Have a funny image! Anyways, hope you enjoy! Been liking writing this book a lot recently for some reason. Welp, you guys get more chapters soooo, have fun!

When Error got back and read the note... let's just say there was a cleaning day the next day, and a lot of scolding from Error.

The next few days were pretty tame. Often Error would leave to destroy, and the kids would either be left to their own devices, or be sent to Nightmare's to be watched. Error actually seemed busier than normal, but the three oldest knew it was because Ember's birthday was coming up. Even so, they were still suspicious, as Error refused to tell them anything about their birthday gift. Meanwhile, Error was getting everything set up to meet the goddess of life. He wanted to have good relations with her first, and then ask her about blessing a cat. Surly one simple cat wouldn't be that big of a deal, right?

He got a rare flower from Farmertale, potted it, and was going to give it to her as a gift, and a sign of good faith. To be honest, he always wanted to see the famed garden, but getting on a god's bad side was never a good idea, even if they weren't nearly as strong as Error. Besides, if he was on her bad side, he would never be able to give Ember their gift!

Error sighed. Reaper was out of the au, and the gang was causing negativity, at Error's request this time. Error took a deep breath in, before stepping through the portal right outside Life's domain. He did this, as to show hospitality, but he could've easily intruded unannounced and uninvited.

He walked up the the doorway, with roots, vines, and flowers growing our of it, a bit of her magic seeping out. Most weren't able to open these doors except Life herself, and gods with much much more power than her, so just him and Ink. He knocked, letting his presence be known. As he hit the edge of her domain, with a shield, keeping anything unwanted out, he noticed a rippling effect along the door, well, over the door. It was the magic reacting to his, he was getting second thoughts. Would she call for Ink and the others? What if Reaper shows up? Evem so, he steeled himself, and waited for a response.

Life was enjoying herself, looking over her plants with joy, when she felt a shockwave. Something had touched her barrier, and her magic had reacted strangly to it. It was a god, for sure. And a powerful one at that, it had to be one more powerful than her if they were able to make her barrier react this way. At first, she was scared, unsure, but then a realization struck her. Why weren't they trying to break in? It seemed they had the power to at least get close, so why didn't they? The magic seemed destructive, and pretty much opposite of hers, but she found out she quite liked S- Reaper's company, she wasn't quite sure why he preferred that name now, but he seemed happier. Reaper, the opposite of her, Life, while he was Death. He seemed like a good person, so what if they were? She decided to see for herself.

As she walked towards where the magic was felt, she was met with her doors, and spoke out to the stranger. "Hello, anyone there?" She said softly. Error was surprised, he hadn't exactly expected a response. He stuttered out his next words. "O-o-oh! Um... Hello! You are Life, correct? I've come baring gifts!..." Error said, unsure of himself. Life was surprised, and a little scared. How did they know she was here? They were baring gifts? She hoped it wasn't someone who wanted their dead loved ones back to life. Many mortals gave gifts to shrines, and prayed to her to bring their loved ones back. She was about to turn back when the voice spoke up again. "A-ah! Wait! I forgot to introduce myself! My name is Error. I am also a god, but probably not one you've heard of... heh..." Error said, nervous. He was scared to actually say was he was the god of, but she probably knew. I mean, everyone knew his name, how stupid it was for him to say she probably never heard of him! Like he needed to-. "A god? A god of what, exactly?" Life asked, curious. This confused Error. "W-what?" Error said. She didn't know? "Well, you seem to know what kind of god I am, so it seems only fair I know what kind of god you are." Life said simply, and Error stood there in silence for a few seconds, before looking around, before speaking. "Y-you promise not to tell your sans that I was here?" Error asked in a hushed tone, and the made Life even more curious. She thought for a but, before deciding. "Yes, of course." She said. After all, she doubted Reaper would ask about them anyways. Error let out a breath, still nervous, but decided to wing it. "I'm the god of..." She took note of the hesitance. "Destruction..." Error finally said.

There was nothing for a few moments, before the doors started to open, startling Error. Life walked forth, surprised by Error's looks, but spoke in a very sweet voice. "Hello Error, my name is Toriel, goddess of Life." Life said, greeting him. Eventually, Error smiled back, and walked into her domain like she beckoned.

He gave her the rare plant, one she had never seen before, and told her of the where he got it, as well as the multiverse. The two talked for a long time, enjoying eachother's company. Toriel agreed to just be called Life, and made a joke off of it, to which Error groaned in annoyance, which made Life laugh more.

Eventually, Life addressed the elephant in the room. "So, why did you come here in the first place Error? If it is to raise someone from the dead, I'm afraid I c-" Life started, before Error interupted her. "Nothing like that. It's just... okay. I have a few kids," Error started, worried to tell someone he didn't really know before today, but he had to. "And one of them had a death touch, kind of like Reaper." Error explained, and Life almost caught on. "So... do you want me to negate it, or seal it? I can't do that." "No no, I just want you to bless this cat, so when I give it to them as a birthday present, it won't immediately die." Error explained, and Life nodded. This wouldn't be too hard. "Yes, I can do that. But know, it can still die if it gets hurt or so sick it passes my magic, but my magic should give it a prolonged life." Life explained, and Error nodded. "Yes, I understand, but prolonged life and no immediate death upon touch are all I'm really looking for." Error said, smiling at at her. Life giggled, and agreed to bless the cat, but in return she gets to meet his kids. Error backed down then and there. He apologized, but explained that he was worried Reaper would show up, and call someone else, and that the two had only known eachother for, really, a day. Life understood, and explained it didn't have to be right away, just that she could meet them someday. In return, Error smiled, and promised. The two shook on it. From there, Error took his leave, promising to come back more often, even after she blesses the cat, and Life said that she couldn't wait.

Hope you guys enjoyed! It seems Life didn't know about the Multiverse, and is also more open-minded than a few others. The two will/have definitely become good friends! Hope you enjoyed! See ya guys next time! Peace!
