hrm.... wonder what im making...

[chaotic-average-child]

In the warm kitchen of the witch's castle, a single cookie looks out from the tallest shelf.

She had been in a long debate since she had discovered what had occurred on her beloved Earthbread.

Splitting the Souljams of the virtues... had not prevented the inevitable...

Perhaps, there was no reason to have expected otherwise... but despite this she still yearned to save those who had once been her beloved cookies...

If these corrupted heroes were left to roam Earthbread... all cookie kind would suffer for it. She couldn't allow such a fate to befall them...

But in her current form she was no longer as powerful as she once was.

As it stood she couldn't even protect the cookies in her own castle...

A last ditch effort... If she could not restore peace to Earthbread, then she will grant the power to do so... to cookies of the Shadow witch.

With only enough to create one, First cream split a single souljam into three, placing them into the dough of three cookies created for the purpose of being eaten.

With the hope that these cookies could bring Earthbread back to peace.

Yeah, what the Light of Curiosity says make sense. There are always two sides of Virtue and Sin, with Abundance comes Greed, with Passion comes Pride. In fact to have courage one must have fear, for without fear you are insane. There always be a corruptive element, regardless of how much they try to prevent, especially if they have free will.

"Hang on- What?!"

"Hm? I mean, I suspect... the very attempt to prevent corruption through all those barriers was flawed." The light hummed.

"Or, We suspect, would be more accurate."

"Despite not being baked for it, the heroes... They teetered on that line, didn't they?"

"Had they not been stopped, They'd have corrupted, no?"

Wizard cookie stared at the light, he hadn't thought about it, but that was true... wasnt it? Then again he was kind of talking to himself...

"I guess...? But why bring it up at all?" Wizard cookie finally asked.

"Earthbread suffered greatly because of Dark enchantress and the Beasts. Even the actions of the ancient heroes... caused harm..." The light spoke

"Adding 3 more cookies with that kind of power... was foolish." Wizard cookie finished.

-

"We shouldn't have thought about it at all." Strawberry cookie spoke.

"Waking us up this early... " The light of kindness muttered. "Will be a mistake."

Strawberry cookie winced at the statement.

"If there was more time... I wouldn't... be worried..." The light stated.

[chaotic-average-child]

Is it only gingerbrave strawberry and wizard that have souljams or will custard and chill peper get their own in the future like one that split between the two of them

Not at the moment in my plan since the trio got theirs from being baked in the witch's castle and the first cookies intervening

Although them becoming heirs to another souljam similar to the ancients i havent thought too much about.

[chaotic-average-child]

I might not be normal about witch's castle I feel like im being tortured by puzzles but THE STORY BRO

PLEASE STOP MAKING ME CLEAN FOR 56 STARS IM BEGGING YOU 💔

Also we should let her kill as a treat

[chaotic-average-child]

Realization

Story again below

Once in the Silver kingdom the trio had quickly separated from White lily and Pure vanilla cookie.

Wizard cookie had been leading them towards the library, looking troubled. He had been practicing at reading the notes and considered himself competent enough, thank you very much. After all this library was possibly one of the only places with the information they needed.

But at the moment that was the least of his concern, the trio walked into the library as Wizard cookie glanced around for the Librarian.

"Ah, Our guardian's friends..! How may I help?" They spoke in a soft tone.

Wizard cookie glanced at Gingerbrave and Strawberry who were uncharacteristically quiet, "Where would... information on the Souljams be?" He asked.

"Information on souljams is on the 4th shelf in the back," they spoke, a slight point to where the documents would be.

With a quick thanks he trailed along towards the back of the shelf, there were many books and scrolls, plenty of information. In most situations he'd be ecstatic... But now he couldn't help but dread what they'd find.

Looking through the scrolls and books, he looked for something, anything on what he thought might be possible. Nearly completely engrossed in his search.

"Wizard cookie, are you sure about this?" Strawberry cookie asked concerned, "Maybe it's better to not look into this..." She muttered.

Gingerbrave shook his head, "But if Wizard cookie is right... Wouldn't that be a good thing? I mean the ancients need all the help they can get, right?" He stated, crossing his arms in thought.

Wizard cookie sighed, looking up from the growing pile of possible leads, "I don't know if I'd say this is a good thing, Gingerbrave..." Looking back down a scroll caught his eye. 'The origin of the beasts'

Picking it up, he quickly glanced at it, making sure it held what he thought it did. "Ahah! This is it!" He exclaimed.

"Great!... So... What is it?" Gingerbrave asked.

"The souljams originated from the witches and were essentially baked into the 5 virtues, this scroll explains it a bit more in depth!" Wizard cookie smiles.

