As I go through the doors there's snow as far as the eye can see. It's cold! I look through my bag and put on my leather jacket. It's not much but it's something. I'm wearing black jeans but they have rips down the legs along with a regular black T-shirt, but thank the Gods that I have my boots on. The snow touches the burn on my cheek and it feels sort of soothing. I decide to put on my ear phone and listen to music while walking down the path. Walking slowly I silently sing to myself.

I cut you into pieces. Searching for your imperfections. I had plans to make you whole, but all my threads couldn't stop the bleeding. There's nothing left, but I'm not leaving when all I know is you. I've been looking for a way to bring you back to life, and if I could find a way I would bring you back tonight. I'd make you look, I'd make you lie. I'd take the coldness from your eyes. But you told me, if you love me let it die.

Your eyes stare right through me. Ignore my failed attempts to breathe life into your veins. But I can't stop your cold heart beating. You're so far gone, but I'm not leaving when all I know is you. I've been looking for a way to bring you back tonight. And if I could find a way I would bring you back tonight. I'd make you look, I'd make you lie. I'd take the coldness from your eyes. But you told me, if you love me let it die.

And you left me more dead than you'll ever know…When you left me alone.

I've been looking for a way to bring you back to life. And if I could find a way I would bring you back tonight. I'd make you look, I'd make you lie. I'd take the coldness from your eyes. But you told me if you love me, let it die.

I keep walking while humming and come across a rather large branch on the ground. I just step over it and continue walking until I hear a loud SNAP from behind me. I pause my music, take out my earphones and turn swiftly. I look and the branch is snapped. What the hell? I put my music away it also feels like someone is watching me so I continue walking but I keep aware of my surroundings looking around frantically. I see a bridge with bars…Is that supposed to be a gate of some sort? The bars look pretty far apart. Taking a step forward I hear the snow crunching, someone is walking behind me. I feel a chill go down my spine and I freeze.

This thing that's coming behind me is getting closer and closer but I'm too scared to look back or even run. I'm frozen in place. As soon as this creature gets close enough I hear a low voice. "Human…don't you know how to greet a new pal?" Pal? What…? I swallow hard and turn and it's a skeleton about my height but a little taller. He had white glowing pinpricks in his eye sockets and a dimpled smile. He wore a blue hoodie, a white shirt, basketball shorts, socks and slippers? He had his hand out as if to shake it and I just grab his hand and the moment I do I hear a loud farting noise. The skeleton starts to laugh as I am baffled by this. "The old whoopee cushion in the hand trick. It never gets old!"

I look at him, my lip quivering to keep myself from laughing. He winks "Come on its funny!" Then a smile appears from the corner of my mouth. He exclaims "There it is!" I look at the side and take a deep breath to calm myself. He looks at me, "Trying to keep it in huh? I'll get you laughing soon. By the way I'm Sans the Skeleton. What's your name?" I shift my eyes toward him and answer, "Rin." He raises a browbone. A skeleton that can make facial expressions? I shouldn't even be surprised, this is a world of monsters. "Rin, huh interesting, not as sans-sational as mine…So you're a human right?" I turn my head and nod. "I'm supposed to be on the lookout for humans but I don't really care." He says. I raise an eyebrow in question but he continues. "Now my brother Papyrus is a human hunting fanatic! Even though he's never really seen a human before, come with me." He takes my hand and we walk over the bridge, his hand is surprisingly warm.

After we cross the bridge he looks "Ah there he is now, quick hide behind this lamp!" he motions. I just do as I'm told. Papyrus comes. He is very tall about 7 feet! He wore armor adorned with a red scarf, red gloves and boots. Sans smiles "Sup bro?" Papyrus answers "YOU KNOW WHAT 'SUP' BROTHER! IT'S BEEN 8 DAYS AND YOU STILL HAVEN'T RE CALIBRATED. YOUR. PUZZLES! YOU JUST HANG AROUND OUTSIDE YOUR STATION! WHAT ARE YOU EVEN DOING?!" Sans answered, "Staring at this lamp. It's really cool. Do you wanna look?" THIS LITTLE SHIT! IS HE TRYING TO GIVE ME AWAY?! Papyrus looks annoyed and stomps his foot like a child. "NO! I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THAT! WHAT IF A HUMAN COMES THROUGH HERE?! I WANT TO BE READY! I WILL BE THE ONE! I MUST BE THE ONE! I WILL CAPTURE A HUMAN! THEN, I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS…WILL GET ALL THE THINGS I UTTERLY DESERVE!" Standing heroically it's quite adorable actually. He continues. "RESPECT…RECOGNITION…I WILL FINALLY BE ABLE TO JOIN THE ROYAL GUARD! PEOPLE WILL ASK, TO, BE, MY, 'FRIEND'? I WILL BATHE IN A SHOWER OF KISSES EVERY MORNING." Wow he's like a little kid. Sans looks, "Hmm…maybe this lamp will help you." WHAT THE FUCK DUDE?!

