     After hours of traveling, and buying warm clothes they made it to a bare, snowy area. They made camp in a small cave.
    "Rocken the beanie Prompto." Noct said as he went to the entrance of the cave.
     "Um, thanks?" He responded sheepishly.
     Noctis sighed as he looked out to the frozen waste land.
     "What are you doing?" Ignis asked.
     "Just looking, I don't think I've ever been here before." Noctis said.
     "Yeah that is the point in coming out here in the first place." Gladio said sarcastically.
     Noct rolled his eyes when a small beam of light caught his eye. Farther into the snowy field he thought he saw a shadow figure next to the trees.
     "Hey guys do you think it's okay if I walk around? Stretch my legs." Noctis asked.
     "Are you sure it's safe here Iggy?" Prompto asked.
     "I'm positive, this place shouldn't have anyone around here for miles. It should be safe for him to walk around." Ignis replied adding wood to the fire.
     As for that Noctis walked out the cave entrance, he was slow as first but when he got to a certain distance he started to sprint. When he made it to what seemed to be the tree the figure was at, nothing was there.
     He looked around in confusion, he walked a bit further around a different tree to see a motorcycle behind a few bushes, when he got a tap on his shoulder.
     He turned to see the unthinkable, but before he could react, the person punched Noct in the face, making him collapse, passing out in the process.
      "Shall we switch clothes, I wasn't expecting you to change so I'm wearing the wrong outfit for today." The man said kneeling down.
     The man placed his hand to his ear, "I'm ready to start the next part of the plan."
     "Good, now get ready, we have to reunite a lost family."
     "Now all I have to do his hide the body, this should be easy" he said to himself
                             ~Time skip~
     "Oh hey Noct! How was the walk?" Prompto asked.
     "Um, it was interesting." He replied.
     "Are you okay?" Prompto asked in suspicion.
     "I'm good." Noct answered.
     "Okay...."
     "So what time is it?"  'Noct' asked.
     "It's about 6 pm." Ignis replied.
     "Good"  'Noct' whispered.
     "What?" Gladio asked.
     "Nothing, just thinking." 'Noct' replied.
     "Well any who don't you think it's about time we settled down rest, sleep?" 'Noctis' asked.
     "Um, I guess it is a bit early." Gladio said trailing off.
     "Its like we have nothing better to do." Prompto said in agreement.
     "Okay fine." Ignis said raising his arms in surrender.
     "Cool."  'Noct said crossing his arms.
                              ~Time Skip~
     'Noct' placed his hand to his ear once more, "I will most likely be there in two days." He whispered.
     "Good, if anything were to happen, you will pay. We dont care if you are just a machine, we will do what must be done."
     "Yes Ardyn." 'Noct' said walking back to the camp.
