The fallen inheritance

Author's note:They say that art is a therapy for the heart…

The last two weeks I passed really bad moments, and the last point was the cancellation of the DLC'S and the sudden end of the travel.

But I still love FFXV, Noctis, Ignis and the rest. So I decided to write this story (that has an end and a plot…), but I was anxious and lacking confidence because i'm not an english speaker and only have grammarly to help me with the errors that can show up. So please, bear with me. It's been a while since I don't write long stories (or multi chaptered…)

This is for the people who still writes and love this world and it's characters.

Prologue

In the beginning, first existed the older gods. In the form of creatures, they gave shape to the woods and the rivers, to the sky and mountains. They were six, Shiva the glacian, Ifrit the pyreburner, Ramuh of the light, Titan the Archean and Leviathan of the seas, all ruled by one: Bahamut the draconian.

These goods created the plants and all the living creatures, and, with time, sentient creatures were born, shaped with the form of their gods. They grow in numbers and shapes, like lizards, wolves, rabbits.

In the continent of Eos, the ones blessed by Bahamut created a nation of Lucis, with Insomnia in the center. This country grew along its inhabitants, and for a era, the gods and his childrens were good.

Until one morning, a new race was born, lacking of the special features like the pointy and long ears, tails or fur, and also it lacked of claws and fangs. But these creatures showed great intelligence and capability to adapt to a world ruled by other beings blessed by the goods. For a while, the older races looked after the humes, as they called themselves, and they also mixed, giving birth to the halflings (the viera, the canes, the lupi, the dracones), and that was how the second era shined.

But all eras end. The races fought, the children turned against their parents and the wars erupted. The gods tried to make the humes hear their voices, but it was in vain. They started to outnumber the halflings and the originals, and then created machines to open holes in the mountains, erase woods and subjugate the other living creatures (calling it domestication). They created a nation they called the empire of Niflheim, and since then the nations fought each other...

Notes/guide

After playing FFXV AND playing FFXII ZA, I saw a nice fanart of Ignis as a viera, and then the plot bunnies attacked me. I have the vision of the FFXV cast in the FFXII world, but, this time, Nifflheim is a hume country trying to conquer the other races, and in the middle is Insomnia, the kingdom ruled by a dragon family, and is a haven for all the demi humñan races and those who oppose to the empire.

Dragon: Lucis Caelum bloodline. King Regis was a golden dragon, and Noctis is the last and a black dragon, foreseen in a prophecy.

Ardyn is a red dragon

Eagle/avian type: the Amicitia is one of the most famous member of this race. Gladio is a golden eagle, Iris is a kestrel and Clarus a harpy eagle. Because they're a noble family, is common to them to have arranged marriages and got engaged at the age of 16.

Viera: these rabbit/human always got my attention… I love the design and here Ignis is one of the male side, captured as a child after the forest where he lived was destroyed by the empire. He is rescued by Lunafreya. Aranea is also a Viera, born from a female Viera and hume father.

Canidae (the most common demi humans)

Lupus: the wolf type are the ruler family of Tenebrae, related with the cult of the moon goddess and sea, Leviathan. Lunafreya is a white one and Ravus a black wolf. I don't know if (yet) if Pryna and Umbra have human forms for this story.

Coywolf: a mixed breed, Cor Leonis. They are very common and now respected because Cor became the marshal. They can't use magic.

Coydog: a mix of dog and coyote, created in the empire for their experiments. Prompto is one of them, raised by Cor after he was rescued. I have the image of him only dressing a yukata and using two pistols. He is also besties with Noct.

Prompto may be in love with Cor.
