Back we go!
(Aurora's pov)
In my dreams that night I talked with Chara, nothing to major, we were just hanging out and playing games. We actually played Life, the board game. Chara knows that I will keep my promise to her, yes in this timeline Chara is a girl, though she is a bit of a tomboy. She wasn't completely free of the taint from the genocide runs, but she was doing a lot better. When it was time for me to wake up she promised that she would look over Frisk for me, she knew that I was trying to minimize my impact on the world until the end.
When I woke up the smell of fresh baking fills the air, it seems mom was already awake. I got up and using my magic got myself ready for the day, after I finished I left the room and headed to the kitchen. When I got there mom had baked pancakes. "Morning mom!"
She turned around and gave me a big smile "Morning my child! I maded breakfast."
I nod "It smells delicious! Thank you!" I walked over and sat at the table.
Mom walked over to the table with two plates of full of pancakes, she set them down then went back for our drinks, I waited patiently for her to come back. On her way back she accidentally bumped into the chair and dropped one of the cups. before it could hit the ground I used my magic to magic to cause it to go in reverse, back into her hand. "That was close."
"Thank you, I take it that is your magic my child?" She was grateful for that. As she was talking she put down the cups and sat down at the table.
"your welcome and yes, I have been hiding my magic from most monsters, for what is more scarier than a 'human' with magic?" I started to eat breakfast.
Mom nods "I can understand your logic, but I am glad you told me what you are."
"I am to, I am just glade that I was able to spend more time with you" after that we finished our food in comfortable silence. After we finished I helped her with dishes before hugging her. "It is time for me to leave, don't worry, we will be fine."
We walked down into the basement together holding hands. "Be safe my child, and keep Frisk safe okay?"
"I will mom!" after one more hug I opened the doors and left the Ruins a second time. I quickly stopped time and walked past the hidden camera in the bushes and walked past all of the puzzles. Soon I arrived in Snowden town, upon entering I unfroze time, but used my magic to make myself unnoticeable once again. I went up to the Skelebros' house, but instead of entering I climbed up the side of the house. On the way up I tapped on Sans' window before climbing up onto the roof. Sans' soon joined me up there.
"You know you are rather hard to find."
"I know Sans, by the way any guesses about what I am?" I asked as I dropped my magic.
He looks startled as the magic drops away. "Well that helps a bit, I think you are from a different AU, or at least one where either monsters look like humans or humans have magic."
I laugh "close but let me give you a hint I am not from a different AU, and I know Gaster, and I am neither a monster, a human, or a combination of both."
At the name Gaster he freezes up. "You know Gaster, that means you can either travel through time, or you came form the Void."
"Actually both."
he just stares at me. "Why are you telling me this?"
"Because you can keep a secret, and in the end it wont matter, I would tell others but for now I can't because we need a pacifist ending and the world is fragile right now, that is the reason for the True Reset, we would have done a normal Reset but there was a problem with the kid that had to be fixed."
"what kind of problem?" his eye lights were gone.
"It is for them to share, not me."
He nods at that as his eye lights return. "So how do you know the kid?" there was genuine curiosity in his voice.
I laugh. "Gaster asked me to help you all to get a pacifist ending after he saw you die, again." he winces at me saying that. "So just before Chara kills Frisk, which is after they kill Asgore and Flowey by the way, I stepped in and fought them." I laugh "They were so scared at my appearance, I fought them all the way back to when they arrived in the underground."
'Don't you mean 'where' and how were they terrified at your appearance?"
"You honestly think a person from the void would look like this?" I laugh "Let me introduce my self properly Sans the Skeleton, I am Aurora the Void Dragon." At my name my eyes change to my reptilian ones.
He jerks back at that. "Wow, that is a bit creepy."
"Now you know how people think when they see you with your one glowing blue eye." I said as my eyes return to normal.
he just looked at me for a couple of seconds. "will you kindly explain everything?"
*after a brief but to the point explanation later*
"I don't want to dragon but let me get this strait, Gaster and Segoe hired you to make sure that we will get a pacifist ending, and hopefully stay that way."
