Child of Death, Destroyer of Worlds

Gothy?

It had been two years since Goth had been kidnapped. Palette missed him.

His pain grew even more when Mr.Geno allowed him to look at Goth's journals, to find out that all this time, Goth loved him more than a friend.

He wasn't looking where he was going, so he ended up bumping into someone, they ended on the floor in a pile of limbs and Palette began to apologise.

"I'm so sorry!" He said as he helped the other Skeleton get back up onto his feet and pick up the books that he had been carrying. They had fallen onto the floor when they knocked each other over.

"It's okay." The other skeleton said as he accepted the books back from Palette. "I wasn't looking where I was going."

Palette had to look up to see the other Skeleton's face, only to freeze when he saw his face.

A single eyelight looked down at him, wide in shock.

"Gothy?"

"Palette!"

Palette turned around to see Dream running over to him, having seen his Son fall but not who he bumped into.

"Are you okay?!"

"Mom! I think that I found Gothy!"

"Palette, you must have been seeing things. You might have runned into a version of Goth that lives in this AU."

"But Mom, he's right..." Palette turned around to see that the other Skeleton was gone. "Here..."

Goth breathed heavily after he had taken a Shortcut to the apartment that he was currently living in. It had been two whole years since he remembered who he was and he was still running away from his past.

But seeing Palette had brought it all back to him.

"Palette..." Goth whispered, clutching at his scarf. He wanted to go home, Palette hadn't given up on him, he was still looking for him...

But he couldn't go home, not yet....

There was something that he had to do....

There had to be a reason why Fate took him, all that he knew was that it had something to do with Ink and his Soulless state.

Ink couldn't feel emotions without his paint, but the paint needed a starting point to work on, creating AUs generated the paint but who created the paint to began with?

And if Ink was truly Soulless, how could Dream's Aura work on him and how could he have helped to create Palette without a Soul?

All these questions, and all of the interactions that he had so far with Ink, all pointed to one conclusion.

Ink had a Soul, and then, he was suddenly Soulless.

So, what happened to Ink's Soul? Where was it and was it connected to why Fate took him?

But still, it hurt, to be so far away from those that he loved and so close to them at the same time....

He didn't see the tears that fell onto his scarf.
