* Underground has been brought to peace. Using the powers of Love, and Determination, you showed the monsters of the Dreemurr Empire,
* that they didn't need to kill anyone to find happiness. They just needed to make a good friend. You get an odd feeling to go back to Alphys's lab.
* It's compulsory. You find yourself in the black and red laboratory, while Alphys is out on a date with Undyne.
* The brief reminder that you are the only reason those two are together fills you with the warmth of Determination.
* As you sift through Alphys's belongings, you find a journal. It's old, and a little bit dusty. But it appears to be well kept.
* You begin to read.

I've decided to take up writing a journal. King Asgore Rallied a speech today, telling the monsters of the Empire, that this would finally be the year we see the surface. This year, we would break the barrier, and be free. We'd finally attain the last human soul, and we'd finally conquer the surface. And so, I thought, what an excellent time to document our newest chapter in history! I'm excited. Hell, we're all excited! Fufufu!

We, monsterkind, will finally get the chance to attain vengeance on the humans, for locking us down here!

I suppose, it'd be good to give some context, wouldn't it? After all, what if some non-monster were to read this journal someday? Fufufu. It's important that you know the events that brought to your downfall, Fufufu!

Once upon a time, Humans and Monsters lived in relative peace on the surface. I say relative, because Humans and Monsters were just… too different… to completely get along. All the Humans looked alike, whereas us Monsters were so diverse, and unique. But, we tried to get along. Beauty is only skin deep.

That was, until Humans found out that Monsters could take Human souls. But Humans couldn't take Monster souls.

Nevermind that we, monsters, lack the physical makeup that Humans have. Without the power of magic, we're dust in the wind. But Humans? I've read they're solid. Made of a variety of chemicals, and physical compounds. This Human Anatomy book I found is really cool, and gives me all kinds of insight to Human weaknesses. I definitely intend to put it to use if I ever see a human! Fufufu!

So, the humans, in fear that we monsters would take their souls, and become more powerful than they ever imagined, waged a war against us, and trapped us underground, to suffer forever. King Asgore vowed that we'd get back to the surface one day.

Maybe, about 1000 years ago, he gave up on that goal. He adopted some human child, as his child. Was he trying to make peace? Create an ambassador, to send to the surface, so the humans could be negotiated with, to take our barrier down? I don't know. But the child got sick, and died, and Asriel, the king's son, took the child's body to the surface. And the humans killed Asriel.

Asgore reinstated war, and the deaths of all human children that came down, and our queen disappeared.

That's all history. From before I was born. Since then, Asgore has collected 6 human souls. It's been roughly 20 years since the last human came down. And by our Royal Scientist, ✌💧❄ 's calculations, the next human will show up sometime this year.

Asgore has brought all of us, his children, up to hate humans. And rightly so! Those demons deserve to burn in the fires of Hotland, for everything they did to us! I'm so glad it'll happen in my lifetime.

* The writing of the first entry ends here. For some reason, the name of the previous Royal Scientist appears unreadable.
* Just as you begin to comprehend what the text may mean, it shifts, and becomes something else. You cannot wrap your mind around it.
* It's like staring into the void, and having the void stare back.
* For now, you take the journal with you, knowing Alphys won't mind.
