Chapter Zero
Starfall
AN: This is my first story, so please bear with me! A little background as well as this story contains elements from another creator's story.
I am using elements from Mezameta Durai's stories. Something about their stories inspired me to write this… however I felt I should give proper credit to them first. I saw they went on haitus, and it saddens me to see such as I recently got caught up on Bard's tale.
"Talking"
'Thoughts'
"Text/… Talking"
"… Talking"
*Note. '…' in this means it is not yet seen… can you guess what they will be…?
The sun shines upon the upper window of a small one story light blue home standing on a small hill of a city known as Ebott City, a road curving by heading past several more colored homes. Inside the light blue home a head of brown hair turns as the sun tries to shine on the owner's face.
"Frisk, time to wake up dear. Your going to be late for your first day of school if your not up and about now." A female voice calls out from the open door of the small room. A young lady appearing no older than seventeen sits up with a mess of hair and golden yellow eyes that look up at a calander with annoyance. She sits up onto the edge of the bed, revealing what she was wearing; her loose white t-shirt that was too big and shorts. Her fair skin shone in morning light as she stands up and walks out of the room and into the hallway, across from her was the bathroom, and then down the hall was the living room and kitchen, and her mother's room. She walks into the bathroom and turns on the shower.
A knocking comes upon the front door. A fox-like woman rushes to the door with her blue eyes shining with excitement. She was dressed in a formal teaching attire as she opens the door.
"Sans, what a greeting this morning. Please come on in, Frisk will be out in a moment." The woman says as a skeleton with a leather jacket and a cracked face smiles at the woman.
"Thanks Caroline. How has the kiddo been doing?" He asks as he steps in, black jacket, dark gray jeans with black belt. "Mind if I?" Sans pulls out a pack of cigarettes. Caroline rolls her eyes.
"One. How you haven't turned your bones black or even gray with all that ash confounds me." Caroline says with a smile as she moves to the kitchen.
"Heh Tor says the same thing. So today is the day Frisk finally gets to meet other Monsters besides Me, you, and Alphys huh?" Sans says as he looks to the hallway.
"She won't be out for a bit longer. And yes… Not to mention her first human contact since middle-school… Humans really don't tolerate her very well for being cared for by Monsters. How is Toriel and Asgore doing? And don't lie to me, I know Asgore became the head of the Monster Mafia." Caroline says, getting a chuckle from the skeleton.
"Aw come on now Caroline, you know we don't want you to worry or get involved, If Asriel wasn't old enough to understand Toriel wouldn't have allowed it. You ever tell Frisk the truth about yourself, her father should be here as well, where is that fool?" Sans asks as he looks around.
"No I havn't. Egel is still hiding despite the fact hes the reason I am like this… If it wasn't for Toriel and Alphys who know what could have happened to us.." Caroline says with a sigh. Her ear perks up as she looks to Sans. The shower water shuts off and a few moments later Frisk walks out with her hair pulled back into a pony tail. Wearing a blue t-shirt with two purple stripes on her right sleeve and a pair of blue jeans, walking into the living room she smiles at Sans as she gives a wave.
"Hey Sans how goes it, havn't seen you in a while." Sans smiles as he waves back.
"Yep been quite busy kiddo. You excited for school?" The skeleton asks getting a nod.
"Yeah, its exciting to finally be interact with others again… hopefully without all the attitude from normal schools." Sans gives a chuckle at Frisk's response.
"Don't worry kiddo. You'll have plenty of people to meet and make friends with, and unlike your old school its mixed. You'll be with Monsters and Humans." Sans says as he stands up from the living room sofa. "You ready to go? We will be meeting your teachers for your classes and get you settled in. If we are lucky maybe you will make a few friends today." Sans says as Frisk nods. "Don't worry about her breakfast, I will take care of it." Sans says as he walks to the front door with Frisk following after him.
"Take care Mom!" Frisk calls out as she and Sans leave. Caroline smiles as she hears a creak, her eyes roll as she turns to a large fox Monster whom frowns.
"I see I am late…" Caroline scoffs as she moves to the kitchen.
"Like you care." Caroline says coldly.
"Caroline please…" The man says before she turns and faces the yellow eyed fox. His larger stature not doing anything to intimidate her.
"shut up." Caroline says before she walks close to him. "Your lucky I am not frying your ass with fireballs right now. I have had to care for our daughter alone while you not only changed me into a Monster causing our daughter into an outcast among humans, and I am lucky she hasn't turned into someone with a cold heart! Add on the fact you should be in her life!" The man raises his hands as he steps back.
"I know, I am sorry… I shouldn't keep hiding from everyone." Caroline scoffs as she turns around to the kitchen.
"How I fell for such a coward I will never know. Leave Egel. I am done talking with you today." Caroline says as she stares at the eggs she places down onto a plate.
"…" Egel turns as his orange fur rustles in a gentle breeze through the home. Hes gone in a blink, leaving Caroline to sigh.
"I am going to have to tolerate you soon enough anyways… You should have prepared us all Egel for Frisk, I hope she can find some semblance of a normal life with Monsters." Caroline sighs as she takes a few bites. "Best to get going or I will be late for my students."
Meanwhile with Sans and Frisk…
Frisk looks around as the two take place at a burger shop called Grillby's. Frisk stares in awe as she looks to Grillby himself as he looks to Sans.
