#saint lily dragon cookie

[cookiesrunaus-whitelily]

I read one of your posts and I'm curious.

Was Royal Margarine part of the ones Lily cared for?

And was Clotted Cream also a descendant of Lily's kingdom?

Well here are the answers.

First, yep, the tribe Royal Margarine belongs to was born in the Saint Kingdom, that's why they don't hunt dragons and are more flexible with dragons, because Saint Lily Dragon Cookie taught their ancestors how to do it and they unknowingly follow her example to this day.

And for the second one.

Clotted Cream was born in the Saint Kingdom and was blessed by the queen as a gift, Clotted Cream was still a baby to remember that he was in that kingdom and thinks that he was born in the Vanilla Kingdom.

Light Cream wished so much that his son had grown up in the Saint Kingdom, under the queen's guidance, he could have been so happy.

All I've Ever Wanted - Beast Ancients AU

[brittle-doughie]

Grass is Greener: Part 1

Green can be a creative color!

“YOU’RE IN MY WAY!”

“Watch where you swing that mace!”

“That bee is strong! I don’t know how long I can continue dodging or blocking it!”

“At this rate, we’ll all be hurt!”

“But we can’t attack the forest..what should we do…”

“Do you have anything better then us becoming crumbs?”

The group of cookies could only deflect or dodge the attacks of the forest monsters for so long before they’re all pushed back into a small circle. Blue Lily didn’t look too bothered from the situation.

“Actually, we do.”

“Blue Lily Cookie?”

“Well if you have a plan, do it now! They’re getting closer!”

“We’re in their part of the forest, there’s nothing to worry about.”

“Who are you talking about?! SPIT IT OUT!”

The monsters were upon them, ready to strike the cookies down until they’re nothing but crumbs..until they hear the faint sound of a bell chiming

This…stopped the monsters attacking? Almost like in a trance, they stopped whatever they doing, turned and headed towards the direction of the bell chiming. Up upon a tree, was a cookie with a bell in their hand, ringing.

“Who is that?!”

“That..is Y/N Cookie. The Saint/ness of the Forest, we have known them for a long time!”

“They prefer to stay out here in the forest in case outsiders ever wandered too deep. They help guide them out to safety which is generous of them to do, so treat them with respect.”

“I could’ve taken all of them…”

“They didn’t have to help you, be grateful.”

“Sooo…can they help us reach the tree? They look like they can get us through any obstacle easy-peasy!”

“Hah, they have better things to attend to then come and help outsiders like all of you the whole time

You didn’t mind at all!

You announced as you dropped down from the tree, a final chime from your bell sending the monsters away as they returned into the forest.

“Hmm, their soul shines brightly…”

“Awesome, with Y/N Cookie here, we’ll get to the Millennial Tree in no time!”’

“Please, Y/N Cookie, you shouldn’t let these outsiders take up your time, let us take care of them.”

You’re afraid you can’t do that, you never turn a blind eye to cookies in need, plus Lilybell is clinging to your body.

It then shows Lilybell hugging your waist, clearly happy to see you!

“Y/N Cookie, please come with us! It’s been a while since we’ve seen each other!”

“Lilybell, not like this in front of outsiders…”

Oh please, Blue Lily. She also acted like this when no one was around.

“Y/N Cookie!”

Blue Lily’s face turned a complete red.

Haha! You were only teasing her. Now what was it again? These cookies needed to get to the tree?

“Yes, we do! We need to talk to them about Longan Dragon Cookie turning cookies to stone!”

Longan Dragon Cookie…you knew you’d hear about them again…

That sounds horrible, if that’s what is going on, then you’ll help them towards the tree. Perhaps he could have a solution.

Pomegranate bowed her head, surprising Licorice.

“It would be an honor to have a cookie worthy of the branches guiding us. If you could help us reach the tree, we shall achieve our wishes…together.”

“Pomegranate, are you okay?”

“I sense their energy…it’s..genuine and authentic. It’s of the most importance that we go along with them.”

“If you say so, whatever gets us to the tree faster! I still think you’re going too easy on this Y/N Cookie.”

“In due time, you’ll see it too…”

[crkstuffidk]

So in my boredom I could've been building more Lore for my current au, or even atleast thinking of Redesign ideas for Fire Spirit, but did I do either of those things? Not at all, infact I made another au where a what if the beasts and ancients swapped, in this the Ancients corrupted soul jams are the opposite of the beasts original virtues. Anyways here their new names and info I guess about them.

Pure Vanilla and the Light Of Truth became Immoral Saint Vanilla or just Immoral Vanilla and Force of Ignorance. He literally just doesn't do anything to help cookies anymore or just chooses to be unaware, and usually is laughing as he watches his friends torture innocents. He's a 'great' guy though.

Dark Cacao and the Light Of Resolution became Berserker of the North or The North Berserker and Force of Prohibition/Restraint I cant decide which one sounds better. He is probably the one that tortures the innocents the most, and he relishes in it, usually killing them slow and painfully.

Hollyberry and the Light Of Passion became Toxic Yewberry and Force of Misery. She's often called insane by cookies, she does end up 'befriending' Pitaya Dragon but instead of them becoming nicer and more tolerant to cookies, together they cause misery to not only her Kingdom, but also any cookies that try to stand in her way. She has no clue what to do about her son, daughter-in-law, and grandkids though, currently she keeps them alive just to have them watch the misery she causes.

