The moment they noticed his halfafication, King Danny didn't spare a second and immediately bring him to the Far Frozen.

The Yetis, Ironically to their Cores and nature, greeted them warmly.

After King Danny and Chief Frostbite, The Ancient Chief of Frost and Winter itself(he claimed that he inherited the title Ancient from the previous one who was originally been a part of Sealing Pariah Dark away with the help of other Ancients barring Frightknight, into the Sacrophagus of Forever Sleep. Tim found it odd but didn't press because it seems like a sensitive topic), talked about Tim's Halfafication, Frostbite led both him and King Danny to his Facility to get better readings.

After a series of test Frostbite expertly performs with outmost care and precision, as he have probably done with his majesty before, he diagnosed that yes, Tim is a Halfa, a fully mature one at that.

Frostbite and King Danny then proceed to explain to him what being an Halfa means.

As it turns out, King Danny is one himself and the second true halfa in all of the Infinite Realms' convoluted history, with the First one being the second High Ghost king, Lazarus.

And boy, wasn't that name a surprise?

Also, if anyone noticed tim being giddy and ecstatic about the prosphect of having something in common with his King, they didn't said a thing.

(Frostbite just sigh at the two young adults in front of him, one is head over heels while the other is completely oblivious.)

(Far away in the depths of the Realms, Clockwors just watch the Drama while Dan (he's been getting therapy from Jazz from other timelines courtesy of Clockwork)is on the floating couch he nabbed from Vlad's Lair while eating ghostly popcorn, yelling at Danny and Tim on the screen in annoyance and to—JUST FUCKING KISS ALREAD—!

"Behave Danimir, there could be kids reading this."

"This is tumblr, why would kids even be here? And also, aren't you supposed to know everything? "

"One can't be really sure about that. Also, that only applies to the clusters of infinite Multiverses that is binded to the Infinite Realms. Outside of it? With the other SINGULARITIES present, i could only peak at best."

"...what"

"Paradox is a really annoying menace, though not as much as Khan. Bunnyx is a sweetheart, the TVA is a cult while Time Baby with his time police is a annoying upstart, alwasy throwing a Time Tantrum™ whenever a time anomaly happens. It was a delight when Cipher killed him. That was he get from trademarking his own tantrum."

"Seriously, what."

"Now hush, just watch and let Timothy dream in peace."

"I could smell a nightmare in the making."

Clockwork just hummed in response.)

Frostbite then began to explain different kinds of halfa, as there are different kinds apparently.

First one he explain are the Human adjacent Halfas; Ghost that has legitimate living(or atleast semi alive) human forms and technically have neverbeen alive or dead in the firstplace.

Dan and Dani has been given out as examples. Dan being both ghost half of Vlad and King Danny in another timeline, with King Danny's persona coming out of top while Vlad's got devoured in the merging process, and has retained the ability to turn human despite claiming to have thrown out his humanity. While Dani, who is a clone of King Danny, she was created, not born, and never have died in any way.

The second kind is are the Ghost adjacent Halfas; Humans who have been exposed to very very high level consentration of Ectoplasm, whether all at once or by slow exposure. All while suffering from slow death.

Ghost adjacent Halfas' transition from being a normal human to being a halfa is a long process. In which a person's cells which got charge with ectoplasm died and got rejuvinated and ghostlified one by one before the person dies which will complete the halfafication.

Apparently, it's the kind of halfa most Ecto liminals could turn in to.

They explained that Ecto liminals (different to common liminals that are dead and alive at the same time without the presence of ectoplasm) are living beings that have been getting exposed to high amounts of high quality ectoplasm for a long period of time that they retain the ability to create their own ectoplasm inside their bodies from their emotions and by fulfilling their Ghostly Fixations, the human version Ghost Obsession, and gain abilities based from it just like tier four ghosts and above with Obsession based powers.

