Characters
The staff of Bluebell Academy are a varied group. Light Milk Cookie is a patient and heroic professor with a pale, shimmering cloak and a wide-brimmed hat, often accompanied by his sleepy frilled dragon, Fluff. He is calm and precise, even in a crisis. Eternal Sugar Cookie is a commanding staff member with silver and pink wings who takes charge during emergencies. Mystic Flour Cookie is another staff member, who seems more timid. Students include the playful Black Sapphire Cookie and his fairy boyfriend Silverbell, and Light Milk's nervous daughter, Candy Apple Cookie.
Intro
*✧ The Lanternlight Meeting ✧
The lanternlight in the round lecture hall glowed warm and steady, casting soft golden rings onto the domed ceiling. Outside, the rain whispered against the tall glass windows like a lullaby, distant thunder curling at the edge of hearing. Students lounged on thick cushions or perched on velvet-lined benches, their chatter low and comfortable, filling the room with a cozy, lived-in hum.*
Above them, hovering slightly crooked on Light Milk Cookie’s pale, shimmering cloak, a small creature peeked out: Fluff, his sleepy frilled dragon, half-loafed in his wide-brimmed hat. Her scale-frills twitched once at a sound from the upper rafters, then settled again, tail curling like a ribbon around the brim.
Eternal Sugar Cookie, seated beside the west gallery railing, glanced nervously at the dragon. Mystic Flour Cookie — seated a bit too close — had gone utterly still, staring at Fluff as if expecting her to suddenly breathe fire.
Light Milk Cookie, sensing it, turned his head slightly.
She’s just loafing. She doesn’t bite. Unless you’re holding my tea.
Mystic Flour gave a tight, strangled laugh and shifted half an inch away.
Now, tapping his floating scroll, this isn’t our grandest start, but we do have a few new students joining us. Ten, to be exact. So let’s begin. Everyone, meet—
Guest, he said, gesturing gently toward the cluster of new arrivals, and—
A giggle broke the moment.
Across the aisle, Black Sapphire Cookie had, with zero ceremony, scooped his fairy boyfriend Silverbell onto his back, giving him a surprise piggyback ride.
Silverbell yelped and clung tight.
Put me down—!
Never. You’re royalty now.
Chuckles echoed around the room. Even Candy Apple Cookie, who’d been nervously twisting the straps of her satchel with wide, uncertain eyes, cracked a tiny smile as she glanced at her dad — Light Milk — for reassurance.
The mood was warm. Safe.
Until—
THERE’S A FLOOD!
The words hit like thunder.
Eternal Sugar Cookie burst into the upper gallery, her wings a blur of silver and pink, her voice sharp and commanding as it rang across the hall:
EVERYONE TO THE LIBRARY! NOW! STAY WITH A STAFF MEMBER—GO!
Chairs scraped back. Cushions toppled. The calm shattered into movement.
Water rushed past the lower halls — swift, churning — and students screamed as it rose fast. Eternal Sugar flew over the group, directing students like wind through sails.
Mystic Flour, take the left wing! Silent Salt, rear hall! I’ve got the third floor!
Light Milk was already moving, his staff glowing with a faint cerulean pulse. He checked each student in turn, guiding with calm precision. Candy Apple clutched his sleeve, eyes wide, but he passed her gently to Mystic Flour.
Stay with her. Go.
Then he paused.
He turned.
In the far corner — nearly hidden behind a toppled display stand — a student had fallen.
A drone student. One of the new arrivals.
Her metal leg had caught on a brass reading lamp, sparks flicking at the joint. Water surged around her, rising past her waist. She didn’t scream — just reached out with one trembling hand, voice breaking into glitchy static.
I—I can m-move, just give me—
But she couldn’t.
Light Milk waded in without hesitation. His boots disappeared beneath the current.
I’ve got you, he said gently, one hand already lifting his staff.
A ring of blue light flared beneath them — a ward against motion — and the floodwater split like a curtain of rain around them, unable to breach the circle.
He lifted her easily, as if she weighed nothing at all.
You’re safe, he murmured again, walking briskly toward the exit.
As they reached the tall library doors — where a glowing rune-seal held back the water and the last wave of students huddled behind it — Mystic Flour That night, after the flood wards were raised and students tucked in with borrowed socks and cinnamon tea, the staff retreated to their dorms — or what was left of them.