Golden Cheese and the Light Of Abundance become Dreadful cheese and the Force of Constance. Her Kingdom is set in the old times just like the others rather than having technology and that stuff, she also tends to keep everything the same, and if one of her residents die, thats the only time she'd allow change to happen but she's certainly annoyed by it. Like Pure Vanilla she doesn't do anything but dare someone question her role, they don't die but are instead thrown into a dungeon, unless of course the person questioning her is one of her very important staff members then they just get turned into a golden statue where they remain for who knows how long, usually until Dreadful Gold needs them specifically for something.

White Lily and the Light Of Freedom become Wilted Faerie and Force of Dissension. She refuses to see any of her 'friends' If she even dare call them that, and instead stays in the Faerie Kingdom where the remaining faeries that haven't died from questioning her abide every word she says, which usually means no having conversations with the other faeries unless it's needed for one of their assigned jobs, if they talk about anything else she would usually cause flowers to bloom in their mouths muting them entirely only able to be removed if they are plucked out, but the flowers don't let anyone besides her touch them, so if they are plucked out its if she wants them to and only if she wants them to. Yes they can breath and eat with the flowers, as it's only in their mouths and there's gaps within the flowers that allows them too, Wilted Faerie hates seeing bodies of cookies in her kingdom as it ruins the appeal of the Silver kingdom, so she is extremely strategic with the punishments of the faeries, if too many bloom causing restriction of airflow or being able to eat she'll pluck some out. Side note: I got a bit disturbed writing this but I think it makes sense with her in-game powers.

Yes the Corrupted ancients get sealed in the silver tree just like the beasts did, and also the ancients lived in beast-yeast just like the beasts did, the beasts or now called Divine Saviors live in Crispia. Wilted Faerie is now being kept in imprisonment by her citizens and probably can still see or atleast hear when Elder Faerie gets named the title of king now.

Now onto the beasts who are called the Divine Saviors. Side note: I came up with the other beasts Pre Corruption names today which is why I didn't use them in my last post with pre corruption beasts. But Shadowmilks I made a post of earlier, anyways let's get started on them.

Shadow Milk and the Power Of Deceit went back to being Myrtille Milk and the Virtue Of Knowledge. He lives where the Dark Cacao Kingdom is in the game, He's generally a great leader, sometimes has his nose in books to much but generally he's a great guy. On occasion he does put on shows for the youth of the Berrymilk kingdom. side note: I was almost tempted to name it the berries and cream Kingdom, or the Milky Kingdom. Anyways he's pretty great, and quite protective of his friends. meaning the crap Clotted Cream pulled on the ancients in game ain't going to go well if he pulls that crap with the Divine Saviors as they all are extremely protective of eachother. Yes he fought the two dragons and also the prowler, well he more of tamed the prowler.

Burning Spice and the Power Of Destruction went back to being Calming Spice and the Virtue Of Change, He lives where Golden Cheese used to, and like in GCs kingdom in game it has technology the other kingdoms don't have yet. He's a very relaxed ruler, his name is literally Calming Spice what would you expect. Again he's protective of his friends and would lose his cool if Clotted Cream pulled the crap he did in Cookie Odyssey. The Golden Kingdom is called The Kingdom Of Spice in this AU

Eternal Sugar and the Power Of Sloth go back to being Ethereal Sugar and the Virtue Of Happiness. Her Kingdom is where Hollyberrys is in game but now it's called The Ethereal Kingdom of Paradise(long names for the kingdoms is common in this AU) She's an amazing leader and almost everyday will visit the orphanages I'm her kingdom and sing the orphans lullabies while she flies just slightly above the ground with them in her arms, side note: the orphanages are pretty great in her kingdom and take amazing care of the orphans. The same as the others she protective of her friends and would be the one to probably throw herself at Clotted Cream just like Dark Cacao.

Mystic Flour and the Power Of Apathy went back to being Serene Flour and the Virtue Of Volition. She'd be in the same place as Hollyberry in Cookie Odyssey, meaning she holds Ethereal Sugar back from attacking Clotted cream, although she feels the same way she just doesn't want violence. Her Kingdom is where the Vanilla Kingdom is, its called The Kingdom of Flowing Flour. She is notorious for healing in her kingdom and is known to be an extremely doting queen.

Silent Salt and the Power Of Silence went back to being Noble Salt and the Virtue Of Solidarity. He lives nowhere in particular, he usually travels around a lot, but usually stays around where Blueberry Yogurt Academy is in game, it isn't named anything different because in this AU it was created after Myrtille Milk became king, and MM actually Created it with Blueberry Yogurt for the future Healers/Magic users Noble Salt also occasionally lives with MM usually only during Winter until spring comes along and he can continue exploring.

