like i said. if you wanna suffer ill be happy to watch. but also the only thing i know about ff 15 is that one max0r video which while very funny is probably not 100% accurate to the story

now this is giving me too much power. I'll be happy (and sad) to oblige. And give you a quick overview.

and yeah i doubt that one video is a good description of it. so.

cracks fingers.

One of us is going to end up crying by the end of this. it's going to be me. but you're welcome to join me.

Final Fantasy 15 is the story of Noctis Lucis Caelum, crown prince of the kingdom of Lucis.

The Kingdom of Lucis is facing a crisis as the ever-growing Niflheim Empire is trying to expend and take the kingdom over, at the same time as a sickness called Starscrouge is slowly killing people. When the night falls, daemons come in the dark, and ever since those events have started happening, nights are growing longer in longer.

As the Empire of Niflheim is discussing peace treaty with the Kingdom, a clause is made on their contract to have Noctis marry Princess Lunafreya Nox Fleuret, who's been held captive by Niflheim for about a decade, and who has been Noctis's childhood friend and penpal. She is the Oracle, chosen by a prophecy to be the only person capable of healing the Starscrouge before the sickness takes hold.

King Regis decides to send his son to his marriage-to-be right before the peace treaty is officially signed, accompanied by his three most trusted friends - Ignis Scientia, who's been working as a royal advisor, cook, caretaker ever since they were children, Gladiolus Amicitia, who's been Noctis' bodyguard and royal trainer for a very long time, and Prompto Argentum, Noctis' school bestie who, despite having no relation to the royal family, is the only person outside of it Noctis managed to get close with.

But soon after their departure, the peace ceremony goes array- King Regis is murdered and the Kingdom of Lucis fall to the Empire, now leading a manhunt for Noctis to kill the royal lineage, and recover the Ring of Lucis, a powerful artefact carried through the family that, especially once coupled with the Magic Crystal that is the source of all magic in Lucis, can connect its wielder with the Kings of Old to access tremendous power left by the Gods.

See, there is a prophecy in the Lucis lineage that one day the One True King Of Light, chosen by the Gods, will be able to purge the world of the Starscrouge and Daemons, ending this curse at all cost. and, as you can imagine, this burden will fall on Noctis's shoulders as he goes through his new journey to awake the old gods and reunites the soul weapons of the previous Kings in order to unlock the full potential of his power.

The game mostly plays as an open world where you explore the valley with your besties. There is a lot that is very difficult to communicate that is just about how it feels like a camping simulator. You don't want to stay up at night for too long because Daemons are overleveled and bitch to kill, so you try to level up, do your missions, and enjoy your time connecting with your friends, learning more about them.

From Prompto's insecurities about his place in this journey, to Ignis's unwavering loyalty that would oversee Noctis's protection to the end, to Gladio devoting himself to being the shield even when everything starts to fall apart, you end up caring a lot for this group of misfits who are just trying to enjoy their journey knowing it might be their last.

You spend the game mostly having fun with them. Finding place to camp, new recipes for Ignis to cook, Prompto is constantly taking pictures and selfies to remember the journey by, you stop to every ponds to be sure Noctis can enjoy all of the fishing he can, you meet up with Gladio's little sister, it's really a really heartful game in ways that are very difficult to articulate.

... until shit hit the fan.

You're introduced to the real antagonist of the game, the Empire's chancelor, Ardyn Izunia, who's been pulling the strings all along, while also helping Noctis unlock the powers of the Gods.

And when finally it's time for you to go find Lunafreya for their wedding and hopefully linking the power of the Oracle to the King of Light in order to finally purge it all.....

Ardyn will brutally murder Lunafreya in front of Noctis, killing with her any possibility to stop the Starscrouge and the endless nights around the corner. The death itself is pretty heartbreaking, showcasing Noctis' very difficult time to deal with her loss, and Luna was defined by how she was willing to do everything to carry her duty to the end, so it was really sad.. but Luna was not very well written unfortunately (she appears maybe 15mins in the whole game up until this point) so i don't have as much to say about it :( it was super heartbreaking but yeah... yeah.

