Chapter Twenty-Three: Return to Eat me Break me Take My soul

Today we revisit the world of 'Little Soul destroyer' co-written with WinterCherryX who will also be posting this as it has a lot of plot. If you haven't read her stories yet, I suggest you do. The art above it done by Cherry also. updated it to complete edition Aug16

Edit: June 2/22 Please be aware the story they visited is being rewitten or was by the time you read this so no longer cannon for Cherry.

"Oh... I recognize this multiverse," Traveller said frowning, he'd been about to explore a nearby multiverse when eh came across a familiar one that seemed to move a bit. His fingers traced the codes of this multiverse, a story of a poor damaged skeleton.

He wondered if they'd liked his gift.

Hmm... know what, he was going to drop by there and take a look.

Hopefully little Radiant was doing better.

He vanished in a swirl of rainbow, and the phantom sounds of wings.

And crashed into a tree...

"Ow," he said rubbing his skull, mentally counting back so not to swear.

"Aw man..." eh said, realizing his eye patch had been ripped by the tree. Muttering he stuffed it away, at least now that it looked like a normal eye light even if it shifted colors it was a lot less noticeable.

He missed the star though, which the eye light rarely morphed to.

"I landed in a park," Traveller said looking around, brushing dirt and tree sap off himself.

Then he spotted it, a swing set. Two empty swings, his childish side called to him.

Bah.. not like he looked his age, being an eternal immortal child was good for fun.

Laughing he got on the swing.

There was joy in being a child.

OoOoO

Just a little off the park, a sky blue portal opened and a blue wearing skeleton entered with a little one, setting them down. "Alright Radiant, we're here. You're gonna have to be careful though, alright?" "I will Mr. B-Blue!" Radiant chirped excitedly as he then slowly walked around a bit to get used to his surroundings. It was still weird as always despite the familiarity.

A quiet laugh was heard elsewhere in the park.

Radiant looks up at the familiar voice and began to use his sounds to guide himself to the area. Blue closing the portal behind him and then following after Radiant.

Traveller hummed as they swung, the sweet sound of bird song in his ears.

"Hello?" Radiant called, causing Blue to stiffen up a bit and just ready his magic in case after hearing a sound unfamiliar to him. He wants to ensure the utmost safety for Radiant after all as they reached the park. Radiant walking into the park.

Traveller blinked at hearing a voice, he paused in his swing.

"Hello back to you!" he called back happily.

Radiant perked up a bit, recognizing the familiar voice before he then went towards the person in an attempt of a speedwalk, while trying not to stumble on his cape larger than himself cape. "I- I remember you!" Radiant chirped. "You were the one who- who sung to me last time!" Radiant exclaimed happily. Blue seems to calm down at that and then just walked besides Radiant, glancing at Traveller and just examining the other. Another child? What is the child doing alone in this AU?

"Oh! Hello there Radiant. You look much better then before, did you like my gift?" Traveller asked curious, beaming so happily you could feel it. Mentally Goth poked Palette, who quickly dialed it down a bit. His mismatched eye lights peered briefly at the local Blue, his soul was just as kind as the last time he was here.

Radiant felt the happiness and nods happily. "Y-Yeah! Thank you so much!" Radiant chirped before a faint yell sounded. "Radiaaant! You left me behind you rascal!" A transparent figure flew after Radiant and then panted before floating besides him. "You little butthole!" The ghost was the twin brother of Radiant who then glanced at the Traveller. "Oh, you have a friend! Hello!"

"Hello Ghosty," Traveller said, his rainbow eye light gleaming.

"You can see me?" Moonlight gasp before twirling around Traveller happily. "Radiant! He can see me!" "That-That's great Moonlight!" Radiant cheered happily while Blue hummed. "Well at least that's one other person who can see your brother." Blue spoke and Radiant nods

"Kind of hard to miss him, he's very there. By the way, as you were rather out of it when I first visited I should introduce myself, I am The Traveller," he said stretching in the swing.

"Oh, w-well I'm Dream b-but... I'm called Radiant now! My brother is Nightmare b-but his name is Moonlight!" Radiant introduced back and Moonlight nods. "I'm Blue, nice to meet you Traveller." Blue nods lightly as he then blinked. "Excuse me for a bit, I'll need to make a call." Blue then went grabbed his phone and then went a bit further away. But still able to keep an eye on the children. Mostly planning to inform Nightmare of Traveller.

"Okay!" Radiant called back. "By the way, thank you for helping my brother when you were able to." Moonlight hummed as Radiant nods.

"I don't like people in pain, you didn't get a choice on what happened so I did my best to help. Time goes different where I travel, so while little time for you passed its been a very long time for me," Traveller softly replied, his eyes softened a bit "My healing abilities have grown, would you like me to help with the pain a bit?"

