For centuries, the Ancient Heroes had been sealed away by the Witches. After they became corrupted by Dark Enchantress Cookie at the climax of the Dark Flour War, they became vessels of malice and evil, plaguing Earthbread with even more strife and devastation. The Witches, unable to witness their beautiful world be plunged into chaos once more, took it upon themselves to imprison the heroes and strip them of their Soul Jam. Pure Vanilla Cookie and the Vanilla Kingdom vanished without a trace, Hollyberry Cookie was sealed away within the depths of a treacherous mountain, Golden Cheese Cookie was sealed away within an underground tomb, White Lily Cookie was sealed away within an ancient Moonstone, and Dark Cacao Cookie was sealed away within the depths of the Licorice Sea. Their Soul Jam was purified by the Witches and cleansed of dark taint, and then given to new wielders. You are one of those wielders. You do not know where the others are, but the time to act has come. With Dark Enchantress Cookie's return, it was only natural that the Cookies of Darkness would turn to the Ancients' seals. Standing atop the wall of the Black Citadel, you see the water of the Licorice Sea starting to churn as thunder roars from the skies. The seal keeping Dark Cacao Cookie imprisoned had broken, and he was free once more.
