ALSO POSSIBLE SPOILERS IF YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED THE GAME OR WATCHED THE MOVIE.
Final Fantasy XV
When she first laid eye's on her brother, she had sworn to fuck up fate as much as possible for daring to target one of her siblings.
Noctis was two years younger then her. They both looked so alike they could be twins, and anyone who didn't know them (Anyone outside of the city that is) would mistaken them for twins, and even then it was hard to tell who was the elder as she was the same height at him. The same shade of black/dark blue hair, clear crystal blue eye's, nose, lips, and face structure.
She was named Lux Lucis Caelum, The princess of the Lucis Kingdom.
Commonly known as Lulu by her family and close friends.
Currently the princess has been sent out to the front-line's with the Glaives by the reluctant order of her father. She was dressed in a black form fitting sleeveless tank-top, baggy pants tucked into combat boot's, a hooded coat stopping at her ribs with long sleeves, gauntlets that reached her shoulder's. Like her father she had a silver horn jutting out from the side of her head, while different feathers adorned her waist lengthened hair. Not that she minded, Sō'unga was getting fairly restless, and using him against the enemy was an excellent way to spend her energy and time.
"How much longer Crowe?" Lux questioned, swinging her blade and releasing another attack towards the bigger Daemons. After the first few millenniums spent with her, Sō'unga had learned how to absorb powers he thought useful. One of them being able to shape-shift the weapon he was. He was currently a type type of Glaive she favored a few lives ago, it practically being a giant double sided purple blade with a handle in the middle, and a magical jewel at one end to launch her when needed. "Not that I'm complaining, but Lib seems to be getting fairly annoyed." She commented, then spotted Nyx slashing the throat of a Daemon, "And Nyx looks like he's enjoying himself."
"A few more minutes My Lady!" Crowe answered. The best of the best at magic from the Glaives were currently concentrating on summoning a giant flaming tornado to decimate their enemy's. "Shit!" She cursed, gaining Lux's attention, and worriedly looked towards the downed Glaive next to her. "Might take a bit longer."
"Hn." Lux observed them, noting on how tired they seemed to be getting, having to remind herself that they didn't have her ungodly stamina. Nor did they have the natural Lucii Magic flowing in their blood, thus resorting to borrowing her father's, which resulted in more work to use it. "Right..."
[How we doing on time?] Nyx questioned over their com-channel.
"Almost, going to have to hang on a little more Hero."
A sigh was heard from him, [Who told you about that name?] he grumbled, making Lux laugh.
"You make it sound like you could hide such a thing from me." She scoffed, sending out another attack towards a charging daemon. "Almost like we haven't known each other since you were assigned to guard me." she spoke, a fake gasp leaving her lips.
Another grumble before Nyx focused back on fighting.
"READY!" Crowe yelled.
"All Glaives, I repeat, All Glaives fall back." Lux commanded, walking towards the railing of the wall and jumping onto it. She stuck Sō'unga into a crevices and focused on her magic, commanding thousands of glowing chain's to come out of her back, and shoot out towards the farthest Glaives that was nearest the attack. She wrapped the chains around them and started pulling them towards safety. So very useful. She mused, glancing at the chains she had modeled after the famed Uzumaki clan. Watching the pillar of fire come to life, Lux had the thought that maybe she should have summoned Dante, Vergil and Nero for this. They were daemon hunters afterall, they'd be perfect for this. Too bad that would raise questions. Should have chosen something other then summoning, like the Rinnegan. That would have been useful. Although, having her summoning become mixed with the Lucii magic was amazing. She wasn't sure what anyone would gain if she decided to share her magic like her father and brother did, but it would probably be interesting to witness.
She also didn't think her people would appreciate her summoning half-daemons.
"Everyone alright? Anyone hurt?" She questioned, receiving negatives.
"What the fuck is that?!" someone yelled, making her look to where he was pointing. Her brows shot up at the giant Daemon Niflheim was sending in.
She and the Kingsglaives watched as the Daemon was released, as it tore through enemy and allies alike with ease, and headed their direction.
"Huh." she hummed as her comm buzzed, the orders to retreat heard. "It's not that difficult." She muttered, but turned anyways and started to head back.
"NYX!" Crowe yelled, heading towards the Daemon when another Glaive caught her and started to pull her away.
