Knowledge, Volition, Change, Happiness and Solidarity, the virtues of cookies long since forgotten by time and corruption. Said to bring prosperity to all of earth bread with the powers of their souljams gifted to them by their creators, the witches beings with great power. The Fount of Knowledge, Herald of Change, Bringer of Happiness, Knight of Solidarity and Flour of Volition. cookies baked for one purpose: to bring peace. The five helped earth bread grow with knowledge and happiness, bringing change with volition, leaving solidarity to unite all five virtues.
Great power meant heavy responsibility. The five were the first cookies to be baked in earth bread. Seen as divine cookies by all of earth bread and known only by titles. The five heroes spent centuries following their oaths that were made to keep the peace in all of earthbread. However, the unity of the five was broken and their oaths crumbled.
The very cookies who brought peace to earth bread lost themselves completely, they became tainted with burdens. Finding out the hard way that unity and peace that was once a sworn oath by the five heroes to protect would never last, cookies preferred sweet lies over truth, happiness never lasted, greed overtook cookie's hearts, change would always be a never-ending cycle of sadness and the unity of cookies can crumble just as fast as it brings cookies together.
The five virtues felt trapped and burdened by the destiny and power that was forced upon them by the witches. Therefore, the silver tree sapling was planted with the help of the faerie kingdom and Elder faerie by guarding the sapling so that it could thrive and grow.
The little sapling would grow with magic from the creators of earth bread to make new virtues to give to five new cookies who could help them keep peace and unity in earth bread. However, burdens grew too heavy. One by one corruption overtook the five virtues and chaos was brought to earthbread. Using forbidden magic from the very witches who baked him and his friends.
The knight of solidarity, in anguish at his friends who broke their sworn oaths, regretted not doing anything sooner his anger was as much at himself along with his friends. Covered in jam and crumbs as he stood before Elder Faerie who looked at him with sadness, The knight of solidarity knew a forbidden binding spell that would trap the very beasts he called his friends.
A heavy price was to be paid for the binding ritual on the verge of corruption himself the knight of solidarity would also be sealed within the tree, This very spell would be his one last act of solidarity to stop the chaos his friends brought to earth bread.
The souljams become two halves with the power of the silver tree and the witches: Knowledge became — Truth and Deceit, Happiness became — Passion and Sloth, Volition became — Resolution and Apathy. Change became — Abundance and Destruction and Solidarity became - Freedom and Silence the pure halves were given to worthy cookies who would earn the souljams by proving themselves centuries later after the beasts were sealed in the silver tree, elder faerie swore an oath to protect and guard the tree so that earth bread will not see the destruction and chaos of the beasts again. The corrupted halves stayed with their true holders and the truth of how the beast's cookies were sealed was never to be known by cookiekind or the sacrifice the Knight of solidarity brought upon himself to save the very place he was destined to protect.
Now with the return of the beasts, who broke from the silver trees, Ancient hero’s, worthy cookies who received the pure halves of the souljams of Happiness, Change, Knowledge, Volition and Solidarity go up against their other halves, the corrupted beasts. With all the ancients winning their battles against their counter parts, awakening their souljams and white lily in the land of silence to go up against Silent salt cookie her breasts counter part, One hero the purest of the five ancient cookies believes that sealing the beasts in the silver tree would only cause resentment, he understands the beasts cookies, good souls corrupted by burdens and pain.
