//------------------------------// // Pony Fight // Story: Ponytale // by Dragonfire2lm //------------------------------// Frisk looked down at the four options before them. A thought popped up about offering the flower they still held, but decided to try something else. * ACT> Check. What could only be described as a text box popped up and a voice Frisk had never heard before read out the words that appeard. * Coco Pommel, Atk= 10, Def= 5. A fashion artist with confidence issues, handle with care. Coco clutched her sketchpad close with one hoof and apologised for blocking the way, but she appeared too afraid to move. The world around Frisk responded to the pony's fear and the human scrambled to move their SOUL out of harms way as magic infused grass and leaves rained down upon them. Frisk shakily stood their ground and looked at the options they had in the ACT menu. They were drawn towards one. * ACT> Compliment. Coco appeared flustered by the praise and she didn't seem sure how to respond. * Coco's Atk decreased. Frisk was able to avoid most of the killer plant life and made their next move. * ACT> Give> Flower. Coco seemed confused but quickly recognized the flower as one that grew nearby. She smiled at the kind gesture. * Coco is sparing you. Frisk felt just as relieved as Coco when their turn came. * MERCY> Spare. The world returned to normal as Frisk waved goodbye to their new friend. They continued walking until they reached a room where the sandy path was surrounded by pillars and the exit was blocked by a large wall made of one solid block of wood. The obvious puzzle loomed ahead as if to taunt Frisk. They stood tall, they would not let the puzzle be their undoing and walked over to a nearby signpost, surely that would have a clue. Frisk squinted at the strange picture based lettering on the sign. What was this? How were they supposed to beat the puzzle if they couldn't read the clue?
