Pushing through thick brush, Noctis sighs in annoyance. "Where the hell am I?" He scanned his surroundings and found concrete structures that seemed to be ruined buildings. The prince had yet to find any signs of life besides small critters like rabbits and rats. He was hoping to find help from a non-hostile person. Sadly, he hadn't come across anyone.
As he walked across the remains of a sidewalk, Noctis heard the sound of grinding nearby. Curiosity taking over his body, the prince follows the strange noise. Quietly, Noctis pushes through some tall grass and spotted a group of machines that seemed to resemble hyenas.

Without a thought in his mind, Noctis approached the machines. When he kicked a pebble near his feet, the machines snapped their gazes towards him. Their once clam blue eyes now radiated with a hostile red tint as they charged at him. With a quick flick of his wrist, Noctis tried to summon his javelin. When nothing appeared in his grasp, his eyes widened in disbelief.
Noctis tripped over his own feet when one of the machines lunged at him. Falling to the ground, he closed his eyes and awaited the pain to fester his being. When he felt nothing, Noctis opened his eyes to see the machine was dead. Checking the other machines that had chased him, he noticed they were all lifeless, as well.
"What the-how?" He asked, getting to his feet.
"You alright?" Someone asked. Noctis turns around to see a girl around his age with a bow in her hands.
"Y-Yeah. Did you kill them?"
She nods and slings her bow across her back. "I've never seen someone approach Scrappers so carelessly. What were you thinking?"
"I... uh, um... what's a Scrapper?" Noctis stumbled over his words.
"Hold on-you've never seen a Scrapper? Where are you from? I've never seen such strange clothing."
"Insomnia. And how am I the one wearing strange clothes?" Noctis gestured to her outfit.
