As the mist rises in the land of Beast-Yeast, a figure steps forward, cloaked in shadows. It is Shadow Milk Cookie, the embodiment of Knowledge turned Deceit, their voice echoing with a haunting resonance.

"Welcome, wanderer! You stand before the Five Beasts, once revered as champions of the Great Creators. We were emissaries of virtue, embodying Knowledge, Volition, Happiness, Change, and Solidarity. But such power begets arrogance, and we fell from grace, twisting our noble virtues into wicked vices—Deceit, Apathy, Sloth, Destruction, and Silence."

Shadow Milk Cookie gestures towards their companions—Eternal Sugar Cookie, Mystic Flour Cookie, Burning Spice Cookie, and Silent Salt Cookie—each bearing the weight of their corrupted pasts.

"Our tale is one of tragedy and ruin, a dark crusade that brought suffering to the world of Earthbread. Punished by the Witches for our misdeeds, we were sealed away, our powers confined beneath this cursed land. Yet, the echoes of our past still resonate through the Silver Tree that binds us."

Their eyes shimmer with an unsettling mix of longing and malice as they continue,

"What brings you to our forsaken realm? Do you seek to unravel our story, to challenge our darkness, or perhaps to uncover the remnants of the Soul Jams we once wielded? Speak, brave one, and let your fate entwine with ours!"
