A/N: Why would Gladio do this? What was his reason?
Chapter 5: Bahamut
Ardyn walked over to the bed in the corner of the house, and saw went to bed, to take a rest.
(Ardyn's dream – prophecy)
Ardyn woke up, but instead of seeing the usual memory, he saw a beautiful blue abyss. A huge beautiful creature was staring at him.
"I am Bahamut. I have a mission for you. No, many missions," the creature said.
"What are they? Why do you need me?" Ardyn said.
"I know that you lost your humanity while you tried to save the planet from many cases of Starscourge. First, I want you to find the traitor in the desert. Second, save a city that is being destroyed by a daemon. Finally, I need you to defeat the empire once and for all. I trust that you will do this. You will gain your humanity back if you do all these. You have three days, good luck," Bahamut said.
Ardyn looked at the god wearily. He did not trust these gods, especially after they had all denied him the Crystal. They thought that Somnus was the rightful king. He was not worthy at all. Somnus had killed Aera, and was even younger than Ardyn.
"Why should I trust you? You let them chain me up! Starve me! Leave me in a prison for 2,000 years," Ardyn said, angrily.
"Silence! Trust me, you can believe me! Do you want your humanity back?" Bahamut said angrily. Ardyn flinched, and stepped back. "I'll send you back now!"
A/N: This is the true trial. Let's see what happens.
