#underlegend

Everyone looked over to the two humans in the room. Frisk was holding flowey who looked a little confused and baffled. The room fell silent.. intense glares were sent between chara and the older skeleton. They were both on edge. Frisk looked at Toriel with a small smile and said “mom can you please leave the room for a moment?” Toriel looked a little worried and asked “Will everything be alright my child?” she was worried for the safety of all of them. With a nods from frisk she exited the room and went down towards the kitchen to bake some pie. Frisk watched silently to what was about to happen. Chara got closer to the other skeleton and tried to introduce herself as nicely as she could, “hi there, I believe I haven’t introduced myself.. my names-“ “I don’t care what your name is… all I have to know is that you humans destroyed our home and took everyone away from us!” the older skeleton shouted and took on a defensive position. His brother glaze tried to calm him down but to no use. His outburst made chara mad however she tried to control herself. “look that incident happened a very long time ago so-“ yet again she was interrupted. “a very long time ago huh?! Then tell me why do you look almost exactly the same?!” it was clear that tensions are high between chara and the other skeleton. He had outright attacked chara as soon as he finished his sentence. Quickly chara tried to dodge and attack back when glaze suddenly screamed out “NO ATTACKS INSIDE THE HOUSE!!” he was upset that his brother would do something like that without getting to know the humans first. This managed to stop the physical attacks that were coming from the two. Frisk being a worried sister and a good friend decided to use their magic to check on their hp to make sure that they are alright. She wore a face of shock for a moment before continuing to watch the older two. Chara tried again despite being annoyed “…my name is chara…” she reached her hand out for a hand shake hoping that she won’t get attacked again. Surely enough the skeleton took her hand and held it tightly just as chara was. “Name’s sans.. but call me Frost instead…” they both tried to keep their smiles up. The younger duo tried to get their elder siblings to get to know each other better which had back fired and soon enough the room was flying with words and insults. Papyrus sighed and looked over to frisk who was standing there holding flowey who was amused by what’s going on in the room “do you think they’ll ever be friends?” he asked frisk. Frisk was silent for a moment before getting an idea “I have an idea!” she quickly placed flowey on the night stand and made sure he wouldn’t fall off “cover your eyes flowey” she said before going between chara and sans while glaze stood back next to flowey who had shit his eyes and turned around just in case. She stared for a few seconds trying to get their attention. When that didn’t work she tried calling a few times. But when that didn’t work she started to get mad. Her aura seemed to have gone dark and overwhelming. This caused chara and frost to look over to her. Chara knew that they messed up and that they would regret it. Tears started forming in her eyes when she saw the look on frisk’s face. Frisk was making her creepy face with her eyes wide open. Frost couldn’t understand what was going on but he know it would end bad for them. “no…” Frisk started adding authority to her voice causing chara and Frost to shrink down in fear when suddenly she shouted “F I G H T I N G, got it?” her sudden outburst caused chara to start crying in fear and most definitely scared sans to the Pont of coming completely still and silent. The two ended up cuddling in the corner of the room crying their eyes out. Frisk returned to her happy self and looks other glaze who stood next to frisk dumbstruck and worried. “will they be ok?” he asked and with a firm nods from frisk she went and picked up flowey from the nightstand who was shaking in fear. “come on! I can smell pie!” Frisk said before heading downstairs for pie with papyrus.

(Just a reminder that glaze= papyrus and frost = sans)

A soothing melody was resonating through a house… a calm sweet melody of home… by this time in the morning people and monsters were outside playing with the snow… people and monsters live happily together again.

A monster was humming as she made pie for her children. Swiftly she placed the uncooked pie into the oven to bake when the front door opened up to reveal a human child walk in “we are home!” in their hands, another monster -a flower- spoke up.

“is the pie ready yet?” he had sounded a little annoyed. His blue petals reminded the monsters of the echo-flowers down in the underground station waterfall area. The child walked inside and closed the door before she shook off some of the snow from her striped coat, scarf and brown-red hair.

“no, not yet, Asriel” the monster from the kitchen replied as she walked out and sat on the couch by the fire. “was your walk fun?” she asked the both of them.

This earned her two completely different answers; “yes! It was very lovely! We got to play with some humans and monsters on the way home!” replied the human child.

“no. It was horrible. Why would you take a plant to a snowball fight? And I told you to stop calling me Asriel, mom! It’s Flowey now… remember?” said the Flowey the flower; earning a giggle from his human companion.

“but you you got to admit that the sun feels nice, right?” said the child.

With a sigh from flowey, he said “…yeah.. you’re right… I guess… the sun was nice… thanks for taking me out today frisk..”

