Toriel leads me into a radiant purple room
with stairs surrounding an orange leaf
pile. A doorway stands at the top.
As I look up at the dark shadows of the
Ruins, I am filled with some... burning
passion. I wonder why...
Toriel goes up one side of the staircase
I go up the other, but we both go into
the doorway together.
We enter a room the same purple
color but with six stone plates
and a bright yellow lever.
"Welcome to your new home,
innocent one." Toriel says
to me.
New home?
"Allow me to educate you in
the operation of the RUINS."
She says, walking to the first
one.
She steps on the four that make
a square, then pulls the lever. I
hear a clank and see the door in
front of us open
"The RUINS are full of puzzles."
Toriel tells me." Ancient fusions
between diversions and doorkeys.
One must solve them to move from
room to room. Please adjust your-
self to the sight of them."
As she leaves, I look at the puzzle
and notice a stone plaque on the
wall.
"'Only the fearless may proceed."'
I read aloud. "Brave ones, foolish
ones. Both walk not the middle
road' Wonder what that means?"
Still looking at the plaque, I walk
through the shadowed doorway.
In front of where I stand, I see
Toriel standing in front of a bridge
that stands over a small river.
"Too make progress here, you will
need to trigger several switches"
She tells me. "Do not worry, I have
labeled the ones you need to flip."
She walks over the bridge and I
begin to follow her, but I see an
other plaque.
I read it aloud "'Stay on the path.'
That's it?"
After crossing the bridge, I see an
other yellow switch with three
yellow arrows pointing to it.
"You definitely labeled them" I
say, snickering.
I walk to and pull the lever. After a
moment, it falls, almost bringing me
down with it. Toriel looks pleased.
There's an other open doorway
but it has spikes in front of it!
I see two levers, one has the same
markings as before, the other has
none. I know which one to click.
I pull the marked lever and it gives in,
a bit easier. There's a clank and I watch
the spikes disappear.
"Splendid!" Toriel says. " I am proud, little
one. Let us move to the next room."
As she walks through the door, I follow.
