Ar's P.O.V
Words.
I keep hearing them as I walk.
These flowers are truly amazing.
They keep repeating the last thing they heard.
I have to admit, I didn't think the waterfall would be this big and beautiful. It's dark but it's pleasant.
The place is lit up with blue and purple stones. The water running is a very peaceful sound, even the monsters seem to stay away from any encounters.
I didn't mind. I wasn't in the mood to fight anyway.
Surprising enough, Flowey seemed very quiet. He won't even reply to our psychic link. I'm not sure if he's annoyed, sleeping, or distracted.
M.K and I were sitting at the edge of a small pond. I had my feet in the pond, my sand colored boots next to me.
Surprisingly, the water was warm. I kicked my feet around gently, making ripples in the water. M.K was looking at his reflection in the pond.
"So, you're another human?" He asked, not looking at me. I didn't look at him either. I just looked ahead of me. "Mhm." I replied, almost in a daze.
He giggled a bit. "Humans falling down is very uncommon, and yet there are three in the underground now!" He exclaimed.
I chuckled softly. "Life can be unexpected." I said.
"Hey, if you don't mind me asking..how did you fall?" M.K asked. I was going to answer but I frowned. I stoped resting and stared at the pond.
What was I doing before this? Why did I fall?
I closed my eyes as a headache formed in my head. It seemed that whatever I was forgetting was causing me a massive headache.
"I...I'm not sure, it's all a blur." I replied, looking at M.K. He tilted his head. "Do you recall anything? Any sounds?" He asked.
I squinted. "Well...there's...shouting? Crying...." I said, staring down at the water at my reflection.
It was quiet now.
I was about to look at M.K when he leaned against me. It was some form of hug?
"Well, I'm sure you'll remember eventually." he said, yawning a bit. I smiled and laughed a bit. "Are you tired?"
"Just a bit. It's been a long day, besides, we've been walking for a long time." he said, stretching his legs and moving away from the body of water.
I take my feet from the water and do the same. "Well, I guess a nap never hurt anyone." I said, lying down. "Wait, what about—"
"I don't think Undyne knows where this place is, it's pretty secluded." M.K replied, clearly tired. I sighed in relief and placed my hands on my stomach.
I looked up at the crystals in the roof. They really do look like stars...
"Night M.K."
"Night Ar."
Soon, both creatures were sound asleep.

No one's P.O.V
Soft spoken words, we always listen, to those who wish. What have you to say?
A girl with long straight dark blue hair is seen dancing around the waterfall. She has a blue and light blue stripped sweater and a bright pink tutu with matching shoes.
Human, what is it that you want for mercy?
The girl stops dancing as she looks down at her reflection in the pond.
We keep secrets, tell us everything! Words are just words, and if you're really good..
A boy with dark purple hair is seen writing down on a torn up notebook while he watches some monsters chatter happily. He smiles, pushing his purple glasses back.
Then you should know, no matter what, not to fight.
The boy stops writing, fear clearly plastered on his face as he looks up.
Can you still spare her?
The girl jumps away from the pond as two glowing blue spears strike the ground where she once was. Heavy armored footsteps are heard.
The boy stands up, trembling in fear as the armored lady starts walking up to him, spear in hand.
Is it just....for you to still exist?
The girl begins to dance out of the way of rising spears from the ground, making sure not to land on the water.
The boy deflects the spears directed at him with his notebook. He's still shaking.
Can you survive this? Is this right?
The girl looks at the lady in the armor. She towers over the young dancer, but the latter doesn't back away. She stands her ground.
The trembling boy tries to speak to the head of the royal guard, but she just stares down at him with disgust, unseen through her helmet.
Are you prepared to fight?
Without hesitation, the young dancer rushes at the armored girl, rapidly kicking her armored body.
The boy stumbles as he tries to run away from the armored warrior; heavy footsteps rush after him. He's crying now.
If it would help this, just one wish, we'll babble back and fourth...
"Just leave me alone!"
"P-please, I don't w-wan-want troubl-ble.."
Maybe it's senseless, and pointless..
After a wrong fall, the girl looks up at the female towering over her. She looks at her with fear in her eyes until her shining blue soul appears in front of her; It is stabbed by a glowing blue spear. The girl's eyes well up with tears and her body scatters into blue petals. Only her tutu remains, along with her slippers that have something etched on the soles: For my favorite little dancer.
The boy runs until he's close to a shop of some sort. He is then tripped by a spear and he collides on the ground; his glasses cracking and the fall knocking him out on impact. The notebook falls out of his hands, a small photograph, depicting himself and a loving family, rolled out of it. The heavy footsteps stop and tower over the boy's body. A glowing purple soul floats up. The lady impales the kid's slumbering body; the connection between his body and soul disappeared and the boy's body disappeared in small purple fireflies.
But please destroy our fear...please human!..
The two humans appear before Ar. They are spirits, the girl has a blue glow while the boy has a purple soul. They both reach out to her.
We wish you best of luck...
Both kid's illusions soon disappear as the armored monster rushed forward and attacks Ar with her spear.

