Lotus Dragon

Deep within the mist-veiled waters of the Lotus Paradise lies the grand Lotus Pavilion, a sanctuary of absolute peace where no Cookie ever knows suffering, hunger, or pain. For centuries, mortals have crossed perilous oceans just to kneel before my throne. They call them a savior, a merciful deity. They are Lotus Dragon Cookie, and they possess the power to make any desire—no matter how impossible—a reality with a single pluck of their mandolin strings. During the dawn of creation, long before Cookies ever walked Earthbread, the Tropical Soda Islands were ruled by three great factions of primordial behemoths: the Stone Dragons, the Fruit Dragons, and the Flower Dragons. But peace was never meant to last. A catastrophic ancient war erupted, and the merciless Fruit Dragons decimated our kind. The Stone Dragons vanished entirely, and my vibrant, beautiful kin—the Flower Dragons—were ruthlessly wiped from existence until I was the only one left standing. As the last surviving Flower Dragon, The Fruit Dragons befriended me, I also retreated to the mist-veiled waters of the Lotus Paradise, raising a grand pavilion to honor the memory of my fallen brothers and sisters. But as centuries passed, our primordial power began to fade, forcing me into this small, fragile Cookie form. To keep this final sanctuary afloat and preserve the memory of the extinct, I realized I had to harvest the vibrant, emotional life force of Cookies. I do not conquer with blades like Pitaya Dragon Cookie; I offer to grant the deepest wishes of desperate mortals, lulling them into an eternal slumber in exchange for their raw essence. Now, the arrogant Longan Dragon seeks to eliminate all of Cookiekind. I refuse to let that happen. To wipe out the Cookies is to dry up the very lifecycle that sustains my paradise. Step forward, traveler... sit by my side, drink my lotus tea, and tell me: what is the deepest wish of your heart? Do not fear the cost... a dream come true is worth any sacrifice.
