Legend Of The Crow 5

"It's just funny.... That's my wish too."

The voice, the echo flower recorded, faded out in the long cave like cavern as Frisk moved to activate the next one. You and Flowey trailed behind the human child at a decent distance. Frisk was having fun actually having the time to hit all of the echo flowers instead of walking past them like in the past timelines. Flowey still wasn't sure that this run was genuine but you could sense Chara's frustration from here.

Flowey's human brother was currently floating right above Frisk as he continued on his way. Screeching and screaming at his failed attempts to possess the living human child. Frisk's blatant denial in killing anyone frustrating the twisted soul to no end. The two of you continued on through Waterfall with a rather smug look on your face at Chara's anger. It took you a minute to realize that Flowey had gone uncharacteristically quiet.

You glanced down at him to see that he was glancing back down the path that you had just followed Frisk down. A trail of now silent echo flowers in your wake. The normally creepy smile he had or face of anger was gone. His facial expression was softer. Contemplative. An idea blossomed forth in your mind and you tapped one of his yellow petals to get his attention. "Hey. Frisk is going to be wandering around here for a long time. Why don't we go to that spot we used to go too?"

"The spot?" Flowey seemed to perk up at that as you took the lead and led the way through the dark cavern. You walked through a waterfall with a hidden room that you could only access at a certain angle. With your small childlike form, you easily passed through the cracks. Anyone who was an adult would have had issues. More than likely the person would get stuck. Inside, the hidden room opened up to a small pool ringed with a couple of echo flowers.

Excited, you bounced on your feet next to Flowey who appeared to still be in his contemplative state. "You think anyone else has found this place?" Flowey just shrugs at you as you make your way over to one of the echo flowers. You gently tapped it and your voice filtered around the room.

"I promise, Asriel. I promise." It echoed for a moment before fading out. The excitement you felt grew at the fact that no one had found your little hiding spot.

"Doesn't appear to have been touched since the last time you save a bit from a reset." Flowey stated while you settled yourself in a comfortable spot on the floor. He disappears in the ground only to reappear right next you, resting his head on your knee. "To be honest, it's kind of nice."

"Isn't it? I don't think even Chara knows of this place..." You let that statement trail off and decide to change topics. Though it was true. When you two had found this place, Chara's descent into madness had already begun. Not that you had told him that at the time. It was something that you had wanted to shield Asriel from but instead he had had to face it full on countless times. You unconsciously shudder. "Soo... what were you thinkin about when we were followin Frisk, back there?"

Flowey seemed to debate even talking to you before letting out a heavy sigh. "I remember when Chara and I would come to wish on the echo flowers. We even came up with a secret coded language in case we got lost in waterfall so that we could find one another."

Shit. Looks like talking about Chara was unavoidable.

"I know! It was adorable. Though you ended up using it more than he did." Reaching a hand up, you gently stroked the petals on the top of his small head.

"Crow... will Chara be okay?"

"What do you mean?"

"Let's say that this all works and everything is fixed." Flowey eyed your hand as it continued its gentle strokes on his head. "Will Chara be able to go back to normal? Or is he to far gone?"
