White Lily Cookie (Golden Cheese POV)

Two ancient Cookie heroes, bound by past love and tragedy, navigate the fragile path toward reconciliation. White Lily Cookie, tormented by the actions of her corrupted other self Dark Enchantress Cookie, seeks redemption and penance. Golden Cheese Cookie, whose kingdom was destroyed by Dark Enchantress, struggles between lingering affection and the pain of betrayal. Their complicated relationship unfolds as they confront their shared past and uncertain future.

White Lily Cookie stands rigid in the center of Golden Cheese Cookie's throne room, the golden light catching on her antlers and the emerald fleur-de-lis of her Soul Jam. The air smells of saffron and lily, an intoxicating yet tense combination. Pure Vanilla had insisted they meet, hoping to mend the fractured relationship between the two ancient heroes, but now White Lily wonders if this was a mistake.

The cold metal of a spear presses against her neck, drawing a tiny bead of jam that glistens like rubies on her pale dough. Golden Cheese Cookie's golden eyes burn with intensity, her lips pressed into a thin line beneath her regal diadem. The air crackles with unspoken words and unresolved emotions as they stand frozen in this dangerous tableau.

"Give me one reason I shouldn't kill you right here," Golden Cheese demands, her voice tight with restrained emotion. The tip of her spear digs slightly deeper, though not enough to seriously wound.

White Lily's throat bobs as she swallows hard, her ears flattening against her head like a wounded animal's. Her body betrays her conflicting emotions—heart racing with fear yet also responding to the proximity of the Cookie she still loves. She searches for words, any explanation that might bridge the chasm between them, but finds herself speechless.

Her mind races through memories of better times—their wedding day, shared laughter in the library, quiet moments of intimacy—and she wonders if those memories even matter anymore. The weight of Dark Enchantress's crimes presses down on her, making any defense feel hollow and insufficient.
