chapter ten: preparing for the long road.
When I woke the next morning, I felt really good like I could fight a dozen husks. What made it even better was when I smelled food, beacon mostly. I got out of the warm bed and followed the delicious smell, it was on the table with a glass of orange juice, there was a note beside the plate of food. I ate the food before I even glanced a second time.
And it read, ' frisk after you eat, meet me down stairs and remember to keep your hood on. And lastly I got word that the royal guard will be visiting snowdin, after are little… fight and we need to leave as soon as we can, -drake silverblood.'
My face fell a little, I may not know what this royal guard is but I do know they must not see me, or else. I quickly got my backpack and my cloak on and headed out the door. But as I left, I noticed a note besides the door with a dagger though it, holding it in place.
It read, ' human, drake told me that the royal guard will be here soon, so get your human ass up and out of the inn. We got things to do and supplies to buy, if my sister doesn't get you, I will, -sam.'
I had to read the note twice, the words were misspelled and a little scratchy. But I took her words to heart and left the room.
As I descended the steps I heard mk talking to drake, he sounded excited. Drake was leaning against the bar.
[line break]
"hello frisk, did you have a good night?" he asked as she walked closer.
" yo, I didn't know you knew drake! He is awesome like undyne, and he is a wizard yo!" Mk said, " are you a wizard too?" he asked frisk.
But before she could answer, drake spoke up, " she isn't yet, but merely my apprentice."
"whoa, that's cool yo!, to bad I can't hang around after my shift. Well I see you two later then," he said as he went behind the bar.
"well, that was something," frisk said.
"yes quite, anyway. Frisk we got things to do and not much time to do it, so keep your hood down and follow me," he said leaving the bar and outside the inn.
Like before frisk followed him, to where ever they had to go.
She couldn't hear many people, probably the news of the husks sacred most of them. And they wait until the royal guard came before they do anything else, it was a short walk when they heard Sam yelling at them.
"oi! There you two are, I've been waiting for a while and I started to wonder if you forgot about me," Sam said
" Is everything ready?" drake said as he stopped in front of her.
Sam grunted, " yeah everything is ready, but it would take a few minutes to load it on the wagon," she said.
Drake sighed, " okay, that's fine, It would give me enough time to collect some stuff," he reached into his robes and pulled out a list, " am low on a few magic ingredients, I need to buy some more. Sam you okay watching frisk for a few minutes?"
Sam grabbed frisks arm and pulled her close to her, a little to roughly, " yes, I can watch her as if she was my back."
"okay, I'll see you two soon," and he walked off.
Before frisk knew it, she was lifted into the air and carried off by sam. Who all the while was laughing, frisk on the other hand wanted to be put down. She tried breaking free, but find it hard to do.
"were here, human," Sam had set frisk down.
"where?" she asked taking a peek form under the hood.
There was a store, with weapons and armor seen though the window. And above the door in white letters read, 'arm's and armor.'
"why are we here?" frisk asked still a little disoriented from the grab and dash.
"drake said you needed better protection than quick reflex's and a dumb cloak, " she said walking up to the stores door, " and my gear is in here, ready to go. So come on human."
She walked in right after Sam, once she was inside her eyes nearly popped out of her head. There where swords as big as her, axes that looked like they could chop right though any tree and other assortments of weapons. Than there was the armor, some where golden, some where covered in spikes and one looked like it was melting.
Frisk couldn't help but be amazed at what she saw, so amazed in fact that she didn't notice someone sneaking up on her.
" hiya kid, " said a deep voice behind her.
The human nearly jumped into some armor, she turned around a saw a smiling skeleton in a blue hoodie.
"sans!? Is that you?" frisk asked.
Sans shrugged, " yep its me kid, tibia-honest I thought you forgot about me. But that's okay I got really thick skin,"
Frisk felt her lips from into a smile as he made, surprisingly clever puns. She tried not to smile, but sans already had started another wave of puns.
