Alliances against it will form and be shattered. Nations will crumble. Millions of dead will fill the cities they once inhabited. Hope itself fails as people brace for the inevitable.

The End of Days has come.

But that is just what I would like to see. What would you? tt's the Beast of Caerbannog, the killer rabbit from Monty Python and the Holy Grail! And nary a Holy Hand Grenade in sight! Hee, just kidding. A part of me would like to see Grimm go big like that - unleash some sort of global apocalypse or worldwide conflagration. Might be too much to hope for though.

I'm betting on something like the key to genetic alchemy as alluded to above. Or perhaps the key to unlocking telekinetic powers. Maybe Hexenbiests were somehow the result of the Ancients' failed attemtps to create a race of "mind warriors" and the keys hide the secret to that transformation. Could explain the Royals' rather strange fascination with Hexenbiests, as revealed for instance in their having built dungeions that are capable of containing them. Would also lend credance to the idea that's been floated that the Royals might be very interested in Juliette once they learn of her new identity. In any case, I feel a strange certainty that Juliette's destiny in particular is somehow tied to that reveal, one way or the other.
