Morning came around as you slowly open your eyes, what you see in front of you is a snout belonging to Asriel and his arm draped over you. "Hmm, I'm having a strange sense of déjà vu. Azzy drooling slightly, check, arm over me, check, sleeping in the same bed, check. Well guess I slept well enough, now to try and wiggle free of Azzy's grasp."You gently lift his arm being careful not to wake him. Moving it very slightly and placing it down on the bed as you slowly make your way out of bed.

You make your way over to the door and enter the hallway. Closing the door softly behind you; you make your way down the hall to the living room. Your ears perk up hearing sounds of someone in the kitchen. You make your way toward the kitchen with a silent approach in your step. Looking in you see a tired, bed-furred, Toriel grabbing items from the fridge. You make your way behind her, "Morning mom." Startled by your sudden announcement, the items she grabbed fumbling around in her grasp, but she mange to steady everything before it could tumble to the floor.

She turns to face you, her face looking a little pale from the scare, "My child, you startled me. I didn't think anyone would be up yet, especially you, considering how tired you've been." You chuckle slightly, "Sorry about that, but I feel much better after getting some much needed rest. So are you making breakfast?"

"Yes my child. Is there anything you would like me to make for you?" You think for only a moment, "Pancakes would be great, I'm sure Azzy would agree with me if he was up." She nods, "Well it shouldn't take me too long to make some, would you like to go wake Gorey and Asriel?"

"Actually, I liketo take care of something quickly before breakfast. Also knowing we'll be having a discussion about certain topics afterwards, I'd like to sure I have everything sorted out beforehand." She nods, "Of course my child, but don't be to long." You nod back and head back to the room. "Man I really could use a cup of coffee, but I'm not quite ready to let mom ask questions about the items I purchased on my last secret venture to the surface." Grabbing the items from under the bed and grabbing your shoes, you make your way to the front door.

Quietly exiting the house and making sure Toriel doesn't see you leaving. You sit on the steps and put on your shoes and proceed towards Hotlands. It didn't take long to reach Gaster's Laboratory. Upon entering the lab you don't see anyone at first, but you assume it's either way to earlier and everyone is still asleep or they're in the lab. You make your way to the laboratory door and crack it open. Looking in you assumption is correct, Gaster is awake and is currently working on something, but you see Sans head down sleeping at his table.

"Well if there's anyone here who would appreciate a cup of coffee its those two." You make your way to their kitchen setting you items on the counter-top and find a kettle to boil some water. Of course there's no clean mugs and clean three out placing them on the counter as well. While waiting for the water to boil you pull out the french press and get it ready. After a few minutes the water is ready and you add it to the coffee grounds in the press. After letting it steep for a few more minutes you press down on the filter to push the grounds down.

Taking the press over to the mugs you pour out the contents evenly to each one. You grab the bag you brought with you and pull out some creamer cups, pouring three with some sugar in yours. Finding a tray in the kitchen you place all the mug on it. You leave the other cups black since you don't know how they prefer coffee, but bring cream and sugar just in-case. You enter and Gaster turns to face you, "Ah, if it isn't my favorite human. What brings you by so early in the morning?"

"Well I thought the three of us could enjoy something I brought back from the surface. I made us all some coffee." Gaster looks at the cups and then back at you, "I'm not a big fan of coffee, it always has a odd taste to it." You chuckle, "You mean the stuff in the kitchen Sans makes. One, that's instant and second it's past it's expiration date. Basically it's gone bad, but I'm assuming monster can't get ill off something like that like humans can. This is fresh and will taste much different."

You walk closer and he looks down at the black liquid, "Oh, I didn't know if you prefer it black or with cream and sugar. I got-" Before you can finish Gaster takes a sip, you wait with anticipation if he'll like it or not. He sets it down on the table next to him, "You're correct about it tasting different, I find this much more flavorful then the instant coffee." A smile creeps on your face, "I'm glad, if it's alright with you could I leave the coffee and french press with you and Sans."

With a raised brow(which is still odd to see a skeleton do) he stare at you with a questionable expression, "May I ask why? It seems like a hassle to have to come here anytime you wish to make some." You let out a sigh, but before you respond to his question you set the cup for Sans next to him and take your own. Sans stir and glance at the cup next to him. "What's this?" you tell him coffee and he takes the cup in hand. Sans takes a sip and he stares at it like something wrong.