The common examples are the residents of Amity park, especially the students of a School called Casper high from King Danny's home universe, the universe that the Infinite Realms have the most strongest connection with unlike Tim's home Universe which connections only extend to the Corrupted cesspools of ectoplasm called Lazarus pits which the League of Assasins uitilzed and the Phantom Zone, named after King Danny himself (it was a surprise to now that the Kryptonians worship King Danny as Dan-El, the Kryptonian God of Death) that the Kryptonians use as a Prison, which are the only most common examples of ectoplasm source.

They could be called Ecto contaminated, if you decided to asked the Fentons. And no one really liked the Fentons despite being the King's Biological parents so no one does.

He heard the stories, and he's inclined to agree that the Fentons should stay to the other side of the realms and should stay inside the Fenton Corpse™, away from Black Frost Castle. It doesn't matter if their sorry, the damage is done.

Now, despite being majority of the Amity park being Ecto liminals and prime subject to Halfafication, almost none of them really turn in to one.

This is because of the other very specific requirement that the person need to be suffering from slow death and a strong will and emotions.

The most perfect example of this kind of halfa is Plazmius, who got his portal accident from college and suffered from ecto acne which slowly kills him for years before he died and completely turn in to a halfa. In fact, this is the category that he actually belongs to.

"Wait, you mean to tell me that i have been slowly dying over the years? How?"

Frostbite and King Danny exchange looks with each other before answering.

"Young Cōnsilior, you informed us that you do not posses a Spleen, which means that your immune system is very very fragile, I'm actually surprised with your health when you first came! However, the Realms is a very harsh environment to mortals and non ecto based lifeforms, your lifestyle, and your horrifying intake of Caffine and eventually, Ecto coffee and Ecto-dejecto reminiscent of the Great One–"

King danny rubbed his head sheepishly at that and at this point, Tim got where Frostbite is going at.

"Are you saying that I was slowly dying from caffine overdose???"

Frostbite and King Danny exchange look with each other and Tim lowkey felt left out.

"Not exactly, but to simplify things. Yes, you died of overdose."

Tim looks down on his still smoking mug of Ecto coffee before drinking the whole thing down in one go.

"Fair enough."

After that, they began explaining the last kind of Halfa, the one King Danny was classified as.

Not without first teaching him how to transform and detransform from ghost to human and from human to ghost, because apparently, his current appearance is his actual ghost from and not his human one.

Tim was surprised on how his black hair turn snow white in human form with his eyes having something that oddly look like eyeliners which turn out to be actual eyebags from his death.

Apparently, halfafication had the tendency to invert things such as colors and gender (it's the reason that Princess Dani end up as a girl instead of a boy). And that Ghost Adjacent Halfas under go color inversion in their human forms instead of their ghost halves like King Danny had.

(He got to admit, having white hair, pale skin, bright teal eyes highlighted by the eyebags underneath his eyes looks very cool on him.)

Speaking of King Danny, the final known class of halfas, being the true Halfa, is the state of being in complete balance between being dead and alive. Not being a ghostly human or a humanly ghost but being both at the same time.

Much like Schrödinger to be exact.

Both a ghost(dead) and a Human(alive) at the same time.

King Danny turned Halfa with his accident with a manmade Ghost portal when it got turned on while he was inside if it.

He died from electrucution, instantly becoming a ghost with the amount of ectoplasm present while his body got restored by the said ectoplasm, making his ghost and ecto contaminated body bond and rearrange from smallest atom right down to meta physical levels.

Jason instantly comes to his mind.

Did he become ghost when he died? Before he got ressurected? Did it bond with his ressurected body aswell when they threw him in to the cess pool of currupted ectoplasm?

Tim is sure what to feel with that.

Tim shaked his head, not wanting to deal with the idea.

King Danny perked up, as if he remembered something important.

"I almost forgot! I like you to meet someone!"

Tim look at his king questioningly,

Meet someone?

King danny turn to the door behind tim, "You can come inside now!"

Tim's expression fell as it slowly turn in to dread and shock.

"...Jason?"

