Summary: Some feels... Old tears
Chapter 10: History Time
Ebott Ville, Asgore Dremmur Residence, 1 year 7 months after the release of monsters and magic back in the world.
"Well? What is it?" Undyne asked the ex couple as they took seats in the extra large sofas in front of us.
"About older times, old enemies… Of Shadows and Hopes"
"A long time ago, before I was born, my father King Gorem, may his soul rest in peace, used to be Prince Gorem The Adventurous, in his youth he relished in the unknown, action and battle, discoveries and adventure littered his days like echo flowers in Waterfall"
Wow his son is VERY different
**"Change of times Frisk now SHUT UP before I make you"
"One day he went to a deserted cavern, similar to the underground for its depth and complexity, rumor said that no man had yet to return from it. Many were the monsters who wanted to accompany my father in his adventure but he decided to bring just one. His best friend."
**"…" The spirit is becoming uncomfortable.
"He was the son of the Royal Guard of that time… An extraordinary monster of great strength. Macario and my father… they used to go on this kind of expeditions. This one changed everything."
Oh the suspense.
"The cavern had a magical properties, enough to make even humans wander through its maw to never be seen again." Asgore face fell to the countless lives lost.
"The young Macario and Gorem entered the cavern and felt a strange magic, it felt odd and uncomfortable, old and evil. Macario wanted to go back, he tried to make the young prince halt his advance and reconsider the danger, my father didn't listen. And that sealed their destiny."
Chester fell asleep in my lap not giving a damn about what is being said but Eye Bone was listening attentively…
"The two of them wandered for what seemed days and those blended to weeks, time moved differently inside that cave"
"wait, how was that, how did they know." Sans spoke with a strange tone of voice.
"Well you see, humans call it, 'internal clock'. For monsters is a natural attune to day cycles. Monsters born in the underground, such as yourself don´t know about it as well as Toriel, Gerson, Grillbert and myself."
"DO YOU MEAN THAT WE FEEL WHEN DAY TIME AND NIGHT TIME IS?" this topic picked the skeleton interest.
"Yes exactly but more accuretly like… Let me see… We are able to know when is 'dawn', 'morning', 'midday', 'afternoon', 'dusk', 'evening', 'night', 'midnight' and so on and so forth" Asgore explained
"Why is that we ne-never got th-this information at school?" Alphys looked shocked with this new information
"We thought that with imprisonment monster kind would forget, or rather, lose the ability to sense day cycles or how they used to affect us" Toriel said, remorseful.
"OK, ok hold on, how does it affect us?" Undyne interrupted with a stressed shout, history is not her forte.
"Undyne, have you wondered why your magic is unstable during night time in the surface with its peak when in full moon?" Toriel answered with a question
"UGH, yeah… Some crazy sh- things! happen at night but when I´m under the full moon I fell like the strongest monster alive NGAAAAAHHHHHHH"
She barely saved it
**"Oh come on, we are not preschoolers, we know the s word"
"Exactly, your magic is attune at night, maybe your ancestors used to go hunting at night and thus the spike in strength and magic"
"Wow… That´s sooooo cooooool" the fish monster was supper hype.
"Ok, where was I… O yeah…" The goat man cleared his throat and continued "This change in time did not went unnoticed to the two adventurous youths, as I said, and thus made Macario´s worries increase, my father, yet again, did not pay any mind to his friend´s advices."
Young Gorem was a stubborn one huh.
"They kept marching on mazes of sub caves almost always into dead ends and pits of nothingness. Suddenly the atmosphere shifted and the both of them were thrown out of their feet, the torches that they were carrying went out instantly in the damp environment"
"My father remembered being struck with slash like attacks. One, two, three times over and for the screams of his beloved friend he met the same fate. They fought valiantly but unable to grasp the source of the attacks their HP easily lowered."
Like the Grue…!
**"What´s a grue?"
"My father thought that he was going to die, regrets filled his vision as great pain was imprinted in his mind and soul. But then…"
"What!" All the present except for Sans and mom said in unison
"In complete darkness Macario´s voice rang like thunder. He said 'We are sorry we entered your domains Oh powerful one' at this the slashes ended. They huffed and puffed and tried to recover their strength."
"'Sons of monsters!', this new voice addressed the injured monsters. 'What are you doing here, you are not welcome and you shall die for your crimes'"
No….
"'We are sorry' Macario´s voice trembled with fear for his life as he knew very well that the entity´s strength was not something to be trifled with. 'What we have done is wrong and we know it but please let it be just me the one to be punished, my friend…, my friend needs to live, our people needs him.' Macario´s words were filled with fear and resolution. 'And what makes you think that we would let you sacrifice yourself for another, we could take both of you' the shadows responded."
**"He is thinking to…."
"'I surrender willingly, you can do with me, my life and soul, whatever you wish but let him go. One life for one crime' By this time my father was back on his feet and objected 'NO! It was my idea to trespass your territory he has nothing to do with this!' There was silence for a couple of seconds before the next answer came 'The first to offer, the eldest, you are going to make a contract with us' The shadows beings said."
"'Anything as long as Gorem is freed from here and alive'"
"'Very well'"
"At this the entity used a trapping magic on Gorem´s mouth and cut the string of profanities and cursed sent to Macario and the shadows way"
"'We are to take your soul and be drained of what constructs it, your hope, your compassion, your love shall be taken away'"
Oh my god
**"Should we be listening to this?"
Oh is this too much for you? I say sarcastically
**"Of course not you buttface! I speak for you, you still wet your bed!"
Chara! I shout in my mind but the story continues
"'We shall use your life force love, hope and compassion to our liking and then you will become a shadow one just like us' they continued"
All the present flinched.
"'You shall be emptied of any memory and will. Your friend will remain alive and free.'"
"'I agree' Gorem could not believe his furry ears, his friend gave his life away like a discarded rag to save him of their fate."
There is a pause and Asgore grows mournful
"The shadows touched him to seal the contract, he transformed and with the dim bioluminescent bugs that started their daily rituals, my father could see how his friends soul was extracted from him and sucked from any light, he was no longer his childhood friend"
"In the meantime Gorem sat struck by what he saw, or rather by what he was not seeing anymore. Just like that he was all alone and will never see his friend again."
What! I didn´t sign up for a feel trip!
"The last thing he saw was tear tracks in the hollow and soulless creature that once was his friend and a shadowy hand coming to surely end him."
"But alas, that did not happen. And for years he wondered if it would have been better to die a hero´s death like Macario."
Notes: I´m sorry I hate OCs but I had to add them. Take in mind that they will not be THAT important and are part of a sub plot. Again, sorry
