An hour passed after the serene moment at the untouched grassland. Aura had a satisfied smile on her face, which caused Frisk to smile as well.

Flowey however, was annoyed at how much time they lost just standing around. "An hour, why?" He seethed at the fact, he could have taken a nap if he really wanted to.

Aura gave him a sharp glare. "What's the rush you weed? You could have actually enjoyed it if you wanted it to." She crossed her arms and stuck her tounge out at him.

Zaryusu sighed and looked at Frisk with curiousity. "Do they always act like this?" He asked as Flowey whispers something rude in Aura's ear, which caused him to be flicked hard by the elf.

Frisk giggled as the two bickered about the meaningless subject. "It's how they expressed their feelings as friends." The human clasped their hands together as if to celebrate. "It's wonderful to see them together as friends now!"

Aura and Flowey glared at the child. "We're not friends!/Please like I would be friends with this pansy elf!" They both shouted causing Frisk to laugh.

The human winked despite their closed eyes. "Well least you both agree on something." They turned to some tall and dry grass. "Hey do you three think they could be best friends!?"

There was silence as Aura drawed her bow and Zaryusu took out his Frost pain. "Frisk, who are you talking to?" Aura asked with her concentration on the grass.

Frisk was confused at her reaction. "Well the goblins, who else am I talking about?" At the mention of the monsters, three goblins with bows stepped out. "Hey guys, how are you doing!?"

Aura stepped out in front of frisk, protecting them from possible goblin fire. "Who are you, are you here to ambush us?" Her tone was ice cold as she pulled back an arrow made of light.

The three goblins dropped their bows and kneeled at them. "Sorry, we're just making sure that our champion was protected!" A goblin cried out, trying to defuse the situation.

She lessened her pull at the goblin's statement. "Champion?"

They all nodded furiously. "Yes, the human champion who killed Os'g with one fatal punch!" One pointed at Frisk while another flexed to demonstrate raw power. "Such power should have respect, even the ogres worship you for such a feat of pure strength!"

Frisk frowned about the worship that was garnered from a kill. "I'm sorry that I killed him, I only wanted to knock him out." They bowed to the goblins, truly sorry for killing Os'g. "Please forgive me..."

Aura frowned beforeing putting away the bow. "The past is past Frisk, don't beat yourself up over it." She gave a curious look over the goblins. "So are you hunting or..." Her tone was rather threatening towards them.

The middle goblin nodded. "Yes, Yes! By champion's decree we are only allowed to hunting foxes or the occansional wild boar!"

Zaryusu just looked on in confusion, Frost pain all but put away. "So, these were the goblins your quest was about? I'm impressed they had followed your commands to this point and so far as well. Usually they only take orders from ogres, yet ogres worship you as well?"

Frisk frowned at the continued mention of the quest. "Yeah...but I just wanted them to stop messing with caravans or whatever." They did however crack a smile at the fact that the goblins had listened to them. "I'm glad you guys kept your word, I'm so proud!"

Aura groaned as she determined the goblins were definitly not a threat. "You're so naive Frisk."

The trio of goblins grinned at their champion's words. "You're not only powerful, but kind as well champion Frisk!" They cheered raising their bows for Frisk.

Frisk blushed from the goblins' praise. "Um...thanks guys?"

Zaryusu gazed at the goblins then at Frisk. "So do you have proof that you pacified the goblins? I doubt the guild will take your word for it."

Color vanished from the human's face. "P-proof, um..."

Zaryusu facepalmed at the novice displayed that contradicted what Frisk was like in the last battle. "I take that as a no, why not bring these goblins along as proof you did your due."

"Finnally some sense in this group." Flowey snarked before getting another flick on the head by Aura. "Arggh!"

"Behave or else..." She ordered which caused Flowey to remain silent. "Good boy."

Frisk chuckled before facing one of the goblins. "Well I think my Lizard friend has the right idea. Why not join us for a spell my goblin friends!"

The goblin trio looked at each other, all three nodded slowly. "For a request from our champion, why not?"