"Oh... So... Why do we need that?" Gingerbrave awkwardly asked, scratching the back of his head.

Wizard cookie groaned, "Well, if you paid attention, you'd know it's so we can cross reference!"

Nodding to himself he continued, "And then we'll know for certain!"

Strawberry cookie looked confused, "But... Wouldn't they want to do things differently... If they did...?"

"Of course, but I suspect there's only so much difference they can make!" Wizard cookie stated.

"Only so much..." Gingerbrave muttered.

"Anyways! Once I read through this... We'll have a better idea of what's going on... Probably" He insisted.

Gingerbrave and Strawberry cookie gave eachother a concerned look as they decided to stick by Wizard cookie as he ran to one of the many desks to study the scroll as much as he possibly could.

-

Reading over the scroll a hundredth time, over and over, Wizard cookie tried to figure out what he was missing.

'The witches baked a souljam for each of their virtues, placing them on their dough before being baked'

That was technically possible, although he didn't particularly understand why the Shadow witch would have done something like that. Maybe... The first cookies then...? But why...?

'Each virtue held a pillar to ensure the prosperity of cookie kind'

The virtues, despite being baked similarly all seemed much more independent... But the ancients did have a connection between eachother... So it would have to be divided...

He thought to himself, he'd often found himself pulled towards the others. Trusting them more than anyone, and while he'd originally thought it was simply from the trauma of the castle... It might be something else entirely...

He grumbled, slamming his head down, startling the two cookies who had begun to doze off at his side, "Uh... Wizard cookie... Are you alright?" Gingerbrave asked.

"No. All the pieces are here... I just don't understand how they fit!" He huffed.

Strawberry cookie hummed for a moment, before her eyes lit up in realization, "If... You're right then wouldn't we have lights of... the uh... Souljam?" She suggested.

Wizard cookie paused for a moment. "You're right! If I'm correct then... There should be the voice of the Souljam..." He muttered to himself.

"Huh, but then why hasn't it spoken to us before...?" Gingerbrave thought.

"Maybe it has..." Wizard stated.

Gingerbrave and Strawberry cookie looked at Wizard cookie confused.

"I mean... Moments of clarity... Almost like we are being pushed towards something... Perhaps they have been testing us?" Wizard cookie explained.

Gingerbrave looked more confused, "But then... How are we supposed to talk to them...?"

Wizard cookie stopped and immediately grumbled. "Darn it! You're right... Back to the drawing board..." He huffed as he lightly laid his head directly on the desk, much to the duos concern.

It was possible that the ancients would be able to help them, but Wizard cookie wanted to avoid the entire possibility of the ancients finding out. He didn't know why but something kept saying it was a horrible idea...

He lifted his head up from the desk, only to be met with darkness.

"Wh...what the...?!" He exclaimed as his voice echoed through the void around him.

A soft mumbling came directly from behind.

"This is bad...far too early..."

His own voice...?

Turning around he was faced with a blue crescent.

Floating in the void the crescent was dim, as if it had been hiding on purpose.

"You! You're -" Wizard cookie was about to state before being interrupted.

"Up WAY TOO EARLY. Is what I am." The voice huffed. The soft gleam slowly gaining more brightness.

"Too early...? Wait a minute hang on I was right! you're my souljam!" Wizard cookie stated, growing annoyed with the attitude of... himself?

"Quite correct you are! Wizard cookie, I am the Souljam of Curiosity. Partition of the Souljam of Determination." The crescent explained with mild flair.

"Partition? Hangon so you were split from another souljam." The Crescent seemed to glow brighter at this.

"Indeed! Although your growing suspicions and curiosity of the truth has unfortunately woken me up." The crescent circled Wizard cookie with a tutting sound.

"Unfortunately?" Wizard cookie stared.

"We were supposed to remain asleep until you three are ready... Unfortunately I fear deciet triggered things too soon." The light explained.

Wizard cookie stared as he processed the explanation. "I see, waiting instead of granting it immediately... Whoever granted us the Souljam wanted to prevent history from repeating!" He nodded.

The light shone brighter, "Indeed, our main goal was ensuring you would make it to that point, by both protecting you and ensuring that others would not realize something was off."

"The shield when Shadow milk cookie had tried to attack us! I knew something was wrong there..." Wizard cookie stated.

The light seemed to sigh, "We couldn't prevent self awareness alongside protecting you three... We suspected you would realize but had hoped you'd push it aside."

Wizard cookie cringed. "I see... So then Gingerbrave and Strawberry cookie, they have ones as well, correct?"

