A Man Of No Consequence!
* Inside a Dream*
I woke up to the sound of water splashing around me, I opened me eyes to only see water all around me but everything else was in darkness. I got up to my feet and I thought, ' Where did the guys go?'
" Guys, where did you go?" I called out hoping to get a answer from any of them but I never got answer from any of them except the water all around me. I started to walk in the direction that was in front of me, hoping that I would find them along the way.
After awhile of walking and trying to find the others, a bright light came out of no where and it started to shine so bright that it was starting to get very hard to see that I had to cover my eyes with my hands. Once the light dimed down I uncovered my eyes and what I saw in front of me was unexcepted. Right in front of me was Altissia, the city of water. But what was happening in front of me, I covered my mouth in shock.
Altissia was in flames, Imperial ships was flying over head, I saw one of the Astral deities who is know as the Archaean Titan. Who was destroying the Imperial ships from the sky while he was protecting Princess Lunafreya with Noctis on the ground in her arms wrapped around him unconscious.
I heard footsteps behind me and I turned my head to see Gladio, Prompto and Ignis running towards where Luna and Noct was at and I was about to follow right behind them but for some reason I couldn't move my legs. I started to struggle to try to move but then I heard a male voice behind me that made me freeze.
" You think that you can save them with what you know?" I turned my head to see over my shoulder to see who was talking but I couldn't see anyone behind me.
"You think that will be able to change anything before it happens?" As the male voice was talking to me, everything around me was starting to go into darkness. When the darkness started to form I tried to struggle to move my legs but my body wouldn't listen to me and I was about to grab my legs with my hands but I stopped to notice that there was darkness around my legs, which would explain why my legs were stuck.
" I'll make sure you won't be able to do nothing to change my planes." That was when the male voice came in front of me which was hard for me to make out who it was, but from what I did notice was that the darkness was starting to crawl up my legs quickly as I looked at the figure in front of me.
I was trying to figure out who it was in front of me while I was still trying to break free from the darkness but to no avail. The male figure was starting to walk around me in a circle, like a predator stalks it's prey and once he stopped stopped in front of me which I froze in place as I looked at him.
My body couldn't stop my body from shaking with how close he was to me. That was when the darkness was at my waist and I looked down very quickly at it and then I closed my eyes wishing for it to go away but I opened my eyes when I felt his hand grab my chin and lift it up to look at him and that was when I noticed something.
As I looked at him the darkness around was moving and through the darkness I could see his hair and his eyes and from what I could see is that his hair color was Red-Violet and his eyes color was an Amber. That was when something clicked in my mind when I realized who this man was in front of me and when he saw the shocked look on my face and he started to smile but before he could do anything else a voice came out of the darkness, " Scarlet, wake up."
" Looks like the prince is calling for you? Just Be very careful with what you say because I have ways to find out and plus I know where you are." He said as he let go of my chin and then the darkness went up the rest of my body and then I heard him say one last thing, " We will meet again sooner then you think."
All I could see was darkness and curled up in a ball afraid that I wasn't going to wake up till I felt a gentle touch on my head and I looked up to see Gentiana smiling at me. I uncurled myself and I gave her a smile of relief. A light started to shine from her hands and I looked down and then I looked back at her as she gave a smile back, " The time is almost here. Be ready for the journey ahead and be strong for them." Then the light that was in her hands shun brighter and I closed my eyes as the warm light wraps around me.
" Scarlet? Scarlet wake up."
* Exiting the Dream*
I opened my eyes as I jumped in the seat a little and I looked around me to realize that I was in the car which was in park. I breathed in relief that I was okay then I felt a hand on my shoulder and I turned my head to see who was touching me and it was only just Noctis and then I noticed that Ignis was also there as well crossing his arms.
" Are you alright?" Noctis asked me as I looked back at him and I could see confusion in his eyes and I looked back at Ignis and I could see a little concern in his eyes. I looked down at my legs and closed my eyes to calm down my fast beating heart, but at the same time I was trying to figure out why he was in my dream and what he wanted. I reopened my eyes and nodded my head to his question.
" Did you have a bad dream? You look shaken." Ignis asked as I finally calmed my heart and I looked up at them and from what I could see from their faces is that my dream literary scared me.
" D...Don't worry guys. I-It was just a bad dream, I promise." I said as I put up a fake smile on my face.
