SCREW LEGENDS!
It was a beautiful day outside. Birds were singing. Flowers were blooming. It was on days like these that all the kids of the City of Portfree would put down all of their electronics ( much to the surprise of the parents) and beg their superiors to drive them to the Memorial Park near Mt. Ebott. One would be questioning as to why a city of all things, was so close to a mountain. Well, a long time ago, a settlement was built near the mountain and due to modernization and urbanization became a city. Thankfully, the humans of the current generation were eco-friendly and decided not to bulldoze the large plot of land, but instead turned it into a park. Free of the stifling gases in the city and all other things.
The sun gave ray's of a comfortable 80 degrees, white puffy clouds floated by occasionally to block the sun and temporarily cool the people that were enjoying the lovely display of nature. There was none who was enjoying this day more than 15 year old Frisk and their two friends Ethan and Amy. The jubilant trio were tossing about a pink frisbee amongst the morning glory flowers that made that particular part of the land their home.
" Go long Frisk!" Ethan shouted happily as he swung his arm back and threw the disk to the light brown skinned teen.
" Got it- whoa!" they exclaimed as they jumped in the air and promptly tripped over a rock and landed flat on their ass.
" You okay Frisk?" asked Amy as she jogged to where Frisk was sitting. She was further away than Ethan.
" Yeah. Didn't feel a thing." they said as they hoisted themselves up.
They dusted themselves off, checking to see if their prized blue and pink striped V-neck shirt with long sleeves got damaged.
" Damn. Can't believe you're not hot in that thing Frisk." Ethan said as he tried to fan himself off with his hand. " I feel like I'm about to melt."
" Did you know ducks melt at 90 degrees?" Amy joked
" No they don't!" Frisk laughed, hitting Amy's shoulder
They all turned to look towards . Their parents told them about the history of monsters, but none of them believed that monsters truly lived under the mountain. The magic of magic faded out a long time ago for them.
" Hey, you guys wanna climb up the mountain. I the wild strawberries up there are freaking delicious. Maybe we could pick some and my mom could make us a smoothie to beat the heat." Frisk suggested
" Sure. I don't see why not." Amy said
" Hell yeah. Your mom's smoothies are off the chain. I'll go go tell our parent's now." Ethan said running off
" Shall we begin our trek up this mountain?" Frisk asked
" Yes we shall." Amy replied. She put her hand to her chin as if she were thinking about something. " But what are we going to put the strawberries in. We don't have any baskets."
" Oh yes we do!" Frisk said suddenly pulling two woven baskets from behind her back out of thin air.
" Where'd you get those?" Amy asked
" I never tell my secrets. Now LETS HIKE!"
The two started their hike up the mountain. Baskets in one hand and large sticks in the other for balance up the terrain. The tall and lush green trees provided a perfect shade against the sun, which decided to amp up its temperature. About after 15 minutes of climbing, the two found a strawberry patch just a while away from the top of the mountain. It wasn't that all of a mountain to begin with. Much to their dismay, there were no strawberries. Only the blooms.
" Damn it. I was so excited to pick some too." Frisk groaned.
" Ah well, better luck next time." their friend comforted
As Frisk turned around, something red caught their eye.
" Strawberries!" they exclaimed as they raced to the top of the mountain.
" Wait! Frisk, hold up! Be careful!" Amy shouted as she followed after her friend.
" There. Right there. Just above the hole in the mountain." Frisk said as they pointed to some strawberries, hanging over the hole.
" Aren't strawberries supposed to grow on the ground? Why are they suspended from that vine?" Amy asked confused.
" Doesn't matter to me. " Frisk said.
Frisk drew closer to the strawberries, but they couldn't reach. They held on to the trunk of the closest tree and leaned to grab the strawberries. They still couldn't quite reach. Frisk loosed their grip on the tree in favor of a vine. The could almost reach. Frisk tiptoed on one foot and leaned forward, fingernails barely reaching the closest strawberry.
" Al...most...got...it." They strained.
" Frisk be car-"
" AHHHHHH!"
Amy was cut of by Frisk's scream. The vine had snapped under Frisk's weight and they lost balance. They put their next foot down to steady themselves, only succeeding in tripping over a root and falling into Mt. Ebott.
" FRIIIISK!" Amy screamed terrified. " HOLY FU- FRISK! I'LL GO GET HELP!"
Amy screamed running away. " Help! Help! "
Nothing but darkness surrounded Frisk, Amy's screams were drowned out with screams of their own.
" Ahhhh! Help! Someone save me!"
But nobody came.
Frisk didn't know how long they were falling. The mountain wasn't that tall so they expected to crash and die soon. However, it felt like an eternity. Frisk was just about ready to come up with the assumption that they would keep falling forever until she saw something golden.
" Ah shi-"
Frisk's curse was cut off as their body roughly fell into a patch of buttercups that broke their fall and prevented their gruesome death.
However, pain still exploded all over Frisk's body. Especially their right forearm.
It was broken.
They winced and grunted in pain. They tried rolling to one side but it was too much. Their body begain to go numb.
" Is this the end of me? Is this how I die?" Frisk whispered to no one as they slipped into unconsciousness.
Their eyes closed. But not permanently. Frisk wouldn't die there.
He would make sure of it.
