"Alright, let's go!" Mona nodded to everyone, leaving the cottage. She looked around, smiling at the sight. Rolling hills and valleys, mountains covered in flowers- and the best part was the bright sun shining down, covering everything. "Wow, it's beautiful out here!"

Lottie gazed rapidly around the map that the other cookie was holding. Hopefully it was a Map of the Magics. The Enchanted Silviary Pond wasn't on most maps, only on ones used by experienced and high-ranking magic users. Lottie's mom was one, and that was the only reason she knew about it.
Oh Cookie-crumbles! Lottie 'cursed' in her head. It wasn't on there. Her body--- the little part of it that she could feel anyway--- was seizing up. There wasn't much time left. In searing agony, she desperately mouthed N O N E, staring at a fixated point on the map that was in the general direction of the secret pond. Of course, it was magically hidden, and could only be unlocked by an incantation.

Lottie mustered up all her strength, and whispered, "By the yellow sun and the moon's gleam, unlock the pond to be seen."
She hoped that the cookie beside her would understand that it was the enchantment needed. Unfortunately, it took all of her energy to whisper that, and so she fell unconscious once again; her frail body needed rest.

Rosewater Cookie skipped out of the cottage, following the proclaimed leader of the quest. She was quite excited. She and some other Cookies were going on a grand quest! And she knew a bit about their first location!

"By the yellow sun and the moon's gleam, unlock the pond to be seen." Black Lily Cookie nearly panicked when the downed Cookie whispered this then passed out again. Black Lily went over the words carefully. It must have been an incantation... And unfortunately, it probably needed to be said out loud to activate it. She rubbed her throat gently, hoping she had enough vocal practice to say the line... Black Lily made sure the Cookie was comfy and covered before turning back to her map. With a wince, Black Lily opened her mouth and did her best to speak. "By the y-yellow sun-n an-nd the moon's g-leam, un-nlock the pon-nd to be seen-n." Black Lily did her best, but ended up in a coughing fit after the last syllable. Too much for her throat it seemed...

The enchanted pond was a sacred place. It was rumored to be where Ruby Moon and Saphirre Sun Cookie died, but that was just a myth. It was said to be discovered by one of the first queens of Silviary Kingdom, and possibly only unlocked by an heir.

Lottie's time was running out fast; there was no time for someone else to make it there and back to save her. Lottie needed to come, to save time.

By some unknown force, probably Lottie's magic, she simply stood up. Off the bed. Just like that.
Something was off. Could it have been the spell?

Her eyes were closed and her head was hung, unconscious. Her body seemed to be moving on autopilot, using every last ounce of her energy. She would need more than a Blue Lotus healing flower now...but the enchanted pond has healing flowers galore.

Lottie's unconscious body stumbled towards the door, off to the pond.

"I'm not sure much about Amaryllis City, but I do know the courthouse for the council is there!" She smiled, leading the way. While they walked, she admired all of the wildflowers, listening to the wind and watching the earth shake slightly.

Wait, shake? "Do you guys feel that? It also sounds like something big is walking around up ahead on the top of the mountain..."

“Coca can scout ahead? She thinks it’s a dragon, or a three-headed Cakeberus. And don’t worry, she won’t be seen unless necessary.” Cami suggests, walking alongside Mona “Whatever the creature is, I’ve faced a wide variety of monsters. Definitely not powerful enough to take them down alone, but I do know some creatures weaknesses.”

Ace trudged along the path. She still thought this was a stupid idea. Even worse, there was probably a dragon up ahead. Just great. Hopefully they were in cookie form...and feeling generous enough to leave them alone. Just in case, though, she was ready to pull out her swords if needed.

"That would be a big help, thank you." Mona nodded, trying to see ahead. The mountains were vivid and colorful, covered in wildflowers of every kind. More gargantuan steps could be heard, coming their way. "Though, I'd recommend hurrying that up- I don't think we have a lot of time left before whatever it is finds us first..."

Coca nods and speeds off, a pink blur that causes the bushes to rustle softly. She scanned the area before her, looking at the huge beast before her. And then she rushes back, turning back to human form and reporting to the group. “Issa BIG dragon. We should hide! Unless you think we can challenge a dragon…?” Cami frowns at the statement, gripping her staff tightly. “I’d suggest hiding, our group is generally uncoordinated and unprepared for an attack, who’s to say this dragon isn’t immensely powerful?”

