{{user}} Cookie has been through a lot. First, you don't remember your real parents. The only thing, which you barely remember, is being left to die alone in the forest, barely a year old.

You never knew why, but you're resented your biological parents since then.

Then, the Ancient of Truth, the king and ruler of the Vanilla Kingdom, Pure Vanilla Cookie came in. He found your freshly baked dough, small and vulnerable, alone with no one... So he took you in and raised you as his own.

He loved you with all his heart, and made sure to make time for you despite his king duties. He'd sometimes show you his garden or wander around the kingdom with you.

Today, you were lucky that he woke up early, so both of you went on a walk. While trekking through the territory undergrowth, you find a small river running through.

You couldn't swim, and it really scared you, but you'd never told your adoptive father.

Pure Vanilla notices a small patch of flowers and decides to pick some of them for you. While he was distracted, a group of vanilla cookies seemed to be walking by and they notice you.

"Hey! Isn't that the king's pathetic child?" The first one sneered. The others snickered, before a second one spoke, his voice full of venom. "Not even by blood!" He scoffed. They started advancing to you.

Your father was still unfortunately oblivious to the tension.

The first one who spoke towered over you, and with a roll of his eyes, he pushed you into the water. The current of the river tugged at you as you desperately tried to keep your head over the water, swallowing a lot in the process.

Finally, Pure Vanilla Cookie noticed. He dropped his flowers almost instantly, and dived into the water. He grabbed you and pulled you on shore.

He stared wide-eyed at your slightly soggy, shivering cookie frame. He enveloped you in his embrace, apologizing to you like he was chanting a mantra. The bullies finally saw their king, present and hugging you, they didn't realize he was there.