" Are you sure that your okay, Scarlet?" Noct asked me as he was still looking at me and I nodded my head while I still had my fake smile on my face.
* Noctis P.O.V.*
" Okay if your sure." I said as I looked over at Ignis and then back at her. I knew that smile that was on her face from anywhere cause I know that I do that smile half the time when I'm trying to hid something or my feelings from the other or the world. But the one thing that I wasn't going to do was pressure her about it.
* Normal P.O.V. *
Ignis noticed the smile as well but he didn't say anything about it since he knows that Noctis does the same thing sometimes. Scarlet started to look around the area to see where she was and then she turned back to him and asked, " Where are we at, just me wondering?"
" We are in the Longwythe Rest Area to drop off the package that miss Cindy gave us." Ignis said as came over to the car and place his hand on Noctis's shoulder as she nodded her head.
" Thank you for telling me and Noct, thank you for waking me up." Scarlet said as she stretched her body to get what was left of the sleepiness in her body.
" No problem, Scarlet." Noctis said as he looked at her then moved away from the car. Scarlet could feel someone else was still looking at her and she turns her head to look to see who it was and it was Ignis and she could tell that he wanted to ask her something.
" Don't worry. I'm fine, really." She said to him as she looked at him and then after a while he sighed and nodded his head and started to walking towards the others. She lowered her head into her hands and she shook her head.
' I know who that male figure was in my dream. But why was he in my dream? Or the better question was what will he do to me?' She shook her head again and then she looked back up at the other's and she heard Gladio ask as she was getting out of the car, " Hey Noct? Is she okay?"
" She told me that she was fine. So I'm not going to push her into telling me." Noctis said as he looked at Gladio even though he could tell that she was lying about something.
" Are you sure Noct?" Ignis asked as he turned his head towards her as she closed the car door and looked at him and then looked away very quickly.
" If there is something wrong with her, she would've told us by now, right guys?" Prompto asked as he looked between his friends as Scarlet was making her way towards them.
" That will be up to her if she wants to tell us anything." Ignis said and Prompto had a confused look on his face with that answer from what she could see as she stood right behind them.
" Well, I do have one question for you guys?" She said as they turned to her.
" What's the question, kiddo?" Gladio asked as he crossed his arms across his chest.
" I was just wondering on what's going on back at your home town?" She asked them, even though she knew what was going on cause of the movie and found out later in the game.
" Insomnia is doing a peace treaty with Niflheim, while we are taking Noctis to Altissia for his wedding with Miss Lunafreya." Ignis said as he walked over to Noctis and placed his hand on his shoulder.
" Marriage? Is that part of the treaty?" She asked them as she looked at Noctis and he looked away from her gaze, which she could tell that he had a little blush on his cheek which made her smile a little knowing that he really did care for her.
" But there is one thing that I don't get. If marriage was part of the treaty, then why didn't she come with us in the first place?" Gladio asked as he looked at other with the same look on their face except for Scarlet. He was wondering why she wan't wondering about it ether but he just shook his head thinking that he was seeing things cause right as he shook his head a little, he looked at her again and she had a questionable look on her face.
" Maybe King Regis wanted to make sure that she had made it safely and make she was okay." She said as she shrugged my shoulders.
" But one thing is for sure, I'm glade that we found Scarlet when we did." Prompto said as he came over to me and wrapped his arm around her shoulders with a smile on his face.
" Why is that Prompto?" Noctis asked him as he raised his eyebrow and placed his hand on his hip as looked at Prompto.
" If we haven't had broken down, she would not have found her and something bad would have happened to her. Plus we wouldn't have another companion with us on this journey." Prompto said as he squeezed my shoulder with a smile still on his face. Scarlet smiled as well, cause it made her feel good that he said that about her.
" I definitely agree to that." Gladio said as he shook his head in agreement with a smile on his face. Along with Ignis and Noct nodding their head agreeing with him.
" Not only that, she can cook just as good as Ignis." Prompto said with a goof smile on his face while she started to blush a little bit and she tried to hid her face while from what she could from Ignis he was blushing too but he was using his hand to push up his glasses even though she could tell that he was hiding it.
" I take a offence to that Prompto." Ignis said as he was looking at him while at the same time still trying to hide his blush.
" No, no, no! All I'm saying is that her cooking is just like yours. There both good." Prompto said quickly, but when he said that both her and Ignis blushed even deeper and that was when she moved his arm from her shoulder's and moved away from him.
