Fairytale

Fairytales are an important key item in both Black Souls games. They are the source of many of the characters Grimm encounters through the world, and killing them has them drop a book. In the first game, collecting and placing all of them into the Library in Wonderland allows you to access Ending C of the game. In II, some Fairytales are summoned by Grimm to help in certain fights, and collecting them helps in progressing the B ending of the game.
== Black Souls ==
According to Dorothy, when a person or demon is killed, they return to their fairy tale book of origin.
While there are many monsters that belonged to the fairytales such as "Hansel and Gretel" or "Jack and the Beanstalk", their true purposes aren't revealed until you reach Wonderland. Interacting with Alice inside the library has her ask you to return all of the fairytales to their proper place. Once you've slain all of the monster-like ones, including the five Demonic Princesses, and return their books to the shelves, a new room opens that asks you to kill most of your companions, including Alice. Once they've all been placed back into the shelves, a switch is revealed. When pulled, it causes Mary Sue's Garden to break down, leading to Ending C.

They return in the sequel, with a similar purpose as before; killing certain monster called Madness Spirits causes them to drop books. However, various Fairytales, mainly returning ones, are also used to "summon" characters to help fight against bosses, called Dream Spirits, which leads to a wholly unique experience. For example, summoning Peter Pan during the Jubjub fight causes them to betray you.
Once you've gathered all of them, you are rewarded by Node by either gaining Souls, the White Rabbit Ring, or entering a covenant with her, or getting her to put on a swimsuit. This in turns allow you to achieve the B ending should you abandon your quest for Alice.