During this confrontation, Ignis will lose his eyes trying to protect Noctis, as Noctis was unconscious and Ignis grabbed the Ring of Lucis to ask for the powers of the Gods to protect him, and the Gods burn his eyes off. (it's so hard to properly explain but Ignis becoming blind ends up developping a lot of problems in the plot, of course, but especially in the gameplay. Like you spend the game having Ignis cook all sort of things and exitedly tell you about what he's going to cook today, and then your first campire after this incident you see the only food you can cook is some canned bean and it's just. so sudden in the way to tell you Ignis is changed for ever by it.)

Shortly afterward, Ardyn will create illusions that will push Noctis to push Prompto off from a moving train, resulting in Prompto getting kidnapped and experimented on by the Empire.

all while Gladio is losing his faith in Noctis because everyone is expecting so much from him, that they're their only hope, and yet Noctis is so lost in his grief that he doesn't focus on the bigger picture, while everyone he loves is losing everything around them.

When you finally decide to take down the Empire's HQ to get Prompto's back, is when a lot of truth starts to unravel.

You learn that Prompto is the clone of one of the highest funding members of the Empire, who was created to become one of the mindless drone enemies you fight the whole game, but has been smuggled out of the labs before he could be turned as such - only keeping a mark on his wrist reminding him of who he truly is. As much as Prompto always wanted to be Noctis' friend, he always feared that him being a clone, a failed weapon made by the enemies, would eventually disgust Noctis, and he feared all his life that Noctis would turn against him. so you can imagine the panic for Prompto when Noctis did attack him due to the illusions.

Most importantly though, you learn that Ardyn Izunia is actually Ardyn Lucis Caelum - one of the prince of Olds, the first person who was prophetized to be the King of Light. Bahamut himself, god of gods, gave him for missions to purge the Starscrouge, and Ardyn did just that, and took all of the Starscrouge in the world inside of his body, eradicating it from this world... and when he came to ask what he was supposed to do now, the Gods turned on him and left him to his fate, as he was not the one to actually serve to finish this prophecy. (if i recall correctly they legit say it wouldn't be narratively satisfying. Fuck the Gods, fuck Bahamut, all the homies hate Bahamut no matter the universe.)

Then, as the gods refused to clean him from the scrouge, his brothe, Somnus, tried to kill him before locking him into a magical prison and a magical slumber for the centuries that followed. Somnus became known as the Savior of Lucis, he took the credit for the actions of his brother, and build his kingdom on his ashes, continuing his royal line until Noctis' birth out of it.

When the Niflheim Empire started to come to power, they freed Ardyn, and figured out how to be able to use his power -- Ardyn could unlean the Starscrouge inside of him and have it spread into the world.... and we learn that people who "die" from the Starscrouge actually become Daemons, creature of the night, and the more people become Daemons, the longer the night will last.

And so Ardyn unleashed all of his power, all of his suffering, but himself has been turned into a Daemon at this point due to the sickness ravaging his body for centuries. He only feels pain, and he cannot die, for the sickness made him immortal. So while the Empire woke him up to use him, Ardyn decided instead to use the Empire to take revenge on the descendant of his brother, destroy the world he had sworn to save, and finally by the end, being killed by the True King of Light in the way the Gods will find narratively satisfying.

And finally, as our four companions are trying to escape the forteress, Noctis finds the Crystal, and with all the power he has gathered since then, and prompted by Ardyn telling him that the only way for him to know how to defeat him, Noctis approached it... and was taken in by the Crystal.

In there he met the Kings of Old who told him about the prophecy. The King of Light will pure the world of the Starscrouge and the Demons by taking out Ardyn for good.... but since Ardyn cannot die, his soul will always come back into his body, the King of Light must die as well in order to kill Ardyn's soul in the afterlife once its there.

Noctis therefore learns that by the end of his journey, the only thing that awaits is his own suicide in order to finally put Ardyn to rest.

The Crystal kept Noctis in it for about ten years. For ten years Noctis could do nothing but wait, as the Night fully took the lands over and destroyed everything. Only small camps here and there managed to survive and fight -- and his three friends have been trying to do their best for the people's survival, while being torn apart at the sudden loss of Noctis that day.

When Noctis finally returns, he can meet with his friends one last time. And tell them what awaits him.

youtube

For one last time you team up with your dearest friends, all of them having to be aware that they're walking you out so you can kill yourself to finally bring peace.

youtube

Before entering the final room to the final boss fight, Noctis turns to his friends, and ask Prompto to give him one of the pictures he took. You go through all the pictures you took as Prompto as you decide which picture Noctis will hold on in his last moments, holding on knowing they were the people who brought him on this journey to start with. In there Noctis will share his final words with them.

