Dust had been wandering around for awhile, he was quite impatient and fidgety. Nightmare and Error had finished most of the rooms, so they decided to go get the person Dust wanted to get.

"Hey Dust, you ready to go get this person?"

Dust turned around, and nodded frantically.

"What Au...?"

Dust looked at Error confused, then he, what looked like he mentally face palmed himself.

"HorrorTale."

Error opened a portal, Dust almost ran through it Nightmare walked after him hoping he wouldn't run off to far. Once Nightmare had gone through Dust was already a few meters away, Nightmare ran after Dust and grabbed him on the shoulder stoping him. 

"No need to rush, Jeez"

Dust just chuckled awkwardly.

"It's just been a while..."

Dust started walking again while Error was trying to catch up, but by the time he did-

"Did you guys have to run so far...?"

Nightmare laughed.

"Of course, we couldn't have you keeping you keeping up now."

Error smiled with a small chuckled, then he started walking after Dust.

Why is it so hard to believe he is the destroyer of Au's

Nightmare followed Dust and Error to a town, there was a sign in front of the town saying 'welcome to Snowdin'  It looked kind of run down like something had ripped off chunks of it, Nightmare looked off towards the town. He saw monsters, but then were all standing shocked.

Right... there's only supposed to be two skeletons in each underground.

Dust walked through the town until he stopped at a door, he knocked on the door and waited until someone answered. We were meet with another Sans opening the door, at first he seemed annoyed but his eyes widened at the sight of Dust he launched himself forward and hugged Dust tightly. After letting go of Dust they turned to face us, he let up a small eep and grabbed Dusts arm looking towards Error. Error just proceeded to look at the ground sort of burying his face in his scarg, Nightmare looked back at Dust hoping  he would say something.

"Ummm, Guys this is Horror and Horror this is Error and Nightmare.

Error looked away while Nightmare gave a small smile. Horror had hesitantly invited us in mainly scared of Error.

Error being here might also be a reason why they looked so shocked. If  Horror knows who Error is then the rest of them might aswell.

Nightmare suggested that this Au or maybe just this timeline? Knew about the Au's. But that also got Nightmare thinking, if Error was a destroyer than it would make sense there would be a creator, Nightmare had thought of a few people he had seen and Ink being the creator made the most sense in his head.

"Hey Nightmare?"

Nightmare snapped out of his thoughts, and looked up towards Dust.

"yeah?"

"Horror agreed to come with us."

Nightmare looked back at Horror who looked slightly sad.

"But there's only one condition."

Nightmare nodded, signaling Dust to continue. 

"His human is only doing one more route, and it's a Genocide, so he wants us to save his brother and let him live in the village."

Nightmare looked back at Horror, he seemed on edge and was constantly looking back at Error.

"We can do that, but I know I'm not cleaning and entire village on my own."

Dust chuckled.

"Well we don't have to clean the hole village, just some of it then do the rest later."

Nightmare nodded.

"Lest go get the two brothers then."

After getting Horror and his brother settled in, and cleaning almost half the village, and then repairing a few houses, and then- It's just a lot of work- Nightmare walked up the hill towards the tree, he was hoping to have a moment after everything that's happened, it looked as peaceful as it did back in his Au, and the tree was still here. Heck it even had the banner Dream made still tied around the tree. Nightmare sat in front of the tree and leaned against the trunk. He looked up at the sky seeing the leaves of the tree swaying in the small breeze, Nightmare closed his eyes and took a deep breath in. He was grateful the air up here didn't taste like monster dust, Nightmare looked back down and pulled the book out of his jacket then flicked to the last few pages.

Hey

Well well well, how to turn tables.

Nice to see you two.

Honestly I thought you forgot about me, anyway how's the timeline going.

There's about five years worth of cleaning so were not going to get bored anytime soon.

Well good for you.

I bet you wish you had this much cleaning.

Who wouldn't?

Nightmare and the book continued there conversation. Until the book decided to leave so Nightmare just sat there staring up at the stars. Nightmare felt comfortable under the tree, more comfortable than he did in the stronghold. Nightmare found himself drift into sleep as he looked up at the stars.
