I WANT TO DRAG THIS OUT AS MUCH AS I CAN BUT… I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I WANT TO DO HALF OF THE TIME AND I HAVE A LOT OF IDEAS FLOWING THROUGH MY HEAD. AND I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I'M MAKING UP A FEW NAMES FOR GLAIVES AND SOME OF THE SCENERIOS AFTER THE FALL- DURING KINGSGLAIVE (THOUGH THAT MIGHT BE IN THE NEXT CHAPTER), SO NO HATE PLEASE. I AM ALSO GOING TO SKIP MOST OF THE MOVIE.
Kyla had a great time on the honeymoon and didn't want to leave. He took her to Galdan Quay and she loved it. They had fun and enjoyed each other's company. The place was beautiful and different than just the places outside of the wall that she visited when she had to fight. She loved getting out and seeing different places, but they have duties that they have to do, new and old. So, they have already been back for nearly two weeks, from the only week that the king can give them off for their honeymoon.
Kyla is moving in with Gladio, and is still in the process of unpacking. But still must do her Kingsglaive duties. Which she got called to do as soon as they got home. There was an Imperial airship heading to attack the east wall and they need to get there before them. They succeeded even after they pulled out their new Daemon that has been called Red Diamond because of the red diamond shape in the chest, but Nyx was put on castle guard duty after he defied orders and saved Libertus. And even though she wants to finish unpacking she has to go there every day to 'stay in shape' as their captain, Titus Drautos, puts it. It takes her about thirty minutes to get there and finish getting ready.
Gladio got called out the day before to take Prince Noctis to Altissia, which there was an offer of a peace treaty a few days prior to Gladio and the other three boys leave and Noctis getting married was a part of the deal, Libertus ended up leaving because of the treaty. For all Kyla could tell, Noct was fine with marrying his childhood friend from Tenebrae. As she was getting ready, she pondered about the boys and wondered how they were doing. She grew close to the others after Gladio and herself got back. As she thought that, she finished getting ready and walked out of the door, remembering her keys and locking the door, and left to the Glaive grounds.
As she got there and got finished, she walked into the adjacent room from the locker rooms to get debriefed, she saw her brother and other friends. Crowe was the only ones to see her and she put her finger to her lips. She runs and jumps on Nyx's back, like she used to as kids, and it knocked him over. She can hear the others laughing as she sucks in a big breath. "Brother dearest, I have missed you so." Kyla practically screams into his ear.
"Yeah, I can tell." Nyx grumbles, even though there is an affectionate tone in his voice, and gets up, knocking Kyla on her ass in the process. Then Kyla starts grumbling about grumpy twins. After they both get up Drautos walks in carrying envelopes. In Kyla's opinion, there's something wrong about him and he is too blunt, so she doesn't like him.
"There are some individual missions I need to hand out. There from King Regis himself, so there is no objecting." At everyone's nod of affirmation he continues while handing out the envelopes, "Crowe, Nyx, Kyla, Markus, Levi. That is all get to where you need to be. He says before heading to his office. Kyla opens her letter and reads it,
Kyla,
When you can I need you to meet me in my office. I would explain but I am afraid this might be intercepted or be read over your shoulder. Even if you don't notice it.
Hopefully you can meet me soon,
King Regis
To Kyla it seems a little ominous and made her want to look over her shoulder. She knows that she can go meet with him now, so she heads to the citadel. As she gets to the gates she shows her identity and gets through. One of the guards leads her to a room. Kyla guesses that this room has been de-bugged, considering what was said on the letter she got. After she stood there contemplating that King Regis walked in and she bowed to him. He sits on one of the chairs and gestures for her to do the same.
"Thank you for meeting with me on such a short notice, but I need to confide in someone I trust." King Regis states to her, "I have Crowe going to go escort Lady Lunafreya because she needs to be here for the signing, Nyx is going to guard her during her stay here, and the other two, Markus and Levi, are going to guard at the party." King Regis continues and lists what he has everyone doing. He pauses and lets her process that.
"I'm sorry if I'm being rude or anything, but what is it you want me to do?" Kyla asks him, apologizing ahead of time for if she was speaking out of line.
"It's quite alright, I like that you speak your mind in my presence, it is refreshing. But, what I need you for is to be my, kind of advisor at this point. You see, I believe this whole treaty is a hoax, and I don't trust my royal adviser to help me with this because he was one to agree with the treaty." He states. Kyla was about to question again but he interrupts her, "It's not that I think he is on the Imperial's side, it is the fact that I want someone on the outside's help."
"Okay, so you want an outsider's perspective for a contingency plan?" Kyla asks, but it come out as more of a statement. King Regis nods. "Okay, so like, what is a scenario that we can solve? The most obvious one, attack on the city." Kyla mumbles to herself.