"You sure kid? This doesn't taste like the same stuff I make." You chuckle, "Well duh, your using instant expired coffee. I brought fresh coffee that I got from the surface." He takes another sip, "Damn, you're spoiling me here kid. I'm never going to be able to go back." You both chuckle, but you notice Gaster is sitting patiently still waiting for an explanation. You take a quick sip of you own coffee as you grab a nearby stool and set the tray down on a nearby table.

"Well to answer your question why I'd like to leave the stuff here is, because I shouldn't really have them in the first place. You both know that I can pass through the barrier and head to the surface." Gaster raises a hand, "I think I see where your going with this. You made an unauthorized visit out of Mt. Ebott and acquire these items during that trip." You nod and staring down at the floor, "Yeah, if you could keep this between us for now I'd appreciate it. The only other person knows is Azzy. If mo... I mean Toriel and Asgore found out it might complicated matters."

Sans looks a little puzzled, "What's with all the secrecy kid? Wouldn't it be better to let them both in on the details?" You shake your head, "At the moment, no, I'm working on trying to allow me to go on another trip up to the surface, but the information I've discovered so far might have the opposite effect." Both Gaster and Sans look at each other before nodding, "Well kid, it's not our place to really judge you and tell you what to do, but just make sure this doesn't end up getting you into trouble."

"Agreed, but knowing you might have future visits to the surface, maybe it would be possible to acquire some items for the lab. I would be happy to compensate you for the trouble of course." as Gaster takes another sip of his coffee.

"Sure, I'll stop by before the next time I head out. I do have some gold left that Toriel and Asgore gave me, but I'm not sure how much the items you need are going to cost. Also it has to be in it's raw form, monster coins would bring on to many question when I exchange them for currency on the surface."

"I'm sure I can acquire the gold with little issue. Though carrying everything back may be difficult and require you to make multiple trips, but we can figure out such details later." You realize that it's been about twenty minutes since you left and you quickly finish your coffee. "I really got to go, I didn't really tell Toriel this morning I would be-"

Sans chuckles, "Well don't let us stop you or the coffee isn't going to be the only thing roasted." You give a chuckle, "True, I'm sure I'm going to be grilled as is." With that you make haste with a quick, "good-bye and thank you" upon exiting the lab. When you arrive back home, you enter to see Toriel standing in the hall talking with Asriel and Asgore, "Crap, well so much for getting back unnoticed." You get that glare from Toriel and look at the floor.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you I was going out this morning, but I did say I need to take care of something quickly. It just took me-" Toriel sighs, "Well talk about this later, for now breakfast is ready. Get washed up and come to the table." You knew saying anymore wouldn't help so you just did what you were told. Asriel joins you and in a low voice asks, "Where did you go this morning Bro?" In the same tone, "I went to Hotlands, I talked with Gaster and Sans a bit. I bought some equipment when I was on the surface to make coffee."

Asriel face has a look of disgust on it, "Bro, how can you drink that stuff? I tried it one, it taste really bitter and nasty." You chuckle, "Where did you try it? Also did you drink it black, it helps to add cream and sugar if you can't handle it black." He just blinks, but then answers, "Sans gave me-" he's interrupted by your laughter, "Ha ha, no wonder you didn't like it. Azzy that stuff Sans has isn't fresh anymore and it's instant coffee. The stuff I got is really good, but even with cream and sugar it's an acquired taste."

"I'll take your word for it Bro, I think I'll stick with tea though."

"Fair enough, I'm not going to force you drink something you might not like, but you should give it another shot."

"I'll think about it, but we should get to the table before mom gets curious what's taking us so long."

"True, I think I pushed my luck as is this morning and I still got to talk to them after breakfast."

You both get to the table and nothing was really said for the duration. Asriel is the first to finished and excuses himself from the table. He takes his plate to the kitchen and as he passes he gives you a glance. You just nod and he seems to understand. Toriel and Asgore notice, but don't bring it up.

