I opened my eyes. Was this real life, was this just fantacy, I didn't know but I did know one thing. I was alive. I stood up, trampling a few golden flowers in the process. Suddenly I was stopped in my tracks. Another golden flower popped out of the ground. "Howdy I'm Flowey, Flowey the flower." "What the actual HELL is that!" I screamed out. "You are new to the underground aren't you? Golly you must be so confused right now." I didn't even know what to do, I heard legends of monsters but i had thought they were just that. "Someone ought to teach you how things work around here. I guess little old me will have to do. Ready? Here we go." With those words all color drained from the world and the symbol of a heart apeared above my blue and purple sweater. "See that heart? That is your SOUL, the very culmanation of your being." "What do you mean my SOUL? What the heck does that have to do with anything?" I asked the anthropomorphic flower. "Your SOUL starts of weak, but can grow strong if you gain a lot of LV." To be perfectly honest I was actually starting to warm up to the little flower, a friendly face in this madness had a strange calm to it.
"So... what does LV mean?" "What's LV stand for? Why, LOVE, of course! You want some LOVE don't you?" Well that sounded a bit creepy. "What excatly do you mean by that." I asked in a very offended tone of voice. "Don't worry I'll share some with you! Down here LOVE is shared through... little white 'Friendliness Pellets!' Are you ready?" There was just something about this little flower that made me respond with a simple "yes." Little white 'Friendliness Pellets' formed above his head and floated towards me. "Move around! Get as many as you can!" I reached out to grab the pellets. Excrutiating pain flooded my body as the pellets made contact with my skin. My knees buckled under the preasure of my own body and i collapsed to the ground. "YOU IDIOT. In this world it's kill or BE killed! Why would ANYONE pass up an opportunity like this!?" Flowey's pellets completly surrounded me, slowly closing in. "DIE." The pellets flew forward at incredible speed. I closed my eyes and flinched in anticipation of the enormous pain i would soon experience. It never came. Opening my eyes I witnessed a ring of fire around me burning up the barrage of pellets.
"What a terrible creature, torturing such a poor innocent youth..." A strange goat creature shot a bolt of fire out of it's hands and the flower ducked underground realizing that he was outmatched. "Ah, do not be afraid my child. I am Toriel caretaker of the ruins. I pass through this place everyday to see if anyone had fallen down." Toriel said with a surprisingly calming and maternal voice. "Where am I and what's going on?" "You are the first human to come here in a long time. Come! I will guide you through the cattacombs. This way." Well i guess that was a little bit of helpful information. The bipedal goat women took my hand and started to walk forward until a giant entrance loomed overhead filling me with determination. "So again i ask what is going on and where are we?" Toriel stopped in her tracks and turned to me. "You have fallen down into the underground and we are in a place known as the Ruins." Finally I get a straight answer. We started to walk againand after a bout of awkward silence I spoke up. "Where are we going?" Toriel looked at me with a caring smile. "My, my, my, child you really do ask a lot of questions. We are going to my house where you will live now. By the way what do you prefer, Cinnamon, or Butterscotch?" She seemed nice and all, but there was no chance in hell I was going to stay here in this wierd messed up world."Umm... I can't stay here, I'm sorry." Toriel looked hurt, but did not say anything. "Toriel... are you alright?" "Yes my child, I'm fine." Even though I had no intention to stay with her forever it couldn't hurt to stay a little while.
"Hey Toriel, can I call you mom?" "Of course my child, anything to make you happy." Looking as though I had given her the greatest compliment in excistance filled me with determination. "Mom? Do you bake?" Goat-Mom grew the biggest smile I've ever seen. "Why yes my child I'm indeed a bit of a baker." "Good because you have the greatest 'Buns' around." "...you are an interesting child." We eventually arrived at her house and Toriel lead my down a hall to the first door on the left. "This is your room. I hope you like it little one." She patted my head, mentioned how something smelled like it was burning, and ran off. I opened the door and was suddenly hit with a wave of nastalga. All I could think of was how similar it looked to Nonym's room. Looking around I noticed things that probably belonged to a young child, even the bed was a bit too small. I layed down with tears in my eyes thinking about the long tramatic day I had. Thoughts about what the future held filled my mind and lulled my into a not so peaceful slumber.
Well that's the second chapter of Determination of the heart. I hope it's all very pleasing to the followers and anyone else who reads it