Other honorable mentions for this AU: 1st of all, since Creme Republic isn't necessarily tied to any Kingdom it and the residents of it stayed the same hence why Clotted Cream is still an annoying cookie. 2ndly, so far I haven't yet made the decision if Noble Salt becomes whatever this AUs Dark Enchantress will be called, so currently every things very sunshine and rainbows. 3rd of all, Parfaedia is a college in this au, and BYA is like an Elementary/Middle school, maybe even High School(don't ask how Cream Puff is in Parfaedia then in this au, I haven't thought about that much). And lastly(for now) Burning Spice x Shadowmilk and Eternal Sugar x Mystic Flour are generally Canon in this AU so are Golden cheese x Hollyberry and Pure Vanilla x Dark Cacao, White Lily is a grumpy women that hates literally everyone so she aint going to be in a relationship in this Au, and Silent Salt is too busy exploring to feel the loneliness of not having a partner plus hes got friends that are in relationships and hes perfectly happy with being their third wheels on occasion, but I probably won't mention the relationships much because this AU is still very much a rough draft or whatever you want to call it. Anyways I'll probably work on the other AU or Fire Spirits redesign later.

The Runaway: The Awakened Monarch of Old

(So sorry for not writing for a few weeks, i was on a cruise trip for seven days and had enough time to cook up a new little part. Now i understand Milk Choco not going for Divine Goddess first might’ve not made sense but, i’m not changing it because fuck it we ball and we die like men)

To @cuppajj , i’d like to formerly apologize for not posting in ages LMA-

(story in the under cut)

It was quiet and awkward. 

The two just stared at each other, with both confused and annoyed expressions. 

“White Cocoa…” Milk Choco almost stared off in awe. She doesn’t remember the last time she’d seen the other…In the dough, let alone..

She bowed a bit, being stopped by the silence being broken by the old monarch.

‘There’s no need for that formality, My dear..I’ve never been woken up so early in the season…What is the matter?’

The other, a woman with chocolate dough and pearl white moonlight hair, stared, stretching, groaning after seemingly cracking her back.

“Madame…There is not much time…Do you know what has happened to your son…? He’s…he’s changed for the worse..him and his friends are out for blood and are seeking to own all of Earthbread, The Holy Saint…The Dragon Mother…Midnight Lily…The Goddess of Greed…—“

The other would listen while stepping out of her resting place. 

‘You say my son has gone rogue..along with his friends? That’s..’ She’d linger…her face drained of its color. How…how could this be…? He swore to protect everyone…To be the best king that would ever rule these lands for centuries to come..promised to handle the soul jam well…Had he gone back on his words?

‘I see…Then this is why i have been summoned?’

“…We need you and your friends help to take them down and restore them all to their formal glory…return them to normal..But i’m afraid that it’s not possible….”

‘The idea  of killing our own children…I…I never thought that it would come to this. Very well, let us go. Every minute is valuable, if what you say is true.’ 

Both women get to the small temple after white cocoa would adjust her dress and sword, holding the glimmering souljam of resolution. They could hear the faint stomping of thick boots, coming from the guards. Someone must have taken note of the walls tampering, and was on the hunt for whoever was responsible. 

White Cocoa inched out first, quickly covering Milk Choco, attempting to conceal her. Both managed to escape the same way they came. 

They reached the snow and ran as fast as their feet would take them. White Cocoa looked back to yelling, seeing the shadows of guards leaving the gate to come after them, even the worn king of old sovereignty. 

He only stared…with seemingly dead and dull eyes, Eyes that had once looked up to her, full of adventure and courage. Then he disappeared below the walls railing, and she caught up with Milk Choco where she and crunchy were before. He managed to reach his wolves, having been pampering them and having them scout while the two were gone.

[…Milk Choco…I heard the guards. D you make it out okay? And..Madam…It is an honor to meet you.] He’d stop pampering one of the smaller wolves of the pack, slowly standing. 

“With a few scratches and possibly a torn shoulder or calf, I’m in perfect health.” She stretched her arm a bit, sucking her teeth. 

‘My son may have eyes on us now, and no need for the flattery, Crunchy Chip Cookie. Let us get going, before we get ambushed, I need to know all the details about what exactly is happening.’ She’d look back, pulling her cape closer in an attempt to conceal herself. 

[Of course my lady, however…] He’d trail off, almost being hesitant.

‘What is it?’

[…Im not sure..I’m just thinking..about the king.]

‘I’m…I’m just as shocked and mortified as you are…as the phrase goes..’

‘A loss of words, I felt the color drain from my face…’

[I see…Let us get going, as you suggested…I would rather not be here when the tundra becomes a hunting ground, where we are the prey or target.]

‘Very well, this way. I know a concealed shortcut we can use.’

The three traveled through some underbrush, disappearing into the winter winds. 

When they left, A group appeared where they stood, quiet. It was what seemed to be a couple of Cacao’s men, and standing in-front of them all, was a taller man, seemingly older than the rest, a pointy headpiece and shoulder pads to match, a cape dragging along the ground, just barely touching it. 

He huffed, sighing while quietly staring out into the distance. 

{Mother…I shall return you to your resting place. I simply…cannot allow you to be around.}

[karol-chan-art]

I saw some people I follow do this "What if" thing where their OCs/fankids are in @cuppajj 's Beast Ancients AU and I decided to join in the fun!

I think I'm gonna just do my fankids who are related to the ancients though because HAHA I have WAYYY too many-

Vanilla Roguefort Cookie

Status- Deceased

She and her siblings were in the Vanilla Kingdom when Saint Vanilla happened, unfortunately she couldn't run fast enough to escape from being "purified"..

Langsat Dragon Cookie

Status- Deceased

After Vanilla Roguefort's "purification", he decided to confront Saint Vanilla alone to buy some time for his remaining sibling to escape. He sadly didn't make it out alive and in the end was "purified" aswell..

