On our way to Galdin Quay we decided to make a pit stop and have lunch at the Crows Nest. As we ate the boys did their best to include me in their group more. However, Noctis just picked at his food and stared out the diner window. I glanced at him every now and then, feeling slightly concerned.

After finishing our meal, we exited the diner. On our way to the car a beautiful black dog approached us, "Umbra?" Noct said, mainly to himself. He knelt down beside the dog and began to pet him.

The boys surrounded him, feeling happy to see Umbra. I stayed back however, in fear that Noct might snap at me again for getting too close. Noct then untied something that had been strapped to the dog's back. It was some kind of notebook.

He opened the book and smiled to himself. He then looked around, clearly no wanting us to see what was in it. He then pulled a pen from his back pocket and began writing. This peaked my curiosity and I casually stood on my tows to look over his shoulder. I couldn't see much, but I did see one word:

"Luna"

This must be how they talk to each other. After finishing what he was writing, Noct gave the book back to the dog and pet him one last time. The dog turned around, presumably to deliver the book back to Lunafreya.

"I know. You're not gonna tell me," Prompto said.

"Then don't ask." Noct replied bluntly.

"What was that about?" Prompto asked anyway. Noct scoffed.

"Hey, I see the sea!" Prompto yells. As we drive down the twisted road we marvel at the beautiful view of the ocean.

"I 'sea' it, too!" Noct says. As we continue to drive a small gazebo like structure comes into view.

"That's Galdin Quay" Ignis informs.

"Kinda wanna go for a dip" Gladio says as he stands up in the Regalia for a better look.

As I gaze upon Galdin I see something strange in the distance. It looks like two enormous horns poking out of the water in the distance.

"What's that behind it?" I ask.

"That a big mountain?" Noct pitches in.

Ignis answers in a dull tone, as if to show how much smarter he is, "No, it's an island."

Prompto looks back at Noct and I, "Nobody goes to Galdin for an island," he says, "they go to kick back and get messages."

"And savor the sea food," Ignis adds, "it's famously delicious."

Once we reach the parking lot and get out of the car, Prompto starts running around to take photos. Gladio, Prompto, and Noct really wanted to just hang out and relax for a bit, but Ignis said there was no time.

We all walked along the dock towards the restaurant and hotel that sits on the water. There should be a boat in the back that will take us to Altissia.

Once we reach the restaurant an employee greets us, "Welcome to Galdin Quay!" We all stop in our tracks to see a very strange man walking towards us. He looks like he's in a very large, dark robe with many layers underneath. He wears a hat of a similar color on top of his dark reddish-purple locks.

"I'm afraid your out of luck" he said in a quiet and ominous voice.

"Are we?" Noct responded snobbishly. What a stuck-up prince. The man looked back and gestured to where the boats should be.

"The boats bring you here..."

"And?" I ask crossing my arms. How did he even know we were here for the boats? I stepped in front of Noct defensively. I didn't need to look back to know he was glaring at me.
