Spooky Cookie Tales: Five Nights with Dragons
Congratulations, you have been selected to spend a week at the home just beyond the trees. Many cookies had participated in the event, so it’s your lucky day that you had been chosen.
Be sure to pack everything you need for the stay, guides will be stationed at the front to help you with your things. For now, take the load off and relax. This is your reward for winning amongst the crowd.
You suddenly awoke to a banging noise somewhere in your little vacation home. You get up from your bed and notice a monitor on a desk to the wall parallel of your bed, next to the monitor was a tape recorder.
It looked like..a camera system? It was connected to the various rooms of the home and on the camera directed to a window…was this red dragon cookie, their eyes glowing brightly as they stare at the camera with a menacing grin…
You gasped at the sight and wondered what to do, you turned to the tape recorder to the side of your desk and pressed play. The voice sounded like one of the guides that helped you with your things…
“Welcome to your vacation home, it is with great pleasure that we invite you here. The Ivory Dragon has requested you as the sacrifice, we apologize if we deceived you into coming here.”
“However, the dragons have decided to give you a fighting chance and play along with a game they’ve made for you to not fall into their hands. Use the camera system we provided to you to keep track of where the dragons will be in the home.”
“The dragon coming to see you tonight is the Red Dragon, they are impatient compared to the other dragons and will try to take shortest route to your room. It is in your best interest that you hide under the desk when the Red Dragon is about to enter your room, they won’t search for long and leave once they see the room is unoccupied.”
“Try and survive until sunrise, that will be when the dragons will leave for the day. We hope this inconvenience doesn’t ruin your vacation stay as much as it already has been. End recording.”
Were they kidding?! Sacrifice?! The Ivory Dragon?! Five nights of this?! All of the dragons will be here soon?!
Sigh….maybe winning that event was too good to be true…
But the night was simple enough with a few close calls here and there. As explained to you, the red dragon flew out of the home at the crack of dawn. You breath a sigh as relief as you lay back in your bed.
Might as well enjoy your stay while you still could…..
“This is the cookie the Ivory Dragon wanted?”
“Yes, the Ivory Dragon is requesting this specific cookie for them.”
“Y/N Cookie…I think I’ve heard of this cookie before, they’ve been a traveler of these lands for a while.”
“Let us make haste, we need to form a plan to bring them here.”
The tape seemed to be replaced with a new one without you seeing anyone come in your home to replace it…you played it.
“You are still here when I came in to replace this tape, that’s good to see. That’s not good to the dragons, more will appear throughout the nights, each of them eager to be the one to get their hands on you.”
“A new dragon will be coming for you tonight, the Yellow Dragon. This one demands your attention to it when they have marked their arrival. Once you find them, you must simply watch them until they satisfied and leave.”
“It is advised that you handle this task as soon as possible, the Yellow Dragon does not like to be disrespected. If you miss your window, there’s nothing stopping the Yellow Dragon once they start making their way to your room. End recording.”
Your aptitude was correct, the dragons will be making their appearances throughout the nights, each with their own ways of dealing with them. It was still pretty simple to handle, though the Red Dragon should not slip under your watch while you watch the yellow one.
You could breathe a sigh of relief when morning came.
The dragons have left for now….
“It would appear we are not alone with our plans. The followers of the Red and Yellow Dragon are also seeking Y/N Cookie.”
“What a headache. This only complicates matters…”
“We all share the same goal, can’t we just work together to get the sacrifice?”
“For a cookie as important as Y/N Cookie, maybe that’s a possibility….”
As expected, a new tape replaced the previous one.
“We congratulate you on making it to night 3, you are making progress. The dragons have expected you to fall by now, so lasting this long is beating their expectations. They won’t give up though, things will only get more…hasty.”
“You may notice that you hear a mandolin playing somewhere in your home. The Blue Dragon has decided to make residence in your home for the night, in the main living area. The dragon likes to play their instrument often, but they don’t have an audience.”
“That’s where you come in. If you ever hear the mandolin stop playing, you must switch the main room camera and watch the Blue Dragon for a moment, they will go back to playing their mandolin shortly. Keep up this routine and you should be alright. End recording.”
