FFXV: A IgnisXFemale Reader: Fate Takes Hold

Chapter Two: What Lies a Head

The morning comes, the bright sun peeking through the tent's front as it shines on your eyes. You wake up softly, yawning shortly before pushing yourself up with one hand. You look around finding yourself alone in the tent. You make your way out of the tent where you find the others standing, probably waiting for you to get up. "Ah, looks like your awake (Name)" Ignis greats you with a soft smile. Noctis lightly waves, then Prompto speaks. "Good morning, hope you had a good nights rest." You nod a little bit. "I had enough I guess..." Noctis speaks. "Lets get going to Key, got to catch the boat before it leaves." You follow the others back to the car, Ignis speaks. " (Name) will take the front seat, don't want you cramped in the back with that arm." You nod at that, getting in the front seat of the car, the car looked really nice to you, you start to check it out a little bit. "Seems like you are into this car." You nod. "Yeah, I've never been a nice car before." Ignis starts up the car and heads on the Road. Noct speaks. "I guess there's a first time for everything, but this car is pretty old." Prompto joins in the conversation. "Yeah, so old it broke down before we even got to HammarHead!" Noctis lightly shakes his head. "Hey, it wasn't my fault it broke down." That gave you a var small chuckle, at least their small bickering was helping your mood.

Soon enough Ignis pulls up into Key and all of you get out of the car. You notice along with the others that there was no ships in site. "....where are the ships?" Noctis asks the others, Gladio speaks. "Seems a bit strange don't it?" You walk with the boy's up the dock, going to see what was going on. Right as you get into the restaurant a heavy dressed man with Reddish-purple hair appears. He to you gives off a bad vibe so you stay slightly behind the boy's. "I'm afraid you are all out of luck." He speaks in a slight husky voice. "You mean the boats?" Noct says, The man smirks. "Ah yes, smart one. The boats are all gone..." He walks past the boys and as he does you step more back behind Ignis. The man turns around and throw's something at Noct, Gladio catches it before Noct could even react. "What is this?....A coin?" The man smirks. "Think of it as a sort of allowance." Gladio raises an eyebrow. "For what..." "From, to be exact, from a man of no consequence." He then walks away and you watch him closely, that man just didn't feel right to you at all. "Come on you guys, let's get to the bottom of this." Noctis turns around and leads you and the others to the back of the dock. Your eyes sadden a little bit seeing that there was no ships in site.

A man speaks up, he was sitting on the bench. "Hey Prince Noctis, looking for a ship?" Noctis turns around and looks at the guy with a suspicious look. "Yes we are, why do you ask?" The man smirks. "The name's Dino, I can hook you up with a boat, would be a shame if you were late for your own wedding." Noct raises an eyebrow. "What's the catch?" He leans forward a little. "I'm a news writer, wouldn't want news to get out that your car broke down, if you do me a favor I can keep it a secret." Noctis thinks for a moment. "....what do we have to do." Dino smiles. "Im a Gem collector, go get me some nice rough gemstones." Noct gives Dino the map and he marks the area on it. "Thanks, hope to see you back soon." He of course has noticed you the entire time. "Oh and maybe keep the little lady out of it, wouldn't want her getting even more hurt then she already is." Ignis speaks up. "....how dangerous is this little task?" Dino speaks. "Dangerous enough." Ignis and the rest turn to look at you, Noctis speaks. "Just....stay here, we won't be too long." You softly nod "Alright." But you are having bad thoughts in your head. 'what if they don't come back?....Then what, I'll just be on my own till I-' Igni's voice cut you out of your deep thoughts. "Hey, don't worry. It will take a lot before anything kills us alright?" You look up at Ignis and nod. Nocits speaks as he turns around. "Alright, we're off. Be back in no time."

You watch the four of them as they start to walk away. Dino looks at you for a moment before he speaks up. "How did you end up with the Prince and his guards?" Knowing this guy is a reporter, you didn't want to tell him everything, you didn't want to make it in the news. "Things just....happened." He leans back in the bench, eyebrows raised. "What kind of things?....Seems like something kind of serious, seeming like your arm is broken." You shake your head and start to walk off, he talks as you walk away. "How secretive is it?" You talk back to him, stopping for a moment. "I don't feel like talking about it." Then you continue to walk getting out of the restaurant. Knowing you can't go to far you just make your way down to the beach and sit on the sand, staring at ocean with the waves coming up then back. After about 10 minutes pass Dino find's you on the beach, just itching to get a new story. "Hey, there ya are. Got a few questions I wanna ask you." You really didn't want to talk to this guy. "I told you before, I don't feel like talking about it." He smirks a little, not taking you seriously.