Papyrus shouts, "SANS! YOU ARE NOT HELPING! YOU LAZYBONES! ALL YOU DO IS SIT AND BOONDOGGLE! YOU GET LAZIER AND LAZIER EVERYDAY!" WTF is boondoggle…? Sans says in quick defense "Hey, take it easy. I've gotten a ton of work today. A skele-ton." Oh my God that was terrible… I cover my mouth to keep myself from laughing. Bad puns get to me. Papyrus shouts "SANS!" To which he answers, "Come on, you're smiling." He gives a big grin. "I AM AND I HATE IT! He shouts loudly then sighs. "WHY DOES SOMEONE AS GREAT AS ME…HAVE TO DO SO MUCH JUST TO GET SOME RECOGNITION…" He sounds a little disappointed. Sans quickly answers, "Wow sounds like you're really working yourself…down to the bone." He laughs at his own joke while I'm trying to keep as quiet as possible. Papyrus makes a noise in disgust then retorts, "I WILL ATTEND TO MY PUZZLES…AS FOR YOUR WORK? PUT A LITTLE MORE 'BACKBONE' INTO IT!" He then goes on his way laughing at his own joke.

After he leaves, Sans motions, "Okay, you can come out now." I slowly walk out of my hiding place trying to collect myself from those awful puns. He turns to me and says, "You oughta keep going, he may come back and if he does…" He winks "You have to sit through more of my hilarious jokes." I felt a weird sensation in my chest after that. I just nod my head and walk ahead until he stops me. "Actually, hey…hate to bother ya, but can you do me a favor?" I tilt my head in question. "Depends on the favor…" He answers, "I was thinking, my brother's been kinda down lately…he's never seen a human before and seeing you might make his day." I look at him with serious question. He looks at me and says, "Don't worry, he's not dangerous, even if he tries to be." Before I even get to answer he continues "Thanks a million, I'll be up ahead." And with that, he walks off.

I don't mind this but it's odd. Were they planning something? Feeling determined, I continue on. I walk on and see two ways. I take the path to the left rather than straight. I see a fishing line, I reel it in and see a paper that says call me and there's a number. Weirded out I decide not to and send the line back in. I go back down then go to the path that was straight ahead and I walking into Sans and Papyrus talking til they see me.

They look at each other then back at me several times then Papyrus exclaims but talking to Sans, "SANS! OH MY GOD IS THAT…A HUMAN?!" Sans looks behind me, "Uhhhh, actually I think that's a rock." "OH." Papyrus said. Then Sans shoots up, "hey, what's that in front of the rock?" Papyrus gets excited, "OH MY GOD! IS…IS THAT A HUMAN?" "Yes." "OH MY GOD! SANS I FINALLY DID IT! UNDYNE WILL…I'M GONNA…I'LL BE SO…POPULAR! POPULAR! POPULAR!" He clears his throat. "HUMAN! YOU SHALL NOT PASS THIS AREA! I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, WILL STOP YOU! I WILL THEN CAPTURE YOU! YOU WILL BE DELIVERED TO THE CAPITAL! THEN! THEN…" He looks to the side. "I'M NOT SO SURE WHAT'S NEXT. IN ANY CASE! CONTINUE ONLY IF YOU DARE!" He laughs again while running off. This guy is seriously adorable I can't take him seriously at all.

I still see Sans just standing there so I approach him. He looks at me surprised. "Well, that went well. Don't sweat it, kid. I'll keep an eye socket out for ya." He winks at me again and walks off. "Thanks…" I said softly. Funny he calls me kid when I'm 18… That weird feeling in my chest shows up again, I can't explain it, it tingles and I feel myself shutter. I just continue on, ignoring the feeling. I keep walking and I encounter another monster called Ice Cap. He seemed to have a real big ego when I decided to compliment his hat so I just ignored him and went on my way. He left me alone after ignoring him.

