~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Deva sighed as he watched the Moon and Sun Kingdom argue back and forth. About an hour or two has passed of which Bardo has since started to draw. Deva wished he could join her but he currently had to make sure no one attacked the other. Deva was clearly the only one to actually want to stop the fighting. Blue would have joined in but Deva clearly saw the other was conspiring with Bardo on something.

Deva secretly prayed in his soul for nothing too chaotic to happen. But he may have jinxed it when he prayed. Oblivion damnit.

"Deva?"

Deva blinked as he finally focused his attention on the others near the table. Both leaders along with some subordinates were looking at him of which he coughed as he gave a nervous smile. That seems to make them relax or look away in embarrassment. Deva connected the voice to Dream to which a small part of him relaxed when Dream spoke again.

"Deva, we're all wondering of who the ruler, or mayor, of the town you used to live in is. This is the first time we ever heard of the town and we know nothing, unfortunately."

Deva tilted his head as he grew thoughtful for a moment. Deva's memory was....odd. Unless something held his interest then he would slowly forget those of noninterest in his views. Undertale kept his interest along with the fandom from how investing it was. Once Deva is in fandom, he never truly leaves it all. So Deva looked through this life's memories until he saw a flash of blue in his vision. Deva blinked as he thought back to the flash as it cleared for him slightly to where he saw a skeleton that reminded Deva of Error. Something tickled his memory but it eluded him for the moment.

"Yes, I remember meeting the mayor a couple of years back but sadly, the name eludes me for the moment. I'll have to look through my notebooks in my bags to find the name."

That made many sighs or groan but Cross perked up as he went somewhere. Deva looked as Cross left then looked back at everyone as he saw Nightmare looking thoughtful, Error was knitting something at the moment which Deva wanted to watch as he saw the awe of the famous knitting Error. But sadly, Ink asked a question that got everyone's attention.

"Sooooo, what did he look like? I mean, I can draw him or go ask someone in the Sun Kingdom to find a picture of the being."

Deva paused as he blinked at the other. Huh, Deva remembered that in the fandom Ink was not a being known for good ideas or ideas in general. But Deva can admit that it was an idea that could work as Ink was an artist in sense, no matter the AU or Multiverse/Omniverse. Dream and Blue gave Ink proud looks for the idea of which made Deva wonder what ideas he said before.

"Well, from what little I can remember, he reminds me of Error but in a more white/blue scheme than the primary colors."

That made everyone pause as Error looked at Deva with blinking eye sockets. Deva looked at him with a calm look that spoke of how serious Deva was.

"Wait, seriously? Hey, glitchy, is that your dad or something?"

"No, I dOn'T eVeN rEmEmBeR mY oWn PaReNtS."

That made something in Deva pause. He frowned as he looked at the desk in thought. The memories tickled him but the very knowledge in it eluded him.

"Here!"

Deva jolted slightly as he looked to see Cross come back with some notebooks that Deva knew he needed to look through.

"Thanks, Cross, once I have the time I'll make you some Death by Chocolate."

Cross looked hungry from the word chocolate of which those of the darker spectrum looked amused at the look with Error pouting. Deva giggled internally as he looked at the notebook covers until he found an older-looking one that was labeled 2~9. Deva quickly took it and flipped through the pages as he tried to find the right passage.

'...floating was surprising relaxing yet odd to feel as a skeleton...'

'...my markings came in of which my parents totally flipped about...'

'...Nova and Bardo would've loved this place as the stars were more bright...'

'...okay, how do I adopt an adult? No, really, how do I adopt a child?...'

'...saw an odd bird today. It laid an egg from me startling it and thus I had eggs for dinner...'

'...the mayor of the town had a twin of which whose called Alpha...'

He paused as he blinked. He frowned as he read the entries of the notebook.

'Hello, Deva here my little secret collector.

Well, I've decided to study up the town I was in of which made me seek out my parents. A no-go as they just pushed me away for the time being. Later I found out that my parents were helping some others at a wedding. Getting the hint, for the time being, I just walked to the library that I remembered we had. I was just glad that my town had no kidnapping event. When I got to the library there was no librarian but I just looked around for the book as I wanted to know things and I have no patience today. Found a book that was hidden and thus just decided to read it for the heck of it. I wanted to learn something, so I did.

When I started to read the book, it was when I found out that the town has only been around for about 40 years. It was interesting as for as long as I could remember, this town was as high functioning as a town that's been around longer. I'm 8 years in age, so I was a second-generation in this town in some way. Well, I kept reading the book to where I found out the names of which made something in me freeze.

