Yumi yawned as she opened her eyes, and looked around. Her hair was still dripping from when she had entered the cave. The waterfall was still pounding down, though to her, it was a peaceful ambience.

..There was an odd feeling echoing through the room.

She looked around. With the odd feeling, the endless crashing of the waterfall was unsettling to her. It didn't feel right with the echo. "That's... odd..." she murmured.

There was a blue echo flower at the entrance of the cave. It was whispering something.

She noticed the echo flower and stood. She walked towards it. :That wasn't there before,: Yumi thought to herself.

..The echo flower whispered 'He won't leave me alone'

...HER voice.

"Kiara?" Yumi wondered aloud. She walked past the flower and simply passed through the waterfall. Her already wet hair was once again drenched, and water dripped from her skin.

...Something shimmered softly in the water.

Yumi approached the shimmer, already sick of the surprises by her home. She wasn't used to unfamiliar things that weren't on her adventures.

...Oh god.

HER crown.

Why doesn't she have it..?

She tilted her head. "What the..?" she murmured as she reached into the water and  picked up the crown. "It's Kiaras crown... so why is it here..?"

..The crown was slightly dented, and stained with something red. Signs of a struggle.

Her eyes widened. "Something happened," she realized. "I need to go find her," Yumi decided.

...She said she was meeting with the king.. first place to search should be waterfall. Then new home.

Yumi stood up straight. Since her cave was pretty close to the entrance of Waterfall, and farther away from Asgores castle, she decided it would be worthless to search there and headed toward the field of echo flowers.

...But nobody came. The echo flowers were silent.

That was extremely unsettling to her. Normally, at least a Woshua would come bother her. In turn, the echo flowers would repeat the sounds. But it was utter silence. She then headed towards the bridge.

...The ropes holding the bridge together seemed looser than normal.

She tested it and took a step back when it swayed. She looked down at the crown in her hand, and took a deep breath. Closing her eyes tightly, she slowly eased her way onto the bridge.

The crown's jewel shone softly..

One of the ropes on the far right side suddenly popped.

Yumi cried out and knelt down to steady herself. She waited until the swaying stopped, and then she continued. She was about halfway across the bridge.

3 out of the 4 ropes left standing. Yumi BARELY left standing.

There was a light stretching noise.. then a snap!

The other rope on the right side popped, causing the bridge to flip on its side.
