Prolong: A Glaives End & Beginning
A full moon floats over the ruins of a destroyed city that looked as if it was in a war, the buildings being completely abandoned as if the darkness held many dangerous beings. Though there are a few who would risk their lives to face those dangerous things head on to save as many lives as they can and destroy, even at the costs of their lives as well, however that's rare thing to happen in these dark part of this city.
"*whistle* man no matter how many times I saw this place, it always brings me in a state of aww." A male voiced said as a figure as he walked towards the doors of a huge twin tower skyscraper
As the man stood tall, about 6'5 feet tall, the moonlight gave a full view of his appearance. His clothing almost resembles of a military uniform but different: His black frock coat is open revealing a fitted mesh body suit that covers him from his neck down to his thighs. Long spiky jet-black hair that reaches his shoulder blades with silver dragger-shaped tints on each spike. Long black cargo pants covered his legs being held by a white leathered utility belt, and black, knee-high boots with red soles covered his feet. His hands were covered by black nylon weaved gloves with patches of leather for flexibility and grip, with a Velcro band around the wrist to keep them on. He also has a cross-shaped scar across his right cheek and his eyes are silver colored as well.
This young man is Allen Drocos, one of the few Kingsglavie members how still stayed true to the Crown of Lucis as the empire of Niflheim attacked.
He was there with Nyx as they both tried to protect Lady Lunafreya as well as saw king Regis fighting his last moments against General Glauca for use to escape. At first, the power of kings left the two Kingsglavie, leaving them almost defenseless against the daemons, the Niflheim forces, and the corrupted Kingsglavie members.
After watching his friend Nyx fade away after his fight with Glauca, Allen's spirit was almost broken as he lost his friends & his home. But after an allusion of his friends' spirits telling him to keep moving forward, Allen took up Nyx's daggers and after seeing Lunafreya leaving the city, he decided to follow her and protect her, officially becoming her guardian, which she was thankful for.
But then, a few days on their journey, Allen had suddenly regained them. In truth, he felt more powerful than anything, that he didn't know what to make of it and brought it up with Lady Lunafreya, how had very few theories.
During his time protecting her, Allen had witnessed the amount of dedication and resolve she showed while helping citizens. He had witnessed the great Titan, he saw glimpses of Ramuh. And he swore he saw a woman of ice when Gentiana, the messenger of the gods, showed up from time to time.
Unfortunately, those times of guarding her had come to an end after Altissia happened…
He just couldn't keep up through the entire catastrophe, form evacuated the citizens, to fighting off the Niffes and their machines, to trying to stay alive through the rampage of The Sea Goddess, Leviathan.
But unfortunately, in the end, even when prince Noctis somehow defeating the sea Goddess with the help of Titan, the God of earth, the Chancellor; Ardyn Izunia showed up and stabbed lady Lunafreya, killing her. The last thing he saw was Prince Noctis and Lady Lunafreya being carried away by two men. It was also at this moment some debris dropped hard on his head, knocking him out and sending him crashing into the sea.
He didn't know how long he was drifting in the ocean, but apparently, he ended up near Galdin Quay, and was found by Libertus, a fellow Glaive and someone else he called a brother. But because of how time was short, as the darkness was spreading across the land, they couldn't really work together because of how often they went out to deal with the monster's and Daemons, as well as collecting needed supplies for the settlements.
Thanks to the work he has done, not only did he meet amazing people, but he also became incredibly strong and wise. He had collected materials, food, and supplies from every mission he took as well as collect meteor shards to help power the continent, despite all of the power line and stations being powered.
He had learned many skills from the people he had met; from the fantastic cooking skills and strategies from Ignis, to the Glaive arts from Gladio, to sharp shooting from Prompto, Hand to hand combat from Iris, Lance and aerial combat from Aranea, Vehicle maintenance and upgrading from Cindy, to even weapon creation and upgrading from Cid. Even learning a few sword techniques from Cor "The Immortal". They, in the end, became like a second family to him.
After restoring power to the continent and retrieving the Royal Tombs, He and a few Glaives decided to go to Insomnia to try and find additional supplies and weapons for Noctis' return. Thankfully, there was many in both categories, but there was one thing that truly surprised them, as Ardyn was there at the Royal Palace, without a care in the world and somehow summoned the God of Fire, Ifrit.
The battle was long and pushed Allen beyond his very limits, but in the end, they had won. Unfortunately only he remained at the end. After defeating the fallen God, Ardyn returned to congratulate him, and strangely not mock him. Saying that he truly showed the power the crystal, unlike his fellow Glaives. Before he was about to leave, he spoke a sentence that struck him to his very core.
"Your mother would be proud of you, my son."
