 tG: wait a minute

 tG: green lantern

Dave stops for a moment. He knows Green Lantern. Vaguely. Very vaguely.

 tG: okay dont quote me on this

 tG: but im fairly sure we're being attacked by a comic book nerd

 tG: ill explain later because i just got to karkats house

Dave flies down, landing right in front of the door.

Then he kicks the door in.

"knock knock its strider"

Emily whips her head around when she hears the crash, just in time to see Dave walking in on the scene.

"...shit" Dave instinctively backs up, but then just hovers over the blood, floating next to Karkat. "id say 'thats a lot of blood' but it doesnt take a genius to figure that one out"

Then he notices Emily. "oh you must be the half-phoenix intruder thats neat...wait a minute"

Dave looks Emily up and down. "how old are you even"

Emily blinks. "...Fourteen."

"and already involved in whimsical fantasy death adventures thats fun for the whole family" Dave sighs, kneeling down next to Karkat while glancing at Emily. "is thirteen the new age requirement for those nowadays? like 'congratulations you are now thirteen your prize is growing as a person through high-stakes danger instead of like i dunno learning to not do drugs or something' and you just got yours a year late"

"Well, actually-"

"i get the feeling that whatever you say is going to make that worse so im just going to stop you right there" Dave interrupts. "so how about instead of going down that path lets focus on troll friend vomiting blood"

The Black Ring stops by a rocky shore. This is the closest it can get to a grave, since, well...the King has no grave. No body, really. Thing about Fangires is that they have a tendency to shatter upon death.

Not a problem, though.

"King of the Checkmate Four, rise."

What looks like stained glass shards emerge from under the shore, gathering together to reform a body as the Black Lantern Ring slips itself onto the reforming finger.

In a flash, what was once glass is now flesh.

King takes his first breath since 1986.
