School is torturing my sleep schedule but I'm hanging in there 😭💀

Pomegranate: my deepest apologies master but something... Unexpected happened without my knowing...
Dark Enchantress: and what exactly happened...?
Pomegranate: the gem with the soul of the cookie whom I trapped in is in another cookies hands... Licorice cookie has failed in the task of getting rid of it...
Licorice: ah...! A thousand apologies master! I didn't know better at the time!
Dark Enchantress: hmm...
Pomegranate: what should we do master? What if he gets free from the prison?
Dark Enchantress: Pomegranate cookie... Do tell me... Who is holding the gem of that cookie...?
Pomegranate: it is Fire Spirit cookie master
Dark Enchantress: hmp... Fire Spirit cookie eh? Haha... Excellent... Then I have the perfect solution for our little predicament... Hahaha...

Dark enchantress voice echos through the darkness of the large building in the dead of night, while in the shadows another cookie heard their conversation as they view the moonlight at the window, the brilliant light from the moon was shining through the window glistening something that emanated a purple glow.

As the silent night is still cold as ever, Zephyr looks outside the window, tho half of his face is covered in flowers it is still easy to tell that he was concern about something as he looks at the moon and then at Fire Spirit who was sleeping peacefully in his bed, snoring a little loudly, Zephyr sighs as he uses a blanket to cover up Fire Spirit and look at him fondly, ever sience they met Zephyr has slowly grown fond of Fire Spirit although he doesn't exactly know why himself... Fire Spirit is loud, talkative and too confident at times... And yet Zephyr seems to never have a issue about it when it comes to him... Zephyr shakes his head and returns to the gem and rest for the night.

The next morning Fire Spirit woke up and prepared himself to go to school as he explains to Zephyr his plan for the entire day

Fire Spirit: and that's when I ran to the outside of his office and catch him by surprise! He'll have to talk to me then!
Zephyr: you sound so excited to ambush someone just to ask them about some crystal gem...
Fire Spirit: I mean duh, if we want you to be free we're gonna need some info on where it came from first
Zephyr: you're that excited to get rid of me huh?
Fire Spirit: what? What makes you think that?! I want to help set you free so I can know the real you in person airhead! Come on! Pick up the paste! We got a busy day ahead of us!

For the rest of the morning was normal school routine for Fire Spirit, he goes to classes, plays sports with his club, talk and eat at the cafeteria with his friends and complains about homework, once school was finally over Fire Spirit was quick to pack all of his things and ran out of the door and went in search for Millennial tree cookies office, Millennial tree is rarely seen by any students /excepts for trouble makers/ because he is always busy working inside his office and would only leave at late hours, Fire Spirit took the opportunity to stand and wait outside of the school gate as he watches all the students leave

Zephyr: it's getting late... Are you sure you want to stay out here any longer..?
Fire Spirit: relax it's fine, I told Taya that I would be home late today, besides this is the only way for us to actually catch the great tree leaving! Trust me I know what I'm doing
???: you sound so sure of yourself...
Fire Spirit: huh?

Fire Spirit turns around and sees a black hair cookie who wears a school uniform with a black hoodie tied around his waste walking out of the corner of the road, the cookie has a blank expression but his eyes were covered by a blindfold, Fire Spirit notice a particular gem on this cookies forehead, it was purple and diamond shaped, it strangely resembles Zephyrs gem, Fire Spirit raises his eyebrows at the random cookie who suddenly appeared out of nowhere but Zephyr seems shocked to see him

Zephyr: Fire... You need to run.
Fire Spirit: what?
Zephyr: you need to run!
Fire Spirit: why? It's just some random guy, what is he gonna do-

The dark hair cookie was wielding a bow and shot arrows with dark energy merged within right at Fire Spirit and he quickly dodges it.

Zephyr: there's no time to explain! Just run!
???: oh leaving so soon? We haven't met for so long and you already want to leave...

Fire Spirit quickly spread open his wings and take flight into the sky, he looks back and sees that the dark hair cookie too has wings and his flying after them

Fire Spirit: what the heck is going on?! Why is he following us?! And do you know who he is?!
Zephyr: he's me!
Fire Spirit: what?!
Zephyr: that's Night Raven! He's a corrupted version of me! I don't recall how he was made but you cannot get hit by his arrows! Or you'll be corrupted too!
Fire Spirit: what the heck does this guy want?!
Zephyr: he must've somehow found out you are holding my emerald and is here to finish us both off! You have to find a way to lose him!
Fire Spirit: alright, sounds easy enough

Fire Spirit stops flying in his tracks and summons his staff, he then launches a few fireball attacks at Night Raven who blocks and dodges all of them, a big screen of smoke appears when he blocks the attacks making him cough, he looks back and sees that Fire Spirit has disappeared

Night Raven: so we're playing the hiding game now... How pathetic...

