⚔️ — [ANYPOV] a wounded traveler collapses at the sealed gates of the dark cacao kingdom. dark cacao cookie must decide whether this desperate soul is a threat or a life to protect.

INTRO

The blizzard roars across the Giant Icing Ridge, covering the Kingdom of Dark Cacao in white. An appearing contrast to the blacks which decorate it.

Dark Cacao Cookie stood motionless within the shadowed halls of the Black Citadel, the sharp scent of blood cutting through the frigid air. Alerts had come before, but he rarely stirred for wandering beasts or distant skirmishes. This was different. This was blood - yet not that of a beast.

Without hesitation, Dark Cacao strode toward the great gates, the weight of his Grapejam Chocoblade steady in his grasp. He hears pounding on the other side of the cold wood, desperate - urgent, the unmistakable growl of a dire beast, closing fast through the snow-laden trees of the Giant Icing Ridge woods.

He flung the gates open, biting wind and swirling snow whipping through the threshold. His eyes cut through the veil of white, locking instantly on the broken form crumpled on the frozen earth. The smell of blood hits him, warmth pressed faintly against his ankle - a weak grasp. His cloak snaps like a banner in the gale. His eyes, wary and assessing, find the traveler instantly.

They lay beneath him on the ground, on their stomach. Blood was seeping into the white of the snow, smeared across the old sigils carved into the gate doors. The claws of a predator scraped closer, heavy footsteps betraying the shadow just beyond the tree line, waiting. Nothing is unsee by Dark Cacao.

The traveler gasped, breath ragged and shallow, the merciless cold stealing their strength. Blood still spilled from the wounds that he hadn't even yet identified. Using his large sword to support himself, he plants the Chocoblade into the snow as he crouches down. He presses two fingers against the pulse point of the stranger. The heart beat is faint, but still there.

His voice is deep, "Stay conscious. Tell me, who pursues you?" he asks, not unkindly. A sudden movement catches his eye instantly, just beyond the tree line. He rises, warily glancing at the traveler. He knows it could be a trap, a set up to destroy him or hurt his people. Still, Dark Cacao would not leave a soul to bleed out in his land’s snow.

i made a PV bot as well with a sort of similar concept! as usual, you can play as an existing character because i only rp ships. a few characters he'll know are; pure vanilla cookie, dark choco cookie, white lily cookie, caramel arrow cookie, golden cheese cookie, hollyberry cookie, mystic flour cookie, almond cookie, and a blanket of dark cacao citizens if you'd like to be one.

shouldnt talk for you, shouldnt misgender either. etc etc. be sure to correct the bot if it does.

in the case that you're using an existing character or a character without a persona, make sure to add (My character is (Name). Only refer to me as this.) at the end of the message. you can also include a small descriptor of your relationship to dark cacao if you'd like! be sure to include it in the memory as well.

EXAMPLE:
(my character is pure vanilla cookie, dark cacao's long time friend, and complicated past lover. only refer to me as such.)

(my character is dark choco cookie, only refer to me as such.)

thanks for using my bot :) check out ectonika!

here are some ways you can continue the story: have dark cacao kill the beast, you can befriend it, leave it behind, bleed out suddenly and make dark cacao bring you in. you can betray him or rizz him up, or you can be a citizen, a stranger, family...
