Error sat alone in the white emptiness of the anti-void as he processed many things.

It was the holidays, especially Christmas. But it was around this time of year that Ink got very festive along with creativity running free. AU's popping up with some becoming corrupted easily. Error has to go overboard every year and never has the time to celebrate with his family and few friends. But Error still held onto his Holiday Spirit as he cherished the few gifts that he got every year from those that loved him.

But everyone got busy this year and Error is almost always alone or even shooed away from those that knew him. Error has destroyed his quota but the confrontation with Ink this day has made Error think more than he was supposed to.

"Why would anyone be with you, glitchy? Your just a stain on this Multiverse and NOBODY likes you. You ruin everything from the moment you arrive, you're just make everything go wrong wherever you go. Why would anybody care about that when everyone wants happiness? The fact that you ruin everything proves that you're not wanted. So go back to the White Hell and Stay where you belong, glitch fucker."

The voices of the white hell whisper and shout to him but his mind was stuck on those simple words. Error felt his bones rattle softly as he summoned a one-way portal so he can see others but no one can see him. He watched as everyone smiled at others, give food or gifts, he watched as those he knew smile with happiness and spirit. He felt his soul sink as he saw how everyone was so happy without him, how they seemed more joyful or full of the Christmas Spirit.

He felt something start to shatter in him, he felt as the object broke into dust and blew away. He knew that the last of his fragile Holiday Spirit was gone.

He was well and truly alone.

The being felt themselves stop as they looked out to the stars as their elves stopped dancing and looked to their Lord. The large being breathed a large huff of air as he pulled out a crystal orb that showed Error all alone in his white hell. The being calmly viewed how Error lost his spirit while the elves watched on too.

Some elves felt pity for the black skeleton while some wanted to 'gift' a few others with some gifts. All of a sudden, the Lord let out a dark bellow laugh that made the elves confused until their Lord used his magic to show what he wanted.

Many elves laughed while others cheered for the 'retribution' for the black skeleton.

All knew that this Holiday would make others finally see the harm they did.

Maybe they can get a new 'brother' or something more if the black skeleton impressed their Lord just enough.

Everyone soon started to prepare as their Lord summoned his ancient magic for a safe journey against alternate universes.

The Ancient being smiled as he felt Fate try and stop him but he easily broke the strings as he looked at the black skeleton then looked back at the other AU's and gave a wicked smile.

Time for a Merry Christmas, right?

Error gave a sneeze as he sniffled slightly and looked back at the AU's then calmly stopped using the magic. He crawled to his bean bag and laid on it as he curled up while the voices remained oddly silent. Error just curled on the bean bag as he let his mind 'blank' out as he let himself come to terms with what he let go of.

Just then, the sound of a portal opened. Error looked up as he saw Nightmare come out of the negative feeling portal. Error quickly masked his internal feelings as he sat up for Nightmare. He gave a fake cheery smile that not even Nightmare can see through.

"Nightmare!!!! What brings you here?"

Nightmare smiled at Error but if you looked closely you can see the slight teal magical blush in his face through the goop.

"Sorry Erry, the Council decided to call a truce this year for Christmas. All of us are to gather in this AU for the holiday or they will find us to take us their against our will."

Error blinked at Nightmare but ultimately he decided to go. This may be a trap but Error didn't want to be alone. His Holiday Spirit was gone but Error wanted those he protected to be happy and so he went to the AU with Nightmare. When both went through the portal did both see Nightmare's gang in a snowball fight with the Council with the gang winning by a large margin.

Error felt himself laugh slightly as Nightmare got nailed in the face. Error watched as everyone got more into the while he went into the large mansion that would hold everyone. He stopped in the kitchen to spot a gingerbread house that held three little gingerbread men. Error grabbed one gentle and lightly traced its little features.

Error felt some of his holiday spirit spark and start to reform but quickly stop once he remembered Ink's words. Error got out of his little trance as he spotted the gingerbread men holding a box that was held out towards him. He gently put the gingerbread man down next to his friends and opened the box.

In the box was a glass orb full of red sand/dust/glittery something that was sealed. A black ribbon was the place where the ribbon replaced the chain for a usual necklace. Error felt himself softly smile as he put the necklace around his neck. He looked at the gingerbread as his holiday spark started to return.

"Thank you."

He looked to the living room when he heard some noises but looked back to the gingerbread man to see they were gone. Error blinked lightly but ultimately chuckled as he walked out of the kitchen.

Even though his spark has returned.

It was already too late.

The being has arrived and has marked the end.

The end of what?

It is unknown but Error is right in the middle along with everyone else in the mansion.

Saint Nickalous has abandoned them to allow another to take the reins of this sleigh.

Lord Krampus has arrived today,

and he won't leave till a lesson is learned.