The person who enter the door looks and acts exactly like Jason, other than the obviously wrong colorings

Instead of black hair with white tuff of hair in the middle, its the other way around. White hair with black tuff. His eyes are red instead of blue, his wears his red hoon costume that are also inverted in colors.

He then notice the the odd ethereal glow that He seems to be giving off and—

"...no"

Jason walk closer and Tim suddenly found himself backed against the wall that was previously not there, grin slowly etching in to jasons face as he stalk closer.

"Oh, yes Replacement."

Tim could feel his slow heart rate rising steadily in panic, "H-how, why?"

Oblivious to Tim's dillema, Danny just chirped cheerfully, "Well why of course, he's my new Knight and bodyguard!"

Tim's felt something stabbed him to his core at his beloved king's words.

Knight? Knight? And bodyguard? Why? What about tim? Wasn't he enough? Is he not needed anymore?

No. Please, please no...

"Yes Replacement, you aren't needed anymore."

"NO!" Tim screamed in denial, turning to his king with fear and desperation in his voice, he is on his knees, clutching his king's Cosmic cape regalia, "K-king danny! Your Highness! Please! Please! This got to be some kind of mistake! I-I'm still usefull! I-I'll do anything, please, please, please don't throw me away."

Tim was ugly sobbing at this point but he doesnt care.

"Please don't leave me alone too.."

His king just stared at him in apathy, the expression felt so foreign to the usually jolly king that he was so used to.

He heard a gun clicking and turn to jason pointing his gun at him.

He isn't at the Far Frozen anymore.

He isn't in the Realms anymore.

Nor he is Cōnsilior, the Ghost King's Advisor anymore.

He's Robin, the replacement.

On the ground with the freshly resurrected Jason looming over him like death.

He gave him a cruel smile, his eyes glowing in sinister green, "Looks like I'm going to be your replacement, Replacement."

Tim woke up screaming as the wind did at the same time.

---

He shot out of his chair, breathing ragged, cold sweat pouring down his face as though he just had a beat down with an Ancient.

It was a dream.

A dream.

He steadied his breathing, calming down himself as he took in the state of his room.

Everything was a mess, just like a hurricane came barreling through his office.

And to be fair, it did.

He tried steadiying his breathing again, trying yo calm down his wind core.

"I could have sworned you'd have an electric core."

Tim immediately turn around and see Fright knight in all his halloween glory sitting on a chair next to the door, unaffected by the localized hurricane.

Tim scoffed, "Me? An electric core? Yeah right." Tim would never want an electric core. He won't even dare to think of the possibility of having one.

the knight stared at him for a moment, "I see, it's about your obsession isn't it?"

"Don't ask questions that you already now the answers."

"Apologies,"

"What are you even doing in my office?"

"Just visiting a colleague, is that wrong?"

Tim felt his eye twitched, "No, but the litteral nightmare i have earlier is."

"It's not my fault that my mere pressence could cause nightmares, young Timothy."

"Then please be out of my pressence instead."

"What a rude colleague I have."

"Also, it's Cōnsilior Starling."

While he isn't Red Robin any more, the bird theme has been a part of him whether he like it or not, hence the Starling part.

"As you say Timothy,"

Tim felt his eye twitched in annoyance again. He doesn't understand why Fright knight keep on pushing his buttons be he does and it's getting in Tim's nerve everytime.

(Fright knight is still bitter that Tim end up as an Advisor instead of a Royal Knight to the Ghost King. It's not that he has anything against to the title itself (to the previous title holder? He does.) But he's been hoping to have a new Knight to the ranks that serve King Phantom other than thralls.)

All of a sudden, Tim felt a ringing pulse in his head. He scowled and went to the door, transforming in to Cōnsilior Starling ghost form on the way, his staff appearing in his hand along with.

"Emergency?"

Tim sighed, "Someone is summoning King Danny in some universe out there."

