Frisk groaned in pain as they slowly woke up. Their body was numb, only slight feeling in their fingers that twitched. Frisk huffed as they propped up on their elbows. They rose their arm to brush the petals that were woven in their hair. Mistake. Pain shot through their arm like a current of lightning. Their arm was broken. Given the fact that their was a bulge on her right forearm.
'An outward break. That's good.' Frisk thought. They knew inward breaks were dangerous. They couldn't be detected as easily.
Frisk grunted. Completely sitting upright. They took the time to look at the architecture. Thick dark green vines with yellow buttercups that wrapped themselves around beige pillars that were humongous, leading almost all the to the top of the opening. The rock wall surrounding them were a deep rich purple color. The numerous amount of bright yellow buttercups covering the ground completed the looks of this cave and its strange color palette.
Frisk used their good arm to steady themself as they pushed up to stand up completely. They wobbled around for a minute before balancing. They moved their head back and forth to look for some sort of exit. Climbing up and out was out of the question since Frisk's arm was broken. Besides, they never did rock climbing and the pillars did not go up to the top anyway. They turned their head towards a shallow opening.
Before leaving, one thought, a thought that should have come to them first, came.
" Wait. I just fell into a mountain from a height that would make something explode into pieces. So how the hell am I not dead.
I was wondering the same thing.
Frisk looked around the room quickly, hoping to see someone but nothing.
" Huh. Probably just my imagination" Frisk was known to have a vivid imagination that would often run wild.
Dusting off their brown skin that was covered in dirt and cuts of various sizes, they walked out of the patch of flower, being extremely careful not to step on any as they made their way to the shallow opening.
Surprisingly the tunnel led to a door. Maybe it was the way out. Frisk part walked part stumbled to the door. Not even questioning how in the wailing wazoo was there a light source if they were most likely underground at this point. Light can't curve , so there is no way the light from the top of the mountain could bend into the opening.
Frisk passed through the door. Immediately coming into contact with what appeared to be a single yellow petaled and white faced flower. When Frisk drew closer, they noticed that the flower had a literal face.
" Howdy! I'm Flowey. Flowey the Flower." it suddenly said in a creepily cheery voice.
Frisk exclaimed, jumping back but hurting their arm in the process. Frisk winced in response. They were one a one mind track to immediately jump on top of the unnatural piece of nature, crushing it beneath their brown combat boots. What made Frisk change their mind was that it was just an innocent and harmless flower. It wasn't like it was gonna kill them or anything. Right?
" Hmmm...you're new to the underground. Aren't ya." he continued " Golly. You must be so confused."
" You're sure as hell right I am. And what the frig is the underground?" Frisk whispered that last part so only they heard it.
"Someone ought to teach you how things work around here."
"Can you do that for me?" Frisk felt weird asking a talking flower for help.
"Well, I guess little old me I'll have to do it." Flowey continued as if he didn't hear what Frisk was saying. Frisk didn't feel offended though. Flowers don't have ears. Or faces for that matter but whatevs.
" Ready? Let's go."
Suddenly, the room turned completely black. Flowey and Frisk appeared as a ghostly white color. Except Frisk had a bright red glowing heart in the front of them. They moved to the right. The heart followed. The same thing happened when Frisk moved to the left.
" See that? That's your soul. The very culmination of your being." the flower explained
' Huh. So that's what this thing is.' Frisk thought. The lightly touched the glowing heart and Frisk felt it. ' I have to be careful not to get this thing hit. If it gets damaged. I get hurt.'
Frisk noticed that in the side of their vision were a few statistics: LV 1 and HP 20/20.
" Your soul starts out weak but can grow strong if you gain lots of LV."
"What does LV stand for?" Frisk asked, though they were should the question would be ignored and answered anyway.
" What does LV stand for? Why. Love. Of course."
"Called it." Frisk said flatly with lowering eyelids.
"You want some LOVE don't you."
" No. Not really" Frisk said. They weren't fond of hugging or kissing or pats on the head or any of that mushy stuff. They were fine with appreciation and affection not love.
"Don't worry. I'll share some with you." the flower winked and stuck out its...tongue?
Frisk mentally shivered. Frisk decided to stop trying to talk to the flower. It was obvious it either wasn't listening or couldn't hear. The flower didn't grow any ears the last time Frisk checked. Maybe it kept going on because others had fallen before hand and had them same reaction and things to say. So it most likely automatically assumed Frisk was the same. At least, that is what Frisk thought logically.
"Down here, LOVE is share through...little white... FRIENDLINESS PELLETS!" It cheered as seed like pellets came from in the back of it.
' That's strange and a bit in direct but...I'll dig." Frisk thought as they mentally and physically shrugged.
" Are you ready? Move around. Collect as many as you can."
The pellets were suspended in midair. Frisk was not sure to take them. They were told about taking things from stranger. And stranger was a complete understatement in this case. Hundreds of red flags were raised along with the constant message STRANGER DANGER ! STRANGER DANGER! ringing through their ears but it was ignored.
Flowey threw the pellets at Frisk who went towards the. They grabbed some with their hands, expecting this LOVE thing but...
BWANG!
" ERGH!"
Frisk fell back and grunted, screaming in agony. The pain was worse than when they fell. They looked in the corner to see their HP was 1/20. They assumed it was health points.
" You idiot! " it screeched evilly, adopting a smile of ridiculously sharp teeth.
" Reality check, bipolarness confirmed." Frisk moaned
" In this world. It kill or BE killed."
More pellets completely encompassed Frisk.
"Why would anyone pass up an opportunity like this!" It snickered
" Die " its said, with its face looking completey demonic.
The pellets sped towards Frisk and Flowey laughed evilly with his sharptoothed face again but just as the pellets were about to hit Frisk, they disappeared and Frisk's HP was restored to 20. All of their injuries the flower gave them were gone. Including the ones from the fall.
"What?/Huh?"
Flowey's pupils shrunk and then dilated as he was hit and knocked away with a ball of fire.
"Where the hell did that come from" Frisk said frightened.
A woman...no. A goat monster lady t came into Frisk's vision. In all honesty, Frisk wasn't that surprised. She was almost killed by a fricking talking flower. They just decided to not talk and let the goat lady say what they wanted to.
"What a teribble creature. Tormenting such a poor and innocent youth." the goat said with a disappointed face. She noticed Frisk's face
" Ah! Do not be afraid my child. I am Toriel. Caretaker of the Ruins" she introduced herself.
Frisk wasn't afraid though. Just very very very confused as to what in the hell just transpired.
" I pass through this place everyday to see if anyone has fallen down." she continued
" You are the only human to come down here in a long time."
'I was right. People have been down here before.' Frisk thought
The black and white room reverted back to normal. Now that the color was back, Frisk could see that the dress Toriel was wearing was purple with white sleeves and whit what appeared to be a white design on the front. Frisk couldn't decipher it and neither were their interested in it.
The monster motioned for frisk to follow her. At this point frisk didn't have a choice. It was either go with Toriel or wait for the flower to come back and finish what it started.
" This way." Toriel said as she walked off.
And Frisk. Followed.
Please review and follow. Also, who do you think the voice who spoke to Frisk was?