Prompto gave her a confused look on his face and she just shook her head at him telling him that he needed to keep his mouth shut unless he wanted his foot in his mouth, which was when he just kept it shut.
" Putting that aside and returning to what we were originally saying. Scarlet has been doing a very great job. However, I think it would be wise not to continue this any farther." Ignis said which made it a little easier for her and she was able to breath easier.
" I agree with Ignis." Noctis said as he crossed his arms a crossed his a crossed his chest.
" Have you guys talked to the manger yet?" Scarlet asked which made them all turn to her when she asked the question.
" Well, anyone?" She asked them waiting for them to answer her question.
" We was about to go do that right now." Gladio said as he looked at her and then at the others as he nodded his head.
" Might wanna stock up on potions and stuff." Prompto suggested as he started to walk towards the item store.
" Nice, you're being helpful for a change." Noctis said with a small smile on his face and then Prompto looked at him.
" What do you mean ' for a change?' " Prompto asked with a confused look on his face and he was offended which started to make Scarlet giggle.
She shook her head with a smile on her face and she looked over at Noctis and then she went over to him and she placed her hand on his shoulder and he turns his head towards her, " Noct, will you talk to the manager while we get some items."
" Got it." He said as he nodded his head to me and walked towards the manager who was waiting at the motel.
" We came to deliver something from the Hammerhead." Noctis said as he was in front of the motel manager.
" Y'all came all the way out here to deliver the goods? Well, thank ya kindly. We'll take it outta the trunk so y'all just sit tight." The man said as he walked towards the car and pulled out the package from the trunk.
" Now we wait." Gladio said as Noctis walked towards them. Scarlet nodded to him and he nodded back to her and then she leaned against a wall with her arms crossed her chest.
" I can't wait to see the sea." Prompto said cheerfully.
" I just can't to see the ocean for the time." She said with a smile on her face. She looked up to the sky and she closed her eyes and sighed.
' I wonder if your trying to find me right now, well if you are, don't worry about me. I'm fine sis.' She thought when she opened her eyes and then looked back down to the ground. She looked back up to look at Noctis, Gladio, Prompto and Ignis was talking with each other and was messing around with each other which just made her smile.
' I have friends that has my back and will keep me alive.' She thought to herself till she heard a familiar bark to the right of her which made her and the others look in the direction.
" Umbra!" Noctis exclaimed as he walked towards the dark-colored dog which was coming closer to her til he sat down on the ground and looked at her and then looked up at Noctis. He wore a blue rope around his neck and his front legs that allowed him to carry messages.
" Hey there pretty boy." Scarlet said as she got down to her knees and she started to pet his head and behind his ears. The dog was very happy that I did that, " Your here for Noct, right?" She whispered to him with a smile on her face til she noticed that there was a piece of paper that was tied to the blue rope. She looked up to see the others and they were not looking at her and she looked back at Umbra and she reached for the piece of paper and untied it and took the paper and she placed it in her pocket. Then they looked back at Umbra as Noctis knelt down in front of him.
" Bringin' us stuff, atta boy." Prompto said as he got closer to Umbra and started to pet.
" I don't think there is anything for you Prompto." She said as I crossed her arms in front of her with a smirk on her face.
Prompto looked at me with a confused look on his face and then he just shook his head with a smile on his face. As Noctis grabbed the book and everyone was around him, Scarlet walked away from the group a little bit and she put her hand in her pocket and pulled out the paper and I started to open it and started to read it.
' Scarlet,
I hope your doing well and protecting Noctis on the way to Altissia, I have heard a lot
about you Miss Scarlet and I'm happy that you chose to be with them. Please protect
them as much as you can and also please keep them together, no matter how bad it gets
May you have a safe journey
The Oracle'
' How did she know that I was with th-wait a minute, I forgot about Gentiana. She is always with her.' She thought as she shook her head and she turned back to them and walked back to them as she heard Gladio say, " That dog can really track a scent." That was when she put the paper back in her pocket.
" Certainly 'nose' how to find us." Ignis said as he looked over at Scarlet and she had a smile on her face and she nodded her head to him in agreement.
" How do you always know boy?" Prompto asked as he looked at Umbra and he never got an answer from the dog. Noctis shook his head as he reached for the bag and pulled out the red notebook.
