NOTE - Both of my notes from my first AxeTale Story, "AxeTale - The Full Story" apply here, this is my own take on the AxeTale AU so there are some differences and the other being I am not big on the Frans part of AxeTale, but it is an important part of it, and they're both of age in this AU, so I will write it accordingly NOTE 2 - This is a prequel to my first AxeTale Book, so it will be connected to that one and lead into the events of The Full Story, you can either read this book first or second and still get the full picture Before The Story of Aliza... There was the story of Frisk... A human woman who fell underground and changed monsterkind forever... When the time came to break the barrier and save monsterkind from their confined prison... She couldn't do it... The only way to do it, was to sacrifice her own soul... And open the barrier that way... But Frisk couldn't bring herself to do it... She was too terrified of death... So she stayed underground with the monsters... With the death of the King to the malicious Flowey, the souls being locked away, Dr. Alphys trying her best to find an alternative way to break the barrier, and Queen Toriel returning to be in power... Frisk has a lot on her plate... Thankfully... She has people who will be beside her along the way... But this isn't just the story of Frisk.... This is the story of her lover... The monster she had dedicated her life to being with.... And how this all proved to become quite difficult for not just these two... But the entirety of monsterkind....

NOTE - I am not the creator of AxeTale nor do I own it's rights, this is my own retelling of the story of AxeTale. A sub-AU if you will, a rewrite of AxeTale, kind of like TS!Swap for UnderSwap, expect this version of AxeTale to be different than the one you know of, as there'll be a few changes here and there- NOTE 2 - I personally am not a fan of Frans / Frisk x Sans... But in this AU both Frisk and Sans are of age, and it's a plot point that they're married... Although I'm not a big fan of this but given the fact it's an AU, that's alright, even if I don't ship it personally, it's a big part of this AU and I have to try to keep it as close to the source material as possible... Just know even if I don't ship it personally, I'm still trying to be at least mostly accurate, small changes aside... AxeTale... An AU from the UnderVerse, an AU with a bleak, and almost hopeless life to it all... But life is life nonetheless... This is the story of a child... Not the child you'd expect to come across, but a deep connection is rooted in this young child... Named Aliza... For she always felt so close to Mt. Ebott, she could not explain why, maybe it's because her mother told her stories of exploring around the old mountain... Maybe it's because Mother told her tall tales about a civilization of friendly monsters, deep under the mountain... On the anniversary of her mothers passing, Aliza decides to follow in her mothers footsteps, to travel through Mount Ebott, with her mothers journal in hand, she will Discover the truth...

Having always been the feisty antisocial toon he was and everyone knew, Shrimpo never thought of the day a miserable child would make him care for their safety and health... ----- This story will clearly touch complex topics about hate on many faces, alongside different types of abuse that unfortunately still exist. so... TW: Violence, Angst, child abuse and self harm... I hope you guys enjoy this story because, this is the first one I have and I swear I've been taking a lot of time planning this carefully and properly so it follows Wattpad's guidelines, yah?
