Y/n = Your Name
P/w = Preferred Weapon

(Y/n's pov)


I sat on the grass and enjoyed the view with Life. The place gave me some memories as a kid growing up here in ReaperTale. I wonder why have I forgot about it.. is my Amnesia really that bad? Or is Death actually true that someone forcefully or intentionally removed my memories? If so, why did they removed my memories? Is there something that they wanted to remove permanently from my mind?


I shook away the thoughts and let my mind focused on the beautiful landscape in Life's Garden.


"My child, how did you managed to get here at ease when you don't have any recollection of your memories?" Mom asked in slight confusion.


"A friend taught me how to teleport. They helped me get here."


"Oh? Who is this friend that you call of?"


"Chara." I saw her body go stiff as she heard the name.


"Chara? Could you please tell me what she looked like?" She asked cautiously. I gave a glance of confusion but answered her question as to not being rude.


"Well, they have Brown hair, Crimson red eyes, a pink blush on her cheeks, and their skin is almost pale. Their clothing were green and a single strip of Yellow in the middle, they have a brown short, and a Darkish-Brown boots." I noticed that Life slumped down her shoulders.


"Oh, your Chara."


"What do you mean 'Your Chara'?"


"Er.. it's a bit complicated but I'll try my very best to answer your question. The Au —or Alternate Universe— has many different alternate versions of Us. For instance, the original Au—which is Undertale— their Sans is Lazy and somewhat pessimistic but in Underswap, the Sans over there is Energetic and optimistic like Papyrus."


"Huh.. I think, I've read that about the different personalities in each Au. Like how it'll represent their own Alternate Universe in the Creators way. Like Uhm.. Underfell, the creator intended to make the characters be the opposite of the original Au where they show kindness and empathy to each other. So, that's what the Monsters are acting by how the creator wants it. Rude, hungry for power, Neglecting pain, and no Empathy to each other. Just like controlling a puppet, the person who controls it, does whatever they want on the puppet." Life smiled and nodded.


"Impressive! You know much more about Au's than I am. You certainly know what to say and how to explain about it. How did you know all of these my child?"


"I've read a book about Au's which I didn't know that it will be helpful on to this day."


"That book was rather convenient, huh?" I nodded in agreement.


"It is. And I'm glad that I found it."


"Hey Li- y/n? How did you managed to get here? Is nightmare with you?" I turned to my right and saw Death.


"No. Nightmare isn't here."


"Then, how did you managed to get here?"


"I teleported." I saw him flash a smile.


"Huh, is your memories coming back?"


"Sadly, no. My Chara taught me how to teleport." I explained. He muttered something incoherent under his breathe.


"Anyway, y/n do you wanna come to the underworld and meet my brother? He'd be Dying to see you." He offered. I smiled and nodded.


"Of course! I'd like to see your brother. I might have another piece of memory when I get there." He genuinely smiled at me.


"Great! Let's go. I'm sure he'd bee surprised to sea you." He says as he let out his hand. I took it and we both were teleported in a dark, sad-looking place.


The place is giving me a sudden nostalgia. And before I knew it, I was suddenly attacked by the flashbacks of my forgotten memories.


~~Le Flashback~~


"W-where are we and why are we here?" The little girl asked the skeleton in black cloak.


"We're at my place, the Underworld. And we're here because this is where you'll be training your powers with me and my brother. Though, you need to be careful and not to touch me and my brother."


"Why?" She asked lookin at him, her head was tilted in confusion.


"You'll die if we touched you because, we're both the god of death, the one that mortals feared." He says in a nonchalant voice.


"That's what mommy told me about you guys also." He looks at the little girl with confusion.


"Your... Mommy?"


"Life. She's my mommy."


"Oh, life. Of course her." He says while he lets out a sigh. She tilted her head.


"Is there a problem mr. Death?" He waved his hand and turned his head the other way.


"Yes, I'm fine." He says, sounding bored about their conversation. "Anyway, let's start."


**~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~**


"Now to summon your weapon, you must close your eyes and imagine your choice of weapon. It'll be easy once you kept on practicing it." Death says and the little girl did so.


She closed her eyes and imagined her choice of weapon. It was a p/w. She felt the handle around her grip and slowly, she opened her eyes and saw a p/w on her hand/s. She heard someone clap slowly.


"Congrats on summoning your weapon easily. You are quite a fast learner." He says as he began examining her weapon.


"Huh.." The god of Death looked dazed when he noticed how her weapon is different.


"Is there something wrong mr. Death?" She tilted her head slightly confused.


"Hm? Oh, no. There's nothing wrong. You did it perfectly, but..." He pauses, "Never mind."


"Are you sure?" She asked as she got closer to him.


"Yes, I'm sure kid." She bit her inner cheek, y/n got a feeling that he's lying. She suddenly hugs him.


"Please don't be afraid to tell me if something's bothering you." Death was surprised from the hug, he was processing until something clicked in his mind.


"Kid let go. I told you not to touch me or else you'll die." He says with slight fear for the child.


"Oh right..." she quickly let go of the god of death. He looks at the girl sadly, he was expecting her to wither like every mortals or living creatures he touched but, nothing happened.


"W-What..?" He asked completely Baffled. How did she not wither or die by the touch of death? 'Did she already died- oh dear asgore I hope no.' He thought slightly anxious for the girl.


The little girl looks at him, confusion was written on her face. "What's wrong?"


"Y-you're supposed to wither when you touched me but, you didn't.. how did you not die from my touch— did you died already?" Y/n shook her head.


"I know to myself that I haven't died yet mr. Death. I am here, alive and well." She says. "Please stop joking around now death." She adds. Death calms down slightly, his hands were slightly shaking still.


"Y-yeah. You're right. I must be hallucinating I guess.." he says trying to convince himself that maybe it was luck that she didn't died from his touch.


~~End of Le Flashbacc~~


I touched death before... I remember reading about this Au. The touch of the god of death will instantly kill you.. but I managed to live up to this day. How was that possible that I managed to touch him? Is my soul or magic related to me being able to touch the god of death himself?


I shook off the thoughts and focused as to why am I here. To practice my magic, of course..
