Final Fantasy XV 💖Crystal Heart

6---Water city

The next morning: The band of ChocoBros end up on the boat to Altissia. Sorrow sits away from them.

Waving good bye to Iris and everyone else on the pier, the boat sets off.

Noctis is ready too meet LunaFreya; His bride in waiting.

Riding far beyond the eye can see, the boys enjoy sunshine and conversation. Poking fun at Prompto as usual and the men laugh..

Sorrow sits at the back of the boat, away from all the noise.
For once it seemed rightly to be alone. She looks down at the water whisping by, causing a wake from the path of the boat.

She thinks: A path is carved and wake is left behind...seemingly proof we were here.. but in the end it dissipates as if it never existed..
Her heart is so heavy and her mind filled with non-sense.

" Is this seat taken?" Ignis asks.
Her head shoots up his direction.

"By all means." she responds in short.

"It has come to my attention that you are sitting alone, most likely purposefully?"

She rocks on the bench, trying to avoid the question..but can't since he literally isn't going away.

"Yes, I am upset. I don't know what to think about whats happened these past few days." She goes on and on as if her top finally blew.
She tells Ignis her past her nightterrors, her hurts... and the thing that happened with Prompto. How she has these feelings of jealousy over this 'Grease monkey Goddess' and doesn't know why.
She can't be bothered with feelings, but can't help it.

Ignis listens seemingly with his full attention.

He looks at her for a moment. straight faced but thoughtfully, "Ahh...I believe you are in love. It is a rare occurrence to find such a love as this."

Sorrow is in denial, she doesn't want to hear it.
"I am not someone worthy to be loved, my body is broken, my mind is shattered in pieces on the ground." She scrunches the edge of her skirt with her fingers and body rigid. Her memory is far to vivid of the man who tortured her, taking pleasure in destroying her again and again.

His response, "You are more than worthy. A truthful love will never look to the past, only the present and accept you as you are. The greatest love is one who will lay down his life for others."

He pats her on the shoulder twice and goes back to the other men who are still bantering.

Gladio and Prompto glance back at her periodically.. she knows their talking about her. She blushes, regardless of the things she heard. She still finds that blond chocobo mess quite interesting.

She looks beyond them, A rock formation? The boat proceeds between in what seems to be a water way. She finds it interesting, but where is the city?

The boat takes them deeper and deeper, stone walls on either side. Then they end up at a huge gate.
Slowly It opens revealing the channels, waterways, waterfalls and enormous marble statues of angels; seemingly guarding the city.

Every one is amazed and completely blown away.

"Oh man, I love this place!! It like living the dream!!!" Prompt can never hold it in.

*click* *click** Prompto blasts away.
*click**
*click* ------definately a photographers dream come true.

**The city on water**
Upon entering, every view is spectacular. Places to eat, flowers to buy, sights to see, music to hear and romantic gondola boats to ride. 😍

Sorrow excitedly waits for what is next while standing around with the others.

"We need to get the Noct to his bride to be." Gladio starts off.
