    After meeting Fraun, he led me and Vanitas down into what I guessed was an underground passage that opened up to a sun lit huge cavern with a hole in its roof. "If I may I welcome you to the camp of the third ring" He glanced back at us casting a smirk at me "Did you know what when young royal demons come of age? they fight for the place of their parents' rank with their siblings as well as other candidates” he told me laughing a bit. “This generation's head candidates have been, and don't