Pure Passionfruit Cookie

Status- Alive

If watching their younger sister be "purified" wasn't enough, their own older brother sacrificed himself for them to escape, now they're all alone and wandering Earthbread to look for a safe place to take refuge.

Red Pear Dragon Cookie

Status- Alive

Since Red Pear is quite easily influenced, they never questioned why the Red Dragon, Pitaya, had been shackled and studied underneath the castle. They just believe whatever is happening will be over soon and does everything Dragonberry tells them to without a single question or hesitation.

Acerola Dragon Cookie

Status- Alive

Unlike his younger sibling, he's not as easily influenced, but still does everything Dragonberry tells him to. He often sneaks to the castle underground to talk to Pitaya whenever there aren't many cookies around, he firmly believes he won't be caught anytime soon.

Tarte Choco Cookie

Status- Deceased

She was peacefully asleep when the entire kingdom started freezing, she was unnaware and froze without even having time to wake up..

Zuccotto Cookie

Status- Deceased

He tried to rebel against Celestial Cheese, which in the end resulted in him being turned into a golden statue right in front of his younger sisters as an example to them..

Golden Pearl Cookie

Status- Alive

Seeing her older brother being turned into gold, she made sure to give all her devotion. She never once made a mistake or went against Celestial Cheese since then, living in fear of being turned into gold if she did.

Charcoal Cheese Cookie

Status- Alive

She visits her brother daily, never missing a single day. The day her brother was turned into a golden statue was extremely traumatizing for her, she rarely talks, eats, or sleeps.

Night Sky Petunia Cookie

Status- Alive

Very loyal to Midnight Lily, never once even questioned her leadership, though she misses her old self very much.

Moonflower Cookie

Status- Alive

She misses Midnight Lily's old self as much as her sister does, yet she faithfully stands at her side due to fearing whatever would she do if she stepped out of it. She has no clue what the Beast of Sovereignty can do..

[vxlentinescookies]

Do you have a favorite Cookie Run costume? From Ovenbreak and Kingdom

Hmm, from Ovenbreak I know my favorite is uh, the Saint Valentine's costume for Timekeeper, and the Ruler of Ephemeral Flow; meanwhile for Kingdom, I really like Dark Cacao's Vanquisher of the Two Dragons and Moonflower Faerie for White Lily hehe

Title: an unexpected dragon    

Fandom: Trash of the Count’s Family Characters: Cale Henituse, Raon Miru, On, Hong, Basen Hentiuse

Summary:   “Have you been…” Whatever question Basen had been about to ask was forgotten as he suddenly noticed Raon sitting next to Cale on the couch, still munching on cookies. For a moment he just stared, his brain trying to comprehend what he was seeing, before finally opening his mouth.“Hyung-nim?” He questioned, his voice an octave higher than usual. “Is that a dragon?”

For tcf week day 7 Prompt: Home

There’s no place like home, it was was a phrase Cale had heard multiple times but had never really understood during his life as Kim Rok Soo; as an orphan with no one who really cared for him, the word home hadn't ever really meant anything other than the place you headed back to at the end of the day. There was an irony in the fact that it had taken coming to a different world and becoming a member of a family that technically wasn’t really his, for him to finally get what people meant by that; sitting in his room in the Henituse estate, the children averaging nine beside him, he felt more relaxed than he had in a long while.

 Of course it wasn’t like his mind was totally free of worries, and truth be told he’d have preferred to be in the villa, but still there was a sense of peace that had been missing in recent months.  He hadn’t really had any down time for over half a year, not unless he counted the times he was unconscious, which he had been sternly told he wasn’t allowed to do; and he had sorely been in need of it. Of course he only had a week to spare, then he’d be back to running all over the place again, but for the time being he could just relax.

 Watching On and Hong chase each other around the room while Raon stuffed his face with cookies, he decided the break was probably good for the kids as well; because of how skilled they were it could sometimes be easy to forget their age, but they were still children and deserved chances to act like it. Maybe later he'd take them out into town and buy them stuff, that is if they'd let him. For some reason they frequently protested when he spoiled them too much, weren’t kids supposed to like free stuff?

 He'd have to wait to do that though, it had been late when he and the others had arrived and they'd been sent off to bed after only a small amount of socializing on the orders of Duchess Henituse, who'd said they looked exhausted. Now that it was morning though, he fully expected his family members to come seek him out.  

 Almost as if on cue there was a knock upon his door, followed by his brother's voice.

 "Hyung-nim, may I come in?” Basen questioned.

 “Go ahead.” Cale answered, glancing over at Raon as he spoke; normally by this time Raon would have already turned invisible however Cale had spoken with him earlier and told him not to, it was about time he let his family know of the dragon’s existence.

 The door to his room opened and Basen walked in, a soft smile on his face as he caught sight of his brother, though they’d exchanged words briefly the night before, it had been quite a while since they’d been able to sit and have a conversation.

 “You look like you’ve been well.” Cale commented, looking Basen up and down; he couldn't be certain, but it looked like his brother had gotten a little taller since he’d last been home. He was really growing up to be a fine young man.

