A/N: Hello everyone! Rumi here~ Some on you might be familiar with me but if not, nice to meet you my fellow Lightis/Nokurai shippers!

I'm very new to this whole fanfiction thingy so my writing skill may be a little bit rusty at the moment. I intended to make this story a oneshot doujinshi/comic but as I wrote the story down on paper, one thing led to another so I ended up making a full-fledged twisted story which I thought I'd share it with you. 3

Before you begin to read, I'd like to explain few things: Everything is set after the ending of Lightning Returns and mid-action of FFXV (probably). Since we still have very few information about FFXV's plot I decided to go crazy with my imagination. I was only inspired by the short length FF trailers and while my view on the characters will greatly differ from some of you, I really hope they will remain likeable to your taste. Anyway I will stop spamming you with my notes. Enjoyyy~

Prologue

The King frowned at the sight of multiple guns pointed at him. He and his fellow comrades stood in the dim light of the meeting room and held firmly their magic swords against the imposing squad of soldiers surrounding them. Regis Lucis Caelum breathed slowly and steadily. One wrong move, and someone, if not him will be killed instantly.

"My old friend… why the fierce look?" the oppressor's eyes glistened, his voice raspy and fiendish.

"One would be, when uncovering a wolf in sheep's clothing." the king retorted sarcastically. His dark humor still as prominent when facing death.

"Oh you hurt me Regis. It's strange how people say you are considerate and…oh what was it again… generous?" the man tilted his head and waved playfully his weapon in front of Regis' nose. The king gazed at his enemy's action absently, his face stoic as ever.

"So how about you live up to your reputation and hand me the thing I need?"

The older man glared "I think you know my answer, Idola. Even my reputation is none of my concern at this moment."

Idola wasn't satisfied with the reply "You know… as much as I'm honored to see the wonderful display of swords from your subordinates, I'm afraid I'm completely outnumbering your men." He laughed and shoved his gun into Regis" neck. "But…since I can't allow you to be hurt right now how about I hurt your people!" Before anyone could react, Idola shoot one of the Lucis' men in the shoulder. Instantly, the victim screamed in agony and fell onto his knees.

"Cor!" The king called. The breath went out of him. It was as if he had been hit by a truck. It was painful to see his trusting man suffering like that. His companions were not feeling any better. Some were quivering in place at the sight of blood.

All of the sudden, a Niflheim soldier barged into the meeting room and alerted his leader about his report. Both of them withdrew to the dark corner to whisper about new orders. Regis merely managed to catch few words like "son" "execute" "right away" and it was enough for him to know the rest of the content. His breath became heavy and sweat drops started forming on his forehead. If there was one thing that could break him apart, it was the death of his only son.

Cor Leonis' locked his eyes on the Lucian king. He also happened to hear more or less Idola's new orders. He knew very well that the death of the only heir would bring doom to his nation. Regis glanced at his royal guard, his anxiousness plainly obvious. Cor understood the meaning behind his leader's expression. "Find Noctis and protect him at all cost".

Despite the burning pain in his shoulder, the guard was resolved to execute his new mission. While Idola was still distracted, swiftly, Cor rose on his feet and ran toward the windows. He took the enemy soldiers by surprised and dodged their bullet with a flawless rapid movement. As he got near the huge window, he grabbed one of his opponent and tossed him toward the others, making them fall in a domino effect. Soon after the wounded man threw himself into the glass, shattering it with his body weight.

Far in the back of the room, Regis could only pray for his son's safety as he watched his loyal guard jumping out of the window, escaping the vicious hands of Idola.

A/N: So it begins... Reviews are greatly appreciated! Since I'm my own beta-tester, I will be happy if some of you could point out errors I made in the story. Once again, I'm not exactly a writer but if things go right I might try to entertain you as much as I can :D