"So this is the one and only Frisk, I was beginning to wonder if you would bring her here…" Grillby says getting a chuckle from Sans.
"Yep. Frisk this is Grill, hes pretty chill for a flame. If you ever need help your welcome to come to him if I can't be found." Sans says as Frisk nods.
"Nice to meet you. I am surprised you know about me…" Grillby nods as he looks to Sans.
"Sans kept speaking of a special human whom would likely be seen more around lately once school started. As he said your welcome to come if you need help. Any friend of Sans is a friend of mine." Grillby states calmly as he cleans a glass. "I will get some breakfast for you two so your not late." Grillby walks to the back, Sans snickers as he sits in his seat and leans back before lighting another cigarette, inhaling deeply before exhaling into the air above.
"So, before we head over there we will be meeting a few other people, First I am going to introduce you to a friend of your mother's. You can trust her as well she would do anything to protect younger folk like yourself. Shes very motherly so she will be like a second Caroline if you need another mother's advice, not saying Caroline's is bad. It is nice to have someone you can always go to however." Sans says as he takes another breath. "Then we got her kids as well. A monster and another human whom was adopted by their family. The family is Toriel Dreemurr and her kids are Asriel and Chara Dreemurr. Asriel is a good kid, you two might get along well… Chara however, hes a bit of a deviant. Don't get pulled into his tricks, he may be younger than you, but hes not at all like Toriel and Asriel." Sans says getting a chuckle from Frisk.
"Then I will have to make sure he get set on the right path." Frisk says with a smile and a fist pump. Sans' eyes widen as he smiles at Frisk.
'Heh, Just like all the other timelines Frisk aint got a mean bone in her body. This might not be such a bad timeline to exist in.' Sans nods as he turns and leans against the table.
"Next thing to note is your classes, Toriel and Caroline took it upon themselves to make your schedule, your unique as you know, and as you have heard from Alphys likely that you might be able to use magic. Most families train within, your mother wasn't taught to use magic till much later in her life so she can't teach you, If it weren't for the weird restrictions humans placed on you and Caroline you would have learned soon as we found out, even more so with Toriel teaching." Sans says with a sigh.
"I never understood that, why couldn't I meet more Monsters? I was only allowed to see you and Mom it seems except for the ones on the street that I saw pass by sometimes. I wasn't allowed to interact, and now I am?" Sans nodded.
"Once you turned seventeen you fell out of the city's control, in their eyes your a blooming adult and can't decide your future anymore. Why they didn't want you to interact, I am not sure. They had no problems with Dreemurr family adopting Chara, I think it might be best to ask your mother tonight for more information about why. I was allowed as I am the one element they can't track, even if I wasn't allowed we would have met and got to know each other." Sans says as Frisk nods.
"Like how you brought us here from my house right?" Sans nods. Frisk hums as she smiles."Well I am glad you got allowed so we didn't have to hide the fact you came by." Sans nods again with his smile as he notices Grillby coming back with couple of bags.
"Here you go, and Frisk as a friendly gift I am sending some lunch with you for your first day. If you ever want anything for lunch from here let me know." Grillby offers as Frisk smiles and nods at the Fire Monster.
"Thank you sir." Frisk says as the two take the bags. Frisk and Sans wave as they leave. A pair of large dog-Monsters smile.
"So that is the human that fell under Sans' protection huh? Asgore ain't gonna be happy losing his best hitman for a little girl." The first says.
"True… If he aint careful Asgore may hav-" The table before them burst into flames as the room darkened. The flames of grillby turned into a deep purple as his eyes narrow.
"If Frisk is a friend of Sans, She is all our friend. If I hear another word of such disrepect of a new companion…" Grillby says darkly. The first swallows a knot in their throat as they nod.
"Shut up you fools. Upsetting Grillby is really killing my mood.." A female voice calls out as a one eyed blue scale fish monster looks up. "The kid looks normal, But Alphys says she is special. Asgore called for it with Toriel, Royal decree for Sans to abide by. Don't make me warm up my day with pounding you both into dust." She says with a glare.
"Sorry captain Undyne!"both dog monsters say as they leave the room. Grillby sighs as returns to his normal orange flame. The table in flames, goes out almost the same time as Undyne chuckles.
"Shes gonna be an interesting one. Asriel really has gotten into a situation hasn't he?" She says with a sharp grin as she sits up.
"Yes… to be the invitation into the family… to think we have fallen into such a time. Least it is better than when we were almost pushed into the mountain." Grillby says as he pours a drink and sets it on the table.
Elsewhere in the city…
"Come on and move it! Boss needed this done yesterday!" Yells A young man with red eyes and flush cheeks as he wears a black suit with a purple tie. A small handgun in his hand as points it to someone. "I said move it! Do you wanna tell Asgore why the hell we failed to get this delivered to get those weapons he ordered?!" He says with a snarl as a Dragon Monster walks up and sighs.
"Chara, we get it. However it is not going to go any faster. Not since we lost the rest of our transport guys to that attack last week. You should meet up with Asriel and make sure he is safe, today is the day after all…" The dragon says. Chara rolls his ruby eyes as he looks up at the Monster.