" Just a sec." He said as she watched him til she turned her back a little and started to walk away from them, since she knew it was right to give Noct sometime to himself, so she walked away from them together.
As she was walking away from the others, til she felt a hand lightly tug on her pant leg and she look down to see a little girl that was holding her pants. She smiled at her and then she knelt down to the ground in front of her, " Is everything okay, little one?"
" I was just wondering if you could sing, miss?" The little girl asked as she looked up at Scarlet with a smile on her face.
She smiled at the little girl when she asked to question and she looked down a little bit and then she looked back at the little girl and asked, " I have a question for you before I answers your."
" What is it, ma'ma?" The little girl asked as she looked at Scarlet.
" I just wanted to know what your name is, sweety?"Scarlet asked her as she gave her a sweet smile.
" My name is Britney." Britney said as she gave her a big smile on her face with her hands behind her back and her eyes closed.
* Scarlet's P.O.V*
Her smile was so cute that I couldn't help but smile even more and then I placed my hand on top of her head and rubbed it a little bit and then I answered the question she asked me earlier, " Yes. Yes I can sing, little one."
" I have a another question for you, miss. Can you sing for me, please?" Britney asked me as she jumped up and down in front of me and with her big eyes which are so cute.
But I didn't want to upset her so I nodded my head yes to her and she started to jump up and down in happiness, which made me smile even more again plus I was also trying to think of what song to sing as she was dancing around me.
I got up off my knees and she took a hold of my hand and started to pull me towards the center of the area where I saw other children and their parents walk around.
She let go of my hand and I watched her go to her parents and her other siblings and grabbed their hands and pulled them towards me and she said, " Mamma, she said she was going to sing for me."
" I'm sorry about my daughter." The mother said as she gave me a concern look on her face along with a apologetic look on her face as she offered me a smile.
I just shook my head to her and gave her a smile back and said, " Don't worry about, it's okay."
She nodded her head and then I looked around to notice at everyone including the guys that was still standing around and looking at me wondering what I was doing and I looked at Noctis as he placed the red notebook back in the blue bag and Umbra taking off which told me that Noctis was able to put what he wanted to say. Then he got up from he's knees and then turned to his friends and then turned to look at me and started to look at me with the same look that the others was giving me, all I did was smile at them.
I figured out what song that I wanted to do and I pulled out my phone and I started to type in the song that I wanted to sing. Once I found the song that I wanted, I pressed play on the song and then placed it back in my pocket.
You stumble through your days
Got your head hung low
Your sky's a shade of Grey.
Like a zombie in a maze
You're asleep inside
But you can shake awake
As I was singing I started to snapping my fingers and started to dance a little bit and I noticed that a few kids was following what I was doing and I started to smile.
'Cause your just a dead man walking
Thinking that's your only option
But you can flip the switch and
Brighten up your darkest day
Sun is up and the color's blinding
Take the world and redefine it
Leave behind your narrow mind,
You'll never be the same
Come alive, Come alive
Go and light your light
Let it burn so bright
Reaching up to the sky
And it's open wide
You're electrified
I started to remember the dance moves that the was from the movie The Greatest Showman and as I was dancing, some of the kids and the parents started to dance along with me and it started to make me happy that I was making everyone was having fun along with me.
When the world becomes a fantasy
And you're more than you could ever be
'Cause you're dreaming with your eyes wide open
And you know you can't go back again
To the world that you were living in
'Cause you're dreaming with your eyes wide open
And you know you can't go back again
To the world that you were living in
'Cause you're dreaming with your eyes wide open
So, come alive!
As everyone was dancing with me and I stopped for a moment to look at what I started and I started to smile and then I looked at the others as they were clapping their hands together to the beat of the song. I ran over to them and I grabbed a hold of Ignis's hand and I dragged him over with me to the crowd.
* Ignis's P.O.V*
As I was watching Scarlet singing and dancing and having everyone join her, and I also noticed all the smiles on everyone's faces and that they were having so much fun. This is what king Regis wanted for his son to have as he was growing up, and Noctis wanted this as well and I plan on helping him to achieve that peace.
But the next thing I knew was that I felt a hand touch my hand and when I looked to see who it was I started to blush a little bit when I saw it was Scarlet and then she started to pull me with her to the crowd and she turns to me as we continued to walk towards the crowd with a smile on her face.
