  Summary

  Ogrim has been known as the most loyal of the five great knights of Hallownest since almost his first day being one. Soon he will discover what his king is willing to do to keep his kingdom alive, and that loyalty will be tested.

  In other words, this is the origin of the city of tears.

  Summary

  It is a quiet night. The stars show clearly in the sky, the moon well into its trek through their sparkling fields. No wind will drift through this small town tonight. No leaves will whisper in its wake.

  When Kris' prank on Noelle goes too far, and Dess goes to teach them a lesson, something terrible happens.

  Summary

  SERIES 1/14 SPOILERS!!! IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED "THE LEGEND OF RUBY SUNDAY" AND "THE EMPIRE OF DEATH"

  Just some fun crazed ramblings I wrote after watching the season finale a few hours ago. What if Ruby Sunday's mom was... Ruby Sunday. This was an idea I thought was so obviously being bashed over the audiences head since her character's first episode that it would come as no surprise to anyone when it was revealed in the finale. Boy was I wrong about that, lol.

  This also pokes fun at some of the other strange things this season. Hope you all enjoy!
