What Went Wrong?

Chapter 6

The next day Asgore left for the capital before I even woke up, and I get up at 8 a.m every morning! What kind of weirdo gets up earlier than that... Asgore I guess. Then I woke up Asriel by jumping on his bed until he said, "Ugh... Fine I'm up! I'm up!"

We ate breakfast in a hurry and Toriel gave us lunches to bring along with us. I was finally going to see all of the Underground! I was so excited! We waved bye to Toriel and walked downstairs and left out of the large, arched, purple door. Asriel was guiding me by my hand, and we raced across the hallway. Before Asriel opened up the last door he advised me, "This place is very cold. Cold enough to freeze you right up! So just hold my hand and you won't freeze." I made a face and he must have saw it because he then said, "I have magic, remember?!"

He opened the door and wind rushed forward and froze the door handle immediately. We ventured out and he left a stick in the door space to make sure it wouldn't lock us out. We walked through a snowy tundra and I looked at all the pine trees lining the roadside. So incredibly beautiful. Then out if the corner of my eye I spotted a very small white figure wearing a white T-shirt and black baggy pants. I was about to ask who that was but when I looked back for a second look, the monster wasn't there anymore. I shook it out of my mind thinking it was probably someone who doesn't want to be seen and so I turned away and concentrated on the incredible scenery around me.

Eventually we reached a small town named Snowdin. There was monsters everywhere. I met a Snowflake that was incredible at telling jokes but his baby son... not to much, I met a little rabbit who's always wanted a dog, I met a small fireball named Grillbz or something along those lines and he wanted to open his very own restaurant someday.

There was also this mysterious house that had Christmas decorations outside of it and I felt lots of strong magic resenting from it. Asriel noticed me staring and said, "This is the Royal Scientists house. He is super strong, super smart, and works with others magic to find out about our powers. He's amazing! He pretty nice too, but very introverted. I think the only time I ever saw him was once when I was visiting my dad at his castle. His name is Dr. Gaster. If I were you I would stay as far away from him as possible. He's a bit creepy sometimes."

I had no idea if it was out if the normal to ask this but I did anyways, "What is he? I mean what kind if monster?"

Asriel laughed and said, "His family are the only skeletons in the monster world."

"Wait a skeleton? Like shaking bones? And wait a family?! There is more of them? Who are they?" So many questions.

He laughed, "Yes, a family. He has two sons. Or I should say, 'sons', nobody knows how they came about. Dr. Gaster isn't married and before them, he was the only skeleton in the Underground. People assume that he created them out of leftover magic and pieces of himself because he has holes on either side of his hands now but who knows. That's just a theory."

I blinked taking it all in. Then we turned and marched forward through the thick snow until it slowly became blue rocky ground. The scenery changed drastically from snowy tundra to a clam waterfall, river side area. But the rivers here weren't normal water, this water was a bright glowing cyan colored liquid that flowed like melted chocolate. It was like slime. This area was much warmer than Snowdin about the average temperature of the surface. Waterfall was so relaxing, I felt like I could go to sleep at anytime.

Asriel finally let go of my hand "This is the place where the flowers bloom and become bridges. Its really cool. Go ahead and try it out." Asriel paused and then quickly said, "Oh ya! You have to put them in a line of four or else they won't bloom."

I picked up the flowers and made bridges so we could cross the rivers and creeks. The magical flowers were soft and I was surprised we could step on them without sinking... magic! Remember about the magic! We then entered a corridor with a telescope and lots of shiny crystals lining the ceiling.