After Asriel leave the house Toriel speaks up, "So my child, where did you go this morning? I'm sure you had your reason behind it, but you really should let us know."

"I know mom, I went to Hotlands to see Gaster and Sans this morning." She looks more concerned now, " Are you still not feeling well my child? That's quite a trip to take, how did you get there and back so quickly?" Beads of sweat form on your forehead, "Shit, I never did bring up my other ability. We'll guess now is a good of a time as any." Toriel is waiting for you to say something and Asgore take a quick sip of his tea.

"Uh, well... There's another ability I have which I named, "Swift-Step". It basically amplifies my speed and how I was able to get to locations on the surface quickly. Otherwise, there's no way I could get back to Mt. Ebott in the amount of time I had. As for my health concerns I'm fine."

She looks at you surprised by this, "Why didn't you tell us before, you could've brought it up when you told us about your magic or when we learned of your healing ability. Though learning about the way I did for the first time wasn't exactly the way I wanted too."

"I just never got around to it, my healing ability and speed feel more natural so I sometimes forget that to others they're not normal, but you're the first I've told this ability too." She smiles a little, "Well it's nice to know about something beforehand. Now if you can work on that a little more." You sigh, "I know, I don't mean anything by it. I've always kept to myself and done what is asked of me, but you both given me a choice and I'm not use to having that still. I end up falling back into bad habit of keeping things to myself."

"It's okay my child, we know you've gone through some terrible experiences. We still don't know the full detail of your past, but what you have shared we can image it wasn't easy." You nod, "I'd like to tell you more, but I'd prefer if I could leave it behind." Asgore places a hand on your shoulder, "We'll be here if you ever feel up to telling us, but we'll not force you if that would make you uncomfortable."

You give Asgore a nod in appreciation, "Well, I think we gotten off topic a little bit. I really wanted to bring up the subject of the barrier. What I told you before wasn't truthful."

Asgore retracts his hand, "We had a feeling, but we weren't a hundred percent sure that's what you wanted to talk to us about. Another reason we assumed you wanted to talk to us is about being able to go back up to the surface." Your kind of at a loss for a moment, but considering how long they've both been around they probable can tell if someone is hiding something. "Well your right on both accounts, this is as much about the barrier as it is me asking about further visits to the surface.

"The information I found out about the barrier is that it's working perfectly." They both look at each other with a look of disbelief, "Are you sure my child? How did you learn of this?" You had to think about how to phrase what to tell them, they both will probably know that you're not being entirely truthful, but you weren't ready to touch upon the mages you met yet. "I came across an old book, it only had a few pages left in it. It basically touched upon the war and information about the barrier. From what I read it was placed hastily by the mages and it will only keep those within Mt. Ebott from leaving, but it doesn't keep things from entering."

Toriel leans back in her chair looking a little crestfallen, Asgore looking much the same, but accepting the news a little better. "This is troubling news, but now that explains how you and those robot came to be in the ruins. Now we must find out if there's a way to change it to keep possible threats out. Which now mean allowing you to make another trip to the surface. Tori my dear, are you willing to let our child go? If not, I understand." You and Asgore now sit patiently waiting for Toriel's response.

Toriel sits quietly, knowing you both are waiting on her answer about the matter at hand. She takes in a breathe and begins to speak, "I knew you'd have to eventually make another trip, but I never knew it be so soon. Also you've been so worn out as of late and I really want to make sure your-" You chime in, "I've myself to blame for my lack of sleep. I stayed up late those couple of days and neglected getting a proper night sleep, but I talked with Azzy which helped put my worries at ease. I'm sorry to have caused you concern, but I really am fine now."

"You really shouldn't keep yourself up like that, I was concerned you were ill or worst. Though I'm glad Asriel was able to help, but you should've talked to us. I feel that there's more behind it then just staying up late, but for now knowing you're okay is enough. Just promise not to push yourself like that from now on. As for allowing you to go back up to the surface I shall let you, but I want you back her every night, understood?"

You're shocked that she's agreeing to let you go. You make your way from your chair over to her and give her a hug, "Thanks mom, I promise I'll be back every-night and I'll do what I can to find information to help us. Though I was sort of expecting you to not allow me to go." She giggles, "I was thinking about it, but you did tell us about your other ability and about the barrier. So I call that progress, we'll work on the rest over time, now unless there's more you'd like to tell us why don't you go catch up with Asriel."