"Yes, and with my awakening, those two shall most likely follow." It hummed for a moment, "Of course it's nothing too crazy, we were never meant to wake this early, our powers are dimmed and our presence is hidden, I would recommend keeping quiet about this..."

Wizard cookie nodded... "So then why? Why were we baked with a souljam despite our purpose...? He asked

"The ancients. As we have traveled has it not become clear?" The light spoke softly.

"No, not particularly." Wizard cookie huffed.

"The first cookies saw the rise of Dark Enchantress cookie, believing that the ancients too would corrupt, believed they had to make a new plan... One to protect earthbread."

Wizard cookies eyes widened, "Helping the ancients, ensuring corruption wouldn't spread..."

The light grew brighter. "Yes, you are catching on fast."

He nodded, "They believed the ancients would corrupt like the beasts... They needed something to prevent this..."

He sighed.

"However... I think there might be one flaw..." The light muttered.

Wizard cookie looked at the light confused, "One flaw?"

The light dimmed slightly

"I do wonder, perhaps corruption is innate to the souljams themselves?"

[chaotic-average-child]

Invested in the crk au to a T. So out of the three of them, who would be corrupted first?

I plan on elaborating in a post soon but it was very simultaneous, but the one who set off the chain reaction was Wizard cookie

[chaotic-average-child]

more silly doodles relating vaguely to that silly au stuff

[chaotic-average-child]

Strawberry cookie's turn!!

technically the first I sketched but the last to be colored </3 All three were based on a sorta mix of some of their costumes,

Wizard cookie Gingerbrave

anywaayyys Story below

Strawberry cookie was still in shock, they were alive... somehow...

Shadow milk cookie had definitely hit them, there was no way he missed, but something protected them. She had looked over at Wizard cookie, maybe he figured out an impromptu shield?

But he had seemed even more confused than she was. Gingerbrave, glanced over with a smile, "Oh wow! That sure was a close one, huh?" He laughed as Wizard cookie looked over at him and frantically shook his head, "That... wasn't me...?" he stated, Gingerbrave's face turned to confusion, "Huh...?"

Their confusion was interrupted by a very upset Shadow milk cookie, "What?! How?!" he hissed, the ex cookie of knowledge now filled with confusion and annoyance.

White lily quickly ran towards the trio, alongside Pure Vanilla, who both began to confront Shadow milk cookie, but Strawberry cookie was much more focused on the increasingly distressed expression on Wizard cookie's face.

"If... it wasn't you... then who?" Gingerbrave said confused, Wizard cookie looked at the ground, the trio almost entirely ignoring the fight beside them, "I... Pure vanilla and White lily couldn't have set one off in time..." he muttered, clearly thinking about something deeply.

"Wizard cookie?" Strawberry says concerned. "ARGH! It doesn't make any sense!" Wizard cookie harshly stated, causing Strawberry to jump a bit. "Maybe we're just lucky?" Gingerbrave suggested, "No." Wizard stated, "This isn't the first time we just so happened to make it out of something unscathed. Luck is one thing, but we're far past that point." he explained.

Strawberry cookie looked concerned, "But... if it's not luck, then how?" she muttered confused.

Wizard cookie went silent.

"Maybe we're just really durable?" Gingerbrave stated, "But if that were it... why would things miss, or just so happen to not work?" Wizard cookie stressed, "It's almost as if reality itself has been working to prevent us from being injured!" he almost yelled. Strawberry cookie stared, "That's... not possible is it?" she questioned.

"Not normally, no. But I've been thinking about something for a while..." Wizard cookie pauses as if thinking of what to say, "Isn't it sort of odd... that we've ended up on these journeys at all?"

"Uh... I don't think so, I mean we've just been helping cookies, right?" Gingerbrave says with an awkward smile, confused where Wizard cookie was going with this.

Wizard cookie shook his head, "What were the chances we ran into the cookies of darkness? From a single Cake hound, or founding the cookie kingdom... The fact we met Pure vanilla in the first place is extremely unlikely if you consider it." Wizard cookie pauses, "And what are the chances we survived the Witch in the first place? Or escaping the castle?"

"I... mean couldn't it just be coincidence?" Gingerbrave said with growing concern.

"Maybe, but don't you feel the tug towards this? Pulling us towards goal after goal..." Wizard cookie insisted.

Gingerbrave and Strawberry went silent at that.

"I think... somehow we already knew what to do" Wizard stated.

"Even if we don't remember it. I think we've been guided towards fixing things on purpose." He elaborated.

"Who would even... do that?" Strawberry cookie asked growing more confused.