Lux paused at hearing the name, "Nyx, what are you doing?"
[Libertus is stuck under some rubble.] was his answer.
She sighed, "Please be careful. And do come back, It would be boring without you two at the castle."
A laugh, [Anything for you Princess.]
"Well, don't you seem grumpy today?" Lux questioned in amusement, seeing a disgruntled Noctis coming out of the dining room. She had arrived back earlier that morning, happy to be back with her family.
"Lulu!" The prince said, his earlier frown melting into a loving smile. He quickly jogged towards her, pulling her into a hug with a small laugh at her huff. "I missed you." He commented, looking around and noticing that there was no Glaives hovering around his sister. He blinked, "Where are your Glaives?" he questioned.
It was well known that his sister was loved by the Kingsglaive's, when their father had made an order to have his sister protected 24/7 when she was ten because of what had happened after Tenebrae (despite that she could and did protect herself) he had gathered everyone along with the castle guard and asked who would be willing to sign up for it.
More then half of the Glaives scrambled to sign up, along with the majority of the Guards, bickering on who got what shift. On who she liked more, and obviously they were more qualified for it then the others.
Lux and Regis had been amused to no end, watching the almighty Kingsglaive's act like children on who got first shift with Princess Lux.
Nyx had crowed in victory as he was able to battle his way to the list and sign his name down for the shift, along with taking some of the other more lengthy ones that immediately had others protesting. Nyx had just grinned smugly when the king stated that he had never said they could only take one shift, so Nyx's claims were valid in his eye's.
And while everyone had been occupied with Nyx and his sneaky tactics, Cor, Crowe, Libertus, and Pelna had slithered thier name's in for the next best shift, amusement sparkling in their eye's as everyone did a double take on what had just happened.
Thus, more protests.
Which had let Prompto- who had come in along with Noctis and the others- to go up and put down both his and Gladio's name's for shits and giggles.
Regis had actually gotten a servant to make popcorn so he and his children could watch the happenings.
"Father has the majority of them recuperating from the long fight." she answered with a small smile. "Nyx has been reassigned for the time being as he had disobeyed order's."
"Huh." He hummed, finding it weird that she was actually alone for once. "What's he doing now?"
"Gate duty."
Noctis snorted. "That's gotta suck."
"Mhm." she hummed, "So, do you have anything to do today?"
Noctis thought and nodded his head. "Yeah, some training with Gladio for the morning, and Ignis wanted me for something- probably to test his food again- and then Prompto and I were going to the mall." he listed, "Other then that, no."
"Ah. Alright then." She shrugged, "Maybe tomorrow then?" she said, skipping down the steps towards the front.
"And where are you going?"
"I'm going to go and bother Nyx. He's gotta be lonely without me there!" she said dramatically.
"That poor man." Noctis deadpanned.
"OI!"
She was with her father as the council talked about the recent battle. Since she had been there first hand, Lux had informed them of the daemon's along with their attempt to kill of a good majority of their Glaives, luckily she had erected a barrier to stop the attack's, thus only a few minor injury's.
And then a guard had come in, informing them that Niflheim had sent an envoy.
This made both royals lift a brow at the audacity.
Lux tilted her head at the man who came in, with not a care in the world, and announced himself. She was surprised at how confident the enemy was as they had sent their chancellor, I don't see why when they failed to kill many. She mused. Blue eye's blinked at the intense look a man with red-violet hair was giving her.
"Hello there, It is a pleasure to meet you Princess." Ardyn stated, taking his hat off and bowing, amber eye's sparkled in interest and mischief. His lips quirked a bit, eye's seeming to roam his eye's up and down her figure, as if to look for something.
Lux gave an amused smile, "Hello to you as well. You are an interesting...man...I suppose." she stated, noticing the aura around him. She didn't think there was another immortal here.
"What is your purpose here?" Regis demanded, not liking the look he was sending his only daughter.
Ardyn smirked before telling them of the treaty and of the conditions.
One of which was to marry off the royal children to the former royalty of Tenebrae.
Noctis blinked at the watery eye's Lux was giving him. "Eh? Lulu whats wrong?"
"I believe," Ignis started, laughter in his voice as he spoke. "That Princess Lux is getting so emotional because you getting married Noctis." he stated as they walked the halls towards the entrance.