"That is correct, and there it is I was expecting that pun awhile ago tibia honest." I said with a straight face.
He laughed at that. "But seriously are you doing this because they asked you to or because you wanted to?"
"Both, I can't just jump into an timeline, it would cause a lot of problems if I did, so in order to enter one I have to have a reason."
"so even though you came only when something is wrong, you genuinely care about us?"
"Yeah, I do"
"SANS, GET UP YOU LAZYBONES" At that we both jumped.
"Well see you later bone boy!" I said as I jumped off the roof, while in mid air I froze time, once I landed I ran to Waterfall, into the hidden room with the bench and the quiche in it. I unfroze time after getting there, after sitting down on the bench I surrounded the lone Echo Flower in my magic so that it wouldn't copy my voice. Feeling in a rather sad mood I decided to sing.
Stronger Than You- trio (Sans/Frisk/Chara)
It was supposed to be a sung as a trio, but with my time magic it was a simple thing to do. Soon after you finished that song I heard some one walk across the little bridge. It was Frisk, he looked quite shaken by the song I was singing.
"Oh, hi Aurora, I should have known it was you singing that song, you are the only one who knows about the timelines who likes to sing. That reminds me why do you do that?"
I pat the bench next to me, inviting them to sit down. "I do it so that you know that even though I am not in the fight with you I am still there, watching over you."
They smile at that, then looked a bit worried. "Um, how was mom doing?"
"As well as could be expected, though when I left her place this morning she was in a much better mood. I did tell her what I am though."
"What was her reaction, I bet she still loves you!" Frisk said with a smile on his face.
"You would be right, I didn't tell her why I am here, only that I will keep you safe." I hugged Frisk.
They returned the hug, Frisk then nervously asked. "Um, if you don't mind me asking how older are you?"
I just gave them a look. "don't you know that it is rude to ask a lady their age? But I will give you this, if I was a human my body would have turned to dust a long time ago."
At that Frisk's eyes grow huge. "Okay, I wont ask again"
"Thanks, now lets go, we still have a long way to go." at that I let my magic fade away from the Echo flower as I stood up and walked away, Frisk took a moment to pick of the quiche and to listen to the echo flower.
"Oh how did you get here? The flower bridge wasn't set up?" Frisk asked with curiosity as they solved the puzzle to progress forwards.
"That is easy, I just stopped time, so basically the water was a hard surface for me to run on." basically the surface tension didn't have the time to break under my feet.
We continued on, after the call from Papyrus we moved on to the next room, we walked through the room, listening to the echo flowers, then moving on the the hidden door. In the next room I made myself unnoticeable once more, I looked at Frisk, how was confused but then figured it out that I wouldn't want the other monsters to see two humans, especially Undyne. Once we entered the next room we were ready to run, but we entered as if nothing was wrong. After Undyne had appeared after throwing a spear at us, we ran at full speed into the tall grass while dodging the spears like a pro!
Undyne followed us into the Tall grass but instead of finding us the found MK, that lovable no armed dino. After we left the grass he came out and gushed about Undyne touching him, we simply smiled as MK ran ahead of us. We entered the next room, in it there was a piece of cheese encased in a mystical crystal sitting on top of a low table, near it was a mouse hole and a save point. Frisk ran over to the save point and saved his progress, he then looked over to me. "Can you see the save points?"
"Yes I can Frisk, I can see everything that you can." at those words he looked a little bit relieved.
"Good for a moment there I thought that I was looking stupid in front of you."
I had to chuckle at that, I walked over and poked him. "we need to keep going."
We walked into the next room, in it we saw Sans next to a telescope and a box, as well as the star obsessed monster. Frisk immediately ran up to Sans, as he did I dropped my magic. Sans turned to talk to Frisk, but when he saw me he waved. "Well I was going to pull a prank on Frisk, but I guess I will just have to wing it now."
Frisk looked confuse at why I was laughing at that before he caught the pun. "You told him what you were?"
"Yeah, it was the best thing to do." I said with a smile on my face.