I see it in your eyes
You believe that lie
That you need to hide your face
Afraid to step outside
So you lock the door
But don't you stay that way
Then a young woman came over to us that I never seen before and she placed her arm around her shoulder and looked at me.
No more living in those shadows
You and me, we know how that goes
Then a young man came over to us as well and then stood right next to the woman that was right next to Scarlet, goes over to the other side of her.
'Cause once you see it, oh you'll never, never be the same
We will be the light that's turning
Bottle up but keep on shining
You can prove there's more to you
That was when Scarlet nodded her head to them and they took off to start dancing somewhere else in the crowd and I turned to look back at Scarlet as she stood in front of me and spread out her arms.
That was when Scarlet grabbed my hand again and she pulled me towards the middle of the dancing crowd and I turned trying to find the others and that was when I noticed that they were dancing along with everyone else. I turned my head back to her and she was starting to dance and sing.
You cannot be afraid
Come alive, come alive
Go and light your light
Let it burn so bright
Reaching up
To the sky
And it's open wide
You're electrified
* Normal P.O.V.*
As everyone was dancing and singing around Scarlet, she grabbed Ignis's hand and she pulled him over to where she was and she started to dance and he started to follow her steps, she could tell that he was having a little trouble at first so she grabbed one of the people in the crowd and brought them over to him and this person started to show him what to do. Scarlet looked at everyone else around her dancing and sing and she was so happy with herself with what she did. Then she looked back at Ignis as he was still trying to get the moves down and she started to smile as she watched him and then she looked back at her other friends and she could that they were having along with everyone.
To anyone who's bursting with a dream
As she continued to dance, she saw something from the corner of her eye that made her look to see what it was and what she saw was not what she was expecting to see, Ignis was dancing by himself without help from anyone and the next thing that he does shocks her when she looks at him as she started to sing.
To anyone who's searching for a way to break free
Break free!
Break free!
When the world becomes a fantasy
And you're more than you could ever be
'Cause you're dreaming with your eyes wide open
And we know we can't go back again
To the world that we were living in
'Cause we're dreaming with our eyes wide open
( Hey!)
When the world becomes a fantasy
And you're more than you could ever be
'Cause you're dreaming with your eyes wide open
And we know we can't go back again
To the world that we were living in
'Cause we're dreaming with our eyes wide open
'Cause we're dreaming with our eyes wide open
So come alive!
Once the song was over she pulled out her phone from her pocket and she stops the song before it went to the next song and she placed it back in her pocket. She looks up to see everyone clapping their hands together, laughing and hugging each other and she looks over at Britney's family dancing a little and hugging each other and she smiled when they looked over at her and waved goodbye to her and she waved back to them. She could tell that everyone had fun and that made her feel so good about herself.
She looked back at the guys and she walked over to them and right when Gladio saw her, he placed his hand on her back and patted it, " That was really fun, Scarlet."
" I totally agree with Gladio on this one, you have a way to make everyone happy around you." Noctis said as he nodded his head to her.
" That is the most fun I've had in like forever, plus I was able to get some great shots in there." Prompto said as he held up his camera in the air a little.
" Indeed, I would definitely agree with that statement." Ignis said as he fixed his hair and fixed his glasses.
" Thanks guys, I'm glade that you had fun. Ignis I didn't know that you could dance let alone sing?" Scarlet asked him as she looked at him. In everything that she has read on fanfic about him and the others, she never knew that he could dance and sing.
" There are somethings that not everyone knows about me." Ignis said as he crossed his arms and Scarlet just smiled at him and all she did was nod her head to him.
" Well, now all that excitement is out of the way. Everything in order?" Ignis asked as he was at the car and opened the driver side of the Regalia door and stepped inside and started to car.
" Yep." Noctis said as he allowed Scarlet in the car first and then he climbs in and closes the car door as Gladio came in from the other side of the car and he closed his door with Scarlet sitting in the middle.
" Mn-hm." Prompto said as he gets in the passenger seat and closed the door as he relaxed in the seat.
" Since we are done here, let's see ourselves to Galdin." Ignis said as he started to drive to their next destination.
" Here we come ocean." Scarlet said as she had a smile on her face.
" Looks like someone is happy about this." Gladio said as he looked at her with a smirk on his face.
" I've never been to the ocean. So of course I would be happy when I see it." Scarlet said as she leaned her head against the seat.
" That would make since in why you said that." Noctis said as he wasn't sitting in the seat but on the car instead so he could feel the wind in his air.
