43 - Storage

Error.

~~~~~

Dad and the others were asleep. Crossy had gained his aura last week, and it made people confident! He now joined the others in aura training, and I was very proud of my big brother! Actually, I was proud of all of them! They were all so cool! I..wasn't that cool. Sure, I destroyed universes, but..I didn't like killing people..it was wrong; the multiverse was mean for making me the Destroyer, but I couldn't argue..Dad said that I would be punished if I argued..and I didn't want that. So I just..did what I was told to do. I enjoyed being with my family more than destroying. Tonight, I couldn't sleep; I had destroyed five universes today..with countless billions of people. Although I didn't destroy the surfaces directly, I still destroyed them! If there was life on other planets, they were also wiped out, despite the fact that I didn't want to kill them. I lay awake, silently mourning the lives I had taken, when I heard a voice..one that I knew.

"Destroyer." The multiverse spoke to me..

"Y-yes, multiverse?" I responded, sitting up in my bed.

"It has come to our attention that you are inefficient in an aspect of your duty."

"Wh-what?!" I didn't want to die!

"It is not as serious as you believe, but it may cause future problems."

"O-oh? Then..what am I lacking in?"

"The human souls that you collect from every universe must be stored properly."

"But..we have soul jars..isn't that enough?"

"No."

"Then..where do we put them?"

"We have located a suitable storage area for the souls. In order to provide you and the Guardian of Negativity with an easily accessible point of entry, you have been granted the ability to create a portal to this place. In addition, a permanent gateway will be placed inside of your quarters in the Guardian of Negativity's castle."

"Okay.."

"That is all."

The multiverse stopped speaking after that, and I looked around my room curiously; I wanted to see the entrance to the storage area! After a minute of searching, the sound of a portal's opening behind me startled me, and I turned around, finding..a white portal. I hesitantly shuffled up to it, finding a space that looked entirely white behind it. Well, if I went back to sleep, there was a good chance that Kills would get too interested when he came to wake me up and go through, which only left staying up and exploring! With that in mind, I changed my clothes and entered the portal, where I immediately jumped back slightly, hearing..voices. The multiverse's standard punishment for me was voices that came out of nowhere, berating me for my disobedience..but these voices sounded..different. I decided to listen to them, although that was a difficult task, as most of them were indiscernible from others; they were all talking at the same time. I decided to try, nonetheless.

"No way! Phones don't need radiation sensors!"

"Yes, they do! Everyone's always got their phone with them, so it would make sense if one is in a highly radiated area for the thing to warn them!"

"But what about cupcakes? I like cupcakes!"

"Then we turn the flour into a monster worthy of recognition: a flowey! Hi, I'm Flowey the flour!"

"But what use is there for caterpillars except as a light source?"

"You idiot, everybody knows giraffes are better at the trapeze than jaguars!"