Wizard cookie looked at the duo, "I think... the three of us already know the answer to that, don't we?"

Strawberry cookie froze at that, she knew, and yet she didn't. It was an odd feeling, like being reminded of something long ago. Gingerbrave also seemed to be thinking of something, "That... doesn't make sense though... I mean they... Why would they..."

The silence between the three was drowned out by the fighting going on near them.

...

"Are you three alright?" Pure vanilla had asked as the 5 cookies made their way back to the Silver Kingdom, Shadow milk had fled shortly after the confrontation much to the displeasure of White lily.

"Yep!" Gingerbrave chirped, "Shadow milk cookie didn't do too much damage!"

Pure vanilla looked at the trio concerned, "I'm glad... We... I had not expected it... I was concerned that the three of you would have been hurt... especially with the amount of power he had put into the attack..."

Gingerbrave looked back at Pure vanilla, "Well... it's a good thing it wasn't too bad then!"

The ancient nodded, "Indeed... although I wonder what happened...?"

The trio stiffened slightly at that, Wizard cookie coughed, "I suppose one of you must have set off a shield unknowingly." he stated with false assurance.

Pure vanilla grimaced, "I suppose..." After all, there wasn't much else explanation...

"Yep! Just lucky you were there!" Gingerbrave agreed, although somewhat half heartedly.

Strawberry cookie nodded as she quickly ran towards the older cookie with a soft smile under her hood. "Thank you, Pure vanilla." She stated with a smile.

Pure vanilla watched as the trio seemed to blame him for their miraculous survival, and as much as he wanted to trust his friends... something felt wrong to the hero of truth. An odd dread, perhaps? And yet nothing at all felt wrong... How... odd.

[chaotic-average-child]

Wizard cookie, let it be known he is floating on the right lmao, another brave trio soul jam idk what to call this

Gingerbrave Strawberry cookie

Story below ❤️

After escaping the Shadow witch the trio had rarely if ever brought up their origins, there wasn't much reason to, simple cookies baked for a simple purpose.

Of course Wizard cookie hadn't worried too much about intended purposes in the past, especially not one like theirs. Being eaten would not be his fate, thank you!

Although their adventure through Beast yeast brought back memories and the way White lily spoke reminded them of what they'd heard Dark Enchantress confess. He had to wonder if keeping quiet was really helping..?

...

The spire of deciet would have been much more interesting, had the information inside been true. Wizard cookie couldn't help but huff in recollection. The 4 cookies managed to get out alright, no clue where Shadow milk cookie was, and now there was a gnawing feeling that something wasn't quite right.

Of course dealing with the cookies of deciet probably left paranoia, but for some reason, Wizard cookie couldn't help but think he was supposed to be doing something right now.

Grumbling he twisted and turned but couldn't quite get comfortable. The feeling of dread remained a slow tread. He was supposed to be figuring... Something out? Or maybe stopping something?

He glanced over at Strawberry and Gingerbrave. Now that he thought about it, they were definitely supposed to be doing something.

But he can't seem to figure out what?

As the curious knowledge driven cookie he was... this ominous feeling of missing something was... Wrong.

Slamming his head face first into his cot he attempted to willpower himself asleep, but the insomnia remained. The buzzing underneath his head was pounding as he tried to think of what he could possibly be missing.

...

Now that he considered it... It was kinda surprising that they'd made it this far to begin with... Perhaps he was just overthinking it, trying to find out what was wrong... But... He couldn't help but think that the trio probably shouldn't have survived a lot of the encounters they'd had.

There was luck, and then there was a pattern.

It wasn't that they were weak, but... Close calls... Weapons practically bouncing off of them? Almost as if there was something preventing permanent harm...?

Wizard shook his head, that was ridiculous, why and how would anything be preventing their harm? It was probably just coincidence.

[chaotic-average-child]

I might be losing it

Soul jam for the brave trio.... or smth au... i have been thinking abt this for a while now...

Wizard Cookie Strawberry cookie

alsooooo erm.... story below....

I wonder if the witches (specifically the 12 witches) saw Dark enchantress... they would consider splitting the soul jams a failure... They'd need to clean it up, right? but they're stuck as cookies... what to do...

The Shadow witch is baking a new batch... perhaps splitting one soul jam into three... placing the pieces on the prebaked cookies.

Perhaps half was too much, maybe a third would be better, and one soul jam split in three? They would surely keep one another in check since their souljams are linked! nothing could go wrong!

And if being baked with overwhelming power is what caused the Beasts to corrupt, then simply force the souljams into stasis until the moment comes for the cookies to clean their mess...

truly this plan was flawless!
