Chapter 9: The Mage Warrior

Frisk made their way throughout the WaterFall. They ran through the glowing lantern puzzle as they still kept their Pacifist ways of sparing every monster they saw. 

As they walked out the lantern puzzle, They walked down a long hallway. It got darker and darker as they continued. Frisk looked around before letting out a squeak as they fall into a deep puddle. They trudged along in the water in the darkness. They eventually made it to the other side and they stepped on land. 

A wave of relief hit Frisk as they continued. The water and the cold, damp atmosphere of the cave did not help Frisk. They were shivering and scared now. They always had a fear of the dark. Frisk tried their best to ignore it as they continued on the land, their soaked clothes weighing them down. 

They managed to see an Echo Flower and they walked up to it and the flower speaks in a dark voice.

"B e h i n d   y o u ."

 The room lit up as Frisk felt chills down their spine. Heavy, metal footsteps were heard behind Frisk. They hesitantly turned around only to see the same armored figure from before. The armored figure moves forward towards Frisk. Frisk panicked a little as the voice started to speak in a slightly feminine tint to it.

"Seven. Seven human souls. With those many, our king... King Sans... Will become a god... With that power, Sans will be granted the power to shatter the barrier. He will take the surface from the humans. And give the humans the pain and suffering that they have condemned us to.  Do you understand that, child? This is your only chance at redemption. Give me your soul, Or I will take it from your body, Child."

The figure's grip on their staff tightens as they point it at Frisk. Frisk started to panick a lot and they made a run for it. 

They ran past the figure and they continued, not even daring to look back. They could have sworn they heard those same footsteps behind them but they were unsure. They ran through that puddle, which slowed them down but they pushed through. They saw another path they hadn't went through and they ran down that path. Frisk was desperate and they didn't even bother listening to the Echo Flowers. 

Frisk sees a bridge and runs down it safely. They get tired so they stop running. They sit down as sweat drips down their face, forgetting that they were probably being chased. They pant as they try to catch their breath and they lay down and stare at the rooftop. They wait a bit until they can breath normally and they can they get up and they continue. Frisk continues and walks down a short bridge. 

Frisk makes it to the other side and they see an opening to, what looks like, a cavern. They walk towards it before stopping and looking up. They see that same armored figure and it begins speaking.

"Seven. Seven human souls and King Sans will become a god. Six. That is how many we have gathered thus far. Do you understand? Through your seventh and final soul, This world will be transformed."

The figure takes off their helmet to reveal their face. They were female and she was a goat. Her gaze was harsh on Frisk as she continued talking.

"You! Child, I believe you are standing in the way of everybody's hopes and dreams! Asgore's history books made me think you humans were so cool... But you! Child, You are just a coward! Running away like that so you wouldn't have to fight me! And you carry around a stick as your only defense!"

The female goat starts mocking Frisk, smirking.

"Oh, I am making such a difference by hugging random strangers!"

She stops and her gaze hardened a bit.

"You know what would be more valuable to everyone?"

Her gaze turns into a glare, her ears being blown to the right in the breeze that had turned into a strong wind.

"IF YOU WERE DEAD! That's right, Child! Your continued existence is a crime! Your life is what stands in the way of our freedom! Right now, I can feel everyone's hearts pounding together! Everyone has been waiting for this moment their whole lives! But we are not nervous at all, Child. When everyone puts their hearts together, They cannot lose! Now, Child, Lets end this, Right here, right now. I shall show you how determined monsters can be! Step forward when you are ready, Child!"

Frisk feels the glare of the determined warrior on them. They can feel the wind howling, drying off their wet clothes that the puddles in this place have caused. They are filled with determination. 

Frisk stared up at the female warrior, who stared back. Her armor gave off a shine from the light in the background. The challenge in her eyes were strong and very determined.

Frisk was very hesitant about fighting her. She nearly killed them back at the bridge places when she was chasing them. Frisk stepped forward and heard the warrior above.

"That's it, then..! No more running away, Child!"

Frisk heard metal and looked up to see the warrior diving down towards them, her staff in her hand as she lands in front of Frisk. Flames surrounded the warrior, Making her armor appear more orange than it's usually dark bluish-purplish color. The mage/warrior kept her head up with confidence. Her voice was stern and sounded very strict.

"Here I come, Child..."
