Previously: Deos, the Red Mage was asleep at the desk of his apartment and was woken up by Cali, the Purple Mage (or Witch, it depends on how she feels) they then proceeded to work on a device that they've been working on for a purpose that they didn't mention openly, then after she was done, she left, but not before she mentioned a missing child, Deos checked the missing persons page and recognise the child that was missing from a large series of visions that he had received after a ritual gone wrong...

(Deos' Apartment)

After the revelation that he had from what he saw on the missing persons page, he at least now knew the name of that child: Frisk...if what he saw, in all their variations was true, then it's only a matter of time before someone is forced into a desperate act, whether it be one or the other, it makes little difference at that point. All he knew was that he had to get there before that point, there wasn't enough time to gather the others and talk about it, he had to go there himself, but he knew that many of the monsters would want him dead for his soul as well as Frisk, so to make his movement easier, he'll need to make a few preparations before leaving his apartment and catching up with Frisk...

He then dresses in a red cloak with matching gloves and boots with a red featureless mask which he could see out of, but none could see into. He looked at himself as he also equipped himself with a utility belt that would not look out of place on a comic book superhero, it already had everything in place for the journey into the underground.

"Let's see...I think that's everything, we were planning this for some time, but circumstance have force a modification to our plan. Only one thing left for me to do." He took out his cell phone and reached the answering survive, he patiently waited for the beep and then talked quickly "Cali, I'm sorry that I'm abrupt, but that child in my visions, it's that missing child that you talked about before you left, he's there NOW! By the time you hear this, I'll already be there, I have our 'little project' and what we need to make it work, in locker 21 is a spare key to my apartment, use it to get in and search for the folder marked "DT-Contingency", it'll explain most, if not all of what you need to know".

Satisfied with tying up all loose ends, including the rent for his apartment, he walked to a part of his apartment that wasn't within view of a window and concentrated his magic and focused on the hole that Frisk and the others fell down previously, he then disappeared from his apartment...

(Mt Ebott)

Near the hole that was the main entrance into the underground, Deos appeared as if he came out from the air itself, he looked down at the darkness below and sighed "Well, if it turns out that this device doesn't work, there's a good possibility that I'll be stuck down here..." Then his determination strengthened when he remembered "No, remember what Simone said 'Sometimes you gotta stop worryin' and start walkin' in the direction that you want, you're the determined one, aren't ya? Why not use it?!' He laughed slightly at this memory, Simone was certainly a brave one, even inspiring that in others, she's someone who breaks the gym teacher stereotype, so he decided not to linger anymore and jump down into the underground.

He used his magic to slow his descent and briefly felt the barrier as he fell through it, no turning back now...as he landed safely on a small patch of yellow flowers, he thought about Cali, she is going to be p****d when she finds out, one or two of the others might be as well, but it's necessary. He then touched the flowers under his feet and suddenly felt a vision through the eyes of a child...

(Vision)

This child was slowly climbing up to where he just was, not tired by any means, as this child seemed like they were in no hurry to go anywhere but up this mountain, they looked down that hole and said "So those that climb this mountain, they never come back? Good! Goodbye humans and good riddance!" They jumped down the hole and since they lacked magic to slow their fall and hurt themselves, as they struggled to get up, they heard another voice "Oh! You've fallen down, haven't you...Are you okay?" They looked up and saw a bipedal goat kid with a green shirt with long sleeves and yellow stripes and black pants.

(The Ruins)

Deos snapped back to reality "So that was Asriel Dreemurr...then that child was probably the first human that had ever fallen into the underground." He knew some of the story from his inside source, as well as one other...but to see him through the eyes of another. He knew that he had to rush to where Frisk is likely to be and hoped that he wasn't too late, thanks to his foreknowledge (as it turned out to be) he quickly got past the puzzles and traps that was in the ruins in case the humans decided to finish what they started. This was likely built quickly before the barrier was established, which is why it was never put to the test, the monsters of the ruins ignored him as for all they knew, he was just another monster. He paused to catch his breath within sight of what was called "Home" by the unimaginative monster King, Asgore Dreemurr. "Please be there, Frisk..." he said with hope and then he continued to run inside what was the home of the former monster Queen Toriel for...quite some time and overheard the voice of a child, this was a relief to Deos as that means he's right on time.

"How do I exit the Ruins?" Frisk said, Deos positioned himself at the stairwell as he knew what was coming next.

"I have to do something. Stay here" She said nervously and as she reach the stairwell, she saw an unfamiliar red cloaked and masked individual that she's never met before. "Who...".

"I am Deos, we need to talk Toriel..." He sees Frisk peeking out of the corner "Bring Frisk too, this is something that involves both of you."

"I know not who you are, but please get out of the way, I need to go something!" There was a hint of annoyance in her voice, partly due to his scarlet clad obstruction in front of her.

His tone of voice changed to one of disgust "You intend to blow up the only way into the rest of the underground to prevent Frisk from leaving, you were even willing to hurt that child to scare them into staying with you, there's a word for that: kidnapping! You DARE to claim the moral high ground over the others...including HIM."

The last sentence especially provoked anger in her and her paws were now in flames in reaction to this "DON'T COMPARE ME TO HIM! MOVE! NOW!" Deos then clenches his left hand and a white glow appears on it, which puts out the fire on her paws, much to her surprise.

"Now, shall we have that discussion or do you want to be physically violent in front of a child?" Deos said in a tone of caution, he knows what motivates Toriel and what lines she won't cross, although that required some help from the others.

She closed her eyes and briefly bowed her head. "I am sorry, I should've thought about my child, let us talk..." she walked into the living room and Frisk sounded relieved because Toriel wasn't going to fight and was confused by this newcomer, how did he know what Toriel was going to do? Toriel started the talk between them "Let us start with who you are, it is clear that you conceal yourself for a reason.", he takes off his mask and it didn't surprise her as much as he suspected "I thought that you might be human, but you're not like the others...".

"You're right...I am one of the Order of Seven, a group of human magic users that in the past created the barrier that imprisoned you and the others of your kind down here, this will take some time to explain..." He then proceeded to explain to Toriel and Frisk about the history of his order, their full connection to the barrier and their main mission since its creation...

How will Toriel take all of this in and how will this effect what happens to Frisk after everything is explained? Find out in Chapter 3: Patient Reveal