After returning to base from his battle he had received a vision of Angelgard and heard a voice of god-like authority, compelling him to journey to the island. After some time to prepare himself and waiting for the opportunity to go to the island, the Hunters had found King Regis royal vessel and made the necessary repairs for the journey.
After everything was done, Allen along with a few Glaives left Lestallum, but not without a send-off from their friends. During the boat ride, Libertus explained to Allen that their fellow Glaives also saw the vision of Angelgard and that set off a few warning bells. Not because of the vision, but because of the implication.
When we reached the island and found ourselves in a large clearing, the Great Astrals appeared; Titan, the mighty God of Earth, Ramuh, the wise God of Lightning, Shiva, lover of humanity and Goddess of Ice, Leviathan, the great serpent and Goddess of the seas, and finally, Bahamut, the Dragon King and God of War.
Before Allen could even do anything, Bahamut had challenged us to combat. Fighting him was very difficult and very different from Ifrit. With Ifrit, Allen truly only had to worry about his physical capacities because he had a very good shield with high fire resistance and he (Ifrit) was weak against ice.
Bahamut, though, was all power. There was no weakness to exploit and his size made it difficult to keep a safe distance from him. Thankfully, they were able to defeat him without casualties, just major wounds and exhaustion. But with his defeat, he proclaimed that all sins that the Glavis committed towards the crown were forgiven.
After the trial, the Glaives headed back to base to both rest and prepare for King Noctis' return, but Allen decided to take a detour. The reason for this detour…? Clouser. He wanted to wanted to know the truth behind Ardyn Lucis Caelum, the man who proclaimed that Allen was his son. It took years of digging up information to actually figure out his true identity, but if what the information is true and Ardyn is his father...
He had taken his custom motorcycle (Think Advent Children, Fenrir for his bike), Rebellion, to the ruins of Insomnia to get his answers.
And that is where we find our hero know, staring at the man who brought the darkness to Lucis, sitting on the King's throne.
He looked to be a middle-aged man with violet-red hair, amber eyes, and strong facial features. His attire consisted of a long, black jacket with a white and gray trim and matching trousers. He also wore a red scarf and a hooded, gray and white mantle. He also had a strange, black, wing-like accessory on his left arm. And finishing the look was a black fedora on his head. This was the Founder King, the Betrayed… and his Father, Ardyn Lucis Caelum.
He looked at him in amusement before speaking "Well, here I thought I wouldn't get the chance to speak to you." Allen's fist clenched at his mocking tone. He then spoke again "*Sigh* You need to learn to relax. You have questions I believe." Allen replied instantly "And you have answers." He smirked, "Indeed I do, but alas, where to start?" He finished with an annoying dramatic flair.
His jaw tensed slightly "The beginning is usually a good place." He answered "Yes, I believe it is. I was once the King of Lucis, but when I tried to save my people by sealing the Daemons within me, the Crystal and throne rejected me. Because of my actions, I was hated by the very people I wanted to protect and gain access to a cursed power, immortality. Thus, thanks to this curse and the hatred of my own people, I decided to take vengeance. So I bid my time, watching, waiting for the perfect opportunity to take direct action." He finished with an amused smile.
I spoke up "And so you influence the empire and made your move." He nodded "Indeed. I was the one who gave them the knowledge of magitech. It also wasn't that hard to influence the emperor, he already had his own plots and schemes for the crystal. But enough about the small details, you would like to know about our connection." He finished with a knowing smile.
He nodded with a serious look on my face "So it's true, your… really my father and I am a member of the Lucien royal family?" He nodded with an amused smile "Yes. I won't lie to you my boy, your conception wasn't one out of love or a spur of the moment. It was mostly my curiosity, a child borned from the blood of kings and darkness of Daemons. I wanted to see what you would become, a fallen king like me, or a bearer of light like the king of yore." Through the explanation, Allen's fist tightened significantly to the point were his fingernails cut through the gloves and cut the skin. His arsenal started to circle around him as it turned from blue to blood red in his anger.
Allen asked harshly "So? What am I!? Am I one of your little Daemon pets?!" Ardyn leaned forward "Your neither, you are something incredibly unique. A man with the body of darkness, but with the spirit of light. You are truly One of a Kind." Allen's eyes narrowed at that but he continued "But, your not only that… you are also my son." Allen's eyes widened at those words. He was still his son?! Even though this man explained that he was only experimenting, he still saw him as his son?
He continued solemnly "Despite my curiosity, you are still my child and thus I kept a close eye on you. I was completely serious when I said that your mother would be proud of you. If it's any consolation... I'm sorry for what I've done to you and not telling you sooner in your life. Everything I've done to gain revenge and redemption is all on me. I wouldn't willingly place that burden on my own child." Allen looked down at the floor after hearing this. His anger subsiding as he was filled with more questions, like; What happens now, where does he go from here?
