“Blueberry milk cookie, I know you're excited for this trip, but you need to calm yourself.”

An elder with a bread covering the Majority of his face sitting at a big desk looking forward at a blue individual who was trying to conceal his excitement, but he was physically floating off the ground but not by much but was scratching his head awkwardly, making the old cookie sign in exhaustion as he lean back in his chair.

“Ha ha sorry.. Professor Gingersnap cookie.. But how could this be a once in a lifetime thing so how can I not be excited, when I was one first Cookies the got pick to go on this expedition with unknown Knowledge to found.”

Blueberry milk has a dreamy far away look in his eyes as sparkles glistening around him but was snapped out of it when there was a loud slam on a coco bark as the young cookie looked back at the elder, whose hand was on the desk .

“Blueberry milk… cookie you just freshly graduated from here and were our top student in the cookies generation here as well.”

Gingersnap cookie raises his hand off the desk and raises it close to his face as a soft sound of ah could be heard although the elder cookie continues on word.

“Albit too hectic in pursuit of knowledge or down right a gremlin…”

The elder said the last bit to himself but was still heard by the other making them huff.

“But why not share your thoughts with the young batch here, before you start to go on this journey?”

The professor shifts in his seat so he can sit up straight while blueberry milk has an apologetic smile on his face then raises both arms up to his side.

“That is why I agreed to go on this expedition so readily, Just Imagine the knowledge I can bring back from this Journey, Professor.”

Then Blueberrymilk cookie gently flows down letting his feet touch the ground and has a more calm expression on his face and gem on his chest gleaming a bit and that when Gingersnap cookie just signs in defeat knowing it is losing battle.

“Just …my boy please be safe on your trip.”

With that Blueberrymilk cookie's never ending smile only grew big and quickly turned towards the door with a skip in his step and once the young cookie was out in the hall and while the Professor Gingersnap breathes heavily at the sight.

“That boy.. always moving about.”

Meanwhile in a dark hollow Corredors, a Priest with golden hair and tan baked skin, wearing silk like robes was faintly glowing as he was sitting criss-cross that when the sound of chimes echoed in the area, he opened his eyes to show two colors vortex.

“How.. troublesome..”

The priest’s voice was void of any emotion and straightens his back as he closes his eyes.

“It seems like one of the virtues is on the move.. or perhaps they are like the others..”

The moment that Blueberry milk cookie left the academy he immediately went to the airship port to gather more info about the area that he was going and luckily he saw Captain Flan rider cookie in front of his squad which one of them looks like holding a hatchling dragon. The blue cookie walks towards the group as the Captain laughs loudly and the one holding the baby dragon with a panic expression, stepping forward Blueberry milk cookie spoke up making the crew look at him.

“What seems to be the problem here?”

The Captain turned around to show that his face was covered in soot with a huge grin on his face, then warped his arm around the holder, while the young Scholar looked baffled.

“Oh my youngest crew member Butter biscuit cookie was having a problem with someone stealing his lunch and just today he caught the thief.”

Once the explanation was finished, Butter biscuit cookie cried out in distress.

“Sir, what am I gonna do with this hatchling? I can't bring it with me on our journey, it would be too dangerous for it !!?”

Captain Flan rider cookie looks at the little lizard in which sneezes more soot, closing his eyes as he hums out loud.

“Hmm you're right about that..recruit..bring a youngling to uncharted territory would be a terrible idea, even if they are a spiritfire being.”

Then the Captain looks at Blueberry milk cookie.

“Do you have any friends that can handle a hatchling?”

The word friends made the scholar pause a bit and a hollow feeling resonated inside the scholar but before Blueberry cookie could awkwardly say anything a childish boyish voice spoke up.

“OOooh is that a dragon?”

A young freshly baked cookie was running up to the group with Excitement in their eyes

Butter biscuit cookie was startled by the kid’s excitement, squeezing the little dragon to squeak out in discomfort.

“Is it your’s, mister?”

The crew member stutters out a negative answer while the hatchling makes a sound of agreement, which makes the kid laugh as blueberry milk cookie looks at the outfit that the other is wearing the academy's uniform, so Blueberry milk cookie spoke up to get the others attention.

“Say little cookie aren’t you supposed to be in class at this time?”

The student then makes a duck face and looks away from the scholar making the airship captain laugh out loud as he states.

“So you’re playing hookie huh kid.”

Which makes the little dough huffs.

“Well no, I’m not .. technically I was told to leave the classroom.. something about … disturbing my peers learning…and when I did I saw him across the hall in a hurry.”

The kid points at the sage as they continue to explain themselves, then turn their gaze at the blue cookie.

“I heard so much about you and what fun adventure that you had in the academy.”

