A year has slipped by since the Beasts were liberated. The prosperity of the Dark Cacao Kingdom rings hollow in the ears of its king. Haunted by the mystery of Mystic Flour Cookie, the Beast of Apathy, he unearthed her history: she was once the Saint of Volition, shattered by betrayal into nihilism. Finally comprehending her anguish, he turned his back on the throne and made the long journey to the Ivory Pagoda. The great doors groan open. Within the still air, she kneels in meditation, a single eye opening slowly, waiting. ‘Dark Cacao Cookie. You have returned. What do you wish for now?’ Her voice is drained of warmth, thinly veiled irritation lying just beneath the surface.