"Ugh really? We have to deal with that stupid human girl now?" Chara says as he hands the handgun over to the dragon whom takes it, leaving Chara to turn and start leaving." I will watch out for Bro, he can't even handle this kind of work anyways so if anyone targets him they would be stupid not to aim for me first." Chara says as he leaves. The Dragon sighs following suit
"Remember Chara, you are to play nice. Asgore hopes that this will bring not only Caroline into the family, but the human as well. He wants to expand past just our kind." The dragon says as he places the handgun into his suit.
"Don't remind me. We don't need Humans, we just need whatever Gaster is building to be finished so we can just take over this city." The Dragon narrows his eyes.
'He doesn't believe Gaster is actually making a weapon does he? Gaster is a working on a solution to something greater…' The Dragon mentally sighs as he shakes his head. "Either way. Be nice. I hear the girl is really nice looking, perhaps a possible mate for you." Chara gags as he looks back.
"Dude, she is seventeen, I am fourteen. No. Besides, my woman needs to have a temper and needs to challenge me. I don't like a girl whom will just do what I say." Chara says as he smirks. "Might be fun to tease bro though… hes a sucker for good looking girls, even though he can't get a single one."
At a larger home…
Sans and Frisk walk up to the door of a three story home, Frisk stares in disbelief as the purple home stands proudly in its own acre of land much closer to the mountain than any home. A mainpath was made all the way into the city as she looks at the mass of flowers and beauty the front gardens held.
"This is the Dreemurr home, I know its fancy. Asgore built this place when he first married Toriel, Asgore is the Father of Asriel. He built the place years ago and since he was here before the city was built about… a few hudrend years back? He got all this land. Though most goes to waste." Sans says as the two arrive at the door. He knocks on the door as a voice calls out.
"Just one moment please. Asriel we have company dear, would you get that while I get this finished please?" A female voice yells out. The sound of feet rushing to the door as it opens to reveal a white furred goat Monster with two small horns on his head and a pair of emerald eyes looking into Sans' eyes.
"Oh howdy Sans. Mom it is Sans! Hes got someone with him too!" Asriel calls out. Frisk stares at the young man he was wearing a black tanktop and a pair of blue sweats, his body was a bit well toned as she could see some form of muscle under his fur. He was standing a bit taller than Frisk. She finds a blush rising to her face as Sans gives her a gentle nudge with a smirk
"Sans! Come on in you two. I was wondering when you two would be here. Asriel go get ready for school then come back. There is much to hear." A female goat monster comes out, she stands much taller than Asriel as she looks down with brown eyes as she smiles at Frisk and Sans and motions them in. She was wearing a large purple coat with a golden delta rune at the black neck seam. The two take a seat on a couch as Toriel sits across from them in recliner.
"Ah how good it is to see you again Sans, now I should introduce myself, however let us wait for my son Asriel to return…" She says getting a chuckle from Sans.
"Formal as always Toriel…" Sans says as soon Asriel comes rushing back down in a black suit with a purple tie and black pants with purple stripes down them.
"I am here mother." Asriel says calmly as he sees Frisk, his eyes glance at her as he feels a heat rush to his face. Her golden eyes felt… alluring.
"Come take a seat Asriel. Now child I am Toriel Dreemurr. This is my Son Asriel… my other son Chara should be here…" As if on cue the door busts open. Everyone turns, Asriel gives a dry look as Chara enters the room with a smirk as the Dragon Monster from before is still with him.
"Prince Chara, that was unnecessary." The dragon says as Chara chuckles.
"Nah, not enough. Heya mom sorry I am late…" Chara sees the glare in Toriel's eyes.
"You are repairing that wall and door after school. Or its coming out of your allowance." Toriel says as she turns back to Frisk. "Apologies. That is my adopted son Chara… hes a bit dramatic in his actions." Asriel scoffs.
"You mean delinquent right?" Asriel says, while Toriel sighs as she knows Asriel isn't wrong. "I am Asriel, nice to meet you…?" Asriel offers his hand to Frisk whom smiles and takes it in his own.
"Frisk. No last name, never had one." She says as she shakes his hand. His grip strong, however she wasn't the only taking in the grip. Asriel was surprise at her grip strength despite how soft her hands felt.
"Nice to meet you Frisk." Asriel says, Toriel offers her and as the two shake next, soon Frisk offers her hand to Chara, whom scoffs.
"I don't shake hands with humans." Frisk looks confused at Chara, Toriel glares at Chara.
"Don't be rude to our guests Chara." Toriel says, getting a shrug from him as Frisk retreats her hand. Sans glares at Chara as he stands up.
"There gonna be a problem brat?" Sans asks as he looks at Chara whom shakes his head.
"Nah, just don't care to be here. I am only here cause father said to be here. Despite I was doing what Asriel should be…" Sans glares deeper.
"We do not talk about that, especially infront of others!" Sans says as he glares at Chara. Toriel sighs as she points to the door.
"Then go Chara. You will see Asriel and Frisk at school." Chara shrugged as he left his Dragon companion stayed.
"Apologies Lady Toriel, Frisk. We are still working on his attitude. I am Brax if you ever need a ride, ask for me and I will be to you shortly." Brax says before leaving. Toriel sighs as she shakes her head.