At first Blueberry milk cookie was bewildered by the kid’s confrontation but when the child mentioned some of his little adventure, the scholar let out an amused laugh which made the little doughy face brighten up and so Blueberry milk asked in a light tone.

“What’s your name, little one?”

The kid perks up.

“I’m Marshmallow cookie!”

Marshmallow raised his hand in excitement though the little cookie realized what they did and quickly covered the mouth, which made the group chuckle at the action, that's when that Captain spoke up in a jolly tone.

“So kid, do you want to look after this hatchling, here?”

Butter biscuit whips their head towards their boss and cries out while the little dragon squeak a bit.

“Captain what are you saying!!?!”

Flan only shrugged nonchalantly as he said.

“We’re suggesting that we couldn't bring a youngling with us and I don’t see a problem with Marshmallow here. Can take care of the little one, while we are away.”

Butter biscuit still looked worried and Blueberry milk felt a little bad for the fellow for his worries and then another crew member spoke up while patting the anxious cookie shoulder.

“Hey Bis.. hic We’re on a time crunch here.. hic beside look.”

Their partner pointed at the kid with his thumb and Biscuit saw that Marshmallow was giving a cake hound’s eyes toward their directions.

“An if hic.. the kid well really help us out..hic”

The drunk cookie glanced at the eager cookie, then looked back at the other’s anxious eyes.

“Then .. hic. they’ll let .. hic one their professors know about..hic this.”

The drunker pats the dragon before immediately pulling it away from its open jaw.

“That's a great idea, Butter rum cookie!!”

Which the said cookie just raises their thumbs up.

“Hic no problem boss.. hic I’m just doing my job.”

Rum unwraps themselves off Biscuit and their Captain looks at the little cookie with a playful smirk.

“Well sport you heard my comrade, you just need one of your professors to watch over you, while you take care of this dragon when we are away.”

Blueberry milk watches in amazement on how the airship crew are able to handle their own situation with ease, unlike his time in town or the academy though the latter makes since they are students, who are trying to expand their knowledge.

A small frown form on the sholar face as he took a deep but silent breath. As Marshmallow nodded in a bright look on their face and was shoo away by the Captain. Then a rough yank, Blueberry milk made a yelp sound, the first sense was the smell of berries mixed with alcohol and an arm was wrapped around the blue cookie’s neck.

“What hic.. wrong, professor?”

Rum wasn’t looking at him when they asked their question, though it gave Blueberry a closer look at the other cookie and noticed that Rum cookie’s eyes were clouded.

“Hic are ya upset that the others .. hic  found their own solutions before you could say anything..?”

The young scholar’ mind halted at the question.

“Wha.. no no I’m not in fact, I’m glad that the solution was solved with such ease.”

There was a low hum from Rum as if they didn’t believe him and walked away from Blueberry milk, making said cookie confused about what just happened and then the captain walked up to him.

“So blueberry milk cookie, what brought you here?”

Which the scholar perks up at the question.

“Well I was just wondering what I should bring, since this is my first time on an airship?”

The captain blinks in surprise.

“First time on an airship?”

Which Blueberry milk nods in confusion as he watches as Captain Flan makes a slightly stern face.

“Medicine that helps with motion sickness just in case and don’t constantly use magic on the ship unless we get into trouble or to stabilize yourself for a bit but otherwise pack things like you do when you are traveling on the ground.”

Then Blueberry ask a couple more questions, like the rule of not using magic constantly which the Flan’s mention that sometimes magic can mess up their engine and they don’t want that to happen and when sunlight was fading, Flan then remember to tell the blue cookie to pack winter or fell gear since they are gonna fly higher then they normal would since they’re destination is a flying castle that soon come near them and with that they separate ways until tomorrow.

…

A pale golden light flickers in a dark room, like a flame trying to stay lit until a bone hand with a chain comes out of the darkness and grabs it while the light engulfed the hand with its energy and a heavy sign could be heard.

“ So it seems that one of the virtues is finally gonna play their role..tch. ”

The inflamed hand slowly moved up until it was near a skull that has a diamond shaped hole on its forehead that has many different cracks on it and two different color vortex pupils.

“ ... And of course.. It has to be mine, first.. ”

Its eyes swirl around as it brings the light to its mouth and the moment that it touches its teeth it turns into a brown skin cookie with golden wavy hair and with eyelids now they were barely opened.

“The one that holds the souljam of knowledge.. Blueberry milk cookie…”

The now turned cooke’s narrow his brow in thought, then he turned his head around and silently away as more lights appeared in the room, though they were translucent dim and the majority of their color was a light grey or white but some of them did have a small amount of color.

“How to get rid of you..”

