Chapter 2 The Starry Knight
Third Person POV
Ten Years Later
In the crown city of Insomnia, a teenage girl was being held down by Niflheim soldiers. A crowd had formed around them.
"I'm not who you think I am", the girl exclaimed. "I know nothing of the Lucis royal family!"
"Please let my daughter go", the girl's mother pleaded.
"Silence", one of the solders demanded. "This girl is suspected of knowing the whereabouts of Niflheim's number one fugitive, Noctis Lucis Caelum, the last surviving member of the Lucis royal bloodline."
"I don't know where he is", the girl stated. "I've never even met him before!"
"Silence", the soldier demanded again. "Take her away!"
With that, the a group of MTs were about to take the girl away, but before they could…one of them was suddenly pierced with a blade. The Engine Blade to be exact.
After this, a cloud of smoke suddenly covered the area.
When the cloud disappeared…a young man appeared where the blade had been thrown.
This man wore extravagant black clothing, a hood that covered his hair, and a mask that concealed his identity.
"Who are you", one of the soldiers asked angrily.
"It's the Starry Knight", the girl said in relief.
"The Starry Knight", one of the soldiers asked in confusion.
"I've heard of you", another one of the soldiers revealed. "You're that masked vigilante that's been causing trouble, aren't you?!"
The masked man did not answer. He charged at the solders, and easily took out the MTs.
Then, he cut the girl free.
"Thank you so much", she said. "Mom!"
With that, the girl ran into her mother's arms.
The masked man threw his blade at a high wall before another cloud of smoke engulfed the area.
When the smoked disappeared, the masked man was now on top of the wall.
The crowd cheered for him.
"He moves so quickly! Like a shooting star in the night sky!"
With that, the man made his leave.
"After him", one of the soldiers commanded.
When he did, another young man, who was wearing a hoodie to conceal himself, through silver balls by the soldiers feet, making them slip.
"Serves you right", he stated.
Then, he ran, and caught up with the masked man.
"That went well", he stated.
"It's not over yet", the masked man pointed out as he gestured to the soldiers that were chasing them. "Split up!"
With that, the two men started running through different alleys.
Elsewhere, a now grown up Ignis was buying ingredients.
"Thank you very much", he said to the shopkeeper.
Then he turned around, and saw the hooded man run past him.
"Hi Iggy", he greeted. "Bye Iggy!"
"Prompto", Ignis said before sighing in dismay, "You two are always getting into trouble."
…
The masked man was cornered by soldiers at the end of an alley.
They tried to attack him, but he was saved by a now grown up Gladiolus.
"Thanks Gladio", he said. "I owe ya."
"Yeah you do", Gladio stated. "Come on!"