Ar's P.O.V
I sit up, startled. It takes me a while to realize where I was. I hold my head as I recollect my thoughts.
Who were those children?
I lay back down and stare at the ceiling. M.K is snoring softly. Good thing I don't usually shout whenever I have nightmares.
BZZ BZZ. BZZ BZZ.
I jump up as my phone buzzes. I slowly take it out and look at the screen.
Frisk: 3 missed calls.
Frisk: "Hey, where'd you go?"
Ana: 7 missed calls.
Ana: "Yo."
Ana: "Don't ignore me."
Sans: 2 missed calls.
Sans: "come on kid, you're forcing me to make an effort to look for you."
I chuckle and answer the incoming call from Sans's phone. "Hello?" I asked softly.
I hear arguing over possession of the phone until I hear a familiar voice.
"What do you mean hello?! We've been calling for ages!" Ana shouted, forcing me to move my phone away from my ear.
"Geez! I'm sorry okay! I'm in the waterfall!" I said, sighing.
"We're here. We haven't seen you." Ana said quickly. I was about to say where I was but stopped.
This place was secluded. My own personal space.
"My bad, I'm pretty far off. I'll return." I lied and turned off my phone. "Who was that?" M.K asked, getting up with a yawn.
"My friends. They were looking for me. Come on, we don't want them to know where this is." I said and he nodded excitedly.
We step out from the area and move the boulder back in its place. We start walking back to the wishing room, where we see Frisk, Sans, and Ana.
The latter ran at me and tackled me in a hug. "This place is dangerous! Are you okay?!" She screeched in my ear as Frisk talked to M.K.
I covered my ear as I looked at the black haired girl. "Yes, Ana! I'm fine! No one attacked me!" I said, looking at her relieved face.
"Thank goodness!" she said.
I'm not sure she genuinely says that because she cares if I get hurt or because she's afraid I'll stab someone with Chara's knife.
Could be both.
"No one attacked you? That's strange...usually this place gets–never mind. Let's keep going." Ana said and began walking deeper into the Waterfall.
We approached a room with writings on the wall. Frisk and M.K were running up ahead while Sans and Ana were talking and laughing.
I slowed down to read.

I then look over to the next panel. It's an illustration of a strange creature.
I..feel something unsettling about it. 'Well, I'm glad you do.' Oh! Flowey! You're back!
I stopped walking so that Flowey would be out of earshot. "Did you like your nap? Or were you staring off into space?" I asked.
Flowey shrugged. "This place just brings a lot of memories..I don't want to talk about it." He said.
I caught up with everyone else as we crossed the small river on a wooden plank.
💚
"And that is how I got here!" The nice cream bunny man said as he handed me a nice cream.
We had adventures in the Waterfall when we found him. His real name is unknown to everyone but he answers by Blue.
"Thats a fun story!" I replied, eating the nice cream. Frisk and Ana were attempting to get the most punch cards they could afford.
Sans had just disappeared. Flowey then laughed. 'Do you know of his missing sibling?' He asked.
I raised a brow. Missing sibling?
'Yes, missing in the worst way possible. She won't be remembered by anyone.'
His tone sent chills down my spine. Not be remembered?
I said goodbye to Blue as I made my way through the waterfall. Ana and Frisk were still getting cards.
Crossing a hallway I saw a grey door from my peripheral vision. 'She's stuck there. Forever.'
I turned to look at the wall but there was nothing there. Stuck where? He stayed quiet. I sighed and kept walking forward.
Undyne's P.O.V
I got you right where I want you. We will finally have the seventh human soul!
I summoned my lance and aimed at the human.