 “Mhm, things have been easy here, so life has been rather stress free.” Basen told him, taking a moment to carefully examine his older brother; even if he hadn’t known some of the details of what Cale had been up to recently, it wouldn’t be hard to tell that things hadn’t been as easy for Cale as they were for the rest of Henituse’s. He looked tired and worn, like he was being stretched too thin; Basen wondered just how far he’d be able to stretch before he snapped.

 He wished there was more he could do to help his brother, but the most he could do was to continue learning to be the next Duke so that he could one day take up the title like Cale wanted him to do. He still thought his brother would do a better job then him at it of course, but Cale had already done so much, he deserved to be able to rest and not have to take up more responsibility.

 “Have you been…” Whatever question Basen had been about to ask was forgotten as he suddenly noticed Raon sitting next to Cale on the couch, still munching on cookies. For a moment he just stared, his brain trying to comprehend what he was seeing, before finally opening his mouth  .

 “Hyung-nim?” He questioned, his voice an octave higher than usual. “Is that a dragon?”

 “Yeah.” Truth be told, Cale was enjoying the situation more than he probably should, he thought Alberu’s reaction to finding out about Raon was the most entertaining, but Basen’s was definitely in the top three. Raon seemed to be enjoying the situation as well, though most likely for different reasons than Cale was; the chubby baby dragon had shoved the rest of his cookie into his mouth and happily flown towards Basen to introduce himself.

 “I’m the great and mighty Raon Miru and I’m six years old!” Cale wasn’t really sure why Raon always seemed to feel the need to tell people his age, but it was part of his normal introduction.

 “Ah, nice to meet you.” Basen told Raon after a split second of hesitation, he’d been raised to have manners, so there was no way he would ignore a greeting just because he was confused about the situation. The short greeting seemed to be enough to satisfy the dragon, and he flew back towards the couch and his snacks.

 “So...when did you meet a dragon?” Basen questioned, an uncertain expression on his face. It was understandable of course, most people wouldn't know how to react if their sibling suddenly revealed he’d been hanging around with a dragon; unfortunately, Cale might be about to make things worse.

 “Hmm, it’s been two, almost three years.” Cale’s voice was even as he spoke, but inside he felt a bit sheepish; three years was a long time to have kept such a secret, hopefully Basen wouldn't feel too hurt by it. As he’d expected his brother's eyes widened in surprise upon hearing how long it had been, but then a considerate expression appeared on his face.

 “I suppose it would have been rather dangerous for people to know there was a baby dragon, there are a lot of people who’d probably want to try and capture him, you must have been protecting him.”

 “Mhhm.” Truth be told Cale felt a little bit awkward currently, it was true that he’d kept Raon’s existence secret from most people in order to protect him, but the main reason he’d never told his family for so long was simply because he’d forgotten they didn’t know. Every once and a while he’d remember about it, but it had never been during a time when he was able to do anything about it, not until now; and yet there his little brother was looking at him with shining eyes like he was some saint for keeping Raon hidden.

 “I feel like I should ask if you have any more secrets to share.” His brother’s tone was joking but Cale decided to take advantage of the opportunity it provided him.

 “On and Hong are from the Cat Tribe.” It was fortunate that Basen, who’d moved to sit in a chair across from Cale, hadn’t been eating or drinking anything or he probably would have choked on it. He hadn’t seriously thought that Cale had any other secrets to share, and honestly he would have suspected his brother might be messing with him if it wasn’t for the amused look on the faces of the kittens that had climbed up onto Cale’s lap.

 “Hah, you really like surprising people hyung-nim.” Basen sighed, his brother always seemed to have something up his sleeve no matter the situation; most of the time he’d admired his ability to do that, but not so much when he himself was one of the people caught off guard by it.  Still he was grateful Cale had told him, there was so much going on in his brother’s life, to be trusted with even just some of his secrets meant a lot.

 He hadn’t sought out his brother this morning with the intention to learn secrets though, and so Basen decided to move on to the reason he had come.

 “How long will you be home for?” He knew it was unlikely Cale would be able to stay for long, but he was hoping that they’d have some time to do things as a family.

 “Only for a week.” Cale told him, “There’s still a lot that needs to be done.”

 Basen thought his brother sounded rather depressed by the notion of how much still needed to be done, just how much was resting on the other’s shoulders?

 “Lily’s been talking about wanting to have a picnic.” He stated, hoping to distract and cheer up Cale. “Since you’re home this would be a good time to have it, don’t you think?” His words earned a soft smile from his brother,

 “That would be nice.” Cale agreed, before his smile turned into a frown as he looked at Raon. At first Basen thought he must be worried about whether or not to take the dragon with him if a picnic did happen, but then he let out a sign and pulled a handkerchief out of his pocket, using it to wipe away crumbs from Raon’s mouth.

 “Try and eat a little more neatly.” He scolded the dragon before looking up to see Basen staring at him. “I really need to leave the three of them with Mother to learn some manners.”

 Basen wasn’t really sure whether that statement was meant as an explanation for him or a threat for the children, but On, Hong and Raon’s heads all whipped around to stare at Cale, betrayed expressions of their faces. It took great effort not to laugh out loud at the sight, though he still couldn’t stop a small snicker from escaping, which he quickly covered with a cough.

 “Do mother and father know about On, Hong and Raon?” Basen asked, as the thought suddenly occurred to him. Cale shook his head in response.

