Zodia Xylia Caelum is the younger sister of Noctis. Unlike him, she has suffered from an illness since birth that hinders her from traveling anywhere. Forced to stay at the Citadel, Ignis becomes her teacher and helps her with everything. The two ar...
"Iggy! Iggy! Wake up!" Prompto shook the man from his slumber. Ignis opened his eyes slowly before sitting up on the edge of the bed. Noctis, Prompto, and Gladio stood before him with grins.
"You've been asleep for almost two days. The train just arrived at Cartanica," Noctis said.
"I did not realize how much time had passed," Ignis states.
"Nah, don't worry 'bout it. You look brand new!" Prompto chants joyfully.
Not only did he look well-rested, he felt as if he made a small trip to heaven and back. After seeing Zodia in his dream and hearing her soothing voice, he felt a ton of weight lift from his shoulders. The moment her lips met his, that's when his whole being felt bliss-a sensation that melted him to the core. He had never felt such a peaceful sensation before and he hoped he would get to experience again.
Gladio raised an eyebrow and smirked at the strategist. "Dream about someone?"
Ignis couldn't help but put on a small smile. "Is it that prominent?"
"You were smiling like I've never seen before in your sleep, Specs," Noctis informs.
"I suppose I was. A dream such as this one comes once in a few years."
Prompto pursed his lips with scrunched eyebrows. "I wish I could sleep like that."
Ignis got to his feet, his body not even hinting at soreness. "Shall we?"
"Let's go find that royal tomb," Noctis said. In a single file, they exit the cabin and make their way to the nearest passenger car. Prompto had to push past them when he completely forgot his camera. The others decided to wait for the blonde to retrieve his device before leaving the train. Prompto returned minutes later with his camera held tightly in both hands. "Alright, now I'm ready!"
Noctis led the others off the train, their eyes scanning their new environment. Prompto, being the avid photographer of the group, spun to his left with his camera raised. When he focused the lens, the sight he saw made his entire body stiffen. His camera slipped from his hands, revealing his wide sapphire eyes.
A girl began giggling as she picked up the camera and handed it back to him. "You goofball. You don't want to break your camera."
Her name rolled of his tongue without a single thought in mind. "Zodia."
When the others heard Prompto say the princess' name, they turned to see what was going on. At the sight, they all felt their hearts stop. There stood the missing princess. Her clothes were different, a set they had never seen before. What piqued their interest was the white strip in her hair and one of her eyes were golden, but they decided to leave the matter alone until later.

She smiled at them, which was enough to make Noctis snap back to reality. He ran to his sister and enveloped her in a bone-crushing hug. Then, Prompto jolted from his spot and joined the hug. He had dropped his camera again, no care in the world for the device as he was too enthralled in the joyous reunion.