Frisk smiles and hugged the flower and hold his pot close once she had sat down on the ground next to the goat monster “hey, mom? Can you tell us the story of the frozen tombs?” she asked looking up to her adoptive mother with a huge smile.

“oh! Oh! Can you do it with the voices, please?” begged flowey. He seems to really like it when she does.

The monster chuckled lightly “very well.. I will do it with the voices.” This gained a cheer from both flowey and frisk.

From the door of the living room, a woman came walking out from the doorway. She had dark brown hair and was also wearing a striped sweater with blue pant to match her blue and yellow sweater. She looks at the three people sitting in front of her and asked “what’s with stories and voices?”

Flowey was the first to speak up amongst the group to greet the lady “howdy chara!” he said with a happy grin.

Frisk smiled seeing her older sister came and sat next to her “Toriel is about to tell us the story of the frozen tombs-!” Frisk said excited with flower cutting her off by saying “with voices!”

Chara blinked her eye at frisk and flowey and giggled a little “this old story again? You know it’s just a legend right?”

Toriel smiled at her children and got their attention “children please… do you wish to hear the story or not?” this got a nods from all three of them. “alright then… let us start…” the room had fallen quiet to let Toriel continue her stories of the frozen tombs.

Filled with determination chara started her hike back up to the frozen mountain’s peek. She had made sure that no one is to know of where she is going or why she is to go there. Her intents and motives are unclear however the determination in her eyes shine as brightly as ever before.

Her mission was as clear as day. She had to go back down to the underground… she just had to… there was a dreadful feeling of fear and anxiety that she wanted to prove wrong… a feeling that something is about to happen…

She kept thinking of what this feeling could be.. was it a warning? A calling? She did not know. All she knew was that all her questions will be answered at the mountain’s frosted top. Soon her feet touched the called soil at the foot of the mountain. She looked up at the peek and thought ‘it’s colder than what I remember…’

Yet the freezing cold did not bothered her. She was used to the cold my now. Slowly but surely she made her way up the mountain, eventually reaching the peek where a cave was that had a hole in the center that lead to the ice covered world below her.

“it’s now or never..” she mumbled to herself and prepared to jump but just a second before she did she heard it. The dripping of water. It was soft but it echoed through the caves and into her ears. The water dripped in a sort of rhythm catching chara off guard when she didn’t notice that the place she was standing on was unstable and collapsed.

Hurdling down chara went unable to stop her fall but luckily for her, the patch of flowers crushed her decent preventing serious injuries just like before when she and frisk had first fallen down into the underground.

Carefully she sat up and looked around, inspecting the area to see if anything had changed. Nothing was any different than when she first came here… the walls are still coated in ice.

“so far so good…” she mumbled to herself while she stood up and started walking deeper into the ruins. She walks for a while and makes sure everything is alright in the ruins then goes to the frozen tombs last… getting closer to the tombs she starts hearing dripping noises yet again but this time it’s clear..

She starts to run hoping that it isn’t what she was thinking… the closer she got the louder the dripping became… and the more pain her right eye was in… yet that didn’t keep her away from finding out what’s causing the noise. She was determined.

Slowly she came to a halt and placed her cold hands in her pockets for warmth after carefully sneaking her way through the cracks in the walls. She stood there staring with a frown… in front of her was a giant ice cube… inside it were two skeleton monsters that seemed to have been encased just before an attack had hit… the bigger one has a gaping wound in his right eye while he protected the smaller one…

Chara’s eye started to hurt badly yet she still got closer to it and touched it… that’s when she noticed the water on the floor and part of the coat the bigger monster dangling outside of its cold ice prison. She inspected the ice for a little While when she saw the elder skeleton blink. That’s when the ice around the two started to thaw at an incredible rate causing chara to back away.

The ice prison started to melt away at an incredible rate causing chara to back away from it. From the ice emerged two skeleton monsters coughing and gasping for air. The bigger one seems to have been injured. His right eye socket was completely damaged… the younger one didn’t seem much hurt at all however she was very worried for the other.

“b-brother… i-I’m scared…” the smaller once managed to say after a fit of coughs… his bones had started to rattle and shake as if he was shivering. The older one soon calmed down and looked at his brother . “i-it’ll be fine p-paps…” he managed to say while gasping from his breath… they didn’t seem to have noticed chara yet and for that she was greatful.

Chara got up quickly in a panicked state and started heading towards the exit of the ruins. This must have notified the skeletons that they weren’t alone causing the older one to react and attack chara with a barrage of attacks.

Unable to do much she tried her best to dodge and eventually she managed to put up her barrier once down on the ground to prevent her from getting hit any more. The smaller skeleton managed to stop his brother from hurting chara more than she already is. “brother stop!” the little on shouted standing between chara and his brother to stop him from attacking.

