The Path We Walk

Ch.15 Rules and Expectations

Nightmare opens the door and walks in. I follow into the room behind him. It was a cross between a library and an office. The whole front of the room was filled with shelves of books and different objects, with an path in the center leading to a desk and chairs. The desk was tastefully designed. It was a dark wood with jewel stars and moons around the edges. The desk chair behind it on the other hand, was basically a throne. It matched the desk with its wood and design, but it was definitely oversized. Though, the plush cushions on it looked comfortable. There were two chairs in front. They were fairly plain, and didn't match the desk. I wonder how many times Nightmare has had to replace them. I sit in one of them as Nightmare goes to his throne and sits as well. I can feel his agitation.

"Alright, we need to discuss a few things. I'll get straight to the point. Do you know what a chosen child is?" Nightmare asks me.

"Um. No, I don't." I tell him. I know that Ink and Error were one in Fgod, but I don't know what it really means.

"A chosen child is either a creation or favored being of a deity. More often then not, they are candidates for gods and guardians. Error for example, is the chosen child of Destiny. He had a sort of predisposition for divinity. He was then turned into a god of destruction by Fate through less than pleasant means. Destiny originally wanted him to be some sort of god that protects the multiverse. Which is why he can manipulate code like he can to get rid of PLAYERS." Nightmare explains.

"Ok, but what does that have to do with anything?" I ask.

"You, are a chosen child of Karma. Which means that the deity had some sort of plan for you." He tells me.

"So, your saying that this deity wants me to be some sort of a god or whatever? Why didn't they tell me this instead of you?" I ask.

"Not a lot is known about the deities other than what they reside over. They also rarely interfere. Fate is known to be the only one who does it on a regular basis. Even so, Karma is considered one of the most mysterious, more so than Void and Time. Despite being the patron deity of all Judges, they interfere the least. So for them to have a chosen child is a big deal. Error told me your Au was an original, but disguised as a copy. It was not created by Ink. Which means it's likely your Au were created by them. Which is probably why your so different than other Sans." He says.

"Ya, not exactly. Since I'm going to be here with you all, and your going to be my boss I might as well tell you. Only those closest to me know. I don't really like talking about it. But, I wasn't always a Sans." I tell hesitantly.

Nightmare looks at me in confusion, then understanding. "Your a Reincarnated." He concluded. I nodded my head.

"I know it's a thing that happens on occasion. I've read records of mage and humans being reborn. Or soulmates finding eachother again in another life. But, my case is a bit different." I say carefully.

"True. It's incredibly rare for a human to be reborn as monsters. Most don't have the love, compassion, and hope for it." Nightmare tells me.

"While true, that's not what I meant. I don't exactly come from this multiverse. Heck, I don't think I'm even from this omniverse. I can't say for sure, though. I do know monsters didn't exist where I was from." I tell him. He looks at me in surprise.

"Do you know where your from then?" He asks me.

"Well, I don't know for sure. But have you heard of a creator? And no, not Ink." I ask him with apprehension. He looks at me in shock.

"Are you saying your from the world of the creators?" He asks in awe. It made me a bit uncomfortable.

"Well, at least one of them. The greater omniverse is a big place. No way to say there's only one." I tell him.
