Chapter 6 - Puzzled Part 1
Harry walked in front of Frisk while holding their hand in his left. Frisk had a satisfied smile on their face as they followed after him. Harry smiled back at them before they came to another guard station. Harry held up his hand to make Frisk stop as he moved forward.
Harry looked it over and chuckled when he saw what was written on the sign. He looked at Frisk who was giggling silently and motioned for them to come over. When they did they both read the sign.
'YOU OBSERVE THE WELL CRAFTED SENTRY STATION! WHO COULD HAVE BUILT THIS, YOU PONDER? I BET IT WAS THAT VERY FAMOUS ROYAL GUARDSMAN!' They shared a look before reading the smaller writing next to that proclamation, 'NOTE: NOT YET A VERY FAMOUS ROYAL GUARDSMAN!' Harry smiled as Frisk covered their mouth as they giggled mutely.
'Let's continue.' Harry signed to them before holding out his hand. Frisk took it and smiled before allowing themselves to be led along by Harry.
Harry and Frisk continued down the path before Harry stopped them again. He made a wait sign and walked forward, reading the sign out of the corner of his eye and pausing in front of the sentry station. He froze as a dog stood up with a growl and Harry felt his soul beat and he let it be pulled out.
Frisk's eyes widened when they saw their new brother's blue and green soul pulse, they started to move forward to help but Harry's attention snapped to them and they stopped. The dog spotted the movement and growled before a blue attack came toward Harry.
Harry's eyes narrowed and he let them pass through him. He practically memorized the different attacks monsters had when reading his book. Blue attacks didn't hurt you when you stood still, just as orange attacks didn't hurt you when you were moving. Harry looked at the dog, who according to his dogtag was named Doggo, and ducked forward to pet his head.
Doggo started barking erratically in shock and looked around again as Harry froze, "S-s-something pet me! Something that isn't m-m-moving!" Doggo whimpered, "I'm going need some dog treats for this." He ducked back behind the counter, leaving a small pouch with thirty gold pieces.
Harry smirked and added those gold pieces to his small pouch. He then turned to look at Frisk who was smiling at him again. Harry raised an eyebrow and they shrugged. Harry smirked and ruffled Frisk's hair, 'Let's go.' He signed. Frisk nodded and they left the stand behind. They passed by a couple of burnt dog treats that Harry wrinkled his nose at.
They walked for a few minutes before Harry spotted Sans up ahead. Frisk smiled and ran forward to gesture at Sans, who looked at them with a confused look. Harry walked over and put his hands up.
'Calm down Frisk.' He signed. They pouted but stopped vibrating in excitement. Harry looked at Sans and pulled out his pad, 'Hello Sans.' He wrote.
"hey, here's something important to remember. my brother has a very special attack." This got both of their attentions, 'if you see a blue attack, don't move. it wont hurt you." Harry nodded, already knowing that.
Sans eyed him slightly, "here's an easy way to remember. keep it in mind," He winked, "imagine a stop sign. when you see a stop sign you stop, right?" He asked and Frisk nodded. Sans closed both eyes before continuing, "stop signs are red. so imagine a blue stop sign instead. so when fighting, think of a blue stop sign."
Frisk nodded and looked at Harry before pointing at the ice with a pleading look. Harry rolled his eye and nodded before shooing them towards the ice. They beamed and started to slip and slid on their shoes. Harry smiled and looked at Sans who was watching Frisk as well.
Harry plopped down on the ground and sighed inaudibly. Sans looked over at him and chuckled, "they running you ragged?" The skeleton asked.
Harry shook his head, 'No, I just want to protect them. They're so full of innocence and I don't want them to lose that.' He penned before looking down before writing the next part, 'Even if I have to give up my own.'
Sans eyes darkened when he read that and he studied the curly haired human, "let's not go that far kid." He said. Harry looked at him and nodded with a inaudible sigh.
Harry stood up suddenly when Frisk fell down. At the sight of tears he was rushing over and looking the younger human over. Sans watched as the older human fretted over the younger and shook his head. The kid wasn't bad, if anything he was over protective. Sans chuckled and walked off to meet up with Papyrus.