Chapter Text

The crisp cold air of the morning with faint smell of sweet honeysuckles and dew filled the town, a few cookies were already up and about to open their business, it was peaceful. Which was Blueberry milk cookie’s favorite time of the day, as he walks around waiting from some few shops to open up since he woke up so early and he has plenty of time before the ship is ready to go.

“Ah blu are ya doing some last minute shopping, before you have to go on ya trip?”

An Edler cookie calls out as she watches the young scholar strolling about making the said cookie chuckle.

“That I am Grandma cookie, but before I go, is there anything you need help with?”

Which makes grandma chuckle at his thoughtfulness.

“Oh oho ho no deary, the only thing I can think of at the moment is to let my grandson stop wandering into dangerous areas but that is just like asking someone to make a blueberry bird stop singing.”

Blueberry milk, scratched his head.

“You might be right that adventurous spirit was kneaded into his dough more so than others.”

Nodding her in agreement.

“Well I shouldn’t keep you now, I hope that you have a safe but fun trip now.”

An with the rest of his little shopping trip, it was almost time for him to get to the airship docks as he put his stuffed in his magical pouch and began to travel there and when he got there was packed full of people, some of them were the crew, he saw yesterday and others were just passengers or sellers.

“I honestly thought you would be late….”

The voice was clear to hear, even though the crowd on the station should’ve drowned it out, so Blueberry milk whipped his head around to see Butter rum cookie leaning close to him. Which the blue cookie flinches in surprise, making the other cookie chuckle at his reaction.

“ Sorry about that.”

Burberry noticed that the other cookie tone was not apologetic in the slightest but pretended not to notice it.

“Oh it's quite alright and there was no way for me to be late, because I took precautions.”

Butter rum tilted his head in confusion but didn’t say anything, which confused the sage as he watched the other to pull out a pair of glasses and put it on and looked at the blue cookie, then let out a soft oh.

“You use magic enhancements before going to bed..?”

Butter rum spoke in bewilderment and Blueberry milk was about asking how did the cookie know that but already made a connection the spect was a magic tool, with eyes sparkling the sage grabbed the other hands.

“Where did you get that!!?”

Which startled the cookie but once Butter rum gathered his bearing and He hesitantly answered.

“These old things uh.. don’t remember. I think someone made them for me.”

Blueberry milk lets out an oh, then tilts his head to the side in thought.

“You don’t remember?”

Butter rum gestures his hands out in what can you do matter as he walks away from the sage.

“Ya, well when the captain found me, I was in some sort of accident, that made me lose my memories.”

That peak, Blueberry milk’s attention but before the blue cookie could say anything a loud bell sound rings out the platform.

“Welp it's almost time for us to depart, seeya.”

Then Butter rum hops away from the young sage towards the loading dock with the other crew members as the voice of the captain speaks out of speaker, greeting them a good morning then proceeding to tell them that the ship is ready to abort.

Which Blueberry milk went towards the passport booth so he could get on board the airship and hopefully a room with a window, since he got here a little bit earlier though if not then he can at least go to the docks .

Once he got his key pass, he then walked onto the ship, while mumbling want to do next before he tried to find his room because unlike the other cookies, where they still have some of their luggage of essentials before they hit their destination, though Blueberry milk apprehensive with so many cookies around, hoping they don’t come up to him often on this trip.

“Maybe ..I should go find my room so I can navigate better…”

 With a plan in mind the sage pulled out his key and went to the mass group of cookies at the service desk, some of them had a piece of paper which the blue cookie assumes was the map of this ship.

He waited for the crowd to dissipate a bit before swooping into it and when he did, he see Butter  biscuit hand over the maps to the other passengers and when their eyes glanced towards Blueberry’s direction and with swipe of another map he hand it out to the sage while giving a hesitantly but warm welcome.

In which Blueberry gave the other a small smile and a nodded before getting out of the crowd, once he got out so he wouldn’t hit in anyone he looks at his key and map so he could find his room on the piece of paper and once he found it he was about to go toward his destination but crashes into something hard and Blueberry was about to used magic to stop himself from falling but instead a strong grip wrapped around his waist and there was a whiff of some type of season but the blue cookie could not pinpoint it.

“Sorry about that little cookie.”

A boisterous voice spoke, though the sage felt annoyed to be called a “little cookie”, so he look up to see a very red cookie with long ebony hair in a braid but their was still tuff of it trying to escape and when the red cookie look at him, notice that blueberry wasn’t gonna to fall, they back away, that is when the sage notice that the other has multiple arms and the 2nd is that the other is huge.

“Oh it is not a problem, I was the one who was not paying attention to my surroundings, though I’ve never had seen a cookie like you before and this smell is some sort of seasoning?”

While the giant cookie nodded but before they could say anything about them, the red cookie made a realization, then immediately dashed away towards the exit.