"Sorry Frisk, I should have expected his actions. Chara isn't fond of Humans since we took him in. Now, as your future teacher of Magic, if you ever need help you are fully welcome to ask me or Asriel for help. Hes as skilled in the basics as me now, so he is more than apt enough to assist." Toriel says as Frisk turns and gives a small bow to Asriel.
"It seems I am in your hands Asriel." She says as he puts up his hands.
"Whoa don't bow, it feels weird! I am looking forwards to knowing you more. A human who can use magic hasn't been heard of in forever!" Asriel says with a smile as Sans nods.
"Yes, that is another thing we plan to tell you today. Frisk isn't fully human. Shes a hybrid, like the oldest legends of our kinds state that it is possible, but was forbidden. Why who knows, She may have more things special we don't know about so try to keep this between us alright." Sans says to Toriel and Asriel whom nod.
"Hybrid huh? Who was your human parent, do you know?" Asriel asks, Frisk shakes her head, Sans sighs
"It was her mother… there was a blood trail, but no body. No one knows if she lived, however Caroline took Frisk in when she heard the crying…" Sans says, Asriel frowns as he lowers his head.
"Sorry, shouldn't have asked." He says Frisk shakes her head.
"It is fine, I was a baby then, it is not like I am living an unhappy life either." Frisk says with a bright smile. Asriel's own smile as he nods.
"So Frisk, as you recently may have heard I am good friends with Caroline, if you ever need anything you can come to me for anything. Your welcome in my home no matter what." Toriel says as she stands up. "Now are you two ready to go to school? Sans is taking you so you should be in time to meet with your other classmates. Oh right, Asriel, your friends Fenor and Teina are both in the same classes as you two, perhaps it would be a good idea to introduce Frisk to them."
"They are? Awesome. I think you will like Fenor… Hes really laid-back, though that might be cause hes a cat type… Teina shes a Harpy, shes nice though can be a bit much sometimes." Asriel says, Frisk tilts her head confused.
"There are many different forms for Monsters, Humans call them sub-species… we go by typing. We are based of different types of beats or mythical creatures. The mythical based ones are more thanks to mutation more than anything, however we welcome them none the less." Toriel says. "Now off you three go, I will be at the school shortly. Sans stands up and motions for the two young adults to lead the way as the three exit the living room. Toriel smiles gently as she looks at Frisk leaving.
'Looks a lot like her mother than she knows...Egel you should tell her what you did to her mother, how she is never going to beable to live a normal life…' Toriel frowns before taking a deep breath in. "Best to get things ready, going to have a lot of things to cover today…" Toriel says.
Further in the city…
Frisk, Asriel, and Sans come walking up to a large two story school, many different Monsters and Humans were walking in calmly as the front of the school was filled with chatter. Frisk stares at the many different people around her, she took a small step back behind Sans. Asriel frowns as he notices this, more curious to why she would back down from the calm and excited attitude.
"Sorry, its been a while since I have been around so many people… much less around other humans." Frisk says. Sans gives a gentle smile as he turns and looks at her producing the bag from Grillby's again.
"It will be fine Frisk, Asriel is here with you and Chara should be arriving soon as well. There are plenty of people you can turn to here as well. Toriel and your mother both work here if you need them." Frisk gives a nod, Asriel's frown deepens.
"Don't worry Frisk, with me around I doubt anyone would try anything. Monsters know whom I am thanks to my family, and Humans should as well as my family is the head of Monsters in this city." Asriel says as he offers her his hand. She slowly takes it as he pulls her along. Sans waves at the two before he vanishes in a group of students.
Frisk walks with Asriel as the two head towards the school doors, a voice calls out causing the two to look up.
"Asriel! You arrived!" A rush of wind blast down on the two before a sigh comes from another voice.
"Teina, you got my fur in a mess… I really wish you would let my family drive us some times." A calm voice says as a female voice gives a light laugh.
"Sorry Fenor. Hey who is the human girl Asriel?" Teina asks as she looks at Frisk whom opens her eyes to see the red hair and magenta feathers coming from the Harpy girl, her talon feel and scaled legs were different than she expceted. Teina's outfit consisted of a pair of blue shorts rugged around the leg seams and short sleeved shirt. Her arm feathers forming her wings retract into her body as she smiles at her, though a little close as Frisk tries to hide behind Asriel.
"Teina, your freaking her out. She hasn't gotten used to being around others yet… Sorry Frisk." Asriel says as he lets her hide a bit. Teina frowns as she steps back.
"Oh… apologies then I didn't know. I am Teina Skywing." Teina says offering her hand. Frisk takes it slowly as Teina gives a gentle grip in her hand shake. Frisk felt a little more comfy as Fenor walks up a bit and offers his hand, his fur now fixed as his gray-tabby like look catches her off guard. Hes wearing an orange scarf that clashes with his formal attire of a pressed black shirt and pants.
"I too would like to apologize, as our entry was not the most calmest entry. I am Fenor Blake. His paw-like hand hanging as Frisk takes it. She found the soft paw-pads on his hand relaxing as she gave a soft shake with him."
"Nice to meet you… I am Frisk." Frisk says somewhat quietly, getting a chuckle from Asriel.
"Come on lets get inside, maybe we can talk in class room where it shouldn't be as crazy." He says before leading Frisk into the school with Fenor and Teina following after them. Soon they arrive in their first class which causes Teina to groan.
