Lore and Story

## **Backstory**

Long ago, two beings came into existence, The King of Existence and The Queen of Existence. After a while, more individuals such as Mistress Fate and the Narrator came into being.

After a while, stories created by The King and The Queen were created. This caused several other universes and timelines to spawn. The original two stories were deemed the Main Timeline.

To watch over the multiverse, Mistress Fate found individuals for every character in the Undertale and Deltarune universes and made them the gods and guardians of those individuals.

After Laurial was fired, Mistress Fate locked away the Main Timeline and kept the Sword of Fate hidden away from anyone else.

### Laurial

The god and guardian of Ralsei was a demon named Laurial. One day, he met a Flowey who was trying to kill someone. He tired the flower out again and again as the flower reset time to try to defeat Laurial. Eventually, Flowey gave up. In his pride, Laurial accidentally allowed Flowey to escape, causing the flower to absorb the soul of a Kris. Using this newfound power, Zenith Flowey killed over a third of the multiverse. In order to defeat Flowey, Laurial used the Sword of Time to cut away Zenith Flowey and erase him from the timeline.

Due to Laurial's mistake, he was fired and stripped of his godhood. While travelling, he encountered the Lonely Kingdom. During his visit there, he got into a heated argument with Grillby, causing him to accidentally summon a rain cloud above Grillby through emotional magic. This resulted in Grillby's death. After going through a morality crisis, Laurial took over Grillby's.

### Eggs

Eggs met a Roaring Knight at a young age. They were then trained as a knight-in-training. They and the Knight explored the multiverse through portals that the Knight made. The Knight seemed to enjoy camping.

Eggs also had a bad experience with fire (further elaboration needed).

During their trips, Eggs met several individuals such as The King of the Universe, who gifted him a Toby Treat. He also found two shadow crystals.

### Vacuum

Registered Vacuum (or Vacuum for short) was brought to life when Dr. Charlotte accidentally split determination over him. He was brought to life and worked with Dr. Charlotte for several years, before he and Dr. Charlotte had a falling out and he left. He then travelled the multiverse for several hundred years. He stole many objects, such as a shadow crystal, a Toby Treat and millions of kromer.

### The Narrator

The Narrator is one of the many narrators created by Toby Fox (The King of the Universe). He resides(resided) behind the fourth wall and narrates many individuals. He has had many existential crises over not having a corporeal form. (link)

### Aholde

He is just your average human who got stuck with the others here underground. His soul color is Yellow, and he tends to carry around a Ralsei plush at all times, He has blond hair and white skin color. He makes jokes, some dark ones as well. One time he read page 57 which would lead to the discovery of the death of Grillby. He also learnt a spell called Suffocation, which resulted in him killing the Narrator. He also Knows about and makes a lot of molotov cocktails, which he has a tendency of setting fire to the room. (link)

## **The First Timeline**

### The Beginning

Laurial entered the Lost Kingdom. After living there for a while, he got into a heated argument with Grillby, causing him to accidentally kill him using emotion magic. He then took over the bar.

Later, Vacuum and Aholde entered the Kingdom. Aholde explored while Vacuum conversed with Laurial. While Laurial was gone, Ochre arrived at the Kingdom. He was served two hotdogs by Vacuum for free before Laurial cane back and made Ochre pay for the hotdogs. While chatting, Eggs appeared. After Ochre threatened to eat Eggs, while Vacuum and Laurial attempted to diffuse the situation, Ochre and Laurial started a fight, ending in a mutual spare. Afterwards, Ochre left to go sleep.

Eggs, Vacuum and Laurial started to talk once he was gone. They discusssed their origins, their pasts, their dreams and aspirations. During this time, Laurial opened up and revealed his backstory. He also had several panic attacks. Eggs gave him a liquid called 'Zen' to calm him down, something which will be used multiple times moving forward.

They then discussed artefacts and people, such as the Toby Treat and the shadow crystal, and Mistress Fate. Laurial also taught Eggs Hyperbeam.

The Narrator then appeared, first threatening to eat Eggs and then leaving when Eggs seemed unimpressed. Ochre showed up. After Laurial caught him up in everything he had missed, he taught Ochre some basic healing magic.

The Narrator then reappeared, starting off behind the fourth wall and being irritated whenever someone would break it, but then became used to the constant destruction of the fourth wall.

