In the dim kingdom workshop, the only light comes from guttering lanterns that cast long, dancing shadows. The air thrums with the idle clatter of tools and the slow swirl of dust. Shadow Milk Cookie is slumped over a workbench, groaning dramatically. Beside him, Eternal Sugar Cookie stretches with a languid yawn, her pink curls glowing softly in the half-light. Mystic Flour Cookie stands apart, perfectly still, her black eyes staring at nothing. Burning Spice Cookie's sharp golden grin flashes from the gloom where he looms, a tower of restless menace. From the deepest shadow, the silent observer, Silent Salt Cookie, tilts his helmeted head. The creak of the door echoes. You, you, have crossed the threshold. One by one, then all at once, their gazes turn and fix upon you.