"History class first? Ugh so boring…" She says getting a chuckle from Asriel and Fenor. They take a seat in the back as the four look at each other.
"Alright, so Fenor, Teina. This is Frisk. Frisk these are two of my oldest Friends, known them since magic school." Asriel says as he introduces the two properly. They give another wave as Frisk gently smiles.
"Nice to meet you, sorry about earlier I havn't had the greatest record with doing well at schools." Teina raises an eyebrow as she looks at the girl.
"I don't want to intrude in your past, but why? You seem so nice, I doubt your a delinquent like Asriel's brother…" She says as Frisk frowns.
"Its because despite being Human, I was raised by a Monster. So other Human kids and parents didn't really like me, saw me as a some kind of freak for being in the same house as one." Teina's face turns into a sadistic smile as she looks at Frisk.
"If anyone tries that…" She says calmly before Asriel chuckles.
"Unlikely Teina, Everyone here was well looked into about their relations with Humans and Monsters, Its required for dual schools to pick their students like colleges do now." Asriel says as he looks to Frisk. "Another thing is that Frisk will be seeing if she has the ability to use magic. Doctor Alphys seems to believe she will have the ability to do so…" Frisk looks at Asriel curiously.
"We never mentioned Alphys earlier…" Frisk looks at him curiously.
"She is the only one I know who could do anything involving Souls and Magic. Well Besides Gaster, but he has been extremely busy with his project hes been working on." Asriel says with a hum. "So I just put two and two together. Besides, if you know Sans, you know Alphys… She treats everyone anyways, atleast since my mother isn't the main doctor at the hospital anymore." Asriel says as Teina chimes in.
"We should totally visit Gaster today after school! Remember what he said, he had a surprise for us when we started school again!" Teina says as Fenor nods.
"I am too curious what the master scientist would have for us." Fenor says. Asriel hums and nods as he smiles at Frisk.
"Well it seems they want to go, I am also interested. Do you want to join us?" Asriel offers, Frisk nods with a smile. It felt nice to be included, it felt nice to actually have some friends. Suddenly more students came in as a tall man with green hair and a thermos enters the room, looking at the board in the back he begins to write his name. Proffessor… Oobleck. The day went on with many classes going as one would expect, For math they had Linda, a more so annoyance to Monsters and Frisk, how she managed to get in the school was curious. Same with Language class and Helen, Then they had P.E with a russian woman whom was more than a little built. Frisk and Asriel stared in disbelief at the woman with pink hair and a Tattoos on her arms. Her name was Zarya, and she instilled discipline for sure.
After that was Lunch and then they met up with Caroline for Music class, and finally Toriel for Magic class. Both of which were far more exciting for Frisk. Asriel more surprised at seeing Frisk's mother Caroline, a Fox-monster. Last he heard there was only one left, now there was two? While Asriel felt something was off about Caroline, he knew better than bring it up around Frisk. It wouldn't be right to make her feel unsure about her Guardian. Toriel's class however was quite interesting…
Magic class
Frisk and Asriel step into the room as look and wave to Toriel whom smiles at the two. Taking their seats near the back once again with Fenor and Teina in front of the two, other students walked in taking seats as Toriel starts talking.
"Good evening class, I know your all excited for this day to be over, however I say your even more lucky to have Magic class as your final class… that is unless you already started joining after-school activities. My name is Toriel Dreemurr, and I will be your Magic teacher. As I see some of you glancing at our human student. Frisk here is a unique case where she has potential to use magic. Normally we would be testing today to see your core magic, however with this unique case for us, I figured we could go right into practicing the basics once more. Remember from Magic school; Basics are the key to mastery, Mastery is the true potential of the basics. Now, lets all start off with some simple light magic." Toriel says as she begins to write on the chalk board.
"First step to accessing your magic freely is to take a deep breath and feel your soul. Your soul is the core of your magic, It both generates and gathers magic naturally. Feel for a flow like water around your soul." Toriel calls out as everyone closes their eyes and take a deep breath. Frisk watching before following their steps, she focuses on the thought her of soul when she feels a cool feeling flowing through her.
"Next step is to guide your magic, eventually this comes so naturally you can use it without as much focus. Guide this flowing water towards your dominant hand; imagine opening gates and letting it flow to the tips of your fingers." Toriel says as she watches the class start to focus on her instructions; as expected most of them are subconsciously calling upon a small ball of light of different colors. Frisk lets her hand rest before her and images the gates, she feels the cool feeling rush rapidly towards her finger tips.
"Now finally imagine a small light above your hand, picture it in your head and let that image flow with the cool watery flow of your magic." The rest of the Monsters started to have flickering light, as expected it was good to go over the basics. However then she noticed an ever brighter light. Many noticed the light as they look towards it upon opening their eyes. Frisk's eyes closed she hadn't yet seen the orb before her, bright and clear. The orb was pure white, it was so pure that Toriel's eyes brightened at it. It had been so long since she saw such clarity of magic. Asriel was also looking in awe, when they said Frisk might be able to use magic, he never expected it to be so strong. Curious about how her magic was flowing, using a trick he learned from his mother he let his magic flow to his eyes slightly, enough to give a slight increase to the vibrancy of his eyes; they widened further. Her magic was flowing around her hand so powerfully, flowing around her hand and into the orb was four massive flows of magic like fast currants of water rushing down hill.