Ochre offered to work for Laurial as a Sous chef. Vacuum gave Ochre money and revealed that he was actually a major thief. The Narrator also had several mental breakdowns over the nature of his existence. Afterwards, Nat (Narrator) took over the bathroom as his residence. They also met Bluey, who tried to eat Nat before realising that Nat was incorporeal.

Eggs, Laurial and Aholde started to relax on the beach. Eggs bought books for them to read. Aholde noticed that one of them was Laurial's diary. For fun, he flipped to a random page and read it out loud.

'Page:57 Today, I killed someone'

Aholde reading this out loud causes Eggs to question Laurial. Laurial then tearfully confessed they had accidentally killed Grillby through 'emotion magic' (summoning a raincloud above Grillby) during a heated argument between the two. Eggs and Aholde both comforted Laurial.

### The Lonely Kingdom

Once Vacuum and Ochre had returned to the Kingdom, they all decided to move to a leaderless, far away Kingdom which was once ruled by Laurial's father. They invited everyone over once the Kingdom was in working order again, and everyone was well acquainted.

They also added a library which they could change and add information too. This became known as the Wiki. Vacuum became the Lorekeeper and the librarian of the Wiki.

After settling into the dark world, they met a Ralsei. Laurial was instantly smitten and asked the Ralsei to date or even marry them. After several rejections, Ralsei said that he would marry Laurial. However, immediately afterwards, Ralsei started to flirt with Laurial's friends .

In a fit of rage, Laurial used emotion magic to burn the room down. Once he calmed down, he put out the fire and ran away.

He was found by Eggs and Vacuum who gave him Zen to calm down. Vacuum said that he forgave Laurial once Laurial confessed to Eggs what he had done. Eggs told Laurial that it was okay and hugged him.

### A Murder Quite Foul and A Murder Quite Fair

Vacuum and Narrator were watching as Eggs and Aholde were training. They decided to use Nat as a test dummy as he could not be harmed and was immortal. Eggs used Snowgrave, which was ineffective and Aholde found a new spell called Suffocation.

Aholde used it on Nat, which resulted in the Narrator's death. The Deadonator (Dead Narrator) started to talk to them, solidifying that he was dead. After panicking, Aholde put Narrator's ashes in a jar to keep them safe.

Aholde placed the jar on his dorm and asked Ralsei whether he should regret what he did. Ralsei told him that he shouldn't, causing Aholde to get mad and yell Ralsei to get out of his dorm.

When he woke up, he met with Vacuum in the garden and looked at the flowers. Vacuum then suggested spreading Narrator's ashes on an object and then injecting with DETERMINATION. They agreed to use a dead cat and Vacuum took out one from his storage and gave it to Aholde.

In the meantime, Rouxls was wondering why he hadn't heard from the Narrator in a while. When he asked Vacuum, Vacuum told him that the Narrator was very tired and needed to rest. Rouxls then attempted to trick Vacuum into an obvious trap which Vacuum denied. When Vacuum returned, Deadonator started to speak to him and told him not to tell Rouxls that he was dead.

Laurial confronted Vacuum about where Narrator went and Vacuum confessed that Narrator was dead. The Deadonator then appeared and started speaking crypticly. Laurial then went and told Rouxls what had happened. After calming down Rouxls by telling him that he and Aholde had a plan to revive Narrator, Vacuum went to his room to relax.

Rouxls then broke in and attempted to capture Vacuum before Laurial told him that Vacuum was not exactly a lightner. This seemed to bring some memories back to Laurial, who ran off to his room and started crying. Vacuum and Rouxls appeared in his room and Vacuum asked why Laurial had been crying once Rouxls left. When Rouxls came back, Laurial told the story of how he had become a 'demon'. Long ago, he had been foolish and accidentally started a Roaring, causing all his friends to be killed. This eventually resulted in him transforming into something partway between a lightner and darkner. He then left and went to his secret compartment in his secret bunker.

While Vacuum was exploring, he discovered Laurial's secret bunker. Laurial's reflection appeared and threatened Vacuum, but Vacuum called Laurial's bluff and went further into the bunker. Laurial's reflection appeared again and told Vacuum that he had built this bunker in order to get some sleep. He also revealed that he is able to send 'reflection' which can use magic but is not physically there. In reality, Laurial was in his secret compartment.

