Chapter Text
It has been a month since the barrier was broken, I have been trying my best to be the ambassador for the underground, but things never go as planned, especially not with Undyne around. I roll around on my bed, the covers are a mess, and the pillow could fall off any moment. The humans are wary of the monsters, knowing the legends are true, real history as we now know. It’s hard to let the past go.
Outside the window, above the bed is the view of where the barrier once stood, and at the end of the tunnel one could make out the glare of spotlights. To keep the humans from coming into the underground, we made a deal that the only way down would be watched 24/7, and any monster would have an escort with them when above ground.
It would be best not to keep anything hidden; two weeks ago I asked the governor to air a request for any family that had a loved one go missing around Mt. Ebott to send in a picture of them, so Asgore or Toriel could identify the fallen humans before myself. Half of the bodies have been returned so far.
Just this morning we were returning the 3rd human’s body, when part of their family got a bit too close and threatening Undyne was with us and jumped in to cover me. Things went downhill from there…
Uhgg… we didn’t need that to happen… if only the day could start over again, I would stop Undyne before that happened….
I sit up and look out the window.
The day COULD start over, it been awhile since I Loaded a SAVE… I… No.
I fell back, knocking the pillow off the bed. I can’t do that, it’s been so long since I Loaded a SAVE, or even SAVEd. I just can’t do it.
I roll over again, and throw my arm over the side to save my pillow from the floor; I stop and lay on my front with my hand over the bag of feathers. Mending the peace. I knew it would be hard, much harder than anything I faced before… My hand took hold of the pillow and lifted it back up. I curl myself around the pillow and take a deep breath. Tomorrow will be a new day; I’ll need to make the best of it.
The world slowly faded away as I welcomed sleep.
Suddenly the rush of falling took over.
When… when did my bed feel so hard? Pushing myself up I opened my eyes; around me was a familiar area. This dream again, huh? I lift up a golden flower: the same place, same pillars; everything is just like it was once before.
Every now and again I dream of my journey; often it would be jumpy as to where I was: in the ruins, the catwalk running from Undyne, facing off against Papyrus or even on the ‘date’ with him. During some dreams, there’s no one, only the howling wind, and snow falling. I don’t remember being alone in those places, and something about those dreams make me wake in cold sweat.
I stuck the flower behind my ear and got up on my feet; let’s see where this dream takes me.
I stopped right beside the door: in the next room is Flowey, or maybe it’ll be Asriel, that had happened once before. Nope; in the middle of the light is that Flower. With my feet slapping against the cool ground I walked into the same light as Flowey.
“Howdy! I’m Flowey. Flowey the flower! Hmmm” he looked me over and an odd expression took over his face, a smile that made me sick to my stomach. “You’re new to the Underground, aren’t cha? Golly, you must be so confused. Someone-”
I let out a puff of breath, why does he have to keep talking, I had heard this so many times before. I took a step to the right and was going to bypass him until-
“AGH!” I fell down to all four, well, three really, my right hand holding where I was hit by a pellet. IT HURTS, it’s not meant to HURT. I shot a look at Flowey, his demonic smile pulled ear to ear.
“Wow, you’re really messed up, huh?” he started talking once again, and summoned the ring of pellets. My vision started to fade in and out, the shock of the pain Causing most of it, a mix of red, white, and black was the last thing I saw before my body fully hit the ground.
