Aptitude - The 9th Fallen Human

by Candelfox

Asriel, now prince of the underground, is remembering Pat, the soul of perseverance - his favourite human that made contact with the underground. As he visits the ruins to find an ingredient for a sick monster, he hears switches clicking, buttons being pressed... who is it that entered the ruins? Only Asriel should be the one able to enter and exit...

Chapter 1 - Perseverance

Pat was... basically a nerd. For the short amount of time that I knew her, anyone could have figured out she was getting her A** grades at school, she was an EXTREMELY intelligent person. Her hair was straight and brown, about down to the bottom of her back, she was also wearing a uniform, presumably from her human school, and she wore the foggiest, thickest glasses that I had ever seen (saying that, I had never actually seen a pair of glasses before in my life, monsters don't need them).

When her soul was torn out of her body by Undyne, she still continued to fight several minutes after, each swing of her notebook gaining more and more power until it was physically impossible to pursue her battle anymore. Of course, I had only watched from afar; despite her geeky appearance, she was powerful. almost as strong as Frisk. She had injured me greatly when I had 'greeted' her at our first introduction - the entrance of the ruins. Surprisingly, she stayed calm throughout her journey, her gameplay was more neutral than the others. Unlike most of the other humans that fell, Pat stayed with Toriel for many weeks, she was smart, she learned all about monster history from the books, she learned how to do simple magic, and even how to bake butterscotch cinnamon pie. Hastily, she was able to break through the exit of the ruins, and she was the only one able to avoid most of the monsters, Sans, Papyrus, Muffet... the list goes on.

As her soul suggests, she persevered through everything that stood in her way - she would probably have tried breaking the barrier down with her fists if she got to it, and her intellectual abilities allowed her to simply pass through the puzzles with such ease. It was quite a shame Undyne had got her; the trait that she held would have helped me out generously. But hey, this isn't what this story is about, right? This is just an introduction to the story of the 9th fallen human. I know, shocker! Our game was left on a neutral route by Frisk, they only killed Asgore and Toriel, leaving me Prince of the underground. If they ever arrive again, I'll KILL THEM OVER, AND OVER AGAIN. This is it for this chapter, imma see you later.