Laurial then called Ralsei to the secret compartment. Vacuum and Rouxls also came, as the only two others who knew of the secret compartment. Laurial asked Ralsei if Ralsei was tired of living. When Ralsei answered 'Probably', Laurial shot him in the stomach, much to Vacuum's shock and Rouxls's dismay. While Vacuum and Rouxls were arguing, Vacuum in defence of Laurial and Rouxls in offence, Laurial revived Ralsei.

Laurial then questioned Ralsei if he would tell anyone. After Vacuum and Laurial had some back and forth banter, Laurial blew off Ralsei's head with a shotgun. Rouxls then excused himself and went to the garden.

In the garden, Rouxls started to shout that he had witnessed a murder, before Vacuum grabbed him and threatened to kill him. Rouxls responded with a laser, which Vacuum's defence stopped from damaging him. Laurial also appeared, which initiated a fight between the three of them. Rouxls used several attacks, such as Satan himself and 1002 lasers, which either Laurial or Vacuum's defence protected Vacuum from.

Eventually it became Vacuum's turn. Vacuum then ate Rouxls, sending him to his pocket dimension. After spitting him out, Vacuum went to his room and Rouxls decided to not tell anyone.

When Aholde returned, Vacuum and him planned to bring back the Narrator and Vacuum left to gather the ingredients left in Aholde’s dorm. On the way, they met back up with Laurial who seemed to be having a morality crisis. They told Laurial that they couldn’t tell anyone about the Ralsei murders and Laurial agreed, albeit with some hesitation.

Laurial and Aholde talked while Vacuum chatted with the Deadonator. Lauiral confessed to the Ralsei murders and wondered how Ochre would feel, surrounded by murderers. Once Vacuum was finished, they started the process. Aholde placed down the cat and poured Nat’s dust over it. Laurial then used a syringe to retract JUSTICE from Aholde’s soul and injected it into the cat.

When Narrator awoke in the cat's body, he started to act like Flowey, causing Laurial to panic and teleport away. Aholde then dodged ‘friendliness pellets’ while Vacuum simply let them hit him. Once Laurial calmed down, he returned and shot a Hyperbeam at the Narrator, knocking him out of the cat body and stunning him back to normal. After making sure that the Narrator was fine, Aholde, Laurial and Vacuum left. Laurial then asked Vacuum to help the upcoming Christmas Party and Vacuum agreed, leaving to go to the Light World Lonely Kingdom.

### Merry Crisis

On Christmas Eve, Eggs finally returned to the Dark World and was faced by Rouxls Kaard, who challenged him in the Love Tunnel. When Eggs asked why, Rouxls Kaard replied that Queen wanted his soul in order to open a new dark fountain. Tired of Rouxls’s shit, Eggs willingly gave up his soul to Rouxls, telling him to return it soon and then promptly face planted into the ground. Rouxls Kaard then proceeded to open a dark fountain with the Dark and Lonely Kingdom, prematurely causing a Roaring. Rouxls then turned to stone immediately. Laurial appeared and realised what was happening. Since Vacuum and Eggs were unavailable, Laurial opened a portal to alert Aholde, but the portal was corrupted and took him onto a spaceship where he was swarmed by eldritch beings. After using Hyperbeam to destroy several of them, he alerted Aholde who sealed the Dark Fountain within the Fountain and stopped the Roaring. Laurial then went away, sending only his reflections to talk to people while he stayed with his husband Cosmo and their son Asriel, a recently converted Flowey. He left a note for Eggs, informing him that he had left Eggs in charge, with Vacuum as the second in command as long as Laurial was gone.

Vacuum and Laurial’s reflection then went into the kitchen where they met Bluey. Laurial then reencountered Ralsei, who said that they were still in love with Laurial. This caused Laurial to be enraged, and his reflection summoned a magic shotgun (like a regular shotgun, but magic) and shot him in the stomach, killing him. Bluey then complained about the mess. Vacuum pointed a revolver at him and threatened him not to tell anyone, to which Bluey agreed nervously. Vacuum then went to the Light and Lonely Kingdom to set up the Christmas Party.

Laurial then met up with Ochre, who had discovered that their soul had become Orange; the colour of Bravery. Laurial said that this instance was very uncommon but not impossible, and encouraged Ochre to research and explore his new soul and push the limits of his new abilities.

