A/N: Alright, I know I used the lyrics from Kathy-Chan's and Djsmell's "It's Raining Somewhere Else" cover in this chapter, but *ahem*

"Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.

This is non-profit, as, unless somehow someone finds my address and gives me money (which I'd be happy to receive BUT STILL!), I do not make any money out of any part of this fan fiction.

Also, credit to Kathy-Chan and Djsmell as they made this sounds awesome as hell.

In this chapter, we tackle one mystery which I was going to tackle now anyways, but a review pushed me over the edge:

The Toad Soldier: "I like this story a lot! It looks to be shaping up really well! I like how you change perspectives from time to time. I wonder, though, how did Felix get magic in the first place? And what will Felix and Frisk do next?"

To The Toad Soldier: I hope this satisfies the questions you had.

Chapter 15

Magical Origins

Felix's POV

I groaned, trying to sit up. "P-Please d-don't do that! Y-You could hurt yourself m-more!" I stopped trying to, especially since there was a large belt across my chest. There were more belts restraining my arms, waist and legs. I felt as if I was a test subject. The lab I was in was really dark, and there was syringes lining the walls. Most were empty, but a few had a liquid that appeared to be glowing red. Those syringes were marked in strange symbols that I couldn't read. "A-Alright… N-Now let's s-see if your S-S-SOUL is o-okay…" I felt an injection in my arm, and my world started to slip away again…

Frisk's POV

Undyne shook me awake really early, telling me that it was time to go see "a friend". I could only assume that she meant Alphys and Felix. I got up, pulled on my shoes, and we were out the door. We took the River Person's boat to Hotland. We got off, thanking the River Person and walking into Alphys's Lab. But for some reason, she was nowhere to be seen. Alphys came out of her "bathroom", and she walked towards us. She got nervous when she saw Undyne.

"U-Undyne! What a n-n-nice s-surprise! W-Why are you here…?" She was biting her lip, and twisting her fingers together in a way that was reminiscent of a certain "wrong enemy".

"I'm here to see the punk that saved my life!" Undyne paused for a moment. "He is still alive… right?" Undyne's eye narrowed at Alphys slightly, and more sweat beaded out on her forehead.

"H-He's…" Alphys looked reluctant. "He's this way…" She started leading us to the "bathroom", and she opened the door. As usual, the elevator controls were there. She led us inside trembling slightly as she hit one of the elevator buttons. The elevator slid down slightly, before plummeting. I screamed as it fell down, and Undyne held onto Alphys for comfort. That's right, Undyne held onto Alphys for comfort!

Suddenly, the elevator thudded to a halt, and we all hit the elevator floor. I stood up, a nasty cut on my forehead. Alphys looked okay, and Undyne looked dazed, but alright. Together, we walked out of the elevator and walked into the True Lab. The Amalgamates stayed away from us since Alphys was with us, but Undyne looked genuinely scared of them. I was too, when I first saw them. Again, my mind wandered to Felix. "I wonder if he's afraid. Is he alright?" I pushed the thoughts of Felix being severely hurt out of my mind as we entered the largest room.

Felix was in a bed, getting an IV drip of some form of medication. The medicine was clear, so I couldn't tell what it was. Alphys got a monitor on a cart from the corner and stuck some pads on Felix's bare chest. Why am I recalling that…? Gah! Stop thinking of him like that!

Back to his condition! A SOUL appeared on the monitor, and it was green. I knew this. There weren't any cracks or anything, but there was something peculiar sticking out from the top and bottom. It looked like a white… upside-down… SOUL… "F-Felix… h-has a m-m-monster SOUL… Th-That's h-how he can use magic."

Objective POV

Frisk stood near Felix's bed. She was frowning slightly as she watched him. Undyne and Alphys were in a different room. She sang to herself. Her voice was a soprano, and quite pleasing to hear.

"Don't you know that you could tell me anything and I would tell not another SOUL…? In the end, when the laughter's gone, I think we both feel quite alone."

Another voice rang out. A tenor's voice, coming from Sans of all people.

"I can tell by the way that you speak to me that there is so much that you might know. Even so, it won't fill the emptiness that chills you to the bone."

Frisk was surprised, but kept singing the melody she and Sans were sharing.

"Now and then, when you can find the company, somehow it's always behind locked doors. Making promises you don't want because you've made them once before."

"Don't you feel like you're a mess sometimes? I hope you know that it's okay. Searching endlessly for your distraction just to make it through the day."

"You don't have to have everything sorted out right now."

"Just take your time…"

Chara chimed in with Frisk, and Sans smirked a little more than usual. It's like he could tell that he was there.

"Don't you know that you could tell me anything and I would tell not another SOUL…?"

"Go ahead, you can make your threats at me, but one day, I'll be gone."

Chara's voice echoed off the walls, even Felix hearing it in his dreams.

"Quietly, you can make your confessions through the string of truth as you speak in jest."

"I can hold it within my heart 'till I am finally laid to rest…"

As Sans held out the final note, his voice seemed to trail off. He turned to leave, knowing that his job was done for the moment. "Sans…" Frisk's voice called out to him. He turned back, looking at her. "Thanks for singing with me… I feel a lot better now…" Sans nodded, and walked away.
