Wrap him up and deliver him to Victor kthnx

[starless_sky]

Yeah, he can... he's unreal...

<sub>[He didn't like showing his emotions period, he was just reserved like that. He was never comfortable with it. Luna was an exception but she'd seen him at his lowest so many times. The time in Tenebrae when he was in a wheelchair, when he was thrown to the rubble by Leviathan like a rag doll, and when he was a crying blubbering mess on the train. He knew she saw that... that was her.

And he didn't WANT her trident because of what it represented... but at the same time he needed it because if she was gone he wanted every memento he could have of hers. The sylleblossom in their notebook and the ring of the Lucii just weren't enough. He couldn't look in their notebook without crying because he needed more, he needed one last note from her.

But something she said caught his attention. He wasn't sure if he should say anything about what Bahamut told him... so he just let her speak. She needed to let this out anyway.]</sub>

Ravus called me his king too.... to my face, or to what he thought was my face. He offered my dad's sword to me too. I got it after... after he was gone...

and I do need to be sorry... Luna... Luna you should know....

_{[He bit his lip for a second but it bothered him, she needed to know.]}

Luna, I'm going to take care of Ardyn and the darkness... the starscourge... it'll be fine but I won't be able to live a long life the way you want. I... I can use the crystal to purge the darkness from the world but it'll cost me my life. Bahamut told me that before I came here. It's not something I can change...

yes ma'am

[ Luna knows that very well, she's the same way. She does her damn hardest to keep her emotions to herself, especially when it concerns her beloved young king. The only person who has really seen her cry in many years is Ravus, and that is because she had trusted him with it despite everything. It isn't as though she does not trust Noctis or his friends, but she's got a duty to him still, one she's carried through death and into the Fleet, to make sure he stays inspired and happy and safe.

But she's not doing a very good job of that right now, is she? Crying over Ravus and making herself look silly. That right there is enough to get her to stifle her tears and wipe them away just as quickly as they came. Briefly, at least. ]

I am just... glad that he acknowledged you in such a way. He had changed, he was more like he used to be. It made me happy to know that he'd finally accepted the truth and realized that Niflheim was the enemy, not Lucis. I had so hoped for the two of you to join forces...

[ She trails off, though, silencing herself to let him speak. Her eyes widen in absolute horror, and she can feel herself shaking her head. This is the ending she'd known he'd get, deep down. She'd hoped and prayed that it would not come to pass, that he'd rule over Lucis and change the world for the better, that he'd live until he was old and grey and surrounded by many children and friends.

Both she and Noctis were born to be sacrifices unto the world. Nothing more, nothing less. Their existences were meaningless to the Gods, they'd been pawns for the greater good. This is something she can accept for herself, something she had already accepted a great many years ago. But not for Noctis, never for Noctis. ]

The Draconian really told you that...? [ She looks down, feeling her eyes water again, and she quickly shakes her head. ] I knew your destiny would not be an easy one, and I had a horrible feeling that may be the outcome, but I had not wanted that to come to fruition. Sometimes... I wonder why the Gods had to choose you, why you had to be the one to suffer such a fate.... it is not fair...
