Broken Grace

Broken Grace chapter five

Destiny had a hard decision to make as it let Error go, it was not expecting Nightmare to come with him.  Where should it lead them to once the VOID gave in?

To get help, they first must admit that they need help to heal.  For that to happen the person would need a reason to get better or find help.  So Destiny must lead to where Error could find his reason.  A reason to live.  Error needs all this and more Destiny knew. It could cry at what Fate has done to him.

But what kind of reason?  Romance? It eyed Nightmare wrapped so protectively around Error, it would not happen at this point, he does not believe that he has the right to that.  An enemy or rival would not end so well, not when he has no will to live any longer.  But maybe something to fight for?  But what? So Destiny must go with a different option.... But what was left?

And then it struck Destiny on who to lead him to after thinking back on how Error acted back in the other Multiverse.  After that it would be up to him, but after watching him so long Destiny knew that it would be the best choice. Destiny turned her attention to Nightmare now here was a potential problem. To much help and protection and Error wouldn't be able to heal and grow.... But he could be an asset.... Destiny set to work trimming away the last of Fate's threads and repairing codes, soon Nightmare's goop melted away to reveal a handsome if badly damaged young adult. 'There one more reason to heal and a little help along the way.' Finally for the first time, Destiny started to weave the many paths of destiny for the one known as Error as the VOID gave way.

Destiny watched happily as they fell to the snow, not too far away from the ones she is, hoping will find them, hoping and praying that they had not lead them astray.

-With Error & Nightmare-

When Error felt the cold and pain with an odd negative warmth pressed against his side, he thought it was just how being scattered across time and space felt like.  He figured being broken apart can't feel all too great after all and it's not like he could ask anyone how it felt.  The muffled noise and crunching of snow quickly clued him in that this was not the case.

After a few moments of silence, Error almost could fool himself that this was all a hallucination caused from dying, that or some sort of twisted purgatory for all the deaths he had caused.  Death never did like him, he can still see him carving new scars on his bones with that scythe of his and grinning when he didn't die immediately like other monsters or humans would,  then pushing down harder-

And then when a cold small bony hand poked his check softly, that clues him in that this was not the VOID or a hallucination, but it could still be purgatory so that was still in the running.  And if he was wrong then he wanted to know why the hell little monsters were in the VOID and if this was the after life he hopes that he wasn't the one to have killed them.  Or if this wasn't the VOID or afterlife then he wanted to know where the hell he was and/or what AU he was in.

'But I'm still hoping for the afterlife....'  Error mentally facepalmed.  'But knowing my luck it isn't....I never get what I want! So why should this be any different?'

So he slowly opened his sockets, pushing past the pain to face what he has fallen into. He could only pray that this wasn't a trick by Fate and Inky for giving up.

-A Few Minutes Before-

Project One, a little skeleton monster, had no idea where he was going.  All he knew was that he had to keep his baby bones little brother, Project Two, safe.  He had no idea where he was going, only that he had to get away from HIM!  Shivering in his striped rags, One willed his feet to go faster through the freezing snow.

He would hide and run until his legs were gone, as long as there was no more pain!  All those tests and experiments were too much for him to handle, let alone his new brother.  So he waited until the moment was right then struck.  When his back was turned, One grabbed Two and ran for it.  But HE had connections, more than One thought he did. One ran past Hotlands, past Waterfall and somehow ended up in the cold Snowdin.  Cuddling a shivering Two closer, One took in a deep breath only to freeze up in terror.
