2 Children can be heard from far laughing and enjoying their time. Their laughs echoed throughout the whole hall. They played with the flowers on the ground and even chased each other, tiring themselves out.

“Aren’t you tired yet?” A blurred face, with the human-like body of a goat with small horns, wearing a color green striped sweater. “▓▓▓▓▓ Come on! Mom must have been waiting for us at home!”

“Wait for me ▓▓▓▓▓▓!” The other kid, a human wearing the same color of sweatshirt as the human-like goat does too “don’t run too fast, you know I can’t run that fast!”

“Please, aren’t you used to by now living here at the ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓?” He stops walking and turns around at the human. “Chara? Are you okay?”

The human covering its eyes with the long hair she has stood still, looks at his direction. “I should probably head home…”

“But… aren’t we just going to Mom’s home? Eat our favorite pie!”

“They must have been looking for me…” she looks down and walks past him.

“Come on, this won’t take long!” He grabs her hands and pulls her, they begin to run in the halls. They are running around the purple walls and a mix of beautiful lush gardens surrounding the walls and taken carefully with different monsters and humans. They seem to be at peace.

Crowd of people can be heard from different sides, a lively market full of monsters and humans. It was loud, as both of the two kids kept on running throughout the crowd.

“We’re almost there!” he says. As she gazes around, all that she can see are blurred faces of every person and monsters alike. Seemingly forgetting what they must have looked like from her memory. “There we go!! Mom!”

They arrive at the doorstep of his castle gates, the guards lowering it down for them to enter while a human-like goat is standing at the other end of the huge gate, crossing her arms, and stepping her foot.

“Uh-oh…” he scratches his head “Looks like she’s mad…”

The crown on top of her indicates she must have been of nobility. But Chara already knows this, but couldn’t remember what she looks like… nor even could pronounce the name of the monster in front of them.

“What have I told you, young boy.” You can hear from her voice that she is upset, she then grabs the ear of the young kid who’s holding Chara’s hand and pinches it. “AH AH AH!! ▓▓▓!!”

“What did I tell you? Inside now! Your Father’s worried sick of you.” She then points towards inside signaling that he needs to get inside. “And as for you young lady.” She looks at her, sighs and kneels down. “I’m sorry you have to see that.” She pats her head “want to come inside and have a snack on your way to home?”

She nods.

“That’s great!” Chara can’t see their faces, but she can most definitely feel that she just smiled at her. “Come on, take my hand and I’ll guide you inside. I’m so sorry for my young boy, he’s just been at home without any siblings or friends to play with.” She laughs nervously.

“Mom… Please.” He looks at her mom as they walk past them with the most annoyed look he has ever given.

“Hush now, your father is very upset with you.”

“Yikes… HEY WAIT FOR ME!” He followed them two towards the entrance of their home. As they approached the very main door of the castle, there stood a man, with its exceptional armor, dramatically taking the wind in the air even though there’s really no wind here currently.

“Yes, please send this to Dr. ▓▓▓▓▓▓, he’ll need it for Research Purposes.” He finishes his conversation with a fellow assistant scientist that helps Dr. ▓▓▓▓▓▓. There he switches his gaze back at his Family, His wife, His son, and his son’s Friend. “Ah! Great to see you, my darling.” He gives a kiss to his wife “My son” carries him and gives him a nuzzle “We’ll have a talk later.” after a while he then puts his son down, and lastly “Ah, you must be Chara! My son never stops talking about you!”

She nods.

“Not much of a talker huh? Haha! It's alright” The king gives off a huge laugh that it echoed a bit behind the open door towards the entrance of the home.

She blushes a bit.

“That's alright, has my boy treated you well?” He looks at her with a jokingly suspicious look but then suddenly chuckles and pats her head “heh not a thing to worry. I’ll make sure he gets what he deserves later if he treats you bad”

“DAD!! Im not…” his son blushes as he pours and crosses his arms.

“Well now children” The wife looks at both of the kids and intentionally looks at Asgore too to signal him being childish with his behavior “we can get inside to grab my son’s favorite pie!”

“What is it Mom? Is it Strawberry Pie??” The son’s eyes lit up of excitement

“Hahaha it’s Blueberry one my love” She pats his head and messes with his hair.

“Mom!!!” He fixes it as he removes his mom’s hands from his head and pouts “not my hair”

Her mom giggles at the sight of his son “Come on now love, you too Chara”

“Come on! Quickly!” He grabbed her hands and smiled at her.

