You open your eyes. and you're welcomed by a blinding light coming from a hole in the sky.
WHAT? HOLE IN THE SKY!?

that's when it all comes back,the mission, the team, the drug dealer, the mentioned asshole pushing you, the fall.
Looking around it seems like you're in a cave looking obove again the light looks faraway, the hole its shining through small, but from what you remember it was a very big hole so you must've fallen a long way then how are you alive?
You can feel something very soft under your hand and in conclusion you. whatever it is it was the reason you were alive, must've broken your fall.

You try to get up but your body really hurts, guess the thing under you couldnt prevent that. but you're a warrior that works for the agency that saves people. so of course you have fought before,you're real tough.
You get up with a groan looking down you see the thing that has broken your fall, was a golden flower. actually not a golden flower a bunch of golden flowers.

Moving on from the flowers you wonder why there is a patch of golden flowers just beneath the hole and not the whole room? also dont they need water? does someone take care of them? so does anyone live here? and most importantly, where is here anyway?
After pushing the question to the back of your mind you decide to proceed and find a way out of wherever you are. all you see is a hole in the walls of the cave so thats where you go.
All you see is an empty room but then you notice a beaten up flower in the room.
wait. did it move?
Now that you pay more attention you can hear crying and whimpering. the flower can't be the source. can it?

You take a step closer being a little loud willingly, the flower seems to hear you considering the way his whimperjng stopped and his head turned in a speed you thought it would hurt.
Wait a second the flower moved!
Should you say anything?

"Human pl..please dont hurt me I'm not even trying to hurt you i just wanted to..." he start talking quickly, trying to convince you to not hurt it

He stops the rant when you shush it and say
"Dont worry little guy im not ganna hurt you"

The way the flowers face twists into looking relieved, warms and breaks your heart at the same time. it must've had a hard life, his petals sure look like it.

"Thanks"

"Dont worry about it, Im..." you were going to say my name but he cut you off.

"You should hide she will come to check here soon.I..I dont know what she'll do to you I dont wanna imagine it either"

WHAT?

but before you can ask you start hearing footsteps coming towards where you are and when you look at the flower it's gone.well this she sounds dangerous whoever she is.so you get up,you dont put your gaurd up (go into fighting stance), but you ready yourself for a fight.a fight that never happens. the footsteps stop by the door infront of you when the owner of it stands in the doorway (caveway?whatever)its a goat. not any kind of goat you've seen before though. she is walking on her legs instead of all four, instead of having hooves she has paws.she is wearing a long purple robe.

"Oh, Hello my child are you okay?"

Should you attack her?she sounded friendly. and her facial expression isn't showing any bad intention at all.

"Yes. thank you ma'am" you say
What kind of a creature is this? wait mabey that rumor was true after all, mabey she is a moster!

"Thanks the stars, im toriel my child caretaker of the ruins, its been a long time since a human has fallen down here" she says
She sounds real friendly

"The ruins?"

"Yes do you know where you are my dear?"

"Well not really"

          

"You are in the UNDERGROUND"
well you were right all alonge.

"Come with me my child I'll help you pass the puzzles and traps, its really dangerous here"

should you trust her? what if she is the 'she' the flower was mentioning?

She must've seen the debate you were having with yourself on whether or not to trust her, in your face because she says
"Dont worry my child, I dont intend to hurt you" the smile she gives you makes you want to believe her. she brings her hands(paws?)up you hesitate for a sec but took her hand eventually after looking at her smile again. but you don't completely put your guard down.
She leads you to the next room.

There are something like steps there.and a door that is close and a lever on the wall. hmm mabey this is a puzzle as toriel said.
She steps on the step like things,but not on all of them two are left,then she pulls the lever and...
The door opens! It was a puzzle after all before you can leave the room though, she asks

"What is your name,my child?"

"Y/n" you say after a little hesitation. she definitely noticed, but didn't say anything.

"What a beautiful name!" she says with a very sweet smile. alright you're really starting to like her. then you leave that room and go to the next. when toriel telks you to solve this one yourself. you look around the room the way to proceed is blocked by spikes. blood covered spikes. on the wall infront of you are three levers the first one has pointers all around it the second one too, but the last one doesn't. Guess you should pull levers to solve the puzzle. you go to the first one, you notice there's somthing written under it on the wall
'Please pull this one'
So you pull it, toriel looks happy. you go to the second one same thing. so you pull it. the spikes go to the ground with a loud click, toriel looks real happy, she goes to the other room. you wander about what the third one does, so you pull it...nothing happens, you shrug and go to the other room as well.