"Ah, yes. Cultist. This reminds me of the olden days when i was used to be summoned. Making humans tremble in fear whenever I they summoned me." Frightknight let out a sigh from nostalgia.

"Ah, the good times."

This made Tim think for a second, "You know what? I might just do that."

Tim is still in a bad mood from his nightmare and from having a summon right after waking up from an awfull sleep. Perhaps traumatizing some cultist would lift his mood a little.

"Tell me how it goes later."

Tim shrugged at the knight, "Sure."

With that, Tim go to the Summoning Chambers.

Just as Tim leave, Frightknight turn his eyes at the corner of the office.

"I hope you're aware that his majesty will be informed of this."

"Now, don't be like that Frightknight."

Darkness adourned by the moving stars and nightsky poured out of the said corner.

"Then you should have known that intruding to your own colleague is rather rude, Nocturne."

The Ancient King of Dreams chuckled, "A shame, just when I was bearing some good news that I thought you'd be rather interested."

The Ancient Lord of Fear and Halloween spirit raised a brow at that, "And that would be..."

Nocturne grin, "A possible Knight and new Halfa of course."

Frightknight's eyes widen at that, "I see, that seems like a good news indeed."

"Right?"

"The King would still be informed of this however."

Nocturne's shoulder drooped, "Ah, curses."

Danny bit back a sigh from his place on the throne as two young vigilantes fell from a portal in his throneroom. He peered at him through his long white veil as he straitened himself. He knew what to do. He had done this song and dance sixty-two times now and he was about to do it again.

He watched them bicker from the cold floor of his ice castle, something he made from his own ice so that the observants couldn't see or hear what was happening inside or pop in without his explicit permission. Something that angered the nosey creeps to no end. Ah, he's getting lost in his thoughts again. Its time to start the test.

"Why have you come to my Realms mortals?" He felt almost silly calling them that, but it worked in getting the two to stop arguing and pay attention to him. Ah, the younger one has a sword. Cool. Won't help him here, but he gets points for ascetic if nothing else.

"State your names."

"I am Robin!" The smaller one yelled, fierceness of his voice to match the fire in his soul.

The older seemed more hesitant, taking a moment to assess the situation before answering, "I'm Red Robin. Sorry for dropping in so suddenly-"

The younger cut in, needlessly destroying his partners attempt at deescalating the situation, "We were not at fault! A portal opened underneath us and we were transported here!"

Danny knows that. Thats why he was testing them, "Are you saying that fate brought you here?"

Robin looked pleased before confirming.

"Then you shall stay here, as those who enter the Lands of Lazarus are never allowed to leave."

They both bulked, one trying to argue and the other trying to reason with him. Danny tapped his fingers on the armrest of his throne, pretending to think. "I will be merciful and allow one of you to leave. I will allow you a moment to make your choice." Danny barely got his words out before the older one declared that he would stay behind, putting himself between the king and his companion. Good. He passed the test.

He turned his attention back to the younger, "And you are fine with this?" This is the part where the companion adamantly refuses and offers themselves as sacrifice and the two bicker about who will get to sacrifice themselves for the other. The king becomes "moved by thier bond" or whatever and sends them both back to the land of the living.

"Of course! He's useless anyway."

...wat.

The older one made a wounded sound that made his core ache with the need to care and protect. This was not how things were supposed to go. Were ten year olds supposed to be this cruel? At that moment he made an admittedly impulsive decision and sent the child back, keeping the older of the two in the spirit would with him.

Leaving the comfort of his throne he walked down the steps towards the young man, his snowy robes fanning out majestically as his crown of stars bobbed around at his movements, some even going so far as to float around him as if showing off.

"I've made a decision. For this day forth you are my royal advisor." He stated before grabbing the other guys hand and pulling him along down the hall, "You're going to help me rebuild my kingdom from the thousands of years of war and political neglect it has faced. You will aid me in political endeavors as well as help the people in any way you see fit." He paused long enough to open the kitchen door and sit him down at the counter,

"But first, what do you want for lunch?"
