Chapter 4 🍃🍁

(Sage) POV

"That was a nice sleep." I say while stretching my hands above my head. As I open my eyes, "what the... WHERE THE HELL AM I?!??" I look around to see a forest that has trees that tower over me. "Shut up. It's way to early for this..." says a nearby voice with a tired groan. I turn to face the voice and see a skeleton? "What. the. HELL!?" Pointing towards the skeleton.

"Ugh... didn't you hear what the fucking voice"
"Voice?"
"Yea...?"
"The one that called me a child?"
"Yea"
"I.. uh... went back to sleep..."
.....

"So this is what they meant when they said I probably would be explaining..." muttered the skeleton. Now that I think about it, I look down towards my hands and see BONES! "oh," I snapped my head to see the skeleton looking at their hands, I should asked for their gender, "I guess this is my body" Says the skeleton.

Huh did you not know it was your body?

"Anyway my name is Ember, your name is Sage."
"It's my name! Why do you get to decide?" I yelled with confusion.
"IT WAS THE NAME THAT WAS GIVEN!"
"BY WHO?!"
"I GUESS THE VOICE THAT JUST MADE US"
"huh, made us?" I asked confused.
"Our bodies, unless that was your original body." Says Ember, while turning their back to me. I should really ask for their pronouns.

"Hey, umm what are your pronouns?" I asked watching as they turned to me with a confused look. "I haven't decided, since we're skeletons I don't even know if we have genders given." Ember said while glaring at me. "I was a human girl before, but I don't mind going by He/Him," said while squinting at me. "Same, but I'm pretty sure I'm dead either because of my friend cooking or because of the fire she caused."

"Um, why are you glaring at me?" "I'm trying to CHECK ." "Check? Check what?" There was a pause as he look at me. "Do you know Undertale?" "Ye but I don't know what it has to do with this." "You don't know about AU?s"
"OH, I watched Underverse before, but it's be a long time"
"So you don't know Dreamtale" "I heard about dream sans! but just that he fights the nightmare sans" I say while watching his expression turn somewhat annoyed.

He reminds me of my bestie. Especially when she talks about her favorite fanfic and anime. I did watch some of the anime she talks about but stop watching it since I started watching YouTuber's, just let her give me all the spoilers. I won't understand it anyways.

"Ok." I snapped out of my thoughts.
"I'll explain the basics of what's going on since, and since our appearance is similar to nightmare sans-" I cut him off

"what do you mean nightmare? Don't we look like dream?" 

"We look like nightmare before he ate the fruits of negativity after being pushed to the edge." Says Ember while continuing ", I'm  not sure if we are alternates of the tree of feelings. Though I'm pretty sure we not..." says ember, who then explains that we are guardians to a tree that bears fruit that seem important.

So I protect the fruit of vitality and he protects the fruit of knowledge. There a balance, but he doesn't know if it has a proper name like the balance of feelings or something.

I look up towards the tree with two colored fruits that look like an apple. They look shiny... wonder if they glow in the dark... "hey which apple is the one I'm protecting?" I asked "the green one," he said "I protect the red one."

"How can you tell?" I asked since I don't know. "The color of your clothes." He say while looking at with a face that seem to be mocking me. "I'm pretty much going by how the guardian of feelings identify themselves." He continues while he started walking around the area.

I followed him to a nearby pond. Wonder if there's any fish. I see him crouch down near the edge and looking at his reflection. "So this is what I look." He mutters.

I go next to him to see what I look like and and grin at what I see

"Hey we're like twins" I said with excitement.
"I call dibs on being older" I say quickly
"OH NO YOU DON'T" he yells.

We start arguing about who's older.
