A Tale Of Two Races
You were falling. Just falling. The last thing in your memory was tripping over something at infamous and falling into the gigantic hole gorged into it.
…..
You were going to die, weren't you?
SOME TIME LATER
"Uurgh…" Had that all been a dream? Huh. It was pretty soft here, where you were laying….but it didn't really feel like home sweet home. Or make that prison home, since your wretched aunt took care of you because your parents died. Opening your eyes, you looked at what you were 'sleeping' on. A bed of golden flowers. Huh. Where were you?
You walked ahead (the only way out, it supposed) and looked at an intricate doorway framed with columns. For some reason, you couldn't see beyond it. Interesting. Stepping through, you entered a room containing a sunflower. That had a face. And talked.
"Howdy! I'm Fl-"
"AAAAHHHHHHHH! WHAT THE- HOLY- IT TALKED! IT TALKED OHMYGOSHWHATISGOINGONAMIINSANEOHMYGODITTALKEDWHAT" You screamed. The flower looked at you funny.
"Um…this is the Underground…and you must have fallen from the surface, right?" It looked a bit on edge from your screaming fit. Then again, so were you. You tried to steady your breathing. Okay, expect more living stuff. What next? Monsters? Not that you didn't like them, you were just…fragile and sensitive?
"Uh. Um…yeah I guess I'm, um, new. Yeah. Totally cool with that." You said quickly. The fl-Flowey was still looking at you strangely. "What?" You demanded. Flowey straightened up and cleared his throat.
"Anywayyyss…I'm going to teach you how things work around here!" The room flashed before everything turned black save you and Flowey. And like, 4 buttons that said FIGHT, ACT, ITEM, and MERCY. Then a little red heart appeared in a white box in front of you. Umm.
"See that little red heart? That is your SOUL, the very culmination of your being! Your SOUL starts out weak, but can grow strong if you gain a lot of LV. What's LV stand for? Why, LOVE, of course! You want some LOVE, don't you?" Not really. This was getting reeeally creepy…
"Don't worry! I'll share some with you!" Flowey winked, and some…white spinny things appeared around Flowey. White spinny things, reeeal wordy (Y/N).
"Down here, LOVE is spread through little white….friendliness pellets!" ..Pellets? They look like bullets. Um. Should I point that out? "Move around! Catch as many as you can!" You moved, and your SOUL moved with you. Coolllll. You swerved to avoid the 'pellets.' Flowey's expression went from uncannily cheerful to exasperated.
"Hey buddy, I think you missed them. Try again, okay?" You dodged again. "Is this a joke? Are you braindead? Run. Into. The. Bull-Pellets!" AHA! Now you deeefinitely didn't want to get hit by those…bullets. Then, without warning, Flowey's face went demonic.
"You know what's going on, don't you?" …Not really. But what you did know was that he was a TOTAL psychopath! Hooray (Y/N)!
"You just wanted to see me suffer." Whaaaat? Why would you want to do that? This guy needed some serious therapy.
"DIE." Maniacal laughter from Flowey as a circle of bullets surrounded your SOUL. Weelp. You were screwed. Just as you were going to be hit…the pellets disappeared. AHAHAHAHA! Flowey's expression was priceless. Then a fireball came out of nowhere and thwacked Flowey into oblivion. GEEET !
"What a-"
"AAAHHHHHHH WHAT ARE YOUUUUU HOLY MOTHER OF JESU-wait I'm not Christian-HOLY COW! Wait. Oh god…no offense…" Standing in front of you was a motherly-looking goat or cow lady with a nice smile on her face. She looked really nice. But still. That run-in with the weed Flowey had taught you- #1 RULE NEVER TRUST ANYONE. Until they earn your trust.
"Um…you have fallen down, haven't you? I am TORIEL, caretaker of the RUINS. Come with me, my child." OOkkaayy? If it protected you from the crazy houseplant you were fine with it for now…
