the cowardly brother

chapter 2

Feeling a cold rush flow through your body your body you look around to see where you are. A vast field of nothing but snow and trees lies infront of you. The cold rushing through your body makes you start to regret your decision a bit. But no you cant give up yet you have a brother to save.

Walking forward you start to reflect on your journey so far. What are you supposed to do the next time you encounter a monster? Sure Toriel and flowey were nice but what if the next monster isn't so nice? Sure you have a bat to defend yourself, but you could never bring yourself to hurt another person.

Sighing with your head down you start to think that maybe you'll never find your brother. Maybe all your doing is proving to everyone that your just the failure you thought you were.

Walking forward deep in thought you fail to notice the monster right in front of you. Bumping into said monster you stumble back before looking up to see a large man with purple skin and two curved horns.

"Oh hello are you lost"? The purple man said calmly. You on the other hand were not so calm, seeing as how this is the first possible hostile entity. You start to slowly back away hoping he might not attack you. Well you were before to tripped and landed flat on your back.

"Oh are you all right"? The vampire man said as he extended a hand towards you. You stare at the hand of the strange man wondering if you should accept his offer or not.

Hesitantly taking his hand you feel a little reassured after he pulls you too your feet. You stumble backwards a bit before staring at the strange man, not saying a word. The man gives you a curious look, before realizing the reason for you behavior. "Oh your…afraid, I'm sorry about that". Realizing your mistake you quickly try to apologize, but before you could the man Interrupted you. "Oh where are my manners my names dalv what's yours". "Oh it's uh courage" you said as you looked away."I actually used to be quite scared like you until clover helped me move on". Dalv said as he looked a little embarrassed.

Briefly going into a state of shock, you look at the man infront of you. Did he really know your brother? Maybe he could help you find him. Breaking out of your dazed state you ask the question you've had in your mind. "Wait you know my brother, can you help me find him"?

Looking at you the strange man looks a little uncomfortable. "Uh well I can tell you where he is unfortunately I cannot join you for……reasons".

Deciding not to question why he can't come you quickly ask. "That's fine can you just tell me where he is, and maybe how to get to him"? The man looks at you for a moment before saying. "Oh I'm pretty sure by now he's probably made it to the wild east". "The wild east"? You ask. The man thinks for a moment before exclaiming. "Oh um well you could've asked martlet to lend you her boat but I think it's broken". You stare in disbelief, if a local doesn't even know how to get there what chance do you have? Maybe you should've just stayed home like your brother said.

The vampire man thinks for a moment before saying. "Oh you could also ship yourself through the ugps to get there". You turn to look at him confused. "What's the ugps"? "Oh it's the underground postal service, but now they've moved onto becoming a taxi service as well".

Really a taxi service? You thought. Surely this can't get any weirder. "Huh ok then w-well thanks for the advice".

As you start to walk away dalv pipes up one more time. " Oh by the way, the mail carrier tends to rhyme….a lot, so watch out for that". Rhyming, that's a new one. You thought the warning would be of a threat not some weird linguist.

"Uh ok I'll watch out for that, thanks again for everything dalv"! You said as you start to run down the trail hoping to warm up by keeping a good speed.
