Okay, guys, I’m cookin’ up a new AU (at least I hope it’s original :p…)
✨Arcanetale✨
After the war between Humans and Monsters, the Monsters were locked Underground. However, without the Monsters’ magic and Humans forgetting any kind of magic over time, the world slowly worked its way into decay, until it’s split up into Districts, ruled by the aristocracy (kinda like Hunger Games, only there’s no championship or whatever. Probably Divergent is a better way to describe it…)
Anyway, Frisk, an orphaned nineteen year old, lives on the streets in one of the poorer districts. Despite circumstances, she was always selfless and did everything to make sure others were fed, even if she were to starve. She was well-respected and loved by the ones in her district.
However, the one rule in every district was to NEVER go past the fence surrounding Mt. Ebbot (which the Districts themselves surrounded). But one day, while Frisk was looking for food and supplies, she realized she couldn’t find enough for much of anyone, even after scouring every little place.
So she decided to go past the fence in hopes of finding better supplies, climbing up the mountain steadily as she kept finding more and more supplies, hoping to fill her satchel to overflowing. Then she saw an opening to a cave, slightly concealed by green vines, which is what drew her attention to it in the first place. She’d seen very few plants in her life, let alone green, healthy ones.
Unfortunately, upon entering and exploring, she tripped over a vine and fell down the chasm leading to the Underground.
The Underground is the complete opposite of the Surface, even better than the higher districts. Due to the fact that the Monsters had their magic all to themselves and in a more condensed world, they flourished, with higher technology and beautiful, lush greenery. It was completely foreign to Frisk, not knowing what it felt like to even breathe clean air.
Toriel took her in and took care of her, helping her clean herself up in addition to new clothes. But Frisk’s biggest concern was getting back to the Surface to help those in her District, despite the luxuries in the Underground, later also with a motive to free the Monsters so they could help too (her reasoning changes as she progresses through the Underground, after becoming attached to the Monsters instead of hoping to use them for her people’s benefit).
Anyway! That’s what I got so far. I’d love to hear y’all’s opinions and suggestions about it! :D
