AxeTale - The Untold Story

ᦔꪖꪑꪀꫀᦔ

(This is a little bonus chapter that takes place place before the events of AxeTale: The Full Story, but after most of AxeTale: The Untold Story... I've had this planned for awhile cause AxeTale always pulls me back in, but my other projects are still my priority... This is just something I've had on the back burner for a bit, and wanted to get out there  - Shroud)

1 Year Before Her Story...

"......" I looked up at the Ruins Door, I had stood there about 20 minutes now..... I gently raised my hand up and knocked on it.... The cold Snowdin air always the same... If not just a bit colder... Heh... It was getting worse....

"Knock-Knock.... Old Lady...... Heh..... Y'know you're supposed to say who's there right?....." I murmured to the purple door, "I see... Huh?.... How's Frisk?... Oh she's.... She's doing fine... Y'know how she is...... She isn't 'round much anymore but we make time-..." "... Papyrus?... Oh he's.... Uh... He's fine too....." I said, holding my hands against the door...

"..... Heh... Y'know Frisk ain't a kid Toriel... You don't gotta worry so much about her like she is... But I get it... You... You see her as one of your own..."

"Huh?..... How Am I holding up?....." I mumbled under my breath before perking up, I saw a monster from the outskirts of Snowdin peaking its head out at me before scampering back, running off in fear as I sighed..... Realizing what I was doing... All these Years... Talking to the wind...... I picked up my axe from the ground and leant it on my shoulder.......... "Sorry I... I gotta head out Toriel I..... Gotta get Paps somethin' to eat........ I'll see ya around...." I grumbled, trailing off behind the monster that was peaking out at me.....

God... I don't even know what year it is anymore... Its been so long since I've had any contact with anyone with a functioning brain... That I'm starting to talk to myself... Anything to get my mind off of this damned emptiness inside... Cuz having the same like 5 conversations with Paps everyday... It drives me crazy......

Sometimes I wonder if it'd be better to put him out of his misery... If he can't even comprehend his own surroundings... Would he even be able to tell I was killing him?... Tsk... Or hell... I could go to waterfall and put Undyne down for what she did to me.........

I think these things.... Even though I know I'd never actually do it... Because of her... I've already grown so far detached from her I know I ain't seeing no pearly white gates... But... I like to think... Sticking around... Lingering around.. Waiting for her to come back one day... That maybe something will turn out right for once...

.....

It's probably just a pipe dream... But... It helps me sleep at night.... Keeping myself honoring her memory...... Still won't stop me from doing what I must to survive this damned place.... I continued lumbering off after the mysterious monster... Keeping a tight grip on my axe...

"Hey- I'm not gonna hurt ya.... Much... I really hate making you guys suffer...... Listen... I just... I want it to be over quick.... Listen... Me and my brother are starving... it ain't personal-" I mumbled as I continued following the bird-like tracks as I gritted my teeth, my eye flashing orange as I charged off in their direction, I got a quick view at the monster, scampering off into a small cave-like crevice beneath one of the many snowy mountains within Snowdin....
