Undertale: Alliances
Chapter One: To the Wolves
? – 91Degrees (F)
Orion woke up. There was a stinging pain in their right arm, and it was so hot and sticky...
They got up. They saw a shadow, but it disappeared with a small blue flash. They examined their arm.
They screamed.
The shadow returned, and something felt different. They looked down; there was a blue heart on their chest..?
They whimpered as they were picked up suddenly. This was strange; there was nothing under them, and now not only was there a blue heart on their chest, but there was some sort of bite on their arm. It was still bleeding; you could see some of the bone under the flesh.
Orion passed out.
?'s Hut – 75 Degrees (F)
They woke up to the figure looming over them.
They were on a cot... in some kind of... hut?
It was a tiny hut. There was an oven behind a small partition about two yards away. Next to it was a small desk with papers on it. Next to that was a dresser.
The figure stretched out their right hand. "you should greet your new pal."
The voice sent Orion shivering. It was kind of husky and somewhat raspy.
They had no choice but to shake it. Orion extended his left hand, shaking the figure's.
...Wha..?
The sound of a whoopie cushion being used filled the room. Orion stifled a giggle. "Classic." They stopped when they saw what the figure was.
It was a short and kind of chubby skeleton wearing a blue hoodie. There was a ripped red cape draped over their back and neck. It seemed old.
The skeleton himself seemed almost, if not older, than the cape. "you like my jokes, huh?"
Orion didn't answer. Instead they grabbed the nearest object that could be used as a weapon, which turned out to be a bone.
Everything turned black.
The heart on Orion's chest was now a light, silvery-lavender color. The skeleton backed up. Everything was normal again. "woah there, pal. don't wanna cause any trouble. you don't want to have a bad time now, do you?"
Orion calmed down, putting the bone down.
"name's sans. and you are?"
"How can I trust you?"
"i'm the one that wrapped up that wolf bite."
"..."
"well?"
"Orion. My name is Orion."
"good. thank you for trusting me, kid."
They got up, looking at a photo. "Who are those people?"
"oh, them. that fish lady's name is undyne. she was the head of the royal guard. that other skeleton, his name is papyrus. he's my bro."
"Is that red thing his?"
"yep."
"Cool. Where is he now?"
"somewhere rather bonely." Sans chuckled.
"Heheh... very funny..." they winced at the pun. "Well, I think I should go now. Goodbye!"
They scrambled out the door, going down to the path. Orion knew a very important place. It was sacred, but they had to go there. Had to.
Before running, they took one last look at Sans, whose pupils had disappeared. He was still smiling, giving off an eerie aura. His left eye flashed blue before he vanished.
Orion then looked up at the mountains, which were behind them.
The wind blew, and the chorus of howling from wolves echoed across the silent valley, which was bathed in the vivid colors of a sun drowning in the horizon, its rays glimmering in the soon-to-be darkness, reflected in the pure waters of the ocean ahead.
Orion's heart was thumping against their chest, and their Soul was strong now. They could feel it.
They were filled with courage.
