Genos perspective of the events

——-

Geno had been overjoyed at learning he was carrying a souling. He had cried tears of joy with Reaper, who had been too scared to hope that they would succeed. With Reaper's death touch and Genos fragment of a SOUL it was a miracle it occured. Thankfully he could now leave the SAVE screen, with the help of the marriage bond, so his little souling would not be stuck in the darkness. When he first held them the love he felt was immense. They were perfect with their tiny toes and white bones.

He did have a scare when they didn't open their eye sockets for days, but when they did his SOUL melted at the innocent curiosity. Pulling them closer to him he was startled at the smack to the face but laughed at how energetic they were. His little Goth. They took feeding so well and were a very calm babybones.

He had been warned by Life about how loud they could be and what he should expect, but he didn't have any issues with his Goth. It always seemed like he was the emotional one, especially when Goth grew wings overnight. Goth had looked startled, then very pleased to have wings to puff up at random.

He was disappointed in Reaper though. How the other refused to be near Goth in fear of hurting them or even touch them, infuriated him. Goth hardly reacted to Reaper when he was actually here and seemed to see him as a stranger in the house. When they started walking that is when he saw issues occur. They seemed curious about everything and put everything in their mouth. If he wasn't such a hardy monster he swore he would have dusted from all the stress the other put him through.

The day he was taken was like any other day. He had put Goth in the living room and went to grab some solid foods they could try, when he was suddenly in a blank white space. He lost all sense of time and his screaming accomplished nothing. He was alone for so long but he refused to forget his Goth, so kept the memories deep even when others seemed to float away,

It felt like one moment he was there and the next he always had been. His bones went fully black and his magic changed. He felt his code corrupt and clung to his Determination to stay alive, for Goth. He felt instructions in his mind on what his new role was. He was the Destroyer now called Error. He was to keep the balance against the Creator Ink.

It took him decades to finally understand his role more and he always felt compelled to go back to the Antivoid after finishing his job. He used his strings to hang items and learnt to knit to have a hobby, while waiting to go out again. Meeting the Creator felt like hate at first sight. This was the idiot that was the Creator? He hated him as he made him have his job he was stuck in.

No one forced him to work, but each time he thought to stop he remembered Goth's tiny features and wanted to make a safe multiverse for his child. When he learnt to make windows to see Into other AU's, he started watching the other. Seeing his babybones grow up with Life was bitter sweet, but his rage at Reaper was immense. While not remembering everything he did know the other had helped make Goth and his lack of presence enraged him. If he subtly pranked the other while doing his job, that was his business.

He was always tempted to go to Goth, but knew a target would be painted on the others back. Inks lack of SOUL made him a wild card and he had seen how persuasive the other could be to get his ideas implemented. Having Dream by his side made it worse.

The years passed by and he was again fighting Ink for another AU. He sometimes wished the other could die, but sadly his life was never that easy so he was stuck beating the other down. Sensing death magic he assumed Reaper was nearby and thought it a perfect chance to grab a hostage, to escape this pointless battle.

When he made it to the Antivioid he realised his mistake. His eyesight was much worse then he remembered and from far away this monster could be seen similar to Reaper. He had grabbed Goth. Before he could even think on what to do Goth spoke.

"Are you going to do it then?"

" What? "

The first time he got to talk to his child and he sounded like an idiot. He was not prepared and didn't think he ever would be. The next comment fully threw him.

"My SOUL. Are you not going to crush it?".

He could not prevent himself staggering away, as if the distance would get the words out of his mind. He knew he was going to Crash and felt himself still. When he awoke the other was still here and this sadly wasn't a new horror his mind had conjured for him. What had others done to his Goth? The other didn't even look resigned, more curious. He had seen monsters talk about the weather with more emotion than this.

" I-I'm n-not going to h-hurt you G-g-goth "

He scowled in frustration at his voice glitching on him. He always sounded worse after a Crash. Sadly this must have been taken as anger, as the other 'helpfully' explained how to make it easier. He wished he had been anywhere else than listening to his child explain they had a bond, so it might be harder to hurt him; but no worries! Goth was sure Error could easily cut it off!

He wouldn't wish this experience even on Ink, with his devil spawn of a child. He felt his hands clench in anger at Reaper's failure as a parent. He stayed away as he trusted the other to raise Goth, not make them tell strange monsters how to hurt them easier!

" We need t-to leave n-now ".

He was not equipped for this and needed Nightmare. He was congratulating his past self for agreeing to a truce and learning how soft the other was towards his subordinates. The other must know what to do. Dragging the other through a portal to NIghtmares castle, he headed straight to the others office and pushed the doors open with zero concern. Eyelights focused on the other he must have looked especially crazed, as Nightmare tentacles had spiked in aggression. With only one thought on his mind he dragged Goth forward.

" Fix him! "

That must not have been enough as the other was still staring at him in bewilderment. At least he was less aggressive now.

" His father is an idiot. Zero self preservation instinct. Fix him ".

"Error. I have no idea who this is and... is this a child? Why are they so calm Error? What did you do?!"

Glad they were on a similar page now, he explained what he remembered from his past and whose child this was. While avoiding outright stating he was his. The other already knew of his forced role so that was easily ignored and he was scared how Goth would react . He could tell Nightmare was regretting all his life choices, with the face he made. His reluctant nod was approval though, so looking at Goth he introduced the other. He was not expecting Goth to straighten up and look at each of them in their eyelights and introduce himself.

"Greetings. I am named Goth and am the overviewer for balancing SOULS. Pleasure to meet your acquaintance Destroyer and Guardian of Negativity".

Power could be felt in that introduction and the formal and calm delivery was chilling. Who made his baby have a role already? He was already seeing a lot of dusted monsters in his future and Reaper was climbing the list fast. Even Nightmare looked unsettled, his face might be neutral but the lashing his tentacles were doing was a clear sign of his emotions.

"There is no need for formalities here Goth. Why don't you follow this shadow papyrus who will show you your room you will be staying in. I will visit to tell you the rules of your visit later".

As Goth left Nightmares gaze narrowed on him.

"He can stay and I'll make sure the boys don't do anything. You will have to deal with Reaper though. You can't avoid this forever. He will come for his child and might involve the Star sans".

Error knew all this already but he would do anything for Goth, so he had already accepted the future difficulties he would have to go through. He would be the number one target after Ink saw him. The only positive was that this should slow new AU's being made, so he wouldn't be needed as much.

Opening a portal to the Antivoid he sagged against his beanbag. This would be so much easier if he didnt care about others, but sadly he did. Opening a window he watched Goth flutter around the new room in interest and contentment. Closing that he started to stalk Ink. He wanted to be prepared for what the other may do. He took out his knitting needles and started to relax. If he was going to have to deal with that he would enjoy what time he had free now.
