The guard was extremely scared to share the news he had for Grim. His palms began to drip with sweat, and he could feel his heart racing as Grim stared a hole through him. Grim noticed the tears in the guard’s eyes, to his own agitation, and decided to approach the conversation in a calmer manner. “Alright, fool, just relax.
