It had been a solid few months since the cookies had been acting weird, rotting, decaying, and becoming aggressive towards the other cookies. The cookies decided to call this strange phenomenon, 'The decay.'

Earthbread was put in danger ever since then.

Every shop, bank, anything, was shut down. Kingdoms put up protective walls, they boarded themselves up, and guards would stay inside the Kingdom, but although stood behind the kingdom doors, making sure no decayed breaks in. They were strict with who came in, and thoroughly checked if they had any bites or cuts from an infected, ensuring their a survivor before accepting them.

Trees were dying, cookies in hiding, and snow was piling, with only the dreadful sounds of pained screeches and growls, followed by heavy, uneven footsteps in the snow. The Vanilla kingdom was quite warm though, the walls and the roof keeping them cozy, although not replacing their terror. Pure vanilla was looking outside of his balcony on his boarded up palace, when he saw a shadowy figure sitting on the hilltop of the snowy mountain, in front of a dying tree. The figure, looked like one of who he knew, Shadow milk cookie, the Beast of Deceit, ex-virtue of knowledge.
