The song for this chapter is: The call

You entered the RUINS, coming to the first puzzle. It had been ages since you had been in here, and you couldn't remember how any of the puzzles went. 'The RUINS are full of puzzles. Ancient fusions between diversions and door keys. One must solve them to move from room to room. Please adjust yourself to the sight of them.' Toriel's words echoed in your mind and you examined the room. It was a simple, small room with a trail leading to the door, which was locked. On the right of you were about 6 stoned big enough to stand on, four off to the side and two in the middle. There was also a sign on the wall. Sighed, you walked over and squinted to read the old, faded writing.

*Only the fearless may proceed.

Brave ones, foolish ones,

Both not walk the middle road*

Okay, you remembered this one. It was a pretty easy puzzle, actually. You just walked on the stones except the ones in the middle, and you heard the door click open. You pushed it open and stepped inside. There was some dust on the floor. The sight of it made you feel sick.

"Froggit?"

You cupped your hands around your mouth, calling out into the RUINS.

"Napstablook?"

"Frisk?!"

"Mom?!"

*But nobody came*

Okay, no, this was bad. You felt a knot growing in your stomach and you took off down the hall, running as fast as you could. Not a single monster approached you, neither to fight nor speak. As you ran, you found you were kicking up dust. Why..why would Frisk do this? They hadn't been tricked like you had with Chara, you remember Frisk saying that to Geno. So why would they go genocide? You skidded to a halt as you reached the room with the spikes going across the water. Shit, that wasn't safe, and you needed to get to mom, fast. Looking aroun frantically you saw yet another sign posted on the wall and hurried over to it.

*The western room

is the eastern room's blueprint*

Okay, okay, you could do this. You went back to the previous room and studied it for a minute, making sure to memorize the path, and even walked through it a few times before going back to the spiked room. Taking a deep breath you pressed your foot onto the first tile. The spikes went down. Okay, you were off to a good start! The process was painstakingly slow and you hated it. How many more monsters were being killed while you were forced to waste your time on this stupid puzzle? What about mom? God, you hoped she was okay. Once you reached the the safety of the other side you booked it out of the room. You spotted the candy room and decided that getting a few handfuls might not hurt. After all, the monster candy did regain health if you got hurt. Not that anyone was there to hurt you. Even the long line of Froggit's were gone, and in their place small piles of dust. You sighed, hanging your head and started to leave when you saw that...shiny thing. The same one Chara had used to RESET. You walked over and stared. It was like..like a little star. You walked through the leaves and knelt down, touching it.

*Playfully crinkling through the leaves fills you with DETERMINATION*

SAVE?

Your eyes widened as you stared at the sort of screen that had appeared before you. There was already a file saved.

FILE: CHARA

You could save over it. You could RESET.

Looks like you just usurped someone's powers. But what does that mean, and why are you even down in the UNDERGROUND?

What's your purpose?
