Hello everyone, including all my 116 Followers. I have good and bad news. Good news: since the past chapters were rather short, you get this weak a longer one, hope you like it, and thanks for the long.

Bad News: Because of studying and my minijob, I might be harder to upload it on a weekly base, so I hope everyone understands if there might be a break for one or more weaks.

Is it wrong to seek answers?

Chapter 18: Distant Call

(OPENING: Promare OST – Gallant Ones by Hiroyuki Sawano ft. Mpi & Benjamin)

UTSIDE – STREETS OF ORARIO – NEAR LILY'S HOME – LATE EVENING

After Noct and Lily processed Bell's information, Lily said they are near her home.

Noct now looked to Lily.

„and did Prima said something more about him? "

„ except that she claims her Familia to be the strongest, the most 'unique' thing Prima told me is, that master Ravus is addressed as 'older brother' or 'brother' instead of 'Captain' by the other Familia members"

„older brother ?" Noct wondered.

„yes, since she said he referred to Prima, Emma and her whole party as his 'little brothers and sisters', because of some 'incident which happened before', as Prima said"

At this point, Bell and Lily noticed that Noct stood still.

„master Gar ?"

…...

Noct looked down on the floor, making a shockingly sad face as if he is about to cry.

„Noct? " Bell asked quietly.

At first, he didn't seem to response.

…...

But then suddenly, Noct started to run away.

„N-NOCT !" Bell called, trying to follow him.

„wait, master Bell." Lily suddenly said, holding Bell's arm.

„But …." Bell wanted to know what's going on with Noct.

„I think right now, he needs time for himself, you saw his face right ?"

Bell hesitated to listen to Lily at first but then agreed not to follow him.

…...

…...

OUTSIDE – STREETS OF ORARIO – LATE EVENING

Noct was running, running far away from Bell and Lily through the now dark City.

He didn't want them to bother with him right now, in his current condition.

He was running until he reached a blind end.

Seeing there's no way going through, he fell on his knees.

…...

Noct started to cry quietly, holding his hands against his face.

Then he started to think about his past, about the people who are still very dear to him.

'Prompto, ….. Gladio,... Iggy, …...Iris, …...Father,...everyone,...'

…...

Then, he suddenly cried more.

…...

'…...Luna'

…...

…...

(soundtrack: Simon Daum – Distant Call)

„what am I doing here." he asked himself aloud.

Noct tried to contain his crying, failing.

„WHY AM I HERE ? " he asked louder.

It was at this moment that the Clouds in the sky starting to disappear, releasing the until then blocked moonlight, which now spread everywhere, even where Noct was right now.

At that moment, noct could see something on the street floor.

It was a small blue leaf.

…...

Then suddenly, a small gust of wind appeared, moved the blue leaf out of the floor, resulting in flying around.

Noct for some reason he couldn't understand at first stood up after wiping away his tears, tried to catch that blue leaf.

But the gust of wind got somehow stronger, moving the leaf more towards the roof of one of the buildings. Now he thought he saw that leaf somewhere before.

Noct, still feeling lie he fell in some kind of trance, jumped on the roof.

Finally, he caught the blue leaf.

He looked at it for a while, wondering from where it appeared. The gust of wind stopped.

At this moment, the clouds disappeared completely, revealing the clear, star-filled blue sky.

But the most shining object in the sky was, of course, the full moon.

At this moment Noct watched the full moon. It was at this moment that he remembered where he saw this leaf, or more importantly, such leaves and of course who was there back then.

…...

'when the world falls down around you and hope is lost, when you find yourself alone in mid of a lightless place, look at the distance, know that I am there and that I watch over you always'

After remembering those important words, there was a gust of wind again, which made the blue leaf flying away in the horizon towards the full- moon.

Noct, who tried to catch it again by stretching his hand towards the moon, where the leaf was flying, suddenly felt new tears appearing again.

He closed his eyes.

'Luna …...'

…...

…...

INSIDE – HESTIA FAMILIA HQ – NIGHT

After a little bit of time for himself, Noct returned to his new home.

He was at the Altar, where the moonlight was shining through the colored glass. Noct was about to go inside the room, only to see that Hestia was standing there.

Hestia came towards him, with a concerned face.

„ did Bell returned ?"

„Yes, he's sleeping already."

Both were still for a moment.

„Bell told me what happened, he was really concerned because he thinks it's his fault, " Hestia said with a concerned expression.

Noct, who didn't know how to answer at first, then looked to her.

„just a little homesickness I guess."

Hestia then came to Noct, embracing him.

„you know you don't need to hide your feelings in front of your goddess." she said calmly since she knew that he was lying about the word 'little'.

Noct, who also embraced Hestia, started to feel his tears falling again.

„I miss them so much, " he said sadly while crying.

„I can very well imagine how it feels to be far away from your family and friends, even Astraea can." Hestia continued, „Don't worry Noctis, we're a Familia and Familias hold together," Hestia explained to Noct.

They both stood at the Altar for a while, until they returned into their room.

This time, Hestia slept on the couch while she let Noct sleep on the Bed.

Noct was again in that strange gray beach with the dead whales and crabs.

Only this time he realized, he was naked.

Then, out of nowhere, there was another person.

Noct tried to figure out who that person is. As he moves forward, he realized that this person only stares at the grey sea.

