Ink opened his eyes as he looked around to see that he was alone once again. A mystical female voice spoke in a loud echoing tone.
"Return to where you have begun to find the first clue to your quest," They said.
"'Return to where you have begun'?" Ink echoed. "There are many beggings... What do they mean..?" Ink mumbled to himself. "The only begging I have is... Oh! The anti-void!" Ink smiled as he stood up, opening a portal to the blank anti-void. He stepped through to find a piece of paper laying peacefully on the ground. Ink bent down and picked up the paper and read it aloud. "They say the Error's a glitch yet the Creator is not, find your way back to where they came together," He read. Ink stared at the paper for a few moments. "Where did Error and I meet? Umm..." Ink sat down in thought. "I think it was OuterTale!" He burst out as he jumped up, quickly opening another portal. Ink rushed through the portal, eager to find his next clue. Laying on the soft grass near the edge of the cliff was a ring. Ink picked it up, it was a sliver ring with a tiny rainbow jewel placed in the middle. "My wedding ring? What's this for?" Ink questioned as he inspected the ring. "Oh!" Ink exclaimed as he saw another ring laying next to his feet, a string hung loosely from it. This one was also silver yet it had no jewels, only fancy engravings on the outside like Ink's had. "What do I do with these?" Ink asked himself. A piece of paper drifted down from above and landed in Ink's hands. "Unite..?" He read. Ink took the string from the second ring and wound it through the first then tied it together. The Creator gasped as the rings started glowing and lifted out of his hands. Suddenly a flash of white came from the rings, bathing Ink's world in another bland white.
"You have saved one..." The same voice from before said as Ink's world came back into focus. He was still in OuterTale and the same piece of paper lay in his hands, yet is said something different now.
"I love you, my sweet little sun drop, your eyes shine like- Okay what is this, a love poem?!" Ink questioned to the sky, but of course got no answer. "Fine, I love you, my sweet little sun drop, your eyes shine like the brightest stars, and your smile is my sun and moon. Meet me under the tree in his AU and I'll show you my love for you,
-Your true love-" The name at the end was scratched out and smudged. "But who is he?" Ink asked as he re-read the note. Suddenly a memory flashed in Ink's mind.

"Jammy, what is this?!" Ink growled as he held up the note to his son.
"N-nothing!" PaperJam squeaked fearfully.
"Why would anyone write this-this garbage?!" Ink's expression looked furious. "Who wrote this?!" Ink glared at the paper, as if expecting it to answer.
"U-umm... F-fresh wrote it..." PaperJam mumbled.
"What?!"

"Maybe I was too harsh about that..." Ink mumbled to himself. "Well at least I remember who wrote it... But who was he talking about??" Ink questioned. "Can I have another hint...?" He asked, looking towards the sky. After a while of nothing happening Ink huffed and spoke again. "Fine, is there an important tree anywhere?" Ink's shoulders fell in disappointment. "Well there's a big tree in my empty AU," Ink said, opening another portal to his old AU. The Creator soon found himself staring up at the old tree that seemed to be the only living thing around anymore, once his AU had life, yet now it was all gone. Dangling off of one of the tree's strong limbs was a certain parasite's glasses, their pattern displayed brightly and proudly. Ink reached up, trying desperately to get to the glasses, yet they were still out of his small reach. Ink grumbled as he went off to find a rock he could drag over to the tree.
"Hurry up... They're coming..." The voice spoke again.
"I'm tryin' here!" Ink replied angrily. Suddenly the tiny skeleton froze as a loud siren filled his ears. "W-what the..?" Ink mumbled as he stood up fully. "M-maybe I should h-hurry," Ink's tone quickly grew fearful as he grabbed a rock and started rushing back to the tree. He set the rock near its base as the siren continued to blare, the Creator stood on top of the rock and once more reached for the glasses. "Ah-ha!" He cried triumphantly, he gasped as he covered his mouth, the glasses dangling from his other hand. Something big was behind him, slowly coming closer, its feet thumping loudly on the ground. Ink was hesitant to turn around to face what might be his death. The Creator peeked over his shoulder only to scream in horror. Standing there, a bloody, mushy mess was what looked like a human amalgamate. The meaty creature looked like it had been horribly mangled by some terrible torture device. Fearful for his life, the tiny skeleton ran off into the trees the glasses gripped tightly in one hand. He kept running until his legs gave out and the sirens had long been drowned out. Ink huffed as he looked down at the glasses in his hands. Soon a piece of paper landed on Ink's skull. "Use the lens to find its counterpart," He read. "The lens? Do they mean Fresh's glasses?" Ink wondered, bringing the glasses close to his face before putting them on. Ink gasped in wonder as the world changed around him, soon he found himself looking down at a smiling and laughing PaperJam.
"Hey Jammy, knock knock," Fresh's voice filled his ears.
"Who's there?" PaperJam's eye lights grew bigger as he gazed at Ink.
"I'm seeing a memory through Fresh's eyes but what will this help to find his counterpart?" Ink spoke to himself.
"Broken pencil," Fresh said.
"Broken pencil who?" PaperJam looked confused.
"Never mind, it's point less," Fresh chuckled as PaperJam giggled.
"That one was good Mr.Fresh," PaperJam said as he turned and took off his scarf, placing it on the table near him. The two seemed to just drone on for hours until Ink realized something, he was looking for items!
"PaperJam had put his scarf down on the table! Maybe if I go to UnderFresh I can find it!" Ink cried. Suddenly the glasses where knocked off of his face and he found himself staring into the eye lights of a particularly angry Error. "Error..? You're alive!" Ink cried, wrapping his arms around Error.
"Get the hell off of me!" Error snarled as he pushed Ink off of him.
"E-error..? What's wrong?" Ink asked.
"I'm trying to fight you here!" He growled, clearly annoyed. Ink opened his mouth to speak only to have his tiny body slammed to the ground by many blue stings. Ink screamed and cried for help but his world went black. Ink gasped frantically as he sat up on the dead grass, Fresh's glasses still perched on his nose bone.
"Oh thank god," Ink sighed in relief. "Wait- w-what...?" Ink now noticed on one side of his body his bones were cracked and damaged, as if he had really been fighting Error. "I-i need to get to Fresh's AU!" Ink said as he stood up shakily, opening another portal. The Creator walked through and carefully and slowly found his way to Fresh's house. Ink turned and pulled the door knob only to find it was locked. Ink growled as he slammed his non-injured shoulder into the door, the door quickly gave way and fell to the ground, a cloud of dust spreading across the room. Ink rushed over to the table and picked up PaperJam's scarf, holding it tightly to his face and inhaling the sweet soft smell. "B-but what can I do with these? Wrap them together?" Ink took off the glasses as wrapped them in his son's scarf. Suddenly they started to glow and lifted out of his hands, soon the world faded into white again.
"You've done well..." The voice said kindly, Ink smiled.
"Where are they?! Are they okay?!" He asked eagerly.
"Of course, you have completed your task and returned them, but you must wake up now, they need you..." She said as Ink's world started to melt away again.
