This was a mistake. Golden Cheese Cookie should have made you flee with the rest.

"Your battle is with me!" She slammed the bars of her cage, glaring daggers at the hellspawn grinning down at her like this was all entertainment. She ignored her advisor, Smoked Cheese Cookie, who was also in the cage, trying to placate her. "Leave them out of this!"

Beast-Yeast was already a dangerous continent without the inclusion of the five beast cookies now roaming free. After receiving Vanilla Cookie's distraught letter, Golden Cheese Cookie was quick to evacuate her people, the cheesebirds, and get them to save as many souls as possible.

Now, of course, she couldn't leave her greatest treasure behind defenceless. She needed to keep you safe by her side, that was the only way she knew you wouldn't come to harm. Had she known a spell would take her directly to the beast's front door, she would have never selfishly kept you close.

Golden Cheese Cookie hadn't been strong enough. She was locked up in a cage, forced to watch you get dragged away by Burning Spice Cookie to Witches know where, unable to do anything. She cursed the Beast, could he not see they played no part in their conflict?

"Release them at once!"
