Falling down a hole hurts.

You had realized this as soon as you woke up. A pounding blinding head ache. Black and yellow and red petals...all under your hand.

Continue?

You continue on, the thought of clearing this run down dark cave fills you with determination.

Your footsteps echo the empty walls, and you stop. There before you is a small flower. Your hands droop to your side and you say nothing. "Howdy! I'm Sakura! Sakura the flower!" It's yellow flowered head tilts at you.
That makes no sense, this flower isn't even a Sakura petal or anything close to a Sakura. You do a shy wave confused on the standing of this creature.

*GOLLY! You sure are new to this place arnt you!
*here. Listen close I'll show you the basics best friend!

It's friendly attitude draws you close. You can feel your heart beating fast. This monster or whatever it was, seems to be very kind. Very inviting...

Little white dots appear beside the flower.
*that LV signature near you is Love!
*these right here are my Friendliness pellets, friend!
*run into them.

They come at you and a odd sense of unknowingness makes you dodge them.

*heh. Uh....gosh...I think you forgot to run into them.

They come at you again. You dodge them.

*Run. Into. The. Bullets.

You're taken aback but the flowers changing attitude. They come at you again you dodge them.

*you think THIS IS A JOKE.

The flowers face changes and pellets surround you. You quiver in place.
Oh god. What is this.

*in THIS world it's KILL or be KILLED.
*You pOOR UNFORTUNATE SOUL.
*YOURE GONNA DIE

You hold back screams. You had nothing but a mere stick.
You were not ever gonna use it though. Seeing how this creature is, you never want to become like him. Never.

*DEFEND YOURSELF SHOW ME SOME LOOOOoOoove.

The pellets are now almost fully sunk into you.

You're gonna die with the sound of this flowers laugh imprinted in your mind.

Cruel.

A heat source slashes into the flower the pellets disappearing once the flower is gone.

*Oh wow...
*Hello, I am Koriel. Caretaker of the ruins.
*Are you...okay my child?

The soft voice urges you to look up. You stare at the new monster.
What if this one was like the other..
You back up and her worried frown goes to a small smile.

*it is okay.
*you may trust me child.

She holds out her hand.
Staring at it your hand slowly inches to it. You both hold hands and her smile grows
*there we go.
*Now come on, let's get you away from this mess. The ruins are a dangerous place so please stay close.

She starts walking, you take her instructions and stay close holding her hand.

*there are many puzzles in the ruins to dangerous for the likes of you.
Her eyes look at you for a split second before she lets go of your hand walking and pressing buttons.
A door unlocks.
*first I will correctly teach you the way down here works.
*this is a dummy.
*please talk to it my child.

You stare at the dummy awaitingly.

-it does nothing since it of course is a dummy.

You give it a polite nod and look at Koriel.
She seems moderately proud.

She takes your hand and leads you put of the room.
*very good my child.
*you learn fast which is good down here.

She stares at a spike puzzle.
*i suppose this puzzle is a little bit to tricky for you at this moment.
*be careful behind me.

She gently pulls you across the puzzle.

You both head down more of the ruins. She stops.
*i know this is kinda sudden
*and...scary...
*but my child, you'll have to walk to the end of this wall.

She lets go of your hand looking at you nervously.
*please be safe

She walks off and you start on forward.
Hopefully she didn't leave you forever...
That would be horrible.

You stare at a lone pillar once you get to the end of the hall.

She emerges from behind it.
*good job my child,
*i was behind this mere pillar  the whole time.

You both give each other goofy smiles.

You enter the next room with her.
*i know....
*i know this is EXTREMELY sudden.
*but that trial back there was merely only a small test.
*a small test that was to test you....

She sniffles sadly
*to see if you could be alone.
*because...
She tears up just a little bit
*i will be gone for a little bit.
She hands you a small phone
*use this to call me if you're in trouble.
*please remember to talk to me when you're in need.

She turns to walk off then turns again giving you a quick hug

*bye my child

She leaves the room quickly, rubbing at her eyes with her sleeve.
