As we reached the void, a bright light flash reminding me how I joined this world happened again. It felt like I just got teleported somewhere else.

When I opened my eyes, I was now in a church. The windows were magnificent, all showing the now known Delta Rune symbol, wings, a circle for a face, and three triangles under, surely for the body and arms.

Our first reaction, pushed by curiosity was to explore the surrounding, so we decided to go outside.

It was different than the citadel but, still, a charming place.

Birds were singing in the yellow leaves oaks forest around what seems to be a town.

As we were about to look around, the Angel was worried about the knight.

Angel-"I can't just wander around the lightner world! They shouldn't know that their goddess exist for real! They will all ask for wishes or I don't know what. "

Gerson-"Don't you have some magic to hide yourself?"

Angel-"Ha! I Recognize here how peoples invent and deform the reality. Whereas it is true, that I have some divine power to travel between worlds or hear prayers and answer them; I can't teleport or make anyone invisible.

-Just distract the lightners. I will try to pass through trees and be discreet. In worst scenario, say I am a friend in a costume."

Player-"Does anyone told you, you are kind of chill for a goddess?"

Angel-"I... I think I just got accustomed to how the citizens of those worlds speak. I am old after all. I don't see the point into being ruthless or violent if not needed."

The Delta Guardians then progressed through the town. As they pass a sign, indicating surely the name, "Hometowm", they pass in front of the town hall, notice a police station, a shop owned by a skeleton...

Player-"Pwahaha! Hey! This building is a library, but they wrote librarby!"

Gerson-"I hope they are aware of this."

Some adult voices shouting "Gerson" started of being heard along a feminine one, intrigued.

Behind us, were coming a yellow lizard woman, a goat girl wearing a purple robe and a reindeer woman wearing a mayor suit.

Gerson-"Let me introduce those peoples to you, all three were my students when I was a teacher. Firstly you have Toriel, an amazing goat baking the best pies I know.

-Next to her, that yellow lizard is Ms Alphys, a brilliant student, she loves science but also anime. And finally, the mayor of this town I suppose?"

Toriel-"Gerson! You are all right! We thought you were.... you disappeared....."

Alphys-"Huh.... are you fine?  ..... it was worrying."

Gerson-"Should have told all of you, but you know me, a dreamer. Arf. Who like to write fictions and explore new horizons to complete the Lord of the Hammer series. Mwef. I had an opportunity to inspire myself in a new place that I couldn't have missed."

Toriel-"Oh! And how it went?"

Gerson-"Excellent! I hope the school isn't too hard to take care of."

Alphys-"The students hmm are interesting. Some others makes me worry, Susie.... Kris.... but we do have good ones carrying the group like Berdly and Noelle!"

Gerson-"Could I return in my old classroom? I have a few objects of myself to recover? You may wonder who are those two persons. They are my assistants!"

Toriel-"Of course, come, we can also talk to your assistants inside, they are behaving well, did you threaten them? Hahaha."

Then, the group entered the school.

Toriel-"The mayor had to go, Carol Holiday is very busy preparing the festival coming next week, and well, she keep telling about my ex, Asgore.

-That she will close his flower shop if not generating more benefices..."

Gerson-"I will pass by his shop later! We are kind of short in time."

Toriel-"Thank you he will appreciate. If you need help, me and Ms Alphys are in our classrooms."

The trio then went further in the school corridor, reaching a second intersection, the Knight indicated it should be at the right.

Player-"Should be here? Let me open the door."

What was the surprise when we saw that behind the door, instead of a basic classroom... it was a total void! Black. Nothingness. Like an infinite tunnel going deeper and deeper in the dark.

Gerson-"Darker yet Darker... yup this is the portal, let's dive in."

After that remark, the trio entered it. The darkness feeling our vision like when we fall asleep.

Suddenly, I felt wind on my face. I opened my eyes again.

The sky was black. We were now in a middle of a forest of red leaves trees, they were different than the ones of the citadel. The grass was purple, which is quite unusual.

At distance, we saw a strange drop shaped blue little kid, and we thought, why not asking him about the king?

Player-"Hello, little blue kid. We are looking for the King."

Lancer-"The name's Lancer! Ho ho ho. My dad? Why would you see my dad? Who are you? Lightners?"

Gerson-"We passed more time in the Dark World so we don't really consider ourselves Lightners. We need to warn him about the security of the kingdom."

Lancer-"You look funny. Yup! I can bring you to him! But... you see... he isn't really talkative."

As the newly encountered character tell them about its hobbies which are basically riding a bike and pretending to be a bad guy; they pass through those fields of purple grass, that he refers as Fields of Hopes and Dreams.

Player-"Hey tell me, what are those monsters? The diamond head, the heart guard and so on?"

Lancer-"Ho? The Darkners? They are the army of my dad, they represent four main groups, diamond, heart, clover and spade."

Player-"Like card game..."

Gerson-"Indeed. You see, it makes sense, as some Darkners may come from objects such as card deck in Light world. Don't forget. The two worlds are connected."

Lancer-"Hey... tell me! You don't want to close our fountain like in that Dark Prince prophecy?"

Angel-"No. The contrary. We protect the fountains. We are the Delta Guardians."

The kid was displaying relief as we were now passing on a massive checkerboard made of red and black tiles.

Lancer-"This is the great board, guarded by ponmans. After, we must again pass through the forest and we will arrive at my dad castle.

-Actually... I lose myself every-time in the Scarlet Forest. I have an idea. The star birds could carry us to the castle!"

As we exit the Great Board, we notice those strange birds. Could they be called birds? They have wings linked to what is their body and face, a star with eyes.

Lancer-"Don't worry! Ho ho. Will be fun. They pick us with their mouth an let's go!"

Those birds were incredibly strong, we were scared of falling, but the excitement to discover this mysterious castle erased our fear.