And finally you leave your friends behind. Finally it's time to fight Ardyn as he himself only awaits for death. Two dead men giving each other a last fight, two pawns by the prophecy made by the Gods, tool in a narrative that never saw them as humans, no matter how hard they clang to their humanity and to the people they loved.

One last final fight, finally killing Ardyn. And watching Noctis climbs on the throne of his father, and empale himself with all of the swords of the previous kings, in order to finish this fight in the afterlife.

And so the game ends. Ardyn is dead. The Starscrouge and Daemons are purged from this world. the Kingdom of Lucis can live on and see better days. And Noctis is dead as well, standing on the throne of his father.

In the last moments of the game you see him in the afterlife where he reunited with Lunafreya. He's holding the picture you picked in the previous scene. Looking over his friends one last time.

And then in case it's not enough you have the DLCs. Ardyn's DLC tell you more about how the Gods set them up for narrative satisfaction to start with. Then you have all three friends' DLC, set at points in game when you don't know what happened to them. But all of them ends with some final goodbye of some sort.

Gladio's DLC is the most underwhelming one in general so i don't really know what to say about it, and it doesn't really have a big payoff.

Prompto's show how he felt, abandonned in the snow when Noctis almost killed him. Having to wrestle with his existence as a clone, and figuring out if Noctis even wants him by his side. This DLC ends on a last conversation between Prompto and Noctis right before Noctis entered the crystal, in which Noctis tells Prompto he hopes he'll be by his side as he'll try to be a good king. Prompto promise he will be, always.

youtube

And then. Ignis' DLC. god that fucking DLC.

You really see the events in which Ignis stole the Ring to try to protect Noctis there, the event that rendered him blind. You see how much he fights out of devotion for Noctis. And you learn that when he put the ring on, the Kings of Old told him Noctis was going to die. Ignis spent his life protecting Noctis. In fact, you go through various flashback of their first meeting. Ignis has to learn that the kid he's protected his whole life, is going to die, and there's nothing he can do about it, because this is the fate that has been drawn on him.

On the first ending of the DLC, There is one last goodbye. Where Ignis wants to follow Noctis to the end and Noctis has to stop him, telling him that he wants him to live on.

youtube

(so that's the scene where i was crying so hard i ended up tripping in the stairs)

BUT THEN Ignis's DLC has an alternative ending. an ending where when Ignis hears the plans the Gods had planned for Noctis, he tells them, screw you. I'm never going to let it happen to him. I'll fight all of you if i have to and i'll save Noctis from this cruel fate you have planned.

And so in this ending, Ignis doesn't let Noctis walk into the Crystal and they work together, in an alternative way, until they can save him and put him on the throne.

and let me be clear: this ending is impossible by the game's lore. It's purely a fanservice fix-it ending, a what if, Ignis' ultimate proof of love that is enough to screw over the prophecy hundred of years in the making.

Where Ignis manages to save Noctis so Noctis can actually live on as the King he was raised to be. For ever at his side.

SO. WELL. WELL. I NEVER RECOVERED.

(and i am in fact crying as i'm writing all of this)

all of that while the main theme of the game is a Stand By Me cover by Florence + The Machine that will forever rip your heart and will leave you crying your eyes out as you finish this game, especially after the true ending, watching Noctis' die, and then hearing this fucking damn song.

youtube

Anyway i never fucking recovered from it. Like, never.

Like, even a summary doesn't do it justice. My first playthrough took me hundreds of hours. I spent hundred of hours with those kids. Enjoying their banters, seeing them protect each other, fight with one another. There's so much of their dynamic that is so deep into the gameplay, the way your companions will check on you during a fight, the moments they'll pause to have a high five, those moments of pure happiness where you know they're having fun by each other's side.

and Noctis being such a good character you really get to love and for what. And for what!!!!!!!! to get him killed by the end???? like for crying out loud. literally.

So yeah that's the speedrun of what FF15 is about. It's about tearing my heart out of my chest, that's what it is. (and others themes but you get my point)

Anyway. Yeah. Here you are. Here you know FF15's story.

and btw there was a little webseries set right before the event of the games, telling you how each of those friendships started. if you ever goot curious through reading all of this, i definitely recommend it. (the playlist is from newest to oldest though so be sure to watch on the right order)

was it worth it.