He hated seeing others in pain, both Goth and Palette remembered themselves dying at the end of there original Multiverse before they became the Traveller to live. No one deserved this much pain, it radiated so much he could feel it in the very emotions coming from Radiant.

Radiant tilts his head a bit. "C-Can you?" Radiant sheepishly asked. "It would be appreciated, Radiant doesn't like his stuttering and the painkillers he's under makes him do so." Moonlight spoke and Radiant slowly nods. Even with the painkillers, he's just trying his best to not let it get to him. Especially since he can't have the full effect considering his body is still small.

"We should sit down while I do this, You might be dizzy. I think I can fix more of your skull and around where your eyes are, I can't restore your actual eyes though... I'm not that good yet," Traveller huffed a bit annoyed, mind you if one wanted to create something he was the skeleton, as people rarely needed the skills he got as Goth and a child Death god.

He looked around for a good spot, he smiled when he spotted a rather nice pine tree with comfy moss below it they could sit on. "I see a good spot nearby."

"Oh... Well- well that's okay! I don't think bl-blindess is something that's easi-easily fixed for magic skeletons anyways...*" Radiant sheepishly said. "Can you lead the way though? And Radiant? I'm gonna hold your hand, okay?*" Moonlight softly said and Radiant nods. Moonlight then gently held Radiant's hand and Radiant lightly squeezed it and Moonlight gently tugged at Radiant's hand a bit before glancing at Traveller.

"Over here," Traveller said jumping off the swing, then to Moonlights shock grabbed his hand and pulled him under the pine tree.

Moonlight stared at The Traveller. He thought only his brother could touch him, but with this newfound knowledge, he could feel the excitement and happiness rising with this knowledge. Radiant simply tilting his head cluelessly as he was dragged along, oblivious to the reason on what made his brother so giddy and excited.

"Are you comfy?" Traveller asked as he himself got comfy, he briefly looked around and noticed the local Blue was still not back yet. He hoped it wasn't serious.

Radiant sat himself down a bit before nodding. "Yeah, I am." Radiant chirped when Blue rushed towards Radiant. "Hey lil' Radiant, I'm gonna go for a bit alright?" Blue spoke and Radiant blinked. "Why?" Radiant couldn't help but pout, though sensing the tense and worry from Blue, he figured it might be important. "It's something I will teach you in the future, okay?" Blue softly said. "In the mean time, Geno and Sci will come in and stay with you, Moonlight and Traveller, that good with you?" Blue asked, knowing that the two is the next best thing besides Nightmare. Radiant blinking and slowly nodding. "Okay M-Mr. Blue." Radiant hummed and Blue nods, he then said something to the phone and then a portal opened. "Get in there you slowpoke!" The yell of a Genocide Sans was heard as Sci was pushed into the portal. "Don't be so impatient Geno!" Sci huffed as he then fixed his coat. "Thank you for keeping him company while I was away too, Traveller." Blue nods at the child looking sans.

"Okay?" Traveller said a bit confused "I was about to use my specialized type of healing with radiant, I'm hoping to heal more of his skull." he told the adults.

"Oh? You can do that?" Sci asked, the little Traveller immediately peaking his interest while Blue stared at Traveller in surprise, but there was a sense of gratefulness in that stare. "Well, that is much appreciated then Traveller, thank you." Blue smiled softly at the child. "I wish to see it in action, but unfortunately, duty calls and all." Blue nods and Sci and Geno waves. "Goodluck Blue." Sci hummed and Blue nods, opening a portal to a familiar vast white VOID and entering, the portal closing behind him.

"You ready?" Traveller asked turning to Radiant, he didn't want to start too early and startle the other as interrupted healing magic could actually kill people. He held out his hands, knowing that Radiant could sense there location.

Radiant nods lightly. "Y-Yeah, I'm ready.**" Radiant softly said while Sci then sat besides Radiant, quite curious on how the healing process would go while Geno was just watching Traveller. Radiant just relaxing himself while Moonlight flew besides Radiant.

"Just relax okay," Traveller said gently taking the younger skeletons hands, carefully he pulled his magic up and slowly a shimmering bit of magic flowed from his hands and over the others bones. 'Still too many injuries, not just his skull' he thought unhappily. But he didn't speed up his magic, as healing wasn't something you rushed as you wanted a body to accept it. If rushed it could caused magic rejection, and the body could start seeing healing magic as poison.

A lot of Error's had this issue.

Soon Radiant was surrounded by a nimbus of his magic, now and then swirls of rainbow was seen in it. Taking a breath he began the delicate work, for this he blocked Radiant's ability to feel pain till it was over as regrowing skull/bones would not be comfortable and some of the other corrections he needed to heal in the body. By the now, both his eye lights were rainbow instead of one, his scarf fluttered around him in an unseen wind.

