New Faces, New Places

(Frisk's POV)

The world Reset, I was alive again... How? I died, the flowers had consumed me, I was unable to Reset. I opened my eyes and I could see again. I was back in the first room, on that patch of flowers that I had landed on. I was Alive, I did a quick check, I had no flowers on me, non at all. Some how I was completely back to normal. I heard something move in the flowers, I quickly turned around only to see a small monster, only this isn't one that I have seen before. It looked like a tiny dragon, it was no longer than my arm, so about one foot long, it was a purple and black color. I saw that it had it's eyes closed and it looked in pain, I had to help it. "Hello?" I called out gently to it. It stirred before looking at me, but it made no hostile movements. "You look hurt can I help?" It opened it's mouth to talk, but no sound came out, it started to cry before curling into a ball. I was saddened by this, I walked over and started to run my fingers down it's spine. "There, there it will be alright. I guess you could have talked once, but something happened?" it nodded at my question. "Can you be healed?" It looked hesitant at that one. "It can, but it requires something specific?" It nodded again. "Um, this may be rude but are you a girl or a guy? Nod for girl, shake for boy." it-She nodded. "Will you come with me?" In answer she crawled on to my arm before circling my neck, using it to keep herself steady, she looked a lot like a necklace like that actually, she wasn't acting like the normal monsters, so I think that she might be more like Flowey than anyone. I stood up and walked into the next room only to be greeted by an overjoyed Flowey.

"Your Alive! How, It has been a year, a year after you died. Then it Reset!" Flowey was crying in happiness. "Wait, she is coming!" Like normal here came Toriel, this was before I had helped her, so I once again hid in the shadows.

"I heard you shouting about something. What was it about you Weed?" Her voice carried a sinister tone that made the dragon on my neck to shiver, but out of fear or recognition I couldn't tell. From here I could hear Flowey mumble about an annoying insect that he was mad at, nothing more. Toriel bought it like she always did, after she left I came out of my hiding place I made sure that she was gone before talking.

"So I was dead for a year?" I didn't know how to deal with that knowledge.

"Yeah, so what took you so long to get back?" Flowey sounded hurt. "Did you forget about us?"

"No!" I said with such passion that he was taken back. "I couldn't come back, I didn't have the strength to come back after that. I don't know how, but I am glade that I am back."

"Wait, you didn't Reset? No one else fell down after you... was something different when you woke up?" There was confusion in his voice, mixed with worry.

"Well nothing about the world changed, but..." I debated his reaction about my new friend.

"But?" he was worried.

"I meet someone new, they aren't like the other monsters. They didn't try to attack me at all." I explained to him.

"Where is this guy? Did they say anything to you?" He was freaking out.

"First of it is a her, and second she can't talk, she tried and nothing came out. Lastly you are looking right at her."

"What? I can only see you there, is she a ghost?" he calmed down a little bit but not by much.

"Right here," I pointed to my neck, and to the dragon who was looking at Flowey. He gave a startled cry and leaned back.

"Is that a Dragon!?" He was afraid now, great.

"Calm down, it is fine she won't harm you." I looked at her when I said that, and she nodded. "I just thought of it, but I have to call you something... let me think."

"Alright, if you say so," Flowey still looked nervous, "Wait you don't even now it's name? How is that possible, you should have entered a fight with it."

"As I said it didn't want to fight, it was in pain and crying," I needed to be leaving," "I need to get going, so the usual?"

He sighed, "The usual."

We walked down the first rooms, past the dummy and into a few puzzles that Flowey helped with. Then we came to the room with Toriel, she was waiting for us.

"Stop small one! Hello, my child. I am Toriel Caretaker of the Ruins," the same speech, like always, she was trying to act nice. She even called me cute right after that.

"Hey, what's taking so long..." In came Flowey, playing his role. The two looked at each other, Finally Toriel said to come to her house at the end of the Ruins, and that she would explain everything there. After that she left us in peace as we continued on, we soon came into contact with Napstablook. I gave him a sad smile, and I kept on cheering him on even though he was trying to kill me, after listen to him rant about his cousin leaving him, he decided to stop fighting, and I spared him, but as I did the dragon did something, it seemed to eat something, and Napstablook gained an odd look in his eyes before leaving.