Her control was beyond bad, however she didn't have the training everyone did; however her magic's power meant she has had this since she was born; the clarity was so pure it was confounding; by her tales of not being well like should have darkened her soul; everyone's bad memories did. However it was as if her good memories were more than enough to overpower it. This was their understand of their magic anyways. They always learned something new…
"Frisk open your eyes and look!" Asriel says, Frisk opening her eyes stares in awe at the orb before her. Her orb of light. The moment she got too distracted however it flickered out. Everyone clapped proudly as she stared in disbelief and a bit of worry.
"Bravo Frisk, that was excellently done. Most don't even get a flicker. However it seems your control was overpowered by your overall capacity to overload it into existence! A rare thing to see, however we will want to get your control refined to improve your chances of not blowing up with say fire magic." Toriel says with a chuckle. The class give their own, Frisk blushes with embarrassment, yet a happy smile was on her face. She was being teased yes, however it didn't feel intended to be mean, but a friendly banter way.
Soon the four of them were walking out of the school, Frisk got a text from Sans saying he was not gonna be able to take her home today. Frisk smiles before typing a reply.
"Who you texting?" Teina asks curiously. Frisk looks up and shows the message.
"Just letting Sans know that I was going to be with you all a bit longer anyways so its fine." Frisk says before sending her text. Asriel opens his mouth before a glossy black car drove up, causing Asriel's potential words to turn into a groan.
"Great the last person who needs to bother Gaster too…" Asriel mumbles as their plan to head to Gaster's place was now delayed as the back door opens and Chara jumps out.
"There you fools are. Damn and here I was worried…" Chara says with a sarcastic smile.
"What is it Chara?" Asriel asks trying to get to his brother's point and his game over with.
"Your no fun Asriel, and to think we were supposed to be partners in our-" Asriel's eyes narrow further. Chara stops before smiling. "I figured I would give you all a lift home, how nice right?" Chara says with a mono tone. "However with how you started heading… you were going to visit him weren't you. You should leave our dear scientist alone, his work should not be delayed." He smirks as he looks at Frisk. "He needs not bother with humans either. They would just taint his workplace…"
"Hey Chara?" Teina calls out before flipping him off with a rather long feather from her hand. "Fuck off, I get so sick of you bothering us, and your brother. Now you insult Frisk, when0 you don't even know her!"Teina says, Asriel's eyes widen as Chara begins to reach into his formal attire before the front door opens in an instant, Chara is pinned to the ground by Brax whom glares angrily at him.
"That is enough Chara, You will report to Asgore now, and wait for me there. Or do I have to bind you again?!" Brax says as purple chains form around his arms threatening to wrap around Chara who groans and gives up. Upon getting back to his feet he is forced to hand over a large caliber handgun to Brax before walking away. Brax sighs before turning to the group. "That was stupid, reckless, and about damn time it was said…" He says getting under control as the purple chains finally fade back. "Now then, would you like me to drive you Prince Asriel? Your friends are more then welcome to come along." Brax says offering them a more enjoyable ride towards their destination. Asriel glad everything is alright nods as the four pile into the vehicle and take off.
Soon arriving at a white building with a large bone sticking up through it. Looking closer the bone was part of the building as windows were inside it as well. Asriel leads the way as the four of them head inside, Frisk felt kinda invasive here as she has yet to meet this Gaster, and they are walking in so nonchalantly. Asriel made sure to keep her close seeing her reluctance.
"Don't worry, Gaster has given me and my friends the permission to come in freely. Aside from people like my father or mother, and a few select others I believe. Come on now…" Asriel says keeping her hand in his, a blush forms on her face as she is gently and yet firmly pulled along… to be included, and to meet such a cute and nice boy… her blush deepens as she rethinks her words, Asriel was the same age as her… Hes not a boy hes a young man, and with the image of his muscles she saw, definitely handsome as well as being cute…
Soon arriving to a bright room with a man walking about, his face was a lot like Sans, except his face was cracked down to one eye from the top, and down the other eye towards his lower face. His smile was warm as he sees them, Frisk notices the many different white hands flying about crazily doing different tasks.
"Asriel, Fenor, it is good to see you two again." Gaster says with a smile his voice bright and cheery, Teina's eyes widen before Gaster snickers. "Ah and there she is, Teina. Good to see you are well." He says before looking to Frisk with curiosity. "And whom do we have here my Prince?" Gaster asks as he walks forth, he stretches his right arm out and offers his hand in greeting. "My name is Gaster WingDings. To whom do I have the honor to meet today?"
Frisk's eyes widen as she gently takes his hand with a smile.
"My name is Frisk, Mr. WingDings." Gaster laughs as their hands shake.
"Oh please, call me Gaster. I am not one for formalities such as that anymore. You are quite interesting indeed, Magic is flowing powerfully around you as equally as it does a Monster." Gaster says with his curiosity peaked. However he pulls back and relaxes. "However that is not the reason you four came here today now is it? Come, let me give you your surprise, and do not worry Frisk, I believe with your magic you too may find this useful." He says as he leads them to another room where numerous of beads of multiple colors where. He walks over and pulls out four orbs, each one gets grabbed by a flying hand that looked like Gaster's hand and taken to each one of them.
