Ains' jaw dropped at the mid-transformation of the flower monster. It would definitely be a challenge for Aura should she somehow fail her task. "Still, that monster is definitely more powerful then that dominion authority. Could it be possible that this child is from Yggdrasil? No, that's not possible, otherwise they would have recognized my name the instant they heard it." Ains raised his boney hand. "Message, Mare." It was a simple communication spell, but extremly helpful in a complex place like Nassereck.

"L-Lord Ains, how are you doing?" The timid little brother of Aura responded. "Is this about Hamsuke? He's doing fine, training with the death knight-"

"This is not about that, Mare." Mare was now silent, ashamed to have assumed anything with his lord. "I need you to research the plant monsters from Yggdrasil, it's urgent." Ains closed the spell before the obvious comfirmation left Mare's lips.

Ains rubbed his bone temples in annoyance. "They definintly aren't of this world if they have a summon greater then what the theocracy's secret weapon was." He strained to say weapon due to what little harm it had caused him. "I wonder how powerful the human must be to tame such a thing." Ains chuckled to himself and stood up, turning off the scrying spell. "It seams we will meet each other sooner then we thought, Frisk." Ains laughed menacingly then stopped, thinking it was less then it was supposed to be. "I need to practice my laugh, maybe my wave too." He did a wave, and immediately felt embarrassed. "Yes, definitely need to practice first."


Frisk realized they were being followed by someone. hard not to notice since that had happened to them so many times in the underground. Actually they just asked Chara to check if there is someone following them and found a dark elf tomboy stalking them. Props to having a ghost for a best friend, but now how to deal with the stalking elf? Chara recommended to just killing her and be done with it, of course Frisk would refuse that choice.

So, they would substitute their own choice and be friends with the dark elf girl. With a quick and smooth turn, Frisk left Aura's field of vision behind a random allyway wall.

As Frisk predicted, Aura tried to recticfiy this problem only for her to be-

"Friendship tackle!" Aura was too surprised by the sudden maneuver and felt the full brunt of it. However; that did not mean she could not counter it with a rebound kick that sent Frisk to a wall behind them. "Oww!"

Aura, too engaged in a sense of the ambush, got ready for a fight. "So, you found me out. So pre-"

"That hurt..." Aura silently deadpanned as Frisk rubbed their head in pain. "...just give me a second." Frisk then wiped the blood off their forehead, wincing from the pain as they did. "Okay, so why are you following me? Did you want to be friends with me, I would?" Frisk smiled at Aura. "Want to be friends."

Aura sweatdropped, this was just plain weird for her. "You want to be friends with someone that you just tackled, out of nowhere? You are a very strange kid."

"Yeah, tell me about it." Aura whipped her head back to find the buttercup flower behind her. "They have that charm, it's ridiculus how much it annoys me as it does." His face melted into his more demon one causing Aura to get ready for his trasnformation. "But, not even as close when they are hurt by a-!"

"Flowey..." Frisk warned as his anger started to rise. "It was an accident on my part. So calm down or no sweets for you." Flowey gave a shocked expression before restraining his anger. "Sorry about him, my name is Frisk Dreemur. What is your name?" They extended their hand in friendship, blood stains still on the silly armor. "Oh, sorry my bad." Frisk chuckled before reaching with the other hand.

Aura smiled at Frisk for the convenience. at least she can spy on them in a close distance without alarm or suspicion. Aura took Frisk's hand of friendship with a firm grip. "My name is Aura, but do you always tackle people for a hello?" She joked getting a laugh out of them.

"No, but it does grab the attention of someone." Frisk chuckled as flowey groaned. "Oh, this is Flowey, he can be a jerk sometimes."

"Hey!"

"But, he means well even if it's misguided." Frisk smiled as Chara got a little chuckle out of it. "Well, I have to go do this..." Frisk pulled out the quest parchment, thankfully undamaged from the tackle. "Hopefully, the ogres will listen to reason rather then violence."

