Chapter 1: NOCTIS!
Disclaimer: I do not own Final Fantasy XV
"How has the chosen king recovered?" An ominous voice emanated from the Crystal.
"He is back to full health but why do you want to know? It's not time yet." King Regis asked with curiosity.
"I wish to speak to the chosen king, so that he knows the responsibility he must hold." The Voice answered.
"He is only a child, he isn't ready." Regis argued with the voice in a desperate tone. Noctis was only 10, he still had his teenage years before he would be ready to journey out and collect his ancestor's power.
"He doesn't have the luxury of time, he must know so he can realize just how strong he needs to be in order to purge the star scourge from the world." The voice stated, a hint of anger in his tone.
"Very well. Cor, go get my son and bring him here." Regis ordered, turning towards the man behind him.
"As you wish your majesty." Cor replied as he bowed before going to fetch the young boy from his tutors.
-With Noctis-
Noctis was seated in the Citadel study bored as he tutor was explaining the history of Eos to him. He wanted to run around the Citadel's gardens pretending he was like his father and slaying monsters. His father had told him many stories from when he had gone on a journey with his friends to collect the royal arms, which were weapons used by his ancestors. The door to the study opened to reveal Cor, His father's most trusted Crownsguard and one of his friends.
"His majesty wishes to see the young prince." Cor informed the tutor who nodded as Noctis walked over to Cor.
"Follow me young prince." Cor instructed the boy, who nodded and followed him as they moved through the Citadel towards where the crystal and King Regis awaited him.
They soon entered the room where the Crystal was kept and King Regis nodded to Cor, who bowed before leaving the room.
"Hello Chosen King, I am Bahamut." The voice announced to the boy whose eyes widened in shock upon hearing the voice.
"You're Bahamut, the Draconian. One of the Six." Noctis exclaimed in wonder as he looked around for Bahamut.
"I reside in the crystal before you, now come close and touch the crystal. I wish to meet you." Bahamut instructed while Regis eyes went wide. Noctis moved closer and reached out to the crystal before Regis could stop him.
"NOCTIS!" Regis shouted as he started being pulled into the crystal. Noctis eyes went wide with fear as he tried to reach out to his father with his free hand.
"FATHER HELP!" Noctis cried as Regis jumped forward to try and grab Noctis outstretched hand but only managed to skim his hand against Noctis's before he was fully taken in by the crystal.
Cor busted into the room upon hearing Regis and Noctis's cry but arrived to find Regis kneeling like he had been defeated.
"Your Majesty what happened, where is Noctis?" Cor asked as he helped Regis to his feet.
"The Crystal absorbed him….no one is to know about this, apart from my council of advisors. It pains me to say this….. But we will….just have to wait until Noctis comes back….." Regis explained to Cor as his hand clenched around his cane.
"As you wish your majesty" Cor answered as he help Regis out of the room as the crystal was locked behind them in the vault it is kept in.
-With Noctis inside the crystal-
Noctis looked around the blue colour void, he had been pulled in here when he had come into contact with it. Noctis eyes widen as he saw a massive figure coming towards him. As the figure got closer he saw that it seemed to be human like and was glad in dragon looking armour with swords shaped as wings.
The figure stopped near Noctis and raised their hand for Noctis to stand on so he could be at head height to the figure.
"Hello, I am Bahamut and you are my chosen king to purge this star of the star scourge." Bahamut Introduced in his deep ominous voice as Noctis gazed up into the helm Bahamut was wearing to see blue eyes looking at him.
"Yes, Luna told me that i am the Chosen King of Light and am to purge the star of darkness" Noctis answered timidly as he looked around as he tried to avoid eye contact with Bahamut, who smiled at the small king.
"Is that all you were told?" Bahamut asked the child in his hand who nodded shyly, still intimidated by Bahamut. "Well for you to be able to defeat the darkness, one more king must die and become part of the crystal."
"No! I don't want dad to die! You can't take him away from me….he is the only family i have left…." Noctis retort to the god, as tears began to stream down his face as he tried to stand tall and face the astral before him.
"It must be done, less the whole world be consumed by darkness." Bahamut retorted as Noctis looked away from him as he tried to wipe away his tears. "While you are here i will be training you for a while till i am able to send you back to the world and to see that you will take your duties seriously as the new king. Also the 13 great kings will also train you in their various weapons."
Noctis could only nod in acceptance; the Astrals were the gods of Eos and thus were powerful beyond belief so they couldn't be defied.
"Very well, your training starts immediately." Bahamut announced as Noctis saw the old kings of Lucis appear before him.
-With King Regis-
King Regis was seated at the head of the table with his council and close friends seated along either side of the table as he held himself steady.
"Noctis… has been absorbed by the crystal…" Regis informed the council who all collectively gasped at the news.
"What does that mean?" Clarus Amicitia, one of Regis closest friends and a part of Insomnia's Ruling Council asked as everyone when silent in preparation for an answer.
"I do not know…. but from now till Noctis returns or I can get an answer from the crystal, no one else can know about this. It will cause mass panic if the citizens were to know that their prince is gone" Regis stated in a shaking tone as he kept himself from breaking down.
"Yes My King" They all answered as Regis dismissed the council and retired to his room where he tried to think on why the crystal would absorb Noctis just so Bahamut, the Draconian could speak with him.