You only nod and give her a final hug before running out to join Asriel. "Well that went better then I expected. I equally surprised you agreed so quickly, I thought you'd make it far more challenging for us."

"Well if you'd like I could call him back and we can do it over." Asgore just chuckles, "I think we're fine with the outcome as is. So we have our own matters to attend to this morning, shall we get ready?" Toriel gathers the remaining plates at the table, "Of course, let me just deal with the dishes and I'll get changed." Asgore gets up and kisses her on the cheek, "I'll give you a hand drying them."

___________________________________________________

Upon leaving the house you see Asriel working on his magic, you wave at him to get his attention and he makes his way over to you, "So how did it go Bro?" You sigh, "I'd say good, but I still feel guilty about not being completely forth coming with them. Though I need to work on being careful my action, I forgot to consider how far Hotlands is, under normal circumstances it would take a while to get there and back."

"I was thinking about that myself, how did you get back so quickly?" You chuckle, "Well remember that time you fell off that bridge?" Asriel nods, "Well I have another ability that allows me to increase my speed. I tried using it, but my healing ability at the time over-exerted me. So the little bit of magic required to use it was unavailable."

"Wait, your saying you can run quicker then I've normally seen you have, how fast can you move?"

"Would you like to see first hand?" Asriel eye's goes wide with excitement, "Yeah, how are you going to show?" You turn so your back is facing him and place your arms slightly behind you, "Hop on, I'll carry you to where-ever you like to go." With some help from you, he manages to get a good grip on you, "Make sure you have a really good grip Azzy. Where would you like to go?"

"Let's go to Snowdin that pretty far off." You nod and before Asriel could react he was looking at the Christmas tree in the center of Snowdin. You let Asriel down, "So what do you-" The look of awe on Asriel face is priceless, "Bro... THAT WAS AWESOME!! Why haven't you told me you could do that?"

"Well to be fair, mom and dad just found out about it today as well. It never came up in conversation and I forgot I never brought it up til now." Asriel gives you a light jab in the shoulder, "That would explain that time you ran out of the house after you attacked me. I chased after you, but when I looked outside you were nowhere to be found. Along with the recent times you snuck out of the room to go to the surface and got back before anyone knew. Though seeing upfront was so amazing, even though I really didn't see anything along the way."

Hearing about that past when you attack Asriel brought down your mood. You knew it wasn't your fault and you manage to regain control before anything bad could happen. Asriel took notice, "Oh, Bro I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bring up bad memories-" You just shake your head, "Don't worry about it Azzy. Yeah, I did use my Swift-Step at that time, but I also used it to carry you home from the ruins."

"So basically you've been using it this whole time, but I always missed out." You give him a half-smile, "Yeah, but hey now you know. I'll be using it a lot when I make my upcoming trips to the surface."

"Oh, I guess we got a little side-tracked on topics. So mom and dad agreed to let you go?" You nod, "Yeah, but I only told them about the barrier and this. I'm wasn't ready to tell them about the mages I met, but I did bring them up as far as the war goes. Told them I found a book that I learned about the barrier from. It's not a completely lie, a book I have does talk about it, but I learned about it from Ellana first."

"I not sure what more I can say Bro, they accepted everything so far. You should just tell them the rest."

You sigh, "Not yet Azzy, I want to see Ellana before I make that decision. At least if they decide to not let me go again I got to see her one last time."

"Yet no one could really stop you from going. You're respecting mom and dad decision and keeping yourself from do so. I'm happy that you keep that temptation in check and not abusing it, well, at least all the time."

"That's true I guess, there are days though I felt like doing so, but I chose against doing so. So what do you want to do now?" The cold slightly getting to both of you, "How about we leave Snowdin for starters, we can make our way to Waterfall."

"Sure, want to walk or do you want another piggy back ride?" Asriel thinks for a moment, "Let's walk, I don't get to enjoy the scenery along the way even if I've seen it all before." You just chuckle, "Yeah, it's different from my point of view, it's like everything else slows down around me. So I still saw everything, but I guess all you seen was the moment we arrived."

