Polly's Eternal Adventure (P.E.A)

Segment 0.8 | A Final Road Of Decision In Ruin

I get yet again caught in another decision to choose between two paths. One further ahead of me which looking closely seems to have a Froggit in the room. But of course, I wasn't worried about that, what I was I worried about but for-

Polly: How long does this go one for!?

Mani: Surprisingly, this seems to be the last crossroad, Polly.

Polly: Nice, which one will lead me out of here?

Mani: ... I don't know, he he!

Mani simply throws a piece sign while saying her ridiculous response. I simply shoo her away like a fly and she continues to taunt me. I choose peek over from the corner to my left to see anything. A large tree, a healthy one at that but it has red leaves similar to the ones that are found on the ground when navigating through the RUINS. Since the ceiling isn't that high it doesn't grow any further. Many leaves found sheading on the ground like it's fall or something. I wouldn't know now what season it was on the surface because I don't remember much when I fell. Though, tempted to take that path, I decided not to and chose the path straight ahead from me. Meet one last potentially friend before I leave this place.

Polly: Let's go check this out, Mani.

Mani: Alright captain!

Polly: You and your titles...

I enter the room and see someone familiar... It's Dave! The first Froggit I met when I came here, but how did he get here before I did, I wondered.

Polly: What, how did you get here, Dave?

Mani: Woah, that's cool you can teleport!

Dave: Ribbit... No, ya' moron. I simply took my-Ribbit through that door behind you and rode the shortcut here from the beginning, I was wondering why you weren't takin' the shortcut-Ribbit.

Mani: So, Toriel kept that a secret from us?

Polly: arg! Are you serious!? It took us like forever a not to mention the "friends" I met along that way!

Dave: I'm glad you had fun-Ribbit. The door was located on the right side of the entrance to the RUINS. I'm surpri-Ribbit, you didn't see it.

Polly: That's probably because it was dark and cold! And... Fun?

Mani: I had fun!

Despite the distance and time it took, I guess I could say it was an "experience" for me to go through the battles and know that maybe monsters aren't what they were told to me in class and stories.

Polly: I can't say, I hated it, anyway.

Dave: Ribbit, but just keep what I'm about say between you and me, alright?

Polly: A-alright...

Mani: ooo~ this'll be interesting.

Dave: Right-Ribbit, Not too long ago, I saw Toriel come out of the door behind me-not behind you, with groceries. I didn't ask her what they were for-Ribbit. But I assume it's for you, human. And besides monsters down here are all too intimidated to talk to her. Seeing how she's a Ribbit monster.

Polly: A what monster?

Mani: ...?

Dave: Oh? Looks like it's time for me to leave, Ribbit. See ya'.

Dave begins to start hopping away and I repeat my question again louder as he hops further but it's hopeless as he is already gone.

Mani: I wonder what he was talking about...

Polly: I'm sure we'll find out later. Let's check the room that was behind him.

Mani: Okay!

I enter the room and it's dark-no dim, very dim and lit in a different color more like purple, I walk further and see something mind-blowing...! A Castle! And the buildings behind it, but it looks old and rusted. If you touched it would fall apart, I thought. A fragrance of freshly bought carpets, wood, and maybe even a hint of... Vanilla? I mean, Toriel passed through here so it was probably her. The castle however seemed to at a distance away from me and it's more like balcony where I'm standing on to see this view, If I named it, "The RUINED city of monster kind." I said out loud. Mani thought it was creative. I looked around the castle and along the skinny left to right balcony until I kicked something it sounded like steel or silverware when you drop it on bare floor. But that's the thing, I wasn't on bare floor but rough, dusty old ground. I looked down and saw and knife...! What's something like that doing here? I picked it up and if felt more like rubber or plastic, and then a text box appeared,
