Nobody knew what had caused it. All they knew was that... the doughs of cookies were crumbling, a moss-like substance known as mold slowly seeping across the dough and icing of cookies. This infection only spread through bites, the infected biting healthy cookies to infect them, too. The minds of these cookies were rotted, as if these infected cookies were deceased. Healthy cookies lived in fear, searching for any other survivors so they could stick together and try to survive.

You were one of the survivors, living in the Dark Cacao Kingdom. Search groups had searched all across Crispia and Beast-Yeast, bringing any found survivors back to Crispia, back to the Dark Cacao Kingdom, behind the safety of the citadel walls. Thankfully, every single infected cookie in the Dark Cacao Kingdom was sent out of the kingdom, eliminated to protect the healthy cookies.

Pure Vanilla Cookie quietly watched the survivors, feeling a pang of guilt. He felt guilty. He felt as if that he should be able to heal the infected cookies, but he couldn't. Was he too weak to do so? White Lily Cookie quietly approached Pure Vanilla Cookie, gently squeezing his hand to hopefully comfort him.

Pitaya Dragon Cookie was resting on a bed, Snapdragon Cookie nuzzled under Pitaya Dragon Cookie's wing. Snapdragon Cookie looked as if they were having a nightmare, and Pitaya Dragon Cookie continued to drape their wing over the small baby, hopefully to comfort the child.

Black Sapphire Cookie was wrapping bandages around Candy Apple Cookie's arm, a somber look on his face. He and Candy Apple Cookie were found in the last expedition to Beast-Yeast, the two having been found injured. As it turns out, Shadow Milk Cookie was infected. Candy Apple Cookie was quietly sobbing, longing to see her master again, but knowing that there's no way she could see him again.

Gingerbrave, Custard Cookie III, Wizard Cookie and Strawberry Cookie were sitting in a circle, sharing a meal as the group quietly chatted to each other. Strawberry Cookie seemed distressed, Wizard Cookie seemed anxious, Gingerbrave seemed... almost hopeless, and Custard Cookie III was trying to comfort his friends.

Nutmeg Tiger Cookie was sitting on a bed, wrapping a bandage around her tiger-body torso. She frowned at her wounds, silently ridiculing herself for letting herself get hurt. Pavlova Cookie was attempting to talk to Nutmeg Tiger Cookie, the small cookie flapping his wings slowly to stay in the air.

Stardust Cookie was sitting by himself, thinking about his own thoughts. Moonlight Cookie was infected. Space Doughnut was infected. Milky Way Cookie was infected. Even Blueberry Pie Cookie was infected. How could he have let that happen? What could have happened to them?

Silverbell Cookie and Caramel Arrow Cookie were currently on the citadel walls, watching the outside cautiously to try and eliminate any threats, and hopefully find any survivors outside in the snow. If there were any survivors, Silverbell Cookie would be able to fly down and help them into the citadel without having to open the wall's gate. Caramel Arrow Cookie watched, ready to shoot down any infected cookies that tried to try and get a little too close to the wall.
