"...Wait. ...Why are you looking at me like that? Like you have seen a ghost." Calm purple eyes, genuine smile. Her warm paws that her magic caress within her wounds. Frisk just smile to Toriel.

"It's fine. And I know that Asriel didn't intend to do that." Frisk said with a smile.

"Alright. So, I want to know why are you're here in the Underground, dear?" Toriel asked.

"We're here to save monsters again and rebuild the kingdom at the Surface. Just like before... Me, Chara, Asriel and you, with Dad. Rebuild another home for humans and monsters." 

Toriel chuckles and gave Frisk a confusing look, "What do you mean rebuild the kingdom, my child? You think that monsters needs to be saved? We're living our lives peacefully because of Master Dark." 

"It's been years since my husband was lost after the war. Asgore just disappeared for years, leaving me to take responsibility of taking care monsterkind. I tried my best to lead the kingdom by my own but I can't be a perfect queen for monsters." 

 "But with help of Dark, he volunteered himself to take the throne even I wanted one of his sons to replace me."

Asriel rolled his triangular eyes, "I don't know why you choose them if you can just passed the throne to me."

"You're too young to take responsibility, you're not ready to be a king."

"But I am! Those skeletons never deserved it. I'm your son, I will do everything for monsters and the kingdom. Trusting them especially Dark is never been a good choice."

"Asriel, stop." Chara said. Asriel turns around to her. "What?"

"I said stop it." Chara said while she look at Asriel with her brown eyes turning blood red. "I think your mom is right. You don't have to judge him like that."

"You know Dark!Gaster, human?" Toriel asked as Frisk looked at her, 

"Yes. Uhm... before the war, I met him." 

"At the Surface? Yes, he was around helping us. Dark was our Ambassador."

"But Chara and I were the Ambassadors, we helped you escape the Underground!?" Frisk was confused. ( "How come Dark!Gaster was their Ambassador??" )

"I didn't remember humans saved us. Dark was the one to save us all with his successful research, I forgot what it is, but he's our savior. I have my gratitude that for some years we got to live at the Surface."

( "Dark!Gaster? He's the savior of monsters and free them from Underground?" ) Her hazel eyes turns to Kris, whose behind her and supporting her posture.

"Anyways, we'll talk about that later, I need to find some herbs outside to make you some medicine, the crystals from my son's vines are poisonous and I need something to stop from spreading it." Toriel looked at Asriel with annoyed look.

"I'm really sorry again, Frisk" 

"It's alright." Frisk said with a smile.

"I'll leave for now, Asriel take care the house while I'm gone." Toriel stood from the bed and went out the room.

"Asriel and I are gonna talk about something, I'll give this guy a lesson from hurting you."

"Wait, what are you-"  Chara grabs Asriel's paws before he can finish his sentence and both of them went out the room, leaving Kris and Frisk alone.

Frisk sighed and finally looked at Kris. "Kris, what's happening? Toriel didn't remember us?" 

"I don't know, maybe something happened but first, you need to rest and gain your strength. Don't think about that and we can talk about it with your sister later, okay?" Kris said while caressing her hair gently.

"Okay, I feel a bit dizzy, I'll sleep instead." Kris gently puts her to bed. "Get some sleep, later I'll cook something for you to eat."

"Thanks, Kris." 

"Everything just for you, Frisk." Kris kissed Frisk forehead and went out the room, letting Frisk goes to sleep.

Later, that night, Frisk is already been healed and sleeping with Kris. Toriel went out to find Chara missing as Asriel told her.

"My... Child.. ?"

(...)

The ground is so thick with purple and ivory petals that it reminds Chara of the beautiful gardens fish her father once owned. The colours overlap with a heady vibrancy that brings her hands swooping down on instinct. 

She lets her fingers touch the shining "scales," holding them up briefly to take in their aroma before letting them tumble from her hand back to the floor. Every shade of gem petals is there, so large and until every each of it turns to dust.

Her sword, glows red in the dark corridors. Instead of blood, the aroma of the gem petals enveloped around the blade. 

"He's our savior. He can save us all. He can save me from this darkness. No one will suffer under her golden touch."

