"Sorry error.." The deadly skeleton said with a sorrowful expression

A beautiful garden, blooming with life that surrounded a small cabin in the middle. Out side the cabin was a toriel, siting with some tea at a small table under some shade, looking out at the field of flowers before sighing and looking back a crossed the table where another seat lay.

She hadn't seen her friend in quite a while, he said he was gonna look for geno again just in case he was still around due to his soul not making its way to life. She took a sip of tea before looking back up as a familiar portal open not to far away on her rock path to her cabin. She smiled as her friend stepped out, although her smiled somewhat dropped as she saw the saddened and downcast expression of the male, assuming he didnt find his lost loved one she spoke "you didn't find him did you..I'm sorry" her soothing voice made him look slightly shaking his head.

"Well it's not just that.. I umm I kinda killed error.." the reaper said rubbing his arm like a kid knowing their in trouble, Life paused not expecting to hear of the destroyer's death.

She was slowly processing the information he said staring at his face with in unreadable expression, before bringing her hands up to her face and taking a beep breath. "You what." Life asked staring directly into the reaper's sockets. Reaper looked to the side not facing the motherly figure as life just stood there trying to process what was just dumped on her.

Life sighed sitting back down in her chair, "I thought you said you couldn't kill him?" Life said motioning for him to sit down as well, once he was seated he began telling her about his trip and then him stumbling upon the destroyer, life nodding here and there showing that she understood. "-and then I touched his soul for a moment and it shattered!" Reaper yelled out at his friend, while life just smiled softly at him. His worry quickly subsiding and turning to confusion "w-why are you smiling?" He asked afraid of the answer he was gonna get. "Oh reaper.. he was already dying for the sounds of it, you just sped up the process." Life said with a sad smile, reaper paused shocked "what?.."

"I know it may seem like you killed him and you panicked because you saw him as a friend but he was dying before you got there. how about I go look for his soul in my book, how does that sound?" Life asked her friend who nodding softly before remembering something.

"Wait his soul shattered how could it be with you? And also what about the whole string situation that happened?.." reaper asked making life pause "well one of the shards or the whole soul would have made it back, I'm not sure of the whole sting situation though.. will have to research about it, maybe it was a blessing or curse from him, who knows." Life said with a shrug as she stood up and started walking to the cabin. Reaper sighed as he watched her close the door behind her and looking back at his hand, were a faint glow came from where the string went making him confused.

He stood up and floated over to life's door opening it before entering, still looking at his hand. "Hey life, my hands glowing where the string was.. should I be worried?" Reaper asked as he walked to the kitchen where life was holding her book looking up from it to see him look at her. "..does it hurt?" Life asked as she placed her book down and e walked over to him.

"No?" Reaper said well more like asked as life took his glowing hand to examine it, but before she could look at it a bright light erupted throughout the cabin blind them when the glowing died down the couldn't believe what they saw..
