Inktobertale 2022 : Compilation of novels

1st of November : Welcome back

Broomie fixed-up ? Check.

Me fixed-up ? Well enough.

Unconscious Sans ? Omega Timeline, check.

Freeze both halves of this hellish pen and dump them in places as opposed as possible so that the chances of the same person finding both is infinitely unlikely ?

He stopped for a moment to look at the giant dark cube of solidified, extremely hard ink he had generated, in which the bottom half of the Staff was contained, then kicked it as hard as he could, and let it fall deep into the icy abyss hidden among Zephyrtale's mountains.

All good.

He sighed.

Only one thing left to do now.

The stars of Outertale looked a little darker than usual today. Then again, maybe Dream's pupils were just that damaged. He interrupted his stargazing when he heard footsteps approaching. He wasn't surprised, he had felt his friend's presence the very moment he had penetrated the timeline.

"Took you long enough." said the guardian of positivity with a smile.

"Hey Dream." Ink replied, as he sat next to him in the dark grass. After a while, he noticed how bruised his friend was. "You look like shit."

"So do you." chuckled Dream as he looked the skeleton up and down. "Worse than me, even though it does look like you already started patching yourself."

"I just had a horrible day."

"Oh, was it really that bad ? Put it into perspective, I'm sure some had it worse."

"Alright," started the guardian. "I just got out of facing the avatar of Erasure- totally different thing from Error, by the way-, after he absolutely destroyed me 4 weeks ago, using a magical Eraser Pen like Broomie, but evil version. So I just spent the entire month going through the most useless training arc ever, I offended Error, who wanted to kill me for having said I had a worse enemy than him, I learnt to wield spraycans, I vandalized multiple cities, I learnt what 'varnish' was, and underwent multiple identity crisises to eventually conclude that I was who I chose to be, or something. I'm too tired to remember but when I said it it sounded very cool.

Also I did all this while having to deal with some kind of split personality inside my..."

He froze.

"Inside your what ?" asked Dream.

He smiled. "Nothing. So, how about you ?"

Dream laid back, and took a deep breath. "Same as you. Not much. I took a vacation."

"Well I hope you enjoyed it, because now that I'm here, I'm sure you know what that means !"

"The Star Sanses are back ?"

"Damn right they are ! Where's Blue by the way ?"

"Too exhausted to stay, his brother yelled at me for not managing to 'keep him safe', but you know how Blue is..."

"Yeah, headfirst into the action."

There was a pause as the two looked at a group of comets dashing through the sky.

"Tell you what..." said the guardian of AUs with a smile.

"The future is looking very bright."
