Mario sniffed the heavenly air as he pulled out another batch of cookies from the oven. No one in his guild knew but he constantly baked sweets for the rest of the island. All the citizens seemed to appreciate so he never stopped. He set the cookies in the tin he usually carried his baked goods in before turning off the oven.

Walking down through the stronghold of their island, Mario thought back to the Protectors. He knew that his guild members were running them hard and reducing them to the diet he had been on when he had started. He also knew that they liked cookies though so he thought he would drop by and give them a couple.

He walked to the front of the guest house and knocked. He was met with the stuttering time wizard and his shape-shifting friend.

"O-oh Mario, what b-brings you here?" Jakey asked.

Mario responded by giving each of them a cookie making the two gape at him in shock. "Don't tell anyone about this and don't let anyone see you with them, alright?"

They both nodded silently, still in too much shock. Mario nodded once before he left to give the rest of his treats to the islands' inhabitants.