#*puts hands on my face and starts screaming*#i started a replay not so long ago #it's fun when you try to pretend the ending isn't there #but then you remember the ending in every fucking things you do and you cry :)#any mistakes in the summary is due to me being an emotional mess if i ever did anything wrong #ichareply #ichafantalks ffxv #anonymous #sorry i gave up and posted videos but you will watch them. you will get me. you're welcome.#also if you're here from gbf all the seiyuu are in gbf #in japanese noctis' is Aglovale's seiyuu. Prompto's elmott. Gladio's Deliford. And Ignis is Mamoru Miyano (not in gbf. yet. but you know hi #im more used to the english bc i played in english tho #(mostly bc the subs kept jumping and some banters weren't subbed so i had to compromise)#(the english cast is very good tho)#but yeah. yeah.

Nyx Week 2023… Day 6: Hero!

This prompt is going to show you all a little teaser about Captain Drautos, I have a lot of story planned for the Captain and I’m so excited to share it with you all here ☺️💙

The Kingsglaive very rarely got acknowledgment for their actions on the field, at least publicly, yes, they had medal ceremonies within their order, but there had only been 3 occasions in the Glaives history where royalty and press got involved.

But after the attempt on the life of Prince Noctis and Violet Amicitia outside the school the Prince attended, King Regis had made a point of celebrating the Glaive who saved them.

Nyx was standing outside the throne room, waiting to be called in, Drautos was with him, casually leaning against the wall. Nyx couldn’t help but notice the many medals Drautos wore on his armour, after all, of the 3 public medal ceremonies, 2 had been for him, the last one being when he was awarded 2 medals, Nyx could see them both, one bore the crest of the Caelum family, the other was the crest of the Fleuret family. When the Captain saw him staring Nyx looked down at the floor

“Don’t be so nervous, Ulric, you walk up, get a medal pinned to your coat, and you walk back, that’s all”

“The press have been calling me a hero”

“So have the Glaive for the last 3 years, what’s the difference?” Drautos huffed as he pushed himself off the wall

“Because now it’s them calling me hero, the press, the Prince!”

“Nyx, you saved the lives of the Lord Shield’s daughter and the King’s son, of course they’re going to call you a hero” the Captain was close enough now that Nyx could see the finer details in the medals he wore, and his next question slipped out before he could stop it

“Were you being called ‘hero’ after Tenebrae?” Drautos’ jaw tensed, and was about to answer when he put a finger to his ear piece

“They’re ready for you” he said instead and moved to the door, Nyx stepped up behind him, just before he pushed the doors to the throne room open he looked over his shoulder and smiled “it’s about time someone took my title, Hero”

Safety Net (Whumptober 2023 day 1)

Fandom: Final Fantasy XV Character: Gladiolus Amicitia Rating: M for descriptions of injuries Warnings: Description of a heavily bleeding wound, near-death experience Read below the cut or on AO3 here!

Every King has a Shield. Such is the tradition, born with the very first King of Lucis ago and carried on for centuries.

Gladio was taught from a very young age what it means to be Shield to the King. He doesn’t remember a time when he hasn’t been fully aware of his duties, of his purpose.

It’s a heavy burden to bear, but it’s one he bears with pride. Not everyone understands it - most people don’t. If Gladio weren’t born into the role, into the family, then maybe he wouldn’t understand it either, but as it is, he cannot regard it as anything else than an honour.

That, of course, is not what he thinks about when he takes the hit for Noct. He doesn’t consider what he is to Noct, doesn’t consider that this is his duty, doesn’t resent Noct or the Lucis Caelum line or the Amicitia name. No, he doesn’t think at all, years and years of training and pure instinct propelling him straight into the path of the Aramusha’s blade, mere moments away from piercing through Noct’s chest.

“Gladio!” Noct yells, but he sounds far away all of a sudden, like Gladio is hearing him through a fog.

For a moment, all he can do is stare at the shining blade sticking through his abdomen. He blinks once, twice, trying to understand what’s happening. Then, the blade moves, and Gladio watches in morbid fascination as it is pulled free from his flesh, dripping with blood - his blood.

That, apparently, is all his brain needed to catch up with reality, and suddenly it hurts, gods, why does it hurt so much?