He then felt something on his shoulder and saw Ardyn standing next to him, with a hand on his shoulder, facing the doors "I've made my choice and I'll see it to the end. But what about you? The gods have forgiven you, the Oracle has blessed you, I'm pretty sure that the Kings of Yore will give you a new chance, into another world. But the question is whether or not can you give yourself that chance?" Allen's eyes widen in shock and question.
"What do you mean?" He asked. Ardyn gave him a warm grin as he answered, "Before Noctis' merged with the crystals my darling brother, your uncle, and the other kings said that if you overcome the trials, that being recovering their tombs and facing the Astrals' test, they will open a portal into another world for you to start anew, begin your own line of lucis, a new chapter for your life. What I wish to know is; what will be your choice?" Allen's eyes widened, another dimension, quite literally making a new chapter in his life? Is that really possible?
He continued "As strong as you are, your mind is clouded with doubts and heart filled with self-loathing. Until you forgive yourself and let go of your pain, you'll never truly reach your full potential. Remember this Allen, for whatever choice you make, remember to walk tall." He finished and left the throne room. Allen just stood there, his head down as his hair covered his eyes.
Until he snapped his head up and glared at the throne. He walked up the stairs and sat down on it and, in a demanding voice, he called "Come forth, Kings of Lucis!" The room darkened and many figures of light appeared before him. He looked towards them until his eyes set upon one of them.
The king's armored helmet had holes on his helmet and two wings on top of it. The back of his suit of armor has something similar to a boney tail, like the Crownsguard does. Flaps of silk covered his legs as two horns emerged from his shoulder guards. This was Somnus Lucis Caelum, The Mystic King and, apparently, Allen's uncle.
Allen spoke in controlled fury "Why did you do it? He is your brother, but you abandoned him! He was only trying to save you all!" He remained quiet until he finally spoke "No matter who you are, everyone makes mistakes. His mistake was his actions, but mine was my inaction. It is as you say, I abandoned my brother when he needed me the most. And for that, I exist with the knowledge that I could have saved him." Allen gritted his teeth in frustration as he heard his uncle's words. Allen spoke up agitated "Throughout the centuries, you could of spoke to him! Why must we suffer for your mistakes!?" He shouted at Somnus. He answered in an almost dead tired voice that seemed to be filled with regret "I... couldn't. I was forever bound to the Crystal, a beacon of light. He was bound to the darkness. The Crystal was once a beacon of hope that shined brightly throughout the kingdom. But when my brother sealed the darkness inside of him, the Crystal cracked and lost much of its power. It needed to be bound to the Kings of Lucis for the light to survive." Allen lowered his head and thought about his words.
Without light there could be no darkness, so as his father sacrificed his light to seal the darkness, the crystal needed a new king to protect its power. In the end, it was an equivalent exchange; his father sacrificed his light to seal the darkness while the crystal chose his uncle to prevent the darkness.
Allen then spoke softly "If you had the chance to make things right, would you do it?" He answered instantly "As a king of Lucis, no I wouldn't... but as a brother, within a heartbeat." His head was still lowered until he asked "So what now? Should I just wait until king Noctis reclaims the throne?" As he finished his sentence, silence prevails the room. The silence ended though when Allen heard a voice he hadn't heard in years.
Now standing before Allen was a figure in lighter armor then the rest of the kings, his sleek helmet was adorned with a horn-like extension on the left side of his face, his body covered by a black cape that too seemed to lean on the left side of his body.
It spoke "Young Prince." Allen's eyes widen and his head snapped up towards the speaker "K-King Regis?" He asked with hope. Regis spoke "Young Glaive, I among many believe that you do deserve this chance into another world. I am thankful towards you for protecting Luna and aiding her in her time of need. I thank you for your work on keeping Lucis as safe as you can despite the circumstances. I thank you for being a Glaive and cutting a path for my son and his friends. For that, we… I… want to give you this new chance in this other world." Allen's eyes swell up with a few tears "Y-your majesty..." He muttered softly.
He continued "Now go, cast away your doubts, for you no longer need them. Let go of your loathing, for those who care for you already forgive you. Know this Young Prince, I have forgiven you as well. Do as your father said, Walk Tall." He couldn't stop the tears from falling as he finally gave his answer "V-Very well I will go to this new world. T-Thank you, your majesty!" Somehow, He had felt even lighter than when He redeemed himself in the Astrals' eyes. The burden He placed on himself for so long just felt... gone.
The room brightens up and he saw Ardyn looking up at him standing next to an open door that looked as if the stars were creating a tunnel. Allen stood up and walked down the stairs and walked towards the portal, but stopped when he was next to his father "For whatever the outcome is, I hope that you can finally rest in peace… Goodbye… Dad." He then proceeded to walk towards his new destiny, not seeing his father smiling and a tear falling from his eye.