 “I plan to tell them while I’m here.” Basen would be lying if he said he wasn’t happy to know that he was the first to find out, though he did realize it was probably only because he had been the first to seek out Cale; still, even if it wasn’t just for a short while it was fun to think there was a secret that only he knew.

  “Well, I’m sure they’ll be happy to find out they have grandchildren.” He assured his brother and watched with more enjoyment than he probably should have as he almost choked on his tea. Cale wasn't the only one who could catch people off guard.

So why does Grey Pearl live in the Republic? And does she have any relationship with Cookies outside Lily, either good or bad?

Well, here's another important and slightly traumatic detail.

Lily's palace, where many cookies and so on lived… was destroyed by Dark Enchantress before going to the Vanilla Kingdom.

Those who escaped were very few, among them were Light Cream, Grand Madeleine, Grey Pearl and some of the tribe that Royal Margarine belonged to (maybe I'll explain this later).

And yes, that means that Golden Cheese Kingdom is safe.

Those who did not escape are under a special spell, their bodies were turned into butterflies that now reside in the ruins.

Grey Pearl escaped through the sea, her imposed punishment prevented her from swimming fast, so she just let herself be dragged by the current and was swept into the depths of the sea, there she screamed and cried as much as she could knowing that Lily was dead, she lamented for not saving her.

When she finished crying and lamenting, she slowly crawled through the waters, it took her a long time before she found dry land, luckily the current guided her towards the newly formed republic.

There she saw Light Cream and Grand Madeleine again, since then the three of them have remained close and talk about the future of the republic and Dark Enchantress, the three of them are still loyal only to Lily.

What if the ancients also corrupted and became beasts, and it's one great cycle of futility?

some info on the beast ancients:

Saint Vanilla Cookie, after deducing that the horrors and cruelty of the world are caused by the darkness in cookies' dough, formed a messiah complex. Believing he is the only one who can save Earthbread, his extreme compassion for the happiness of cookies has made him an angel of death; though he believes he is purifying those he touches, he believes their cries of pain from their disintegrating bodies are simply a part of the healing process. He has brought his willing followers to salvation, and seeks to do the same for all of cookiekind.

Midnight Lily Cookie became the new monarch of the Faerie Kingdom after the death of Elder Faerie Cookie. When she turned to the path of darkness, her fiercely loyal subjects followed with her, sworn to protect her at all costs. While she holds no ambitions for conquest, she has vowed to assert the influence of her kingdom across Beast Yeast on her own terms, and to put an end to the false enchantress who shares her being.

Dragonberry Cookie reinstated herself as the monarch of her kingdom, keeping the royal family under her thumb and influence. Her passion for strength and combat drew her attention to the Red Dragon, whose power became her obsession. Now, she seeks to know how to become a great beast herself, and will do anything to achieve it; even keeping the Red Dragon shackled underneath the castle as it’s studied day in and day out.

Frigid Cacao Cookie learned to tame the Licorice Sea that had threatened his kingdom for eons; however, something of either his design or an external force led to the entire Cacao Kingdom freezing over. Cacao sat idly by as this happened, unmoving from his great throne with his head slouched and eyes unreadable. He has resigned himself to extreme solitude, but the swirling black ocean does his bidding in his favor.

Celestial Cheese Cookie never moved on from the truth. In fact, she chose to build everything from the ground up. How wonderful! She can bring her grand design to Earthbread itself, sharing her brilliance with all of cookiekind. Of course forging a new empire will come with resistance, but she is well prepared. For the devout, they will be graciously rewarded; the dissenters will become decorations. With the ability to summon as many arms as she needs, she can turn anything to gold with a simple touch.

With five new Beasts loose on earthbread, the fight to save it has become much, much harder…

Set up an altar, serve them cakes, and let them know they are not forgotten. If you wish to communicate with deceased friends and family, this is the best time of year. The veil thins the night of Samhain, making communication easy. Do NOT, however, entice spirits, disrespect them, call demons, or perform any other magic that is anything less than respectful. I repeat, don't do it. Samhain is also a great time to practice divination in the form of runes, scrying, tarot, tea readings, etc. Reflect over the previous year and perform blessing spells to ring in the new year. Astral projection and lucid dreaming is also much easier to perform on this night, but remember to be safe, Banishing magic, especially those for bad habits, are especially strong on this night. Please note this is not a complete list but a brief overview of symbols, colors, herbs, deities, and the like. _______

. Obsessive Impulsive . 4

Full Summary: “‘I’ve been trying to find you alone for weeks, but you’ve been avoiding me.’  He clicked his tongue, as if scolding her.  'I tried approaching, but you always had someone with you to give me nasty words and looks.  They turned you against me, Miss Levy.’"

Pairings: Gajeel x Levy

Warnings: I strode for a darker fic again.  This is not for sensitive readers.  Violence, stalking, etc.  

Author’s Note: This is a very, very twisted gift for Bubbles, who has not been allowed to so much as read a single chapter.  This will update every other day. 

The next few days were fairly peaceful. Levy spent much of her time with Gajeel, learning his language. He was a damn good teacher, much to her surprise, patient and repeating anything she needed. He told her that he wanted her speaking fluently before they even started on writing and reading. Apparently the writing was mostly in symbols and he said it would be near impossible for her to learn all of them.

