[THIS IS ABOUT THE KINDNESS & PERSEVERANCE SOULS, NONE OF THIS IS CANON TO UNDERTALE, BUT IS MERELY MY IMAGINATION!!]
long ago, before you and i were a mere thought in someone's mind, two races thrived amongst the earth.
humans and monsters lived side-by-side for centuries, harmonious and kind in their coexistence.
but one day, humans declared war upon monsterkind. the monsters, alarmed and wishing to defend themselves, fought back with all they had...
the war was long and reluctant, draining on both sides. many were lost.
but eventually, the humans brought monsterkind to their knees, having defeated them in countless battles.
and so, with the powers of humanity's strongest mages, monsterkind was sealed away, trapped forever underground with a magical seal.
every kid knows the story. it's actually a rather popular nursery rhyme nowadays... sometimes i'd pass the kindergarten kids and hear them singing the story, their voices cheerful and fresh.
but, if i'm being honest, i've never really liked it that much. sure, it sounds nice, but the idea of being sealed away forever scares me.
i was 8 when me and my older sibling went to Mt. Ebbot with our dad, back before mom left. a hiking trip...
long story short, the two of us snuck away from our dad and strayed off the trail. we found a hole. a hole deeper than anything we'd ever seen before. the wind ramped up, as it the wind blew at a whipping speed this high up the mountain, and my hairclip came off, landing just at the ledge. my sibling ran to grab it for me.
but as they stood there, the ledge cracked. they tossed it towards me as they fell.
that was the last time i ever saw them.
dad didn't believe me. the police didn't believe me. it was just a folktale, after all. maybe i was just a child with an overactive imagination.
but the hole is still there.
and i'm going to go back to that mountain.
and i'm going to find my sibling.
even though nobody is said to return from mt. ebbot, i have to try. it's all i can hope for.