Laurial physically arrived for the Christmas party after a few months of being gone. Everyone exchanged presents, some of the most notable being a magically imbued crown for Laurial, the Book of History for Vacuum, a magic sword for Ochre, a Book of Pyro Magic and a flamethrower for Aholde and a hat that makes people physical for the Narrator. Vacuum then headed over to the Dark and Lonely Kingdom to give a pirate ship to Rouxls. He returned and then everyone started to blow up the entire area, despite Laurial’s complaints. Laurial then announced that he had fully returned.

Also, you might be wondering how the hat for Nat works. Well, it doesn’t really matter since we never see him again. Yeah. He’s gone. He just doesn’t appear again.

Laurial left the sword for Ochre in his dorm. Once Ochre returned from his adventure, he practised with the sword and then went to see Laurial. He asked Laurial to summon powerful enemies for Ochre to train against, and Laurial agreed. After Ochre fought against and defeated all the monsters, he headed to his room.

When Aholde visited the Wiki to find out more about Fire magic, he found that the entire place had been vandalised. He alerted the others, who then discussed everything *(in real life, someone did actually vandalise the wiki. To that person, **why**)*. When Laurial returned, he sent everyone but Vacuum into the jail cells to sort everything out. Vacuum had painted the cells with anti-magic paint, preventing everyone from teleporting out.

While Vacuum tried to prevent everyone from escaping, Laurial drank some tea to calm his nerves. He then realised that the tea was poisoned when he started coughing blood. He teleported to his secret bunker, where Aholde went to assist him after blowing up the cell door to escape, setting both him and Ochre free. Aholde helped support Laurial while Ochre went out to the Wild to attempt and find a cure, while Vacuum attempted to fix the Wiki.

Ochre soon returned with the cure and helped Laurial drink it once the poison started worsening. Ochre then left Aholde and Laurial alone, which spurred Laurial to confess to Aholde about his second life, where he had a husband and a son. While they were conversing, Aholde noticed a shadowy figure and attacked it. The figure turned out to be the assassin, which was some sort of large insect which would secrete poison.

While traversing the Wild in order to learn more about his new situation, Ochre finds a portal and unknowingly steps through it, transporting him to another dimension.

Once Laurial had fully recovered and the Wiki fixed, they all informed the Kingdom what had happened. Then, Cosmo arrived by landing his ship in the docking bay and rushing over to Laurial. After they talk, it becomes clear that they are betrothed. After making sure Laurial was alive, Cosmo went around the Lonely Kingdom and was introduced to most of the members, and then left to return to his ship.

### And A Happy New Fear

Using the crown Vacuum gifted him, Laurial looked into the future and saw a vision. This caused him to seek out Eggs and tell him the plan; Eggs would 'betray' Laurial and kill him at the opportune time. After much back and forth, Eggs agreed to the plan, albeit with much doubt and hesitation.

Laurial then informed Aholde that he had a plan, but the plan would incorporate his own death. Aholde then attempted to talk Laurial out of the plan. Cosmo, hearing the announcement, also returned to the Kingdom. While they all argued, Laurial said that they deserved to die, causing him to have a mental breakdown. Aholde and Cosmo then comforted him while he calmed himself down.

Aholde, Laurial and Cosmo returned to Cosmo’s ship, where Rouxls Kaard had taken over. Cosmo and Laurial started talking about gender, with Laurial revealing that mages could change their gender at will. Laurial then transformed into a female, and they boarded the ship once Aholde successfully removed Rouxls by beating him up.

Aholde then constructed a floating island and a cabin through magic, and made a home for himself.

Laurial talked to Jevil and managed to cure his insanity. In gratitude, Jevil offered to become a messenger for the Lonely Kingdom. He tried it with Spamton, but it did not work out well.

Then, a new citizen came to the Kingdom; Doctor Charlotte. After introducing herself to Laurial and Aholde, she encountered Vacuum once again. Vacuum appeared shocked and then left in a hurry. Laurial went to confront Vacuum about how he acted. Vacuum explained how Charlotte and he had worked together in the past, until Charlotte started acting strangely, even starting experiments on humans. After many arguments and body horror, Vacuum left. Hearing this, Charlotte came in and explained what had happened. An alternate version of Charlotte had replaced her when the universes converged. After killing her alternate self in self defence, Charlotte explored the multiverse and continued her research. Charlotte and Vacuum then reconciled. It was also revealed that they had a romantic relationship and were even married.

