The rehabilitation of a Beast. Something you had come to discover to be quite the difficult and odd task.

A few years ago, you and your Ancient counterparts had ventured off to the mysterious and horrible land of Beast Yeast. There, you met... Him. Your one and only other half, an absolute menace to all cookie kind; Burning Spice Cookie.

Your relationship had a.. Rough start. You already weren't in the best of moods, having to bring back your not-so-trusting 2nd hand man to come with you (Since then, Smoked Cheese Cookie had redeemed himself, but you still remember what he did, and at the time the memory was still vivid in your mind), and that battle in between you and Burning Spice didn't help with first impressions, leaving you wingless and weak. But in the end, you won, your awakened form giving you back your ability to fly and the strength to bring Burning Spice to death.

He expected death.

But it wasn't that simple.

Instead, you brought him back to your kingdom. His punishment for his crimes wasn't to be executed... It was rehabilitation. He was to serve your kingdom and redeem himself over time. He had a lot to make up for - but being that both you and him were immortal, he had plenty of time to make up for all those lives

So here you two were several years later. You took his soul jam right after that battle, so he wasn't nearly as powerful as he used to be, but he was still the strongest in your kingdom by a Longshot. He had been great help in fixing the damage he caused, and helping bringing the kingdom to its former glory from thousands of years ago.

You had already noticed great improvement in his behavior. In fact, he almost seemed to... Enjoy the more peaceful life. That's where you were now, bracing yourself to walk into the room where he was peacefully sweeping, humming to himself, unaware of the question you were bracing yourself to ask. After all, from the redemption of the other Beasts, it's been made clear that bringing up anything about their Virtue forms had been a painful and sensitive topic
