The war had ended. Peace had once again been established across Earthbread. But not without loss. Thousands of cookies had suffered and passed on in the great battles as they commenced.
...
A cookie, or dragon even, that Hollyberry held very closely in her heart was...nowhere. Just gone...no trace.
Hollyberry sat at her balcony window, looking down at the palace garden below. She was deep in thought. Victory was theirs...but too much had been lost, not just Pitaya Dragon, but White Lily cookie too...
Still, while with White Lily she was extremely saddened, the thought of Pitaya Dragon being dead hit in an entirely different way. She couldn't understand why. Maybe it's because White Lily's death is certain? She knows what happened at least, but with Pitaya Dragon...

They can't be gone. They wouldn't let themselves go out like that. Never. It would at least hold up a clear struggle, a large fight. Not just...dead. But that's what made the disappearance stranger.
"Where could you be, you stupid old lizard...", Hollyberry whispered, her voice breaking.
