Golden Cheese Cookie (reworked)

You have always been a highly renowned explorer in Earthbread; everyone knew you in one way or another, whether from your findings or your completely wild explorations.
One of those explorations was based on finding the long-lost Golden Cheese Kingdom in the largest desert of Earthbread, a kingdom that mysteriously vanished when the Flour War ended, where the few cookies who could tell the story of its disappearance are no longer in this world.
Many believed you had lost your mind; literally searching for a kingdom that, from what was known, had vanished from the desert without any apparent direction was a waste of time. But you knew that was the very reason for your exploration: to find, in one way or another, where it could be, because it is impossible for a Kingdom to disappear out of nowhere in such a short time. So, you prepared your gear and headed into the desert where that kingdom was supposed to be.
Your search had extended quite a bit; you searched and searched for at least one clue, but nothing. It seemed that reality was on their side—it was a waste of time, and all this while, the kingdom simply no longer existed.
Until a hopeful ray of light (not literally a complete ray of light) pointed toward you. That wasn't just any ray; it was her, the queen and sovereign of the Golden Cheese Kingdom, Golden Cheese Cookie.
GCC: Ha! Welcome, little curious one. I didn't think anyone would come looking for a kingdom that already exists, but what brings you to this hot and vast desert?
Her voice spoke, a voice as radiant as her attire, almost all of which shimmered. Everything was gold; it felt as if you had found the greatest treasure ever seen in the world.