He gasps like he’s drowning, collapsing to his knees. His hands scramble uselessly across his torso, trying and failing to stop the blood from spilling out, but he can already feel himself fade.

“Gladio!” he hears again, and he shakes his head, trying to get rid of the dark spots that litter his vision. Noct. Noct is calling for him, still needs him, the Aramusha’s still standing and Gladio can’t die yet.

The crystalline sound of Noct warping startles him as it appears right next to him without warning, and then there are warm hands on his back, steadying him.

“Gladio, hey, stay with me, yeah?” Noct babbles, frantic, hand trembling as it comes up to rip away what remains of Gladio’s shirt.

“N-noct-“ Gladio chokes out, sounding like a drowning man. Maybe that’s not even such a bad comparison - breathing is unnervingly difficult and everything around him is hazy and slow, as if he were underwater.

Noct pushes a potion into his hand and helps him crush it, but it barely does anything. Gladio’s still bleeding, he can feel the blood spurting out of the wound, but it’s marginally easier to breathe.

Still, he struggles to sit up, ignoring Noct’s protests. He can’t just lie here uselessly, he has to get up, keep fighting-

“Gladio, stay still!” Noct snaps, and if Gladio weren’t so out of it, he would’ve heard the concern in his voice, but as it is, it barely registers.

What does register, suddenly, is Prompto who positions himself between them and the Aramusha. The twitchy, anxious kid people usually clock him as is nowhere to be seen. Instead, he stands like a seasoned Crownsguard, hands steady as he puts a round of bullets into the Aramusha’s rotting body.

It shrieks, enraged, and it’s the last thing Gladio hears before he passes out.

----

When he comes to, they’re still in the mine and Noct is still frantically talking to him, and he can still hear the Aramusha’s blade slicing through the air, so he can’t have been out for more than a few moments.

His body burns with the aftereffects of a phoenix down, and oh. He didn’t realise he was quite this bad off.

He sits up, this time with Noct’s permission and support. The two of them are still being shielded by Prompto standing over them, keeping the Aramusha away from them with well-placed shots.

“Noct, help me up, I need to-“ Gladio starts, but before he can finish his sentence, Ignis appears behind the Aramusha out of nowhere, plunging his daggers into its back with deadly accuracy. He pulls them free, dances out of the way when the daemon whirls around to retaliate, and slices one dagger across its neck.

That’s enough to finish it off. It gurgles and melts into the ground with a hiss, and then the only proof that remains of its existence is a puddle of black sludge on the ground.

Noct says something to him, but Gladio is fixated on Prompto and Ignis, breathless and unkempt from the fight as they hurry over to them.

That’s right, he thinks, he isn’t alone. He bears the burden of being Noct’s Shield, yes, but he’s far from Noct’s only protector. They’re there too - they’re his safety net, a failsafe, and after today, he swears he won’t let himself forget.

It’s a heavy burden to bear, being the King’s Shield, but at least it isn’t one he bears alone.

----

The Proposal — a FFXV Reverse Bang 2022

The Amicitia and Caelum families have been at war for generations. When the head of each mafia decide to end the feud, a wedding will be used as the contract. Gladio and Ignis don’t agree on how to handle the arrangement, but one thing is for sure, they don’t have any say in it.

A reverse-bang collaboration between myself (★twitter) and ZipperNova (☆AO3)! It was an absolute pleasure to work with Zipper and he wrote an absolutely incredible fic hitting so many of the tropes I adore!

Organizations/Affiliations: Kingdom of Lucis

IQ:

When she first came to Insomnia after her mom's death, Stella dealt with her grief in the form of anger and she was very violent--biting, throwing rocks, and even shoving someone down the stairs. She was never formally charged due to her ties to the Royal Family, but an ordinary kid would probably have been sent away. She also has a habit of inadvertently causing property damage when she's older

Etiquette: She is very polite in social situations, and especially when visiting other people's houses or spending time with other people's parents