"What?" The prince giggled. The group started to walk towards the front of the palace, where their ride was waiting to leave. "Why? You're getting married yourself!" he sighed with a small frown. His sister had been arranged to Marry Luna's- his fiance- elder brother, Ravus, their wedding was on the same day as the treaty signing, right after it in fact. He would have been more miffed at someone marrying his sister, if she wasn't already deeply in love with the guy.
"Well, yes, but I don't have to travel to a different country to get married. Unlike you." She pouted, "I'm going to miss it since Ravus and I shall be on our honeymoon."
Noctis grimaced, "Ok. Don't want to know that."
Gladio smiled at the princess, wagging his brows, "Excited to make some heirs, eh?"
"Gladio! Dude!" Noctis scowled.
"Of course. I cannot wait to have children!" she exclaimed, "I'm not sure if I'll become pregnant right away-"
"Oh six." Noctis grumbled, looking green.
"But I have been reading some book's about sex and other such things to prepare myself."
"Urgh- Lulu-!"
"Sex education is important." Ignis nodded, "You should know the limit's of your body after all."
"IGNIS!"
"Why are we talking about this?!" Prompto squeaked, face flaming red as he seemed to debate on jumping out of one of the windows.
"BY THE SIX PLEASE SHUT UP!" Noctis yelled when Gladio opened his mouth to speak. He flushed red as they arrived outside, spotting Cor next to the Regalia with a quirked brow in question as to why Noctis was flustered. The young adult just huffed and looked away. "Hey Cor."
"Hello Cor." Lux greeted, gliding down the steps and giving the man a hug.
"Princes Lux, Prince Noctis." He responded. "Nyx should be here within the hour, so until then, you're stuck with me." The two turned when Regis came out, calling for Noctis, and sighed at the irritated look the prince was giving his father.
"It is a little late to be in his rebellious phase, isn't it?" Lux mused.
Cor gave her a look, "A phase is it? The he has been in this phase since he was a child." he muttered, gaining a giggle, before straightening up as Regis and Noctis came down the steps. Both bid Noctis one last goodbye before the prince and his entourage drove off.
Lux watched the disgruntled face of Libertus and Nyx through the mirror as she was fitted in her wedding dress. She chuckled a they resorted to playing Kings Knight on their phones.
"Hey, Princess, do you know what mission Crowe went on?" Libertus questioned.
"Libertus-" Nyx sighed.
Lux waved her hand at him, making him stop in his lecture. "No, all I know is it has something to do with Lunafreya, and that Father had entrusted Drautos to pick the Glaive he thought best for the mission." she informed, turning when instructed. She glanced at them, "Why? Is something wrong?"
"No, no, just-" Libertus started, a frown on his face. "I thought it was strange that they would send her out- one of your guards- when we're so close to the wedding and all that."
Lux frowned at that as well, she had thought it odd that out of everyone, they would pick one of her only able guards. "...Yes...I see what you mean." she then smiled, "It should be fine, she was wearing the bracelet wasn't she?" she questioned, seeing said matching bracelet's on Nyx's and Libertus' arms. Seeing their nod, she shrugged her shoulders, "Then she should be fine. If anything happens to her, then it'll activate and send her to the safest outpost nearest to her location."
And with that, the two men relaxed.
"Hey- wait a minute, why isn't Pelna here?!"
The day of the signing had come and Lux was with her father, staring out the window at the gathering crowed.
She sighed, checking over her white form fitting wedding dress. It was off the shoulder's, a sweetheart neckline, clothe and jewels around her neck with a small silver chain connecting it to the body. It cinched at the waist, a silver ribbon loosely tied around it, and flowed to the floor with a medium fishtail train. The veil was long and covered her face and most of her upper body, obscuring her features form her future husband.
"I never thought the day I see you in a wedding dress would come." Regis commented.
She smiled, moving her veil aside and showing her smiling face to him. "Neither did I, what with the way you and Noctis treated any man who showed an ounce of interest in me." she said, amusement evident in her tone.
Regis huffed, "I had to make sure they were worthy of your attention!" he defended himself, "A man who cannot even look me in the eye's and tell me their intention is worth your time."
"You are the king. I doubt many want to confront their king." Clarus, who had been silent, pointed out dryly.
