chapter 1: the great adventure begins
Grimm stood atop a massive cliff side, next to the great torch his kin lit to summon his troupe. This kingdom, so rich, so wondrous, yet it was dying. It was his job to consume its flames and continue the Grimm troupe.

His predecessor stood by him with one claw on his shoulders. “Look at it, my son. Is it not wonderful?” The great bug said. He always hated when that old bat called him “son”, but what could he do? He wasn’t strong enough to earn this leader’s respect. Yet.... “indeed it is, master” Grimm said, trying to hide his hatred for the bug. “But why do we have to takes its flames? Why can’t we find a less destructive way to preserve the heart?” “Ah, my son, you will learn in time how small this world is. Everything has its time, and this kingdom’s time has come. Kingdoms will rise and fall, but the Grimm troupe is everlasting. We are the song that never ends, the-“ “tower that never falls, Yes you told me already.” “-yes, well, it’s about time we send you off on your journey, young one. Consume the flames of this kingdom and become powerful enough to bear the nightmare’s heart.” He never liked the way that old bat said that. He kept talking about it like a burden, the young bug didn’t like that

He packed a small bag, with the help of his best friend, necro. “How’re you gonna do it?” The grimmkin asked. “Do what?” “Get nine flames scattered all over this massive kingdom from the best warriors in the troupe?” “Hey, you know me. I’ll manage” he slung the bag over his shoulder and set out. Necro’s words were still in his mind. The kingdom was big. Even if he found the flames, how was he going to defeat the greatest warriors under the heart’s rule? He guessed only time would tell