“paps… g-getter our of the way…” he managed to say before fainting and collapsing on the floor causing the smaller one to panic.

Upon seeing this chara rushed over to the two skeletons and asked the smaller one “is he alright?” as she called Toriel for help in bringing the two back up to the surface.

“h-he was hurt… b-badly..” was all the little one could say to chara. She stayed with the two to make sure that they were both safe and that neither of them bit the dust. After half an hour of keeping the older skeleton alive chara tried to befriend the smaller one… this eventually led him to becoming more open with her. Soon they started hearing footsteps. Someone was running towards them.

——

It had been several days since the awakening of the skeleton brothers. Duribg this time chara and frisk managed to get to know the little skeleton named papyrus and they came to know more about what had happened many years ago.

Soon the older skeleton soon started to open his eyes… he was in a house, on a bed with his brother right next to him asleep. Just then Toriel came in to find him sitting up in bed. “oh my.. you must be up yet my child…” she tried to get him to get back to rest but it didn’t work.

Upon hearing the commotion frisk and chara went up to check up on the two mysterious monsters only to find the younger one scolding the older one about how bad it was to get up when seriously injured and not fully healed yet!

“glaze?” Frisk questioned watching them causing all attention to shift towards the two humans upon calling the nickname given to the young papyrus.

Toriel cleared her throat before she started the tale of the frozen catacombs. She smiled seeing the exited looks on frisk and flowey’s faces… they loved the story even after listening to it a few times already.

“a long, long time ago… in a time before the war between the humans and monsters… there was a powerful tribe of monsters that had already inhabited the frozen wastelands of the underground… they were the strongest race of monsters.. however their numbers were small… they are known as the skeletons” Toriel said in a way to get the kids exited however chara didn’t look as excited as her sister her their flowery friend

“around that time the humans and monsters lived peacefully under the rule of both kings… they were great friends!” Toriel started again “they ruled together in harmony… but one day… there was an attack on the skeletons that lived underground.. they were ambushed by a group of powerful human magicians and dark knights… many of the skeletons tried to reason with them only to get themselves killed while the others tried to fight back… but they were too strong… and the entrance to their home came apart ”

“what happened next?” asked flowey when Toriel stopped to catch her breath. This made frisk upset for cutting Toriel off.

“the skeletons lost and a war broke out between the two races… both kings knew that neither one of them launched an attack on the other race and so they had to stop the fighting… the human king summoned two of his best white mages that saw nothing good in the war and asked the king of the monsters to gather his people in order for them to be kept underground until the fighting had stopped..” Toriel reached over and picked up her mug of jasmine tea and took a sip.

“after gathering the monsters the two white mages casted a powerful magic spell onto the monsters that would keep them underground until they were freed. The human king was generous enough to have given the monsters the supplies necessary for them to make a temporary home… but one day while waiting for the human king to give them more supplies to build with a message was found saying that the human king was killed in an accident and that the humans could no longer support the monsters under the rule of their new king…”

Frisk gave Toriel a look of worry and sadness as for flowey he had tears in the corners of his eyes, they really liked the personality of the peaceful human king..

“and then what happened?” Chara asked trying to lighten the mood which earned her a shush from both frisk and flowey, this made Toriel chuckle lightly.

“the monsters were devastated and wanted to go out from the underground’s frozen wastelands… they needed to figure out how the skeletons managed to live there so the monsters spend months recovering the pieces of the entrance but when they got in… there was nothing but ruins and dust… the once mightily skeleton tribe was completely wiped out… or so they thought… after a long time of searching they found something… a tome of sorts in the cracks of the icy walls… in there, in cased in a powerful ice barrier magic were two young skeletons… and above them were ancient writings…” Frisk and flowey seemed very interested now chara was starting to get curious on what the writing said… Toriel never really said what they meant before.

“I think it’s time for you three to finally learn of what it spoke of…. it read ‘two angels will fall and release the imprisoned in this ice frozen tome’ we believe that these two are the last survivors of the ambush on the skeletons… we knew we couldn’t let them be unguarded so I took it upon myself to go there and check know them as their caretaker…” Toriel smiled at them gently “now who wants some pie?” she asked immediately getting a response from frisk and flowey.

“I’ll eat later! I have some things I must do..” Chara said getting up and getting her coat to head outside. She faces the direction of the mountain where the monsters once called it home, Mt Ebbot.

Chara was filled with determination to go up there again… ‘let’s hope my guts are wrong for once… I have a bad feeling about this…’ she though before starting her journey up Mt Ebbot again.