"Either way I want you to go meet your husband ant my son and help them in their journey. I will tell you the prophecy and all the other stuff needed and when you meet up with them. I want you to tell Gladiolus and Ignis, only them." Kyla nods at his words. "What I want is you to be one of the guards in the room of the signing, you will be there to defend a few of the counsel members if absolutely needed, but I must stay for as long as possible, for all of the other Glaives rely on my powers." Regis starts to plan. Kyla knows that she will guard him with everything she has and that the Kingsglaive relies on King Regis for their powers. "You, Kyla, do not. You have been able to rely on the kings of old when I requested for them to let you. They trust you as I trust you. That is a great deal that they trust you." Kyla was shocked that Regis and the old kings trust her so much but recovered fast.
"Let's assume that they decide to bring out some big guns, like the Red Diamond. The city is likely to be destroyed, the wall will likely fall. Chaos will then ensue." Kyla starts. "We will need to think of priorities. Only the top, though. We won't have enough time for anything else." So, they plan for every possible outcome. After they have done that King Regis told her the prophecy.
"Okay, there is a prophecy for my son. It is: 'When darkness veils the world, the King of Light shall come.' But, I'm afraid that the outcome is dark. Everyone that is in the Lucis Caelum line must die. So, if the false treaty is my time to go, then I must." Kyla nods grimly. The outcome is going to be tough on Noctis, but he is tough. Kyla thinks that he can pull through.
TIME SKIP TO WHEN GENERAL GLAUCA ATTACKS REGIS, NYX, AND LUNA IN THE TUNNELS :(
Kyla knows this is the king's time to go. General Glauca has beaten both her and Nyx. Regis is keeping them out, away from him by keeping a shield up. Luna has been given the Ring of Lucii for safe keeping. Regis faces them, "Go," is all he says before Glauca runs him through with his sword. Lady Lunafreya calls out but Kyla is already pulling on her and Nyx's arms.
"Come, we must go." Kyla says "Don't make his sacrifice be made useless. The shield won't last much longer," so, they run. They make it out into the court yard after a call on their coms by Drautos. They catch their breath and relax for a bit.
"We have the Princess. She's alive and well." Nyx calls out hoping an ally is in the courtyard too. Next thing herself and Nyx has been shot and she sees Luche walking down the steps with his gun drawn.
"No!" Luna calls out for them.
"Get out of here!" Nyx and Kyla call out at the same time throwing out their hands to her. But, Luna defies them and tricks Luche into putting the ring on. Now, Kyla can breathe knowing that they are a little bit safer but, the next events happen in such a rapid succession that she couldn't keep up. Drautos walks into the courtyard and Nyx trusts him and then Libertus runs him over with a car and then Drautos was reviled to be General Glauca. Then Nyx puts the ring on and Luna was sent away with Libertus, then there was a big fight. Kyla remembers participating in the whole thing. Now Nyx was dying because of the ring and Kyla is sticking by her twin until he takes his last breath. She stays strong for him but when he takes his last breath she breaks down crying. Kyla gives herself a minute then gets up, so she can leave.
It takes Kyla two days to reach the hill overlooking what used to be Insomnia. Two very long days in which she has earned scars, one of them on her face, running across her face from the tip of her right eyebrow to the left corner of her mouth. Potions do wonders, but it can't heal bad ones fully. That exact scar happened when she got cornered in the city by a group of Imperial soldiers. The city flooded with those robot soldiers and Daemons as soon as Nyx died. It made her trip out of the city perilous.
Just as she sits down and relaxes a bit for the first time in three days, she hears a noise behind her. She quickly gets up to turn around and sees Gladio and the others. Kyla immediately relaxes but when she does her legs give out and she starts to fall. She never reaches the ground though and when she notices, she looks up and sees that Gladio caught her. "Kyla! Are you okay?" She hears Prompto say. Kyla starts to nod but catches the doubting looks of the other three men, then shakes her head. Kyla herself isn't one for crying but she breaks down, Gladio holding her while she does.
"Talk to us, Kyla." Ignis says in a gentle voice hoping to not startle her.
"Everyone's gone… my twin-Nyx, King Regis, Crowe, Clarus. All dead. The city is rubble. So many people died. Our captain… He was General Glauca." The dam opened as soon as he said that. "The daemons, the damn soldiers. Just getting out… it was taxing. I made sure Iris and Lady Lunafreya got out. And the King knew what was going to happen… So, he sent you to go to Altissia, you must continue though. It was his final wish for me to give you." Kyla finishes and leans more into Gladio. "I figured you would want to see the city. This is the spot that gives more visual and figured Ignis was smart enough to thing of this spot. Just don't be too surprised about the damage." Kyla whispers to Gladio before the stress of the past days caught up to her and she passes out only waking in the car close to Hammerhead.
