Chapter Two - Journey Through the Ruins

Matthew didn't take his eyes off of the male goat and begun to step backwards, unsure if he should trust the creature. It realized that the child was afraid and let out a soft sigh. "I don't intend to harm you." The boy didn't answer and it tried again for a response. "My name is Arthur."

The child took a moment to answer. "Mine is Matthew."

"I can patch up your wounds at my house. It isn't far from here. Would you like that?" Arthur offered thoughtfully. The blonde boy nodded. "Follow me and I will lead you through the catacombs. They are filled with ancient puzzles and traps, but they are safe."

The boy nodded again to show he was listening. The creature turned and walked past a door like path farther up. Matthew hesitated when the goat disappeared. After Viktor attacked him, why should he trust Arthur? The sunflower did say that the underground was "suffer or cause suffering". Even then, who said that those words were true? Noticing a glowing light, he reached out towards it. The glow grew a bit more before the light dimmed back to normal, leaving Matthew with the feeling to continue on. So he ran after Arthur.

The child listened to the monster as they passed through the room. The one with the dummy was where Arthur taught him to talk his way out of a fight and spare. It was the opposite of what Viktor said. Eventually they came to the room where it didn't seem to have anything special to it.

Arthur glanced at him. "Matthew, I want you to go down this hallway alone. I must test your independence." He ran down the hallway before the boy could say anything. The child was left confused.

He sighed and began to walk on the light colored path, just in case it was a puzzle. He noticed a pillar and went up to, only for Arthur to come out behind it.

"Why did you want to test my independence?" Matthew asked curiously.

The goat creature smiled slightly, in a sad way. "There is some business I must attend to, so I have to leave you here for a while. I will return, so please wait for me. Before I go, I will give you this cellphone so we can stay in contact. Be good, love." He said before leaving Matthew again.

He put the phone in his pocket before deciding to start wondering the rest of the ruins alone. He might find Arthur while he was at it. The Froggits helped guide him as he traveled deeper, and he fell through the fragile floor a few times. At one point, Arthur did call him to know what his favorite flavor was since he was planning to make some scones.

After a while, he spotted another glowing light. It stood across from a mouse hole and next to a wooden table with a cheese on it. Matthew reached out to the light while thinking about the mouse one day getting the cheese. It filled him with determination.

He went into the next room and spotted a creature lying on leaves that laid on the ground. Walking up silently, he realized that it was wake and hadn't noticed him yet. On top it's head was a tomato. It seemed focused on something, which made the child consider leaving it be, though there was no other way to continue from what he could see.

"Um… mister?" The boy questioned the creature's gender. It glanced at him and floated upright with a smile.

"You look pretty young," it spoke with a male voice, "so you must be a child, sí [Spanish|yes]?"

Matthew nodded. "I am, but are you alright?"

"Hm?" The creature was confused for a second. "Oh you mean about me laying around. I was just thinking about an amigo [Spanish|friend/comrade] of mine. He hasn't spoken to me since he left to fulfil his dreams. I'll just leave for now, since I'm blocking your path."

The boy watched as creature faded and vanished before him. "Must be a ghost?" He asked himself thoughtfully. Shaking the idea out of his mind, he decided to check out what was ahead. Spider webs were attached to the wall and floor, and there appeared to be items in them. He read the sign in front of the webs and smiled softly.

He went towards one of the webs and took out some of the money that he collected. "I'm not sure how this will work, but I'll just leave some of this here for you." Matthew told the spiders before carefully placing seven gold pieces in the web. To his surprise, some spider grabbed one of the items and moved to him. He picked it up, realizing that it was a donut. He thanked them before heading on.

Additional Notes::

So I am going to write the human names after the character is actually introduced. For some characters, I will hold back because I feel they have a bit more complex to them. Once the complex part is told, the names will be mentioned. Thanks for reading~.
