Now and Forever: A Horrortale Mini-series, Part - 1

Chara collapsed in the doorway to Asriel’s room. The red eyed monsters looked up in shock. Asriel would have rushed over to help if he was able, but Chara knew that was not the case.

Chara still wore the bulky, over-sized and now dented suit of armor. It was the smallest size they could steal from the castle’s armory. They didn’t know exactly how many of their bones were broken. It felt like all of them, but in actuality, It didn’t matter; Chara had found what they had searched for.

“Chara?” Asriel called meagerly, straining for his voice to be loud enough to hear. “W-what happened?” After a long pause, full of heavy breathing, Chara finally responded.

“I broke Asgore’s rule,” Chara said through huffs of air. “He didn’t like it.”

“Where did-”

“Wait,” Chara interrupted, “don’t talk, you need to save your strength.” The accursed sickness had been draining the small monster of his strength for far too long without any sign of stopping. Chara never stopped resenting themselves for getting too close while they were affected by the same ailment. They had survived, but Asriel was going to die because of them.

Chara, still wearing the bronze armor, pushed through the pain that wracked their whole body and slowly made their way over to Asriel’s bed and sat down next to him. Asriel looked at Chara with red, sad eyes. They cupped the side of Asriel’s furry, soft face and smiled as best as they could.

“Asgore didn’t like me sneaking out,” Chara under-stated, “luckily he got bored before he killed me.” Asriel opened his mouth to speak again, but Chara held up a hand. “I’ll be okay, and now, you’ll be okay too.” Chara grabbed a leather pouch from their belt and opened it, revealing a solid black crystal shard.

If the magical black flowers, the ones capable of curing all sickness, grew in the underground, this whole thing would be easy. However, it was not easy. The flowers were on the surface, behind the magical barrier that Chara, on many occasions, had tried and failed to force themselves through.

However, this black shard, a Serebus Crystal could help him… at a price. A price Chara had pondered again and again. A price they concluded they were willing to pay if it meant helping the only friend they ever had.

Some said that the Serebus Crystal is why monsters were banished underground and not anywhere else. Those who sought its’ terrible power would be ripped apart by hordes of savage monsters before ever finding one. But now Chara had it. “Remember when Asgore had one of his episodes and you stood in front of him to protect me?” Chara said, looking at the cracks in Asriel’s left eye. “This is me, paying you back.”

Chara held Asriel’s hand for a few long second before stepping away to the center of the room. Their somewhat functioning arm stripped off their breastplate. It clattered to the wooden floor. Chara took the Serebus Crystal and held it high in the air. Now they needed to recite the forbidden words. Chara took one last look at Asriel before returning to their dark task.

“Oridei,” Chara began, “klaatu barada nikto, nathrazem.” They crystal began to vibrate in Chara’s hand, resonating with the beat of their heart. “Faratus Itto baladash.” The incantation was cast.

They brought the crystal to eye level to examine it. The darkness inside its’ crystalline structure began to flow and move. It was like there was something trapped inside it, searching for release.

It was time to let it out. Chara held it out in front of their chest with both hands, the sharp end pointed straight at their heart. “Don’t worry,” Chara reassured, “I will take care of everything.” Before Asriel could protest, Chara plunged the shard into their chest and the world immediately vanished and was replaced only with darkness.

Authors Note: I have recently become obsessed with the @horrortale AU and have planned a mini series detailing the fate of Asriel and Chara. I will upload a new part every other day. So the next one will be on Tuesday (unless you live in a place like Australia). Follow me for immediate updates on the story!

I headcanon that HT!Asriel was probably super excited to meet HT!Flowey the first time, because what young excitable kid wouldn’t think that someone making a flower alive cool as heck.

Meanwhile the flowerchild is very confused.

I have no idea how the whole meeting between Frisk and Flowey went down, but this was made along the idea of maybe Frisk’s walking was (temporarily) impaired from the fall, so they were limping or something. Flowey fetches the nearest help they know, which happen to be the Dreemurr kids (for some reason or another). Healing and bonding ensues.

Idk, I just really like the idea of Frisk meeting Asriel and Chara early on for some reason, even if that might not be how it actually goes down.