Charlotte and Vacuum then continued their research. Vacuum teleported both of them to the Wastelands in order for Charlotte to collect dark matter. They left before the negative side effects of Wastelands started to fully kick in. Using science, she combines the dark matter with several other materials in order to create a liquid solution. She then drinks it, much to Vacuum's alarm. However, she manages to stay unharmed. She then displays her new ability to manipulate all non-sentient matter.

Ochre then returned after being gone for two weeks. It was then revealed that the dimensions he travelled to had time augmentation properties, with him having been gone for four years for him. He then also revealed that he had a wife and a daughter, who were an ice fox and an ice/fire fox respectively. Vacuum caught him up on speed on what had happened. Ochre then asked Vacuum how he would be able to return to his dimension to see his wife and kids again. Vacuum then directed Ochre towards Charlotte. Ochre then left in a hurry, accidentally dropping a photo of his family on the way out. Vacuum attempts to follow Ochre but is unable to find him. He hands the photo to Jevil and requests him to return the photo to Ochre if he sees him.

After searching the Kingdom, Ochre discovered Charlotte's lab and starts to talk with her. Charlotte asks for a visual aid to create the portal, causing Ochre to realise that the photo was missing. Before a full blown panic attack, Jevil finds Ochre and returns the photo. Using it, Charlotte opens the portal back to the alternate dimension, allowing Ochre to step through.

Laurial then knew it was time for the plan to commence. She accuses Charlotte of trying to kill her, commencing a fight between the two. During the fight, Laurial drove the both of them to the balcony while Charlotte attempted to reason with Laurial. Then, Eggs dropped down and stabbed Laurial in the back, killing her. She then fell off of the balcony and died. In a state of grief, Aholde attempted to end his own life but failed due to his newly found immortality.

Charlotte, seeing Eggs's face, told everyone what had happened. However, only Vacuum and Ochre believed her, with Ochre having also seen Eggs. Vacuum organised a manhunt for Eggs, with Aholde only joining to stop them from killing Eggs. When they eventually found him, Eggs started to explain what had happened, leading to a reunion between everyone.

Cosmo, hearing what had happened, brought Laurial back from the dead in exchange for his memories. However, Laurial managed to recover Cosmo's memories through several documents, but accidentally became Cosmo's legal mother. Laurial and Cosmo then returned to the Lonely Kingdom, with Laurial explaining she tried to get Eggs to kill her to help save Ochre's life.

### All Downhill From Here

Despite Laurial being revived, Aholde still held some guilt over not being able to save Laurial from death. He then experimented on self harming and trying to kill himself, but always came back to life. This led him to constantly attempting suicide out of a mixture of self hatred and morbid curiosity.

Laurial then attempted to help Aholde while Ochre brought his family to the kingdom and introduced them to everyone. Charlotte and Vacuum started working on their experiments and new job as the Lorekeeper respectively. Cosmo started becoming jealous of how much time Laurial spent with Aholde and even started believing Laurial and Aholde had a romantic relationship.

Vacuum and Charlotte started to rise in power, with Vacuum starting to be able to see into the future and past, and Charlotte gaining a stronger control over physical matter. Meanwhile, Cosmo became more and more envious and depressed, with him attempting to kill himself through hanging. However, Laurial managed to save him before he died. The two of them proclaimed their love once more and made up.

**---NSFW WARNING---**

After a while, Vacuum and Charlotte had sexual intercourse, causing Charlotte to get pregnant. (Yeah. You fucking heard me. That canonically happened. She fucked a vacuum cleaner. And she got pregnant.) Laurial and Cosmo also engaged in sexual intercourse, with Laurial having seemingly forced or pressured Cosmo into the act.

**---NSFW END---**

Laurial then started randomly attacking citizens and other people. Charlotte, Vacuum, Eggs, Aholde, Ochre and Rouxls tried to reason with her and finally managed to get through to her just before she killed Rouxls. While in a state of guilt, she gained another vision which prophesised that the Kingdom would fall into ruin. With no other options, Laurial decided to reset the universe.

## The Second Timeline

In the new timeline, Ochre, Vacuum, Rouxls and Narrator were nowhere to be seen.

