Well, there was certainly no going back now.

Sora thought that as he stared at the top of the hole he fell into. The light shimmering beautifully from above him.

Although to be honest, he needed to be down there anyway. He didn't know WHY he needed to be-It was as though he were being called.

So he stood, trying to keep himself composed while he ventured into the unknown.

"You're new to the Underground, aren't 'cha?" the cutest voice he'd ever heard spoke up from behind him. Sora instantly turned around to see who it belonged to.

And yet, there was nobody there.

He decided to try cupping his hands around his mouth, "HELLO!" he called it rather loudly, the word echoing in the cave he stood in.

"Sillyhead!" the voice spoke up again, "I'm right down here!"

A turn of his head quickly revealed the source.

A flower.

He didn't jump though-After all, he'd met talking flowers before anyway-Who was he to judge? "Oh-Sorry, I didn't see you there-"

The flower giggled, "You look like you could use some help-"

The flower cut itself off, deciding to vanish when he heard the voice of another. It seemed to be calling in response to Sora's yell earlier.

"Hello? Are you alright?" the voice was gentle-But it threw him off a bit. Why...Would the flower run from it? Was it just shy? Even so..

He decided to find out for himself. But he wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt.

Toriel had not too long ago said her goodbyes to the human child, heading back to care for the yellow flowers. Swallowing the memories that they'd brought back to her. Of both of them. They looked so similar in appearance to...Yet they were so gentle...Like...

Silently, she'd prayed that they'd be safe. That she'd one day see them again..

"HELLO!"

A voice echoed from back at the flowers. Her eyes widened slightly, was there really...Really another? So soon as well?

She instantly picked up her pace. Hoping within her very soul that she'd be able to help his one!

Approaching, she noticed who was undoubtedly a human standing there. He was admiring the yellow flowers, muttering to himself.

She thought about how his clothing was rather odd, comparing it to the other humans she'd met since coming down here.

"Hello? Are you alright?" she called out to him softly, catching his attention.

The boy-A teenager, really-Straightened up, looking at her with a bright smile. As though monsters were a completely common sight for him. It confused her, to say the least. But even so, she approached him like she had all the others.

"Hi there, I'm Sora!" he greeted with his hand extended. Toriel couldn't help but take it, shaking his hand lightly, "Oh-Hello! I am Toriel." she smiled. At least he was polite.

"It's nice to meet you, Toriel!" Sora grinned widely at her. He looked back a moment, determining if he should mention the flower he'd just met.

Turning back to her, she seemed to have adopted a sad look on her face. Forcing herself to smile again when he faced her.

"My child, if you wound kindly come with me. There are some things we need discuss."
