[Grimm knows he will not receive such a courtesy again. It really is not courtesy to begin with but a statement - "I am here and I am watching." - but she could do so while attacking them. The Radiance's intelligence could not match that of the Pale King but she was by no means stupid in her rage. The God of Nightmares traveling with one of her sworn enemy's failed creations would easily catch her eye once it became obvious it was happening. What happened next would determine how she responded.

The Resting Grounds contained the monument to the Dreamers and once they arrive to the Forgotten Crossroads, they will have to pass the Black Egg Temple. There were many, many things that could happen and Grimm was not omniscient. The fate of the Vessel had been changed by the Troupe Master's hand and these two places may do so as well.

But for now there is warm water and soothing song. The spirit of a long-dead singer still lingering for her audience even if they are simply a child of the void and a travelling performer. Grimm lingers a little longer then he should - they are not on any particular timer but he did not wish to stress Brumm too much - but the song is beautiful. Still, he cannot do anything for lingering souls, even his own. Grimm would offer her an audience in the form of those who came to see the Grimm Troupe if he could.

So they press onto a bigger elevator (thankfully) but a longer ride up. Upon exiting they are both greeted by deafening silence and a somber atmosphere.]


This is the Resting Grounds, the graveyard of those who have passed into the afterlife of dreams. Many bugs are buried here by friends and family and it was once considered a place of worship for some.

[The place where the moths once lived and now home to the monument of the Dreamers, the second seal placed by the Pale King over the Hollow Knight. The walk to the exit to the Forgotten Crossroads is a short one but Grimm is acutely aware of the gazes on their backs.

The monument is to the left. And it will remain that way unless something happens.]