"Doubt it..." Chara mutters as a slightly murderous glare filled their eyes.

"Ogres?" Aura asked with a slight grin. "Do you need help with that? Ogres are dumber then a bag of rocks, but they hit as hard as a boulder." If Frisk was powerful then they wouldn't need her help, but it was to help Aura with her own mission.

Frisk smiled while Flowey frowned. "Yes, friends make the journey better!"

"Two's a company, three's a crowd Frisk." Flowey quoted, which Chara silently sobs to. "She's going to hamper us, no way is she coming!"

Frisk smiled mischievously at him. "Oh, in that case would you like to go back to the in-"

"It such a nice day for a couple friends, why not bring some along!" He automaticlly responded in terror, which also made Aura wary of Frisk.

"That settles it then, come on Aura!" Frisk swiftly grabbed Aura's gloved hand just as flowey latched onto Frisk's left shoulder. "Friendship and adventure lies at the end of this trail so let's hurry!" With a swift pull, Frisk dragged the elf along on their quest.


It was an boring hour long trek to the destination, Frisk kept getting lost in the open plains. Thankfully however, the party found corpses of a couple of orcs and goblins near a dense forest.

"Such a painful sadness, the loss of life." Frisk quoted which surprised Aura how empatetic they are to ruthless monsters like ogres and goblins. "Conflict can be resolved by words no matter how different." Frisk opened a portal, pulled out the brave glove, and wore it over the Temmie armor. "Hopefully that remains true today."

"Do you really hate fighting monsters? Most humans I know would jump at the chance to slaughter them." True she knew a lot of humans, but they were buried six feet under as soon as they tried. "I even heard from a tavern that elves and other non-human's that don't get the sword are used as slaves, do you view me as one?"

"Why do you even ask that? Yes, I hate killing or even hurting monsters! But as for you, you're my friend Aura so of course I don't veiw you as a slave or a servant and the thought of that just sickens me." Aura smiled at Frisk for the answer. "Slavery as an idea is just an evil system of suspiscion and pain, It's the work of megalomaniacs amd tyrants." Aura swore her heart skip a beat from the addition to what Frisk thought on the topic. Frisk certainly was diffrent then the other humans if their actions can vouch for them.

"Well said." Aura simply put as she scanned for the ogres that could be alive, sadly all were brutally slaughter and maimed. "This is most likely a small squad and not their entire force. For their speed all I can say by the pace of their prints that they traveled slow."

"She's good." Frisk mearly nodded with Chara's complement.

"Also by the lack of waterskins and rations they had, they were only moving for about a few minutes or so; give or take." She pointed perpendicular with the prints that lead into the forest. "We follow the shallow prints for a little bit and we will find a small band of ogres and/or goblins resting in their camp."

Flowey and Frisk's jaw hit the dirt floor in amazement. "All that from a massacure?"

Aura shrugged and took a bow. "I would be ashamed as a tracker if I didn't." She looked up and was again surprised by another friendship tackle. It wasn't powerful enough for her to fall on the muddy ground, making it more of a hug. "Seriously, stop that."

"That is amazing, Aura! With that we won't be lost in the woods for who knows how long!?" Frisk praised as they hugged Aura, who was slightly blushing by the child's praise.

"Eh, I could do it too.." Flowey mutter as Aura let the hug continue.

"I think you should save the complements for the ogres." Aura really should not get attached to a human of all things. It was starting to get weird that she felt something other then a condecending disdain for humans.

Frisk removed the hug and nodded. "Yeah, let's go and make friends!" They cheered as they dragged Aura along with them.


The encampment was in disarray, with most of their army still missing from their expedition. The chieftian or rather an impromptu leader at this point, struggled for order and power. The many goblins and few ogres that stayed behind were in an uproar. It wouldn't be long before the demon snake of the east and the giant of the west would target them.

"What do we do!?" Yelled one goblin inciting many more to ask the same.

"We smash em'!" Retorted a huge ogre which made the other ogres do a battle cry

"Even the giant of the west!?" Questioned another goblin who wore leather armor.