After a few more puns, Frisk went into the doorway and bought some Nicecream, then talked to that marshmallow. But as soon as it asked if Frisk was a star I looked at it with my magic surrounding my hands, it quickly shut up and took a step back. When Frisk turned around to see what scared the monster I was facing a different way and my magic wasn't showing, seeing nothing wrong he shrugged his shoulders then called me over. "I finished talking to everyone!"
We then entered the maze, I was once again shrouded by my magic. Frisk gave me the ballet shoes when we found them. "I have no room in my inventory, also you aren't wearing any shoes so I thought why not?"
I smile and took them putting them on. once I wore them I gave an experimental twirl. "Thanks Frisk."
Frisk got this look on his face before we continued through maze with no real problem. When we got to the next room we were met with silence, as we walked along Onionsan rose out of the water. He seemed a little lonely down here all by himself as Frisk talked to him my thoughts went back to the conversation we overheard through the Echo flowers, the one about the two sharing a wish to see the stars. I was jolted out of my thoughts when I entered a battle, not Frisk, but me.
*Shyren hides in the corner but some how encounters you anyway*
I quickly use my magic to hid Frisk from view as I made my self look like them. Hitting the Act button I hit hum, I started to hum. Then once Shyren was ready started to sing.
Jordan Smith - Standing in the light.
Stand in the light and be seen as we are
Didn't I tell you I hear what you say
Never look back as you're walking away
Carry the music the memories
And keep them inside you
Laugh every day
Don't stop those tears from falling down
This is who I am inside
This is who I am I'm not gonna hide
Cause the greatest risk we'll ever take
Is by far to stand in the light
And be seen as we are
Stand in the light and be seen as we are
With courage and kindness
Hold on to your faith
You get what you give
And it's never too late
To reach for the branch
And climb up leaving sadness behind you
Fight hard for love
We can never give enough
This is who I am inside
This is who I am I'm not gonna hide
Cause the greatest risk we'll ever take is by far
To stand in the light and be seen as we are
Stand in the light and be seen as we are
Riding the storms that
Come raging toward us we dive
Holding our breath
As we break through the surface
With arms open wide
With arms open wide
This is who I am inside
This is who I am I'm not gonna hide
Cause the greatest risk we'll ever take is by far
To stand in the light and be seen as we are
Stand in the light and be seen as we are
Cause the greatest risk we'll ever take is by far
To stand in the light and be seen as we are
So stand in the light and be seen as we are
To stand in the light and be seen as we are
I lost my self to the song, focusing my all into this song.
(Frisk's P.O.V.)
A few minutes ago.
I saw Aurora walk ahead, she seemed to be lost in thought, I smiled. She was so interesting, when she put on those Ballet shoes and did a small twirl it was like she had worn them her for a long time, she wore them with grace. I noted that after she put them on she started to use small ballet moves in her walk, as if she was dancing to the melody of Waterfall with out noticing. Then suddenly she was pulled into a fight with Shyren, I was startled by this she was in a fight? Then out of no where I felt her magic on me as she started to look a lot like me, what was she doing? Then she started to sing, I stopped and listened to her sing, monsters were drawn to her song, even a bit more than normal showed up, Sans ran out of toilet paper tickets so fast that it was amazing. Aurora was singing her heart out to us, this song held special meaning to her. Sans saw me and did a double take, then walked over to me. "Is that her singing?"
"Yes it is."
"She is amazing." those three words held so much awe in them.
(Aurora's .)
After the song was over I turned and froze as we sung a giant crowed formed and after a moment of silence they went crazy, I smiled and waved as they departed. Instead of the thirty gold I was given fifty, I was shocked at this, I hugged Shyren. "Hey, trust your self and sing from the soul and you will go far!" She nodded and then left.
"That was a good song Aurora!" Frisk cheered, I smiled and let my magic fade so that I was myself again.
"Yeah I have to agree with the kid Draco" I froze at that nickname and Sans saw that. "Is something wrong with that name?"
I shook my head "No, it just has some memories attached to it, go ahead and use it if you want."
"Alright Draco, good luck!" and with that the two of us where left alone