Yet it was working, he could feel the weakened and cracked bones in the body healing and the crack in the skull was reducing insanely. Even the blindfold showed the regrown bones, it annoyed him he couldn't give his sight back though.

Finally he relaxed, and pulled back most of the magic, letting the remainder to sink into the others body to help in the long term pain wise for what wasn't healed fully. Last he allowed Radiant to feel his body again, as not able to feel pain was dangerous. With a sigh he released Radiants hands, then wiped the sweat off his own skull.

That had been hard, and he knew even if the Goddess of Life had been involved it would take her multiple sessions to even a bit of what he had done.. well done.

"How do you feel?" he asked tiredly.

Radiant was just silent mostly as he then tried to touch to touch his hands at the lingering feeling. "I... I dunno, everything's tingly.." Radiant softly spoke while Moonlight gasped. "Radiant! You're not stuttering!" Moonlight exclaimed while Radiant nodded, a faint glow of excitement emitting from him as he felt the pain just... Gone. "I... I don't feel any lingering pain either! Especially around my eyesockets." Radiant then quickly took off his blindfold and felt around his eyesocket and then gasping softly. "Mr. Geno! Mr. Sci!" Radiant faced them with glee, unfortunately, he still can't have eyelights so his eyesockets were just a black void from then on thanks to his blindness, but he could feel that his eyesockets were whole again! Though there was still some cracks he can feel here and there, he can feel his skull whole! "Woah kid, that's impressive." Geno finally spoke while Sci was in awe. "Gonna hold your skull for a bit, that okay Radiant?" Sci quickly said, trying his best to not impulsively hold Radiant, who slowly nods. Sci then carefully cupped Radiant's cheeks, tilting his head side to side before giddily grinning. "This is such a miracle! I don't know how you managed to do this but this amount of healing magic is absolutely magnificent! Even my machines can't surpass this amount and just-" And Sci was rambling now while Geno snickered a bit.

Traveller though didn't answer, as even though he was a powerful godling healing sapped him. In the few moments he'd asked the question, he'd leaned back against the tree and fallen asleep.

Sci then turned to the kid before blinking at the silence. "Oh- He fell asleep." Sci then chuckled a bit while Radiant tilts his skull. "Really? I don't want him sleeping here though... Can we take him back with us?" Radiant pleaded. "Yeah, it would be hella rude not to." Geno then went over and picked Traveller up in his arms gently. "Are you sure you should be carrying? Especially since you're brewing." Sci commented and Geno scoffed. "I'm not a weak little shit Sci." Geno sounded genuinely offended while Sci sweatdropped. "Sorry... Let's go." Sci sheepishly laughed as he then gently took Radiant's hand and got up, Moonlight picking up the blindfold and Geno opened a portal, entering with Radiant, Moonlight and Sci.

"Oh, you're back early." Classic spoke, still lazily waiting on the couch for the other members of the gang and Sci nods. "Yeah... We figured we didn't wanna leave a friend of Radiant sleeping somewhere uncomfy." Sci spoke, gesturing to the Traveller in Geno's arms, who then began to walk. "Scooch over, I'm setting Traveller down." Geno spoke and Classic just teleported to a bean bag chair. Geno then gently setting Traveller down and then teleporting away to get a blanket and pillow and then teleporting back, placing it on Traveller and gently lifting the kid's skull up to put the pillow underneath the skull. Moonlight just gently dragged Radiant to the seat. "Traveller's on this couch." Moonlight informed and Radiant nodded. "Thank you brother!" Radiant softly chirped while Classic seems to finally take notice of the newly healed skull. "Woah, Radiant's skull healed?" "Yeah! Can you believe it?! Cuz I sure can't!" Sci was back to being a nerd now as he squealed excitedly.

Traveller made a cute squeak noise in his sleep from the sounds around him.

"How was it even possible?" Classic asked while Moonlight carefully helped Radiant sit down on the third end of the couch, around the end of where Traveller's feet would be. "Traveller healed Radiant actually. Which is quite impressive for a kid." Geno spoke. "The power levels the kid must have though! Can you believe it?!" Sci was just being giddy now. "If that's the case then that's no ordinary kid." Classic replied and Geno shrugged. "It's possible. Especially since not even the Goddess of Life herself can heal a wound like Radiant's. Especially since last time someone got that wound, it took them centuries to heal it." Geno huffed, pretty much referring to Error and Sci nods. "This is why this is so amazing! Something like this is never heard of and I need to document it! Stat!" And Sci quickly left the room in a rush while Geno facepalmed a bit.