"Erm...I dunno?" Was the ogre's answer which cause the encampment to go wild with terror.

"Enough!" The goblin leader ordered causing a massive silence. "Panicking will get us nowhere, so stop!" They remained silent as the ambient sounds of the woods stirred thier anxiety. "We can't go back to the main village, it's most likely overrun and burned by the giant's men." The mutterings of surrender were whispered among the goblins soldiers. "Surrender is no longer an option, what would the giant and the demon snake have for a few measly goblins and ogres!?"

"..." There was only despair and hopelessness on the goblins faces. "Flee?"

The leader sighed as if he already resigned his fate. "To where, to the disgusting humans? Face it, my fellow goblins and ogres, the only way out is to fight until our dying breath!"

They all mumbled to themselves, the idea of mutiny rolled around the group.


Frisk, Aura, and Flowey made it to the encampment not even fifteen minutes from where they started. The monsters were disorginized, by what they had not a single clue besides the slaughter from before.

"Flowey, can you easedrop on them? It kinda looks like their gathering for something." Frisk asked before Aura tapped their shoulder, pausing the favor.

"I could do it, this is my kind of environment. They won't even know I'm there."

"Hell no!" Flowey whispered with a lid on his usually loud voice. "I don't like this idea Frisk. I should spy on them because I'm a fucking flower for pete sake! Why would they take notice a trivial thing like that in a forest?"

"You're not the type of flower that is typically found in a dark and thick forest, goldi." Aura retorted causing Flowey to vent by biting his lips in anger.

"Flowey, It's fine that's she helps. If I don't trust her then what kind of friend would I be?" Flowey was about to retort before taking on a strained silence. "Thank you, Flowey."

"Mmmm!" He did not take it well, forcing himself not to murder Frisk in a form of anger management.

"Aura, be safe. If an awful fight occurs, we'll help you out." Frisk and Aura exchanged looks between the cloudy glasses and muticolor eyes.

"I will, it's not my first time doing this, trust me." She affirmed as she dived between the bushes.

"I know." Frisk took a glance at an approching Chara, who did the recon beforehand. "I trust you."

"The situation is bad, Frisk." Frisk slowly nodded for the report. "Well the thing is.."


Aura spied on the goblin encampment from the treeline. It was actually starting to break into the first stages of rebellion, then Frisk's original plan for peace would fall apart. Aura was conflicted on what to do, Demi-urge made it clear that the human could possibly see through her lies. If she was 'accidentally' spotted or is too late to report and a fight breaks out she can affirm Frisk's fighting capabilities. If she tells Frisk to make peace, would they be successful? Goblins and ogres are stubborn as a mule with a stick in it's ass, so it would be impressive if they did.

"Hey, watch where you going'!" An ogre bumped into another one, starting a short brawl between them.

Aura bit her cheek, best see if Frisk could make peace. If they fail then Aura can find out how strong they are. She vanished behind the trees just as a goblin drew close.


"And that the situation, they will fight because of the fear and pressure of an unknown foe." Chara finished explaining to a silent Frisk, waiting for Aura to come back. "I'm with Flowey, she is what people would say too good to be true."

Frisk gave an irritated stared as a respone to Chara's stated quote. "Come back, please." Frisk tapped the ground with their fingertips, suspense building in their heart.

"I bet she ran off like the coward she is. You don't have to have everyone be your friend, you idiot." Flowey spat to where Frisk was tapping, causing them to stop. "That will dirty your armor and do you know how hard it is to get dried mud and dirt off!? I swear you need me just to make sure you don't fall off a cliff." Flowey joked in his own way, trying to teach Frisk a lesson.

Then there was a rustling in the foliage, but only a bunny jumped out instead of Aura. Frisk slumped thinking she might have abandoned them.

"Hey there!" Aura was behind them the whole time, which cause them to fall over. "Payback's a pain, isn't it?" Aura laughed as well as a surprised Frisk. "Well, the goblins and the ogres will rebel sooner rather then later. When they do it will be a massive bloodbath, are you sure you can do this?"

