Description
Ruke stood ready at Grillby’s side now, feathers bristling with spines of ice. Grillby lit a few of his lances and lunged forward, intent to finish the haggard thing where it stood even as he screamed a spell.
A spell that struck Gaster to the very soul. Words that made him scream and curl and cower with his hands above his head because he knew them and he knew them well .
But for all the fear he felt, he realized with dawning horror that the spell hadn’t been meant for him, nor had the bright white he’d known so painfully consumed his vision. Gaster looked up slowly, and his soul dropped out of his chest.
The mage was laughing, giddy with triumph and relief as Grillby staggered and fell to one knee. Ruke had flitted back a few steps standing closer to Gaster, confused as the elemental dropped his sword and clawed instead at his face, the back of his head anything, screaming as he went.
And then just as suddenly as he’d started, Grillby stopped, eyes wide and centered on the ground at his feet, hands fisted in the blazing whites of the fire on his head. And then slowly, calmly, Grillby stood, bending gently to retrieve his sword. He tested it in his hand for a moment, before tilting his head over his shoulder in Gaster and Ruke’s direction.
“It worked!” the mage laughed and screamed, relief cracking their voice, “It worked!! I can’t believe –”
Gaster hazarded a step forward, “Grillby? Grillby!”
He got no response, only an empty stare and the thunder of approaching hooves still making their way through the carnage.

Casting Rain fanart has been a long time comin’! I was way super late on reading it but then I became buddies with the author and a whole bunch of other undertale/grillster-esque folks and it’s been grand? This has happened over the course of two years roughly but hey. I got my butt into gear starting the series a few months ago and surged to catch up a few days ago, and loRDY.
So here you go the3Ss ! One of the few forewarned promised pictures I said I’d do! And oh of course, the first published one is one with some feels. Who would I be if I didn’t do that?
