FFXV Savior

A Savior

Regis Lucis Caelum

I stood in front of the crystal, wondering what Thea meant to the power of it! When Gentiana appeared before me, "I know you fear what is unknown, the Crystal's purpose has changed. When the time comes tell her to find the crystal, she will shed her light unto the crystal giving it the power to expelled the darkness. With her help the crystal will shatter sending it's light across this star. It is that day that all the Astrals will leave and return to our creator. Healing this star of it's scourge." With her message delivered she disappeared. I returned to our private area of the citadel to await the return of my children. Thea was now fifteen with Noctis at thirteen, the two had become sneaky of late keeping secrets and hiding things from myself and the others. "Only way to find out is if you ask him about it!" "I don't know Noct he's not my father, so it's not my place to ask about a royal vehicle. Shh, I think I hear your father, it's our secret remember." I entered the family rooms a moment later. I decided to end this, that I was only Noctis's father. In truth I've considered Thea as my child as well for the last few years. She always stayed formal with me calling me sir never by my name or father or dad. As far as she was concerned I was just the man who took charge of her care. That was ending today! "What is this I hear Thea that I'm just Noctis father, I'm your's to since the day you came into our lives. Until your last breath I'm your father! Even if I am gone from this world, I would still be father to both of you. Now what is it you wished to ask me about?" "Well dad Thea can take her driving test but she needs a car to do so plus hours behind the wheel." "Noct it's fine I don't need to learn to drive. It's really not that serious Sir, it's fine. I've already passed the class anyway, the test was just a formality." "Noctis, son give me a minute with your sister." I watched as he nodded and left the room. I could see Thea eyeing me warily. "This is at an end Thea I've made you a legitimate member of our family years ago. But I've been waiting for the right moment to tell you this, you are legally my daughter. You also now carry the title royal princess. So that if something were to happen to myself or Noctis you could rule, as our steward. Thea do you understand what this means?" "Umm, yes sir I think it means that you are my father and Noctis is my brother legally." "Always to smart for your own good. Thea since the day you returned at almost eleven years old we've been your family. I've seen myself as your father, so if there's anything you need from me ask!" I thought about all the field trips that the teachers would call about that she never said anything about. When she started to outgrow her clothing, and the maids would say something about it not her. Or when there was something she liked Noctis would have to say something about it so it could be gotten for her. "Understand Thea you are not on your own anymore you have a family that loves you and wants you to be happy here with us. Now obviously I won't always say yes to your request, especially if I think it's to dangerous, or you don't really need it. So with this said you could at least try calling me father, and ask me to use the Regalia for your driver's test." I watched as she struggled to say it. "Ummm father uhh can I umm use the car for my driver's test?" "Yes you may I'll make the arrangements with school tomorrow. Was that so hard Thea!" By the look she gave me it was very hard. "I have trouble with bonds sir,....I mean father. You, Noct, Ravus, Luna, and Queen Slyva are the only ones I've formed relationships with. I was afraid that in altering the destiny of this planet, as well as Noct and Luna's would cost me my life. But if that was the cost, I would have gladly paid it for it was in the creators plans all along. For I am the savior of the Gods, the people, and this star. As this was what I was created for." My heart broke in that moment, that this child lived her life as if she didn't have a future. I now understood what she meant all those years ago, when she said she didn't know what her future held. She believed that in doing what she was created for would take her life. I never took that from my son I gave him what I could without burdening him with his future ending. I couldn't help but take her into my arms and hold her. She stood stiffly in them for a moment, before wrapping her arms around me. I felt her head rest heavily on my chest I could feel the wetness seep through my shirt. It was then I realized she was crying. "Please don't cry Thea, you are safe. I believe the Astrals will protect you." She stepped back and used her sleeve to dry her eyes. "Yes so they've said that they would give me a future here with all of you as a gift from them. But I can't help feeling like I shouldn't be hopeful it'll happen." I sent her off to do homework, realizing she had become so much apart of our tiny family. I wondered what the future held for all of us. My family as well as the Oracle's

Sylva Via Fleuret

"You wish to use Umbra to send a message to Thea, Ravus. Could I ask why brother?" "Luna dearest isn't it obvious that your brother and her have formed a bond." "Yes mother we're friends, and I wanted to send a private message for her alone. Since all our correspondence are seen before we receive them. Also someone's always listening in on our phone calls." "Don't worry Ravus I'll make arrangements that you'll be able to speak with Thea privately." I made my way to contact Regis regarding Ravus and Thea speaking. Wondering if my children would find themselves married to the Lucis heirs. Although realizing that Ravus had been in communication with Thea unbeknownst to myself, I wondered if Regis knew about it as well. "Sylva what a surprise hearing from you, is there anything I can do for you?" "Did you know your daughter and my son have been communicating?"

Regis Lucis Caelum

"No I did not, Cor did you, or Clarus know about this?" "Perhaps her guards are aware of this, I'll see about it myself." I watched as Clarus made a call to the guards in question. "So they knew the two were communicating with each other but were just keeping tabs on them. That if it warranted telling you they would have.... So they have apparently been talking to each other for the better part of the last four years. He communicates his worries about LunaFreya, as well as his worry about her taking her place. It seems that the two have a bond that no one knew about." I couldn't believe that they kept it a secret. I would be speaking with her guards to understand why it was kept from me. When I confronted them, they had a very good reasons for keeping me out of the loop. "Your Majesty the Princess has very little friends. Most befriend her to get close to the Prince or the children of the Kings Glaive. When Prince Ravus began contacting her, he wasn't looking for a connection to you or Prince Noctis. He was just being her friend truly! They speak about their hopes and dreams, their fears for themselves and their family. Even though the Princess doesn't act like it she definitely sees both you and Prince Noctis as her family. She has said so to Ravus many times, she's afraid your Majesty that she'll fail in protecting, you, as well as prince Noctis. She's also spoken of the Adagium. She said she saw him right before returning here." I couldn't believe she had seen him! I was afraid what had happened to her when she faced him. Did he try to hurt or even kill her. I had missed much in that year of her life away from the crown city. I always knew what she did after she returned to us. Whenever she asked to go heal the daemons outside of Insomnia. She had Kings glaive guards with her. While they were mostly rendered inactive due to Thea's healing abilities, I still sent them as a precaution.

One afternoon I stood watching her for a moment, as she was sitting in the garden reading. I approached her as she heard me she looked up and started to smile. For some reason her smile faded, was it the look I was giving her I could only hope not. "Thea, is it true that you faced the Adagium?" "You mean Ardyn well yes, but he wouldn't come close to me. He said, I'll wait till your older as fighting children never appealed to him. And he fled from me." "Will you have to fight him Thea?" "No father, my plan is to purify him with my divine light. Giving him peace, and letting him join the others in our family in the afterlife. If it comes to a fight Noctis and the others will be there with me and we'll win. Ending this once and for all."
