Her eyes now red from all the crying opened to a yellow star. She stared at the star for a moment before touching the star. Her eyes shone as she felt something familiar. Determination. It coursed through her little veins making her feel… something she can't describe. "The shadows of the Ruins loom above you, filling you with DETERMINATION. HP fully restored." the star read with a save and return. She saved her progress and followed Toriel, not letting go of her new mother's large hands. She simply would not leave Toriel's side.
Toriel chuckled to herself as she showed Isabel a simple puzzle. Isabel followed Toriel's every step. Toriel explained the puzzles and how to "fight" enemies. Isabel was happy to hear that she did not have to actually fight any monster.
She chatted with the dummy before obediently following Toriel everywhere. She even watched Toriel scare away a little frog that she bumped into. To put it simply, Isabel was pleased beyond belief. Her shiny green emeralds glistened as she was guided through the wonders of the ruins.
Toriel had released Isabel's small hand and looked down at the young child. "I would like you to walk to the end of this room by yourself," Toriel said as she disappeared leaving poor little Isabel alone. Isabel's small green gems became pearls as she ran as fast as she could to the end of the room. "Mama! Mama!" She cried out as she continued to run. The echo of her little feet rang through the hollow hallway as she became desperate. "Mama! Mama!" She cried again as she made it to the end of the room. Toriel came out from her hiding spot and comforted the child. Isabel clung onto the goat and refused to let go. "Don't leave me. Don't leave me like that again. That was scary." Isabel hiccuped out as Toriel comforted her and soothed the crying child.
Isabel gasped for air as her pearls filled with large crystals that simply melted the moment they left. Toriel calmed the child down. "There there my child. It is alright. I will care for you. I would never abandon such a young helpless child." Toriel said as Isabel hugged her as tight as her little arms could go. Toriel simply smiles and waits for Isabel to stop her tears. "My child, I have to leave you for a time. I promise to come back and get you." Toriel said as he looked into Isabel's green pearls. Isabel looked back at Toriel's warm brownish-red rubies. With a sniffle, she wiped away the melted crystals from the jewels she called eyes. "Before I go. Which do you prefer? Butterscotch or Cinnamon?" Toriel asked.
"I like both. They taste really yummy." Isabel replied. "So no allergies then?" Toriel asked. "Yes, no allergies," Isabel said as she sat down.
"Alright then. I'll be back then my child. Stay here while I am gone." Toriel said as she left the room which left little Isabel alone. Isabel started to think about everything. She smiled at the doll. "Don't worry Ann. We will never be near the bad people again. They would never follow us here. This place is really safe." Isabel said as she heard her stomach growl.
She started to giggle at herself. "We should look for food. Mama might take a long time." Isabel said to her toy as she tucked it under her arm and started to walk out of the room and into the next.
She saw a frog that looked familiar. It left out a croak and she smiled at its little croaking. "Ribbit ribbit!" Isabel chirped out as she tried to hold a conversation. She looked to her side and saw an opening. "Let's go in there," Isabel said as she said happily as she ran into the room. In the small room, there was candy. "Take one please." A sign said as Isabel eyed the bowl. She took one and left the room. She popped the little candy into her watering mouth and she smiled. "Yummy~ This candy is yummy~" She said happily as she ate the monster candy. She looked at the leaf pile that was in a neat little pile. She saw another glowing star and walked over to it.
Her bare feet felt the leaves crinkle below her. The sound amused her little ears and she started to play like the child she is.
Tossing the leaves and kicking them ever so slightly. Her laughter filled the echoing room before she stopped and saved. She felt something other than Determination. She felt Hope. Hope was something she almost forgot about. "Let's go back." She said as she saved her progress and simply went back into the room. As she walked back into the room a small Whimsun appeared. "Hi~" she said happily as the little creature flew away.
With a slight pout, she went into the room and sat down and waited until Toriel came back.
Isabel belongs to me
Toriel and Whimsun belong to Toby Fox