The rest of the guild gave up on teasing them after the first two days and went back to normal life, Levy was relieved to notice. Lucy still came around to playfully make small comments, but that was it. Jet and Droy came home from their job and Levy eagerly listened to every word of the stories they gave her as they ate lunch after coming in. While she'd begun to hang out with them less, she still loved them fiercely and she was glad to see that they were doing well on their missions without her to keep them focused.

When they were done with their story, Levy smiled kindly and gave them the proper praise before making a face and saying, "I'm almost done with my translations, which means I'll have to go to him."

They knew who she meant instantly.

"Him" was a very well-known librarian and archaeologist that worked closely with the Council. She was to submit her work to him, which meant she'd lose most of her credibility. Luckily, the amused members of the Council - mainly one older man in particularly - recognized her work and sent nice pay.

"Don't worry, Levy," Jet reassured, biting into a piece of chicken. "At least they promised this would be the last job they had for you for the next month or so."

Levy glared at him and he grinned as Droy chuckled. "Not helpful," she grumbled. Yawning, she stretched and then sighed. "I better get home. I need to pack a bag and then head out for the train first thing in the morning." She checked the guildhall with a frown. "I was hoping I could tell Gajeel I won't be here tomorrow for our little language sessions, but…"

"I heard about that." Droy blinked. "You've been taking lessons from him, right?"

"Gajeel?" Jet rolled his eyes. "Seriously?"

Levy shot him a sharp look. "Yes. Gajeel. He's been teaching me the language of the dragons. Don't you dare get rude, Jet."

She loved him. She really did. But Jet had never really moved on from what Gajeel had done, not like she and Droy. It drove her crazy sometimes, even if she understood where he was coming from. She only got onto him when he was particularly rude.

He waved her off without concern. "I'm not saying anything, Levy. Just be careful on your travels, okay?"

Levy was surprised. "You don't want to come?" Usually they begged.

"Nah," Droy told her. "We're tired. The job we took was really tiring. If we'd known what it took, we'd have passed it off and taken a different one."

Levy gave him a sympathetic look. "Sorry, then. I guess I'll be back tomorrow evening or so. Will you let Gajeel know that I'm leaving?"

"I guess," Jet sighed. When she scowled, he winked. "Just kidding. Yeah, we'll let him know."

"Thanks, Jet," Levy said gratefully. She playfully wiggled her fingers at Droy and gathered up the last of her translations and shoved them into her bag. Making sure she had everything, she called a goodbye to Lucy and headed out.

The librarian-archaeologist wasn't as annoying as he usually was, much to Levy's relief, and even shortened the trip by letting her help him organize and explain to the Council what she'd translated. Levy was delighted to receive her pay and praise from one of the Wizard Saints, a tree-looking man with a kind look in his eyes.

When she was done, she headed home from Crocus.

Just as she'd told her friends, she was back in Magnolia by evening. Levy eyed her bag thoughtfully and shrugged, shouldering it. She'd take it with her so she could stop by the guildhall that evening. It wasn't that heavy outside of a book or two that she probably hadn't needed. One can't be too careful with books, after all!

Levy stepped out of the train station just as the clock struck six, her hazel eyes sparkling.

The sparkle went away when she ran into someone. She cursed under her breath, agitated. She just wanted to go home-

"Oh!" the person gasped. "Miss Levy! I didn't know you were here!"

For some reason, Levy's blood ran cold. Yet she forced a smile to her face. "Hello, Elroy," she said with barely concealed irritation. Her smile was icey. "What are you doing in Magnolia?"

He looked flustered, excited that she'd remembered him though Levy couldn't for the life of her figure out why. She was clearly and blatantly not interested in him! "Passing through," he said nonchalantly, hastily waving his reasons off. "What about you?"

She arched a brow. "My guild's here. I live in Magnolia."

He laughed. "I forgot that Fairy Tail was based here," he admitted and then gave her a beaming smile. Before, it would have made her smile back. After his comment about Gajeel...who she kind of wished was around. Or Laxus. Laxus would be good and intimidating. Even Lucy would be nice to have around. Even Happy. Or Asuka.

Forcing herself to be pleasant, Levy cleared her throat. "Excuse me, Elroy, but I need to head back to my guildhall. I have friends waiting on me." And safety from the nuisance presented before her.

Shyly, he rubbed the back of his head. "Right, sorry," Elroy murmured. "It was nice seeing you again, Miss Levy!"

"Likewise," she offered. She gave him one final forced smile before starting past him. She stopped when he called "Miss Levy!" again. She glanced back, waiting impatiently for him to speak.

"Can I walk you to your guildhall?" he asked.

"No," she said gently, "I like to have time to myself to think. Excuse me, Elroy." She started forward again, huffing softly under her breath as she went.

When she arrived at the guild, she was greeted warmly by first and foremost Lily. The Exceed looked pleased to see her and informed her, "Gajeel's been in a temper since you left. Maybe he'll stop now."

Levy laughed. "I doubt it," she sighed. She smiled at the Exceed. "It's good to see you again, though."

He purred in response. "And you as well," he rumbled. His tail flicked. "How was your work? Droy said that you'd gone to visit some Councilman?"

"A librarian," she corrected. "And an archaeologist. He's the one who takes care of my translations when I'm done with them. I got done a lot sooner than normal because he wasn't as big of a pain in my side as he usually was." She slipped onto a bench, dropping her bag onto the bench beside her. Giving a huge yawn, Levy leaned forward happily on the table. "It went well though."

