#i will die infinitely in increasingly painful ways for them your honour

[the-walk-of-weary-souls]

Final Fantasy XV AU where the Royal line of Lucis is no longer Royal by the time that XV happens and the prophecy of the chosen king remains unheard. Instead there are the Caelum's, a family always in hiding gifted with the ability to weild and share magic. This does not stop the approaching darkness, nor the hatred that a certain cursed man holds for his family. The story shifts irrevocably, yet it seems some things are just meant to be.

===============================

Noctis did not share the best of bonds with his dad whom always seemed to try so hard to shelter him to the point of strangling him instead, but this isn't what he'd asked for when he pleaded for some breathing room. No, finding himself all alone in the big bad world, his dad comatose after having suffered critical injuries saving him from a Marilith was never what he'd wanted.

His dad riding on limited time, his hospital stay being paid by an emergency fund that is slowly but steadily drainng out, Noctis has no choice but to try set out for the hunter HQ in hopes of finding someone who knows his dad and is willing to help. His dad may not of been a hunter but he did deal with hunter duties now and again so the thirteen year old could only hope that there was someone, anyone there that knew and cared at least a little about Regis.

How could he have realised that this was only the very beginning of a much longer journey.

================================

"You know, I heard a myth the other day. Before the council, Lucis was a monarchy yes." Ignis started hesitantly catching all of their attention. Noctis's brows furrowed up in confusion, otherwise focused on cleaning the blood of their most recent bounty off his knife. "Uhuh isn't that common knowledge? Plus what does this have to do with everything?" Noct asked, pausing his actions to look up at the older in bafflement, the others following suit.

"Well you see, the myth says that the royal family was blessed by the gods with a power almost beyond mortal. That the Kings and Queens of Lucis could manipulate the world and it's magic, that they could throw fireballs from their palms, create blizzards in an instant and call weapons from nothing, all without flasks or any other aid-"

================================

Something I'm thinking about writing on my ao3 The_Walk_Of_Weary_Souls. Be warned that if I write it, it will be OT4 Chocobros either romanticly or platonically. Basically regardless of which one it is they all eventually decided they're spending their lives with one another. Sorry but I really don't like Noct x Luna. I just don't see romantic shit between them. I got more siblingly vibes than that which made the one or two actually big romantic scenes really awkward for me. It's like they forgot about the foundation and jumped right into putting up the big golden statue.

Chocobros on the other hand give me so much sweet gooey sappy feelings that I could become a multimillion dollar honey farm. It's not even funny. I just want them to be happy together your honour.
