Along the Way: [Noctis X Reader]

Chapter 6: Bittersweet Memories

[Name] POV:

The only thing you could see was Noctis running up to you and kneeling at your side before everything turned black.

You appeared in a city, fire blazing, the empire was attacking another innocent city and this town was one of them.

This is the day...

Memories started to fill your fragile mind, as you continued to remember this faithful day, while it burned inside your mind.

The screams and gunfire were suddenly silenced.

You looked everywhere, realizing time had stopped, and the chaos seemed to come to and end, but a faint voice shook your spine that sounded all so familiar.

"Mommy? Mommy, where are you?!"

A young [H/C] girl emerged from the frozen crowd, looking everywhere in distress, trying to find the person she so desperately wanted to find.

Her [E/C] eyes caught the sight of you, which only caused tears to flow down her face when you saw her entire appearance.

It was you.

"Mommy?"

You felt all the memories rush back into your head, while the screams and gunfire seemed to continue, when you remembered everything.

Kuroma, the city of magic was the one you were living in, but it was taken away by the empire.

Like your mother.

Your younger self ran up to you, and proceeded to grab your legs, while you could feel tears flow down your face.

You lost everything that day.

Nothing was spared.

You reopened your eyes to see a younger you, emerging from the Regalia, in front of the castle while two figures stood before you.

You stood in between, seeing the face you wore when you saw the place you'd soon grow and emerge stronger from.

"Welcome, [Name]" King Regis said, pleased.

The young girl walked up to the two royals, as King Regis, nudged at shy Noctis' side, "Why don't you greet our new guest?". "N-No need. Y-Your majesty" a young [Name] stuttered out.

When Cor had decided to take a visit to the refugee sight taking place in Insomnia, he noticed a young girl that seemed different from the others surviving children.

One who contained a hidden natural talent in sword-wielding and traits any good leader should have.

Following in Cor's footsteps, he took you to the castle, where you got full training in becoming an elite fighter.

A lot has happened since then, you became stronger, faster and became the youngest member of the KingsGlaive.

You were happy again, but when good things happen, bad things follows.

You closed your eyes once more but instead of a memory, it felt real, there was a field, flowers filled the area, as far as you could see.
