Frisk walked down the path past the turtle monster's shop and walked past a row of waterfalls as signs explained why the Monsters were trapped underground in the first place.
"Hurt, beaten, and fearful for our lives we surrendered to the Humans. Seven of their greatest magicians sealed us underground with a magic spell. Anything can enter through the seal, but only beings with an incredibly powerful SOUL can leave."
"There is only one way to reverse this spell. If a huge power, equivalent to seven to seven human SOULS attacks the barrier…It will be destroyed."
"And I'm going to be the seventh, when I see King Asgore and give him my SOUL everyone will be free." Frisk smiled as she continued along the path before reaching a small path made of grass that led to a mushroom before hesitantly touching it as it started glowing revealing more of the path forward. "Oh, so that's what he meant by the mushrooms light up the way I'm supposed to go."
Frisk could only smile gently as she continued along the path gently brushing her hand along the mushrooms as she progressed only to suddenly reach a dead end causing her to turn only to see a small dog with black hair wearing a blue shirt.
"HOI, I'm Temmie." the dog said happily. "Are you Hooman?"
"Um… yes, I'm a human Temmie." Frisk answered. "Actually, I was…"
"Hooman!" Temmie cried excitedly. "Tem pet coot human."
As the Temmie said that it's front paw began to stretch towards Frisk only for her to cautiously move away from it.
"I'm sorry Temmie, but I need to see the king, and I think…" Frisk started before sneezing. "I think I'm allergic to you."
The Temmie looked at Frisk in confusion before nodding. 'K, you come Tem Village."
With that the Temmie ran off leaving Frisk alone again.
"Temmie did look really cute, and if I'm going to give up my SOUl anyway… I guess I could say hi for a little while." Frisk said to herself before turning back only to hear voices coming from a path she couldn't see as she hesitantly walked down the path before arriving at a village full of Temmies.
"HOI!" the Temmies all said together.
"This Tem Village." one of the Temmies explained before pointing at a painting on the wall showing a dragon and a Temmie. "Look, deep history of Tem."
Frisk looked at the picture before smiling. "I see, very interesting."
"Yeah, it is interesting right." another Temmie smiled.
"Huh, um… who are you?" Frisk asked before pausing. "Or are you named Temmie too?"
"I'm Bob." Bob the Temmie answered. "Who are you?"
"My name's Frisk, but actually… I can't stay for too long." Frisk apologized. "I have to go see the king."
"The king, why?" Bob the Temmie asked curiously.
"I'm the last one, the seventh human SOUL that you need to be free." Frisk explained. "I'm going to give it to him."
The Temmies all stared at Frisk in shock before whispering to each other as Bob walked up to her.
"You… you're serious, aren't you?" Bob the Temmie asked. "You're going to give up your SOUL?"
Frisk just nodded sadly. "I just have to reach the king."
All of the Temmies looked at Frisk uncertainly before one of them turned. "Before leave, visit Tem Shop?"
Frisk looked at the Temmies before nodding. "Alright, I can do that."
The Temmies all nodded quietly as Frisk walked into the small store where another Temmie was sitting.
"Hoi, welcome to Tem Shop." the Temmie said uncertainly.
Frisk frowned seeing that before looking around. "Um… what do you have for sale?"
"Tem has Tem Flakes." the Temmie answered. "Would have more, but no afford Coo leg."
"I don't know if I have enough for that." Frisk admitted quietly. "I'm sorry."
The Temmie shopkeeper just nodded sadly. "Hooman, thank you."
Frisk nodded before turning and quietly leaving the shop.

"don't worry your majesty, we'll catch up with Frisk before she reaches Undyne." Sans mentioned. "call it a hunch, but I think she might be slowing down a little."
"WELL OF COURSE SHE WOULD BE SANS, CONSIDERING WHAT SHE'S PLANNING ON DOING." Papyrus pointed out only to look down. "WE JUST NEED TO FIND UNDYNE AND CONVINCE HER TO GIVE FRISK A CHANCE, SHE…"
"Papyrus, Sans, your majesty?" inquired a voice from behind them as they turned to see Undyne. "What's going on?"
"Undyne, I know how you feel about humans… and I know that we just need one more SOUL in order to break the barrier but…" Toriel started before looking down. "Please don't kill Frisk."
"I already told you, I'll let her travel through Waterfall but when she reaches the end I'm going to fi…" Undyne started only for Sans to shake his head.
"look, it might not mean much coming from me, but the kid's different Undyne." Sans interjected. "look getting the seventh human SOUL and breaking the barrier… being able to see the surface and finally being free means as much to us as it does to you or any other monster, but you've been watching her, haven't you?"
Undyne frowned hearing that before nodding. "Yeah, I've been keeping an eye on her and you're right. She doesn't even have it in her to fight against the monsters that try to take her SOUL. She just tries to explain who she is and what she's doing."
"EXACTLY, I KNOW YOU WANT TO FREE ALL OF US UNDYNE BUT IS IT REALLY RIGHT TO KILL A POOR INNOCENT CHILD WHO'S TRAPPED DOWN HERE JUST LIKE WE ARE?" Papyrus inquired. "WHAT SHE NEEDS ISN'T AN ENEMY, SHE NEEDS FRIENDS WHO WILL BE THERE WHEN SHE GOES TO MEET THE KING."
Undyne looked down as Papyrus said that before looking at them. "Then what are you asking? For me to be friends with them? They're the last…"
"We can't force you to befriend Frisk Undyne, but please… give her a chance. She's already planning to give up her SOUL, she needs to know that she has friends who will be with her when she needs them." Toriel explained as Undyne looked at her before closing her eye.
"Alright… I'll do it." Undyne agreed quietly.
(Frisk has encountered a village full of monsters named Temmie, but is already leaving in order to reach King Asgore, and Undyne has relented to give Frisk a chance and to not kill her. Next chapter Frisk will reach the end of Waterfall. As always any reviews or critique is appreciated.)