“SORRY I HAVE SOMEWHERE TO BE, LITTLE COOKIE!!”

Blueberry milk was baffled at the other sudden demeanor, then shook out of his stupor as he too quickly went his way from the audience’s gaze.

-

A blonde hair cookie looks up, narrow foggy dual color eyes stare up to the sky as clouds pass by gently.

“You're holiness, is everything ok?”

An elderly voice asks in a concerned tone, which makes the other close his eyes, turning his head towards the voice with a small smile.

“Everything is fine.. I’m just wondering if there is a storm underway.”

Which startles the old cookie then they too look up at the sky but they don’t see anything that shows signs about a storm coming but there was nothing, then look back at the other.

“Well.. if there is a storm coming wouldn’t it be announced by the magic cast?”

The blonde tilts his head to the side slightly.

“You are correct.. Maybe it's just I’m worried about what it would bring.”

Which makes the older cookie chuckle while mentioning how thoughtful the priest was, as they begin to walk back to the church.

Chapter Text

Blueberry milk is on the deck letting himself be immersed in the scenery of the clear waters below them shining with the sunlight, in front of him as others around him mingle with each other and the sounds of the wind and laughter. Taking a deep breath the sage eyes became defeated as he thought of having someone with him like a friend to see this view with but he couldn’t think of anyone specifically, which a pit of emptiness filled his surgery through his chest.

It’s been one & half months since he went on his expedition with the crew and each stop that they went to, where siting of a masses of land in the sky that drifting in the sky like it was a cloud, now normally this type of tale would be in story a fiction that his creator’s kind would tell to their young. But giving that many small villages saw it and requested one the main towns to Investigate it and ask for a powerful or smart magicians to look into the this strange phenomenon to see what the cause and if it’s dangerous to cookie kind and so when the airship lands down and him the crew gather the info from the residence about it and when they get new info or confirmation about it, they go back to the the ship and gather in navigate room to look at the map as to where this floating mass is going to so they can intercept it.

Blueberry milk almost once to skip their next destination but knows he can’t  because of the shipments that the ship has for the other towns or passengers. That is when a huge shadow began to cover the ship, at first the blue cookie thought it was a cloud passing by until something hit him on the head, covering his head the magic cookie looked up hoping it wasn’t a fruit bird’s dropping, which no, it wasn’t.

Instead the cookie’s eyes widened in shock to see what they had been chasing the floating island. Then the Captain’s voice spoke loudly in the intercom, making the crew scurry on the deck as fast as they could and the passengers that Blueberry milk could see a worried look or for some that looked up had bewilderment on their face.

As Captain Flan was apologizing to those on his ship for making an unplanned stop, the sage then pushes himself off the railing and sprints as well but to the helm where he assumes that the captain and his crew are at.

Blueberry milk looked up to see that the sails were turning as fast as it can before the air ship begins tilting upwards, though it wasn’t that much of a difference angle it still made the sage tripped backwards but before the blue cookie could hit railing, he felt a strong arm grab his torso and could smell a faint vanilla scent.

“Oui, buddy that was close huh?”

It was a gruff voice and when blueberry looked up to his side and saw a muscling cookie with big creamy eyebrows, the sage nodded while thanking the buff cookie for catching him as Blueberry milk stabilized himself on the railing.

He thanked the other cookie quickly before immediately grabbing the railing and with a determined look on Blueberry milk’s face as he slid down on the rails so he can get to where the Captain was and quickly.

-

A high pitch whistle could be heard as a skeletal being was floating in the center of a cavern, then two different colored lights flickered in its eye’s sockets.

“My my~ what is this?”

A condescending voice could be heard and the skeleton moves its head slightly upward to see golden feathers whipped in the wind, A huge bird like creature shown up, which it’s appearance was huge with around the torso with mouth with sharp teeth on it, then there is another torso but it was humanoid, dark brown skin and like it’s feathers, it’s hair was gold with look of amusement and greed on its feminine face.

“A lost wisp in my territory, what do you need help to cross to the other side?”

They said in a mocking tone, though the undead did not react to the other’s propagation, instead it spoke in a hollow voice.

“I have come here to give you a warning.”

The skeleton eyes stopped glowing as the other let out a oh.

“The witches made each of us individual cookies that can defeat us and seal us primordial away, into a so-called soul jam that these cookies were made with.”

As the undead slowly finished his message a sound of a snicker could be heard from the other.

“Haha.. You mean to say that you would be defeated by a cookie, because let’s be honest here there is no way I would be defeated by these things, they’re even weaker than humans that try to shoot me down.”

Then it laughs some more but the skeleton just stares for a bit before turning around then without saying a word the undead vanish and once alone the creature stops laughing and their expression becomes icy serious.

“What nonsense.”
