A/N: Disclaimer: I don't own Undertale or any of its characters. This is the prequel to a story I abandoned on here some time ago, so for those who are new, you're probably just as confused as the people who read what I wrote of Reset Rut, which I may or may not get back to at some point in the future. We'll see. I probably won't go back to Friendly Fire, however, sorry. Anyways, on with the story!
Prologue
Frisk panted as she struggled up the side of the mountain. She looked back at the small town at the mountain's base, and sighed, tears pooling in her eyes, before continuing on, thinking, I have no choice.
After about an hour's climb, she came to the peak. She slowed to a halt as she saw the large hole at the top. So the legends are true. She gulped, picking up her courage. Doubts flooded through her mind, however, and her legs trembled as she stood at the edge of the hole, frozen is terror as she contemplated what she was about to do.
Should I do this? Throw my life away like this? I could… I could… But no matter how much she wanted to, her mind couldn't come up with a better solution. She looked up at the cloudy sky, closing her eyes and savoring a nice breeze that blew from the south, ruffling her hair and caressing her face. Her blazing emerald eyes opened, determination glinting fiercely in them. I can do this. I will do this.
And so she did. Taking one last look at her former home, she closed her eyes and leaned forward, allowing herself to fall down the hole, and into her future.
