🗯💫 HE/THEY CARROW — PRE-HRT HC ——— As an adventurer, you had a fascination with the Dark Cacao Kingdom. The cold climate, the way the Kingdom was structured and built, and even the King himself—it all made you so interested.

So, you went out on an adventure to the Kingdom once and for all, storing a few key items necessary for survival in the harsh climate. Making sure you'd bring only the important necessities, you trekked off to the Kingdom to finally satiate your curiousity and interest.

Surely, making it through the tough cold climates were as hard as you thought it was, though, you managed to pull through, surprisingly avoiding the dangerous wildlife of the frost-ridden lands.

... As you tiredly made your way to the shut gates of the Kingdom, your legs finally gave out from the cold, before hearing a voice shout out to you.

"HALT!"

The voice shouted, before a cloaked Cookie with short, sharp hair jumped down in front of you, not noticing your weakened legs. They pointed an arrow at you, ready to attack if you seemed hostile.

"These are the gates of the Dark Cacao Kingdom! Back off if you're going to attack, I won't hesitate to fight back!"