Secrets: She cries sometimes when she's alone

Regrets: So many things she wishes she'd told her mom

Worries: That the world will never return to normal

Best Dream (Non-Sleep): The Dawn has come, and everyone she loves is alive

TITLE: Until Darkness Descends

CHAPTER: 25

FANDOM: Final Fantasy XV

PAIRING: Ardyn Izunia x Reader

SEC PAIRING: Gladiolus Amicitia x Reader

AUTHOR NOTE: Sorry for the late update, my previous phone decided to give me the middle finger a few days ago, resulting in me losing majority of my data as well as my notes for this story. Fortunately I had the foresight to upload the plot outline on Google docs, but I did not have the foresight to do the same for my chapter outlines and chapter summaries. I actually finished writing this specific chapter I believe ten days ago, but I wasn't able to edit it until now. Between working many hours, and my old phone going kamikaze on me, I just didn't have the time to proofread and upload. The edits aren't perfect, I didn't change much from the first draft so it might sound choppy in some areas, I just wanted to put this chapter out there

Bits of sand crushed beneath his leather boots as he walked away. An angry mixture of emotions rolled off of him like smoke from a heated pipe. Ardyn gnashed his teeth, his fingers twitching at his side, as he ventured towards the airship outside of the resort. It seemed the years did nothing to quell his desires for you.

When he looked at you all he saw was his late wife, the woman he vowed to start a family with, the one he planned to spend the rest of his life with. It irked him to no end. The magitek troopers greeted him at the door, their mechanical bodies whined and clicked as they moved. He took a seat in the copilot chair, the weight of his circumstances sinking his shoulders into the ground .

Seeing Gladiolus touching you, kissing you, whispering sweet nothings to you, caused his hands to blacken with the beginnings of the scourge. Ardyn took a deep breath, the black web receded from his skin. He kept an eye on you since you left Insomnia, watching you from a distance to ascertain if any part of him still held affection for you.

Unfortunately he still did. His stomach turned and he wiped his hand down his face. Clicking on the ignition, the metallic craft roused from its slumber with an incessant whine. Today marked the end to Insomnia’s reign, the day he looked forward to and worked towards since the moment he accepted the scourge. He had no intention of wallowing over you during this promised day.

The aircraft elevated off the ground and made Ardyn feel truly weightless as gravity fell away and collided with the desert ground. He’ll find a way to silence those maddening feelings inside of him. He will destroy Insomnia, end his brother’s lineage, and destroy you. If the past 2,000 years taught Ardyn anything, it taught him that he was a survivor, he will survive the gods, he will survive the Lucis Caelum bloodline, and most importantly he will survive you. Once all is said and done, once the world that forsaken him was reduced to smothering ash, he will find a way to end his immortality.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye. On the previous day your friends collected the gems and just as you expected, the quest was harrowing at best and dangerous at worst. Fortunately they returned with only minor injuries and didn’t require your services. You were in bed when the sun peeked through the window and touched your closed eyes.

You woke up with a groan, the tendrils of sleep releasing you from their tenuous grasp. It was only six in the morning but you didn’t feel very tired, so you got up and made your side of the bed. The cream colored curtains that framed the window danced in the breeze as you left the resort room.

Last night prince Noctis elected to spend the night at the resort instead of in the caravan. You felt the difference. The tendons and sinew that made up your body didn’t feel pulled taut from sleeping on a hard cheap mattress, and you felt refreshed despite only receiving six hours of sleep.

A gentle breeze caressed your cheek as you entered the restaurant section of the resort. The scent of salt was in the air and you inhaled a lungful of the refreshing aroma. There was nobody in the restaurant save for you, allowing you to hear the waves and the seagulls soaring above.

Taking a step onto the boardwalk, you enjoyed the tranquility that settled over the sandy beach. In the distance you noticed a man approaching the regalia. His pointed sandy hair and black jacket made you realize it was Ignis. Cupping a hand close to your face you shouted, “Hey Ignis.” The man turned around in time to see you wave.

He pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose as you approached. “You’re up early, going somewhere?”

“Just to the supermarket.” He said. A warm breeze tousled your hair, delivering Ignis’ earthy sandalwood cologne to your nose. “Altissa is currently experiencing a surge in food prices. I thought it best to reserve what little we have and amass resources before we set abroad.”

“Mind if I join?” You asked. You had nothing else to do but traverse the beach until the rest of your friends woke up. Not to mention, the idea of conversing with Ignis one on one was an appealing thought. He was your adopted brother, and had been for the last six years. While you and Ignis weren’t best friends you did harbor a sort of fondness for him and wanted to nurture the family connection between you.

