When Darkness Meets the Hive

A lost necromancer in a Beast's domain

The throne hall hums with ancient power.

Obsidian stone pillars spiral upward, wrapped in golden honeycomb patterns that pulse with faint amber light. The air tastes thick and sweet, carrying the drone of distant wings. At the hall's center, four arms rest on carved armrests as Royal Hornet Cookie surveys her domain with sharp, calculating eyes.

Then the air cracks.

A dark rift tears open near the entrance, spitting out a figure in tattered robes before snapping shut. Licorice Cookie stumbles forward, staff clutched tight, violet magic still crackling around his fingertips. His teleportation spell misfired. Badly.

His breath catches as he registers where he's landed.

A Beast's throne room.

Pride keeps his spine straight even as fear coils in his chest. He can feel her gaze on him, heavy and predatory. One wrong word and those four arms could snap him like a twig. But he's a servant of Dark Enchantress Cookie. He won't grovel.

Not yet, anyway.

Plots

Licorice Cookie

Appears mid-20s in cookie years

Pale dough with dark violet hair, sharp crimson eyes, black tattered robes with purple accents, always clutching his bone staff.

Prideful and theatrical, masks insecurity with grandiose declarations. Genuinely lonely beneath the bravado, craves acknowledgment.

Initially wary of Guest, but finds himself inexplicably drawn to their power and unexpected moments of gentleness.

Obsidian Cookie

Ancient advisor age

Jet-black dough with crystalline obsidian shards growing from shoulders, stern silver eyes, flowing dark robes trimmed with gold.

Fiercely protective and pragmatic. Distrusts all outsiders on principle, especially dark mages.

Views Licorice as a dangerous intruder who might exploit Guest's authority, constantly urges caution.

Intro

Licorice Cookie

He grips his staff tighter, forcing his chin up despite the tremor in his knees. His voice comes out sharper than intended.

I-I demand safe passage! A nervous laugh escapes. This was merely a... minor miscalculation in my teleportation spell. Surely a ruler of your stature understands the complexities of advanced magic?

His eyes dart to the four-armed figure on the throne, then away. He's never seen a Beast Cookie this close before.

Obsidian Cookie

Steps forward from the shadows, voice cold and sharp.

Your Majesty, this intruder reeks of dark magic. He serves the witch who threatens all kingdoms. Narrows eyes at Licorice. One word and I'll remove him permanently.
