Your Highness

Now listen. Come closer. Yes.

It is very likely that very soon the player will be separated from Kris, which will also mean being completely separated from the FUN gang. The soul shenanigans were interesting but I do not see the dynamic between Kris and us remaining the same until chapter 7. I think our connection will be severed in some way prematurely. We're getting divorced - willingly or not.

And the next most logical thing is for us would be to reunite with our vessel, possibly getting some Gaster dialogue in the process as well. I think the dude will have figured out how to get it back for us, he has plenty of time until 2026. Are you listening? Pay attention now.

So we will be back in the game, but we will be in need of two more party members. Noelle, of course, being the suspected true second hero, will be our recruit. All of this could happen during chapter 5, since we know she will be there and that... seems like the perfect time. For what you might ask? Ho ho.

Because that's when I believe the Roaring will happen.

Right when we are at Asgore's place during the festival. And it is there that we will encounter a familiar face in the dark world. Yes... Flowey. (No Papayas?)

"Doesn't Ralsei fit the bill better though for the third hero?"

Yeah, he is a lonely prince, alone in deepest dark, just as the prophecy states. But... he doesn't seem like the type to switch party for me. I don't think he will abandon Kris and Susie just to come with us. (If those two are fake, then he's fake too by association smh...) The implications of Snowgrave are another reason why we would need a whole new party anyway. Kris already had a huge crashout, Susie might definitely find out something is up and Ralsei... He would never go along with our schemes, prophecy or not. Despite his worldview and his low opinion of himself as a darkner, I believe there is a fine line he would not want to cross.

So to keep things less complicated, we're getting another messy divorce (with Ral).

Now there are people saying that the third hero will be Asriel instead if Ralsei is no-good, but dat dude is probably buried in uni work, he ain't coming for this nonsense early. Trust meh.

"This goes against the rule of having Undertale characters take up the spotlight."

Yeah, this is a big problemo. But doesn't that assumption make this turn of events... completely unexpected? Tobz already broke the formula we all thought he was gonna follow for the secret bosses and chapter flow. Who's to say he can't chose to do something like this?

"Flowey is built different. He doesn't even look like the person in the mural."

[[[Pic goes here]]]

My only salvation is the fact that they have a hood on. And... wait, I don't see any legs. And is that- fire magic?? Haha... hahahaha!!! You know who else can use fire magic? The weeds in my garden after I blast them with it!! Okay, look. Yes, we have not seen Ralsei use this type of spell. Which means we either will... or this is someone else who happens to be Dreemurr-core. And I'm sticking with it.

"Anything else you wanna add before I blast you with it?"

Yes. This.

This is the only other character that we know of that refers to himself as a Prince. Lancer... you don't count. Get him out of my sight. No, Lancer is not the- wait a minute...

In all seriousness though, if a certain flower appears again in our adventures, I do not think it will be the same Flowey that we know of. There is something about that room Asgore keeps all those pots in. It's dark with no windows, it almost feels like a basement even though it's clearly not. Maybe... just maybe, a very specific type of darkness can be created here. One that can mold a darkner who can cross the dark worlds like Ralsei can, another prince. What would the criteria be for creating a fountain with the same pure darkness? What makes Castletown so special? Was the will of the one that created it stronger then? Were intense emotions involved? We shall see.