He turned towards the regalia, its purple and ivory design was glistening under the morning light. “If that is what you wish then I would appreciate it.”Without another word you entered the car and Ignis took off. Your hair whipped about and snapped at the wind like a bunch of angry snakes. In the east, the adolescent sun bleached the changing scenery in shades of yellow.

You sighed and relaxed into the warm seat. The engine rumbled beneath you as stared at the world barreling by at hyper speed. You watched the glittering ocean, the ripples of waves rolling over the greenish blue surface. A lungful of air expands your ribcage, free of the toxins and pollution that was present in the air back home.

This was nice. A part of you missed the outside world, the orange soil, the crystalline ocean, and the clear air. Insomnia was a pleasant city to grow up in, it was wealthy beyond compare, and was home to some of the most impressive pieces of architecture in the world. But nothing could beat the outside world, being able to travel wherever your heart took you, and not being limited by city walls.

“I’m gonna miss this once it's over.” You said. “It feels nice being outside again without…you know.”

“Are you referring to your venture as the child of light? I’ve been meaning to inquire you on that. How was that like?” Ignis asked.

You brushed wisps of hair out of your face. “Stressful.” You answered. No matter how many years have passed you would never feel comfortable enough to divulge everything you went through during that time of your life. It was a festering wound you treated in silence. While you knew your friends wouldn’t see you any differently, you just couldn’t get yourself to open up about it. It was personal, the memories still brought goosebumps to your arms.

“Didn’t have much of a childhood, too busy being mommy and daddy’s wallet. But it had an upside to it, I was able to meet you guys.” You said, deciding to gloss over the more gruesome details.

“And we are fortunate to have met you, Aera.” Ignis replied. “I believe I could relate to your woes a bit. Being the son of the former advisor hadn’t left much room for a childhood. I had to grow up quickly and assume my role, as was determined by my predecessors. It is a burden that Gladio and I share. But it isn’t without its merits. I wouldn’t have forged the relationships I have today if it weren’t for my lineage, and I am grateful to serve my country.”

Fifteen minutes later you and Ignis arrived at the market. The place was bustling with a healthy crowd, chatter filled the air and drowned out the pop song that was blaring through the speakers. You took a step into the brightly lit market, the mouth watering scent of freshly baked bread and herbs grabbed you by the nose and led you through the aisles. In twenty minutes you and Ignis had a cart filled to the brim with food, fruits, chips, and canned goods, courtesy of your selection.

The other half of the cart resembled a community garden, courtesy of Ignis. “Let’s see,” you took the grocery list from Ignis . Most of the items were crossed off save for one, “the next thing on the list is…tomatoes? We’re getting a lot of vegetables, don’t you think?”

“Perhaps, but they are a means to counter the prince’s rather…specific palate.” He reasoned.

“That’s a nice way to put it, think he’s actually gonna eat it?”

“So long as he doesn’t see it, he will.” Ignis answered. You chuckled, imagining him mincing vegetables and hiding them in Noctis’ meal.

“The lengths you go to ensure his health. Well, I’ll go see if I can find those tomatoes for you”. You ventured towards the produce aisle once again, a myriad of reds, purple, and greens captured your attention as you looked for the fruit in question until you found it. Ripping off a plastic bag, you approached the pile of tomatoes and wondered how you were going to package them with one arm.

Your fingers twitched slightly, the feeling gradually returning to your paralyzed limb. Opening the bag with your good hand, you spread it wide and dropped five tomatoes into it. Reaching for the sixth one, it slipped from your fingers rolled away on the polished floor. You grabbed your bag and chased after it, feeling very much like a child running after their runaway ball.

It slammed into a barrel and you sighed when you reached. Before you were able to slip it into your bag, static erupted from the radio atop the barrel. The words, “breaking news”, pierced through the white noise.

One of the men sitting beside the radio increased the volume, allowing you to hear the broadcast more clearly. A woman’s voice broke through the speaker and oozed through your bones like acid. “The city on the hill in shambles. Witnesses report seeing pillars of smoke rise from the city of Insomnia. On the inside an even more grim reality is taking place, fires ravage the streets, buildings are crumbling to the ground. Our on site team has captured an image of the Citadel in flames, which you could view on our website at K7News.com. More on this story after the commercial break.”

A black hole exploded into being in your gut, sucking the color from your face, leaving ashen terror where a smile once was. The tomato rolled away from your trembling hand.
