@cletermination firmly tells ASGORE » " I don't want to fight you! "
✦ * . ♕ ; asgore’s hands tremble for a moment.
his breath gets funny, as recollection flashes in his eyes.
keeping his head firmly down, the king thinks for a second, the longest second, to stop fighting.
but then, his fingers clench stronger the trident. he wants to stop. he wants to put it down. maybe have a tea. talk a bit... but he can’t.
what would be of his people, if he stopped fighting?
their hopes and dreams are the only things that kept him going during the years.
they are counting on him...
staring down, his eyes lucid, his attacks grow weaker. he’s fighting against the human child, but he’s not sure if the hardest fight is against them, or against himself. all his thoughts, all of his despair, all the memories. asriel gone. chara gone. toriel gone. nothing that he does will bring anyone of them back. but breaking the barrier, it’ll make people happy, at the very least.
he has no reason to fight for himself. but he has for them.
just focus on them, he tells himself. and his eyes close. just focus on them...
he wants to ask for forgiveness to the human child, but not a single word passes through the closed throat. in any case, it would just come out chocked. but a barely refrained sob can be heard well, as his trident is risen, and a new rain of fire falls upon the child.