"Sometimes, I'm concerned on how he is pretty much younger us." Geno then glanced at Classic who shrugged while grinning lazily. "Well, it's not like he'll ever grow up to become us, especially since his au is stuck in an eternal timeloop now." Classic spoke and Radiant curiously hummed at that. "Eternal timeloop?" "Yeah kid, some aus get stuck in eternal timeloops where a reset won't ever happen, Nor the set events that would usually happen in most aus will actually never happen in most timeloops." Classic explained to the best he can and Radiant slowly nodded. "That's kinda... sad." "Yeah, but hey, at least some managed to find a way to make sure it won't get to them. Take Sci for example. He found out about AUs and now he's learning more than even most monsters in his au." Geno shrugged and Radiant lets out a small ooh. "This makes me think about of our au... Would our au also end in a timeloop if you never ate the apples and get out of the au or..?" Moonlight hummed in thought and Radiant shrugged a bit, quite curious himself now too.

A sneeze escaped the sleeping Traveller, briefly glorious wings appeared in sight then vanished as if they had never been there. the small figure sat up now awake, rubbing his face groggily. He looked around blinking, still half asleep and exhausted. His eye lights were normal again, one purple and one ever shifting rainbow.
"Whoever is mentally screaming Science please stop, too tired for that to be screamed," he said grumpily.

"Oh, Traveller! Did tou have a good sleep?" Radiant chirped, attempting to turn to Traveller, but ended up just being off to the right while Geno chuckled. "I'll go calm Sci." Geno then left the room.

"Yeah... I'm not the best at healing, my powers edge towards other things," he told Radiant, gently he took the actual child's hands and angled him correctly. "Maybe one day I'll be able to fix your eyes."

"Really? Well I think you're really great at healing!" Moonlight cheered happily. "You pretty much almost restored my brother's skull! That's like, super amazing! And in just a span of a few seconds or minutes!" Moonlight squealed and Radiant nodded. "Brother's right though! You're really good with this healing stuff!" Radiant just gave a happy smile at Traveller, even though he's not looked at Traveller directly.

"Ahh... thank you," Traveller said blushing a bit, a smattering of purple across his face "But I know people better then me." Like Retconned, but he was older and had more time to learn. And Shell, but Shell was.. well Shell. "But... if only for a few minutes, would you like to see what everyone looks like?" he asked curious.

Radiant gasped a bit at that. "You can... You can do that?" Radiant softly asked while Moonlight then grinned. "Oooh! You get to see everyone! Well, not everyone since I don't think Mr. Blue and Other Me's gang would be returning anytime soon yet. It seemed pretty urgent." Moonlight spoke before glancing at Classic when his breath hitched a bit and quickly sat up, taking a deep breath in, then out, muttering something under his 'breath'.

"Well, its more something I found on my travels. There is only enough for one use, so you can use it when they all get home," Traveller said, pulling a small bronze jar from his item space. "Never had any use for it myself as I can see, but you could use it." He said, placing the small Jar into Radiant's hand.
"You just swallow it with water, and it will give anyone without normal sight... well sight for 3 to 5 minutes," he told them, he hid a flinch as pain went through his body. He'd used too much magic, so it wasn't buffering him from this multiverses magic which didn't match his own. It made him a bit sad, he'd been hoping to stay longer but healing Radiant was more important then giving him a few days. He'd just have to visit in the future.

"Is that so?" Radiant softly asked, tilting his head a bit at the sudden emotional fluctuation on Traveller. "Are you okay though?" Radiant softly asked while Moonlight tilts his head in confusion. Since he never really ate any apples, he didn't really have the ability to sense others' emotions unless he's directly connecting himself to Radiant to do so.

"I have to leave soon," Traveller sighed, he really didn't want the pain to get worse.

"Awh..." Radiant frowned a bit, quite disappointed that his friend is leaving so soon. "Will you visit again?" Radiant pouts childishly at Traveller. Then again, he's still a child considering he's only turning 9 in a few months.

"Yes, might be a bit random I warn you," Traveller replied softly.

"Still better than nothing!" Radiant quickly perked up again, smiling happily at Radiant. "Hope you visit sooner then." Radiant chirped while Moonlight then nods. "It's been fun having you around, Traveller!" Moonlight chirped.

"Thank you... I really should get going," he said getting off the couch and adjusting his clothing "Maybe next time I''ll even tell you my other names." he giggled. then vanished in a swirl of rainbow.

"Okay! Goodbye Traveller!" Radiant chirped just as Traveller had left. "Traveller left, brother." Moonlight informed and Radiant nods. "Also, Mr. Classic fell asleep." "Oh."

"I already miss Traveller." Radiant pouts and Moonlight nods. "I'm sure you do brother. But hey, he said he'll visit again someday!" "Yeah!" Radiant was quite excited for Traveller to come back. Even if it will take a long while, he will wait!

"C'mon, Let's go get more chocolate." "Okay!"
