Entry 8
We enter the next room.
Toriel finishes explaining the aspect of battles down here.
"There are many different monsters throughout the Underground. For example, a Froggit, such as this one."
She waves to the Froggit as we walk.
Suddenly, the world around you fades into black and white, and your SOUL floats out of your body. Your first real battle.
The Froggit waits for you to go first.
[ACT]
*Froggit - ATK 4 DEF 5
*Life is difficult for this enemy
After the words fade, the Froggit proceeds to attack you.
Flies begin to swarm around your SOUL. At first, they seemingly attack in a random formation, but getting the pattern down instantly, you successfully dodge them.
[ACT]
*Compliment
You praise the Froggit on its attacks. It didn't understand what you were saying, but it was flattered, anyway.
You expect Toriel to glare at it, or something, but she continues on, not even noticing that your battle had commenced.
The Froggit attacks, jumping at your SOUL directly, but you immediately move it too high for the Froggit to reach.
It's your turn again, but it seems like the Froggit doesn't want to fight anymore.
[MERCY]
*Spare
The Froggit hops away and color is returned to the world.
You run through the room to catch up with Toriel.
Entry 9
Toriel and I continue.
At last, we reach a house that looks less run-down when compared to the rest of the Ruins.
As Toriel moves inside, I notice another star.
There had been a few back in the Ruins after the first one.
I think one had something to do with a mouse and some cheese.
My hand move around the star in a practiced motion, as if I had done it a thousand times before.
Feelings of warmth and comfort flow into me.
Seeing such a cute, tidy house in the Ruins gives me Determination.
