"Leave the child alone you evil flower!"

--------------------------------------------------------------

Zim was met face-to-face with a goat monster whose head resembled a white-furred Nubian Goat, structured with droopy ears and short horns. They had a pair of visible fangs and long eyelashes, and their irises had a dark red tint. She had an anthropomorphic body, with paws at the end of her limbs. They wore a long purple robe with a strange symbol on the chest.

"What a terrible creature, torturing such a poor,innocent youth..." She said as Zim stepped back.

"Ah, do not be afraid, child."

Zim expression went from afraid to curious.

"I am Toriel,caretaker of the RUINS." She introduced herself.

Zim stayed quiet. After Flowey tried to kill him, he wanted to make sure that the monster that he was facing was friendly.

"I pass through this place every day to see if anyone has fallen down." Toriel said.

"I will do my best to ensure your protection during your time here."

This lady seems pretty sus....Zim thought.

"Come!" Toriel said, motioning him to another room.

"I will guide you through the catacombs."

Zim followed her to the next room.

The room had puzzle that featured six switches placed on the ground and a lever. A plaque on the opposite wall read "Only the fearless may proceed. Brave ones, foolish ones. Both not walk the middle road."

"Welcome to your new home, green one." Toriel said.

"Allow me to educate you in the operation of the RUINS."

Toriel steeped on the right and left switches, and flipped the lever, opening the door.

"The RUINS are full of puzzles. Ancient fusions between diversions and doorkeys. One must solve them to move from room to room. Please adjust yourself to the sight of them." She instructed before moving on.

The next room had three switches on the wall, two bridges, spikes at the end of the room, and a plaque on a wall that read "Stay on the path."

"To make progress here, you will need to trigger two switches." Goat Mom said as Zim looked around.

 "Do not worry, I have labelled the ones that you need to flip."

So, Zim looked over to the switches, and flipped them.

"Splendid!" Toriel said.

"Let us move in to the next room."

Of they go!

Deeper into the RUINS.
