Well, I told Princess Luna I’d start writing in this, and today seems as good a time to start doing so as any. Was never really the sort to keep a journal, that was more Chara’s thing.
[“Wonder what happened to his…” Asriel pondered briefly, before returning the quill to the book.]
I’ve been in Equestria for a week, though I’ve honestly really been awake and aware for three days of it. It’s… It’s still so surreal to be waking up as myself. I think it’s going to take a while before I am used to it, if I ever do get used to it.
After I managed to learn their alphabet (which is just the same as the one the Humans used on the surface, just different runes for everything with some glyphs from the past included), Princess Luna and Celestia took me on a tour of the palace. And I just have to say…
This place is huge!
I used to think that the castle back in New Home was big, but nope! This palace of theirs is at least three times as big, and has so many rooms. Celestia said that something like a third of them aren’t usually in use, which is just crazy to me.
If the castle back home was this big, I don’t think there’d have been so many people complaining about places growing crowded. That said, it’d have been a lot easier to get lost. I’ve already done so twice. Thankfully the staff are really helpful…
When they aren’t busy talking about how adorable I am.
[Asriel blushed a bit, shaking his head before focusing on his writing]
I’ve been told there’s a few places I can’t go, which as far as I can tell are the same places almost nobody else but the Princesses are allowed. Aside from those, I am free to roam the palace as I like. The only thing they’ve made a point of is to try and avoid a ‘Prince Blueblood’, an adopted relative of Princess Celestia’s.
She was… nicer about the suggestion than Luna or some of the staff have been. Thankfully he’s not here right now, so I don’t have to worry about that for now.
Aside from the tour, I’ve been bouncing between reading books along with Princess Luna, and getting prodded by Dr. Mendheart, when I haven’t been doing my best to answer all of the other questions about Monsters, the Underground, and Earth the Princesses have and learning as much about Equestria.
Speaking of the doctor, I’ve been given a clean bill of health. Dr. Mendheart was a bit surprised, but I seem to have been soaking up ambient magic like a sponge, and now my magic is fully restored. She did wind up asking me in private about that strange energy (DETERMINATION) that seems to be present as well, but she hasn’t probed any deeper after I said it was related to my past.
As for the Princesses… They have so many, and I’ve been doing the best I can to answer them. I’ve had to tell them I can’t answer a few, and there’s been a few I’m going to have to wrack my head for deeper details. They seem rather interested in the Magic that Monsters use, since it's based on the Soul. (They also now know why I put emphasis on it whenever I used the term, since it stands for “Source of Universal Love”)
Apparently here in Equestria, Soul magic is a bit of a touchy subject. The Princesses want me to give them a demonstration of my magic in the next few days, but I need to practice a bit with it first. I need to make sure I can do the spells and stuff I know without any issue.
Especially given that one of the things they’d likely want to see is the SOUL Call, and well, while my SOUL seems to be restored, I’m still… worried about drawing on it. It feels stable, but that doesn’t mean it is. For all I know, using magic the way I’m used to doing it could cause a problem and make me revert back into a flower-
No, no, don’t think like that. You’re going to practice when you wake up this afternoon, and it’ll all turn out fine. SOUL Magic is intrinsic to Monsters, it's a part of us. There won’t be any problem. I hope.
[Asriel sighed and glanced at the clock. He took a moment to stretch, then decided to jot just a bit more down.]
Anyways, there’s a lot more I could write down, but I don’t wanna spend too long with these sorts of entries. And I need to head to bed… which I’ve noticed I’ve been doing during the daytime. I haven't really found myself getting all that tired at night, and I don’t feel like I’m doing things differently than I did back before…
I think I might try to stick to weekly entries, or just if anything that really stands out happens. This book’s thick enough for quite a few as long as I write small enough, but with a whole new world to learn about, explore, and get to see, I feel like it’d be a waste of this second chance if I spent too much time writing in this.
There is one thing I do want to include here… even if I’m probably the only one who's ever going to read any of these.
I want to say… Thank you, Frisk, for forgiving me. Thank you for giving me the chance to make things right back home for everyone. If you hadn’t fallen into the Underground… I’d still be a flower. And everyone would still be waiting for the chance to see the sun and moon. I hope everything is going well for you and everyone else.
And well, I wouldn’t be here writing this if not for that strange skeleton who brought me here, and have me my body back. So thank you as well.
Anyways, that’s all for tonight. Time to turn in.
You need to stay DETERMINED to continue
But he IS so adorable!!!!
You keep mentioning Determination which if I remember right is the ability to respawn upon death. So is this story about to get a lot gorier or something? The lore is weird because it wasn't clear if it was respawning or turning back time. I'm leaning towards respawn because characters would comment on you coming back.

DETERMINATION is something that gives one the ability to cheat death yes, and or there's some implications that it can boost ones abilities in general.
The DETERMINATION that Asriel had in him as Flowey is still around, it hasn't left. Its part of what's kept him alive and around after all, so its not like he's lost that DETERMINATION. And its something that most Monsters can't have alot of. Even Boss Monsters. So Asriel is naturally worried about how much of it he's carrying around, for numerous reasons.
Asriel could use his DETERMINATION in the manner of reloading from a SAVE.
But to answer your question, no, this story isn't going to get gorier or anything.

So are we going with flat useless jerk Blueblood for this? I honestly can't see Celestia keeping him around (especially if he's adopted and not blood related) if he had zero redeeming qualities.
That said, it's nice to see that Asriel won't be left to degrade back into Flowey at the bottom of a cave.

My general take for such things is that Blueblood is useful in some way, or that alternatively, she owed a debt of some kind to his parents in such a situation.
I haven't fully decided, but I wasn't planning for him to be 125% useless. Its possible he may however wind up 90-95% useless though.

Okay, that's nice to hear.
New chapter ????
11384219
I will be attempting to get one out this month. I've been working on rereading the chapters written so I can know where I left off and where to go next.
Lol I mean you can't blame them you are kind of cute kid but don't worry I'm sure they will lay off from that
Oh yeah Prince Blue Blood he is something else somewhere nearby the best night ever episode he'll probably show up I just hope he doesn't give you any more trouble
Wow It looks like Asriel wanting to do a journal entry throughout his days that's a pretty interesting shift of the story a little but it looks like he says he was pretty good learning about the letters and some of the words even checking around the castle as well and yeah it is pretty big well let's see how this will go for him
Yeah id avoid the blue b**** myself!
Heh nice term for it!
Though make sure its not LOVE!
