Coca meanwhile, had calmed down somewhat, curious eyes still cloudy from having just transformed, patches of dragon scales still visible on parts of her neck, yet gaze intent and fixed solely on Snapdragon.
"Then, maybe you know what happened to the council? We're on a mission to bring them back together, and we could really use your help!" Mona took a step forward, cautious of the watching eyes of the dragon.
"Well, it might not be of much use, but I heard that the adults had scattered throughout the nation- though I'm not sure where exactly, I'm sorry." She looked down at her tiny hands, clutching the bottom hem of her dress. Mona shook her head with a smile.
"No, that's plenty useful, thank you. That just solidifies the fact that we should continue our journey to Amaryllis City." She turned back to the others. "We've extended our stay in the mountains long enough. Is every cookie ready?"

Rosewater Cookie nodded with a smile. She was ready for adventure! She was excited to see more of Earthbread, learn secrets of the Cookies that governed, and to see her family members in Amaryllis City.

Black Lilly Cookie is protecting the unconscious floating cookie to a secret location...
In the heart of the dense woodland, Dee found herself needing a breather from the melodramatic dynamics within her group. She hated feeling... mean. But she was easily fed up with people. It was part of the reason that she was confident that she would never be a good wife. Cookies could be tiresome. Seeking solitude, she ventured off the beaten path, stumbling upon a serene clearing bathed in the dappled sunlight filtering through the leaves.
Dee sat in the lotus position, working through her breathing forms. She really didn't mind people. Not really. She was just easily frustrated. Mona and Lem and Roo and Ace all seemed okay. Instead, it was Dee who had gone from solitude to living in a house with half a dozen people overnight. As she attempted to gather her thoughts, an unexpected interruption materialized in the form of a pomegranate scarab. These beetles were annoying, and usually hostile. This one was small, but still posed a threat.
Swift to respond, Dee drew her sais, ready to engage in a dance of precision and agility with the intruder. The scarab, adorned in a resplendent shade of red, proved to be an adversary of formidable prowess. It's emerald wings and golden horns glinted in the morning sun. One shot from her blowgun under its carapace, and Dee would be fine. But it glared up at her, squaring up.
The ensuing skirmish, devoid of grandiosity or theatricality, saw Dee sheathing her sais. Aiming with her blowgun and darts, she used her fairly nimble nature to maintain a strategic distance, deftly thwarting the advances of her hostile opponent. The only word to describe it was sparring. The small creature had clearly been taken aback by her presence, already on its guard.
A distant rustle in the underbrush heralded the arrival of a more formidable pomegranate scarab, its menacing visage dwarfing both its predecessor... and Dee. She was completely outclassed now. One swipe from its pincers and Dee was done for. She could beat it, but that would take time and energy. Time and energy Dee didn't feel like expending. Realizing the asymmetry of the impending confrontation, Dee made a pragmatic decision—retreat.
The smaller scarab, displaying an unexpected tenacity, chose to abandon its hostile stance, fleeing after Dee. It had likely been running to avoid becoming lunch meat. The large scarab was pursuing, and Dee shot a spread of darts to slow it down. She heard the thing clicking over the undergrowth behind her, chasing her down. Together, Dee and the dwarf navigated the tangled undergrowth, the relentless pursuit of the larger scarab serving as a constant reminder of the impending threat.
Finally, she lost him. She bent over, panting from the chase. That was... close. Dee realized she was far from the cabin now, and decided to make her way towards the western road, which, although in the opposite direction, would be the fastest way to the mountain city. She stuck a finger in her mouth, pulling it out to feel the wind. Checking the sun, she realized she was currently facing East. She turned, pleased to realize she would be heading downwind from the Pomegranate Scarab.
Looking down, she stifled a scream. The small scarab, barely coming up to her waist was still there. Why? Was it going to attack? No, she didn't think it would. Confusion etched across Dee's face; she couldn't fathom why this pomegranate scarab, which had been hostile just moments ago, wasn't sinking its pincers into her. Tentatively, she tried shooing it away, thinking it had some sort of delayed attack plan. But the scarab remained unfazed, almost like it had adopted her as its unlikely protector.
No. It couldn't be here. It couldn't stay with her. She turned to leave, assuming it would wander off. She took one step. Then another. Then another. It was still watching her. "Bye..." she said with a shrug, walking off. She hadn't gotten more than a dozen paces when she heard a strange clicking sound. She froze. The noise stopped.
Dee cocked her head, listening. After a moment of frozen stillness, she tried to brush of the disconcerting feeling. Nothing. She started to walk again, blaming as a trick of the mind. Three steps later, the shuffling clicks started again. She froze, and the noise stopped. This was... weird. Dee took a single step, hearing a few clicks. Then another. Whipping her head around, she saw the tiny scarab behind her. It was following her.
"What the heck? Go away! Shoo!" She was actually annoyed now, the creature not taking the hint. Dee glared at the beetle, who gazed back at her with a blank look in its single ruby eye. She turned on her heel, marching through the forest, an unnecessary and unfathomable rage boiling inside her as Dee heard it following her. She balled her hands into fists, trying to keep from screaming.
Whirling back around, she shot it her most venomous look. Grabbing a berry of a nearby branch, Dee got an idea. "See the nice berry? I'll give it to you if you leave." It blinked. "Yeah? Okay... fetch!" She tossed the berry into the undergrowth behind her. "Oh for CRYING OUT LOUD!"
As Dee trudged through the stages of disbelief, denial, and attempts at dismissal, the scarab persisted in its dogged loyalty. She couldn't wrap her head around the fact that a creature she'd considered an adversary was now steadfastly following her like a peculiar shadow. With each futile attempt to rid herself of the scarab, from dismissive gestures to sarcastic remarks, Dee found herself slowly transitioning through the stages of grief. Finally, acceptance settled in, begrudgingly acknowledging that this unexpected companion had firmly woven itself into the fabric of her peculiar adventure. And so, amidst the woods, Dee's solo quest evolved into an unintentional duo, the scarab and her, navigating the challenges ahead with an odd camaraderie born from the quirks of the unexpected.
"Stupid creature..." she muttered under her breath.
As the woodland foliage gradually gave way to the outskirts of the capital city, Dee, her sarcastic demeanor still intact, couldn't shake off the persistent presence of her newfound companion. The scarab, however, seemed to interpret Dee's actions as those of a savior—a perception she was quick to dismiss.
It drew a bunch of stares, scuttling behind her on the cobble streets. But then Dee finally found Mona and Ruby, the group talking to some more strange cookies. "Hello, Mona, darling. And Little Roo! Didjya miss me?" She beamed, happy to see them despite herself. The creature cowered behind her. She was going to kill it.
It was never meant to be.

