A True Heroine Act 1.
Peaceful was the atmosphere in this day in which everything changed. Children playing, water cascading, tranquility abound from the depths below to the granite ceiling above.
I, a hot headed mistress of battle, sharpened my spear as per usual in my daily routines.
Cold was the steel which my scaly flesh grasped, soon to be warm in the blood of carnage.
Little did I know at the time that this life force, which shall gild my once thought to be only friend, would be cold as the waters in which I would call my final resting place.
With the only comfort being the memories I had of her… my soul mate in white.
Patiently, albeit slightly annoyed, I awaited my cheery pupil's arrival for another lesson in food-craft. 5 eerily quiet minutes passed by the designated time which he should have arrived, if not for the horror which slowly creeped up toward him and his brother. I picked up my phone and texted my darling, informing her that I was seemingly free and all hers for the day.
I held the phone in my grasp as I awaited her usual 5 second reply.
But it never came.
My mind started to run, full of anxiety and tension. I looked towards my golden case which enshrined my platinum armor, I knew things were taking a turn for the worst. But looking back on it, they weren't taking a turn, they were diving nose end into a furnace of despair and misanthropy. I donned my suit and texted my sweetheart 3 words before heading off into the land where earth's tears cascade and chrysanthemums bloom; Waterfall.
Alphys… if you were still alive when I sent my feelings to you, I hope it made you smile as much as I am now.
As the fading light shimmers upon my body, torn asunder.
I walked towards the cause of the screaming, the monsters of this city ran past me as I trudged through the crowds of the tormented. Mothers, fathers, children, pets, none were safe from this invader from the outside. Members of the community from not only Waterfall but also Hotland and Snowdin rushed past me for safety. The shopkeepers, the librarians, the Temsmen, Snowdrake and Woshura alike, nothing was willing to face this evil anymore.
Not even me now that I think about it… For once in my life I was scared, not for myself but for those who I deeply cared about. What would they think if I, the hero they all cheered for and believed in, failed in her duty to protect her kind against the human menace?
No… that was no human which slayed me, it was evil incarnate. Death itself.
The green and yellow death.
Piles of dust were starting to litter the way, nearly dead citizens crawling on their lasts breath, I knew I was getting close to the cataclysm. Thoughts raced through my head with each step that I walked. Despite being a strong, fearsome leader of the royal guard, I still had feelings. Just as leader of Asgore's elite, I had to stay strong through all forms of fear and intimidation. Regardless of knowing this, the wasteland of death around me made my stomach queasy and my razor sharp teeth grind.
But the tears did not fall until the earth's was all around me. Until I knew that this was truly the end of my journey.
Shame that my last few moments on this plane of existence will be showing weakness.
There I saw it, the most horrific site I had ever seen with my eye. The armless child, who looked up to me like a mentor, friend, and role model, cornered by the " human " Their knife drew closer to the child's throat. They could have ended the poor armless one's life at any moment, but the terrified look in his face sated the malefic one's thirst of sadism Their lust for despair. They began to laugh uncontrollably, eyes red with hatred, venom running from the mouth, head tilted to frighten the young monster to the point of comatose. Pushing them closer and closer to the endless pool of water below; to either meet their end by loss of blood or breath.
The vile one then raised it's knife now that it's hunger had been cured. It's hunger for fear.
I knew what had to be done… Without second thought I lunged towards the child, pushing them out of the way, in return being impaled through the heart.
I shouted for the little one to flee as fast as he can and forget about me, for with 1 devastatingly powerful blow, my time was coming to a close.
I gasped for air as I began to cough up blood, the " human " begins to kick me, closer and closer to the watery abyss below. I smile faintly as it seems the armless child has escaped.
I glanced at the abomination and snarled before I finally took the plunge, they laughed in victory as I fell to the depths, becoming one with the waters which all things come from…
I began to reminisce of the past and what the future could have been as I awaited my time to be up.
Act 1.
End.
