[Some might recognize the cat - the stray cat that seemed to hate Anakin before - behind said Sith. So what if the fuzzy creature is batting a ball between his paws and being downright charming? So what?]

My talents are going to waste. I'm accepting students, but if you don't show any talent with the Force, I will drop you.

[He wants his own army because why the hell not?]

Ben, you're my first student. [No matter what a certain once-Padawan says! Yes, he is that childish.] Don't be late tonight.

The Force? Is that like magic?

[video]

[prophesiedone]

If that helps you understand it better, yes. In actuality, it's the energy created by every living being.

[journalname]

Ah, I see. That is much how monsters perceive magic. It makes up our very beings.

...it was quite rare, in my world, for humans to have magical gifts.

[prophesiedone]

We should meet up and perform some tests. [He's curious.] It's rare in my galaxy too.

[Rarer still since he is killing other Force users.]

[journalname]

You know, my Royal Scientist might be interested in that! She has been in the city longer than I have - her name is Alphys.

[Maybe they've met?

Also this is a total dumpster fire of an idea but okay]

[prophesiedone]

I would be happy to meet her. [Not yet.

Yay dumpster fires!] Are you a King then?

[journalname]

Yes - I am King Asgore Dreemurr, of the Monsters. Though only a few of my people are here.

[He smiles, though his heart doesn't quite seem in it.]

[prophesiedone]

There are a few kings here without their people, I've noticed. [Most would be polite, but not Anakin. An Emperor talking to a King means they are...equal, right?]

[journalname]

It is only natural, I suppose. We cannot choose who comes and who does not. [Asgore doesn't sound offended in the least.] But I am glad to be here, if any of my people must be. I should be around to help them.

[prophesiedone]

That's a pretty selfless point of view. [He is moved by it. Somewhat.] They say time stops or we'll return right where we left off, but what if we don't? Would you feel the same way?

[journalname]

I believe I would.

[Something somber flits across his face for a moment. It wasn't as if he could return as anything more than a pile of dust now - what does it matter when he does it?]

The people would...find it difficult, in my absence, but there are others who can take the throne. Things would be all right. The monsters here are in far more danger.

[prophesiedone]

You have nothing left. [What other explanation can there be?] Do you have family? Friends? You speak as if you wouldn't be missed.

[journalname]

Those I am closest to personally are also here. Which is good for me, though perhaps not so much so for the kingdom...

[But then, he was never thinking of Undyne or Alphys taking the throne. Toriel would return, if news came to her of it.]

[prophesiedone]

Maybe it's time for you to be selfish. [All of that sacrifice has to have some benefits - or so he thinks.]

[journalname]

I am their king. My people must always come first. Though, in this case, I suppose I can do nothing more for most of them.

[prophesiedone]

They're not here, so it doesn't matter. You should find a new goal; a new focus. A king could do a lot of things for the people of Hadriel. [Not as much as an emperor, but hey.]

[journalname]

A few of them are, and my children as well. That is enough for me.

[prophesiedone]

Lucky you. [No, no, he's not bitter.]