Frisk nodded and stood up, determination behind the cloudy glasses. "I can do this, if not I'll die trying." They dashed to the encampment with an absolute conviction for peace.

"Oh, like hell I will let that happen to you, moron!" Flowey yelled and burrowed into the dirt.

Aura laughed at the rising development and peered into the afternoon sky. "I wonder if lord Ains is watching us now?"


In the scrying room Ains was repeatably waving his skeletal hand to the side. "Hush now! No, it's too formal." He waved again. "Be quiet fools! No, too forceful and tyrannical." And again and again. "This is going to take a lot longer then I thought, maybe I should ask Demi-urge for assistance."


Aura smiled because of course he would be watching this important mission and she would not let him down. Aura dashed through to the encampment where Frisk and Flowey were face to face with the goblin leader. He was short and stubby with a long beard and wrinkeled eyes.

"So, you want an alliance, Human child?" The entirety of the camp laughed at this, except the leader of course. "Quiet down and listen!" They stop laughing and the leader waved his hand. "You caught us in a bad time so we won't eat you, but an alliance is little more then a joke, weak human child."

Frisk stood their ground and defied the camp leader. "What if I prove my strength, would that secure a peaceful friendship?" Everyone in the camp laughed at that proposal.

"Fine, yes it would." The leader had enough of this mockery. "Defeat Os'g the undertaker and we will agree." The encampment was silent as they whisperd the name of Os'g and his brutality.

Frisk nodded as Flowey burrowed into the ground. "I accept, bring him on!" Loud thuds and the ground shaking awnser the call of battle.

"That's one large ogre." Aura commented as the Os'g was two times the size of a normal ogre. "Or is it a giant?"

Os'g let out a roar that rumbled the earth. "I eat you now!" The dumb and large Os'g stomped towards Frisk.

Frisk opened their eyes, now a dull crimson red. "Okay, then here's my reply." Chara, now possessing Frisk, jumped and reeled their gloved hand back, which now glowed a bright red. "Goodbye." They threw their fist which struck Os'g's fat belly. A huge shockwave was emmitted from their fist as Os'g dry heaved and his eyes go white from the intense blow. When Os'g crash landed he caused a minor quake on the encampment.

Chara landed on Os'g's belly and they check for his pulse. There was no pulse, he was dead from the sudden shock of the blow. They fumbled backwards from the new devlopment. A single black tear fell onto Os'g's face. "He...is dead, shit, I'm so sorry." They muttered as Frisk took back control of the body.

Frisk saw that all the ogres and goblins were bowing down, even the leader. "All hail the human!" They were terrified, afraid that what happened to Os'g would happen to them if they don't submit to the human.

"N-No, I killed this ogre...I.." They had a lingering thought of how much EXP Os'g was worth and it terrified them. "I thought you held back, Chara." Because of the cheering of the submissive monsters only Chara could hear them.

"I did, that's why we agreed on using the brave glove! The glasses should have negated the attack boost from it as well! I don't know what happened!"

"What is your level, is it still twenty?"

"I checked and it was reset to 1, but now it's 4!" There was panic in their voice. "I guess it makes sense because we ran out of monsters to kill in genocide and in this mutiverse they're endless and more powerful!" Chara was hyperventilating because of the dire situation. "But I could't have possibly killed him in one hit unless...my power is still active in this place. My corruption curse that ebbs away at a soul of a monster, unless they have enough conviction and pain tolerance to handle the pain like Undyne the Undying! Fuck me why didn't I consider that, Frisk I'm so sorry!" Chara was breaking down as Aura came to congradulate them on the one hit kill.

"Wow, that was very impressive! I thought for sure he was going to crush you!" Aura patted Frisk on the back, but soon felt their grief. "You alright there, buddy?"

