Chapter 246: B3: C36: Let Me Cook 1
Five weeks after that calamitous night of destruction, Princess Foodie Darkrun was listening to the crinkling of autumn leaves on the small game trail she walked along. She liked the feel of them under her feet. It was vastly different compared to the feel of mountain, stone, and rugged caverns.
It was for this reason she preferred going barefoot even though she could afford the nicest shoes now. Nobody would judge her for it, at least not with the company she kept for the past two months.
Looking up, she saw the fiery sunset in the gaps of the stone forest canopy. The western half of the sky looked like the dying embers of a furnace. The other half of the sky was a twinkling canvas that was darker than usual, much darker than it should be for Mid Autumn.
Looking eastward, Foodie’s ears rose, her bottom lip quivering. She still couldn’t stop from marveling at the sight of the oncoming night.
Cavern Hellion had lost half of its orange moon body while the other half was crushed into the side of the blue moon, Sea Strider. Orange and blue moon rocks the size of kingdoms or larger trailed behind the two conjoined moons.
She wasn’t the only one amazed or horrified by the sight. She was far from the most affected by the worldwide calamity, the one known as the Dark Quarrel of Mountains and Moons.
Foodie frowned. She disliked that name a lot.
It was hard not to take offense when her followers joked about the ‘quarrel’ between the Dark Lord and the Sky Bringer. They’d done so while thinking Foodie wouldn’t overhear them, but she had the highest Wonder stat among her army, boosting her perception more than any other stat.
Even when Foodie tried not to overhear things, Mother would make her aware anyway.
