You and your parents went hiking. You never really liked them. They didn't appreciate you, and they always seemed to point out all of your mistakes. You were sick of it, so you ran away from them. They made one careless mistake of turning their backs, and you were gone. Not much of an issue though.
EXCEPT for the fact that you exist, and you had to go somewhere. You're so damn heroic, you fall off a fucking cliff. Nice moves. You did good, child. You did good.
And, of course, you also had to lose consiousness. How great. People have weird dreams though.
Long ago, two races ruled Earth: HUMANS and MONSTERS.
One day, war broke out between the two races. After a long battle, the humans were victorious. They sealed the monsters underground with a magical spell.
Many years later...
MT. EBOTT 201X
Legends say that those who climb the mountain never return...
You woke up with a start. Where the hell where you...? On a patch of happy yellow flowers at the bottom of the most bottomless pit with no food or water or shelter, and very little light? You knew it already: you are going to die here.
You turn left, and begin walking down a sort of hallway from what you can tell. There is a doorway, so clearly, you walk in it. On the other side is another painfully cheerful creature, a single golden-yellow flower.
* Howdy!
* I'm FLOWEY.
* FLOWEY the FLOWER!
Did that flower just speak to you? You must've hit my head from that fall...
* Hmmm...
* You're new to the UNDERGROUND, aren'tcha?
No, Flowey, this is your first time down here in hell.
* Golly, you must be so confused.
Really now, you didn't notice.
* Someone ought to teach you how things work around here!
Hmm... Who would EVER be so kind...
* I guess little old me will have to do.
Dammit, Flowey gives you the creeps.
* Ready?
* Here we go!
WOAHOLYSHIT, YOU'RE A RED GLOWING HEART NOW! This is pretty cool...
"See that heart? That is your SOUL, the very culmination of your being!"
That's nice.
"Your SOUL starts off weak, but can grow strong if you gain a lot of LV."
...Eh?
"What's LV stand for? Why, LOVE, of course! You want some LOVE, don't you?"
N-
"Don't worry, I'll share some with you! Down here, LOVE is shared through..."
He made a face, and then a speck of white popped out of one of his petals. And you still refuse to listen.
"Little white... 'friendliness pellets.' Are you ready?"
No.
"Move around, get as many as you can!" He split the white speck into five pellets, then slowly threw them at you. You dodged them, rather easily, might you add.
He gave me a rude look. "Hey buddy, you missed them. Let's try again, okay?"
This time, you tried dodging, but one hit your SOUL.
"You idiot."
You don't feel any love...
"In this world, it's kill or BE killed."
Wait what...?
"Why would ANYONE pass up an opportunity like this!?"
The box around your SOUL got much smaller, and was surrounded in a ring of the so-called 'friendliness pellets.'
"Die."
Flowey laughed evilly, then was thrown across the room by a magic attack of fire. You blinked.
A tall woman who looked like a sheep rushed over. "What a cretin, torturing such a poor, innocent youth..."
You moved your SOUL a little bit back, away from her.
"Ah, do not be afraid, my child. I am TORIEL, caretaker of the RUINS. I pass through this place every day to see if anyone has fallen down. You are the first human to come here in a long time. Come! I will guide you through the catacombs."
You are now a person again, and not just a red floating heart.
* This way.
You know that you shouldn't judge too much from the beginning, but you believe that in this place, the Underground, as Flowey called it, has some sort of order. People like Toriel are the good, people like Flowey are not.
Back to following Toriel. You walk through the grass where a rude flower once bloomed, and into another doorway. The walls of this room are purple bricks, the floor purple stone, and a square outlined in leaves in the center of the room. On the far side is two sets of white stone stairs, a bunch of leaves, and a doorway lined with vines.
A shiny object caught your eye. You ran up to it.
* (The shadow of the ruins looms above, filling you with determination.)