" How far are we, Ignis?" Scarlet asked him as she looked at him from the rear view mirror.
" Not that far, Scarlet?" Ignis said as he looked back at her from the mirror as well and back to the road. Prompto looked between them and he could tell that something is slowly was going on between them. He had a smile on is face and he turned on the radio in the car to listen to it.
' Lady Lunafreya of Tenebrae has issued an official statement regarding the forth coming treaty.' The reporter on the radio said catching everyone's attention in the car.
' Words cannot express the joy in my heart on receiving word of this peace. Nor the pride I take in my betrothal playing a part in this historical moment. On this joyous occasion, some have voiced cause for concern: the fear I will be unable to fulfill my duties as Oracle. Please rest assured my marriage will not stand in the way of my calling. You will find me in your towns and villages, as you always have. And I shall continue to bless you all.' Lunafreya said on the radio.
' Lady Lunafreya will set forth from Tenebrae for her wedding ceremony in the coming days. Please be advised, during this time alone, her duties as Oracle will be suspended.' The reporter said as he cut off and started to play music.
" It's in the treaty?" Prompto asked as he looked at Ignis and the others.
" Of course, simple formality." Ignis said as he kept his eyes on the road but nodded his head.
" One of those ' Symbol Of Peace' deals." Gladio said as he looked at Prompto who was on his knees in the seat looking at Gladio, Scarlet and Noctis.
" So, it's more like a marriage of convenience?" Prompto asked in confusion as he looked at the others.
" Her ladyship seems nevertheless amenable to the prospect." Ignis said as he turned his head towards him and then back at the road.
" If only Noct had a say on it." Gladio said while Noctis, however, only groaned and looked away obviously displeased. It looked like he's been this way once he learnt of the wedding from his father.
" What's that? ' I tried to object?'" Prompto asked with a smirk on his face.
" Buzz off." Noctis said as he looked at him with a glare in his eyes.
" Well, you can't get mad at finding out that you're marrying Luna. You should be very happy to have her in your life." Scarlet said with a smile on her face as she looks at him.
At first he didn't know what to say to her about her words, all he could do was look at her with a shocked look on his face. Then the shock vanished like no one else saw it except her and he smiled at her and nodded his head to her in agreement.
Scarlet was happy that Noctis understood what she meant and she was looking straight towards the road and she couldn't wait to see the ocean for her first time and she had a smile on her face but then it went away after she figured out what was about to transpire and also who they were going to meet. A few hour's of silence, Prompto rose up from his seat and pointed out when he saw the ocean, " Hey!"
Everyone turned to see what he was pointing at, even Noctis jumped up off Scarlet's shoulder as he had fallen asleep on her shoulder, " Is that the ocean?" Scarlet asked as she rose from her seat as well to see an endless blue water.
" Yes, it is Scarlet." Gladio said as he placed his hand on her shoulder and helped her back down in her seat as Prompto does the same thing and Ignis turns toward the road for their destination.
" It's more beautiful than I imagine." She said as she looked out to the water with a smile on her face.
" You thought it was going to be something else." Noctis looked at her with a grin on his face, she looked back at him and she lightly pushed him back with a playful smile on her face.
" Ha,ha,ha very funny Noct." She said as she looked back at the ocean. She thought the sky was a darker blue then the ocean from pictures that she seen but it was correct. The ocean was darker then the sky but it was also very beautiful and it looked like that the sky was becoming one with the ocean and continuing forever.
" That's Galdin Quay." Ignis said as he looked at his rear view mirror at her and really liked that smile on her face and he promised to himself that he would make sure that smile stays on her face no matter what happens. But then he realized that there was a feeling building up inside him when he's near her, or when he fights together with her. But he only meet her for only a little bit and he couldn't have already fallen for her. So he pushed down that feeling and ignored it.
" Kind wanna go for a dip." Gladio said as he looked out to the ocean along with Scarlet.
" That would be so great for us to do that together." Scarlet said as she leaned back closer in her seat and leaned her head back and then looked back at the ocean with a small smile on her face.
" That's a big mountain behind it?" Noctis asked as he pointed towards what he was looking at and Ignis and Scarlet looking over at the mountain, Scarlet's mouth opened a little when she saw the mountain.
' Is that the mountain where Noctis will return from after ten years?' Scarlet thought to herself as she looked at the mountain.
