* You've got a good mother.

* ... it'd be a shame to make her bury her child. But it'd be even more of a shame to have a kid watch her own mother be buried.

Meet Selien, Hypothetical mother to Susie and general irresponsible parent. As fun as half human Susie is I didn't feel like taking that route for this AU, to complicated and muddied the story.

ANYWAY Selien was rambunctious and hot headed willing to start shit with anyone and everyone. Her and Brutus's first meeting was actually in a Wcdonalds where they got in a fight due to his tail bumping her. Selien as one would hope of a mother had a big old heart for her family, they never had much but they made what they did have work, roughhousing and playing with little baby Susie whenever they could.

Sadly though, Like in all stories, dragon must be banished. Freak Monster Truck Rally Accident? Slow Sickness? Human Robbers? An Overdose of something she shouldn't have taken? Lung failure? Flew away never to be seen? In the end it doesn't matter, she's gone a mother and wife taken far to soon, leaving two heart broken dragons to cope. With only one Adult in the household Brutus had to move frequently failing to keep jobs in his emotionally shaken state, quick to lash out. He's lucky he was able to find a cheap apartment in home town. Anyway that's enough gloom and angst, look at the silly dragon laugh!

With Kris gone aiding whatever promise they made with the caller on the phone, and Ralsei busy making rooms in preparation for the Dark Sanctuary Darkners, Susie's familiar party won't be with her as She travels through the Waste World. The first of her party here is a close F R I E N D

Soon after the world takes form, Brutus (See prev post) is nowhere to be found, as Susie searches for him in the dark she is Quickly approached by a beast acting far to friendly seeking to stick by Susie's side Naturally, Susie is untrusting and dismissive of the beast, but with it presenting it's taken hold of something VERY valuable that Kris left lying around at home. Susie has little choice but to listen

The F R I E N D seeks the closure of the DARK FOUNTAIN as this was was never part of the Prophecy. While Susie would gladly defy the Prophecy she would quickly see that in a world forged by dull blade, little joy can be found. F R I E N D acts as an ally in battles with an attack and magic stat so unnaturally high that it makes Susie look like chapter 1 Ralsei by comparison, but that extra power is more then necessary to put a dent into some of he strange darkners roaming around. As our uneasy alliance treks up the great river towards the fountain.

Deltarune: Dragon Tamer is a Deltarune AU writ before the release of Deltarune Chapter 5 The concept follows the Idea of Susie forming a Dark Fountain by her lonesome in her home Based on the non descript room we see in chapter 3. Susie comes home and finds her father passed out at home, seemingly not to worried when or if she'll come back. Not even being wanted there, she decides she wants to change that, Grabbing a dulled kitchen Knife She thrusts the blade into the earth. The Dark Worlds helped her grow and become better, Why can't they help her father?

One of the most ferocious Darkners roaming the Waste World is the Trapp Mauser

A gargantuan beast of of Plywood and metal, It produces cheese to act as a trap to lure in prey before...

SNAP

It bares its fangs and brings its collar up to snap the fingers of anyone who reached for its cheese. This beast is known for causing cheese based trust issues in those who are unfortunate enough to fall for its trap. Trapp Mauser serves as a Midboss of sorts like Clover, blocking the parties path at the base of Dragon Plateau.

it's so powerful in the dark world because Susie remembers getting her finger bit by a mousetrap before also as per deltarune law its hurt sprite is silly

To be honest I don't think I could write a daily post about ever Darkner so, here's a buncha of Darkners from the wasteland

Forshaken A soda can that was shaken up and exploded. It scours the greta river for victims to shake up like it was shaken. (Based on the freaky hand slug things)

Chrono An old man who thinks he knows what's best for everyone around him, all ways telling people where to be and when. He rings out a piercing bell chime before attacking delinquents and those running late with his clock hand

Robbick A cute small bundle of dust taking the appearance of a crow, don't let its cute appearance fool you however, this Darkner loves stealing items so blow them away before you even think about checking your item menu