Then another monster shows up this time it's called Snowdrake an odd looking bird creature. I look at him and he says "Ice to meet you." I end up chuckling at his little pun and he gets excited. Give me money and goes on his way. Well then, at least I have some money. I come across a cardboard box with a note that reads "YOU OBSERVE THE WELL CRAFTED SENTRY STATION. WHO COULD HAVE BUILT THIS, YOU PONDER…I BET IT WAS THAT VEY FAMOUS ROYAL GUARDSMAN! (NOTE: NOT YET A VERY FAMOUS ROYAL GUARDSMAN.)" This had to be Papyrus. I chuckle and keep walking. I see another station. Feeling determined, I walk by it then a dog comes up from it with shifty eyes. "Did something move? Was it my imagination? I can only see moving things. If something WAS moving…for example, a human…I'll NEVER make sure it moves again!" The dog named Doggo attacks. A blue knife comes straight for me. Not thinking, I try to move out of the way and I was struck by his weapons. I screamed, the pain was so intense. My visions blurs then it fades and all I see is darkness.

I'm surrounded by darkness and I hear a voice. It says, "Don't give up! Stay determined!" I look behind me to see a kid about 13. They wore a green and yellow striped shirt, blue pants and black shoes, they had cute short brown hair, and I noticed their eyes were red. Peculiar but who am I to talk? I have yellow eyes…The kid just looks at me and smiles. I feel myself being pulled up in the air. I look to see the kid and all I hear is them say "Don't move when attacks are blue!" That voice…it was the same as the one telling me to stay determined. Before I could say anything, I was in front of that station again.

Didn't I die? Trying to catch my breath I touch my chest, there's nothing- not even a rip on my shirt. I think back and I remember what Flowey said about dying over and over again. Is this what he meant? I think about what that kid said about the blue attack. I try to shake the thoughts but that one stayed in my head. I take a deep breath and walk by it again. Doggo comes up again and everything repeats. What's going on? He attacks again with the blue knife I stay still as the kid told me. It whips right through me but it doesn't hurt. Watching the dog I decide to take a risky move. I pet it.

One pat on Doggo's head and he freaks. "I've been pet! Pet? Pot? Pat?" I pet him one more time and stop. He stops and shifts his eyes side to side. "S-s-something pet me! Something that WASN'T here…I'm gonna need some dog treats for this." The dog goes back into his station. Thank the Gods for that. I can't believe I died…Who was that kid…? So many thoughts in my head as I keep walking then I hear a voice, it's Sans. "Hey, here's something important to remember. My brother has a very special attack. If you see a blue attack, don't move and it won't hurt you." I stare at him, nod and walked off. I can feel his eyes on me which makes my hair stand on end. I go left again and see a snowman. It talks to me and asks if I can take a piece of it and travel. I accept and take a piece then proceed to put it away. I leave and continue on to the next area.

I walk into Papyrus yelling at Sans all I caught was that he's so lazy and he was napping all night. "I think that's called sleeping" Sans remarked. "EXCUSES, EXCUSES!" They turn and see me again. "OH-HO! THE HUMAN ARRIVES! IN ORDER TO STOP YOU…MY BROTHER AND I HAVE CREATED SOME PUZZLES! I THINK YOU WILL FIND THIS ONE…QUITE SHOCKING! FOR YOU SEE, THIS IS THIS IS THE INVISIBLE ELECTRICITY MAZE! WHEN YOU TOUCH THE WALLS OF THIS MAZE, THIS ORB WILL ADMINISTER A HEARTY ZAP! SOUND LIKE FUN? BECAUSE! THE AMOUNT OF FUN YOU'LL PROBABLY HAVE, IS ACTUALLY RATHER SMALL I THINK. OK, YOU CAN GO AHEAD NOW."

I take a step forward and Papyrus is the one who's zapped. Ouchies… that must've hurt. He quickly gets upset and starts stomping his foot. "SANS! WHAT DID YOU DO?!" Sans smiles and says "I think the human has to hold the orb." "OH, OKAY' He walks over to me CLEARLY showing me the path and puts the orb in my hands. Telling me to hold it. Then walks back and tells me to go. I just follow the path and he seems amazed. He's too adorable for his own good. He comments how I solved it easily then proceeds to tell me the next one won't be so easy because it's been designed by his brother and walks off. Sans just stands there he seems amused. I walk by him and he stops me, "Hey, thanks…my brother seems like he's having fun." Then he tells me about his outfit how they made that for a costume party, saying Papyrus calls it his 'battle body' and how he hasn't worn anything else ever since but reassuring me he cleans it. Then he says, "Man, isn't my brother cool?" I give a little smile and go on. I see a bunny guy who looks down. He's selling something called nice cream. I decide to buy some and I eat one while walking, it doesn't taste bad at all.

