Determination (Charisk) [OUTDATED]

40 - THE HAMMER OF JUSTICE

(FRISK POV)

"So, you're the human I keep hearing about, eh?"
"Guilty. Though, there's something I don't understand."
"Ask away."
"I was told that my existence down here is a crime, that humans were supposed to be killed... But, most people here are actually really nice to me! They treat me better than any other human did as well. All of you monsters are smart an funny and compassionate... but if my existence is really that bad, then why isn't everyone acting like those other monsters... the ones with the weapons?" He grabbed a glowing bottle.
"Can you take off the hoodie?"
"Yup." I fumbled with the sleeves for a bit.
"Well, to answer your question, some people don't recognize that you're a human. Some people do, but are too scared to say anything about it (humans are extremely powerful), and others... well, they're just a bunch of extremists Wahaha!"
"Powerful?"
"Well, humans ain't made of dust and magic, and they got more Determination than any monster does. I'd say that's pretty darn powerful."
"Hmm. And my situation has it even more so."
"Righto." His small cave was filled with random stuff  and antiques.
"Gerson was it? What is all of this junk in your house?"
     "Junk? It's not junk. They are relics of history! Like over there!" He pointed to a large warhammer. "That's the weapon I used in the war against humans!"
     "No way. That happened centuries ago!"
     "Tortoises have a very long lifespan. I was a young adult when I enlisted. They called me the Hammer of Justice Wahaha!" On the wall there was the Delta Rune. I've seen it in a few places before. History books, royal guard armor, Chara's jacket...
     "And the stone sigil on the wall?"
     "The what?... Oh! That's the Delta Rune. It's the emblem of our kingdom. The kingdom... of Monsters. Great name, huh?"
"It's very... fitting?"
"It's as I always say... Ol' King Fluffybuns can't name for beans!"
"King... Oh! You must be talking about King Asgore, right? Why did you call him 'King Fluffybuns'?" He looked up for a second, he shrugged.
"Can't remember."
". . . What do you mean 'Can't remember'? I was told you were a historian."
"What? I'm a historian because I lived through most of history. I don't remember much of it so I keep this junk to remind me, Wahaha!" He lifted the bottle up and poured the light within over my arm. "This'll sting a little." The soft glow around my arm grew brighter around my shoulder, where I had been hit, and dimmed around the rest. After a few seconds, it struck my arm with the same force I got shot with the magic with.
     "Oww.... okay.... was it like an embarrassing story or—"
     "Ok, ok! I remember it clearly now. It was the monthly address at the castle, and the Queen was giving her part on current events. After finishing her update she moved to pass the microphone to the King. However, she didn't realize she was still holding the microphone when she said: 'Your turn, Fluffybuns' The audience burst into laughter. Realizing what she had said, she started laughing too... After a few moments, he held up his arms and the crowd grew silent. He leaned towards the microphone with a stern expression. 'Dear citizens. Thank you for coming today. I, King Fluffybuns...' And the rest is history." I wonder if Chara was there for that. I felt that my eyelids were harder and harder to open, and my vision started to fade.
"Ah... Wait, what's happening?"
"That's the antidote. Forgot to mention you might fall asleep."
     "I. Still.. have... questions. . . Though." Then, I lost consciousness.
