You were making your way to kings pass when you try to talk to ray and shade.

Y/n: Ray, shade?

Silence filled your mind and you sighed.

Y/n: I wish I can talk to you guys.

Radiance: Mother of the gods I hate this so much!

Shade lord: I do to but we can't despell his magic.

Radiance: fuck me and my immortal life.

You rode the stag and arrived at dirt mound, you got out and made your way towards king pass...untill you saw the the giant wall.

Y/n: By the gods, why is it so tall?

You look around to see if there is any other way up there but no luck.

Y/n:*sigh* It's a good thing I have the mantis claw.

(One trip to the top later.)

Y/n: I Am So Tiered!

You reached the top as you were in the kings pass.

Y/n: Who's bright Idea was it to not have a stairway or elevator up here?!

As you were trying to rest a fireball was thrown at you but you dodge.

Y/n: That was close, Engarde!

You shout as the Grimmchilds flew out of your cloak and soon it began you hit it but it tried to hit you but the Grimmchilds made it stumbled and you pierce it but it was still alive.

Y/n: Like the last time, here goes!

You dodge it's fireballs and you hit it again with the help of the Grimmchilds and soon I let out a painful yet psychotic scream and soon it explode and the Grimmchilds absorbed the flames and we're flying around like last time.

Y/n: looks like we have to visit your father again, let's go.

You put your nail back on your back and began to climb down the pass and back to dirt mound.

Y/n: The gates have been lifted, now to your father.

You walk in and saw brumm.

Brumm: The flame burns within the young ones, go my master Is waiting.

Y/n: I thank you brumm.

You walked in and saw the crowd and your family.

Y/n: Glad they're still here.

???: Ah your Here.

You turned to the source and saw Grimm appeared from the scarlet flame.

Y/n: I have done what you need now release them!

Grimm: Not so fast my friend, my kin has arrived and the time has come.

Grimm open his cloak and soon the Grimmchilds flew towards him and soon a bright light enveloped your vision when you open your eyes you saw grim and his cloak was getting out of control.

Grimm: this scaring fire... It carries well the ritual's promise.

Then Grimm regain his composure and snapped his fingers letting the room be illuminated and the gates blocked the exit.

Y/n: So it all comes down to this?

Grimm: Yes, dance with me, my friend. the crowd awaits. show them you are worth of a starring role!

Grimm bowed down then let out a frightening screech and so it begins.

Y/n: I feel good again?

Grimm: Yes cause the charms are not on you anymore child, now let us dance.

Grimm tried to hit you but he did an upper cut and soon big balls of flames appeared and you dodge them, he appeared behind you and let out little version of him made of scarlet flame you dodge them and you hit him but he disappeared and soon he appeared in the center but his cloak was inflated and it was releasing fireballs. You dodge the flurry and he stopped he disappeared again and reappear at the ceiling and did a dive strike and dashed at you but you jumped out of the way and you hit him and then hit him when he was standing still until he sent his cloak on the ground and soon spikes appeared and you avoided it, you continued to attacked him until he turned into many mini version of himself, you were wondering how to hurt him until you saw one with glowing eyes and you strike at it then they reform.

Grimm: Impressive but we aren't done yet.

Y/n: I know, have at thy!

With hornet and the others.

Hornet: My brother is fighting for his life out there and he seems to slowing down.

Pale king: I know and he can't keep this up for much longer.

Ella: If only I can be there to help him.

Dryya: I know how you feel but we can't do anything this is his fight and his fight alone.

Ogrim: We must pray he will win.

Hornet: I wonder if there's more after this fight?

Pale king: There is but it's his choice to continue.

White lady: What do you mean?

Pale king: Wait and you shall see.

Back to the fight you were breathing heavily but you were still dodging grim and his attacks but you were at your limit and you need to finish this now. Grimm did his inflating thing again and you were dodging his attacks but you were hit from the last fire ball but got back up and saw Grimm charging at you, you dodge him and hit him. He let out a painful scream as he was letting the scarlet flame leave his body and soon he explode.

Y/n: Is it over?

You saw Grimm reappeared and bow to the crowd and soon they clapped you bow down with Grimm and soon he then looked at you as you raise your head.

Y/n: Is it complete?

Grimm: No but bravo, my friend. Here how the crowd adores you! They've not seen such a show in a long time.

Grimm snapped his fingers again and soon the Grimmchilds appeared once again and you felt very weak but you saw how they grown up.

Y/n: They have grow?!

Grimm: Yes, Look here! How our child has grown, nourished and strengthen by the heat of our passionate dance! The three of you will feature in many tragedies and triumphs together, i'm sure. And so our great ritual nears its end. Will you continue to harvest the flame, even though now you shirley see the path it illuminates for us? A scarlet eyes will watch you keenly...friend.

Grimm disappeared as the room darken.

Grimm: go out into the darkness, harvest the last lingering embers of this kingdom. then returned to me and we will complete our dance.

You heard the gates lifted and then a chest appeared.

Y/n: Has it ended?

Radiance: No child it is just the beginning.

Y/n: Ray, shade are you alright?!

Radiance: Yes and please relaxed you have suffered enough.

Shade lord: Yes child but first see what does the chest contains.

You walked to the chest and open it and saw something weird inside.

Y/n: What's is this?

Radiance: It is a charm notch, seems like he was pleased with your performance that he gifted this to you.

Y/n: Then I'll take it.

You took it and soon you felt better again.

Y/n: I feel better again, but I still have the Grimmchilds on me?

Radiance: That's because you have the required notches so know your not over charmed.

Y/n: Really? That's wonderful, so what know?

Radiance: I don't know, I don't know what to do?

Shade lord: Here's a suggestion, we continue the ritual and end this.

Y/n: Okay, lets head out my friends and the scarlet flames.

You walked towards the exit and soon the Grimmchilds followed you but you saw that one of them was like Grimm but the other on had (F/c) eyes and a (f/c) color on its stomach and soon you left the tent and pulled out your map.

Back with the pale king.

Hornet: Why was my brother talking to himself, who is ray? who is shade? I have so many questions.

Ella: I too as well your highness.

Pale king: He was talking to her but who is this 'shade' he speaks of? Questions for another time we need to wait for him to either banished the troupe or complete the ritual, I wish I knew what he chooses?

Author: So what do you choose?

Radiance: I say goodbye to the nightmare king and his troupe!

Shade lord: And I say he won't do it as he seemed attached to the little ones.

Author: So would you like to keep the Grimmchilds and fight the nightmare king or will you banished the troupe, What do you choose?
