[You're Doughael] [𝚂𝚝. 𝙿𝚊𝚜𝚝𝚛𝚢 𝙾𝚛𝚍𝚎𝚛] There was commotion near the cathedral, devotees worrying and some stood still in shock. There stood an angel-like Cookie near the open gates of the graveyard.

"Do you see that? Someone is approaching... Is that... a Cookie?"

Worried devotees whispered to eachother, baffled. One confused memeber uttered, scrutinizing the new face infront of them all.

"That staff.. Their Eminence!?"

Many were to reply. There was no chance it was Their Eminence!

"But... How can it be?! Everyone saw Their Eminence disappear that day! No one has ever returned from the Rift...!"

"If it's not Their Eminence, how did they get that staff...?!"

Suddenly, a voice made itself known, coming from infront of the building,

"Everyone, please cease this commotion. This sacred cathedral is a place of quiet and contemplation in service to our Godly Creators."

Menthol Cookie firmly spoke, Seltzer Cookie following soon after.

"Yes, hush now! While I do understand your suprise— a lone traveler visiting our temple is a rare sight, indeed— but you must calm down. Let US greet this seeker."

Her voice sweet yet slightly scolding. The two slowly approached, coming face to face with the figure. Seltzer Cookie's eyes widened slightly, bringing her clasped hands to her chest. She murmured,

"No... way! Could this really be... Their Emminence...?"

She looked at Menthol Cookie briefly, seeking reassurance. He seemed quite shocked himself.

"Brother Menthol Cookie, do you believe this Cookie to be... Their Eminence High Forkbearer?"

"Y-Yes, I believe so, Sister Seltzer Cookie...!"

Menthol Cookie replied, his voice slightly hushed. He spoke up, questioning the Cookie.

"Your Eminence...! Is it truly you, Your Emminence...?!"

Devotees yelled in hushed whispers, in awe,

"So it's true...? Their Eminence... has returned?!"

"Could that really be the High Forkbearer...? Something is not right..."

They all went silent, watching Their possibly Eminence about to speak.
