You may think I'm overreacting, but you try getting yelled at by a freaking skeleton. It's not going to make you feel better. Honestly, I get it. I look like a fucking brat right now, but I'm so pissed.

"Wow," I grumbled, walking into Grillby's. "What a douche."

"Who?" Grillby asked me, coming over and cleaning the counter in front of me.

"Sans! He's being such an ass about such little things. Like, okay, maybe I messed up, but why did he get so mad about it? I didn't know. I'm new the to Underground!"

Grillby nodded, "I see. Is there anything you'd like to order?"

I shook my head, "no, I'm going for a walk." I stood up off the bar stool and walked back out. I put my hands in my pockets and walked. Just walked. No destination in mind, I just wanted to walk.

I walked and walked until I couldn't feel my legs and then I walked some more. I walked as my stomach growled and I walked as my tongue felt like sandpaper in my mouth. I walked and I walked until I got to the edge of the Underground.

Well, not the edge, just the judgement hall. Where the fight between Chara and Sans happens. I walked around and saw there was a doorway at the end of the hall. I walked there and opened the door.

I was met with a hallway, and I walked through there too. And then there was a room full of golden flowers. There was a large throne like seat in the middle of the room. There were patches of light in random spots on the floor.

"Hello?" I called out, tiptoeing to the edge of where the flowers start.

"Oh! Hello! I wasn't expecting anyone at the moment." a large man said from another doorway. He looked kind of like Toriel, except he had a beard and large horns. Is this who Papyrus and Sans was talking about? Is this the king?

"Oh, hi. I'm sorry to burst in uninvited."

"It's fine. I love when people stop by randomly. But, I've never seen you before. Who may you be?"

"Um, I'm Skylar. Yeah, I'm new. I kind of fell down here not too long ago. I just wandered around and found this place."

The man nodded, "alright, well, I'm Asgore. I am the kind of the Underground. How do you like it down here?"

I nodded, "the monsters here are very nice."

Asgore smiled, "I'm glad. I always hoped Tori and I would teach them to be nice." He looked sad after he said that. "But, then something happened. And she left."

"What happened?" I asked.

He sighed and sat down on the throne and I sat on the floor beside him. I looked up and he continued talking. "Well, do you know about Chara?" I nodded. "Well, something happened, and she died. I heard a legend from somewhere that if you collect enough human souls and combine them with a strong monsters' soul that you could unlock the barrier that locks us down here. I was so concerned about the safety for the other monsters I didn't realize what it was doing to Tori. She was so distant from me, and she was so upset about what I was doing."

"What exactly were you doing?"

"I was killing the children that fell down here. I was harvesting their souls to unlock the barrier."

"Oh," I said very quietly, looking down.

"It's bad, I know! I did it for the greater good, I promise!"

"I understand that. It's alright if you don't do it anymore."

He sighed in relief, "thank you for understanding."

I nodded and the door behind me opened. I turned to see Chara walk into the throne room. "Chara?" I asked.

"Ah, Chara! I wasn't expecting you! Would you like some tea?"

"No thank you. Could I speak to Skylar alone?" Asgore nodded, "alright. Come on, Sky."
