[Morgan's tower]
Morgan once wishing for her own mage's tower where she can do her experiment alone. For four years, that tower already filled dangerous artifacts and sometimes explosion can be happen.
Why?
Because It's Morgan Place.
Because of that too, The Grand Duke forbidden anyone to go near or enter that place.
Who know? Someone could die because unexpected explosion.
"My lady, it's me. I'm going enter----"
BOOOOMMMM-----!!!!
Before Nicholas can open the door, a loud explosion happen right on right side of tower.
"That direction..... Don't tell me---!!!"

[Morgan's personal kitchen]
Tap!!
A sound of shoes tapping floor can hear loudly.
"Cough!! Cough!!!" Morgan take one step out from the room that filled with smoke. She coughing hard and her lungs feel full with smoke which make she hard to breath.
'Another failure....'
"My lady!!!"
Morgan turning into the source of voice and see Nicholas run towards her. What with that worried face, Idiot?
"Nicky, what the heck are you doing here?"
"Is that even right question to ask now? Did you forget that you're the one who ask me to come here?"
"Ah." Morgan wiping the dirty on her lips.
Nicholas ask, "Anyway, what in Vivian name did you do this time? The explosion is louder than usual."
"I try to bake cookies."
"...."
"....."
"...."
"I'm sorry, what?"
"I try to mix new powders from fairies forest with magic stone that I stole from demon territory. Also, I add one litter spring water from special hot spring that I just discovered 3 months ago. And then, I put fairy dust, some sugar and milk----"
"That's not cookies recipe, idiot. That's potion." Nicholas immediately massaging his forehead as he sighing hopeless.
"No way. I already make it into dough and design it into beautiful cookies, you know."
"Just..... Seriously, who the heck want eat your cookies, my lady? Two weeks ago , you already poison several knights with your muffin, including myself. Everyone have to stay at hospital for 5 days because unbearable stomachache."
"But you still alive, right?"
"Oh my Vivian...."
Bump!! Bump!! Bump!!
Nicholas already fed up with Morgan's antics. He walk to the wall and hitting his head several times. That girl really give him headache again and again. Meanwhile, Morgan with her oblivious, enter back her half-destoryed kitchen and use wind magic to clean all smoke.
"Oh. I thought it's the oven that exploded."
"What do you mean?"
"It's my cauldron. I try create new potion using poisonous plants that I found under snow around the hill. Also, I add a bunch of monster's part inside that with extra of gunpowder. It's hard to make gunpowder but still, it's worth if I can discover new thing."
". . . ."
"What? Why do you look at me like that? It's experiment, okay. I throw random things and see if it's work or not. For genius, failure is one of the way to create successful future."
"Stop. Right. That. Don't talk anymore. You're going kill me if you keep sprouting nonsense about your experiment."
"Hahaha!! Get sick? I have a bunch new potion to try. It's healing potion! You don't need to worry about it!!" Morgan claimed, as she raise several unfamiliar potions with happy smile.
"I'm not your damn guinea pig."
Morgan can only laughing as she starting clean up her mess. The cauldron already being destroyed into pieces and unknown liquid flowing out. So, it's best for her to clean up by herself.
Who know? Maybe it's could being dangerous if that unknown liquid interact with living thing?
"Ah. Nicky, Could you open the over for me? My cookies still in oven."
"What the----!!? Why you don't tell me earlier!!? It's must be already burnt out now!!" Said Nicholas before grabbing strawberry oven gloves and open the oven door.
Cough!! Cough!! Cough!!!
A black smoke come out from oven, made Nicholas coughing non-stop. It's too much before he become shocked to see what happen inside of that.
"My lady. I think you should stop baking something."
"What? What do you mean by stop baking? Is my cookies that bad? Let me see."
Morgan walk throwing her broom away and walk towards Nicholas. When she see what happen inside the oven, her eyes open wide due to the shock.
"Mmm....."
That's not their voice. It's something from there.
"My lady, are you sure this is a part from experiment?"
"No fucking way. I just baking something normal."
"Normal you say.... SO WHY THE HECK THAT COOKIE MOVING!!?"
In front of them, a small movement from unique design cookie already made Morgan and Nicholas startled. Then, it's wake up and slowly open it eyes.
