>|His Red Eyes & Golden Tooth|<

Chapter 2 <A humble welcome>

<~Word count: 3425~>

You've been walking for a bit once again, but not even two seconds later you could see the tall skeleton with his hands on his hipbones. You couldn't see Sans anywhere near but you didn't care, one less pair of eyes watching you.

You walked up to Papyrus as he seemed very happy,

"So uh papyrus right? What's this puzzle that you've amazingly made" you tried to appeal to his ego in hopes of him being a little more merciful, but it's gonna take more than one compliment to get him to give you mercy. You heard him chuckle next to you,

"AH YES, HUMAN THIS PUZZLE REQUIRES YOU TO BE VERY OBSERVANT! IN FRONT IF YOU IS A MAZE ON THE GROUND. IF YOU STEP OFF OF THE CORRECT TRAIL, SPIKES WILL TEAR OUT YOUR INSIDES! THEN I CAN TAKE YOUR SOUL TO UNDYNE!"

"I thought you said Asgore?"

"AHAH I SEE YOU ARE OBSERVANT! IN ORDER TO REACH ASGORE I HAVE TO GET THROUGH UNDYNE MY BOSS!" He kept a proud stance as before,

"Ohhh alright. Well where do I start on the "right path"" you asked,

"RRRIGHT HERE" Papyrus pointed to a spot on the ground. You stood there and nothing happened. Which worked out for you. However your problem was figuring out where to go,

"Can I use anything I have to beat this puzzle?" You looked at Papyrus,

"NOPE! PATHETIC HUMAN, YOU MUST USE YOUR EYES TO SEE AND KNOW WHERE THE RIGHT PATH IS." He crossed his arms. You nodded and studied the ground I front of you carefully. As you studied it you felt another pair of eyes on you,

"Welp. Sans is here somewhere" you mumbled under your breath.

"WHAT WAS THAT?" Papyrus asked,

"OH! Nothing! Just talking to myself!" You replied rubbing your neck and returning to the snow in front of you.

As you looked at it you noticed the very tips of the spikes that were "hidden" in the snow, you could see the right path. You took in a sharp breath and carefully made your way through the "maze". It didn't take you long to reach the end,

"HMM. WELL PLAYED PUNY HUMAN. I MUST GO PREPARE THE SECOND PUZZLE! I SHALL SEE YOU VERY SOON HUMAN!" He waltzed off again. You took a breath of relief as you didn't die and that's all that mattered to you.

You started to walk in the same direction as Papyrus did, Sans didn't cross interfere with you after the first puzzle. It was a relief in itself that he didn't bother you. As tough as you could act- Sans terrified you to an extent. So you knew you just had to press on. Maybe you'd get a crazy amount of luck or something and he would just leave you alone. Although something told you that he wouldn't just let you go that easy.

You rubbed your arms in attempt to keep yourself warm, the cold air was something you'd have to get used to. The snow wasn't helping. You were certain that your feet had a hint of frostbite if anything. You wanted to pass out a couple of times but you couldn't, not in this place.

Eventually you came across a small stand, with a sign that said "Temmie". You walked up to the stand and knocked on the counter. You jumped a little when a cat dog like monster popped up, they wore a red suit with a golden monocle on their left eye, and a dark ish patch of hair on the top of their head,

"ₕₑₗₗₒ! ᵢ'ₘ ₜₑₘₘᵢₑ. Wₒᵤₗd yₒᵤᵤᵤ ₗᵢₖₑ ₜₒ bᵤᵤᵤy ₛₒₘₑₜₕᵢₙg?" It asked,

"I would if I had any money- is there anything that I could maybe have for free..? I'm new around here.." you chuckled nervously,