"That must be nice, I wish I could move that quickly. It would make running errands... Hey wait, you tricked me in doing errands for you when you could do it so much faster. BRO THAT'S MEAN!!" You just stick out your tongue, "What'cha going to do about it Azzy?" By now people are staring at the both of you, but you both didn't care. Asriel launches some fireballs at you, but you easily dodge, "You're going have to try harder then that."

"You're cheating, you can move quicker then I could even hope to match."

"Aw, well if you want a handicap you just need to say so." You hold perfectly still and he lobs more fireballs in your direction. You the summon your own fireballs to intercept his, "See, I don't need to dodge. I can just-" Someone shouts at the both of you, "Hey, you're both causing a commotion! If you want to practice magic don't do it in town." You both see an angry bunny monster in a door-way.

The bunny monster from the Inn makes her way over, "Oh, Prince Asriel, I didn't realize it was you. I didn't mean to raise my voice, I wasn't sure who was making all the ruckus out here, but you shouldn't be using magic in town like that. Your going to set a bad example of how the Royal family should act." You see Asriel gaze fall, "I'm s-sorry." This doesn't sit well with you, "Listen, we may have gotten a little carried away, but doesn't mean you can speak to Azzy like that. Royalty or not he should be able to have fun like any other kid."

You grab Asriel by the hand, "We'll leave since apparently we're not welcome here." You both start walking and you could hear the bunny monster saying something, but you end up ignoring her. Asriel has been quiet all the way to Waterfall, you stop and look back at him, "You okay Azzy?" His mood still gloomy from earlier. So you decide to do something you knew that would snap him out of his rut. You move in front of him and lift his head with your hands, he was about to say something, but then you kiss him on his snootle.

A blush appears on his face as he begins flailing about as he topples backwards landing on his butt. You stand there laughing a bit. Asriel still flustered about what you did, "W-what w-was that for Bro?"

"You seemed a bit down, thought I do something to cheer you up. Seems like it worked somewhat, do you want to talk about it?" You move to sit next to him. He shuffles a bit in place and brings his legs up to his chest. He rest his arms on his knees and rest his chin on his arms, "Not much to talk about, it's been like this before you fell down here. I never had any real friends, just those who pretended since I was the prince and it was always lonely.

"It's why I was happy the day you came to be down here. You never treated me like that, you treated me like how a friend should and then you became family. I wasn't alone anymore, which is why when you left that time through the barrier I was so worried. I didn't want to be alone again, I needed to find you no matter-" He's cut short as you pull him close to you, "Don't worry Azzy, no matter what happens I'll find my way back. Even if I die I swear I'll find a way to come back to you."

Tears are rolling down Asriel's face and you wipe them with you sleeve, "We've got to work on our emotion one of these days Azzy. We're both kind of a mess." both of you give a light chuckle.

"Sorry Bro, I'm just happy to hear you say that, but do me a favor and don't die on me. I don't think I handle something like could that even if your did come back from the dead." You both slowly smile then it turns into laughter. "Well I don't think you have to worry about that to much, I've been close to death so many times." This got Asriel attention, "What do you mean Bro?" You face palm, "Looks like I said more then I meant to again.

"Listen Azzy, When I was in that lab I fought so many terrifying things. Each one I fought I thought, "This is it, I'm going to die today", but I always manage to come out alive. A fraction of these memories are the cause of my the nightmares I have, but I say most of my life before I ended up down here has been one big nightmare."

Asriel is looking at you horrified, "Bro, that must have been awful. Having to fight to stay alive, did that go on all the time before you were brought here?"

"Mostly, if they weren't having me battle for my life they'd have me hooked up to equipment, taking reading and then I would be returned to my cell." Asriel looks as though he was going to cry again, but you just shake him a little, "Listen Azzy, it's done and I'm happy now. I don't want you crying every-time I tell you something about my past. If there's someone who should be crying, it should be me, but I moved on crying about those moments-"

You pause for a moment, "At least most of the time, but he doesn't need to know that. I've dumped to much on him as is."

"_-_So I don't want you to worry to much about it okay." you finish up.