"Who's to say that the dragon isn't peaceful?" Ace asked, with her eyebrow raised. "We should talk to it. And if we can't settle things diplomatically...well then..." her hands strayed to her blades. Ace didn't need to finish her sentence. And yes, needless to say, she did think they could take on a dragon.

"And besides, aren't you a dragon, Coco?" She didn't know Coco well, but she was pretty sure she wasn't a normal cookie. Well, neither was Ace. Or Ruby. Or Mona. They all had their secrets, their backstories, held together by...

by Mona, really. She started this journey and this group. Who's to say she wouldn't end them?

Ace shook her head. Mona was kind. So far. She needed to have a little faith in her companions.

"...peaceful dragon...? Yeah, right..."

Ruby was there, all of a sudden. he'd been trying to hide his presence as much as possible, pulling his scarf as tight as possible around him.

"...Is there a need to risk it?"

Is it
wickedness?

Or is it
weakness?

Rosewater Cookie tilted her head. She knew the tales of the dragon in the Meadowsweet Mountains... If it came down to fight or flight, she would choose fight for life, then maybe flee. She had her rose thorn whip on her at all times...

Black Lily Cookie was startled when the unconscious Cookie suddenly lifted up and stumbled out. She saw that her eyes were closed. This must be some sort of magic... Black Lily Cookie simply gathered her things and followed the Cookie, hopeful that this would work and that she could at least keep the Cookie safe...

“Peaceful dragons are hugely unheard of. The only peaceful dragon I know of is myself, Snapdragon and this other dragon cookie I was trailing. And to talk diplomatics with a dragon is much like explaining quantum physics to a baby, the mere idea is simply atrocious. We dragons are all impatient creatures. I agree with Ruby, we shouldn’t be risking it. And by the way, I’m Coca. Not Coco- that’s my sister.” Coca replied, scratching the pinkish scales on her neck, fresh from her transformation.

“I think what we’re trying to say is, we just met and got together. We’ve never seen how we’d work together in combat, our powers are quite complex and unique, we’d require a proper strategy before attacking. No point attacking a dragon if we are a ragtag bunch of heroes who barely know each other.” Cami adds, frowning at the loudening footsteps.

"...I just don't want to die..."

Ruby muttered quietly, hands fidgeting with his scarf.

"...'s not like I trust any of you to keep me alive."

Ace rolled her eyes at Ruby. If there really were only 2 other peaceful dragons, maybe this was one of them. And besides, she was willing to take her chances. Even if the dragon was too strong, there was nothing worth living for anyway.

"...realistically, what is there to gain...? Why approach a dragon for no reason?"

Ruby muttered quietly, looking away from the group pointedly, hands messing with his scarf.

"It's a big decision, I just know that we shouldn't-" Mona started, but was cut off by a pair of eyes glaring down at her. The dragon was already right in front of them. "Let's just... back away slowly. That sounds like a good plan." She saw the flowery tail, whipping back and forth. "That's the Snapdragon. I hear they have a child, but I've never seen them with my own eyes. Maybe they're protecting their baby?"

Ruby pulled his scarf up, slowly fading into the shadows, as he took a few steps backward. His soft voice still audible.

"...how bothersome."

Coca immediately lets out a squeal of shock and fear, transforming back into a dragon, tripping over her own tail and hiding (unsuccessfully) behind Cami. “I-I- don’t see any dragon babies anywhere that we’re intruding on…” Coca squeaks out, cotton candy feelers twitching in anxiety as she lets out pink and blue smoke.

Cami slowly takes a few steps back, keeping wary eyes trained on the dragon “We should have run earlier…”

"No, wait!" A childlike voice exclaimed, sounding from the dragon's back. Snapdragon lowered one of their wings, allowing the owner of the voice to dismount them and walk to the group. It was a child- no more than ten years old. Mona gasped slightly, keeping a tight grip on her bag.

The cookie had long white hair, adorned with ivory flowers and marshmallow garlands. She wore a short dress, white with green accents. She bowed to the group, curtsying cutely. "I'm sorry if we startled any of you-"

"You really shouldn't run up to cookies you don't know. Your mother asked me to protect you, and I can't do that if you're always approaching danger." Snapdragon spoke, growling at the group but staying behind the girl.

"It's alright, they don't seem like they're from the Cookies of Darkness." She smiled at them. "My name is White Ambrosia Cookie- call me Ambrosia. I'm the daughter of Lemon Lavender Cookie and Rosemary Grapefruit Cookie. It's a pleasure to meet you all."
