[aj-thegreatest]

Since Yah-gurl-ari and cocopineo are back to doing some ToM stuff again have you considered trying to get back into it too? No pressure just miss some of your old characters/designs 🥰

First off, thank you so much for remembering my designs/characters! It’s been so long, and I’m glad some people think fondly of them

I’d like to come back potentially, but I kinda…sorta…definitely got banned from that stand so that’s a no

It sucks, but I’m still having fun doing my own thing! If you want to see more of my characters, check out my SVTFOE next Gen series “Cordelia and Phoebe!” It’s still a WIP but I love my kids dearly:

ch13: Stormsender

Noct punched a tree screaming, “DAMN IT!” He pants glaring at the tree, he failed again, a paladin protects people yet his best friend is now in the clutches of the empire because he couldn’t finish that fight against the Archaean faster.

“Noct punching the trees isn’t helping.”

Noct sighed, “Yeah...It’s just I’m suppose to be a paladin, a protector of the people.”

“I have to wonder through,” Ignis tapped his chin thinking, “Why Prompto?”

“Don’t know, don’t care, but we’ll find and save him I swear.”

“That’s the spirit Noct!” Gladio patted his back grinning, ‘Wha? Umbra?”

Noct turned his head, sure enough the dog stood. Noct walked to him but he barked running off a bit and looking back, he wanted them to follow? Noct and the other two followed Umbra a bit away from the post before sitting down lowering his head for Noct to take the notepad. Noct knelt down taking the notebook and opening to the newest page.

“Sorry I have not written sooner, I have asked the Archaean to lend you his blessing. I hope you stay safe, I would hate if something were to happen to you. ~Luna”

“Luna? She had asked the Archaean to do that?” He sighs getting a pen writing back.

“I received the blessing, thank you for your help Luna. And please stay safe yourself.~Noct.”

He put the note back with a sigh as Umbra ran off, now to find out what to do about Prompto. He turns and sees a woman, at first he’s startled but calms, “Gentiana?”

“O hear me king of the stone. By the stormsender’s blessing will the path to the stone be opened. The Oracle goes hence in her King’s name.”

“Luna...Where is she?” Noct asks biting his lip, hopefully near.

“The eye of the storm,” she answers. Noct of course was confused but remained silent, “When covenant is forged, the Oracle and ring await at the Walls of Water. Stray not from the path.”She then vanishes into thin air.

“Walls of Water, she must mean Altissa. So we still have a ways away, besides priority is Prompto,” Ignis looked up feeling a drop of rain as it started to pour down. “The stormsender.”

“Let’s get this power, then we find where Prompto is,” Noct said walking back to the post, “Let’s rent some chocobos to get around.”

“Do you even know where to look?” Gladio asked.

Noct stopped looking around and saw lightning striking one area over and over, “There.”

Renting chocobos they made their way to where the lighting struck, it took an hour to get too. Lighting striking a stone over and over flowing purple. Noct didn’t waste any time approaching the stone holding out his hand, lighting strikes it and then shoots into Noct, he grits his teeth baring it. The light died and Noctis turned seeing another lightning strike the next mark. He gets back on his chocobo riding off drifting off to thought of when he was younger, before things were this bad.

---years ago--

A much younger Noct yawned as a little girl with blonde hair and blue eyes poked his cheeks, “Come on Noct, now isn’t the time for sleeping.”

“But I’m tired,” Noct complained as the girl giggled.

“Have you at least practiced a little of your magic?”

“Yeah, of course.”

She gives a unconvinced look, “Really?”

“Fine you got me Luna..” They both laugh.

---present---

“NOCT! Noct!”Noctis snapped back to attention with Gladio and Ignis giving him a worried look.

“You ok Noct?” Gladio asked.

“Yeah just thinking about the past.”

“Well if you say so, we’re almost there.” Ignis pointed ahead, they were close, how long had Noct been out of it? Noct approached the stone doing the motion once more. The ground rumbled and a very loud exploding noise was heard. They turn and see lightning striking an area once again, there’s the answer. It took a two hour trip but before they go in Ignis stopped him.

“Shouldn’t we rest?”

“No time, Prompto is waiting..”

Heading inside it seemed like a normal creepy cave until they heard a strange hiss, ‘Baaaa..byyyyyy.”

Noct looks around, “What was that?”

“Wheeere isssss my babbyyyyyy.”

“Whatever it is, we’re going to have to fight it..”

Noct sighs, “Of course.” Fighting their way through they reach a large room where a large snake daemon glares at them. The three ready their weapons.

“Where issss my baby?”

“No clue,” Noct answers rising his shield.

“THEN DIIEEEE!” It lunges and Noct holds his shield up sliding back as the daemon hits it. Ignis gets behind it plunging his daggers into it’s scales. It hisses smacking Ignis away as Gladio comes up slashing from the side, the snake spins knocking the three away. Ignis pulls kunai throwing them, the beasts hisses rushing to him as Noct warps up to the back of it’s head killing it.

“No clue what that was about,” Noct pants, “But snakes fucking suck, now come on, it’s ahead.” and sure enough there it was. Noct reached out absorbing the power flinching a bit this time, “it’s done..Lets go.”

Leaving the cave they look up to see the sky finally clearing up, “Guess the Stormsender is done.”

“NOCT LOOK!” Ignis pointed up, an airship was flying overhead heading north.

Noct got on his chocobo, “HURRY! It can lead us to Prompto!” They gave chase.