"What was that?" I asked her, even though I know I wasn't going to get an answer. She just gave me a look that showed pure innocence. "Don't give me that look, I know you did something." I moved on, going through the traps with practiced ease, it was good to be back, even though they were trying to kill me again. I was happy, I got to see them all again, though I was wondering what she did to Blooky. Soon we arrived at Toriel's house, I hadn't died once yet, but before I could enter, I felt the dragon tug me back, I looked at her to see her pointing towards the monsters of the area. "You want me to fight them?" they shook there head and pointed at herself then back to them, "Oh, you mean you want me to befriend them?" I got a very happy nod at that question, so off I went. As I befrended them I noticed that that kept happening, she was eating something from them, but it didn't harm them, in fact it seemed to calm them down, they started to act a bit nicer, friendlier to me and to each other, but none of them seemed to notice her around my neck. "Can they see you like me and Flowey can?" I got a no, and a few tears. I took a closer look at her, she seemed larger than before. "Hey, are you getting bigger? Maybe because of that thing you're doing?" She nodded and she opened her mouth and a small and crackly noise came from it. "It is helping you?" She smiled and nodded. After that it was time to see Toriel, I walked up and knocked on the door.

Toriel opened the door and gave me a look, it was a mix between desire and the look a predator gives to their prey. "Come on in my child, I have prepared a room for you to stay, why don't you go look take a look, while I make us dinner."

I smiled as I walked in the direction she pointed at, "Okay." I walked into the room and after a few moments realized something, "Can you write?" at my question the dragon nodded, "Okay stay right here, I will be right back." She jumped off of me and onto the bed as I left the room. I quickly went into Toriel's room, grabbing a few blank sheets of paper and a pencil, and walking back to my room with out her knowing. "Back," I saw that my friend had moved over onto the table, waiting for me to bring paper. I placed the stuff down next to her. "So what did you do to them?" She broke the tip of the pencil off before using it to write.

'I took away a bit of there LV, as well as some of their pain.'

"So you made them better?" She nodded.

"Why are you in pain, what happened?"

'I did something that wasn't supposed to be, which led to me being here, and the Reset happening.'

"How do you know what a Reset is?"

'The same way that Sans does. Also I am weak because that act took a lot of my magic, so I am trying to recover.'

"Does the fact that you can some how eat LV help heal you?" I was curious, though I felt I was forgetting something.

'Yeah, just like you eat monster food to heal.'

"How did you know that?" I hadn't had to heal yet.

'You are a human, yes?' oh, they are smarter than I gave them credit for.

"I didn't think about it that way." oh right. "Oh, I almost forgot to ask, What is your name?"

'There it is.' in her eyes I could see humor come in, dulling the pain. 'My name is' they paused for a moment. 'or should I say was Aurora'

"Why do you say was?" I was a bit worried.

'I died, the me you see is just a clump of fragments of me.'

(No one's POV)

"You've been so quiet," a greyscale figure waited in the nothingness. Few features are distinguishable due to it'so hood and scarf. It was so painfully silent.

"How long has it been..? Months..?" the figure fingers at something underneath the scarf that covered up to their nose. It withdraws a glass orb on a chain, removing it from around their neck.

"I'm so selfish..." they start to cry, "So, so selfish. You've experienced so much pain, since long before I was even an idea, yet I want you alive. You are probably happier now. More at p-peace...selfish... I-I miss you!" The figure pulled down their hood, exposing glassy, grey eyes. Twin streams of tears cascading from them.

She looks down at the object in her hands expectingly, as though waiting for a response.

"Aurora, please..." she sobbed, running a thumb over the glass dome's surface. She winced as cracks form along the barrier, holding something in. "You gave me so much...adventure, laughs...color? Please...Oh, I'm so selfish! Selfish! Selfish!" Tears-grey and black-paint her face, dark liquid gushing from her mouth. In all it's grotesque horror, the creature fell to her knees.

"selfish...selfish...selfish..."

"Grey?!"

"Stop."

"I hate grey!"

"Please..."

"What an ugly color!"

"Quit..."

"It was a terrible idea!"

"Be gone!" she lost her temper. The nothingness rumbled around her, so violently, but there was nothing to break.

Nothing but the snow globe in her hands.

It's glass figure trembled it the wake of the void's vibrations, and it shattered. Glass flew this way and that, cutting her face and hands. Grey blood started oozing from the small scratches, but went ignored.

She was too busy mourning over the memory she shattered, not just the young boy inside of it, but the persons who gave it to her.

Grey and black pooled around her. Grey tears, and black bile creating a disgusting mixture. There in the middle, was the one who ruined everything. Her cries echoed across existence. She tried so hard to be colorful, to be whole. She tried so hard to save her friend, to be human again. In the end, she made no attempts to control her emotions. She said she never cried, never hurt, never bled.

Grey, what a beautiful color.

"Grey, what a beautiful lie."