He just nods, "Even so Bro, if you ever need an ear-" You just ruffle his head fur, "How'd this become about me all of a sudden. We were talking about you and this whole Royalty stick. Is that some of the stuff I miss out on when you, mom, and dad go out together?" He nods again, "Yeah, they go over what is expected of us, meeting monster and helping them with any problems they have."

"Sounds like a drag, so none of that seems to go on when we all go out together, why's that?"

"Oh, mom and dad don't want you to feel as though you should be responsible for Royal matter, but it seem like you've done that anyway. This whole barrier matter is more then enough responsibility as is."

You sigh, "Still they made me part of the family, you don't have to fret over such-" Asriel interjects, "They wanted to, but then all these matters cropped up. They just decided that adding Royal matters would cause you to much stress." You just chuckle, "Seriously Azzy, I fought horrifying creature and they worried about giving me more responsibility to deal with. Compared to that I think it would be a cake walk or pie in mom's case."

"I guess you have a point, but you never tell them much of your past."

"And for good reason Azzy, they'd try even harder to try and shield me even more so."

"I guess we have it hard no matter what we try to do. If your honest it'll make things harder for them and if you keep things from them, then it makes it harder for you."

"Which is why I'm trying to trickle information a little at a time. It helps both sides have time to adjust. Beside, I always have you to listen to me as you do me." Asriel gets up and brushes himself off, "Well we should get home, I think we've been out long enough." He holds out a hand to help you up. You take it and work yourself up, "Sure, but before we head back, I think I was a little rude to the Innkeeper. I don't want to cause an issue for mom and dad. So as much as I don't want to I should go apologies."

Asriel keeps the grip on your hand, "I think you mean we. I sort of got carried away with using magic in town. Guess I got caught up in the moment."

"Well they better expect more trouble from us, we're going to torment them everyday from now on." You give a little roar and use your hands to look intimidating, but failing. Asriel is just laughing, "I don't think that's going to help our cause Bro." You put on a fake pouty face, "You're no fun Azzy, we could be treated like Royalty."

"I'm already treated like Royalty remember." You get a sly grin and tackle him to the ground, "You sure about that, you don't look much like Royalty on your back-" You're flung off by Asriel a few feet behind him, landing perfectly on your feet. Asriel gets up and is grinning, "I'll have your give me proper respect yet Bro." He hurls several fireballs at you, "At this rate I'll be waiting a long time. Want another handicap?" Apparently you got cocky and missed something during Asriel last couple magic sessions.

Several of the fireballs stopped in front of you a detonate, blinding you for a moment. Asriel leaps through the explosion, ready to grapple you, but you use Swift-Step to move out of the way. You watch Asriel momentum send him face first into the ground. "You okay Azzy? That was a neat trick, when did you learn that? I don't think that's something mom would have taught you."

He gets up, sweater and pants covered in dirt, "Learned it by accident one day. I was practicing and was trying to see if I could make a pillar of fire like you did, but instead it blew up in my face, literally. Mom asked how I got so dirty that day."

"Well it would've worked, but you kind of forgot I can move easily out of the way. Your also going to have to explain to mom how you got so dirty." He looks down at his sweater, "Maybe we can get washed up back in Snowdin before we head home. Also I didn't forgot, I was just hoping to catch you off guard."

"You still a ways to go before you can surpris-" In mid-sentence you get tackled to the ground, "You were saying?" You just laugh, "You're learning, but don't let it go to your head." You sit up on your elbows and kiss him on the snootle again. He blushes, "Because I can play dirty myself. Now we both need to get cleaned up. I could get us home and into the bathroom without being seen. We could take a bath-"

A pawed hand pushes your head back down into the ground and gets up off of you,"Think I'll pass on that Bro. Why you always trying to take a bath with me anyway?"

"Just fun teasing you and seeing the embarrassed look on your face, you're so cute, but I won't force you if you don't want to. Though you best watch yourself, one day I may sneak in on-" Asriel starts walking off. "Aw, come on Azzy I'm just kidding." You quickly get up off the ground and catch up with him. You both apologized to Innkeeper and she allowed you to get cleaned up at the Inn.

