Deltarune Theory - Ralsei lied and tricked us into killing everyone
Alright some of you seemed to want to hear me talk about this:
Let’s talk about the Prophecy, or the Legend of the Delta Rune, and why it’s fishy. Ralsei says that the prophecy was ‘foretold by Time and Space’ and that it was ‘whispered among shadows’ but he is the only one that knows of it, it is never mentioned by any other citizen or character of the Dark World, the only exception being maybe Seam, to who we tell that we are legendary and we’re heroes and he says “So you’re the heroes that are going to seal our fountain?” but that’s about it, and we probably explained it to him (I doubt that all we said was “We’re legendary”).
Anyways, the prophecy says that another fountain of darkness has appeared and it’s shifting the balance and Ralsei adds on that if we were to return home, we must close it. (Another thing is that the prophecy makes it seem like all three heroes must close the fountain, but then he says that technically only Kris is the one that can do it soooo)
Closing the fountains takes us home, we know that. But it’s also stated in the prophecy that the fountain is “The geyser that gives this land form”, so basically, it’s the dark world’s power source. It’s also written in Ralsei’s unused manual that the manual is “Dedicated to the unending pillar of darkness that gives my body form”. Unending pillar of darkness, really sounds like the fountain, the important thing is that it gives his body form.
And it is implied that the little empty kingdom that Ralsei is in, is created by the fountain that’s in the castle, and it is said that the Card Castle is created by the other fountain, because the King goes all “you wanna close our fountain” and stuff.
And it begs the question, by closing the fountain, are we getting rid of everything that fountain has created? Nobody seems to know, when you ask Lancer he says he’s got no idea what closing the fountain will do. They all have no idea.
Except for maybe Seam, the one that we may or may not have told about the prophecy to. The Little coat hanger tells us that Seam didn’t want to come over after we defeated the King, unlike everyone else, who came to thank us. Maybe he knows what’s up, but because of his seemingly depressing outlook, he doesn’t care, or according to his condition, apparently neither Dark not Light hold a future for him.
Ok, so we may or may not have destroyed everyone’s forms by going home, more fishy stuff with Ralsei and the prophecy:
Ralsei calls himself a prince yet his ‘kingdom’ is empty and there’s no King or Queen to make him a prince. And it is never explained why.
The fountain that we are closing, may be actually the ORIGINAL fountain,
and Ralsei just made it look like it’s not, so that HIS fountain stays, and we close the other one, when in reality his fountain might be the rogue one.
Think about it, the only thing that says that the Card Castle’s fountain is the rogue one, is the prophecy, which nobody seems to know about except for Ralsei, meaning he could’ve made it up.
AND, if the Card Castle’s fountain is the rogue one, how come it has created SO much more Ralsei’s fountain? It created the entire game, all that the other fountain has is some tiny empty town and a single so called ‘prince’.
Another strange thing about the prophecy, since there’s no actual evidence that Ralsei is a Prince of Darkness (in fact by the end of the game he kinda looks more like a lightener),
the ‘Prince of Darkness’ from the prophecy might actually be Lancer.
Because unlike Ralsei, Lancer actually has a kingdom, a father who is a King, and everyone refers to him as the Prince.
AND another thing, his parallels to Asriel and Flowey:
Ralsei is no doubt connected to Asriel, he might even BE Asriel. Who else is also Asriel? Flowey. And just like Flowey, Ralsei is the first person we meet in this ‘new world’ (Dark World in Deltarune, Underground in Undertale), he uses similar language to Flowey (calling the soul the ‘culmination of your being’), he is overly nice just like Flowey was, and going along this pattern, just like Flowey, he will betray us.
Anyways so TL;DR: Since the fountain is what gives the darkners their forms, by closing it we might’ve just killed the whole kingdom. Also there’s nothing to actually suggest that Ralsei is a prince, and that his fountain is the original one, except for his word. And Lancer might actually be the “Prince of Darkness” from the prophecy.
This theory and evidence stuff was also brought together with the help of @camodiel btw,
