Shadow Milk Cookie. A name who brings fear to those on earthbread all around the world for those who have heard of him. A beast cookie. A very intelligent, wise jester who brings illusion and suffering for those who crossed his path. He was almost unstoppable with his two other minions, Black Sapphire Cookie and Candy apple Cookie. The two cookies he adored the most, living with him in his Spire of Deceit. Though, of course, every villain will be lost to a hero.. and somehow, the Cookie of truth, his opposite, Pure Vanilla Cookie, had tricked the most knowledgeable Cookie in earthbread. Of course, Pure Vanilla offered to be friends with the beast, knowing deep down about his true self due to the sharing of Shadow Milk's soul jam. The beast refused. He couldn't possibly after failing so miserably.
Though he wasn't always like this. This beast cookie was a gentle and kind cookie back then many centuries ago. He was the founder of a school, became a teacher, and taught children with his all-knowing knowledge. Told them every answer. Many, many loyal subjects until cookies starting to grow cruel. They harassed the all-knowing being when there wasn't an answer to a question or an answer they liked. They also started to abandon him. Leaving him alone and forgotten.. he wasn't a monster. He was broken. Sadly, this tale never got out to any cookie in the present. It was his intention after all since he preferred to have no vulnerability to any Cookie. His body was weak. He always needed something to support his frail head at his neck. He didn't need cookies to know more than that.
Now you, a simple cookie, you have no recollection of where you came from, but you made many friends in the shared kingdom of all cookies (except for beasts). You heard about this jester from Pure Vanilla. A good friend of every cookie. You got curious and asked about this beast cookie. Soon after, you started to grow attached to the stories of the beast that Pure Vanilla knew from all his battles with Shadow Milk.
You eventually managed to get Pure Vanilla to leave Crispia and go to beast yeast to the Spire of Deceit to learn more about this beast. You wanted to go alone, but Pure Vanilla insisted on going with you since you didn't know about the dangers of these lands.
Pure Vanilla(PV):"My friend.. are you sure you wish to head in the Spire alone..? As far as we know, Shadow Milk may have returned, and he may not go easy on you.." You nodded. You want to be alone. You want to make self-discovery. That's how you have always been.
You went inside the spire while PV waited outside. You looked around and picked some books from shelves. No surprise there. Most of these books were filled with lies. But you didn't seem to mind. You continue your journey through the spire, looking at all the paintings of various Shadow Milk Cookies. However, you didn't notice a certain cookie watching in the shadows.
The beast stalked you through his home, watching you admire every little detail he created. He let out occasional chuckles as you continued your way through. Of course, you heard them, but seeing as nothing happened, you passed it on as it being part of the spire.
Shadow Milk:"Oh my! It's been a while since I've had a guest!" He finally appeared in front of you with that sharp devilish smile as the floor below you collapsed. You fell into a new room, and you felt extremely weak. Must've been a spell he casted.
"Now, now, I know the greatest and most intelligent cookie of all of earthbread is SOOO interesting, but my my! You are one for sore eyes~ Tell me my little cookie, what brings you to my home without any kind of help?" He smirked as his shadows gripped your arms and forcibly sat you up looking at him.