You both get home and come in smelling the scent of food in the air. After some lunch you both relax with some games and drawings. The day goes by and both of you eventually gets back to your home schooling and magic practice, but after a week goes by you make final preparations for heading to the surface. You visited Gaster and got a list of item he required. He told you just to bring back what you could. You hike up your backpack and go join the rest of you family at the barrier.

You see Asgore, Toriel and Asriel waiting patiently for you as you finish descending down the steps.

You walk over and embrace both Toriel and Asgore in a hug the best you could.

They return the hug, "My child, please be careful out there. If you feel as though your in any trouble please come back immediately."

"Agreed and do not worry if you can not find what you are looking for right away. There's plenty of time to look for information on the surface, you getting back here is our number one concern." Asgore finished.

You pull away, "I'd like to agree with you, but I'm afraid we're on a bit of a time limit. I hate to give you more concern, but I think you should tell you little more before I head out. The organization that did experiments on me are the same ones those robot in the ruins belonged to. I'm sure they were simply dispose of them like myself, but I have a feeling that is far from it. The organization is called, "Dualality" and they're tied in with the current barrier."

Toriel has a grave expression, "My child this is disturbing news, why didn't you tell us back when you told us about the barrier?"

"Mainly because I didn't want to drop this on you all at once and secondly I felt this may change your mind about letting me go. I know this is really sudden, but I'm worried we need deal with this barrier situation out soon or Dualality may become a threat to all monster-kind if left unchecked for to long."

Asgore looks troubled by the news, "I see, that is rather big problem, but if they haven't made a move themselves the it's safe to say they're still lacking something. If they know about the legends, then shouldn't they know they only need seven Souls to remove the barrier?"

"If they did know the requirement to remove the barrier the they'd done so already. I think information like this may have been kept cryptic. If the mages who brought you to the underground were to keep the monsters safe they wouldn't want that knowledge to fall into the wrong hands."

Asgore nods in agreement, "That does make since. Which mean that task at hand is going to be of a challenge for you then before. I guess it's lucky you found what you have first." You think to yourself, "I wish it was pure luck, but if it wasn't for Yagitha and Ellana's help I'd still be stuck at square one. Though I guess the book mom gave me did also help, I don't think Yagitha would have pointing me to Ellana if I hadn't had it on me."

Toriel speaks up after you've been silent for a moment, "My child is there anything else you like to ask or tell us before you head out?" You snap out of your thoughts and think about anything else that need to be addressed. "There is more, but I really would rather wait til I get back, if that's okay." They both nod, "Of course, we'll be ready to listen once you return." Asgore finishes. "Unless it's late, then we'll discuss it in the morning." Toriel follow up.

You peer over at Asriel who looks a bit left out, you move next to him and give him a smile. He returns it and you move down and whisper in his ear, "Sorry about dragging this out longer then I intended. I thought long and hard over the week about if I should tell them more or not before I headed out." He whispers back, "It's cool, I'm proud of you Bro. I'm glad you worked up the courage to tell them more." He then takes your hand in his.

Toriel and Asgore look at you both whispering to each other, "What are you both telling each other?". You chuckle, "Nothing, just brothers giving each other some encouragement." They both give you a playful smile, "Of course, I'm sure you two wouldn't be up to something while we are standing right here, right Gorey?" he nods, "Of course not." He give you both a quick wink.

Asriel lets your hand go and you give them all another hug. As you finish your hug with Asriel, "Well Azzy, I'll be back as soon as I can. Hold down the forte for me will ya. Help mom and dad with anything they need and stay safe."

"You stay safe to Bro, remember what I said and come back to us." You grab and pull him in one last big hug and he returns it. You pull away reluctantly, "Well if this departure goes on any longer the entire day will go by before I can do anything. I'll see you all when I get back." You give them a final wave and in a blink of an eye your gone. "That's still so cool, I wish I would do that."

"I don't think so my child, you've already gotten hurt enough without adding super speed into the mix. Now let's all head home, we have some other topics to go over." Asriel mood drops, "Aw, but I thought we finished with everything today." Asgore picks him up and sits him on his shoulder, "Just a few matters we like to go over with you about the Kingdom and the Underground." Asriel sighs reluctantly, "Okay." They all make their way up the stairs as you make your way to where you met Ellana.