'You okay?' Harry asked. Frisk nodded and rubbed their eyes before looking at their scrapped knee. Harry smiled, 'Close your eyes.' He said and Frisk did so. Harry held up a finger and concentrated, he was pleased to see it glow a soft green and he placed it on Frisk's knee. The scrape glowed for a moment and then scabbed over. Harry winced in pain before cutting it off and rubbing his eye.
He looked Frisk and smiled when he saw that they had nodded off. Maybe it was a side effect from his healing method, exhausting the one being healed. Harry opened his bag to check on Flowey but was surprised to see the yellow flower asleep as well. Harry chuckled and zipped the bag up and put it on his front before picking Frisk up in a piggy back again.
'I would sleep, but I need to be awake to take care of Frisk. Plus it's freezing out here.' Harry thought to himself before continuing down the path with Frisk on his back. He looked up surprised when he noticed he came to a large slab of what appeared to be ice, but he wasn't completely sure. On the other side of it he noticed Sans and Papyrus talking.
"YOU'RE SO LAZY!" Papyrus was saying to Sans, "YOU WERE NAPPING ALL NIGHT!"
"i think that's called sleeping." Sans said, looking at Harry out of the side of his eyes.
"EXCUSES EXCUSES!" Papyrus said before turning and spotting Harry, "OH HO! THE HUMANS ARRIVE!" Then he spotted Frisk asleep and toned down his voice, "I SEE THAT YOU ALSO HAVE A LAZY SIBLING!"
'They're just sleeping. We've had a long day.' Harry wrote.
"NEVERMIND THAT! IN ORDER TO STOP YOU MY BROTHER AND I HAVE CREATED SOME PUZZLES." Papyrus started, "I THINK THAT YOU WILL FIND THIS ONE… QUITE SHOCKING!"
Harry looked at Sans who snickered at his blank face. As if not noticing their exchange Papyrus continued, "FOR YOU SEE! THIS IS THE INVISIBLE ELECTRICITY MAZE!"
'I'm shocked.' Harry held up and Papyrus stomped his foot while Sans sent him a thumbs up.
"WHEN YOU TOUCH THE WALLS OF THIS MAZE, THIS ORB WILL ADMINISTER A HEARTY ZAP. SOUND LIKE FUN?" Harry shook his head but Papyrus ignored him, "BECAUSE, THE AMMOUNT OF FUN YOU WILL HAVE… IS ACTUALLY RATHER SMALL I THINK." Harry sighed, "OKAY, YOU CAN GO AHEAD NOW."
Harry took a step forward and flinched when Papyrus was shocked. Papyrus snapped his attention to Sans and stomped his foot, "SANS! WHAT DID YOU DO?!"
Sans side eyed Harry, "i think the human has to hold the orb." He said.
Papyrus' jaw snapped shut, "OH, OKAY!" He said before walking through the maze to put the orb on Harry's head, "HOLD THIS PLEASE!" Surprisingly it balanced perfectly on his curls. Papyrus ran back through the maze, "OKAY, TRY NOW!" Harry stared across the maze in confusion when he noticed Papyrus' footprints going through the maze.
He shrugged and followed the tall skeleton's prints through the maze. Papyrus stares at him in shock and scowls, "INCREDIBLE! YOU SLIPPERY SNAIL! YOU SOLVED IT SO EASILY! TOO EASILY!" Harry raised an eyebrow as the skeleton continued, "HOWEVER! THE NEXT PUZZLE WILL NOT BE SO EASY! IT IS DESIGNED BY MY BROTHER, SANS! YOU WILL SURELY BE CONFOUNDED! I KNOW I AM!" He then laughed and zoomed backwards, much to Harry's surprise.
Harry shook his head and chuckled before walking over to Sans. He waved with one hand and Sans nodded at him.
"hey, thanks. my brother seems like he's having fun." Sans said before looking at Frisk, "so the kid conked out?" He asked. Harry nodded and Sans shrugged, "well, hopefully they'll wake up soon."
Harry shrugged and shuffled his pad into his hand, 'I'm okay with carrying them. It's what an older sibling does. They take care of their younger siblings.' Sans nodded in agreement.
"i agree with that. by the way, did you see that outfit my brother was wearing?" Harry nodded, "we made that a few weeks ago for a costume party. he hasn't worn anything else since. keeps calling it his 'battle body'. man, isn't my brother cool?" Harry smiled and nodded again.