Frisk grinned before they dashed off, incoting the others to do the same. "Then come on slow pokes, hurry up!" They shouted, giggling all the same.

Aura grinned at the challenge. "Oh no way are you going to outpace me Frisk!" The dark elf gave chase with a hearty laughter.

Zaryusu sighed before running after them with the goblin trio. "Hey, I'm the only one who knows the way back!"

Inside the adventurers guils, Momonga was carrying a giant severed head that once belonged to a ballisk. A nasty creature who's scales are as hard a the crystals they devour. He sat the giant head on the counter, a bloody Nabe trailing behind him. "I belive our quest is done." He stated simply as a shiny plate gleamed around his neck.

The quest giver nodded, though inside she was terrfied of the power the black knight dispayed via severed head. "O-of course, adamantite adventuer Momonga." She heaved a hefty bag of silver and gold coins. The bag itself made the surrounding adventurers whistle at such wealth.

Momonga raised his hand, denying such reward. "No thanks, rather I want everone here a drink to such a display and as an apology for those of a faint heart!" There was an uproar of applause and praise from the guild. Nabe gave him a questining look, but can understand his logic. To gain trust of the adventures of the guild in case their valuable information becomes dry and scarce.

The quest giver nodded and pulled the wealthy bag away. "Okay, I'll be sure that happen Momonga." She smield a kind smile, which reminds the undead adventuer of someone.

"Ah yes, has Frisk returned from their quest?" There was a silence and drop in the surronding mood. "What, did I say something wrong?"

The quest giver frowned, unsure of she felt terror or sorrow. "Well, they havn't returned yet. I would assume they have died, but there hasn't been any activity where they were sent. Almost as if the area is a monster dead-zone."

Momonga tlited his head up at the new term. "Monster dead-zone?"

A silver plated adventurer touched his shoulder to draw his attention. Nabe almost cut off his entire arm for that, almost. "You don't know I'm surprised that you don't. A monster dead-zone is what we call an area without threat, like towns but in the wilds. They usually never happen unless somthing or someone terrifies them."

"Like a full grown hydra or an elder lich, that would cause goblins to think twice before popping up!" A copper plate shouted raising a newly filed mug. "So your buddy may be someone's snack right now."

Momonga or rather Ains knew better as he knows where the child is at this point. "I see, tragic for one so young to fall victim to a higher threat."

Nabe spat on the floor, inciting some growls on the more empathetic of the adventures. "Well, then they should have stayed home instead of fighting a more powerful foe like a moran."

Momonga gave Nave a slap on the back of her head. "Nabe, behave yourself. They were but a child, I'm surprised they were even accelted in the frist pl-!?" He was then weakly tackled by a small yet familier form.

"Momonga, long time no see!" Frisk beamed with a smiled up at the black knight. "I had such an adventure and-" They noticed his shiny plate. "Ohh, you must be so famous now."

"Frisk, damn it how are you so fast!?" Nabe and Momonga reconized the voice of Aura as she entered the guild. "I swear tha-!" She saw the two and reconized them at that very second.

"Hey, you two/Champion wait up!" Zaryusu and the goblin trio made it to the guild with wary breaths.

The adventures of the guild paused before drawing out their weapons. "Monsters in the city!"

Before they charged Frisk quickly got in between the humans and monsters. "Wait, they're friendly monsters! Please hear them out!"

There were two tables set aside in the guild. One had all the adventurers and the quest givers in the guild. The other had Frisk, Flowey, Aura, and the rest.

"So you see, that's the what happened on my quest." There was a bunch of skeptosim in the other table. "I'm serious, the goblins and ogre are super friendly now!"

"Champion Frisk is right, we won't hunt human or other people. Just animals and truly nasty monsters." Frisk gave a slight glare at the goblin trio. "If they premit it of course..."

A gold plated adventuer shrugged, still not buying it for one second. "Yeah sure and they really just one punched an ogre to dust."

