They both entered the same doorway which led to a room that had a main hall vibe, there were two sets of stairs that led up and in the middle of both of them, was a bed of red flowers.

There was something shining in the middle of the flowers, it looked very important. They walked toward it until Toriel went up the stairs and left him with his curiosity about the shining object.

Y/n touched it and was blasted with a feeling that he had never felt before, it was a sensation that made him feel powerful. Then his SOUL flouted in front of him once more and displayed a message saying,

(*The shadow of the ruins looms above, filling you with Determination*)

Then it displayed something that looked like a Save screen. He pressed Save and it closed out and made his SOUL disappear. He then heard Toriel say,

Toriel: ¨My child? What is bothering you?¨

Y/n shook his head and with a smile, he said, ¨Oh, I was just admiring the beautiful red flowers.¨ She smiled and said,

Toriel: ¨Alright, but I need you to stay with me through the Ruins, it's a very dangerous place for a human.¨

Y/n agreed and followed her up the stairs and into the doorway that sat at the top of the stairs. Once they both entered the room, Toriel turned to face him and said,

Toriel: ¨Welcome to your new home, innocent one. Allow me to educate you in the operation of the Ruins.¨

Toriel then pressed down only four of the pressure plates and flipped a switch that was on the other side of the room, which then opened a part of the wall and allowed access to the next room.

Toriel looked towards Y/n and said,

Toriel: ¨The Ruins are full of puzzles. Please adjust yourself to the sight of them.¨

He nodded and followed Toriel to the next room, which was way longer than the previous one. Toriel pointed to the end of the room and said,

Toriel: ¨To make progress here, you will need to trigger several switches. Don't worry because I have labeled the ones that you will need to flip.¨

She then walked down the hall while Y/n followed and flipped all the necessary switches until the last switch was flipped which lowered spikes that were blocking the exit of the room.

Toriel smiled and said,

Toriel: ¨Splendid! I am proud of you, young one. Let us move to the next room.¨

After saying this, she turned around and went onto the next room with Y/n following right behind her. The next room had only a...test dummy standing on the other side of the room.

Toriel looked at him and said,

Toriel: ¨As a human living in the Underground, a monster may attack you. You will need to be prepared for this situation.¨

Y/n didn't really want to fight any monsters, he just wanted to go home. Then he thought to himself,

Y/n: ('What home? I don't have one. Maybe I should just live here, I mean Toriel is nice enough and is motherly to me, so maybe I can just stay here.')

Toriel: ¨But worry not, my child, the process is very simple. When you encounter a monster, you will enter a Fight. While you are in a Fight, try to strike up a friendly conversation and stall for time, I will come to resolve the conflict. Now go on practice talking to the dummy.¨

Y/n walked over to the dummy and the Fight began. His SOUL floated in front of him and displayed a message saying,

'You have encountered the Dummy'
