Harmony Quest: Tale of the Light and Dark
Act 1.2: A Saviour Born
Previous ChapterNext ChapterMany years later, back on the Earth, a couple's child was just born.
'Oh, my sweet child has finally come to this world...' The mother thought.
The child's father was pleased. 'Ah, she will not be a normal child, Chara. Look at her beautiful skin. It is somewhat golden-ish yellow. Legend has it that a goddess who has fallen many years ago, put her hopes into a soul; A golden soul. Whoever is born with it, is deemed the chosen legend.'
Chara giggled. 'Come on, Asgore, that's just a legend, it might not be true.'
He giggled as well. 'Ho, only time will tell if it's true... I know in my heart that she will be very different. By the way, what should we name her?'
Chara wondered for a bit, then a name clicked into her head.
'How about... Frisk Dreemur?'
'Hmm, is that all you can think of?' Asgore asked.
'Well... I couldn't think of anything, really. I mean, if she really is such a special child... She should have a good name. Then, this name suddenly clicked into my head for some reason.' Chara explained.
He nodded. 'Well, then Frisk it is.' Asgore said, then looking at his daughter. 'Frisk... Welcome to the family.'
When Frisk was born, she had no idea she was going to be the true heroine that everyone; not only her country, not even just this world, but every human and pony will know. Asgore and Chara didn't really think she was going to be such an important person in history. Their lives were just as normal as everyone else.
On the same day that she was born two years later, Frisk got a very special birthday present: A younger brother.
'Oh, what a lovely second child!' Chara exclaimed, holding the new baby.
'Now, Frisk has someone to play with,' Asgore thought, holding Frisk.
Frisk was able to talk a bit, but doesn't really understand much.
'Papa, who is that?' She asked.
He smiled. 'That is your brother, my daughter. You're the big kid in the family now.'
As soon as he finished, the baby started to let out a few squeals of joy.
'Oh, and it sounds like someone wants his sister right now,' He added.
As soon he held her close to her brother, he smiled and wanted to reach out to her.
'Awww, he likes Frisk!' Chara said.
'I've got an idea for his name, how about Asriel Dreemur?' Asgore asked.
She nodded to her husband.
Things just went on normal after that. That is, until one day, when Frisk was sleeping with her mother, a voice called out to her.
'Oh, Frisk~' It said.
She woke up. 'Hmm? Who was that?'
'Follow my voice, and come to me.' It added.
She walked out to the garden at the back, to see a light that resembled a figure.
'Wow... Who are you?' She asked.
The figure shook her head. 'You do not need to know. However, I have a very special thing to tell you.'
'What is it?'
The light chuckled and put her finger lightly on Frisk's lips. 'Hush now, Frisk Dreemur. I have a story for you. A story about the light and the dark.' She said, and she replaced the surroundings with a virtual place, and voice started to fill the child's mind as the story was told through a song.
'Long ago...
Light and Dark,
Ruled together,
With kindness.
But, one day...
Came a duel,
Blood spilled like...
Never before...
Neither one,
Had shown love...
They both fought to the very bitter end...
Darkness has...
Claimed the win...
Now we will never see the sun...'
'What does it mean?' Frisk asked.
'Shh... There's more to tell.' The light said. 'Darkness, filled with hatred and power, won against the light, and is ready to spread its harmful magic across the universe...'
'Many years...
Many tears...
We live on,
Despite our fears...
The darkness...
Will invade us...
They'll make us consumed in greed...
Hate instead...
Of harmony...
We've lost hopes,
And dreams, and love...
Angels cry...
From on high...
Will we get freed,
Or get controlled?
No more love...
No more peace...
That'll be life,
In the future...
While on high,
Sits our hope,
The goddess of peace and love...'
'So much blood...
So much pain...
Now I've let you down again...
One day soon,
I will return...
If you'd help...
Me just one thing.'
'I don't get it, what is this?' Frisk asked again.
'I'll let them do the work.' The light explained, once again.
'Now the years have flown by,
A destined child was born...
Will she defeat,
The dark minions,
Or will she surely die?
The tale of the chosen one,
Tonight we sing!
A tale of the humans' fate,
And the ponykind...'
'Sit down, legend,
Do not quail,
Peace and love always prevail,
If you'll just help us on one thing,
You can be a savior...'
'Sit down, legend,
Do not quail,
Friendship and hopes will prevail,
Follow me,
I'll guide you through the...
Tale of the harmony quest!'
'Listen to me, Frisk. You may not know it yet, but I have everything ahead in your life planned for you. If you will follow my steps and my guidance, you can help me revive myself in order to stop the darkness lurking in this dimension.' She said.
'Okay, hold on a second.' Frisk said. 'You're telling me, I will save everyone? I'm not even a fighter! And, I'm not a legend, I'm just an ordinary girl! What's so special about me?'
'Ah, my child. I expected that reaction. However, it is all true. I cannot tell you much, but I'll tell you something: Wait for a few weeks, and you'll see the change in you.'
Frisk was confused. 'Uhm.... Okay, I guess?'
The light nodded. 'Frisk Dreemur, my beautiful, and hopeful successor... If you agree to follow my path, you will succeed. When you win your first battle, I will tell you more.'
As soon she finished talking, she disappeared.
'What is she trying to say to me?' Frisk thought.
Suddenly, Chara ran to her.
'Frisk? Oh my gosh, Frisk, don't ever go outside during the nighttime ever again!' She said, cuddling her daughter.
Frisk's face turned red. 'I'm sorry, mom. It's just... There's something wrong with me.'
They went back inside after that.
Little did Frisk know, her real life as one of the six exotic legends was about to begin...
