Saviortale
- Prologue -
The flames of battle have died down, and though the walls were scorched and blackened, the ruins have gone silent once again. Toriel, caretaker to the ruins, had decided to let the human through to the rest of the underground. She stood by the doorway, staring at the child, before beginning to speak in her tender, motherly tone she had always had.
"If you truly wish to leave the RUINS... I will not stop you. However, when you leave... Please do not come back. I hope you understand" she finished, before attempting to hug the human. However, before she could, she paused when she heard an oddly familiar, commanding voice from down the hall.
"I'm afraid I cannot allow that." the voice had echoed on the walls, sounding as if it was said ten times over. After a short pause, the source of the voice stepped forward into the light. A second human, taller than the child, cloaked in a purple robe similar to Toriel's. He was staring at both the child and Toriel with a glare colder than the forests of Snowdin.
"Wh-who are you?" Toriel asked, before seeing the cold intent in his eyes, and stepping in front of the child protectively . "And what do you want with my child?!" She stated, returning his glare.
"Stand down, Toriel. This does not concern you." The taller human said, holding their ground, clearly not intimidated by Toriel's actions. "You likely won't even understand what I need to do anyway. They, however..." He finished, looking down to the child, hiding behind Toriel.
"How do you know my name?" She asked sternly, before continuing, "And I will not ask again, What do you want with my child?!" She then summoned a plume of fire around her, taking a defencive stance.
"I do not wish to fight you, Toriel. We had met once before, but you do not remember. None of the monsters down here do. This whole endever is a very long, very convoluted story that you will likely never understand. That human, however, knows exactly what I am talking about." The human stated, still standing his ground without wavering. "Isn't that right...Chara?"
The child took a step back, suprised. How did this human know these things? About Toriel, about the Resets, about who they were before?
"I know exactly what you have done. What you did countless times before, in countless different timelines. And if I do not intervein, what you will do countless times again. What you did to my freinds. To my family. To my kingdom. To everyone down here."
Toriel had no idea what the human meant by any of this, what he says the child had done, what the meaning of these 'timelines'. Maybe... maybe she was wrong for protecting this child. Maybe this human is right, and she should let him take care of them. She just had to know what's going on.
"My child... What does he mean by this? What... what did you do?" She asked hesitantly, stepping to the side.
The child stayed silent, as they had always done, but had nodded in non-understanding and fear. Or what seemed like fear, at least.
"Feigning ignorance to protect yourself from others learning the truth. Should have figured as much. But you cannot deny what you have done. You killed them all. Over and over, time and time again, you murdered all of them."
Toriel was completely speechless. Could this child really have done all of these things? How could everyone have died if they're all still here? Even after all the explanation this human has given, she still could not understand.
"And for what? Because you were bored? That you thought it was fun? Hell if I know, and honestly, I don't want to know." He paused. "But the one thing I do know...Is that I can't let this continue. So, I guess I should introduce myself after all."
"I am the savior of all monsterkind. The Prophecy of the Rune. The Unanimous leader of the survivors of your rampage.

He paused again.
He then reached into his robe, and pulled out a shortsword from his side and pointed it at the child
"And I won't let you leave this place alive."
