A couple hours later Reima drags Solaire off to speak with Quelaag about them leaving to fight Gwyn... She took it better than he'd thought, she already knew they'd have to do this at so point or another as Reima had previously told everyone that the world would literally be destroyed soon. His words would cause everyone to panic if "Soon" didn't an in the next thousand years or so, the world is extrely old and stagnant, it'll take a long ti to atrophy from the lord souls being taken away. He doesn't say goodbye to anyone as he's sure he'll be back in no ti at all, whether or not this is foreshadowing will be up to the author...
Solaire looks at Reima and nods, the dim lights glinting off of the golden coronet he now wears. "Are you ready my friend?"
Reima "Yeah, lets go, we can't keep everyone waiting after all." he says as he grips Solaire's shoulder and teleports to the hidden alter beneath Firelink Shrine. As the appear a surprised voice speaks to them.
DarkStalker Kaathe "Ah! You've returned Dark Lord... I think it's ti I revealed the truth,The truth I shall share without sentint.After the advent of fire, the ancient lords found the three souls.
But your progenitor found a fourth, unique soul. The Dark Soul." He appears to want to continue talking but Reima interrupts him, "Uh, you an this dark soul?" he says holding the writhing mass of darkness that is Manus's soul in his hand.
...
DarkStalker Kaathe "WHAAAT! The Dark Soul was stolen from us centuries ago in the travesty that was Oolacile! How have you acquired that!"
Reima shrugs, "Ti travel." he says as if it's not a big deal, truthfully he just enjoys ssing with these giant penis serpents...
Kaathe is amazed and appalled at this young undead, "T-ti travel? Such a technique has and will never exist, the world forbids it!"
Reima "Tough luck for the world then I guess..." he says uninterested.
Solaire watches in astonishnt as Reima shuts up the legendarily talkative Primordial Serpent, even his father had to listen to the one known as Frampt drone on for days on end, yet his friend is able to do it without even trying...
Kaathe seethes, "Forget it! Unlock the gateway to Gwyn by presenting the Lord Souls to the alter."
Reima glances over before looking back, "Nah, I'll keep these thanks."
Solaire finds it difficult to hold in his laughter at this ridiculous scene, he'll have to rember to write it down to immortalise this mory.
A large black vein appears on the Serpents bald head, "You have to use the Lord Soul on the alter to open the path to Gwyn! Do not reject my wisdom young undead!"
...
Reima doesn't reply and walks over to the large stone gate, scanning it with Observation Haki he finds that there is so kind of spatial distortion preventing any from passing without gaining access via the alter... Unfortunately for whoever set this up Reima is literally space incarnate with his Elder Blood powerfully flowing through his veins. He channels Armant Haki across his entire body and grips the stone doors, his hands sinking into the stone as if it were butter. After gaining an strong grip he pulls with everything he has, pulls and pulls until the doors are slowly but surely opened. He only manages to open it enough for a crack to be visible, after this thick white mist begins flowing out of it, as if it's trying to seal the breach in the barrier. Solaire approaches and waves his hand through it, assuming it to be just like any other Fog-Gate but as he does the silver gauntlet protecting his hand seems to literally disintegrate under it... He quickly backs away but not before looking at Reima's condition, his eyes bulge as he sees Reima standing amidst the thick mist completely unhard, not even his equipnt seems affected.
Seeing this Reima realises that he's likely the only one besides Ciri who could actually attempt what he's trying now. He walks closer to the crack and peers through, the mist is extrely thick and prevents him from seeing much but he manages to glimpse the floor behind the door. He waves at Solaire and teleports inside the barrier distorting space. Imdiately he's almost blinded by the pure white mist that seems to glow brightly, he sees a staircase leading to a dark exit and many ghosts of what look like Silver Knights wandering around the barrier... Could they be those who attempted this before him? Alas without the Elder Blood Reima is sure he'd be torn apart by the violent spatial energy in this area, a normal person wouldn't make it past the first step, let alone make it a couple hundred ters down this long ass staircase. He walks to the bottom, carefully watching his steps as the mist obscures the stairs below... This is supposed to be a dramatic mont, falling on his ass like a fool would completely ruin the atmosphere.
As he walks he waves his hand through the ghostly figures but isn't able to touch them... He grins after thinking for a mont and channels Haki into his hand before punching the chest of the ghost. He feels it connect and penetrate it's ghostly figure before quickly being absorbed into Reima. "That's quite a lot of souls for one knight" he licks his lips while looking at the hundreds of other ghosts now staring at him... "Oh yes, this'll definitely be fun."
