My Light

We were in the dining car as the train sped through cities and tunnels. I shivered a bit, feeling the cold inside the train. The others decided to eat after a while of being on the train, but as for me, smelling the food made me sick. Luckily, Akiko brought barf bags for me. Noctis rubbed my back once I finished puking, and threw the bag into a trash can. "You feeling a bit better?" he asks me as I lean back on his chest and he rubbed my arms. "Not really. I never knew being pregnant could be this irritating." I say as I rubbed my stomach. "I can make you some tea. Maybe that'll help ease you a bit." Aileen says and I nod. "Oi! Uh... attention all passengers! We're on our way to our final destination in the Imperial capital. Enjoy the ride. I'll be in touch if anything comes up." Biggs says through the intercom as Aileen handed my a cup of tea, and some crackers to eat. I take a sip of the tea, warming me up on the inside, and easing me a bit with my nausea. "Look at all that snow. No wonder it's so cold in here." Gladio said as he looks out the window, and I eat a cracker. "We must be approaching the Glacian's cadaver." Ignis says as he taps his fingers on the table. "Won't be a blessing if all we got's a body." Akiko says, and Gladio nods. "Let's hope we pass through the gorge without an incident." Aileen says, and we all nod in agreement. "It's what after the gorge I'm worried about." Gladio says to us.

I take another sip of tea as Noctis rubs my stomach and kisses my hair. "Once we get through Ghorovas, we're there." Aileen says as she stares out the window. "We've come quite a long way." Ignis says. We wait a while in the dining car. I sat with Noctis as I finished my tea, Aileen and Akiko play a game of cards, Ignis sat there listening to whenever Akiko lost to Aileen, and Gladio stood up and walked around the train to stretch his legs. until the train comes to a stop. "I wonder what it could be this time." Gladio says as he walks through the door. "Attention, eh!" Biggs says through the intercom. "Yeah?" Gladio responds to him, turning towards the intercom. "What's wrong?" Noctis asks as we both get out of the booth we were sitting in. "You may have noticed we've stopped. As for the course... Outside, ya think?" Bigg asks. "We'll take a look." Noctis tells him. "Oh. Well." Biggs didn't mind to stop us, and I roll my eyes as I shook my head. "I hope it's just a quick snow-shoveling job." Akiko says as we make our way to the exit. "You and me both." I say as we walk.

*~*~

The boys went outside to check the commotion, as Aileen, Akiko, and I stayed inside since the boys thought it'd be too risky for me to go out in the cold. We the boys fight the demons from the windows and I couldn't help, but feel useless. There sure were a lot of demons due to there being a limited amount of sunlight now. After a fighting a huge demon later, the boys decided to come in to warm up. "My, my, what a marvelous job your husband did out there." we hear a voice behind us say, and we turn to see Ardyn. "You! How did you get in here!?" I ask angrily as I glare at him. "The Oracle sacrificed herself to save you, but I'm here to rearrange that." he says with an evil smirk on his face. "Aura, run!" Aileen says as she and Akiko summon their weapons. I dash out of the car only to see fog surround the next car, and making it chilly. I continued to run through the cold, until a gust of wind blew forcefully, sending a violent snowstorm inside the train. "Precious princess. There is no escape from me." I hear Ardyn's voice say from behind me. "Aura!" I hear Noctis' voice yell through the violent winds. "Noctis!" I yell back as I try to make my way through the snowstorm. I suddenly feel a hand grab my arm, and violently throw me down. I look up to see the crimson haired man standing above me.

I backed away as I stared up at Ardyn with wide eyes as he took slow steps toward me. I then feel a hand on my waist, and see Noctis next to me. "A coldness that can only be hers." Ardyn says, and the cold finally gets to me. Noctis pulls me close to him as he shakes from the cold. I then see a figure standing afar, and the figure walks up to us, finally revealing Gentiana. "Ahh, the face you wore the day you..." Ardyn didn't finish his saying as Gentiana held up a finger to her lips, then touched Ardyn, making him freeze. "Let it now be done... as promised to the Oracle." she says, then transforms into the Glacian. "Gentiana. It's you." Noctis says as he looks up at her. "You're the Glacian." I say in surprise, as the snowstorm disappeared. "Oh King of Kings, restore Light with your rightful Queen unto the world." she says and Luna's trident then appears, hovering over the Glacian's hands. I reached over, and grabbed it from her with Noctis grabbing it as well. I then get a vision of Luna speaking with Ravus about Noctis and I. I then snap back to reality to see her trident in my hand, then disappear into crystals. I stared at the frozen Ardyn, and Noctis shatters him into pieces. Noctis falls to the ground, and I head back to where Aileen and Akiko are to see them passed out on the ground. "Aileen. Kiko. Get up." I say as I shake the two. The two regain consciousness, and looked at me. "Aurie, are you ok? Did he hurt you?" Akiko asks as she stands abruptly, and looks at me worriedly.