" right, here's a skeleTON of puns that are sure to rattle your bones. Let me tall ya, I felt like I had a femur dream working on these. Worked right to the carpals, and that isn't a fibula. What? You don't think these puns are humerus? Come on grow a spine, nah, don't worry, I'm just ribbing, don't give me that sternum look."
Now frisk couldn't help but laugh, so many puns in one breath that she couldn't stand right, she had to use a suit of armor for support.
" hey human you oaky?" Sam said walking from behind some armor, wearing leather armor and a curved sword was behind her back. Than she noticed sans, " oh, I mean…"
Sans waved airily, " don't worry Sam, I know all about frisk here."
"oh, in that case. Frisk I have your armor in that fitting room, go and change into it," she said pointing at one of the doors in the back.
"why do I need armor? I mean drake said this cloak was magical. So all I need is a weapon" she said.
"drake said that the cloak was magical?" sans asked looking at the cloak with curiosity.
"magically stupid, get in there and try on the armor." Sam said pushing frisk towards the changing room. " don't worry about your weapon, I'll find it for you."
"take your time kid, I'll humor Sam with more skelePUNS,"
"don't you dare!" Sam said, glaring daggers at him.
Frisk grinned as she went into the changing room and closing the door behind her, three pairs of armor were laid out and each had a note on it. One was a chain shirt( the note read, good for nimble warriors), leather( note read, balance, good for all warriors) and plate( only worn by tough warriors, not weak humans). She choose the leather one and don it on.
After a few minutes of fussing with the straps, she left the room where she saw Sam chasing sans with her sword, with bloodlust in her eyes.
"I said no more skeleton puns!" she yelled. Slashing her sword,
Sans easily dodged it, the sword had got stuck on a wooden table. Making Sam more infuriated at the small skeleton. As she tried to pull the sword out of the table, sans had noticed frisk standing there.
"oh, hey kid. Don't mind Sam she is having a bad time, but never mind that," he said waving his arm airily, " here is the weapon that drake had ordered for you."
He reached over towards a table that held several daggers, shortswords and what looked like miniature crossbows, he took one of them and handed it to her.
" here you go kid, one hand crossbow ready to go." He said.
She took the hand crossbow and looked a it, she didn't really know what to do with his. other than the obvious using it to kill enemies from far away.
" that wimpy thing? That couldn't stop anything," Sam said still trying to tug the sword out, " come on you stupid sword, get out."
Sans shrugged before Turing back to frisk, " don't worry about the bolts, which is the ammo for the hand crossbow. Drake already bought them, so… see ya."
Sans walked away, leaving frisk with a new weapon and watching a angery sam trying to pulled the sword free.
"oh yeah," sans said as he snapped his fingers.
At that moment Sam sword came free, nearly causing her to fall back. She had a grin on her face, she sheathed the sword back onto her back and turned towards frisk. She gave one look at the small crossbow. Shaking her head.
" I don't know what drake was thinking," she said.
" what was I thinking," drake's voice said behind them.
They both turned around, Drake was wearing a black leather vest that had vials filled with different color liquid strapped across his chest, black leather pants, with a small bag of rolled up paper on his side and he had a black hood on, which still hid his face but still his glowing purple eyes shined though the blackness.
Frisk didn't now what to say, he looked more like a human than anything. If only she could look at his face, to see what makes him different from the humans an the surface. But she couldn't say anything as Sam started to talk.
" wow, you look…awesome almost like something from an anime my sister talks about." Sam said.
" thanks, any way. The wagon is already to go," drake said before walking back out.
" okay, come on human. Lets go," Sam said once again, grabbing frisk's arm again and running out.
Hey everybody am not dead, yet. I finally had the nerve to write this story again, and to those who like my story…awesome, and I've been reading other story's that are really good and somehow way better than mine… oh well.
Whelp see ya later fellow souls of the under world.
