"W-Who the hell are you?!" Jason screamed. The birds in the trees all began to fly upward at once, chirping uncontrollably.
"What's going on?" Nate asked while looking up at the birds.
"There's more of them.." The lady replied. She pulled her knife out of the dead frog's head and stood facing the forest in a battle stance. "Just make sure you stay behind me." she noted. The bushes leading to the forest began to rustle wildly, as you could hear the deep croaking noises from beyond them. Joseph peered over his shoulder to see if there was anyone else around only to be met with a bright yellow star right behind the boys. "Here we go" the lady muttered. 4 Frogs had jumped out the bushes, 2 whipping their tongues out to slash the lady only for her dodge one tongue and grab the other frog's tongue wither her right hand, causing it to bleed.
"Get over here" She grunted as she pulled the frog closer to her, slashing the top half of its head off. One frog opened its mouth wide and vomited a whole bunch of flying insects at the lady. She looked around to see if there was any way to dodge them, but they were too fast. The lady looked directly at the incoming swarm of insects and jumped straight into them giving her a bunch of cuts and bruises.
"What is she doing?" Nate asked himself. The lady yelled as she made it out of the insects, her knife slashes straight down the frog's body. She dashed at the other frog with her knife ready to pierce straight through its body only for her body to be pierced by one of the other frog's sharp tongue. Her body fell to the floor as she looked at the boys.
"NO!" Joseph screamed. The gave them a brief smile before her body turned to dust revealing her blood red soul.
"What soul is that..?" Jason asked.
"I've never seen anything like it" Nate replied. The boys stared at the soul until it cracked in half and shattered into pieces. The 2 frogs that were left payed no attention to their dead comrades, they treated their bodies as if they didn't exist. One of the frogs had it's tongue hanging from it's mouth as the other one was croaking loudly.
"Stay behind us Joseph!" Jason demanded as he shoved Joseph away. "You ready to die Nate?" Jason asked him. Nate nodded getting ready to fight to his death. One of the frog's whipped their tongue at the boys, but before it could hit them a figure came out the air pinning the tongue to the ground.
"IT'S THE LADY!" Joseph shouted as he pointed at her.
"But how? We saw her die!" Nate noted. Jason stared at her in awe. The boys were amazed that she had come back after death. The lady just smirked at them as she took her knife out and began to dash towards both the frogs. She threw her knife which was actually 3 knives, 2 of them hitting the eyes of the frog and the other one slashing through its neck. She took another knife out her pocket and dashed straight in front of the last remaining frog and had slashed it so many times its body just blew apart.
She looked at the children holding out her hand signalling them to follow her.
"C'mon guys, let's go!" Jason said. Nate grabbed his arm pulling Jason back towards him.
"Do you really wanna trust her?" Nate asked.
"Nate, she just saved us" Jason replied. "You don't trust her after everything she's just done for us?" He asked.
"What if she's crazy?" Nate asked. "She did just murder a whole bunch of frogs" he continued.
"But weren't the frogs trying to kill us? She just came to help, plus don't you wanna know more about her soul?" Jason went on. "C'mon we have souls too we could protect ourselves and Joseph" he added. Nate let out a huge sigh and followed Jason towards the lady. The boys followed the lady in silence around the outskirts of the city, to the places the boys have never ventured to. Away from all the people and almost a ghost town. "So, who are you and what's your name?" Nate asked the lady.
"My name is Frisk, and I'm a 22 year old woman" She replied.
"With skills like that, did you work for S.O.U.L?" Jason asked.
"I trained under them but never worked under those fools." She replied.
"What about your soul? You can come back from the dead?" Nate asked again.
"My soul... It's the soul of DETERMINATION, the power to never die as long as I create a save point. As for my RESET button... I lost that power." Frisk explained.
"RESET button?" Jason repeat.
"Just keep walking, I'll explain more when we get to our destination." Frisk demanded.
They all walked in silence along the dirty tracks of the broken gravel road. Continuing their journey as the sun set...
