Ratatouille

## A Deceiving History

Ratatouille showed up as a character out of nowhere, first trapping Dimensio and Bob into the Shadow Realm, and then challenging Dimensio alone to a game of poker. He says he was once part of the Tribe of Darkness, a tribe that was slaughtered by Dimensio himself due to various circumstances. Storytellers think he at once owned the Profeticus Tenebrae, but it's only a theory, which sadly can't be proven.

## Remarkable Appearances

### The Shadow Realm

#### 1.

* *Is this what happens, when an unstoppable force, meets an immovable object?* *Mate.*

#### 3.

* *Dimensio, we speak again. It will surely not be an infinite chase. You will soon be mated, be careful Dimensio: Life is like a chess game, you don’t want to waste a move. Don’t compare yourself with Edmar Mednis, Samuel Reshevsky or Robert Byrne. You’ve achieved merely a fraction of what they have. I know you love playing chess, but have you ever encountered an opponent that’s capable to ruin your life? The greatest enemy, is one that has nothing to lose. If this is your trapcard, then what obstacles are there that will, make it hard for me, to mate you? “in a world of locked rooms, the man with the key is king.” Here we go again... time’s running out Dimensio, think of what I've told you. The realm is getting destroyed! Hurry up.*

#### 4.

* *I see you’ve made the right choice, Dimensio. I’ll be waiting for you, to finally return what is mine. Meet me at the castle, I’ll be in my throne. You're taking a big risk, and I want to thank you for trying to return the gem to me. Anyone can do what we do, but only the fearless, can be great! However, we both know. This story can't end with a final battle. And Dimensio, don’t try to be the hero in someone else’s story. Otherwise, you’ll become the villain in yours. Because even men with the greatest intentions, start believing in their own lies. So, it’s time to kick some ass and eat some chips… and I’m all outta chips. Good luck on your journey, pal.*

#### 5.

* *Today I woke up, and I felt the earth trembling beneath me. He’s back, they, are back Dimensio and Vloeibaar. You guys are doing what has to be done, what I told you to do. What no person has ever dared to do. The both of you are very brave, I respect that. But soon, you will end up like your predecessors, dead or locked up. Scared for your life, looking like a fool! Dimensio, you think you have a chance at winning this battle but remember this. You can’t lose a battle, you’re mentally already 10 steps ahead of. Because the strong has stepped forward, and the weak had no choice but to follow. You’ve messed with the wrong realm and I’ll make the both of you pay for this. And you, Vloeibaar. I’ll torture you for the rest of your sad, pathetic life. For what you have done to my friends and family in the past, you burn in hell. Ahahahahaha, Ahahahahaahhaa! And who's here, to stop me? No one. Anyways, I expect you to be here in 12 hours, so I better prepare. For your guys’ final act. It’s time.*

#### 6.

* *What seemed like days, have only been hours. And what’s gonna seem like hours, will be days. Dimensio and Vloeibaar are nearing in on me. Afraid? I am not, I lost that emotion a long time ago. However, they will probably reveal my identity, but so will I. To you, Dimensio: I will do anything in my power to stop you from being the hero you dream of being. Even if it means losing my eternality. I’m coming for you guys. Run, hide but keep this in mind; I am, inevitable. Ciao!... Or something... It’s time. Oh... there’s one more thing I’d like to mention. What you guys didn’t realize, was that… You guys, ARE the pawns!*

#### 7.

* *Sitting here… I’ve realized. Nevermind- Let’s get this over with Dimensio and Vloeibaar. Winner takes it all. I can feel the flow, fading away.*

#### 8.

* *Sorry Lord, I have failed you. I have failed you, in every single aspect. I gave my best, but they were to strong. Father, forgive me. Mother, forgive me. Sister, forgive me. Brother… I miss you. Now that the Gem is in it's rightful place, the Shadow Realm can become a place where’s peace, instead of fear, reigns. It’ll become untouched. I will no longer rule over the Shadow Realm. You guys, Dimensio, Vloeibaar, you guys, did indeed, get your last laughs. I won't leave a shadow of my power, I am not able to replicate you, Dimensio. But defeat doesn’t finish a man, quitting does. A man is not finished when he’s defeated. He’s finished when he quits. You’ll hear from me, Dimensio.*

