Hello everyone, I'm back with another chapter of Our Saviors. Last time we finished our first "day" and got some conversation with Chara and Asriel, as well as the introduction of Captain Undyne! As always, I hope you enjoy the chapter and all feedback is appreciated!

P.S: You all need to go see Zootopia! SO GOOD!

Well, today's the day I finally begin to train with Undyne.

"Asriel, you be good to Captain Undyne. Alright my child?"

I give Mom a soft smile, "Of course Mom, I wouldn't be disrespectful to someone like her."

"Good luck, son."

"Thanks Dad," I begin walking out the door, "well, I'll be off!"

"Goodbye!" I hear them shout.

With that, I take my first steps towards the Royal Guard Training Facility. Oh boy...

Despite popular belief, the Royal Guard Training ground is not located in Hotland. It was built by the last Royal Scientist, who died a little before I was born. It is actually built underwater, in Waterfell! This is considered by many of those who are in a high enough position to know about its existence, to be his first great work, and went a long way to keeping the Royal Guard unknown.

After making my way through Hotland, I reach the Riverman... or, woman. "Hey Riverman, how's the business?"

"Splendid as usual, glad you asked. I guess you're looking for a ride?"

"Of course."

"Well then, hop right on."

No one knows how the Riverman looks, he's always wearing a robe that covers his entire being. No one even knows where he lives. Personally, I think he lives on the boat.

"Where to?" He asks.

"Waterfell, please."

"Very well."

We're off, sooner or later, I'll reach Waterfell.

We're around midway through the ride, when the Riverman turns to me.

"Tra la la... did you know, we all exist due to one person... he just isn't here yet."

My stomach drops. His statements are usually vague, but often have truth to them. What does he mean, 'isn't here yet'? Am I missing something?

Before I have time to think about this fully, we reach our destination. "Thank you, come again. Tra la la..."

That's my queue to get off, so I get up and thank him for the ride before heading on my way.

It's amazing how beautiful Waterfell is. I look up and see the ceiling full of sparkling diamonds and other minerals. Some of the oldest monsters say it reminds them of the sky they saw as a kid, before the war. But it must pale in comparison to the real thing.

One of the only surviving monsters who fought in the war is General Gerson. He apparently fought along my Mom and Dad, who are a lot older than they look, as they are boss monsters. My Mom and Dad didn't start aging past adulthood until I was born 15 years ago! He says that the sky was the most amazing spectacle he'd ever seen.

As it's my first visit to Waterfell in a few months, I make sure I stop by and say hi to him.

"Hey, Gerson! You awake?"

"Uh, huh? Oh, if it isn't my old friend's magnificent son Asriel! How has life been?"

"Great, albeit stressful."

"I can't imagine... it was your 15th birthday yesterday, right? To have the entire kingdom's hope on your shoulders, I would've given up by now," he gave a prideful smile, "but you won't give up, will you? You remind me of your father when he was your age."

"Thank you."

He looked puzzled, "Did I ever say that was a good thing?"

I must have shown a similar look, because he laughed, "I jest Asriel, I jest. Is there anything you need to buy? Stock's full."

"Yeah, actually. May I have five bottles of sea tea?"

"Of course, I imagine you have 50 Gold?"

"Yep," I took out the gold and gave it to him, "here you go."

"And here is your tea. Have a good day!"

I leave the shop and continue on my trek.

It's interesting, really. Besides the carvings on the wall throughout the Waterfell caves, I really don't know much about life before the Underground. Mom and Dad don't like to speak about it, because of the war, and Gerson's memory of it is hazy to say the least. I've asked Chara what it looked like on the surface, and she says that the grass, trees, and just nature in general were beautiful. In matter of fact, the only times she's ever spoken positively of the surface is when talking about nature. Hence her love of Dad's garden.

I finally reach my destination. Dad told me it'd be a little while before the entrance reaches the surface, but it does so quickly- and Undyne is there to greet me.

"...358," she says, "that's what number you are. Come in, it's best we get started as soon as possible."

"What do you mean?" I ask as I enter.

"The sooner, the better. You're our 358th guard, and the sooner you're assigned to a post, the better!" She slams down on the descent button and we begin our fall into the facility. I gaze out the window of the elevator and see that there are numerous cogs and screws that keep water, oxygen and light flowing through smoothly. It goes on for about a mile in every direction and is filled to the brim with military grade weapons and armor.

358 members of the Royal Guard, huh? It seems like a lot at first. But considering the absolute massive size of the Underground outside of the capital, Hotland, I guess it isn't much of a surprise. From what I can tell there are 50 monsters present, and they're in mid training.

Undyne turns to me, "Well, are you ready to start?"

I chuckle, and scratch the back of my head, "Of course I am!"

Sat on this for a month, and decided I'd release it as is so I can focus on making the next chapter, sorry about the length!
