April 8, 2012, the day where it all began. Here you are at long, last. High atop his tower, the manifestation of dread, the envoy of The Eye of The Abyss, the midnight monster himself, The Somnambulant stands before you, staring into your soul. You are overwhelmed with dread as darkness constricts you, your only light coming from the fountain. After what felt like an eternity, he whispers to you in a voice like crushed glass, "Do you really think you can defeat ME?" he asks rhetorically, before a diabolical laugh erupts from nowhere... and everywhere. "Fool! I am the envoy of the Great Eye himself. He has bestowed me with near infinite power, and you are but a mere child! An orphan had it not been for the kindness of the Dreemurs! Now, insolent mortals, cherish this moment, FOR IT SHALL BE YOUR LAST!" He shouts in a thunderous voice that shakes the whole tower. After a brief silence you hear your brother's voice, "Kris!" Asriel yells as he taps your shoulder, "Get to the fountain, December, [Redacted], and I will deal with this menace. Papyrus, you, Noelle and Seam deal with his guards, now go Kris, we're all counting on you" His words fill you with determination as you rust off toward the fountain, dodging energy blasts and fireballs, until you reach it, the fountain whose shadows give form to this nightmarish, evil dimension. Just as you are preparing to seal it, you are suddenly paralyzed as a deafening shriek erupts from the direction of the midnight monster, as he leaps forth at lightning speed, tearing through your armor with his claws and throwing you against a wall, and before you can recover, you are knocked unconscious with a blow that nearly cracks your skull. By the time you awaken, you are outside the shelter, pain surging through your body as you learn that after you were incapacitated, December tried to seal the fountain, but was taken hostage by the creature, and that [Redacted] was mortally wounded in the battle, his mechanical endoskeleton nearly destroyed. As you struggle to pull yourself to your feet, still processing the devastating news, you swear that from this day forward, you will do whatever it takes to save December and repair [Redacted], as well as slaying The Eye of The Abyss, and his envoy, banishing his legions of titans, and defeating his Army of The Dead, and that you will fight until your last breath to save this world from the never-ending night and tyranny that would result if The Great Eye were to succeed.
This is where it all started, roughly seven years ago, where the events that would lead up to The Roaring took place. Theme is Crushed Hopes, Broken Dreams from Underfell Inspired by the mysterious events revolving around December, the shelter, the knight, the titans, and a few other things in Deltarune lore, as well as the enigmatic nature of the game "On The Road" and the boss's reseblence to the knight and titans. Lore somewhat inspired by On The Road, Undertale, Minecraft, Terraria, and Deltarune