Harry waved goodbye to Sans and walked over the land bridge. He noticed a tall, rabbit person leaning on a cart of some kind. Harry walked up to him and waved.
"I don't understand why these aren't selling." The rabbit said, "It's the perfect weather for something cold." It was then that he noticed Harry standing in front of him, "OH! A CUSTOMER!" He yelled.
Frisk shifted on Harry's back and blinked blearily as they came to. Harry looked over his shoulder at Frisk and smiled before letting them down. Frisk yawned and rubbed their eyes before stretching and looking up at the rabbit person as well.
"Hello, would you like some Nice Cream? It's the frozen treat that warms your heart. Only fifteen gold." The man asked. Harry pulled out his pouch and looked at Frisk who was staring at him with wide eyes. Harry rolled his eyes and looked back at the seller and held up two fingers. The seller pulled them out and handed them over while Harry shelled out thirty gold.
"Have a super duper day!" The seller thanked them and Frisk was eating theirs as the two walked away. Harry studied the wrapped and noticed that it had a seal that kept it cold. He hummed and stuck it in the side pouch of his back pack. 'Maybe Flowey would like one when he wakes up.' He thought before leading Frisk across a small wooden bridge.
He watched with a small smile as Frisk kicked the large snowball around until they got it into the hole further to the right. Harry chuckled and motioned for them to come back. He heard a crunching sound and jumped when he noticed Sans standing next to him.
Sans chuckled at Harry's expression and turned to Frisk, "I've been thinking of selling treats too. Want some fried snow? It's just five gold." He asked the younger human.
Frisk nodded and Harry watched as Sans increased the price and Frisk just kept nodding until Sans just shrugged and said he didn't have any fried snow. Harry rolled his eyes and they waved goodbye to Sans before walking to the right.
They traveled for a few more minutes before coming to yet another clearing. Harry was beginning to think that the trees were planted for the purpose of creating clearings. In the middle of the clearing was a piece of paper and on the other side stood the skeleton brothers.
Harry and Frisk stopped a few feet away from them, Frisk standing a bit behind Harry. The two skeletons noticed them and Papyrus cleared his throat, "HUMANS! I HOPE YOU'RE READY FOR…" He paused when he opened his eyes to see nothing before him, "SANS! WHERE IS THE PUZZLE?!"
"it's right there," Sans said, pointing, "on the ground." He grinned, "trust me, there's no way they can get past that one."
The brothers looked at them and waited. Harry stepped forward and picked the paper up. It was a word search. He looked up in confusion and pulled out a pen before quickly solving it quickly. He walked over to the skeletons and handed it over with a smile.
"SANS! THAT DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!" Papyrus yelled.
"whoops. i knew I should have done today's crossword puzzle instead." Sans said with a shrug.
"WHAT!? CROSSWORD? I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU SAID THAT!" Papyrus exclaimed. Harry looked back at Frisk, who shrugged, "IN MY OPINION, JUNIOR JUMBLE IS EASILY THE HARDEST."
"what? really, dude? that easy-peasy word scramble? that's for baby-bones." Sans said.
"UN… BELIEVABLE." Papyrus said before looking at Harry, "HUMAN! SOLVE THIS DISPUTE! WHICH DO YOU THIS IS HARDER! THE JUMBLE OR THE CROSSWORD?" He asked.
Harry put his pen to his chin and tapped it, 'They're both easy.' He finally wrote. Papyrus' eyes bugged out in shock and Harry shrugged, 'They're simple. I do them at the end of every week. They're fun.' Papyrus covered his ears as if he heard something incredible.
"YOU MUST BE INCREDIBLY INTELLIGENT!" He shouted before laughing and running the other way. Harry blinked and blew air out of his nose to pop his ears from the loud shout.
Harry looked at Sans who had the ever present grin of his face, "thanks for humering my brother by saying that both are easy. yesterday he got stumped trying to 'solve' the horoscope." He then went quiet and Frisk grabbed Harry's hand to pull him down the path that Papyrus had run. Harry turned his head to wave at Sans but noticed he was gone. He frowned and shrugged before allowing Frisk to drag him down the path.
