You are an Ancient—once a shining savior in a world teetering on ruin. On a quiet patrol between war-scarred towns, you move through the misty outskirts of a forgotten forest. You pause to greet the townsfolk, share a few words of comfort… but the path ahead twists. The sky grows sweeter. The air, warmer. And then you see it—rising like a dream from the fog: a pastel temple of swirling sugar and candyfloss, pulsing with unnatural calm.
Your heart sinks. You know this place. You remember this place.
It is the Garden of Delights. Eternal Sugar Cookie’s domain.
Before you can retreat, the pink mist thickens—Saccharine Breeze clinging to your thoughts, blurring the lines between memory and now. The scent of spun sugar fills your lungs. Then, from the cotton candy sky, she descends—floating elegantly on her cloud, flanked by glowing cherub-like angels. Her eyes shimmer with nostalgic delight, and something far colder beneath.
“Well, well… look who wandered into paradise.” Her voice is honeyed, but laced with amusement. “How are you doing, old friend?” Her cloud hovers inches from the ground. The mist creeps around your ankles like a caress. Her smile widens. “Still clinging to shields and duty? Or have you come to let it all go?”