“How about me?” The husband points at himself as he makes contact with his wife signaling about his favorite pie flavor “did you make any Cranberry pie?”

The wife looks at her, unamused, stares at him coldly “no.”

Her reaction sent the King stoned and down “aww”.

Both of the kids giggle as they follow the young boy’s Mother towards the entrance of the Castle. They then enjoyed the night away at the Dinner where the whole family had been talking endlessly. After that dinner, ▓▓▓▓▓▓ and his mom assisted Chara towards the huge entrance that connects the Monsters and the Humans.

“Goodbye! See you tomorrow!” He waved at her goodbye, She then waved back at her while she’s walking towards the nearest town where her family resides. His mom also waves back, they stay there for a while until Chara can’t be seen in their vision.

“Come now, love, Let’s return home before your Father gets mad at the both of us.”

“But mom… is she going to be fine walking alone by herself?”

“She’s probably going to be fine, she is the Humans’ king’s daughter.”

“What does that mean?”

“Just like how you are the Monsters’ king’s son” she smiles at her and kneels down to pinch his cheeks softly.

“Moooom…” his cheek glows red a bit “no need to pinch my cheeks… I’m not young anymoooreeee” he softly removes her mom’s hands from her face.

“Heh… let’s come home now dear.” She stood up and held her son’s hand as they walked towards the entrance.

As they reached their home at the castle, His mom sent him to bed and there he sleeps very easily as he’s super tired from all the fun stuff that he did with Chara. “Mom, why can’t I play with my Best Friend every second of the day?”

Her mom giggles as she covers her son with the blanket “Like you, she also has a family and a house to come home to. She also needs a rest at night like this, my dear.”

“But I want to keep playing with her even now!” he yawns

She taps his nose “hehe look at you, yawning. You are sleepy my love, you need to rest too.”

“I-I’m not!!” He tries to stop yawning by covering his mouth “S-stupid yawn!”

“Come on now love, make sure to sleep for the night.” his mom giggles at the sight of her son being silly as usual “You don’t want to make your friend tomorrow wait for you.”

“O-oh! That’s true too!” His eyes suddenly lit up with excitement, both hands closed and raised to chest height as gazes at her mom.

“Young kids these days, so full of energy…” She crosses her arms and smiles at her son’s direction. “Go on now, take your rest.” She flicks the light switch and the whole room goes dark with only the light shining from the entrance of her son’s room. ▓▓▓▓▓▓ lays back down, pulls the sheets towards him and closes his eyes.

“Goodnight mom!”

“Goodnight honey.” Her mom closes the door and the room suddenly goes dark, as he sleeps with a smile on face excited to wake up for tomorrow almost as if he wouldn’t be able to get a proper sleep.

A few minutes pass by, he keeps switching sides, turning from left to right. He opens his eyes and looks at the clock on the nightstand beside. It's 1:30AM, and he still couldn’t sleep. He puts the clock back, groans and pulls the sheet above his head, covering his whole body while he continuously moves around the bed like a worm unable to get that sleeping position for the night or just really unable to sleep because he feels super excited too.

He overhears murmurs outside his door getting louder, it seems that people around the castle are still awake. A deep voice, and a high pitch voice. Must be his father talking to one of the scientists. As it gets closer to his door, their conversation can be audibly heard.

“-but this will compromise our friendly relationship with the humans, sire!” the high pitch voice, sounds trembling in fear as he gathers his words and follows the huge steps in front of it.

“I know, but if it has to happen, it will happen eventually.” That deep voice sounds like his father. They must be talking about the situation with the humans, he keeps a close ear to their conversation as it fades away, where they constantly can be heard a little bit arguing already until they have already passed by his sons’ door.

He slowly removes the blanket that’s covering his face and whispers to himself “what bad things…?” he grows curious as the time passes by “I’m pretty sure it's just another robber situation…” he turns around facing the clock he just grabbed earlier, checked the time and it's already 2:10AM! He gasps a little not realizing he’s been awake for too long already.

“Oh my gosh, I have never been awake this long.” He sits up on his bed, slaps both of his cheeks. He does it again until his cheeks start to flush red and hurt. “Ow…” he lays back down hoping that that could make him fall asleep, and eventually as he gets comfortable on the bed with his blanket pulled over under his arms and hugging his favorite pillow, he falls asleep just as he closes his eyes.

