LOFITALE

Chapter 0: The Concept

It's finally here! At long last, Lofitale is a webcomic! Here's the concept introduction page! Asriel returned home from work as an R&B singer and is greeted at the door by his albino brother Ralsei. They both go into Asriel's room to stream on Twitch

Asriel's Lofitale Journal

My boss and part-time girlfriend. In my own universe at least Yes, I said part-time. We haven't decided yet if we want to be serious so we date off and on. But Muffet is usually my boss. I help her in her bakery and assist her and Mettaton with their "unusual" marketing strategy for new products. If she means unusual then she means stripping me down half naked and making me pose in front of a camera then, yeah. I'd call that unusual. Mettaton calls it "making monsters more marketable".

Thanks to Gerdew on Twitter for this adorable commission!

Say hello to my brother! Lofitale Ralsei! Or Prince Ralsei Dreemurr! The Albino Prince of the Underground! Once again, in this universe he was born in the Ruins to Mom eight months after she left Dad and after I was killed. Born a rare albino with pink eyes, skin, horns, and claws, the little boy was truly a Prince of the Dark. He would always have to wear some kind of covering to not be burned by harsh light. He would become just as gifted as Mom with cooking, healing, geology, and herbology. After Frisk reunites him with me, we all live on the surface together with another adoptive sibling: Suzy!

Thanks to Gerdew on Twitter for making this commission for me! I dub this The Premise as this is the general premise of my AU Lofitale!

It truly was a bit of a shock when I gained my soul back and properly met my brother for the first time. It wasn't sprung on me quite like this but meeting Ralsei was still quite a shock. I never had any siblings except for Chara and I guess Frisk and Suzy now, but Ralsei is the one that I can say is related to me by blood. It's different.

When Frisk took my hand and escorted me through the Underground from that patch of flowers, I could feel myself come back. All of my memories and emotions came flooding back. That Flower no longer had a hold on me. He would always be there, but hopefully, with my family's help, Flowey will never resurface again.

As Frisk guided me towards the barrier, I could feel every piece of all seven souls fusing together to form my new one. It had a strange effect on my body. Quickly in a moment, as I reached the Judgement Hall, the years caught up with me. Gone was the scared, timid eight-year-old. Standing before Frisk was the lean, lanky teenager you see in the image above.

I was a little scared but, my new best friend Frisk assured me that everything would be ok. Down the dank hallways, up the narrow staircases, and across the brightly lit throne room we moved through. The place I once called home.

The courtyard where Frisk and I began our final battle was still there as if nothing happened. I gazed down upon the golden bed of flowers where I collapsed into dust on that fateful day. Wondering how different everyone's life might have been if I had refused to indulge in Chara's plan. All I could do now was step forward with my new family and brace for whatever the future would bring.

The sunset lit up the final passageway where the Barrier once had been. It was blinding. When my vision adjusted...there they all were. Standing just outside the mountain. Finally breathing the free air of the Surface. Mom, Dad, those Skeletons, Alphys, and Undyne standing there in a line. And next to Mom was...him.

His tiny white form made me choke up tears of joy for the first time in centuries. But my legs wouldn't move. A million voices in my head were screaming that I still didn't deserve this. Satisfaction, Happiness, Love. Everything that good people deserved. Things I felt like I shouldn't have. I was feeling lightheaded from how many emotions were overwhelming me.

Frisk, that wonderful, strange, impossible, determined kid just sighed and took my hand. Leading the way like he always did. It was a surreal feeling, having something or someone shorter than me, dragging me along. As we stepped into the light, however, I was focused on only one thing. All of those eyes suddenly turned to look at us.

It took them a few seconds to process what and who they were looking at, and an eternity longer to accept that it was real.

The reunion was tearful and joyous to say the least. Perhaps I will go into further detail in a future commission. They had no questions and needed none. Sans and I knew we would have to set aside time to talk later, but he was ok with what was happening.

That little boy, my brother, born in the darkness of the Ruins approached me. I knelt down to let him touch my face as we met properly for the first time.

"Howdy...Ralsei. I know this all may be strange for you. But I wanted to meet you. I'm Asriel. Your big brother."

Ralsei was silent for a moment but then beamed brighter than the sunset.

"I was wondering when you were gonna come back! It's wonderful to meet you, big brother!"

After that well, perhaps I'll get into another time. As the story of how Frisk reintroduced Monsterkind and met Clover's own Monster family are two big stories in of themselves.
