19. Chapter 19

Hi everyone! Today there's a slightly shorter chapter. Right now it's just the calm before the storm.

Panakeia: The red flower petals represent human souls, since in the game, the soul we most commonly see (Frisk's) is red, so I went with that. They yellow flowers just represent the yellow flowers that Asriel and Chara liked so much.

DauntlessAngel11: I want this story to fit all the timelines, so here we are!

Here's today's chapter:

December 1, 170 A.E.

Entry #19

Toriel got a letter from her mother today. Another town has been captured by the humans. The humans are not killing everyone in the village anymore. They kill the leaders of the village and make the regular civilians work for the humans.

I uncomfortably recalled the torture camps that Msr. Aster mentioned. "What do you mean, 'work for the humans?'" I asked.

"Well, the monsters are put into factories to make weapons and other supplies for Paz's armies," Toriel said, "Others are forced to channel their magic into human machinery."

"Machinery?" I asked, "What is that?"

"It is a tool that has a lot of parts and does bigger portions of the work than regular tools, I think," Toriel said, "Mother says that Paz had signed a treaty with the humans from the other side of the ocean. Those humans are making a lot of machines that do a lot of things, but they need fuel, so I think the humans are fueling their machines with monster magic.

"I asked my Mother about that village of Tsunderes that was captured a few weeks ago, and she replied that the humans were using them to figure out how to fly." She sighed. "They should have at least used monsters that actually had wings."

I wish my parents would be as honest with me as Toriel's mother is. I have long since given up asking them about the war. They always ignore my questions and tell me that the war would be over soon. According to the things that Toriel's mother has written, I fear that the war would end soon, but we would not be on the winning side.

Perhaps monsters also need some machines. When I become king, I will invest in some scientists that would build some great machines.

~Asgore

I think you have already met one of your two best scientists, Asgore. You won't meet the other one until centuries after the war, so don't rush yourself.

Remember, Lapis and Peridot are two vegetarian immigrant hippies who are living a happy life on their lovely vegetable farm and no amount of racist uncles are going to change that.

Review!
