Chp. 2 Internal judgements

"Nice to meet ya!
It's been a long time
Since I've seen a new face!

Or any at all..."

          The ceremony came and went like the summer breeze, coming for only a few brief moments before taking leave. The Ceremony made the former Creator and Destroyer to take out their souls* to complete the vows and agreements on the conditions, as they have to be sole on their word whole heartedly and willingly. The ones who made the eternal Truce so, was Fate and Destiny as they are of higher power and the only ones who could do the seal of the Truce. They had to come and go as fates and destinies needed to be woven for many other multiverses, so they said their farewells as they left in a hurry.

The After Party was a chance for both sides of the balance to get used to eachother as there are no need for any sides to take sides no longer. All were cautious and hesitant, but all were overall surprised on how they were nothing like the stories that surround them. A few members of the 'Bad sanses' even broke down on how they felt so overwhelmed with how much kindness and understanding they've never felt in a long while. Dream broke down in joy as he finally noticed his brother back I to the way he was, Nightmare getting annoyed at how positive and 'touchy' dream was being, but still had happiness in being with his brother yet again after all these eons.

Everyone surprised at seeing the 'soulless Destroyer' looking much different than they imagined, and thus, error recieved a lot of compliments on his glasses. Error got even more confident, but still tried to pretend that he was annoyed by them, but he still was joyful. The weeks has gone and past as the sides gotten an even more understanding with eachother. Carrot forgave Error and decided to trust others a bit more, with a small hint of caution. Hey, old habits die hard. Dust and Killer is starting to tear down their walls and try to be more open with others.

Horror and Farmer are working together on the farm to feed Aus that has scarcity on food. Cross met Epic at their battle for a rubber chicken and soon became known as 'Dude and Bruh' throughout the multiverse. Dream and Nightmare decided to spend the rest of their time with eachother to cover all those eons where they could've still been a family, Nighty was forced to stay in his passive form to get used to it again. Ink and Error started to get closer and became very close, not in a romantic way of course. They preferred an intimate friendship, platonic lovers in some way. Which leads us to right now.

Error was knitting in the Anti-void, he may be living with the others back at the mansion, but he had all too many memories in this place. All painful ones, yes, but all were a part of morphing him into who he is now. What was he knitting? A plain tan, turtleneck sweater for someone he thinks of as his own. Soon enough,  a child with a blue hoodie and goggles atop his head, came through a portal in a hurry as he tackled error from behind.
"Mama Ruru!~" he laughed out playfully.

This was Quantumtale! Sans, the child Guardian of the multiverse. Tk, he had the power to turn things back to the way it was, basically reversing time, which ironically makes for his nickname; 'Timekid' or Tk for short. The secret twelve year old Guardian. "Gah-! Tk! You jerk! Haha! What're you doing here you little brat?" Error chuckled in amusement, Tk was a secret for a reason. It was because he refused to be at either side, just like many others. So error built some sort of sanctuary for the Neutrals of the multiverse.

He built this so no one would be able to try to force them into any sides either against their will, bribery, and any other sorts of ways they could use. Core! Frisk helped and jointed this project, they made sure these specific Aus were forgotten by the creator so there won't be any other such copies of them, only originals. So naturally, these Aus had no copies at all, just the way error and core wanted it to be. The sweater is actually for someone in the said sanctuary.

"Everyone's wondering when your coming back! Assy is starting to talk to himself again... He also wanted to see you again, we all do..." Tk trailed off as he averted his gaze nervously, error chuckled, he knew where this was going. "Don't tell me you miss lullaby and storytime now!" Error joked, but actually managed to hit a straight bullseye. "Wh- No- I didn't–! I- I..." Tk spluttered until he caught sight of error raising his brow that told him to go on. "...Okay, fine. Maybe I kinda did miss storytime..." Tk mumbled as he pouted in defeat. Error laughed as he shook his head in amusement.

"Alright, come on. Let's go see everyone." Error rustled as he got up, picking up a bag filled with stuff he's crafted for the others while he was away, including the newly knitted sweater of course. Tk perked up upon hearing that, and looked at error in a daze. Maybe now I can ask him... he thought as he snapped out of his gaze and rushed on over, trailing error from behind as they entered the portal to the sanctuary. Their footsteps echoed throughout the opened halls, opened meaning one side of the said halls were held up by pillars as it showed an enchanting garden that the younger residents play in.

Error was taking lefts and turns as it was almost a maze, Error, luckily knew the place like the back of his hand. Each hall either lead to a row of rooms or a portal to the residents Aus, the sanctuary was built for the Neutrals who either needed a break, had no Aus whatsoever, or was just tired of all what's happening in their worlds. It was truly a safe haven for many, which was ironically built by the Destroyer himself. Tk stayed silent as he followed error through the winding paths in a daze, he paused as error turned around by the sudden halt from the smaller. Error tilted his head in question. "Uh, Tk? Is there something wro-"

"You were a Geno once, weren't you?"

Error jolted back in shock by the sudden question. He gulped as he had a fearful expression with a shaky voice to add to that.
"Wh- what are you talking a- about...? Everyone knows that Aftertale had no copi-–" Error tried to retort back to recover from his shock. "Don't lie." Tk cutted in, he was tired of the lies. Tired of being  treated as a child, he was a guardian. No matter what age or who he is, that is who he is. And he wanted answers, and answers he was going to get.

*Souls meaning that Error helped Ink gain a soul after finding out that the 'tattoos' on his body were actually soul fragments, meaning he can't feel emotions with out it fully whole, but still able to live, as their souls is the very culmination of their being. (My Headcanon)

Ah ha! A chappie! :3 hope ya likey!~
