Author's Notes: This chapter is an introduction of my OC, Laura Catherine Leonis who is the adopted daughter of Cor Leonis as well as the first chapter of a retelling of the events of Final Fantasy XV from Laura's Point of View. In this chapter, Laura is given permission by King Regis Lucis Caelum who is the father of Prince Noctis Lucis Caelum to join Noctis and three others on a quest that could end up being super dangerous in the long run and Cor helps make sure that his little girl is able to fight by picking her best weapons which are her sword and crossbow.


Chapter One: Born to be a Trusted Friend/Protector of the Chosen King: Part 1 of 3:

As a young woman of about twenty-two years old arrived at the Citadel wearing all black to speak to King Regis Lucis Caelum about joins Prince Noctis Lucis Caelum and their three best friends on their quest, the woman greeted her adopted father, Cor Leonis by simply saying to him under her breath, "Good morning, father. I take it that you are here to try to talk me out of seeing King Regis about asking him to let me go with the boys on their quest."

That got him to immediately respond by very quickly saying in return to me, "Not at all, Laura. I know that you can protect yourself but I do not believe that you are ready for this kind of quest. However, it is your choice in the long run that matters so I will not stop you from leaving Insomnia."

Right away, Laura Catherine Leonis smiled at Cor as she said to him, "Will you come with me then, dad?"

He immediately answered by saying to me, "Only as far as the front steps to the Citadel, Sweetheart. Regis will be nice to you or he will have to let me be at the signing of the treaty if you know what I mean."

They walked together in silence until they arrived at the top of the front steps to the Citadel where I hugged Cor before heading inside where King Regis was sitting on his throne and he said to me in greeting with his usual smile, "Good morning, Laura. I already know what you are here to talk to me about and I already know my answer."

I smiled at King Regis as I asked him the following question, "What is your answer, Uncle Regis?"

He immediately said with his best laugh, "Turn around and tell me what you think my answer is, Miss. Leonis."

Right away, I, Laura Catherine Leonis, turned around and saw my Kingsglave outfit and said in shock, "You have got to be kidding me. Cor thought that you would have said no, Uncle Regis."

King Regis smiled as he walked over to the front door of the Citadel to talk to Cor as he said to me, "You might as well go and help Ignis Scientia and the others with cleaning up Noctis' apartment and packing your things with your adopted father afterward, Laura."

I left out the back door to the Citadel and headed over to Noctis' apartment and knocked on the door which Ignis Scientia immediately opened for me. I very quickly entered as I said to him and the others, "Good morning, boys. Guess who is coming with you four thanks to King Regis?"

Right away both Noctis and Ignis answered by saying with their usual laughs, "You, of course, Laura. Cor looks like he was just given the news since he is currently packing your things for you."

I immediately looked out the window with a slightly worried look on my face as I said under my breath, "Oh, dear. My dad is going to find his birthday if I do not go over there and help him right now! I will be right back over, boys."

After finding his birthday, I ran it over to the Citadel where I told King Regis to have Jared hide it at his place with the help of Talcott and Iris for me before heading back over to Noctis' apartment where my adopted dad had brought my things over in their bags which I was truly grateful for at this very moment. I walked over to Prompto Argentum who smiled at me as I said to Gladiolus Amicitia with my best laugh, "I had to get King Regis to have Jared pick up Cor's birthday present from me so that Talcott and Iris can make the card to go with it, Gladiolus. That is too close for comfort, by the way. Speaking of my dad, let us see which weapons he picked out for me for this quest? Perfect, he picked my sword and crossbow which are my best weapons."

Gladiolus smiled as he said to me in return, "I am so very glad that King Regis is allowing you to bloody hell come on this quest, Laura. Am I correct, Prompto, Ignis, and Noctis?"

The others immediately answered as they said in agreement to Gladiolus' words as they went to sit on the couch for a break, "Gladiolus is most definitely correct on that front, Laura. How is Cor doing right now, by the way?"

I simply answered by saying in return to them as I sit down next to Ignis who covered me in a blanket to keep me warm, "Cor is doing what Cor does best which is being a pain in the ass for both me and King Regis. Noctis, you better hope that I do not end up having to calm down him tomorrow in the morning or so help me, I will personally have Gladiolus here entertain for up to five minutes so that I can get into the Regalia with you, Ignis and Prompto. I do not hold goodbyes well enough to deal with my dad when he is worried about me and you guys going on this quest."

Noctis Lucis Caelum looked over at me with an understanding look on his face as he looked me right in my sea green eyes, "I know what you mean, Laura. I also do not hold goodbyes well enough to deal with my own father let only Cor."

I smiled my usual grin as Prompto said to me in a whisper, "Laura, can I talk to you in private about something?"

Right away, I stood up and followed Prompto outside where he sat down next to me on one of the branches in front of the Citadel as I whispered to him in return, "What is it that you want to tell me, Prompto?"

He immediately answered by saying with a laugh of his own, "Do not tell Ignis that I told you this, but I think that Ignis has a crush on you, Laura. Did you noticed the look on his face when you showed up the first time at Noctis' apartment tonight, by any chance?"

That got me to answer with a grin on my face in return to Prompto by saying still in a whisper, "Of course, I noticed the look of Ignis' face tonight and you better not tell him that I also might have a crush on him as well, by the way, Prompto. Do you understand me completely, pal?"

Prompto Argentum very quickly answered by saying to me with a smile on his face, "Yes, Miss. Leonis, I completely understand you."

Cor laughed as he said to me, "You better hope that you get to tell Ignis before Gladiolus finds out from me about this, Laura."

That immediately got me to response by glaring at my adopted father as I intoned at him in return as Prompto headed back inside of Noctis' apartment, "You better not do that, father! There is a reason that I have not told Ignis that I have a crush him yet and you bloody know it!"

That got Cor to immediately say with his look of understanding on his face in return to me, "You are most definitely correct on that front, Sweetheart but you should tell him sooner then later if you know what I mean."

I whispered to myself so that only Cor only hear me, "I know that already, father. You do not have to tell me that twice."


Author's Notes: There is a possibility of a love triangle between my OC, Ignis Scientia, and Prompto Argentum but hopefully it will not be as bad as I am thinking it will turn out. The next chapter will start with my OC and the boys talking to King Regis and getting into the Regalia. I asked for five to seven days to type up chapters two and three since Laura wants to get this story underway.


A Special Message from Laura Catherine Leonis, Prompto Argentum, and Noctis Lucis Caelum:

Laura Catherine Leonis: Oh, my goodness. I cannot believe that I am going on this quest with you, Noctis, Gladiolus and Ignis, Prompto!

Prompto Argentum: (smiles at Laura) Me as well, Laura. Seeing Cor, your dad helping you pack your things was a sight for sore eyes.

Noctis Lucis Caelum: (laughs as he stands in between Laura and Prompto) If you have any ideas for the author of this story about the way that she should tell the events of the game, please either private message her or leave a review. She will be super happy since she had a plot bunny appear with the idea for this story.
