I don't own Final Fantasy 15, it belongs to Square Enix. I only own my 2 OC characters, Zaltana Stanhope and Alfodr.
Prologue
A few days before the invasion of Niflheim and destruction of Insomnia, inside the throne room in the Citadel…
"The decreed hour is come. Set forth with my blessing, Prince Noctis." said King Regis to his only son, Prince Noctis Lucis Caelum (a slightly fair-skinned, short spiky black-haired, clear blue-eyed crown prince of Lucis who's wearing a short-sleeve steel gray-coloured shirt with a black jacket with skull-motif buttons and 2 pockets on it over his shirt, knee-length black-coloured cropped trousers and black buckled boots on his legs and a black glove on his left hand), who nodded then bowed silently to his father.
"Thank you… Your majesty." said Noctis to King Regis after he bowed to him.
"Take your leave, and go in the grace of the gods." stated King Regis to Noctis.
"Right." said Noctis to King Regis before he turned around and make his way past his 3 oldest friends, Gladiolus Amicitia (a tall, muscular and tan-skinned, shoulder-length wavy black-haired, amber-eyed crownsguard/shield of Noctis who's wearing a short-sleeve open black shirt with a pendant around his neck, long black leather trousers with a small side chain on it and black shoes on his legs, a small black arm sleeve over his left wrist, a large tattoo that covered both of his arms and a long, straight scar over his left eye), Ignis Scientia (a slightly fair-skinned, short, light brown hair swept up at the front of his hairline, glasses on his light green-eyes and advisor/cook of Noctis who's wearing a long sleeve purple and black patterned dress shirt with a long sleeve open suit black jacket over it, long dark grey trousers with a storage pack attached on his left leg and black shoes on his feets and fingerless dark grey gloves on his hands) and Prompto Argentum (a slightly fair-skinned, short, unruly blonde-haired, blue-eyed, freckled-faced gunman of Noctis who's wearing a sleeveless black shirt with several white patterns on it and with a sleeveless open black vest over it, long black pants with a faint pattern of a leopard print on it, short black boots with white furs on them and fingerless black gloves on his hands (with 2 bands on his right hand).
Gladiolus, Ignis and Prompto turned and watched Noctis walked past them with surprise looks on their faces before they turned back to glance and bowed to King Regis then they turned around and walked down the steps after Noctis and all 4 of them walked out of the throne room without another word.

Outside the Citadel…
"Well, princes will be princes." said Prompto after he, Gladiolus, Ignis and Noctis stepped out and began walking down the front steps of the Citadel.
"So much for royal protocol." said Ignis unhappily.
"Not like you had to deliver a formal address…" added Gladiolus.
"Your highness!" Drautos's voice suddenly called out to Noctis, which make him and his 3 friends to ceased walking before they turned around and saw King Regis slowly walking down the steps with his cane in his left hand and with Drautos following closely by his side.
"What now?" Noctis asked his father as he walked up the steps toward King Regis and stopped in front of him.
"I fear I have left too much unsaid." King Regis told Noctis. "You place a great burden on those who would bear with you."
"You're one to talk." scoffed Noctis to King Regis (who turned to glance at his 3 friends).
"I ask not that you 3 guide my wayward son, merely that you 3 remain at his side." said King Regis to Noctis's 3 friends.
"Indeed, Your Grace." said Ignis as he bowed to King Regis.
"We'll see the prince to Altissia if it's the last thing we do." said Gladiolus as he bowed to King Regis as well.
"Yeah, what he said." said Prompto with a nod of his head to King Regis.
"Hate to break this up, but Cor's got the motor running. Drautos, he's in your hands." said Noctis dryly to King Regis and Drautos before he turned and began to walked down the steps away from his father.
"And another thing, Prince Noctis." said King Regis to Noctis (who stopped and turned to glance back at him for the second time). "Do mind your manners around your charming bride-to-be." added King Regis.
"Your Majesty, as well." said Noctis as he bowed to his father for the second time (while Gladiolus, Ignis and Prompto turned around and resumed walking down the steps toward the car). "Try to mind yours around the esteemed royal guests from Niflheim."
"You have no cause for concern." said King Regis in a reassuring tone of voice to Noctis.
"Nor do you." stated Noctis.
"Take heed. Once you set forth, you cannot turn back." said King Regis.
"You think I would?" asked Noctis.
"I need only know that you're ready to leave home behind." replied King Regis.
"Don't know about you, but I'm ready as I'll ever be." said Noctis in a confident tone of voice to King Regis before he turned away from him.
"Take care on the long road." said King Regis to Noctis (who turned to glance back at King Regis for the third time). "Wheresoever you should go, the line of Lucis goes with you. Walk tall, my son." King Regis added to Noctis (who nodded and smiled at his father before he turned and resumed walking down the steps toward his 3 waiting friends and the car, all 4 of them had no idea that this would be the last time they'll see and talk to King Regis).