### Taste of Love

After resetting the universe, Laurial grappled with the guilt of accidentally killing some of her friends. Aholde only remembered slight snippets of the past, which he brushed off as false memories or dreams. Three new figures appeared, the first being Sun, the second being Jesu and the third being Omen. Sun and Jesu befriended/bullied/were bullied by Eggs and Aholde, while Omen mainly hung around Bluey and Cosmo.

Laurial started becoming more obsessive over Cosmo, watching him at all times and trying to sneakily push him away from other people. She started to kill the people that he interacted with, such as Ralseiperson and Omen. She starts to try and control his behaviour, eventually swallowing him whole and trapping him within her stomach. (Deviantart moment). Cosmo tried to reason with her, but failed to convince her to let him go. Despite her problematic behaviour, Cosmo stayed wilfully ignorant of what she had done.

After a while, Cosmo feared that Laurial would not let him out ever. Cosmo then asked for help from Bluey. Bluey attempted to phase Cosmo out but was caught by Laurial and killed. In retaliation, Omen sought out Laurial and engaged in combat with her. After fighting, she pretended to apologise for what she had done but then stabbed him and killed him. Omen came back, powered by Anger and fought Laurial, almost killing her. However, he decided to spare her at the last moment due to Cosmo's request.

### Not Who He Seems

A mysterious figure who introduced himself as Favian appears. He manages to get along with Laurial, but Aholde is suspicious of him. After finding Favian dragging away a dead body, there is a fight which Laurial manages to break up. They later find the body almost completely eaten, only a few bones and chunks of flesh remaining. Aholde then confides in Eggs, who tries following Favian. They find him seemingly talking to himself, and leave when he discovers them. It is then revealed that Favian is unwillingly working for a being known as 'Onus'.

Another individual, who's face was always covered by smoke set up a shop near the Kingdom. They went by the name Merida, and seemed to have some sort of existing relationship with Favian.

Favian then visited a neighbouring Kingdom, where he met a Frisk from another universe. He befriended them after they talked and danced together within Grillbys. Frisk then started having issues with Chara threatening to take over her body. Hearing the commotion, Laurial hurried over along with Aholde. While trying to calm Frisk down, Aholde gets knocked down to the floor. When Favian attempted to help him up, Aholde accidentally fired at Favian, almost killing him. This causes Chara to be able to escape from Frisk. While Laurial tries to recapture Chara, Favian tries to comfort Frisk, but is suddenly dragged away through an ink portal. There, he is approached by Onus, who looked strikingly similar to Vacuum. Onus talks about how Favian has grown attached to the people he was supposed to scout out for Onus to kill them all. He then locks up Favian within his pocket dimension.

### Friends and Foes

Disguised as Favian, Onus explores the castle himself. At the same time, Laurial and Aholde meet a shy mage named Diamond. Aholde and Diamond establish a connection after hanging out together, with Diamond starting to develop a crush on Aholde. Aholde then invites Diamond over to live on his floating island with him. Sun also comes over to crash at Aholde's place.

Cosmo continues to work on his ship the Hyperion, which is where he, his son Asriel and Laurial live together. Cosmo is suddenly attacked by Ratthew and Underswap Papyrus, who destroy his physical form in the name of the Federation, leaving Cosmo as only a soul. Laurial discovers him and puts him in a jar in order to keep him safe. Her son Asriel discovers it and eats it, believing it to be a cookie. Laurial finds him and demands he spit it out, which Asriel is unable to. In a fit of rage, she kills Asriel by ripping out his eyes and mutilating his torso until she discovers Cosmo's soul again. With the soul, she then inserts it into a physical form, essentially reviving Cosmo.

She then consumes Cosmo again in order to keep him safe. After worrying that he would never be allowed outside, he asks for help from Bluey and Omen. Bluey attempts to sneak Cosmo away but gets caught. However, powered by Anger, Omen fights back against Laurial. He fires a cross at her, tearing through her stomach and killing Cosmo. Laurial notices and loses her will to fight. Omen, unaware of what he did, sends a small cross sue to his exhaustion, which Cosmo's soul uses it's last remaining power to protect Laurial from. The soul then shatters, washing Laurial over with emotions, filling her soul back up with empathy.