It wasn't his father this time since he usually wore his black Kings-wardrobe. This person had white clothes.

Then, he immediately recognized who That was.

'Luna ?'

Noct started to run, like last time.

He finally reached behind her, but she didn't seem to hear him since she still was staring at the grey sea.

Noct embraced her like he saw how lovers usually do back home, „Luna " he said, happily smiling.

„N-Noct ? " she asked.

She then suddenly turned around, also for some reason shocked, but Noct didn't care.

Noct then was about to Kiss her as he started to shorten the distance between them.

But then, Noct heard someone from the right loudly crying saying: „BEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLL"

Noct then turned his head to the right only seeing Hestia suddenly ran towards them, holding her hand between Noct's and Luna's head.

INSIDE – HESTIA FAMILIA HQ – MORNING

Noctis suddenly opened after feeling something heavy on his stomach.

The first thing he saw was a hand very near, in front of his face.

He looked to the right, only to realize that this hand belonged to his Goddess.

Noct immediately stood up, „goddess ?" he asked shockingly.

Hestia, who looked angry again, said:

„I DIDN'T ALLOWED YOU TO SLEEP ON THE BED SO THAT YOU CAN DO 'THIS' " she said to Noct.

„what … ", at first Noct wondered what her problem was, only to realize that Bell also was there, who looked rather terrified for some reason.

He looked to him, realizing that, like himself, he only slept with his underwear.

He then looked to Hestia again, still angrily staring at him, then again to Bell. Then it hit him.

„uwaahhhhh..." he suddenly screamed while jumping back, falling from the bed.

…...

…...

He dreamed and was about to kiss Bell while thinking it was Luna.

…...

…...

Noct immediately stood up from the floor he fell, realizing what he was about to do.

„I'M TERRIBLY SORRY, EVERYONE.", he bowed to them.

…...

…...

After the situation calmed down, they all went for the shower. This time separated of course since Hestia wanted to avoid 'misunderstandings', like yesterday evening.

Then after everyone was finished and put their clothes on, Hestia looked to Noct,

„Noct ?", she called, which made him look to her, „I think we should tell him since we're a Familia."

Noct still looked to Hestia for a moment, only to look towards Bell.

„you're right, goddess." he concluded since they couldn't hide it forever.

„tell what ?" Bell asked, who got curious of course, also looked to Noct and his Goddess.

After the Goddess and her children sat on the couch, Noct started explaining his story to Bell.

Bell, as he might already guess it, was again impressed and speechless about the story Noct is telling him.

At this point, Noct told Bell that his real name is 'Noctis Lucis Caelum' and that he was a Prince from his world.

As Noct continued telling his story, he showed Bell and Hestia the Picture he had of him and his friends. There, they could see Noct along with three other young men standing beside him happily.

Noct told Bell also about the Nifleheim Empire, which destroyed his home. Then also about Ardyn Izunia.

It took a while for Bell to contain that recently received information, but then Bell asked the one question he was afraid to ask.

„And who is Luna? " Bell asked.

At this point, Noct's face saddened, as Hestia did the same, „she was my fiancee."

Bell eyes widened shockingly, „was ? " he asked, to be sure he heard him right.

„yes, " Noct said, remaining sad, now Bell also felt bad for asking.

„and what does Ravus has to do with this, except that he's from your world ?" Bell asked, trying to make Noct less sad.

„he's Luna's older biological brother." Noct said while looking to them again.

„WHAAATT ? " both, Bell and Hestia screamed in unison. Hestia was also shocked because that wasn't mentioned by Astraea. Now it makes sense when thinking about Noct's behavior from yesterday.

„So that means you and Ravus are supposed to be brothers-in-law ?" Hestia asked to Noct.

At a question like this, Noct would usually get sad again, but since it was his Goddess asking, he didn't mind.

„I doubt he would appreciate being called like that, " Noct said jokingly while smiling again since he told them that Ravus, back then, wasn't fond of Noct and his friends.

Bell wanted to ask more about Luna but then decided otherwise since he didn't want to make Bell sad again.

„And how did you …." Bell was about to ask how Noct, and also Ravus, came to this world but was then interrupted by his goddess.

„I think that's enough for today since you both are supposed to be already in the dungeon." Hestia declared.

„But …. " Bell wanted to ask more, but then saw how his Goddess 'smiled', a sign both her children knew very well.

She then looked to Bell again, „and please Bell, no word to anyone, understand ?, this is a family's secret, am I clear ?", she still 'smiled'.

„Y-Yes." Bell immediately agreed.

Noct also wanted to talk with Hestia about his dream, which was quite identical to the last one the day before yesterday, but then thought that this could wait.

After all three had put their clothes on, they started to go to the Altar.

They wanted to go outside until Noct could feel that something was coming.

„WATCH OUT." Noct screamed while summing his Balmung sword.

Hello everyone, just a small update: since you already might have read: if possible, I would also include all Characters from 'DanMachi Orario Rhapsodia' in my story, but since that game, as far as I know, has been only released in Japan/Japanese, could someone of you give me some more detailed information if you've played it and also understand Japanese:

could someone translate this Relationship Chart from 'Orario Rhapsodia'for me, which you can find at the 'Danmachi fandom wikia' website.

I would REALLY appreciate it,

Thank you, I hope I can continue without too much delay :D
