Chapter 4: The Reveal
Ardyn noticed that Dorian had stopped crying. He held her gently out at an arm's length. Dorian's eyes were blazing with old anger and grief.
"It's not fair! Why would someone do this?!" Dorian cried.
Ardyn hesitated as he touched Dorian's shoulder. Dorian swatted Ardyn's hand away, tears streaming down her face. He stepped back as she glared at him.
"I'm sorry," Ardyn said.
"It's okay. You just should have asked before you touched me. You can hug me. Also, about my father, ask away," Dorian said.
Ardyn hugged Dorian and said, "Tell me what you saw, who it looked like."
Dorian seemed to think for a moment.
(Dorian's memory in more detail – Noctis's death)
Noctis smiled, and held his hand out, his eyes sparkling. A sudden gun shot rang through the air. Noctis's eyes went wide, and he collapsed. Screams filled the air, people running everywhere. Dorian fought the crowd, trying to reach her father. Ambulances came around the corner, their sirens blaring. Dorian looked around for who had done it.
She heard her father moan, and anxiety instantly went over to him. Noctis's eyes were glazing over. "Father, please stay with us!" Dorian cried.
"Dorian…I'm sorry," Noctis whispered.
"Why are you sorry?" Dorian whispered quietly, tears streaming down her face.
"I…didn't let you grow up. You should…have gone to this event when you were fifteen. I…just didn't want you to get hurt. I don't…want this this to happen to you. Free Adagium, he is your only hope," Noctis said.
"What about you?" Dorian whispered.
"I will be gone. Now go!" Noctis said, as loud as he could manage.
Dorian watched as Noctis's eyes slowly started to close. Her father was dead. A guard ran up, his eyes filled with fear.
"Noctis? Who did this? Was it Adagium?" the guard said.
"Adagium is dead, you idiot! My father wants me to find him!" Dorian snapped, her eyes blazing.
The guard looked around the area, along with Dorian. They exchanged a glance, it was clear that they could not see them.
"We need to look for who did this," the guard said.
"Right!" Dorian said.
Dorian ran around, looking for the culprit. She saw a person in black, with a gun. She ran up to him, and jumped him, dragging him to the ground. She took of the hood, and backed away in shock. The person was Gladio. Her eyes went wide. Why had he done this?
Ardyn listened in stunned silence. The person who had killed him was Gladio? Why would he do that?
A/N: Please review. This was a shocking reveal.