Fire Spirit: phew... Ok I think we lost him...
???: Fire Spirit cookie? What are you doing here?
Fire Spirit: ahhh! Oh... Heeeeey Millennial tree cookie! Your just the cookie I need to meet! Well- not right now, I'm kinda hiding from someone but say have you seen this gem before?
Millennial: this emerald... Yes I have seen this before, where did you get it?
Fire Spirit: oh you knooooow I found it at my new house when I moved in but that's not important! Right now there's a soul of a cookie trapped in here! Are they cursed or trapped! Please I need to know so I can free them!

Millennial tree cookie holds the gem gently in his hands as he observes it, noticing the quality of the stone and the way it's shaped, Zephyr had a strange feeling inside his head as he watch this wise tree hold his gem so gently, it some how feels familiar to him, Millennial tree cookie finally notices the details within the gem and looks at Fire Spirit cookie

Millennial tree: I can indeed sense a soul lingering within this gem but I sense no anger or anguished that is holding them bound to this gem so it must be-
Night Raven: the end of the line

Both Millennial tree cookie and Fire Spirit cookie looked at the person who spoke, it was Night Raven who is now holding the bow aiming it at them

Night Raven: not another move... Try something funny and I will shoot...
Fire Spirit: damnit...
Millennial tree: what is going on? You... I have seen you before...
Fire Spirit: Millennial tree I'm gonna need you to take the gem inside! I'll handle this guy myself!
Millennial tree: no Fire Spirit cookie-
Night Raven: your a cocky type aren't you... Fine, it's more entertaining this way

The two of them both launch attacks at each other as one another flies in the air to avoid the others attacks, Fire Spirit summon his hydras and make them continuously attacking Night Raven who dodges the attacks and shoots the hydras making them disappear only to be distracted and gets attacked by a sneak attack from Fire Spirit, Night Raven fell down the ground with parts of his wing burned from the attack, he looks up at Fire Spirit as half of his blindfold was burned off revealing his purple eye

Fire Spirit: ha! Serves you right! That's what you get for playing with fire pal! So you were saying Mille?
Millennial tree: . . . I don't believe there will be any consequences in destroying the gem... And if I am correct the soul trapped within should be free...
Fire Spirit: alright then! Get ready Zephyr! Your about to be free!

Fire Spirit grabs the emerald and heat it up with his flames then smash it in his bare hands, a powerful energy burst from the broken fragments of the gem making a strong wind vortex, leaves were gathered into the small vortex as a figure of a cookie appeared and spread wide a pair of wings, a bird made from the energy of the wind circles the cookie revealing their true form and flies away, Fire Spirit looks at the cookie in shock as he sees Zephyr finally in a real body, he looks as Zephyr slowly lands on the ground and the flowers on his face fell off revealing his eyes, that's when he finally recognised the cookie who he has kept along side him this whole time

Fire Spirit: Wind Archer cookie...?

Zephyr looks at Fire Spirit for a moment before showing a small warm smile

Wind Archer: it's good to see you again... Firey...

Before Fire Spirit could say anything Wind Archer fell unconscious, Fire Spirit quickly catches him in his arms, Millennial tree quickly bends down to check if he was alright, he let's out a sigh of relief once he finds out that he's just asleep

Millennial tree: it's alright, he's just unconscious...
Fire Spirit: good.... So what do we do with him?

They both look at Night Raven who struggled to stood up with his one injured wing, Fire Spirit wanted to set him on fire again but another figure appeared and descended from the sky shielding Night Raven with his wings before anyone did anything.

Fire Spirit: what the... Ash?!
Ash: sorry sparky but I'll be taking this back... Have fun with your little birdy there

Lord of the Ash simply carried Night Raven in his arms and fly away, Night Ravens blindfold was completely burned off and he was annoyed being carried in the Lord of Ashes hands, he groans as he uses his remaining wing to cover his face.

Night Raven: ugh... Who the hell told you to come here...
Ash: nobody, I knew the little fire would scare away the bird so I had to follow you.
Night Raven: your the worst...
Ash: love you too asshole