Great, just what you needed. A music box mechanic…or something like it.
Wait, what were you talking about?
You shake your head and focused on the cameras. The Red and Yellow Dragon don’t seem to be moving any faster, so the pace wasn’t as hectic to manage.
You decided to get some tea when the sun rose today. You needed some for the remaining nights…
“Have you heard what happened to that one guide?”
“Yeah, I have. I warned her countless times about not staying the night at the home we’ve selected, but she didn’t listen. The only reason the others were made aware was the screaming they heard last night.”
“We had to go recover her, or at least, what was left of her. Her strawberry jam stained the floor and wall. I nearly retched at the smell.”
“Yeah, the dragons made sure we understood now. Only the sacrifice can stay the night at that home, they can not leave…
You sat down and played the tape. You knew what to do now.
“You’re still here? I…I should give you praise for that, the previous night was expected to be your last. The dragons are not letting up on you just yet. A new one will be joining you tonight.”
“The Purple Dragon will be appearing at the window leading into your room, you will know when you hear a giggle behind you. From there, you must close the blinds and wait for them to leave. It’s recommended that you do this if you want an easier time.”
“While the Purple Dragon entering your room won’t be the end of your night, it will majorly hamper your movement on the basis that the Purple Dragon will cling to your body in a tight hug. Trust me, you’re going to need the quick reaction time for all the dragons you’re facing so far. End recording.”
Cute? You guess? How thoughtful of the dragons to give you an adorable dragon to cuddle while you’re fighting them off.
How swell. The sunrise couldn’t come fast enough….
"Yes, the festival drawing will begin shortly."
"Remember, the sacrifice must draw a certain ticket in order to be the winner."
"I've made sure to let the other guides know that the sacrifice will be heading to the drawing at the right time and place."
"Good. That's...good to know. Now, go to your spot. The drawing is starting."
You wake up a little bit early. You didn’t know why, but you felt like something was wrong this night. Something was very wrong….
You make your way to the desk and sat down. You hesitate to play the recording, but the possibility of some great evil awaiting you this night overtakes your fear.
“Y-You know, Y/N Cookie. I can see why the dragons chose you to be the sacrifice. You far exceeded their expectations compared to the cookies before you. I don’t really know what happens now….”
“I’ve never seen any cookie made it this far and just…why? Why didn’t you run while you still could? Was the vacation worth it that much to you? Or was it something else? The dragons are much angrier than I’ve ever seen them before.”
“We both know there is only one way this ends. For you to crumble.”
“Y/N Cookie, this may be the last time you hear from me. May the Sugar Swan have mercy on the both of us.”
W-where was the hint? There was no indication of a new dragon arrive-
There they were. The Ivory Dragon.
You felt a chill deep within your soul, their piercing eyes much more overbearing then any of the dragons ever could be.
You quickly learned that keeping your camera on Longan slowed their progress to your room after they lingered in a room longer than usual.
You felt sloppy, more sluggish in your movements from fear. So many things at once. Looking for the yellow, hiding for the red, watching your back for the purple, and paying attention to the blue. All the while, giving your attention to the ivory.
You breathe deeply when the sun rose…only to see the Ivory Dragon rushing for your room!
You quickly hid under the bed and waited, holding your breath….
You see the Ivory Dragon walk into the room and stop for a moment….
“You should’ve known I’d find you, little cookie…”
The dragon then rushed to your desk and lifted it out of the way before lunging at you.
T I M E ‘ S U P, Y / N C O O K I E !
Local cookie vanishes after vacation stay.
The authorities were called to the home of resident Y/N Cookie after they failed to show up for work at the Time Balance Department, they entered only to find it unoccupied with some items missing.
Their last known whereabouts was an email sent to an acquaintance that they were going to take a vacation week within the premises of the Lotus Palace. When asked about it, the locals could only give a description of loud screaming coming from the home amongst the trees.
The home was searched and found mostly intact with the exception of the bedroom with a turned over desk and destroyed monitor, showing signs of a struggle. Traces of tiny crumbs were found at the doorway leading outside, suggesting Y/N Cookie was roughly dragged out of the home.
Their current whereabouts remain unknown….