Frisk simply walked past Aura and towards the leader of the camp. "You will not fight and pilliage innocent life, you will only hunt animals, and you will contact me should anything happen." Aura saw the bright crimson red eyes and thought Frisk was a vampire for a second. "Should you break those rules, don't." Aura was surprised in the 180 in Frisk's personality when they barked that order.

"Y-Yes, we will follow that to the best of our abilites, but-" The leader flinched when he saw the red eyes. "The demon snake in the east and the giant of the west will destroy us all if we-!" He stopped when Frisk(?) was close enough to breath down his neck.

"Then ask for help because I have some important things to...figure out." The defeat in their voice felt strangly painful to Aura, yet she does not know why. "Flowey..."

The buttercup emerged from the ground. "Frisk, did you finish ye-" He saw the giant ogre's corpse. "Oh, Frisk come on you know it was you or-"

"My name is Chara! Azzy, why don't you remember who I am? Please remember Azzy. I feel cold, so cold and in so much pain." Flowey mearly shook his head, clearly having no idea who Chara was. "Then I will be going, somewhere, anywhere but here. Aura, I have a favor to ask if you truly are my friend." Aura stayed silent, unsure of what to say to them. "I want you to take Az-Flowey, to your home. I don't think we'll be back for a while." Chara removed the cloudy glasses and Aura saw the change in their eyes.

They were completly black with only the red irirs being the only color within. "Okay, I will." It was just broken words coming out of Aura's mouth, unsure if she would actually keep them.

Chara smiled and cried black tears and when those tears hit the ground, the dirt became infertile. "Thank you Aura, I mean it from the bottom of my soulless heart." Chara opened the inventory portal and pull out a knife and an empty gun. "I have no idea when Frisk will come back, so run from this curse of determination; please." Chara started to wince in pain as the black tears start covering their entire body. "ARGH!" Chara then dashed further into the woods, leaving nothing but a trail of dead foliage in their wake.

Aura, Flowey, and the entire camp was in dead silence. Flowey was about to burrow after them, but Aura plucked him before he had a chance. "Let me go you elf bastard! Frisk needs me, I'm the only one that can bring them back so let me go!" Flowey stopped as soon he saw the mixed emotions inside her. "Did you even care about them in the first place?" She looked away from him and to the dying life that Chara made. "Lier, defiler, and betrayer, sounds about right on how to describe you?"

"No, I'm not a lier." She looked down and sighed. "True, my loyalty is always to my lord Ains, but when talking about Frisk." She sadly smiled as a single hidden tear fell from her face. "They're possibly the only human I'll ever understand and truly could consider a friend." Aura started to walk deeper into the forest, away from the dead plant life. "I hope lord Ains welcomes you, I really do." She sighed and considered her mission a complete failure.

"Who the fuck is Ains, he sounds annoying like an old lady." He snarked as he grew further from his human friend.

"You take that back you weed!" Aura commanded with fury in her multicolored eyes.

"Make me...Shelf elf" He prodeded at Aura making her smirk with anger.

"Okay..." She simply promised the annoying weed. "I'm sure I can."


In the scrying room, Ains was still practicing his waving. "Silence!" He paused then clapped in the empty room. "This is the perfect wave and word, royal, but not hubris!" He waved again, once again pleased with this. "Oh, how long was I practicing? Message Demi-urge."

"Yes, lord Ains how may I assist you?"

"Prepare the plans for the small test at lizardman swamp. It will come soon."

"As you say, my lord Ains."

Ains waved again. "Silence!" There was a pause of satisfaction for the undead.

"What a royal statment worthy of you, my lord Ains!" Demi-urge praised as Ains' jaw was left open.

"Y-Yes it was, thanks for your opinion Demi-urge." He forgot to close the message spell, how embarrassing. "Now do as I instructed."

"Right away, my lord."


Hey guy, how're you doing, good? Great, since I did not expect this to be noticed by now! Like a piece of homework that you think the teacher would just graze over, but takes notice of it instead. Anyway tell me what you guys think of it, Mysterious jester out!

Also in terms of power scaling for the two lovely reviewer, you just have to wait and find out.
