Future and Destiny

Chapter 2- Father and Daughter Rivalry

── I'll be back... ── I said with a broken voice, subtly keeping each of the letters and souvenirs that everyone had given me, I placed Gladio's necklace on my neck, Mom's on my wrist like a bracelet, the photos and recipes of Prompto and Ignis kept them together with the letters, and I threw myself on the floor of the sanctuary watching the night sky, the moon was covered by grayish clouds, it would soon start to rain... but what does it matter? The rain was the least important thing to me, what mattered was that that night I could not forget the voices of my loved ones, because I will never hear them again...

── My daughter, wake up ──

I took a deep breath and got up suddenly, it was already daylight and I felt that I only slept for seconds, I looked everywhere, swearing I heard my mother's voice somewhere, but I found nothing, only... Umbra.

── Umbra... you're safe at least ── I hugged him and the tears came out without warning, he just stayed still, without barking, without moving, I was still crying remembering last night. ── I'm sorry... What's wrong, little friend? ── I rubbed my eyes with the back of my hand and saw that he had a book on his back, I took it and slowly opened it.

── A flower from Tenebrae... ── I looked down and I could see the handwriting of mom and dad, so fine and full of love... ── I see... ── I took the book and kept it in the same bag, it was spacious, only now I wouldn't have much space, but what did it matter, if everyone gave me some gifts it was for some reason. ── Walking Umbra, we can't stay here or the empire will find us ── Even in daylight the loneliness was felt in that place of Insomnia, I was afraid to enter again and now not only to see my family, but to see all the innocents dead... She had his head down. What would she do? I am all alone, I have only a few gil, and I did not want to fight, I did not want to take the sword that once belonged to my father and my grandfather... while I was thinking I was walking seeing Umbra in the same position, I began to get curious and nervous Why is he like this? It looked like a statue. ── Umbra? ── I approached him slowly and stroked his head. ── Umbra ── he moved his eyes and looked at me and that was when I remembered my father's words.

Wait for Umbra...
A past that no longer exists...
I came back and just left everything unfinished...

I knew that Umbra could go back to the past, but history couldn't be changed... but if my father did it, can I do it? ── Take me, take me to Lucis's past, take me 28 years ago ── and finally he moved, he let out a bark and my head began to spin, everything was blurry until it became black.

── Hey, do you think she's alive? ──
──  Prompto don't be stupid, of course she is, she is breathing ── Prompto?
──  Hey calm down a little big guy- That's Gladio
──  Why are they so desperate? It must have just been heat stroke ── That voice... he's just a bit younger...
── Noc, you shouldn't be so cold, she's just a girl ── Ignis... always so understanding
──  Oh! Look look, she's waking up ──

──  H-Hmm ── My head was about to explode, I got up and covered my eyes from the sun's rays, I tried to wake up and open them little while I got back up and was sitting on what seemed to be sand. ──  Where the hell am I, Umbra? ── I shook my head and looked at the four people who were looking at me strangely.

──  Umbra? Perhaps you... ── I denied, it couldn't be him.
──  Prompt ── ... I think he was.
── Oh Im sorry ──

──  Wait, Prompto? ── I muttered to myself as Ignis, Gladio, Prompto and my father stood in front of me, much younger, yet they were alive, they were alive.

──  Do you know her? ── Ignis said looking at Prompto, and this is when I ruined it, Umbra sent me to the past, and I think that OBVIOUSLY I shouldn't give information about myself so as not to explode the brain of one of these four.