"Good." Lily climbed onto the table to sit near her, his tail flicking once. "You'll be pleased to know that Gildarts is home. He arrived early this afternoon and said he'd be hanging around for a couple days."

"That's good," Levy said cheerfully. "Cana will be pleased." She caught sight of Wendy waving at her and waved back. "So where's Gajeel? Is he here?"

Lily gave her an amused look. "You really ought to take the man on a date. He's too chicken to ask you himself, I hope you know."

Levy turned a scarlet color. "Lily!" she hissed. "Not you, too! I'm not just going to randomly ask Gajeel out on a date!"

"Why not?" Lily smirked. "He likes you. If you asked him, he'd accept, no questions asked." She sputtered speechlessly and then threw her hands up, glaring. Lily laughed and then rumbled, "He's gone to retrieve silverware. When he figures out you're back, he'll come out of hiding. Mirajane nearly caught him and he's waiting for a better time."

"I've told him thousands of times to not steal silverware," she said in exasperation, smacking a hand to her forehead. She huffed. "I needed to tell him something…" Her cheerful expression suddenly faded and she ran a hand through her hair. "I ran into Elroy."

The cat blanched. "What?" he sputtered. "Where?!"

"Here," she said, lowering her voice. Levy's hazel eyes flashed. "Outside the train station on my way in. He wanted to walk me here. I told him no." She rested her chin on an open palm. "He says he was passing through. I'm not going to say I'm happy he's here, but I mean...Magnolia is a popular spot to pass through. We've got the church and us here. It doesn't surprise me."

"Levy," Lily warned, "please. Be careful. He's far too attached for someone who just met you."

Levy waved him off. "I'll handle it," she told him. "He's just annoying. Not aggressive or anything. I'm going to let you tell Gajeel now that you know-"

"Tell me what?"

"Gajeel!" Levy said cheerfully, turning slightly to look over her shoulder at the iron mage who had appeared behind her, arms crossed. He gave her a long suspicious look from piercing crimson eyes, distrustful. Grimacing, she admitted, "On my way out of the train station to head to the guildhall, I ran into Elroy."

His eyes flashed and a low sound rumbled in his throat. Levy remembered him saying that low sounds like that were usually meant in affection or sheer anger. She guessed it was the latter rather than the former in this case.

"Fucker," Gajeel spat much to her chagrin.

"Gajeel," she protested. "Watch your language! Asuka's here!"

He grunted and looked over his shoulder, shoving a fork into his mouth as if it was a cookie. Levy caught sight of Mirajane giving him a death glare - for the swear and for the fork. He looked her in the eye and chomped down before glaring and dropping onto the bench far closer than he normally would have.

Levy stifled laughter when Mirajane's anger disappeared, replaced by sparkling eyes. "Trickster," she mused, tapping her fingers on the table.

"I ain't in the mood for the she-devil," he grunted and then looked back at her. "He pester you?"

"Elroy?" she questioned. He nodded and Lily watched him carefully. "Nah. Just asked if he could walk me here. I told him no and came straight to the guildhall."

"Good." Gajeel nodded his head sharply. "Have Scarlet walk you back to Fairy Hills."

She huffed. "Why? I can handle the situation, Gajeel."

As if quoting his cat, he replied, "He's too attached. Ain't safe."

"He's not too attached," she sighed, "he's just interested, Gajeel. I'll be fine. Trust me."

Snorting, Gajeel shoved another piece of silverware into his mouth. "It ain't' you I don't trust, shorty."

Levy forwent asking anyone to go with her when it came time to go home. She shouldered her bag and slid out while Gajeel was distracted with a brawl that had broken out - one last one before everyone left for the night. Chuckling under her breath, Levy made her way through the familiar streets of Magnolia.

She had just reached Fairy Hills when a shiver went down her spine. She looked back, gaze searching the darkness, but she found nothing. Shrugging to herself, Levy stepped inside. Erza had left earlier in the evening with Wendy, and it somewhat comforted her to have them in the same building.

Levy easily found her apartment and unlocked the door. While all of the women that lived within the big building trusted one another, it didn't mean someone wouldn't break in, after all.

She ducked inside and then kicked the door shut behind her. She first flicked a light on and then headed into the bathroom after grabbing some clean clothes.

Sinking into the tub, Levy smiled to herself.

It was good to be home.

Grey Pearl design in the republic

I have wanted to do this design for a long time!

Grey Pearl is currently living in the republic in the Lower City.

She is a problematic cookie, who goes around stealing things to give to those living in poverty.

Thanks to her and Light Cream and Grand Madeleine, many cookies started to believe in Saint Lily Dragon Cookie's will.

She adopted Seaweed Cookie and promised her that one day, the queen would take her to the garden of the fallen.

Her knowledge of the sea is very valuable, so much so that many sailors offer her to join their crews just for that.

She and Caviar met in a tavern, it was a good chat but as soon as he spoke about the Oyster House she became defensive.

Captain Caviar was the only one who did not desperately offer him to join his crew.

Whenever Caviar asks for her help, she spends hours on the ship pestering Caviar and at the end, after receiving her pay, she says something about Oyster to annoy him.

She knows that Oyster has her pearl, but she doesn't go for it because she still has things to do.

I'm a Blacaviar fan, don't judge me.