Since the cookie is gingerbread man form, it have two different colours eyes, cyan colour on right eye and dark blue on left eye. It have blue skin and wear big ruff collar with black suits and tailcoat. The black suit was designed with beautiful golden flora pattern. The hair of cookie is long azure hair and several white streaks hair. What made this cookie so scary is there're many eyes on it hair and it's moving.
"Mmm....??" The cookie looked at Morgan and Nicholas as it tilted it head a bit.
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"
Instead of asking, of course anyone will scream hysterical when they saw a cookie, something that can't moving,IS MOVING!!!
"Broom!! Broom!! Get the fucking broom!!"
"I KNOW!! I KNOW!!! Catch this!!!"
"WAIT!!! NOT THAT IDIOT!! THAT'S A KNIFE!!!"
"Ah. SHUT UP!! I FORGET WHERE THE FUCK I THROW THAT BROOM!!"
"IT'S UNDER TABLE, FOR VIVIAN SAKE!!! HURRY UP!!"
"CALM DOWN, MR KNIGHT!!! YOUR MAGE STILL WORKING ON KITCHEN!!"
"STOP JOKING AND GIVE ME THAT FUCKING BROOM!!!"
Morgan immediately grabbing the broom on floor and throwing to Nicholas. She run hiding behind him with a pan that she take nowhere as Nicholas pointing the broom towards the cookie.
"....."
"....."
"....."
The cookie remain silent without moving.
"Are you sure this isn't your magic?" Nicholas whispered.
"Are you fucking stupid? If I the one who prank this, I wouldn't screaming like ghost. It's not my magic, idiot."
"Then.... Ghost?"
"I don't know that you're believe on ghost, Nicky. If is true that ghost possessed that thing, why choose a cookie? Why not knife?"
"It's just my feeling, Dumbass. And don't give the idea to the ghost."
"So, is it the ghost?"
"No fucking way because I don't believe the ghost unless Vivian herself show up."
"You really have faith on your goddess, huh?"
Screeckkk.... Screeecckkk.....
Both of them flinching together when the cookie staring making sound by standing up. The cookie put it's right hand on chest while the other one holding jester hat as it bowing to them.
"What a pleasure to born in this world!! Nice to meeting such a wonderful creator!! Ready for some playing show?"
With a loud and proud voice, that cookie greeting Morgan and Nicholas in such a bold way. The way it bowing, the way it choose it word, the way it try to make good first impression, anyone can being cautious or calm.
"Are you a ghost?" Morgan asking as she hiding behind Nicholas.
"A ghost? Pffftt!!! Hahaha!! No way. I'm your creation. I'm was born thanks to your hands to granted me a life."
Nicholas look at Morgan and Morgan back at him before both of them look at the cookie again.
"Should I just smack it?"
"What a evil!! Are you try to kill a poor baby like me!!?" The cookie claimed.
"I'm afraid that isn't a ghost possessed this cookie, My lady. It's a demon. We must eliminating it. One demon already enough."
"I'M NOT A DEMON!! YOU'RE THE DEMON!!"
"Such a ridiculous claim."
"You're the ridiculous one!!"
Ding!
A blue screen appears in front Morgan.
[Congratulations for creating new creation]
[You're successful achieved new class 'Creator']
[You're gained new title 'Mother of coookies-kins]
Morgan sighing before putting her pan on table. She moving out from her safe zone behind Nicholas and walk closer to the cookie.
"You're cute. What's your name?"
"I don't have any name, my creator. I would being grateful if you granting me a new identity." Said the cookie with polite tone.
"Mmm.... How about Hansel?"
Nicholas looked at Morgan confusedly, "Why Hansel?"
"I just remember a fairytale story that I read when I was young. It's about two siblings that get abandoned by their parents, found a house that made from cookies and sweet, they was invited by the witch, get fooled by the witch, the witch is cannibal, the older brother almost get eated by the witch but was saved by the younger sister, the witch get slipped and accidentally burned herself in the oven, the siblings found pearls and other things and lastly, happy ever after. By the way, the siblings name is Hansel and Gretel."
Nicholas was stunned, speechless and silent. He look with that shock and disgusting face that he can't faking his emotions anymore.
"Who the heck write that story for kids?"
"I know, right? It's a dark story." Morgan said with fake smile before look back at the cookie.
"So, what do you think, little cookie?"
"I'm was thankful for those name, my creator. Thank you for give me a new life."
"Hahahaha.... What a sweet child!"