It was only when they were closer to the entrance to the city when they reunited with Dee. Mona smiled brightly for her, rushing to engulf her in a hug. "Dee! Where did you run off to, I was starting to get worried!" She pulled away and noticed movement from the corner of her eye, glancing down at a unique pomegranate scarab. "Looks like you had quite the adventure, hm?"

"Sorry about breakfast..." she sighed, knowing she had been rude. But everyone had just been so present... It was like a claustrophobia of personalities. "I'm glad I met up with you here before you all got too far. Are you still on your way to Amaryllis City?"
It was never meant to be.

Rosewater Cookie was smiling wide as the group made it to Amaryllis City. She hadn't been here in so long, but she remembered it, and it looked so great!
When Dee arrived, she smiled bigger. The missing member had returned! And with another!? Spotting the Pomegranate Scarab made Rosewater gasp in surprise and delight. This one was so small, and it seemed incredibly shy. Skipping over to get a better look at the Pomegranate Scarab, she spoke. "Aw, look at this little one! Where did you find it?"
She turned to the other cookie apologetically. "I'm sorry. It's Rosewater Cookie, right? I'm not sure if we were formally introduced. I'm Dark Chocolate Daffodil, Dee. This thing has been following me for the last two hours. Tried to fight me when it saw me, and then followed me when we fled from one of his giant brothers." She shrugged. "It's obviously kind of stupid. Doesn't realize I don't want it here." She said the words very pointedly. The bug was completely oblivious.
It was never meant to be.

When Dee spoke, Rosewater Cookie looked up at her.
"I'm sorry. It's Rosewater Cookie, right? I'm not sure if we were formally introduced. I'm Dark Chocolate Daffodil, Dee. This thing has been following me for the last two hours. Tried to fight me when it saw me, and then followed me when we fled from one of his giant brothers."..."It's obviously kind of stupid. Doesn't realize I don't want it here."
Rosewater smiled. "Got it in one, and it's nice to formally meet you, Dee." Hearing what Dee said about the Pomegranate Scarab, Rosewater frowned. "In all honesty, it may be a runt. That's probably why it's so small and was scared of the one you fled from. In the wild, runts are usually scorned and even booted out for being 'weaker'. It probably sees you as equal or greater in strength when you were fighting and followed you when you fled its sibling out of instinct. Sort of in a 'birds of a feather flock together' idea."
Turning to the Scarab again, she smiled and slowly dug in a pocket. She brought out a special made rosewater and starfruit jelly, offering it to the creature.
Coca, on the other hand, had gotten distracted by the food Rosewater Cookie brought out. She bounded over on her little dragon paws to Rosewater Cookie, looking up at her with her best puppy eyes, as if to ask for some of the food.
Dee sighed, nudging the bug away from her. "Again, stranger. I am Dark Chocoalate Daffodil Cookie, aka, Dee for short. I only know you as the one who tried to stop me from going in the woods... Should of listened to you, wouldn't have ended up with this lump. Who might you be?"
The bug took the hint and moved away from her. Finally. She could her the click of its legs on the flagstones, and turned to see it wandering over to Roo. It liked Roo. Roo smelled like moon. The scarab liked the moon. It was much nicer than the scorching sun. Peering up at Roo from its one red eye, it tilted its head. They were both ruby, too.
It was never meant to be.

"Stay with him." Dee taunted it. "See if I care. Good riddance, too." Of course it wouldn't. The pomegranate scarab still viewed Dee as its lord and savior. She pointed turned away from it, tilting her head at Mona's words. That was curious. Come to think of it, she had only really seen the species in arid climates during her travels.
"Well, we've already established it's stupid." But that didn't explain why there had been at least one other in the woods. "Perhaps they just wandered north, or some eggs were accidentally transported up here in a caravan with pomegranate shipment. Or, going out on a limb, we don't know what we're dealing with. Perhaps the Dark Enchantress's influence is screwing up the climate zones?" She shrugged.
It was never meant to be.