### The Lantern Realm

#### 1.

* *It’s been a while… Hasn’t it? Who knows, and realistically, who cares… Time to get back to making food. Where shall we start? The start… The start of a new game… See, Dimensio and Vloeibaar, you guys had me locked in a position. But I do not give up this easily. One gives up only when he quits, but I’m not a quitter. I bet you didn’t expect me to be back so soon, so I’ll give you time to prepare. I would want it to be a fair fight ofcourse! But now I am here, I’m not simply a ‘skeleton’, as you met me in the Shadow Realm… I am far worse. I’ve come to seek revenge and since I’ve been freed directly by YOU, I will be the one hunting this time. So Dimensio, lets see if you can hold a pokerface once I put my sword through your chest. I told you you’ll hear from me…*

#### 2.

* *Stakes will infact be high, perhaps, we can bet on a little more than just a Dimension this time. I see what you’re doing here Dimensio, however, that old tome of yours won’t be enough to defeat me. I am being fueled, being fueled by something… You’ve made your worst nightmare come true. Ahahahah... you just made sure the immovable object became the unstoppable force. If you wanna go with the flow this time. You’ll have to follow my lantern, but I’ll leave that to you. Are you capable of that? I very much doubt so. You failed to kill me twice, once when you murdered our tribe. And another time, working together with that weak, sad and pathetic pal of yours, Bob. But guess what: You’ve had your chances and this time, killing me won’t be enough to kill me. Ah, and by the way… the item is reflecting, I can see your cards. 3 cards were revealed, 2 are to be shown. 1 prism was found, 11 to go. Take a chance, to make it all the way.*

#### 3.

* *Ah, Dimensio. I see you have found my lantern. And of course, you decided to stupidly follow it. I was right about you... But you were right too. Lettcor was indeed trapped inside my lantern. If you want to save him from the possession of the crown, you will have to find his scattered pieces around the realm that I've created just for you. The pain you felt was temporary, don't worry. However, if you don't make it in time. I will make sure the pain you felt will be... Endless. Thank you for declaring your hand. It was a stupid move Dimensio... You shouldn't be so full of yourself. Because... I am probably bluffing.*

#### 4.

* *He's getting closer, I can feel it, however if he isn't going to be quick enough, Lettcor will stay under the crown's control, and the objective will be accomplished. He thinks 5 mere cards will be able to get him out of this pocket realm safe, ahahahah... how wrong is he... He still has to realize that I am in control of the world Lettcor and he are trapped in, and he doesn't know any of my tricks. I still have to be careful, though, as he is a powerful magician. His prestige performances might still be a problem, hiding something powerful undercover. I've sent some crows to spectate his funny journey around here, he will surely realize the place he's in, and I'll be the one who'll win this time. My castle is gone, and I want revenge. And that's what I will get. Good luck, Dimensio, and may the odds be with you, always. Ahah... Ahahahahahahah.*

#### 5.

* *As I mentioned before, this realm I created mirrors what he and Bob encountered in the original Shadow Realm, which means most of its placed are intact... but not my castle, the place of our 'final battle'. The cathedral where the Dark Veil was removed and the Bloodmoon was unleashed was there, and looks like there's an intruder here. Someone I haven't seen in decades... or maybe centuries... Waffle. He is marked... I know some things about him, however, I never considered him important. I guess he found the lantern that enclosed Dimensio, but how? Argh, it's not that important anymore. I will just terminate him. My target is Dimensio, and I'll have to make sure he dies just right when he thinks he's going to save Lettcor. Ahahahahah! Failure is coming for you Dimensio, and your stupid poker hand won't be able to do anything when I'll kill you both. However, this Waffle is part of the damage. Collateral, I'd say. How unfortunate. My crows will firstly deafen him with their screechs, and then their becks will prick him to death. I'll enjoy listening his screams while he suffers that unimaginable pain. **...Waffle died...** Now, without any more intrusions, I can proceed with what I was doing, Ahahahahaha! I'll win, and no one will be able to stop me. No. One.*

#### 6.

* *The last day has finally come and unfortunately Dimensio, you didn't manage to accomplish your goal. It was a fun poker game, but however; you have missed one important detail, which is the cards you gathered being the scattered fragments of my consciousness. I must thank you for what you have done, from the bottom of my heart... If I still have one. Lettcor, I still have morals. So I will release you and be grateful for it, because I would've killed you if it wasn't for these fragments. But you have to agree to my conditions: Your loyalty must be swore to the 'new me', until the day you'll be gone from this sick world... Dimensio, it was fun to play with you indeed. I left so many hints about my identity around your environment. Once again, I want to thank you for releasing me from this hell. You really thought I was Lukin Avax, didn't you? However, it was me, Rider all along. I don't think you will meet this form of myself anymore, so I really hope I will meet you with my real appearance, but you might be dead before that moment comes. It's truly amazing to think that I was the first one, to uncover The Jesters tricks, but here we are. Ciao!*