I see Sans again…which makes me wonder. How did he get here before me? He sees me eating the frozen treat and mentions how he would like to sell treats himself and offering me fried snow so I accept and then he ups the price more and more and then says he doesn't have any snow. I continue down and I feel determined to get by. I see the brothers again and Papyrus telling me how I won't get by so easily. I just see a paper on the floor… I pick it up and it's a word search…I frown but I decide to actually sit down and go through with it, completing it within 5 minutes. Papyrus just stares and shouts "SANS! THAT DID NOTHING!" Then he says how he should've used a crossword instead. Papyrus scoffs and says junior jumble is harder, Sans disagrees saying it's for 'baby bones'. Papyrus turns to me to end this dispute. I just go with jumble and his face lit up, saying how humans are intelligent and walks off. Sans thanks me for saying junior jumble. Then comments how Papyrus was trying to 'solve the horoscope'. I chuckle and walk off.

I see a plate of spaghetti, it looks good but it's stuck to the table! I see a note Papyrus left that reads, "HUMAN! PLEASE ENJOY THIS SPAGHETTI. (LITTLE DO YOU KNOW, THIS SPAGHETTI IS A TRAP…DESIGNED TO ENTICE YOU! YOU'LL BE SO BUSY EATING IT, THAT YOU WON'T REALIZE YOU ARENT PROGRESSING!) THORUGHLY JAPED AGAIN BY THE GREAT PAPYRUS! NYEH HEH HEH! –PAPYRUS" It does look appetizing but I can't eat it…I love pasta too.

I get attacked by another dog but I decide to pet it and the dog's neck grew longer! Curiosity piked and I kept petting and his neck got longer and longer til I could no longer reach. I leave the dog be after that. In the next area, I see two big dogs holding axes covered in black cloaks and they sniff me only to end up growling and attacking me. It was a female and male and they looked like they were in love. They were dangerous. I decided to try and pet them and they allowed me. They attacked a couple time and I luckily got out of the way. They finally left me alone and I thought I was a goner. I keep going through bullshit and it's starting to become too much for me.

I just keep going…Hoping it'll end soon. I'm tired and my legs hurt quite a bit and I don't want to stay in this cold any longer. I see Papyrus and he asks if I left him any. Assuming he's talking about the spaghetti I lied telling him I ate it. I don't want to hurt his feelings, he's actually really sweet. He was surprised and vowed to make more. Then he ran off again. I solved some puzzles that were obstacles to me. There was another one and Papyrus offered to help if needed. I solved it, took a bit of thinking but I managed. He was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed the fact that I solved it. And he walked off. I solved another puzzle with tiles which led to the machine breaking then I went on my way seeing Sans again. We exchanged a few words and I was off again. Then I took decorations off a Gyftrot.

I solve another puzzle and I look at snow poffs. To my surprise one of em had money in it. I took the money. I felt like I was getting close to the end of this snowy forest. Feeling determined, I push on. I check the last one which then a dog in enormous armor and a giant spear appeared. I just want this to end. The dog attacks. I call out to the dog and it leaves the armor to lay on my lap. I decided to pet the dog since that's always been going right for a while. The dog jumps out of its armor, curls up in my lap and sleeps. How the Hell can a little thing like that control such big armor? After petting and playing with the dog it licks me and leaves. This place is getting weirder and weirder…

I start to cross a huge bridge and midway I see the skeleton brothers again. Papyrus tells me this is my final and most dangerous challenge. "BEHOLD THE GAUNTLET OF DEADLY TERROR!" He says proudly and showing the weapons. I see spears, a canon, a flamethrower and…a dog? Lost in confusion I hear Papyrus, "WHEN I SAY THE WORD, IT WILL FULLY ACTIVATE! CANONS WILL FIRE! SPIKES WILL SWING! BLADES WILL SLICE!" Explaining how this works. I get lost in thought thinking if it will work as opposed to the tiles. Then I hear him asking if I'm ready which snaps me out of my thought. "Huh?" I think loudly. "I! AM! ABOUT! TO DO IT!" He answers. Aw Shit ugh…But there's a long wait? I feel skeptical now. Sans looks at his brother, "Well, what's the holdup?" Papyrus gets frustrated shouting he's about to activate it. Still nothing happens…"That, uh, doesn't look very activated." Sans remarks. Then Papyrus says how this is too direct and puts it away. Well that's a relief. I just stare with a questioning expression. Papyrus is annoyed and shouts "WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?!" I chuckle at his question. Once again, he runs off.

I notice how Sans always stays as his brother leaves. He tells me he doesn't know what his brother is going to do next. Then he looks at me from the corner of his eye. "If I were you, I would make sure I understand blue attacks." I can't tell if he's trying to help me or not. I feel odd when I'm around him, a little intimidated in a way. I go on my way and I reach a little town called Snowdin.