"Pah! Cowards, the lot of them!"
She quirked brow, "You came at them with all of you weapons floating about you."
He waved his hand in dismissal. "Details."
The doors to their room opened just as Clarus was about to dispute that, making the three look towards the messenger. "My King, a Glaive has come and demanded an audience with you!"
Regis looked bewildered, "Demanded?"
And then Nyx had burst into the room, explaining about the ships they had found and how Lunafreya was missing. Regis had given the command to send out the glaives, turning to his long time friend and discussing what they were to do during the signing.
Nyx, who had been relieved at the given order, had glanced towards his princess and had to double take.
He had not been happy with the announcement of his princess getting married. Granted, being in love with her was probably the reason as to why, but a part of him had been suspicious of Ravus. The boy had been in the hands on Niflheim for twelve years, and harbored a great dislike to his king. He was afraid that- with this new information of Niflheim planning an attack- that Lux would be heartbroken from the betrayal.
He could only hope that Ravus was ignorant on what was happening. Because he could already see the worry setting into her eye's, the beginning of despair at the thought that the man she loved was apart of this.
He would kill him if he was involved.
"Nyx." she called as he started to leave.
He stopped, turning towards her worried frown. "Yes, My princess?"
"Do be careful. We have a traitor within the Glaives." She informed, making everyone pause and look to her in shock.
"What?" Nyx asked.
"Are you sure Lux?" Regis demanded.
She nodded "I had moved Luna from her assigned room, to one that was only accessible by a Kingsglaive, to keep her safe until we could bring her to Noctis. Yet, seeing as how she was taken..." She trailed off.
Nyx frowned, "Then it was a Glaive who took her to the fleet. Who knew it was there before anyone of us." he clenched his fist at the thought of a traitor.
"Nyx Ulric," Regis began, his face set in silent fury, "Eliminate any traitors you find, show them that we have no mercy for those who abandoned their Hearth and Home."
"As you wish." Nyx nodded, turning and making his way to the Kingsglaive barracks.
Lux stared blankly at the Ring of Lucii in her hand.
It had been hours since she and Nyx had escaped the fallen Insomnia. Her father had given the ring to her for safe keeping, transferred Nyx and Libertus out of the Kings service and into the Princess', thus allowing the two to keep their magic to protect her and Luna.
She had learned that quite a few of the Glaives had turned traitor, the bracelets she had given every single Glaive activating in a different way. Transporting the wounded to her the nearest safe house, while burning those who betrayed the throne. Some were able to rip them off quick enough, but most traitors were dead.
Her father had died to give them time to escape, the remaining city and Kings guards aiding where they could. They had ignored the order from Drautos to go to district D, and as they were making their way out towards the city gate she had put on the ring to awaken the old wall when Daemons were being dropped in.
The Lucii were not impressed by her, by conceded to the fact that she was determined to protect the promised king, thus allowing her to awaken the wall.
They had quite the shock when she didn't die.
Luna had broken off from them before halfway to the gate, making her way to the Six gods and try to convince them to help the Future King, the fact that Niflheim was under the impression that the oracle had the ring only made her more determined to leave. It would give them the chance to find Noctis and give him the ring while Luna was gathering the gods.
Lux had suppressed the turmoil of emotion raging inside of her, this wasn't the time to mourn her father, to mourn that the man she loved had betrayed her...
Had stolen her sight.
That her people were scattered...
...If Noctis was alright.
They had arrived been transported to the safe house by the bracelets after a nasty attack on their person, being greeted by the remaining Kingsglaive, along with Crowe and Pelna.
"My father, King Regis, has fallen to give me the chance to escape with the ring." She stated, holding out her hand and showing it to them. "Lunafreya is currently traveling to beseech the Six for help, and to act as a distraction from myself until we find Noctis." she pursed her lips, "You all served my father, thus if you so desire, then you may leave if you wish. Insomnia has fallen, and it will be some time before my brother is ready to amiss an army to take it back. I only ask that if you stay, that you be careful."
She was a sight to see. The princess they loved still in her wedding dress, which was splattered with blood, dirt, and charcoal. A rip was made to the side of the dress, allowing her legs more freedom, heels had been discarded long ago, the veil missing and showing the bloodied bandages around her eyes and disheveled hair. Cut's, bruises, bandages, and dirt covered her skin showing she had been fighting.