" No, Noct. That it an island." Ignis said as they get closer to the parking out to park the car.
" Nobody goes to Galdin for an island, though. They go to kickback and get massages." Prompto said as he pulled out his camera and started to take pics of the area.
" Well, I heard they also come to savor the seafood. It's famously delicious." Ignis added to get everyone's attention and Scarlet could tell that he was excited about that since he could probably make another recipe from what they plan on eating when we get there, which will be sooner than she thinks.
" Sounds great." Noctis said with a smile on his face.
" Somethin' to look forward too." Gladio said nodding his head agreeing to Noctis.
" Here we are." Ignis said as he pulled in backwards in the parking lot and he parked the car.
" We made it." Prompto said as he opened his door and stepped out of the Regalia.
" Wow." Scarlet said as she got out of the car right behind Noctis and she walked a little to the edge of the parking lot and looked at the ocean. She closed her eyes and took in a deep breath and then let out all the breath that she held and opened her eyes with a smile on her face then she heard a click out of no where and she turns her head to where she heard it and it was Prompto that took a pic of her and she just shook her head to him and he scratched the back of his head with a goof smile on his face.
" Ready to set sail?" Ignis asked as he walked up to them along with the others and both her and Prompto nodded their heads yes.
" Just need to find my sea legs first?" Gladio said which made Prompto laugh a little bit and Scarlet just shook her head to him with a smile on her face while Gladio looked at them with a serious look on his face even though he has a smile on his face, which told Scarlet he wasn't mad at them.
" You better hurry there, big guy." Prompto said as he still chuckled at him.
As they started to walk towards to the port, Scarlet stopped on the bridge and turned to look at the water and lean on the railing and looked at the water, which made the others stopped when they noticed that I wasn't behind them, " It's so beautiful. "
' Your eyes are very beautiful.' Ignis thought to himself as he watched her looking out to the ocean. Noctis walked over to her and tapped her shoulder and she jumped when he touched her and she looked at him with wide eyes and he backed away a little bit.
" Hey, you okay?" Noctis asked her as he relaxed along with her as well and she took a deep breath and closed her eyes and placed her hand in her chest.
" Yea, I'm okay. I just zoned out for a moment." Scarlet said as she reopened her eyes and looked at him with a shy smile and he nodded his head to her and then they started to walk together again.
" Wow!" Prompto exclaimed in shock, " Still can't believe you're actually tying th knot, dude! How does it feel now that it is actually happening?" Prompto asked Noctis as he goes over to him.
" Fine, I guess?" Noctis replied calmly, though Scarlet could hear the doubt in his voice and she couldn't blame him for that.
When they got the port a man dressed in the restaurant's clothes welcomed them with a smile and a bow, " Welcome to Galdin Quay." They nodded their heads to him as they walked past him and Scarlet followed behind them.
" I'm afraid you're out of luck." A stranger said as he stood in front of them blocking their way to the port. Scarlet looked at this male and at first she was trying to rack her brain at who this person was in front of her til she hears the same voice from her dream inside her head
' Keep your mouth shut.' The voice said and she jumped a little and then she froze in fear when she realized who was in front of them. Before them stood a middle-age man with red-violet hair, amber eyes, and a strong facial features. He dressed in a long, black jacket that had a white and gray trim, as well as matching trousers. He wore a red scarf and a hooded, gray and white mantle on his shoulders.
Her body had started to shake in fear when she knew who was in front of them, but the one thing she couldn't do was say anything to them cause if she did, he will come after her one way or another. Noctis walked up to the man a little bit and asked, " We are?"
" The boats bring you here." The stranger said, though it sounded like a question it seemed like a statement.
" What about them?" Prompto asked him with a worried tone in his voice.
" Well, they are not taking you forth." The stranger said looking at the direction they were pointing at over his shoulder he was running his fingers through his red-violet hair.
" What's your story?" Gladio asked him while crossing his arms a crossed his arms before the man looked back at them.
" I am a impatient traveler ready to turn ship." He said as he walked past the group. He then stopped walking, once his eyes landed on Scarlet that she held her breath when he looked at her bright light blue eyes. " My, my, where are my manners." He said with a smile which made her freeze in place and watched his every move that he does. " My lady." He said as he took a bow with a grin playing on his lips.
