"Ahhh!" She sat up in shock and cold sweat as she felt the emptiness and pain of her soul being shattered inside her last bit of consciousness, the red and dull shards fading before her eyes, "Why..."
"Yo, you're back?" She heard a slightly mocking voice from behind her and quickly turned her head around, but saw no one, "How does it feel to have your soul disappear before your eyes? Isn't it exciting?"
It was Chara! She immediately remembered who it was when she heard the familiar voice, and she replied angrily into the air, "Chara! If you knew, then why didn't you come to my rescue, instead of seeing me just get shot?"
He grunted coldly and replied, "This lady, why should I come to your rescue? Is it by virtue of your rare and determined soul, or by virtue of that time necklace of yours? Or maybe you are just a narcissist? You heard what that flower said, here, it's either kill or be killed, and the weak, they should be struck down."
She didn't expect him to drop these words so unemotionally, and looked dumbfounded for a moment, lowering her head and whispering something, perhaps to herself, or to him, "No, it shouldn't be like that, they must still have a kind heart, just hidden away for a while... "
He laughed and said to her with amusement and good humor, "Are you stupid? Even if that's the case, you still believe in this kind of deceitful words to children? It seems that your father has not told you about the situation here at all, you are just a delicate flower hiding in the greenhouse."
She heard him scolding himself and at the same time expressing her displeasure with her father, angrily refuting his words, "That's just what you think, they must exist with that good heart! They should just be guided a little, just like we guide our own souls!"
"Oh," he gave a disdainful laugh, "then go ahead and guide their vain hearts, Great Goodness."
With that he departed, and she felt his departure. She was going to say something, but there was no way to go about communicating when things were like this, so she closed her newly opened mouth again. She remembered Chara's first words, "Come back", what did she mean by "come back"?
She looked at her soul, still as radiant as it had been before she went to the meadow, and turned her head to the side and saw the still dim but twinkling star next to her.
She wanted to go to reach the king by peaceful means, what her father had always stressed to her, if you do come here, be merciful to them, they are very good monsters.
She touched the star once again, and there was no difference with the previous one. She thought for a moment about what "back" meant, looked at herself, and then looked at the star in front of her, and had a guess. Thinking of this, she covered her chest and continued until the meadow.
Once again she stopped in front of the meadow, this time she wanted to go find the flower first, and called out to the meadow, "Flowey, come out, I need to talk to you!"
After a period of seeming stagnation all around her, she felt a vibration from the ground, and a few seconds later, she saw again the flower that had killed her once.
It felt strange, did this human know herself? Then why did it not know her?
She also saw that it didn't look like it knew her, which further confirmed her suspicions. She stared hard at it and asked it, "Do you know it's a rude and impolite act to just kill someone for no reason like that?"
It rolled its eyes at Frisk and replied to her, "Human, I don't even know you, how am I going to kill you? Besides, even if that's true isn't that the way it should be, monsters kill humans and humans kill monsters, it's only right."
What it said made her think that her speculation was completely correct - she was saved by a mysterious power until she was struck down, that is, when she just saw the star, which was so mysterious that she didn't know how much more wonderful power the star really had.
Thinking of this, her voice lowered slightly and she said, "So what are you going to do now, wipe me out with that bullet of yours again?"
It did not laugh as before, but answered her more seriously: "If you had simply walked past here, I might have actually done so, and now..."
She suddenly felt the air around her constantly squeezing towards herself, which made her gasp for air, she didn't know what kind of trick this was, but she knew that this tactic must be the handiwork of the flower in front of her.
"I am curious about you now, human," it ripped her soul out of her body and saw that it was being consumed, "I know that your current body is being maintained entirely by your soul for the time being, now, if you tell me why you know me and my tricks, I might will let you go."
She felt the oppression on her soul as well as her body at the same time, she was not feeling well in this situation, she would not last long, she had to say this before she passed out again, anyway, she would just die and rewind to the past, wouldn't she?
She stared at the abominable flower, ready to speak, when she realized that its look was now a bit off, it looked like it felt... scared?
Soon, she heard a footstep from deep ahead, and Flowey immediately let go of her, dropping a threatening remark before diving into the ground, looking as if he had never been here before.
The footsteps are getting closer and closer, she also felt a touch of fear, her whole body is trembling slightly, even the flower is afraid of the monster will not be more ferocious?
Soon, a bright light emerged from the shadows, it was a candle. And the monster holding this candle was wearing a dark red robe with a logo she had never seen before. This monster, despite wearing a pair of glasses, she could tell that the monster did not mean her any harm.
The monster gradually walked up to her, lowered its head and softly asked, "Poor child, did you fall from above?"
She nodded, indicating that she had accidentally fallen down.
"Oh child, it's okay, it's safe here now, nothing will happen. My name is Toriel and I am the guardian of this ruin." She smiled up and told her about the place in a gentle voice.
"Ruins...no wonder this place is so empty...that makes sense, it looks monotonous when it's basically untended." She pondered, then continued to look at the seemingly harmless monster.
"Boy, if we continue to stay here it might be too cold, why don't we go live inside the ruins." She asked to Frisk.
And that's what she thought, she was going to keep going anyway until she reached the king, and it would be good to have someone who knew the place well to lead her, so she agreed to the request.
She took her hand, and it made Frisk feel something in her heart, a feeling she had never felt before.
