The scent of golden flowers filled the air. Three children lay on the gilded floor, one monster, and two humans. The first to wake was the monster, and he looked at both of the children next to him. "Hey! Guys! Wake up! Wake up!" He then looked at both of the humans, who looked oddly familiar. He tried to remember, but quickly dismissed it as he realised he had never seen a human in person before.

Suddenly, one of the humans rose. Looking around him, he saw the monster child and another fallen human. "Hey there! Who are you?"

As he heard the child, the monster felt warmth flow through him. Somehow, he knew this human was trustable, even though he had just met him. "I-I'm Asriel! Who are you?" He stuttered, berating himself for doing so immediately.

"I'm Frisk! Nice to meet you! Are you a monster?"

Asriel laughed. Shaking his head, he answered him. "Use your brain, do I look like a human?" They both laughed, and as they did, the second human woke up.

She looked at the strange scene in front of her - a human and a monster cracking up - and muttered "I want to go back to sleep…" This prompted Asriel and Frisk to stop laughing, and turn around.

"Who are you two? And before you ask me, I'm Chara," she asked, looking around in the meantime.

"I'm Asriel, and he's Frisk!"

Chara smiled. "Frisk, huh? That's a nice name." Chara turned away and rose to look at what they had fallen into, just missing Frisk's blush. Asriel wondered what that meant, while Frisk daydreamed and thought about the possibilities.

"Okay, I want to ask you guys something. Where were you before you fell down here?" Asriel folded his arms as he waited for an answer.

Chara was the first to answer, as Frisk was a little busy. "Well, I was climbing this mountain, when I felt this weird surge of something, then I moved. Not much, about as far as one step, but enough to disorient me. That made me trip into this...hole and I fell down until I came here." Frisk perked up immediately.

"That's almost identical to what I was about to say! I was climbing this -"

Asriel cleared his throat. "Well, I was just walking down to water my flowers when I also felt some weird surge, but this 'surge' must have been different than the one you felt, because I went blind for a few seconds before I realised I was falling down here! Where are we, anyway?"

Both Frisk and Chara looked at Asriel. "You live here, in this land, right? You lead the way!" Chara proclaimed, before going to stand behind him. Asriel realised that he probably did know a lot more about the underground than anyone else there, so he had to take charge.

Walking into the place, they looked at the walls. "Hmm…" Frisk muttered, looking at the walls. "I'm going to call this place the 'Ruins'."