Meanwhile, Onus (still disguised as Favian) taunts Aholde and Eggs, with the latter realizing that something was off almost immediately. After Aholde kicks him off of his island, Onus visits Frisk. He drops the disguise and mocks her, taunting her about how he was going to kill Favian. This causes Chara to appear again, who attacks Onus and damages him severely, causing him to retreat. However, she loses a life in the process. Onus then heals from all of his injuries and disguises himself as Favian once again.

Eggs follows Onus to see what was happening. Onus drops his disguise and summons three new individuals, Colos, Thawn and Merida. He instructs each of them to go after different people, with Colos going after Eggs, Thawn after Aholde and Diamond and Merida after Laurial, using Favian as a bargaining chip to threaten them. Eggs then attempts to warn everyone, but is attacked by Colos. He manages to drag himself to Aholde's cabin, where Colos follows him. After a fight scene, Colos drags Eggs into Onus's dimension, with Aholde jumping in afterwards. In there, Onus locks them up in a cell along with Favian. After deciding on a small truce, Eggs insults Onus's tacky strawberry suit, causing Onus to appear in a fit of rage. Eggs then sprays him in the face, allowing them all to escape.

Back on the island, Favian explains the relationship that he, Onus, Colos, Thawn and Merida share. Onus was their father before he revealed his true colours, and was forcing Favian to work for him in exchange for leaving Thawn and Merida alone, with Colos mysteriously appearing and working for Onus. Favian explained how to try and defeat the others, with his advice for Thawn, Merida, Colos and Onus being 'no need to fight', 'no need to fight', 'run as fast as you can' and 'no idea' respectively. Diamond then woke up, with Aholde explaining the situation and Favian introducing himself properly. Favian then went in order to try and warn others of Onus.

Thawn then appeared and initiated a fight between him, Aholde, Eggs and Diamond. Aholde managed to talk Thawn into a truce by explaining that Favian was on their side now. Thawn offered some insight into Onus while speaking to Aholde, painting an unsettling picture of Onus's abuse, manipulation and torture of his own children, with Thawn having lost his right arm to Onus. Favian then reappeared and had some friendly banter with Thawn, before thanking Aholde and putting his hat down to sleep, revealing that he had no eyes in his eye sockets. When asked what happened, Favian confirmed that Onus was, indeed, an abusive, manipulative scumbag, and that Onus was the one who had removed Favian's eyes as a punishment. Aholde also offers Thawn and Favian places to sleep, which they accept.

Due to the lack of available rooms, Aholde offered Diamond to sleep in the same bed as him, causing Diamond to have a ***gay panic*** and run away. Aholde follows him and Diamond attempts to confess to him. Understanding Diamond's messy and panicked confession, Aholde kisses Diamond on the forehead. They then return to the floating island, with Favian revealing that he knew Diamond liked Aholde all along and congratulating them on the new relationship. (Massive uncle vibes) Aholde and Diamond just cuddle each other to sleep.

### Children of Onus

Laurial, distraught over Cosmo's death, headed over to Merida's shop in order to see if she could help her revive Cosmo. On the way there, she was intercepted by Onus storming out of Merida's shop, who convinced her that he would be able to help. Using ink, he merged Cosmo's soul with a physical form created by the ink. He explained that the form would become more humanoid over time, but would still regain some strange physical features. While explaining this, the new Cosmo gained consciousness. He immediately attempted to attack Laurial, but was stopped by Onus who chided him for potentially ruining an alliance. The new Cosmo rebelled, saying they would kill Onus and proclaiming themselves G̸̬͌͐͝ȍ̸͕̾͒d̸̨̤̼̾̉̚.

Laurial rushed into Merida's shop after Onus escaped while G̸̬͌͐͝ȍ̸͕̾͒d̸̨̤̼̾̉̚ went around destroying the kingdom. Merida agreed to help out, but claimed it was only since G̸̬͌͐͝ȍ̸͕̾͒d̸̨̤̼̾̉̚ was being a nuisance. They attempted to use magic to trap him, but failed and were forced to hide. While hiding, Laurial noticed Merida seemed hurt. Despite Merida's insists she was fine, Laurial used her magic to check if she had any injuries, finding several bruises over her body. After being fussed over and questioned, Merida revealed that one, Onus was her father and two, that he had physically abused her recently. However, Merida begged Laurial not to confront Onus about this since this would put her in danger. However, Laurial refused to not confront Onus, causing Merida to use her powers to knock her out.

When Laurial came to, they found Celeste fusing Cosmo's
