We begin at Grim's hideout after Kata explains what happened. "So you're telling me that Locke somehow made your mouth disappear?" Grim sat down and thought about the situation. Grim came up with a solution. "You were right for coming to me about this." Grim heard someone outside. "Kata, go to the back room and hide there. I'll handle this." Kata nodded and did as he was told. Grim reach for a white glowing orb. Grim held it in his hand and opened the door. Locke was standing there with Shadow. "Why hello Locke, what brings you here?" Locke glared at Grim. "You know why I'm here." Locke said. Grim started began to speak. "Well no, actually I don't so-" Locke had grabbed Grim and held him up by his throat. "Shadow." Locke began. "Search for him." Shadow searched the hideout. "Grim we could have done this the easy way, you would have been allowed to live after we found him but no, you just had to be difficult." Locke dropped Grim. Grim saw that Shadow was about to search the room Kata was in. "Any last words?" Locke taunted. Grim chuckled. "I got some words, but I don't think they'll be my last." Grim smashed the orb he was holding. Locke looked confused. As soon as Locke was about to finish Grim a cloud of smoke filled the hideout. As the smoke cleared a sinister laugh broke the silence. Locke backed away from Grim. "It... It can't be..." A figure emerged from the smoke with it's head hung and cocked to the side. "Miss me?" Locke looked frightened, something people thought they would never see. Locke spoke with his voice trembling. "Oooh hey Guritch... No hard feelings about what happened right? I never meant to imprison you into that orb, trust me. Guritch walked up to Locke. "I would believe you but if I'm correct, you aren't the one who let me out." Shadow attempted to attack Guritch from behind but failed. "Grim, get Kata and go. I'll catch up later." Grim and Kata left, leaving Shadow, Locke, and a few soldiers to Guritch. Guritch was an intimidating creature, he was slender with white glowing eyes and teeth as sharp as a knife. He had skin as dark as a sky without stars and it looked as if it was rotting. Guritch was missing his jaw yet could still speak perfectly. Guritch was a partner of Grim's. They were a special part of the Wraiths. An army without mercy. He and Grim were normally on stealth missions. The fight between Guritch and Locke was a quick one, he had to flee due to the size of the reinforcements Locke had coming. "You let him get away Shadow, next time you'll be imprisoned for 30 years." Shadow and Locke returned to the castle while Guritch met up with Grim and Kata. "How'd it go?" Grim asked. Guritch sighed. "It didn't go as planned, Locked called in reinforcements. So, why hasn't Kata been talking?" Grim explained what Kata had told him. "Ok, we need to go see if anyone can help Kata." Grim said. "I think I know someone." Said Guritch.
