    Summary

    Two of his students have questions. The questions leave his students' mouths at the same time, and reach his ears simultaneously.

    The Fount considers the problem before him.

    The next morning, there are two Founts.

    Two Founts can answer twice as many questions — this encourages yet more questions.

    Therefore, by the end of the week, there are five Founts.

    Congratulations!

    Whether you earned your place through examination, recommendation, scholarship, transfer, or sheer stubbornness, welcome to Blueberry Yoghurt Academy!

    If you're reading this, then you have likely heard the rumors — frankly, all of Earthbread has, at this point.

    No, they are not exaggerated.

    Yes, all twenty six members of the faculty are Blueberry Milk Cookie, Fount of All Knowledge, one of the five divine Virtues.

    Yes, they're all the same cookie.

    No, we don't understand it either; though not for lack of trying, on the Blueberries' parts.

    Or: in which the Fount(s?) of All Knowledge never (?) fall(s) (...?)

    Summary

    What lingers first in Pure Vanilla’s memory are two eyes— cyan and blue.

    They were not simply colors, not merely shades to be catalogued among the blossoms that lined the Vanilla hills. They were shadows caught in ice, stars buried in snow. And in the middle of all that frost, a boy who looked too small for the crown that would one day press against his brow, eyes too large for the timid boy who held them.

    Pure Vanilla had not known then that love could strike so young.

    He had thought it the sort of thing that bloomed late, like the orchids that only flowered when the sun coaxed them after patient months of waiting.

    But with Shadow Milk, it was not coaxed— it was immediate.

    Pure Vanilla is six, and he knows he's in love.

    (It never changes)

    Summary

    Pure Vanilla has known his fate had been set since his birth; he was to be married to Lady Azure, to ensure her families loyalties remain tied to his kingdom. As Prince, he'd made his peace with it as simply yet another responsibility to uphold. Though, he'd certainly be happier if he actually met her, and if the rumors he keeps hearing of her painted a far more flattering image. When the day finally comes, he's quite surprised to find Lady Azure is nothing as he'd expected; and he determines that he can't quite stop himself from trying to understand her, no matter how hidden she tries to remain. There's just something so strange about her; like she knows more than she lets on.

    ~Expect irregular updates!

    Summary

    It has been three months since the Healer was taken prisoner by the Witch. Alone and starving, he clings onto hope of one day escaping.

    But one small act of kindness begets another, and soon the blind man finds himself with three little mice visiting his cell. At first, he is grateful for the newfound company, but that quickly turns into curiosity when it seems there's more to these "mice" than it seems.

    Meanwhile, Wizard and Strawberry really wish Gingerbrave would stop getting these crazy ideas....

    Summary

    There’s a sound itching at the back of his mind, a soft repetition that’s forcing Pure Vanilla’s eyes back open with its unfamiliarity. He mumbles a groan, pushing himself up in bed as he brushes back the hair from his forehead and reaches for the staff beside him. As his hand finds purchase, he lifts it up high and scans the room around him.

    Pure Vanilla’s vision may still be blurred from blinking back sleep, but there’s a familiar blue form seated at his dresser.

    “Shadow Milk Cookie?”

    The form turns; bright white hair sways from the movement, spilling over slender shoulders and adorned with a large blue bow. Sharp eyes peer at him, framed by an unkind smile curved in a smirk.

    “Aw,” is all but sneered. “Miss him already?”