Aura slammed her group's table with more force then she had intended, causing it to snap. "Are you calling my best friend a liar!?" She tried to be calm, but such an insult to Frisk's pride really pricked her skin. "Every word they tell is the truth, even if it is hard to believe."

Momonga from the other side, raised a mug to them. "Well, what about the vampire?" The dark knight took a swing of the drink. "Even I would doubt such a feat, they are a powerful undead race."

"He does have a point, vampire quests are legendary to obtain because of that reason." the quest giver verified Momonga's statement. "And this lizardman can back up the claim?"

Zaryusu was silent, it was certainly a different place then before. "Yes, but the exact details are hazy. We almost died, thankfully we pulled through."

Momonga nodded tonthe traveler. "Not much room for faith now is there." He looked at the quest giver. "It is clear to me that they completed their original quest."

A gold plated adventuer looked surpried at his decision. "Really, I know the kid's your friend, but do you really belive them?"

Momonga took another drink of his beverage. "It would explain the rapid appreance of the dead-zone, would it not? A pacified monster village that would now only hunt animals would definitely lead to that happening." There were nods of agreement with his logic. "However everything else is most likly false, but the end is what truly matters isn't it?"

"I would accept that Momonga." Frisk agreed flatly, a little ashamed yet happy that no one believed them. "You can go home now you three."

The three goblins wanted to refused and continued to argue about how strong the human was. However Frisk was their champion, so how could they refuse the human's command. "Y-yes champion..." They got up and walked out of the guild with dispointment.

Aura gritted her teeth by the adventuers rudeness and hubris. "You, why, I...arghh!" Yet she could not argue with Momonga's sharp and cold reasoning.

Zaryusu nodded at the knight's decision, it was what he would do in this situation. "I agree with him, despite what I have seen."

Aura looked at the lizardman with anger as the other table dispersed to their usual activities. "I know...but, It's not fair!"

She was patted on the back by Frisk. "Life's not fair, but we must make what we are dealt." They smiled with hope, Aura wished she could do the same. "So let's play it's game and draw in peace!" Frisk's words were so hopeful, much more then what the dark elf deserves to hear.

"Yeah..." Aura smiled, happy that she was lucky enough to be with a friend like Frisk. "Yeah! Let's do it!" Her resolve restored by Frisk's own determination to not give up. "So what if it's one quest!? It's just one stone to the pathway of being recognized!"

Flowey chuckled, silent so he could see how this would all go. "Aww, I thought the pansy elf would give up..." He was flicked by Aura, to happy to even care about his words. "Did you hear me pansy elf!?"

Aura gave an excited smile to her flower friend. "Yeah and you know what, I'm too glad to care about your insults!" She gave the flower a noogie, which he tried to resist her fist. "It's like walking on sunshine!"

Zaryusu laughed at the group's bickering. "Now I can definitly see why you're all best friends." He eyed the counter which was now manned by the quest giver. "If you'll excuse me for a moment.."

As he strolled away, Frisk joined the rough housing. "Okay you two, let me show you how to really wrestle!"

Aura managed to put the two down with strained effort. "Ah ha! Aura wins th-Woah!" Flowey now pined the two, then Frisk, and the cycle then continues.

Nabe watches them from a distance. "How could you betray us for a human worm!?" She cursed under her breath at Aura's treachery.

Momonga from behind could only see them as childern who don't know better. "Frisk is just showing them how to be a child, it will pass like a phase after all. Nazzereck is her one and only home, she will soon realize that."

Nabe grit her teeth, her sword arm twitching. She wanted to evicerate the childern and the flower, but the image of Nabe must remain. "Whatever you say Momonga, for the glory of Nazzereck."

Hey guys, I'm back with a chapter that took a bit of brain power to make it fit. From the goblins to the end, it felt really complcated for me so I went what came naturally. So to me it feels mushed together, so tell me how you guys felt about this chapter.

Also I need your opinion and I feel like no one will enter a poll if I create it so...

Should I show you what's going on with Shalltear's mind next chapter, or just continue with Frisk's group for now?

Thank you, Mysterious Jester is now out!
