Asriel's whole body shook with sudden cold and fear. So this was what had happened. This was why Chara became the way she was now.

Then Asriel decided he had to do something. He found Frisk and told her what happened.

"Chara? We have to do something!"

"Frisk, why don't we go and look for that iceberg she froze herself in?"

"Oh, Asriel, I don't know…"

"Come on! It'll be safe,"

They paddled into their boat. Asriel teleported them to near Mount Ebott, where he had last and first saw the girl.

Frisk got off the boat and tied it to an abandoned house's mailbox. She squints into the distance.

"Asriel, look! There it is!"

Asriel got off and stared. Yes, it was the girl's iceberg all right. Frisk took out her stick, ready to break the ice.

The iceberg breaks. The girl hops out, and it is the girl- the very girl who distracted the villagers, the very girl who stood up for Asriel, and Chara.

"Oh, hello! You're that goat boy I stood up for ages ago, right?" She gave Asriel and Frisk a wide grin.

Asriel forced a smile and said, "My name's Asriel, actually. Asriel Dreemurr, prince of the monsters. This is my sibling Frisk. And actually… I don't really like being called 'goat boy'. The first day I was in school…" He grimaced. More flashbacks.

HUMAN SCHOOL

ASRIEL APPROACHES THE FRONT OF THE CLASS NERVOUSLY.

The teacher smiled at him. "Okay, settle down, class. This is Asriel Dreemurr, the new student… Asriel, would you mind introducing yourself?"

"Sure thing," Asriel said, but noticed, with an increasing dread, the snickers and whispers that ran around the class as he walked. He saw Frisk next to his seat, giving him a thumbs-up as he grinned back at her.

He cleared his throat and began.

"Uh… hi, everybody. I'm Asriel, the prince of the underground…"

"Hold it, new kid. You live on the surface now. No more chitter-chatter about all that princey of the underground!"

"Yeah, goat boy!" Everybody laughed. Asriel looked to the teacher, at a loss for what to do.

"Okay class, please keep quiet, thank you. Well, that's enough for today. Class dismissed!"

Asriel winced as the pain of the memory hit him. The girl looked concerned. "Are you alright? I'm sorry I called you goat boy. I didn't know…"

"It's all right," Asriel said. "W-who are you?"

"Name's Kinori. I can bend water to my liking. And air, too. I was born to a monster and a human- don't know which two. To save myself from being killed in the war, I froze myself in an iceberg and set it to burst after eleven years. But I panicked the day you and I met, so… The charm was hard to reverse. I've been in here for a long time. Your sibling? The other one? Hate went into her. I may be able to save her. But with your help," she said.

Sorry this chapter is so short. Puleez, I just finished exams. The next one'll be longer- I promise! Oh, and here:
