Undyne explained the situation to Sam over the course of several minutes, taking her time to make sure he understood what she was saying rather than rushing through it.
The general picture she painted was surprisingly clear, even if it was unsettling.
At first, the [Primordials] had been a neutral race, and not just slightly neutral, but among the most neutral of all races that existed across the realms.
They did not interfere in conflicts, they did not claim territory aggressively, and they did not involve themselves in wars that did not concern them directly.
Because of that, nobody truly viewed them as a threat.

The first was that the [Primordials] never displayed any particularly overwhelming feats of strength.
They never destroyed realms, never wiped out armies, and never showed the kind of power that would make other races cautious around them.
The second reason was their population.
