Final Fantasy XV 💖Crystal Heart

4--- Alone with her.

Fire crackling, the stars shining in the night sky, and camp is not set... Prompto and   Sorrow sit on the cold ground in silence.

Prompto wonders what to do and for once he has nothing  funny to say to make a fool of himself.
Thinking: Gladio is the one who brings supplies to camp, Ignis feeds us... At least I could start a fire but I could really go for something to eat.. maybe Gladio is right, I'd have no chance with this girl. I couldn't even protect her.

He looks up at her, wondering what shes thinking.

Sorrow looks up at the stars in awe, she had never seen them this way before. Experiences like that the average person wouldn't take the moment to truly appreciate. Her heart begins to feel lighter and she smiles.

Prompto sees it.

The warm light of the campfire caressed her face. She has never felt such a peace. Being held captive for most of her existance made everything new to her.. like she had forgotten the world.

He looks down and fumbles with his camera.

Lost in thought she realises she is not alone and senses Promptos nervousness.

Sorrow breaks the silence-- "may I have a look at your photos? "

"You really want to see them?" Reluctant to show her his lifes work and fearful of what her opinion might be.

She nods.
He scoots closer to her, so he can point out how to use the camera.
She glances up at Prompto for a few seconds here and there; but stirs of feelings worry her so she tries to push the feelings away.

Sorting thru each photo together, he explains where the guys went and why he took each one.

"These photos are beautiful. Your friends, the scenery and yourself are all an amazing creation."

He feels proud for a moment until she flips the the last 3 pictures. They are of her  viewing the volcano, the blueness across the sky.
The very last photo of her she is looking back at the photographer, smiling gently.

"Pictures keep the memory alive. How lovely, you are very skilled Prompto."

Phew...she didn't freak out.

"Thank you, that means a lot."  He needed the encouraging words.

She traces her finger around the crystal buried in her chest and closes her eyes..

****sorrows memory***
Before the crystal became imbedded in her she was  a guardian, the crown guard. Sworn in by a king of long past, shes was the only one to gaurd the crystal as her heart was pure.

Sorrow stood guard, in the night it was her duty.one night She heard someone open the door to the enclosed room she was in. As quickly as she realised someone was trying to take the power of the crystal; her mouth was covered  and she blacked out.
In and out of consciousness she laid on the ground. Her vision skewed, she saw boots step toward it but then she heard a man screaming. By that time she knew the crystal did not accept him.Just then a shard of the crystal burst into her chest.

Upon awakening she was blindfolded and shackled, not knowing where she was or why...thats when the suffering begins.

** end memory sequence**

Prompto--" Sorrow? .........
Sorrow? " he snaps his fingers. "Hey are you okay?"

She looks up, time seemed to have stood still for a moment. She finds contentment knowing he cares enough to ask.

"I will be. " she finally is able to say. "I don't know why but I was moved to that location just days before you and your friends found me."

"Well your here for a reason, you mentioned to Iris that you need to go with us to help deliver Noct?"
He is so eager to know more about her.