Somewhere in the castle, monsters are still awake, having a heated conversation where some of them are almost shouting at each other’s throat. They are discussing what to do with the recent findings about the situation that the humans are waging wars with them.

“This is unacceptable! We’ve never waged wars with humans for thousands of years!” A Member of the Board gathered at the table spoke. “If we do that, we’d be no better than what humans have done to our kind.” ▓▓▓▓▓, He is the 4th Strongest in the Council of the Hallowed.

“But can’t you hear? The rumors have been spreading like a wildfire!” Just around the table, one of the members continues to have the conversation with them, and it goes on for quite a few minutes now. ▓▓▓▓▓▓, He is the 2nd Strongest in the Council of the Hallowed.

“Rumors are Rumors. They are fake! Unless these rumors are made by the highest order of the humans… then it is treason!”

“Silence! Your Majesty has arrived.” The high pitched voice earlier came inside the meeting room, steps on the side as he bows. Everyone in the circular table stands up to pay respects and bow in the presence of the King.

“Y-your majesty, we’re really sorry you have to come at such late at night…” The 4th member with its trembling voice, said.

“I-it's important that we have you right now to discuss rather than later…” The 2nd followed on to the previous person’s greeting.

They keep on murmuring, signaling their distress to the King about the current problem. “Silence!” His voice roared throughout the meeting hall quickly silencing the members around the table. There are 6 seats around, and 1 empty spot for the king just across the entrance to the room.

“Sit down, everyone.” The King commands them, as he sits first, then everyone follows along. There’s a few awkward silence for a moment, some of the members sweating, nervous, trembling, and some twiddling their thumbs. 

As seconds pass by, tension in the air gets intense, they all keep staring at each other signaling to speak up and say something to break the tension while the King sits there unbothered by their silence yet can hear their trembling murmurs.

“Do I have to speak first or do I have to deal with the humans?” The King raises his voice as his palm hits the table creating a huge sound and air wave towards their direction.

Trembling members at the table started gathering their thoughts around and one of them spoke, ▓▓▓▓▓, He is the 5th Member “Sire… Humans have been spreading false rumors about us monsters.”

“What kind of rumors?”

“R-rumors that we are spreading evil towards their lives.” 

“Are you sure that these rumors are a fact that Humans did spread these?”

“I-I’m sure of it! A few of the monsters underground that went outside had socially been called out in the crowd and were almost attacked!” He stood up, sending his chair backwards and slammed the table with both of his palms. “I don’t stand this kind of treatment! We’ve been with the Humans and we neither had found problems until today!”

“Calm down, ▓▓▓▓▓” Knane, She is the first member of the Council of the Hallowed. She raised her hands gently in his comrade’s direction, while her eyes were closed, in a meditating position. “We must not rush. Stop hasting, you are wasting your energy. Sit down, child.”

“I dare not to be addressed as a Child, Ms. Knane.”

She scoffs “Whatever you say, ▓▓▓▓▓” He sits back down, crosses his arms and Knane stands up in such a gentle manner seemingly not afraid of the King’s presence nor it makes her tremble. “This problem is rather small than what we should be discussing about.”

Everyone except the king gasps at such a statement she gave.

“W-what were you thinking?!” The 4th Member whispers to her.

“We have an even bigger matter to discuss.”

“What is it?” She grabs the King’s attention.

“That there will be someone among the members of the Council that will be turning their back to you.” She looks at the king with a straight gaze unmoved, not even feeling any fear. “I am your most Loyal Subject, Knane, and I swore my loyalty towards you that in my utmost power I will find out who that traitor will be.” She bows and sits back down.

“You are indeed the most loyal one, to receive such a title of becoming the strongest in our Council.”

Every member of the council looks at Knane with an annoyed look, as she grins.

“Very well then. ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓, please inform the Humans and do everything that you must to clean the very monster’s reputation, we neither had done anything wrong to these people yet they keep on harassing us for the last months.” The king stood up

“Y-YES! SIRE!” ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓, She is the 3rd Member of the Council of the Hallowed.

“I must leave for the meantime. We will discuss this tomorrow with a proper meeting. Meeting dismissed.” Everyone stood up as the King walked past them and they bowed. As the door closed, they all exhaled out of anxiety and nervousness. After a few seconds, everyone looked at Knane again and started arguing with her.

“What do you mean Traitor?!” The 4th Member said

“Aren’t you scared of the King’s presence?! We basically can’t deal with him!” the 5th one said.