The very founder was two brothers called Alpha and William. Now, I don't know why that froze me but it was when the knowledge of a certain fandom hit me like a flaming truck. Alpha was the very Sans of Alphatale with William being the infamous Error 404. Now, don't get me wrong, I knew that I was a Monster yet it never really hit me that other fandom characters could be in this world. So, when I read this section, I felt something in me shudder heavily. 404 is a crazy being altogether, I knew some aspects of him, but he was a Master Manipulator. His sanity wasn't all there if I remember right and he controlled multiple powerful beings, those being the infamous Error Sans and King Multiverse.

While all of this frightened me, I kept reading for the fact that I wanted to find out more. Alpha, of this multiverse, died after having a child of which nobody really knew the name. Nothing else was really mentioned except how 404 treated the child as their own child. Then the child disappeared which made 404 turns into a tyrant. Now, I have some theory of the laws now and the ones with my markings. 404 may be looking for the child or maybe trying to revive the child or Alpha.

Now, what exactly happened to the child? Or Alpha for the matter?

Signing off, Deva Starr.'

Deva stared at the page with wide eyes as he then shot up his head and looked at Error. Deva didn't notice anyone's expressions as he stared at Error. Deva carefully felt the other's magic as he felt through his memories to then get a match. Deva then thumped his head on the desk as distress, shock, and disbelief flooded his system.

"Woah!!! Dream, you okay!?!?!"

"Damn, that was a boost in power. Deva, what's got your attention?"

Deva looked up to see everyone just giving each other looks or some looking unsure of what to do. Deva took a deep breath as he calmed his emotions. He then explained to everyone what he found as he put the notebooks together in order.

"The mayor is named Error 404."

That made Error looked shocked and confused at the name. In fact, everyone was shocked at the news as far as Deva could tell.

"Huuuuuuh? Wha-seriously!?!?!?"

"No way, just what in the pits of the Underworld..."

"Well, dang, looks like we found something...useful? Interesting? Odd?"

"That...is...certainly...interesting."

"Hmm, this is certainly useful in some way."

"But brother, what does Error have in connection to this...404 fellow?"

Deva coughed to catch everyone's attention. Thankfully, everyone looked back at him with questions in their eye lights. Deva could see that Bardo was giving Error searching looks while also looking at Deva with a tilted head. Deva answered the unspoken questions.

"Well, 404 had a brother dubbed Alpha who had a child. Alpha died when the child was born and I couldn't find a reason why but the laws weren't put into place until a few years later. Error, can I ask how old you are?"

That seemed to make Error freeze as he answered with hesitance clear in his actions. The other was clearly uncomfortable with the theories in front of him.

"...I'm 27 YeArS oF aGe."

Deva nodded as he answered.

"The nephew of 404 is two years older thank me and I'm 25 years of age. Now, this could be all speculation as I know nothing of your background unless you want to say anything. But, I did hear you tell Ink that you don't remember your parents which do you remember anything past the age of 8?"

The atmosphere got intense as Error grew blank-faced as he looked at the desk. Killer looked ready to go to Error with Fell, Cross, Horror, and Dust also looking to join in.

"...No, I dOn'T rEmEmBeR aNyThInG."

"Why is that significant Deva? Children typically don't remember anything during their childhood."

Killer surprisingly sad this piece while looking ready to hurt something. Deva answered carefully as he knew Killer was looking very angry with this.

"The laws came into being after the child disappeared a few weeks after his  8th birthday. 404 eventually turned tyrant from this from trying to search for his nephew who he may have seen as his own son. 404 may believe that the child was killed, thus, he decided to use a ritual to bring them back to life. Which may kill Error if my speculation is correct."

That seemed to be the breaking point as Killer looked devastated by what Deva said. Silence rang through the room. Nobody said anything as the words registered in their minds.

Nightmare looked tired and angry mixed with desperation of which made Deva realize that the other either saw Error as a brother or something more. Dream was saddened while leaning on his arms with Ink looking lost and uncertain of this news. Blue and Bardo had hardened looks but Deve could see that Bardo wanted to immediately hug Error for all his worth. Horror was growling lowly in distress, Fell was also looking distressed while Dust was hugging himself with a maddening smile on his face to face the despair of the news. Cross had also a hardened look but Deva could see the shaking in his fist.

Error was blank-faced as he looked at the desk of which Deva got up. Nobody really stopped him as the news was still in their minds. Deva walked over to Error then calmly held out a hand. Deva knew the original Error had a fear of touch of which almost every counterpart of himself had it so Deva held out his hand for the other to take. Error looked at the hand then carefully took it which Deva then hugged Error carefully and warmly.

Error shook for a moment but hugged Deva back if not more tightly of which Deva felt relieved that he could hug Error for this moment before his fear acted up.

Nothing was said as everyone digested the speculation and what was to come.
