The golden flowers, now stained with red from the long gruelling battle, covered the palace floor. Both opponents worn tired.

Frisk however, was still determined to go the route of mercy rather than murder, desperately tried to spare the king, to which was proven a difficult task as the king had taken it upon himself to destroy their chances of doing so. His spear which he possessed seemed to be dragging, his breath was becoming more laboured by the minute, his body seemed to be drained of all energy.

This however all seemed like a distant memory now to Frisk, to whom was recovering from the last battle she would ever have to face down here. Asriel was now at peace ,until he was to be turned back into the soulless being he previously was. The barrier was now broken and their friends freed.

Frisk watched as myriads of monsters, of various colours and species, slowly made their was out. All excited to be drowned into the morning sunlight of which they have been deprived of all these years. A warm paw touched their shoulder in a gentle embrace.

"Come my child, come to the others, we all want to thank you", Toriels soft voice comforted Frisks mind as they walked over to their friends.

All gathered in a circle were the only people she cherished most in this small world. Toriel, Sans, Papyrus, Undyne and Alphys.

"FRISK, good job out there, even I the great Papyrus wouldn't have been able to something as amazing as that", the charismatic skeleton cheered as he ran up to hug them.

"You did a good job kid", Undyne said as she gave them a strong slap on the back.

"Th-thank you Frisk, you were amazing', Alphys smiled as she gently shook Frisks hand.

Their eyes diverted over to Sans, who seemed to be covered underneath his hood, hands confided in his pockets. He gave Frisk a smirk, to them it felt thankful.

The shadow of the king towered over Frisk his intimidating size would make anyone nervous, he simply smiled down at them and said in a gentle voice, "i cant apologise enough, young one please forgive me. You saved everyone down here, were all so thankful"

By this time, the crowd of monsters swarming to get out had disappeared, leaving only a few late ones to venture out.

"COME ON HUMAN!, LETS SEE THE OUTSIDE!",Papyrus shouted as he began to sprint to the exit, followed by Undyne.

The others all rushed forward, each one practically itching to experience the warmth of the suns rays, or the coolness of the breeze on their skin.

'Hey kiddo, i gotta talk to you for a second", Sans said, as his grabbed Frisks hand. To which Frisk tilted their head in wonder.

"you did a good job of freeing everyone, peacefully, everyone is happy kiddo", Sans grabs their hand in his and looks away, with a subtle smile plastered on his face. "Come on buddy, lets leave together".

Sans tightened his grip on Frisks hand as they got closer towards to exit. Laughter and joy of their friends could be heard outside.

Sans stepped through the now broken barrier first, a calming breeze hit Frisks face, as they breathed out to fully enrapt themselves in the freedom, as a warm tear made a river down their cheek.

Without warning, an electric like current threw Frisk back against the opposite wall of the cave. They let out a pain filled yell.

"Frisk!?", Sans yelled, rushing back toward to entrance to the underground. But alas, the skeleton was unable to break his was back in, the electric like current which had hit Frisk appeared to have no affect on Sans, but instead the skeleton was banning on what seemed like an invisible wall. "Frisk! Whats happening? I can't get to you!", Sans screamed.

Frisk was still disorientated from the sudden blast, that they couldn't quite focus on what was happening. Frisk heard the worried shouts, screams and bangs of their friends outside.

Was this is price to pay for their friends to be free? To be trapped in this cave for eternity. Frisk didn't know much, but what they did know was that the barrier was back, and this adventure wasn't over as soon as they would have liked.
