Frisk was running very, very fast. Running from her. She could hear her yelling. Yelling for her to come back so she could punish her. She kept going up the mountain, up Mount Ebott. She ran through branches and vines. Her sneakers were squeaky from the rainy land. She had no idea what she'd find besides the town legends of monsters living up there. She believed in the tale though it didn't scare her. She was determined to get away. Then, she lost her footing, and then came the falling.
Frisk was light headed, and had the wind knocked out of her. She didn't know how she survived the very long drop. Then a thought came to her mind. Maybe she was finally free. Free from that wicked woman who would torture her in that house where no one would help. Frisk decided that it would be best if she carried on. After looking around a bit she saw an arched door way and, seeing as it was the only way to go, she went through.
She then heard a high pitched voice and soon found the owner. "Howdy! I'm Flowey! Flowey the Flower!", said the owner of the high pitched voice who was indeed, to Frisk's surprise, a smiling Flower. "Hmmm... You're new to the underground, arent'cha? Golly, you must be so confused. Someone ought to teach you how things work around here! I guess little old me will have to do. Frisk didn't know if she should trust the flower. He seemed to be her best option as of right now though. So she put her trust into the flower who seemed so kind. She was dead wrong.
"Are you ready? Here we go!" Frisk felt a weird feeling in her stomach, as if she was losing something close. She then saw what it was. Her heart was flying out of her body. Then she heard Flowey's voice again. "See that heart? That is your soul! The very culmination of your being. Your soul starts off weak, but can go strong if you gain a lot of LV. What's LV stand for? Why, LOVE, of course! You want some LOVE, don't you?" Frisk was beginning to go wary of the flower. Something didn't seem right.. she just didn't see what was wrong. Then Flowey started speaking again. "Don't worry, I'll share some with you! Down here LOVE is shared through little white friendliness pellets. Are you ready? Move around, get as many as you can!"
Little white things, that she was guessing were friendliness pellets floated into the air, and started flying at Frisk. Frisk knew something was off. She dodged them very well for her small size. Flowey's face grew sinister. "Hey buddy.", he said with a sly tone, "You missed them. Lets try again, okay?" Again she dodged the white things with full on grace and balance that she didn't know she had.
Flowey looked impatient. "Is this a joke? Are you braindead? RUN. INTO. THE. BULLETS!
She dodged them again, realizing the flower's true intentions. Flowey made a face she's never seen before. An angry, sly sort of smirk she doesn't really want to ever see again. "You know whats going on here, don't you? You just wanted to see me suffer.", he said all the words slowly as if she couldn't comprehend what he was saying.
A circle of the pellets formed around her. There was no escape. "Die", he said it in such a calm way as the pellets began to circle in very slowly. She figured he wanted her to have a slow painful death, but as the bullets were a few inches away from her, they disappeared. Flowey's expression was shocked. She then saw what shocked him. A fireball was hurtling at him.
Flowey was swept aside fire the fireball. Frisk didn't know what to think. Who had saved her? She looked over and saw a woman with a rather kind, motherly look. "What a horrible creature, torturing such a poor, innocent youth... Ah, do not be afraid, my child. I am Toriel, caretaker of the ruins. I pass through this place everyday to see if anyone has fallen down. What is your name. Frisk, realizing it was finally time for her to speak, managed to croak out "Frisk". She didn't talk much since she really didn't have much to talk about. "What a lovely name. You are the first human to fall down here in a long time. Come with me. I will guide you through the catacombs."
Frisk was scared at first. The first person she'd met tried to talk them kindly into making her trust them. Though she had a feeling that Flowey was bad. He seemed too eager to get something done. The only eager thing she could sense off Toriel was that she wanted Frisk to like her. Not in a bad way like Flowey did just so he could try to kill her, but in a sort of friendship kind of way. Frisk decided to trust Toriel, with her kind looking smile. Though she wouldn't let her guard down until she was completely sure.
Toriel guided Frisk to a room with red leaves across the floor. There was a glowing yellow thing in the middle of the room. Toriel didn't seem to see it. Frisk went up to touch it. She was suddenly filled with determination to get through this place, but she felt some power from the glowing star thing. She just didn't know what, and just like that they continued on their walk.