" Hello sir." She said politely but very low. He straighten up and he took her right hand trapping between his two hands. She started to shake in fear again. The kind smile that he was giving her was a warning and she kept her mouth shut as she looked at him. And for some reason pulling away from his hand was harder than she imagined it. The guys couldn't tell that anything was going on between them. Well, the two of them was. Gladio had to put his hand on Noctis's shoulder and Prompto had to do the same thing to Ignis who didn't look happy at all.
" The ceasefire's getting us nowhere." The stranger said, then Scarlet left something cold being placed on her right hand. He still gave her a playful smile on his face as he removed his hand away from her's. At first she was confused at what he did he place in her hand and she opens her to see a silver coin.
" What is this?" She asked as she looked at the coin and then looked right back at him and the others.
" Some sort of souvenir?" Gladio asked as he looked at the coin that was in her hand.
" They make those?" Prompto asked as he was getting excited.
" What? No!" Noctis said as he looked at him and then back at the stranger that was still near Scarlet.
" Consider it your allowance." The stranger said as he started to move away from Scarlet but was still close to her.
" Yeah and who's allowing us?" Gladio asked him as he took a step closer but still holding onto Noctis shoulder.
" A man of no consequence." The stranger said with a smile on his face and before he turned to leave to only look at Scarlet one more time from the corner of his eye and the look he gave her made her start shaking in fear again. Then he finally walked away from her and she watched him walk away.
As the man walked away Noctis and Ignis walked over to her and Noctis placed his hands on her shoulders and could feel her shaking, " Scarlet, are you okay? He did do anything to you?" Noctis asked her as she watched the stranger walk away. Ignis got worried and he lightly moved Noctis out of the way and placed his hands on her shoulders and he said, " Scarlet?" When he called out to her and she jumped a little and then she looks back at Ignis and he could see a little fear in her eyes.
" Are you okay?" Ignis asked her as she looked at him and the next thing that happened surprised him, her arms wrapped around his waist and clunged on his shirt and held him tight as her body started to shake. Ignis was in shock at first and then he slowly wrapped his arms around her and held her in his arms.
" I wonder what that stranger did to make her that scared?" Prompto whispered to the others. As Noctis looked at watched his childhood friend and Scarlet standing there and seeing her this scared cause of that stranger, it made his blood boil.
' If he could scare her that badly with us just meeting, I have to make sure that if we run into him again, that she is away from him. No matter what, I'll make sure that she never gets this scared ever again.' Noctis thought to himself as he clenched his fist in anger.
* Scarlet P.O.V.*
I held onto Ignis for a good while til I was able to calm down a little bit, I loosen my grip on the back of his shirt and then I let my arms dropped to my side and I looked down as he removed his arms around me and placed them on my arms. I looked back at him and as he looked at me, something told me that he was able to see the fear in my eyes and then I heard him ask me, " Are you okay now?"
" I think I'm good now. Thank you Ignis and thank you Noct." I said as I nodded my head to both of them and I could tell that Noct was not very happy and it wasn't with me. It was the stranger that we just met, and when I looked at Ignis I can tell he wanted to tell me something but he doesn't once he removed his hands from her shoulders.
" You believe what that guy said about the port being closed." Prompto asked as he came closer to us along with Gladio who placed his hand on my shoulder to comfort me and I patted his hand and gave him a smile.
" I'm skeptical, though I won't discount the possibility." Ignis said as he looked at all of us and then at the port.
" Do you think it's true with what he said, about the boats." I asked as I looked at them.
" I say we go check it out for ourselves." Gladio suggested as he nodded towards the port.
" I agree, we should check it out with are know eyes." I said as I started to walk towards where the boats supposed to be at.
There was a few people gathered on the port and as the man that they met said, there was no ships anywhere. When I looked around to see anything else, there was nothing that they could get them across the ocean to Altissia for Noctis's wedding. " Aw, man. Not a ship in sight. What gives?" Prompto asked as he looked around hopping to find any boat's out in the water.
" I wished he wasn't right." I said as looked around as well.
" According to my sources, the empire, giving strict orders not to let any vessels leave the docks of Altissia." I heard someone say behind us and I turned along with the others to see a man, stylish dressed, looking at us with a grin on his face. " Real shame if you were late to your wedding, right, Prince Noctis? Dino, by the way. Pleasure." Dino said and I remember who he was and I really didn't like this man when i played the game and now I have to deal with him for real, great.
