Herotale
N.A: This is the first fanfic that I´ve written completely in English. I hope it doesn´t have so many grammatical errors, that will be a shame for me (because I´m studying to become an English teacher). So if there´s any problem or misunderstanding while you´re reading, please tell me so and I will do my best to avoid repeating my mistakes! I don´t know if this kind of ¨alternative universe¨ was made already by the fandom of Undertale, but it was an idea that couldn´t escape from my mind so easily, so here I am writing it! Soon I will return to school, so I probably will not have the opportunity to update this story as fast as I do with my Spanish ones, but I´ll try to do it as soon as possible. Without anything else to say, I hope you enjoy your reading. See you!
Prologue:
¨A miracle that fell from the sky¨
Once upon a time, there were two kinds of creatures sharing the lands of a great kingdom: humans…and monsters. Although their physical differences, monsters and humans were in well states and tried to live together peacefully, but one day...all of a sudden…and without a real reason…a war began. Humans and monsters fought and killed each other without mercy, being possessed by an increasing and rare rage that none knows where it came from. After many years of war, humans ¨won¨ by trapping all the monsters into an empty place named: The Underground. They were trapped down there by a strong magic barrier, made by the best magicians of the human kingdom, so it could not be easily broken by the normal spells or magic of the monsters although of their power. Finally, the human lands were only for them.
Trapped in the ¨lands¨ of the Underground, monsters started to get desperate, wishing no more than being able to see the real sky, sun and starts again. Each year that passed away, monsters became more desperate to return to its original homelands in the surface and then…everything started to change. Some monsters (including the King) decided to do something to gain back the freedom that they once lost, using the power of souls, in other words: the magic of life itself. Monsters are indeed powerful creatures made by magic and with great abilities to use it, but the barrier made by the humans it could only be broken by using the power of various human´s souls…and a monster´s soul. Although the difficulty of this idea, nowadays, its plans are almost completed.
But…what happens with the other monsters? Well, they found a way of staying with hope. A prophecy well known between them became the center of its hope. Transforming the words of the story, the prophecy became like a bedtime tale to tell to every child, so they could dream and be relieved by the thought that one day a hero will fall down from the sky to save them all from its suffer and misery. With that, the ancient tales of heroes, knights, princesses, demons, warriors, magicians and forbidden curses, became a part of the own monsters, filling its world with a piece of pure and sweet fantasies. It may look pointless but…that was the only way they have found to encourage their meaningless lives down there. Even if the prophecy was just only a joke, dream or crazy fantasy that may never happen, it was the best for them to trust on it, at least a little, so they could hope for a better future. The thing that they will not admit, is that even themselves don´t know if what will fall next from the sky, will be truly a hero…or a villain.
There have passed so many years since the monsters were trapped in the Underground that their existence became almost a legend in the surface. The place where they ¨reside¨ is now known between the humans as a mysterious and forbidden place, where whoever dares to put a foot in... will surely not see the light of the sun again. That is indeed a terrifying thought, at least, for most of the humans, but not for all of them.
Guided by the curiosity and innocence of her youth, a tiny and lovely human girl fell down from the surface to the Underground at trying of climb the mystical Mt. Ebbot. She could have died from the fall, but seems that her ¨destiny¨ it was not that, because she surprisingly survived and fall into a little field of beautiful yellow flowers. Will be this cute and little girl that fell from the sky…truly a miracle of heavens? Will she become the main character of a hero tale that monsters one day will tell? Only she can decide her path in the story that her heart and soul will write, but nothing shall begin, until she open her eyes once again.