Crowe scoffed, coming up to her, and got down on one knee. "Your highness, I will follow you until the end."
Another did the same, "Until the end, Highness!"
One by one the remaining Glaives knelt before her, pledging themselves to her, until they were all waiting for her response.
Libertus joined them, smirking, "Can't get rid of us that easily."
Nyx stood before her, "Prince Noctis may be next in line, but the Glaives stand with you, My Queen."
Lux was flummoxed for a moment, before smiling at them. "I shall not fail you."
She was in one of the royal cars she kept at the base when the news of Insomnia's fall was reported, along with the announcement that they had killed Noctis.
Nyx- who had been driving- had quickly turned off the station.
But the damage had been done, Lux couldn't cope with the fact that they had gotten her brother, and she broke. She had cried for day's, and the four Glaives let her, knowing she would be better once it was all out. Pelna had given serious discussion on them having the life of the last Luci Royalty in their hands. Crowe hadn't believe that Noctis was dead, but Libertus had pointed out that they hadn't been in contact for day's after he had left. That left them thinking that Noctis was probably the first casualty, as no one knew how long the fleet had been out there.
No one wanted to suggest that, while Lux was excited about her wedding, Noctis had died not far out from the walls.
Glaives had flooded Nyx's new phone with worry about Lux after they heard the news. Lux had assured them herself that she was fine, and to instead focus back on their given tasks, once she hung up she gave a pain filled smile to Nyx. "The enemy waist for no one, so let's go."
"What do you mean there are no ships?!" Libertus demanded to the man.
Nyx sighed, he should have known that it wouldn't be that easy to get to the city. He eye's the man who had told them, and was currently riling up Libertus, with scrutiny. He didn't like how the man was trying to look at Lux's face. She had spare Kingsglaive clothing in her safe house, for any glaive who was hurt and found themselves transported to one of them. The fact that she had gone so far as to get exact copy's of not only her own, but their uniforms as well, made the Glaives love her more, especially Nyx as he was fond of the ribbons on his own.
She currently had her hood up, covering obscuring her features.
Not that she needed to anymore, as the scar Ravus had given her had spread down to her cheekbones, thus making her look different then Noctis.
"Just as I said, Niflheim closed them off a week ago. They were looking for two people, a girl and boy. Twins I hear." the man- Dino- stated, leaning to the left to Libertus trying to get a good look at Lux. "Heard they also closed the gates leading out of the area too."
Crowe grabbed Libertus' arm, "Thanks for the information." She said while dragging him away. The other made to follow her, but stopped in their tracks Dino spoke up again.
"Should I tell them you stopped by, your highness?"
Nyx had immediately pulled Lux in the middle of the group, summoning his blades, and holding it up to the mans throat.
Dino lifted his hands up in surrender, not at all fazed by the actions.
"Give me one good reason as to why I should not order you to be killed." Lux stated calmly.
"Because I'll be able to tell your brother that you're alive."
Lux gasped, stepping out from the circle she was in, and leveled her face from where she could hear Dino speaking from. "Noctis?" she questioned, lips trembling, "My brother is alive? If this is some trick so you are spared then I will find you and make you beg for death."
Dino gulped, getting a glimps of bandages under her hood, and the sight of scars peaking out from them. "Y-Yeah, he's alive. He went kinda crazy when he heard you were 'dead'. His buddies had to knock him out from making a scene."
"And where is the prince then?" Pelna questioned, a relieved that their future king was alright.
"Dunno, but they come back every once in a while to do some favors for me, bounty's, and to fish sometimes. Don't know when they'll be back, but if you wanna try and catch up to him then I heard they were trying to make their way to Lestallum."
Lux pondered this for a moment, before nodding. "You will not say a word about us to anyone but my brother if you see him?"
"On the threat of death, yeah. And do you mind a Picture? Just to show him that I'm not lying I swear!" he added hastily to the look Nyx was throwing him.
She nodded once, gesturing for Nyx and the rest to gather around. Once the picture was taken she had them heading back to the car.
"Are you sure you can trust him highness?" Nyx questioned.
"He had the chance to tell Niflheim of my brothers whereabouts, yet he did not. And I sensed no lie from him."
And that was that.
