This is a tale. A tale of two. Falling in love, though it may be forbidden. How do those stories start again? Oh, yes, of course.

Once apon a time, there was a French artist by the name of Encrè Noir. She was a female skeleton, 'beloved' by all. By that I mean most people in the village of Underville. Underville was a small town in the outskirts of France. Not many spoke French there, though. She was well known across France because of her family, and talents. The young skeleton had just moved there due to some.... unfortunate events that had occurred concerning her recently. Many adored her because of her passion and amazing talent for art and pretty much all creative subjects, but of course you had the haters...

"YOU FRENCH FREAK!" shouted one of the defencless skeleton's bullies. "You should have stayed in that pathetic 'studio' of yours in France!". As you may have guessed, Encrè was teased because she is 'different', unique and weak. This is a classic day for her. Leave her studio  ( and home ), get beaten by the same gang, cry and continue with her day with the various harsh comments she would get every now and then. It didn't happen often after 11.00am because she was usually around Azure, Sir Rufous, Eterna or Dr.Lofy. Azure and Eterna were Vampire hunters ( or huntress, if you please ),  so they were much stronger than Encrè. Sir Rufous is the towns blacksmith, so he was relativley strong. And EVERYONE knew not to mess with Dr.Lofy. Eterna would have your head mounted on her wall in seconds if you were to lay one wrong finger on her. There's still a bit of blood on the floor of the town square from last time. Eterna is very protective of her friends and loved ones, buuut can also be a big jerk.

But today was different.

Today Encrè was summond by King Asgore. And she was trying to reach the castle. She was going to be late if the gang didn't leave soon. The poor skeleton was a mess, covered in mud with scratches all over herself. Her clothes were taterd and broken. She had to pray for a miracle. The leader of the gang was about to punch her in the skull. Encrè closed her eyes and prepared for impact when..

"WHAT DO YOU PUNKS THINK YOU'RE DOING!?!"

Her prayers had been answered. They were answered by a tall, red haired fish with the intent to kill. 'O thank Asgore' Encrè thought with relife. Eterna had stepped inbetween her and the gang leader. Dr.Lofy was close by, of course.

"SCRAM BEFORE I TELL KING ASGORE ABOUT THIS 'GANG' OF YOURS TERRORIZING INNOCENT CITIZENS!" Eterna barked at the gang. By now, one member was on the floor with a nosebleed, one with a cracked nuckle while the rest were either hiding behind there stoned faced leader or already fleed. The leader signalled for the gang to leave. He showed no expression on his face but was clearly horrified at how easily his group was taken down... by a girl ( go girl power! ).  As they left the leader whisperd something along the lines of "We'll be back, freaks," Eterna obviously heard and was about to pounce when Dr.Lofy began speaking.

"O-oh my, E-Encrè! Are y-you alright!?" Dr.Lofy questioned hurriedly with that usual stutter of hers. "Yeah, you took quite the beating there, bud. Ya sure you don't want me to bring it up with Asgore? He would let me beat the crap out of them without getting in trouble after!" Eterna said through gritted teeth, pounding her fists together. Encrè was currently trying to get Lofy to stop fussing over her. They had given her much worse wounds before. "No, no that's not necessary. Thank you for your concern. But Lofy, please stop. It's just a little scratch, nothing bad-"

She was cut off by Eterna growling. "Nothing bad? NOTHING BAD!? Encrè, if you hadn't noticed, you're a MESS! And you say it's just a SCRATCH?! Encrè, for go-" This time, Dr.Lofy interrupted her, trying to save Encrè's non-existing ears from the flood of inappropriate words and unessesary noise Eterna was about to unleash on them."E-Eterna, p-please be c-careful with what you s-say. Encrè c-could have a v-very serious head i-injury from t-the hits s-she got. B-be quiet," Dr.Lofy asked, almost begged. "Ugh,fine! Anyways, King Asgore was worrying his fluffy buns about you. He got worried since you were late and sent me to get you," Eterna directed at Encrè. The small skeleton was immediately sent into panic. She was a mess, and was about to face THE KING! Eterna obviously saw the panic on her face and chuckled. "Don't worry, he won't care what you look like. Besides, I'll make an excuse up on the way there for ya." You could see Encrè physically relax at her words. "Merci, Eterna, Lofy. I don't know what I'd do without you," Encrè had her little moment in French, but it was a common word so they both understood. Encrè still hadn't fully masterd English yet, but she was trying her best.

After that, the trio began towards the castle, hoping Asgore wasn't too worried.

( I just realized how hard it is to write Lofy's dialog. XD )