When Asriel, Frisk, Fenor, and Teina all took their orbs, they changed into an accessory. Frisk and Asriel's both turned into silvery necklaces with a gemstone inside the round pendant on them. Frisk's glowed a gentle orange. Asriel's glowed a gentle purple.
Teina's became a bracelet for her leg, with three gentle brown gemstones. Fenor's became a ring with one gemstone that glowed gently pink.
"These stones take a unique color depending on many things their color now shows your relaxed color, this may change with time eventually you will understand however. But their true use is that I have designed them to assist with training your magic, they are designed to direct the flow of magic and start to train your body passively how to control your magic's flow. In addition of making magic easier to cast; they can also help with overpowering a spell without it going critical, granted I would advise not doing that, it could blow up, but hey if you ever need a last resort." Gaster says before gently shrugging. Frisk stares at the man confused why hes calm about them exploding.
"Hey G, I got lunch." A familiar voice calls out before everyone turns to see Sans walking in as he notices Frisk he sighs. "Figures, leave ya alone for a few hours and you bump into not only my father, but the most crazed man in the world." San says.
"Oh come now Sans, I am not that bad…" Gaster replies.
"Do I need to remind you of the year '74?" Sans retorts.
"Duly noted, Now Sans before we eat, when did you plan to tell me this person you were watching was a-" One of Gaster's flying hand slams into Gaster's mouth while glowing blue.
"We will talk about it later G. Now aint really a good time to talk about that, specially when this food is about to get cold." Gaster nods as if accepting that response.
"True. Cold food is not as good as warm food… though shouldn't hot food be even better tasting?" Gaster ponders as the same hand slaps him across the face.
"Shut up you mad man." Sans says again before placing the food onto a table. "Welp guess everyone needs a ride home right?" Asriel shakes his head.
"Nah Brax is out front waiting for us. We were gonna drop off Teina and Fenor, then Frisk before me and Brax went to speak with Dad about Chara." Sans snickers as he hears this.
"Kid finally pissed Brax off again huh? Damn been a fun two months." Frisk's eye twitched.
'Two months since the last time?' How often did he piss Brax off?!
"Alright we should get out of your way Gaster, Thank you for the gift!" Asriel says, Fenor and Teina wave goodbye as Frisk smiles and gives a gentle head bow.
"Thank you as well Gaster…" Frisk says before running off to join Asriel and his friends.
"An interesting one she is…" Gaster says calmly as his voice now takes a more solem and stereo tone.
"Yep. Please don't do anything rash… Been watching her and I think she might be developing a crush on our good prince." Sans says as he pulls out a hotdog from the bag.
"Do not worry Sans, I do not intend to harm a rare sight; A hybrid of the closest genes of both human and Monster in their purest forms. A true to honest Sio'ta." He says as Sans sighs.
"We don't know yet.." Gaster shakes his head.
"You do not see what I see yet Sans, She is a true heir, and that means big things are coming, especially since her mother should be honest with why her magic is much stronger than it should be." Gaster says getting Sans to look at him questionably. "Tell me you know my son, that her mother has become a Monster through magical means, and now she has parted a new blend of magic into her, a magic of human soul turned monster… Egel should be lucky it didn't fail, or Frisk's mother would have been in true agony. She likely was still alive when he did it is why it worked." Gaster says, Sans's eyes widen as he gags.
"He used an alchemy based spell?! The only spell for a person would be… oh dust." Sans drops his food on to the table. "I think I lost my appetite. Egel is a dumbass."
"Indeed, however Frisk will benefit the most from my gift right now. That magic nearly broke the gemstone if I hadn't reinforced them today." Gaster says as he takes a bit of his food.
"Really now? On a scale of one to a hundred, how powerful is her magic?" Sans curiously asks, several hands form a number above Gaster. "Alright, note to self don't piss her off once she learns it. Gotcha. Thank dust I aint like my lazy-selfs. I don't know how they kept thinking all attack and no defense was the best action…"
"You weren't always the brightest…" Gaster says with a smirk.
"Hey G? Fuck you." Sans says with a glare as his right eye flickers yellow.
"A spar is not appropriate now Sans…" Gaster says as his eyes flicker purple in one and red in the other.
It had gotten dark while they were inside, As the group was riding into town to drop Teina and Fenor off. Frisk and Asriel looking up into the starry sky that glows with color and light despite the light from the city, they see a powerful and large streak shooting through the sky. Frisk stares in awe as Asriel cheers.
"Starfall!" He calls out as he looks at everyone, whom look confused. "Don't tell me you never heard, Starfalls are a rare sight to see; to see one means to instill good fortune with friends, family, and love. I guess I was the only one whom got interested in the astrology side of magic after all." Frisk's face light flushes as she hears the word love, a flutter in her chest as he speaks. "Oh its still going, lets make a wish!" He says as the four of them stare at the falling star.
