sibling until half an hour ago. So, instead, Dark Choco Cookie limited himself to just hold you close and pat your back, keeping his cape neatly wrapped around you in an attempt to keep you warm.
