Promise me? -Prologue-
Two small monsters sit under a tree. One a skeleton, the other a creature with eye that arms, a beak, and and a body that can twist and contort much like his prehensile tail.
“Sans?” Asked the beaked creature.
The skeleton turns. “Yeah Slav?”
“When we grow up, let’s go on a date!”
Sans smiles. “Yeah! When we grow up, we’ll be the cutest couple in the world!” “Promise in this and all realities?” “Promise in all realities.” A bony pinky links with one of many flesh ones, and the deal is sealed.
Everything is burning. The humans have come to destroy them.
“Slav!” Sans is screaming for his friend, running alongside his father, W.D. Gaster, who is clutching his baby brother Papyrus.
“Slav!” He screams again.
“Sans!” A voice echoes, and he can see Slav and his mother standing by a weird contraption. It’s the thing their parents have been working on since war was first declared.
“Hurry!” Slav is held in his mother’s many arms, and they’re inside the main chamber of the machine, the door flung wide open. His glasses are slipping off his face. The humans are closing in on the machine, and Gaster knows his family won’t make it in time.
“Sonja, go! We won’t make it!”
“What about you and the boys?!” she questions, furtively glancing between the skeletons and the humans.
“We’ll figure something out, now go!”
The pair tearfully gather their children, both screaming no, this can’t be happening they can’t leave each other. The glasses fall to the ground, and the door slams shut. Gaster runs the other way, away from the humans. The machine rumbles before shooting into the sky. Slav is gone.
When they return later, all that are left are a pair of glasses. Slav’s glasses.
They’ve lost the war, and while the three are alive, they’re forced underground with the rest of the monsters.