Frisk was now in a room with strange button looking things on the floor, a lever on the wall, and a closed door. "Here, allow me to guide you through the ruins' puzzles." She stated it but Frisk felt deep down that it was a question, so she nodded approvingly to Toriel, who smiled brightly. She ran over some of the buttons on the floor in a pattern like way. She then went over to the wall to pull a yellow switch. The door began to open from the sides like an elevator door. Toriel smiled at her then gestured she should follow, so she did. Though, first she looked at a stone thing along the wall with words written on it. It said "Only the fearless may proceed, brave ones, foolish ones. Both walk not the middle road." Frisk didn't understand at the time. Though she believed she eventually would. She was very young after all.
She then proceeded on to the next room where she found Toriel standing patiently, her eyes lit up with happiness and a smile. She found that she liked Toriel almost as a mother since she never had a true one herself. "Go along ahead," Toriel said approvingly, "I have marked the correct switches you will need to pull."
Frisk soon found out that she sure did mark them. Large yellow arrows and words saying "Pull this one!" were load and clear enough that she knew which one to pull. Frisk couldn't help but giggle at this act. Perhaps Toriel thought she didn't know how to read and the arrows were necessary. Frisk was a smart girl, and she learned how to read a few years ago.
Pulling the switches caused the spikes blocking her back to sink back into the ground. It was a neat sight considering her mother didn't really let her into the outside world to see new things, but she wanted those thoughts out of her head and she carried on with Toriel.
In the next room Frisk found an odd looking dummy sort of thing that had a cartoon dog shaped face. "Since you are a human living in the underground monsters might attack you. You must be prepared for this situation." Frisk didn't want to hurt anyone or anything, but she listened as Toriel continued to talk. "Please, do not hurt them my child. They do not understand and are afraid of you. Instead of fighting them try reasoning with them. Each monster has a very different personality, but I have only known you for a short period of time and I can already tell that you have a kind soul. I know you won't hurt them. I know you will find what sparks them into trusting you. I know you will make great friends here, but we might as well practice. Head up to that dummy and enter a fight with it, but instead of fighting talk to it."
Frisk did as she was told and went up to the dummy. She again felt that still strange pull of her soul, as Flowey called it, being pulled out of her being. Frisk pulled up all of her manners and smiled brightly at the dummy. She started to say "Hello, my name is Frisk. Pleased to meet you." Her soul gradually started floating back into her body like before. She felt she was getting used to it, but it would take time. Toriel looked at her smiling proudly, and just like that they continued on once more.
They started walking through a room with a strange path on the floor. There was a croak, and out of no where she was pounced on by a frog looking creature. Her soul started floating out again and she realized that the frog had started a fight with her. She started thinking for a moment and then decided to stay calm, and talk to the frog. "Hello, I like your eyes.", Frisk managed to say through a smiling face though deep down she was scared. Then something surprising happened. The frog started to blush. They croaked a soft "Thank you" before hopping away. Toriel was right. There is a good side to the monsters. Toriel looked at her fondly. Frisk smiled at her and Toriel took this as an approving gesture of kindness. She looked so happy at that moment.
They finally started carrying on after they shared a few kind words with each other. After the room where they had seen what Toriel called a Froggit there was another one of those stone looking signs. It read "The western room is the eastern room's blueprint." Then it started making sense of the curved paths on the floor of the previous room. They were the path needed to take for the room up ahead, which was full of spikes. Frisk was nervous about the puzzle but Toriel grabbed her hand and smiled at her as she walked through the spikes to reveal that they are magic. The path was of spikes that were not really there but only an illusion. Though, Frisk couldn't say the same about the rest of the spikes that weren't path, so she did her best to avoid them. "Puzzles seem a bit dangerous right now, you should get the hang of them first.".
As they carried on to the next room Toriel did something unexpected. "My child, Frisk, you have done very well thus far and I am very proud of you. Though, I must ask something of you that may be difficult. Walk to the end of this room by yourself." After saying this Toriel sped down the corridor. Frisk was confused. Did Toriel leave her? Frisk started walking the way Toriel went. Once she got to the end of the room there was a pillar, and Toriel came out from behind it.
"My child, please do not be frightened. I did not leave you. Thank you for trusting me. This was a test for your independence. I must leave you alone for a bit. Please do not leave this room. It is too dangerous for you to go out alone. Here is a self phone that has my number programmed into it. If you need me call, okay? Frisk was sad and she loved Toriel so very much. Even after being with her for such a short period of time. She felt daring. Frisk responded, "Okay.. Mom"