In the next room you see a dummy, toriel is standing by its side. she tells you about ENCOUNTERS and you encoumter the dummy toriel tells you to FIGHT with it. you consider using magic but decide against it, you want to keep it as a last resort infront of monsters. so you punch the dummy, toriel looks proud and happy. the encounter ends and you go to the next room.

After solving a bunch of puzzles and encountering a bunch of monsters-you didnt kill any though-with toriel you arrive at her house. its a cute little house -theres a tree infront of it with no leaves but you ignore it- you enter the house and are welcomed with a heavenly smell, you sniff the air a little,your mouth beginning to water. toriel looks happy about it.

"Follow me, my child i have a surprise for you" is what she says before going to a hallway. you follow, what else can you do? As you get there and stand alongside her, toriel pats your head
"This is where you're staying, this is going to be your room little one i hope you like it"

Somehow you feel happy and good that she called you little one.
Then you smell something burning
"Oh my, Can you smell something burning? Oh i should go my child you go rest in your room"
she says before leaving you. you go inside the room, looks like a child room honestly. there is a bed and a box filled with toys, a dresser, a drawer with a picture frame on top and a night stand with a lamp on it. you feel real tired so you decide to lay on the bed and then...

You open your eyes on the bed and the room that was 'yours'. then you notice a pie on the ground it smells heavenly. you go and pick it up and inspect it to make sure its not poisened. doesnt look or smells like it so you eat it, it tastes amazing you moan a little at how amazing it tastes. but you know the taste all too well, it tastes like blood, it smells like that too. becuase of you magic you actually love how blood tastes and its actually real good for your health too so no problems there.
after finishing the pie you go out of your room. you decide to check the hallway you're in before you go and find toriel. there are three rooms in this hallway. one is 'yours', one is under renovation and locked and one is not locked, you decide to take a look inside...

Just a normal room with a queen sized bed, a big bookshelf with a lot of books inside, huh she seems to really like reading, a drawer with a lamp on top, a plant that looks like a cactus in the right corner by the door. a table with a chair infront of it and a lamp and a notbook on top of it in the left side by the door.you look at the notebook, its filled with... jokes. skeleton jokes and puns.

You leave the room. near the door is a mirror. you look at it.
'Theres nothing there, just you. y/n'
Even though you see that you hair is a mess you dont pay much mind to it. you go to find toriel.

You go to the part of the house that has the front door. where you came in from. infront of the front door is a staircase. you make a mental note to ask about it later from toriel. there's a door infront of you, well not a door more like an entryway, so you pass right through and enter.
There you see toriel sitting on a chair -mabey you can call it chairiel hehe- reading a book by the fireplace. there is also a dinning table in the room with the same golden flowers that broke your fall on top -mabey she is the one that has been growing them, so she has potentially saved your life- and another bookshelf in the room wow she realy likes books. though there is no tv or radio in sight.

wow

Upon seeing you she smiles
"Hello my child, up already? did you find the pie?"

you smile at her and go near her, after all she's done for you, she deserves your trust and gratitude. you stand near her but not to near to invade her personal space.

"Yes thank you very much it was really delicious" you say

She smiles at you. a caring one. you enter another debate with yourself on wether or not its a good time to ask her about the staircase. she figures out your hesitance again it seems.

"Is there something you want to say or ask, my child?" she says in a calm voice. You decide to tell her.

"where does the staircase go to?" her smile disapear for a second befor returning but it looks a little strained...mabey scared a little or is that worry?

"Well...it goes to the rest of the UNDERGROUND"

"the rest of the UNDERGROUND?"

"Yes where the other monsters are...why?"

"nothing i was just curious"

Toriel searches your face for a second or two, and seems to find what she was looking for, how did you find out? becuase of her smile.
"I see, say, my child how did you fall down here?"

"Someone pushed me"

"Wow, my, thats horrible" she looks at you with a sorry expression

"When i fell down though i met a talking flower"

Her smile twitched a little "oh you must be talking about flowey" then that's his name.

"he told me that you were dangerous and that I should hide, why was that?" You ask curiously

"I am what we call a boss monster, a monster that is stronger than a normal one, one that has a stronger SOUL that's why normal monsters like him are intimidated by me"

you're really happy that she's being honest with you so you express it.
"Thanks for being honest" you smile sweatly at her. she returns that smile.

"Its amazing here, but i really need to go home"

"My dear im afraid its not possible, the UNDERGROUND and monsters are locked by a magic barrier that everything can enter from but nothing can leave. the only way to break the barrier is to have a power equal to seven human SOULS" she looks really sad over that fact

"So im basically stuck" you thought out loud while staring at the floor deep in thought.

"im afraid so my child"
my child. you like how that sounds like.

"Can i call you mom?"
