"So… now what?" I asked the others as I turned to them.
"MY CHILDREN!" Asgore ran over to his two children. He grabbed them into a hug and started to shed tears of joy. "Oh, how I have missed you two."
"Dad, you're suffocating us," Chara said.
"Yeah dad, could you let up a bit, don't want to squeeze us to death do you?" Asriel said.
Asgore loosened his hold on his children. He then turned to me, tears on his face. "Ulfin, you have my eternal gratitude. Thank you for returning my children."
"Actually, I've been thinking I should probably take up a new name now that I'm human," I said, grinning. "But, you're welcome, Asgore."
"H-how are you human Ulfin?" Alphys asked.
"Well… I explained this to Frisk and Chara, earlier, but I guess I can say it again for all of you," I said. I told them all that I told the two about my origin, waiting for their reaction.
"But… that doesn't make any sense!" Alphys practically screamed.
"Well, I don't know what to tell you, that's what happened," I said, shrugging. "By the way, call me Sachiel now, that was my human name."
"And why not just stick with Ulfin?" Chara asked.
"Why doesn't Asriel just stick with Flowey?" I asked back.
"Good point."
"Now… what do we do?" I asked. "I mean, we know nothing about the surface… unless Frisk wants to show how its like up there?" I suggested, turning to them.
"We should probably gather everyone relevant before I explain," Frisk signed.
"So… Undyne and someone from the ruins then?" I asked them.
"Well who is this other person?" Asgore asked.
"I'd rather not ruin the surprise," I said, grinning.
After asking the spiders to send a telegram to the Ruins, we all sat in the throne room, waiting for Undyne and Toriel to arrive. Undyne was the first to arrive. We were unsure if the message we sent Toriel would convince her to leave the ruins, but she arrived not to long after Undyne.
When she walked in her eyes widened as she gasped, seeing the forms of Asriel and Chara there.
She ran over to them, grabbing them in a tight hug. Tears started to stream down her face as she said "Oh, my children, please let this be real."
After giving both Undyne and Toriel an explanation of what happened, we moved onto the main topic of discussion of our meeting. "...Okay, we're all here now, Frisk, what can you tell us of the surface?" I asked, it being a while later, Toriel and Undyne now in the group that knew of my origin.
"Can someone get me some paper, so I can write it down for the people that don't know sign language?" Frisk signed.
"I got ya," I said, concentrating. A pen and some paper appeared in my hands, me holding the items out for Frisk to take.
"What should I explain first?" Frisk asked me.
"How's the government up there?" I asked.
They began to write down a basic explanation of how the government on the surface worked. Apparently the surface is ruled under a monarchy with a parliament beneath that. The king serves as head of parliament and sets the agenda.
"How do they feel about monsters?" I continued.
Frisk was unsure of the exact opinion the government had on monsters but according to them many of the legislators in parliament are descendants of nobles who served in the war.
"That… probably isn't good…" I said, frowning in concern.
"Frisk, does the king hold court to review matters that parliament can not?" Toriel asked. Frisk nodded in reply. "Then I suggest sending a small envoy in order to represent our kingdom to the human king's court."
"But who will we send?" Asgore asked.
"I… don't know if I should stay or go, I'd be best for protecting either the monsters that go or stay, considering my recent… upgrade," I said.
"i think me and undyne will be more than enough to protect the underground, sachiel," Sans said.
"Pfft you helping me defend the underground? All you ever do is sleep all day, how could you possibly help?" Undyne said "Your brother would do a better job than you."
"I wouldn't underestimate him, I bet he's stronger than you think." Chara said.
"Speaking from experience there?" I whispered to them teasingly, making sure nobody except them heard.
Chara just groaned at my comment. I smirked in amusement. "Okay, I'm going then, who else is?" I asked, getting us back on topic.
"I need to get back to my family on the surface, so I should probably go."
"Good point," I agreed, nodding. "Who else… Asgore, Toriel, one of you should come." I said.
"I'm not very good with diplomacy, I think Toriel should go," Asgore said.
"I think that is an excellent decision, not that you make that many." Toriel said, shooting Asgore a small glare.
"Alright, if that's everyone that wants to go?" I asked, looking at the assembled people. I then noticed that Alphys looked nervous like she wanted to say something but was afraid to ask.
"You want to come, Alph?" I asked.
"Please!" she shouted. "I've always wanted to see the surface."
"I'm pretty sure everyone underground wants to see the surface," Asrie said.
"Which reminds me, should we make an official announcement to the rest of the underground that the barrier has been broken, or should we keep it hidden from the public?" Asgore asked.
"Probably say it's been broken, but say that you're sending a party to go talk to the humans so there's no immediate aggression after all the monsters leave," I suggested.
"good idea kid, but there is two problems. one, everyone thinks the war is still on. two, everyone wants to get to the surface as soon as possible." Sans said.
"Perhaps it would be best to announce that a peaceful alternative to reach the surface has been found and that we are calling off the war," Toriel said. "If we were to call off the war without a reason, monsters would lose hope."
"Good idea," I said, nodding. "While that happens, let's go talk to the humans." They all nodded in agreement, and we were off.
