Chapter 1 Separation
Noctis' POV
My dad ran through the halls of the Citadel as he held onto my hand and pulled me along.
We stopped when Ignis ran up to us.
"Your majesty", he said.
"Ignis", Dad started. "Take Noct and flee!"
"What about you", I asked.
Dad didn't answer. Instead…he summoned a weapon before kneeling down besides me.
"This is the Engine Blade", he revealed. "I was going to give it to you on your sixteenth birthday, but it looks I will have to give it to you now instead."
"But why", I asked.
"There is one more thing you must take with you", my dad said.
Then, he put something in the palm of my hand.
"Your ring", I asked in confusion.
"The Ring of Lucii", my dad added. "Safeguard it, for you will need it in order to fulfil your destiny."
"What destiny", I asked in confusion.
My dad put his hands on my shoulders before giving his answer.
"My son", he started. "You are the chosen king that will purge our world of its darkness."
"What do you mean", I asked. "I don't understand."
"Someday, you will", my dad replied.
Then, he placed his forehead on top of mine.
"Remember Noctis", he started. "I will be with you, always."
After my dad said this, he removed his forehead from mine.
"Walk tall, my son."
After my dad said this, he stood up and looked at Ignis.
"Ignis", he started. "Please take good care of my son."
"Of course your majesty", Ignis stated. "I will take care of him. I promise."
"Good", Regis said. "Now go! I will hold them off!"
With that, my dad turned around, summoned his weapon, and ran back down the hall.
"Dad", I yelled out.
I tried to run after him, but Ignis grabbed onto my wrist and stopped me.
"No Noct", he yelled. "We must leave! Now!"
With that, Ignis started running in the opposite position, pulling me along with him.
I looked down the hall, and saw my dad one last time in the distance.
Ignis pulled me down another hall, where we were blocked by MTs!
Just when they were about to attack us, the MTs fell down…and Gladiolus appeared behind them.
"Gladiolus", Ignis said.
"Let's get the prince out of here", Gladiolus said.
Then, the three of us continued to run down the halls of the citadel.
We ran past my room, and I ran into it.
"What are you doing", Gladiolus asked angrily.
"I need to get something", I replied.
"Leave it", Gladiolus commanded.
I ignored him before opening my desk draw, and finding a notebook inside of it.
I grabbed the notebook before running up to the other two, but when he did…another group of MTs appeared!
Luckily, this group was also taken out by someone before they could attack.
"Marshal", Ignis said.
"Let's get you guys out of here."
…
Cor led us to the Regalia.
"Get in", he commanded. "Quickly!"
With that, we all got into the car.
It drove away, and I saw my home in the distance one last time.