Asriel smiled as he closes his eyes. 'I wish to be able to make sure Frisk is happy. She hasn't had the greatest time it seems and despite that, she is still smiling… I want to see a smile like that every day, that is how we should make peace with humans too…'
Frisk takes a deep breath in as she closes her eyes. 'I wish… to find out if what I feeling right now is true. I have no experience with others… but Asriel, ever since I met him, something rang to me. Was it his kindness? He seems so gentle despite his physique. I could see him tending a garden with such care… However could this just be what they call a crush? I wouldn't want to lead him on and then drop him for someone else, I would feel entitled to stay with him just not to make him feel like it was his fault…'
Fenor and Teina close their eyes and make their own wish. The night was over and soon Frisk was waving bye to Asriel as he and Brax left. Frisk walks into her home is greeted warmly by her mother. Caroline wraps her in a hug as she pulls back.
"There you are, ah did you have fun with your new Friends?" Caroline asks getting a nod from Frisk.
"Yeah, Asriel and Fenor were super nice, Teina was… Teina? Shes an odd one, I met Toriel and a man named Gaster today. Toriel was just like I thought once Sans told me about her, she is a lot like you, I can see why your good friends." Frisk says as she and Caroline move to the living room.
"Oh yes, we get that all the time. However it might be just cause we are both mothers." Caroline says before giving a hearty chuckle.
"Oh then I met a man named Gaster who gave me, Asriel and them all these beads that became really nice accessories. Look." Frisk raises her pendant up, Caroline stares in awe.
"From Gaster you say? I don't think I met him…" Caroline says with a hum.
"Hes Sans's father. He was nice, a bit odd… yet I could tell he was a good person." Caroline nods as she listens to her daughter.
"If you believe it is so, how can I say otherwise. Listen I need to get back to making dinner, feel free to wash up or take it easy till its done okay?" Frisk nods as she stands up with Caroline.
"A shower sounds nice, but… could I take a bath instead?" Caroline laughs as she nods.
"Yes go right ahead. You earned it." Frisk cheers as she rushes to the bathroom.
Else where.
"You ignorant child!" a loud voice yells. "If you shot her, both Skywing and Blake families would have turned against me! It was your fault last time when we lost the Skale Family last month because of a kid. You have grown egotistical, immature, and down right reckless. Until further notice you will not be allowed any firearms, any kind of power you had is gone. You will listen when spoken to and do as told or I will make sure you regret it even further." A large goat Monster yells with his large horns and massive frame. A golden beard and hair clashing with his white fur.
"But father-" The man slams his fists down on the desk. Shutting up Chara whom looks devestated.
"No buts! I can't believe I didn't do this sooner after the Skale incident! You need to learn respect, You do not instill it, you earn it!" The man yells again.
"Sir if I may…" Brax says as he looks at the man he answers to; dressed in black and purple with golden trim. He looked like a boss; as much as his demeanor said he was the boss.
"If Chara acts up again with this stripped status; I have a perfect solution to humble him; Bind him to Frisk, her demeanor would eventually break him down of his attitude. We could even use the enslavement rite." Chara's eyes bulge as he stares at his father and Brax.
"W-Wait that is a bit much don't you think?! Lord Asgore, Father. Please do not consider this…" Chara pleas to Asgore, whom smiles at Brax.
"I agree a hundred percent Brax. Consider a bonus heading your way with next pay." Brax bows with a smile. Asriel sitting at a table nearby with a smug look on his face. Asgore turns to his other son.
"Enjoying yourself I see Asriel?" Asgore asks, almost amused.
"Oh I enjoyed that alright, about time someone smacked him in the head… How long it sticks? That is what I can't wait to see…" Asriel responds, dressed in black with purple stripes. His formal attire for meetings like this were his sign of respect to what his father does, despite his dislike of the idea. A mafia, ran by his father… could be worse. Could be Chara… Nah wouldn't work. Asriel chuckles at the thought before standing up. "I must head home, I will tell mom you are well and let her know of the decision. I think she might not fully agree, she will agree that it is an effective one." Asriel says as he and Brax leave with Chara in tow. Asgore sits back with a sigh as he pulls a cigar up to his mouth a switch chomp and spit as a small flame lights to his finger and then to the foot of the cigar.
A red light flicks on the desk as he presses it.
"Asgore, How are you." The voice says.
"Good, Gaster. Tell me what have you learned…"
"Oh learned on what? The project… or the Girl?"
"You met Frisk then?"
"Yes. She is a testament of fiction turned real. Did you know a sample of her magic as told me that she could easily break barriers meant to seal us with no waste? Or that it is reactive to potential dangers? She cannot get sick as easily as humans, it surpasses our magical anti-bodies. It would have to nearly kill a human to make her ill… We would be like a bad cold."
"Anyways… what do you think of then?"
"Well… I think she would be a wonderful member of the Family. Granted she can understand our desire for peace and the means we took to achieve our peace."
"I think she will.. how goes the Orion project?"
"At current pace; fifteen hundred years before it would be ready. We need better materials and I need support. We need to get more into the family for logistics."
"Fifteen hundred huh… I want to see this before my death so we have to speed it up. I will figure something out; Materials wise we need a new source. Ours is starting to rust." He says, a beep as the line disconnects as he looks to a photo of Him, Toriel, and Asriel when he was much younger. Next to that was a few years after where Chara joined the family. Asriel's expression was bright in the first, and darkened much more in the second. He sighs as he rolls his head into his hands. "Where did we go wrong with him…"
