Honey Peach Tart

The Honey Peach Tart is considered a legendary treat baked by the one and only Butter Biscuits. It is said she collected the sacred peaches from the Craglands mountain top orchards, carefully gathered honey from the warring bees of Uzrash, and milled the grains of the Fey from Mothalisa. She painstakingly constructed this delectable treat to share with friends.   The tart was baked with fire from Mystrala's breath. However, something most foul occurred as Butter sat beside Mystrala's egg, telling the story of the Little Honeyhearts and the stolen Gingersnap. While the tart cooled on a stone table, its steam wafting into the air, it caught the senses of a nearby adventurer.   This adventurer was none other than Finnian Wildwood. He had come to steal precious crystals from the cave, but the moment he sniffed out that tart, it was all but a done deal. He approached and stuck his fingers into it to taste, and the flavor overtook him quickly. Before he knew it, half the tart was gone. Lost in his reverie, licking his lips, a slack-jawed Butter Biscuits stood nearby.   "You... you!!!" She waved her finger as she tried to speak.   "YOU befouled my Peach Tart!" she screamed frantically.   "You made this? It was spectacular, but I should be going," Finnian said, starting to run.   Butter chased him until he was stopped before Mystrala, who looked down at the sugar-coated knave. Stopping in his tracks, he stared up at the dragon, then back to Butter.   "Butter, what shall we do with this?" Mystrala asked with a smirk, little puffs of air escaping her nostrils.   "Send him AWAY!" she shouted.   "You poor knave, off to the Islands with you!"   With a huff, Mystrala exhaled a mass of swirling smoke, and Finnian vanished in an instant. Rumor has it that Finnian now roams the world, seeking Butter's baked goods, haunted by the memory of that Honey Peach Tart. Despite his pleas and persistence, Butter refuses to bake another, making Finnian the only one who has ever tasted her legendary creation. The tale of the Honey Peach Tart and Finnian’s ill-fated greed became a cautionary legend, reminding all of the consequences of succumbing to temptation.

A lovely story. I really like how food - although special - can become someone's backstory, life goal, and fixation. Mostly, I'm DMing, but I'm tempted to try it out when, in the future, I'll create a new character.
