Lunafreya Nox Flurent was standing in a dark field lit buy thousands of glowing butterflies, in front of the Chancellor of Niflheim, Ardyn Izunia.

This was especially concerning as her last memory before this moment was laying down to sleep in her hotel room.

"Would you change your fate, Oracle?"

Jerking around to her left she saw an extremely tall man shaped silhouette backed by a raging inferno that stretched as far as the eye can see. How had she missed that?

"My fate is to Die for all of Eos, Infernian, I would never be afraid of such a small price."

"And if told you The Draconian's' cruel Prophecy was unnecessary? That there was another way?"

Her breath hitched and she froze. Could Noctis live? Could she? No, people lie to their enemies all the time, she should know, but before she could reply she was interrupted. She turned abit as the Chancellor, who she had honestly forgotten out when she spoke to Ifirit, said:

"What game are you playing now, Pyerburner? The board is set and the pieces almost in place. Why change the rules when time's almost run out?"

"There was no other way before now, King of Solheim."

Spinning to the right at the unexpected voice she saw Gentinia walking towards them from an endless plain of ice. As she strode forward she shifted until she was as tall as Ifirit and when she spoke again it was a Shiva the Glacian.

"When you were granted the Crystal, Ardyn Lucis Caelum, it was by The Draconian alone. None could interfere after your rejection because of the His bindings upon us."

Luna was confused. The Accursed was the Chancellor of Niflheim? He was a Lucis Caelum? The Astrals wanted to help the Accursed? Why?

"What has changed then, Gentle Death?" Ardyn snarled, his face suddenly looking like a nightmare made flesh. Skin gray like a corps, with thick black ooze running down like tears, and sliding down his chin. His eyes had gone from white to black with the irises burned a bright, bitter yellow.

"That idiot dragon broke something again, but this time in a way that will let us make things better than they were, instead of worse."

Luna jumped, wishing they would stop just appearing like that, and looked down. There was a small child? that looked about three or four standing in front of her. He? She? had white hair and was dressed like a court jester in cherry red and electric blue. The hat jingled as they bounced in place.

"Hi! I'm Carbuncle!"

"Nice to meet you Carbuncle, Noctis has told me a lot about you, but not about your human form."

"Nice to meet you to Lady Oracle! This isn't a human form it's a gnome, they don't exist on Eos! I lost access to it when The Draconian broke Eos's connection to the Ether!"

"The What?-No wait will someone pleas explain what's going on? Why is the Accursed the Chancellor? How is he a Lucis Caelum? And what do you mean Bah- The Draconian broke EOS?" She had to cut her self off quickly as saying names in the Dreaming could call the being attached to them, but it didn't stop her voice from rising by the end of her outburst.

"So their is a bit of fight in you, dear Lunafreya. You have been so obedient in your imprisonment lately I had wondered if the Empire had broken your spirit."

She cut him an acid glare and said icily, "I apologize, Chancellor, I was unaware you where ignorant about what happens to disobedient prisoners in Niflheim, especially female ones. I will be sure to keep it in mind in the future."

"ENOUGH." Ifirit boomed "Ardyn will not speak sanely until the Scourge is gone from him, answer for your world Oracle of Eos. Will you Change the Prophecy?

Staring the two gods before her she found her self frozen. What if she made things worse? At least with the Prophecy as it was there was an assured survival of the human race. While agonizing over her decision she felt a small hand slide into hers. Looking down she saw Carbuncle. He gave her an encouraging nod and a wicked, mischievous smile. Recalling all of Noctis' stories of his valuate defender she braced her self and turned to the gods and called her Trident.

"I accept, what would you have me do?"

"Will you accept a Duty that is also a Gift, unknown?" Shivas' question this time, her voice as quiet as the wind over a field.

"I Will."

"Will you accept a Gift that is also a Duty, unknown?" Carbuncles childish voice was eerie in it solemness.

"I Will."

There was a pause like the Planet itself had stopped turning for a moment, and then came the combined Voices of the Three before her.

"THRICE YOU HAVE ANSWERED, AND THRICE YOU ARE BOUND. ORACLE OF EOS CALL YOUR POWER AND FACE THE ACCURSED."

Feeling like she was controlling her body from a distance she raised her Trident and turned to Ardyn, absently noting that he seemed to have been iced over. The thought was quickly pushed out of her head as she felt her self filling with power, until it seemed to be bursting out of her skin as light. And then it built even higher, spiraling up, and up, and up until everything went white.

Lunafreya Nox Flurent opened her eyes to her hotel room, Ardyn sleeping peacefully beside her.
