In the mountain Mt. Ebbot inside the Underground the sun shines brightly on a flower bed a sound is not heard.

Suddenly the silence is broken as a human screamed falling down the mountain and landed onto the flowerbed. The human got up surprised that he survived the fall.

The human got up and brushes the dust of his clothes saying to himself "Bloody hell that could have been a lot worse! Now... where am I?"

The human wears a long black coat with many straps outlined in grey along with black walking trousers, grey walking boots and a grey fleece.

The human has long brown hair that extends to his back as well as bright hazel eyes. The human's features are hard to distinguish as a male or female since the human has a high-pitched voice, however the human is in fact a male.

The human walks around going through gigantic doors with a white crest. The human carries a large backpack with survival kit and camping gear as well as a bow and arrow, so he can protect himself with.

The human then finds a small field of grass and finds a person humming to herself. The person has a soothing voice as the human is somewhat enticed to her voice, but he kept his bow close just in case.

The Human went up to her stating "Hello there can you-"

She immediately turned around she gasps in shock.

The human could not believe what he saw either, she has goat like features and deep crimson eyes. The human looking at the goat like humanoid as she looks back as their eyes never left either one's gaze.

The goat like humanoid takes a step back as she blurts out "A human?!"

The human apologises "Sorry I didn't mean to startle you, my name is Krotos. What about you miss?"

Krotos extends his hand to her offering a handshake, she smiled and shook Krotos' hand replying "Toriel, caretaker of the Ruins. Nice to meet you Krotos."

Krotos stated back "Nice to meet you too Toriel but do you mind I ask a question?"

Toriel mentions "You can ask me anything deary."

Krotos questions "Can you please tell me where we are?"

Toriel answers "We are in the Ruins of the Underground, although it appears quite big at first, it gets smaller once you are used to your surroundings. I never thought I was going to see a human adult again."

Krotos interjects "Young adult since I am still eighteen years old, but I wouldn't dare to ask your age."

Toriel laughs "Gosh I can't even remember my own age; it's been so long ago. Do you mind me also asking a question Krotos?"

Krotos replied "Ask away."

Toriel asks "Are you a boy or are you a girl?"

Krotos was a bit surprised at the question but then honestly gave his answer "I'm a male but since my voice never cracked people couldn't tell whether I'm a man or a woman due to my voice pitch being so high."

Toriel apologised to Krotos, but he replies that he is used to it.

Toriel questioned "Would you like me to show you around the Ruins young one?"

Krotos answers "If you wouldn't mind that would be great."

Toriel walks on as Krotos follows. Toriel guided Krotos through the Ruins showing him how to solve the various puzzles that are placed in the Ruins. Krotos with the help of Toriel solves many puzzles with her as they walk down purple floors and purple walls.