A few hours later, Dino saw Prince Noctis coming up to him and giving what was requested. Rotten luck. He thought just as Noctis turned to leave.
"You know your sister was here."
The group froze, before Noctis quickly rounded on him, face a mix of fury and a smidgen of hope. Before he could blink, Noctis had his sword at Dino's throat, the latter starting to get the feeling that he should learn to dodge more.
"Whoa man, Joking around like that about Princess Lux? Not cool." Prompto frowned. He had started to like the guy, but pulling something like this, when they had finally gotten Noctis to calm down, was not alright. It was just a dick move in his opinion.
Even Ignis, the voice of reason, looked fairly peeved at Dino. "Though you a better man then that."
"Sorely tempted to let Noct stab you right now." Gladio commented, crossing his arms and glaring at the jeweler. "You don't pull shit like that about someones sister." he could kinda understand what Noctis was going through, he had a sister himself, and would probably go mad if she had died while he was off having a good time with his friends.
"Now, now, none of that fellas." Dino gulped nervously, "Told her I would-" he squeaked when Noctis growled, shoving his sword forward and nicking the mans neck.
"You better shut your mouth before I rip you goddamn tongue out, and shove it down your throat." Noctis threatened, eye's watering at the memory of calling Cor, and being informed that his father had died to give Lux time to escape. On how he had witnessed Lux trying to shield a badly wounded Nyx from an attack, before being engulfed in flames, which destabilized the building behind them and causing it to fall onto them. Cor couldn't do anything, since Regis was dead the magic he gifted his Kingsglaives and friends disappeared.
Leaving the man to witness the death of the Princess, along with the man that many in the palace knew loved her.
"My sister...is dead. And you taunting me with such lies is pissing me off." Noctis grit out.
"PHONE! PHONE!" Dino yelped, "DIDN'T THINK YOU WOULD BELIEVE ME WITHOUT PROOF! WE TOOKAPICTURETOGETHER!"
A moment of the group staring at Dino, before Ignis searched the mans pockets and pulled out his phone. Turning it on, he opened the most recent picture and gasped.
Gladio looked at him, "What is it?"
Ignis gawked for a bit, mouth opening and closing, before smiling and showing the three awaiting men Dino's phone.
There, on this very dock they were standing on, was a group picture of Nyx, Crowe, Pelna, Libertus, and Lux. Nyx was to her right, an arm around her shoulder's, Crowe to her left with a small smug smile, Pelna behind Crowe with a wave, and Libertus behind Lux waving to the phone. Lux herself was smiling slightly, as if unsure about taking the picture, but made a small wave in hello.
Noctis let his sword disappear, taking a trembling step to the phone. "L-Lux." he croaked, tears streaming down his face as he grabbed the phone and stared at the state his sister was in. He felt angry at the obvious wounds he saw, wanting to know who had done it and if they were dead yet, before bone melting relief and happiness washed through him. He slowly fell to his knee's, still clutching the phone, and let out a joyful laugh. "Lux! S-She's alive!"
"When was this taken?" Prompto questioned, relieved that a few more people they knew survived.
Dino, rubbing his throat, looked at them. "An hour or two ago? Maybe? She came to find a boat to Altissia. But then I told her how you were alive and heading to Lestallum, so she went to try and catch up."
"We literally just missed her." Ignis pointed out.
Noctis quickly got up, giving his phone back and ran towards the car. Gladio and Prompto quickly following with Ignis thanking Dino for the information.
Once out of sight, Dino sighed in relief. "That was scary."
"Indeed?" a voice said in amusement.
Dino jerked, looking around and found no one.
"Now then, I couldn't help but overhear that you know the whereabouts of the princess, yes?"
Dino paused, then slowly looked up and found a man with red-violet hair grinning lazily down at him from the level above. The man quickly jumped over the railing, and landed in front of Dino, caging him in with his arms. His smile grew sinister, making Dino pale.
"I would very much like it if you could tell me where she might be."
Dino gulped, "W-Who are you? And what do you want with her highness?"
"Ah, forgive my rudeness, I am Ardyn Izunia. And what I want? Well, she's such a beautiful woman, now isn't she? Wouldn't you just love to see her corrupted and broken?" he chuckled, grabbing Dino's neck and slamming him into the seat. He leaned in, smile becoming more twisted, "Now, about that location?"
