"Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten."

You're breathing heavy as you walk up to the skeleton. The knife in your hand dripping with blood and monster dust. The skeleton greets you with a saddened smile.

"Hey Kiddo...how was the party? Fun right...not. You killed my bro...that isn't forgive-able."

You get into stance. You were gonna kill the skeleton. You would keep retrying no matter what.

"Hah...I've seen all of this before. You think I'm gonna go easy on you...think again."

You swing at the skeleton. They dodge your attack. Their red jacket shimmering in the light coming through the window.

"Nice attack kid. I've seen better attacks though." 

They smirked at you. You felt your fears and sins crawl up your back. You shake it off. You point the knife at them. 

"Kid...you really shouldn't have done anything at the party...I've done the same as you..."

You check the skeletons stats. Their name was glitching between Sans and Broken. You check their attack and defense. Question marks appear in front of you. 

"You checking my stats kid? You won't find any-" 

You attack them while they were distracted. You smile as they slump to the ground. They dust in front of you. You laugh thinking it was so easy to kill them. You just had to get past them, now you are free to leave through the barrier.

"Nice try kiddo. I ain't dead yet."

You turn and are met with one glowing green eye. A big white toothy grin giving you a chill.

"Now lets see how I can make you break..."