"HERE WE ARE AT THE CASTLE, SANS. THERE'S SO MANY MONSTERS THIS YEAR'S EVENT. I HOPE MASTER WILL NOTICE ME AND MY CONCOCTIONS. HOPE THAT I DIDN'T FORGET-"

...

"SANS."

"yeah bro."

"PLEASE, CAN YOU GET MY COOKBOOK IN THE SHELVES. I MIGHT FORGOT THE COMPONENTS TO PUT IN MY CONCOCTIONS, LATER."

...

...

"SANS..?"

"OH HE'S ALREADY GONE."

Cold grew over the room even as the blanket kept me warm. I watched the gem flowers glow beside me, allowing my brain to be empty, content to exist and be where I am now. 

Yet between now and watching my breaths rise as new mistakes, sorrows, death... there will be a very cold night.

Frisk woke up. She can't decipher if it's already morning. But she feels how cold it was, it's still midnight.

Kris was beside her since she can't sleep alone. Until now, she's old enough to be on her own. Yet having Kris' company can't be denied that she feels safe and protected with him.

In the room, there are two beds and the other one is abandoned... "Chara? Guess she went out again."

"I should find her, tomorrow we need to go to find Sa-... I mean, he knows we're coming, right?"

Frisk wear her boots and quietly exits the room, not making any noise to wake up Kris from his sleep. From Toriel's home, the wind become colder as she stepped outside. 

As she went through, the crystal dusts were everywhere. No monsters we're outside but only crystal dust flying through the cold wind.

"Chara... Chara..." Frisk started to call her sister. Looking in every dark rooms of the Ruins.

It's been a couple of hours she went to look around for Chara.

She couldn't find her. It's no use. Her sister has gone missing.

"Mom and Asriel aren't home either. I guess they're also finding her. Maybe... I should go back, maybe Chara went home already with them?"

Frisk immediately went home. Still there's no sight of Chara neither Toriel or Asriel. Later on, she went down stairs.

"Chara..."

...

"... Asriel..."

...

"... Mom..."

...

Frisk can here echoes of her call. As she went further, the path went dark. Darker... darker... and darker. Her gold necklace became her light, glows more and became her guide. The wind was colder than before, but the light within her necklace... she felt warmth. Warmth around her SOUL. 

"Chara... "

Frisk tries to call her sister.

"Chara... "

...

"Chara...?"

Another pile of crystal dust... in front of somewhat a opal-shaped gate. 

"Another gate? No. She can't be out there alone... right?"

"No. I might be wrong, but I need to find my sister."

Frisk went through the portal. 

"Frisk!"

"i got it. now i just need to go teleport back to Papy and..."

Suddenly, Sans stopped by in front of his house. "why i'm here. no."

Sans changed from his turquoise hoodie and black shorts, to his Witch Guard oufit with a blink of his eye sockets. The gem flowers starts to dim on the fields. Indicating a monster had died.

"They're here." Sans vanished to come to see where the petals had fall.

 "Chara!"

Snowdin Fields. It's the mystic garden here in the Underground. With no sunlight or anything that can make these flowers grows can't be explained. Even how they can stand the cold weather of the fields but the flowers are blooming and glowing.

Through the tall gem trees, she followed the path that seems to be Chara's footsteps. 

After a few steps later, someone appeared behind her.

"...lumen ..."

"That voice. It can be..."

Frisk turns around, her hazel eyes were met by glowing blue eye lights. Her SOUL felt warmth. That warmth she felt back in the Ruins. It became stronger as her necklace glows more.

A tall skeleton while holding a staff, slowly approached her.

"heya, sunshine."

"i'm olen. but you can also call me sans."

"sans the skeleton."

Sans offers his "right hand" for a handshake.

"why don't you shake my "hand". "

 Frisk seems reluctantly accepts it.

"no... not again."

His right eye lights turns from blue to turquoise. His gems on his clothes starts to glow, until both of them we're shining together between the tall gem trees. 

"why do you have to come back, Frisk"

Frisk was under Sans' magic, her head starts to hurt. Flashes of images appears... random voices she starts to hear until... everything went black.

"Frisk!"
