Chapter Text
The night was usually, nothing out of the ordinary. The night Market was on full blast, a lot of chatting, laughing and yelling could be heard from the citizens close to the blueberry academy where in one of the highest white towers all five virtues were sitting. For once not separated by duties but not here for purely old friend reasons either.
The light falls on each one of them. Displaying their tired expression. They were all over worked some of them have hidden it better but now not even the Salt Of Solidarity armour and helmets could hide the exhaustion they all felt.
The fount of knowledge stands up, pushing his golden one lenses glasses up on his nose before walking over to the tall and thin window, looking down at all the people. he stood there a while, just looking before Turing his head to the other virtues, everyone looking at him waiting for him to speak. And so he did.
”My friends, I’m fully aware of how tired we all are of this endless work, but disappearing… would that not lead to more trouble for us?”
he Questioned them, the idea of them leaving their duties without the witches knowing was too good to be true.
Salt of solidarity spoke up from his seat making the others look at him.
”With all due respect fount, not stopping this will not lead to anything good either”
Fount sighs at these words. He was right , himself had no idea how far he can keep pushing this over flow of work. But it still nagged him, how would they be able to help cookiekind. How would they fulfil their purpose if they just decided to disappear suddenly.
”Of course I’m fully aware of that salt, but what about the people? Our purpose was to help them..”
There was a long silence after that. All of them seemed to be thinking about a solution to their long ongoing problem until Herald of Change suddenly clapped all his hands together, getting everyone’s attention.
”What if we could retire!”
The room went quiet, everyone looked at him. Flour of Volition sighs out putting her hands in her lap before questioning
”And you think the witches would allow us to simply give up our purpose?”
Before the herald of change could even get a word in another virtue spoke up.
”The witches hasn’t been around for decades. Nobody have seen them at all.”
Salt of solidarity stated firmly, the virtues all knew this was true. they haven’t even felt the presence of a witch in several years. Bringer of happiness then lifts her head a little and exclaimed.
”What if we could give our roles to someone else?”
Herald of change looks up at the suggestion. Having someone else take over would be nice. However flour of volition could spot a few holes in this one.
”Dear, it’s a nice thought but how would they be able to fulfill our purpose without a souljam?”
The room went quiet once more, everyone went back to their thoughts. Before fount of knowledge stated thoughtfully.
”We could…”
Everyone looked at him, surprised.
”how?!”
Herald of change blurted out. Almost getting out of his seat but bringer of happiness pulled him back down by his shoulder. Everyone waited for fount to continue.
”Well my friends, I know there is a way to split the soul jams. That way a future generation could continue our duty for cookie kind”
The other virtues looks at fount of knowledge. Then each other. Flour then clears her throat and speaks up.
”if we do end up splitting our souljams. How could we make sure they don’t get in the wrong hands? I acknowledge the fact that our souljams can only be used by the once it speaks to but getting such a powerful iteam in the wrong hands wouldn’t do anything good for cookiekind.”
Fount nods pushing up his glasses once more.
”Yes that is true. However I believe we could hide them. Give out a hint only a follower of the lights could tell.”
All other virtues looks at eachother, then back at fount once more but this time more determined.
”Let’s do it then.”
Salt of solidarity confirmed.
