Transported To The World Of Final Fantasy XV

The Crown City Falls

READER'S POV

We got to the port and I took in the smell of the ocean and I smiled a little. Once Ignis parked the car, we got put and I looked around.

'Wow! It's so beautiful here! When was the last time I went to the beach? I must have been nine or ten the last time I took a boat trip to an island.'

"Somebody seems excited to be here," Noctis commented making me blush a little.

"Was it that obvious?"

"Your face lit up the moment we got here."

"Hehe, that's because I haven't been to the beach since I was little, can you blame me?"

"Not at all, it makes you look cute."

I blushed bright red when Noctis said this.

"Don't say stuff like that Noct!!"

Noctis started laughing and then Ignis spoke up.

"That's enough with the flirting you two, we didn't come here to have fun, we're supposed to be on the next ferry to the island."

Noctis and I sighed disappointedly.

"Party pooper," I mumbled.

"Spoilsport," Noctis mumbled.

We walked along the bridge to the port but, we began to hear people chatting about the boats being cancelled due to enemy ships.

'Uh oh, if I recalled correctly, those guys were supposed to get the boat to the island but, Ardyn is supposed to show up, we get an egg from that large bird and the next day, Noctis will find out that King Regis and the Crown city have...'

I wondered if I should tell them but, they probably wouldn't give me anyway. We got to the restaurant until Ardyn appeared. A shiver went through my spine when we saw him.

The others haven't realised that he's Noctis' ancestor and our worst enemy bit, I figured it was best to stay quiet about that. Ardyn looked at us and then he spoke up.

"I'm afraid you're out of luck."

"Are we?" Noctis asked him.

"The boats bring you here."

"What about them?" Prompto asked him.

"Well, they'll not take you forth."

"And what's your story?" Gladio asked him.

"I'm an impatient traveller, ready to turn ship."

We watched Ardyn walk past us as he continued.

"The cease-fire is getting us nowhere."

Suddenly, Ardyn tossed a coin to Noctis but, Gladio caught it in time. He and Noctis looked at it and he asked him.

"What's this? Some sort of souvenir?"

"Consider it your allowance."

"And who is allowing us?"

"A man of no consequence."

"Yeah right," Noctis mumbled as we watched him leave but, I, on the other hand, glared at him.

Once the boys went ahead of me, Adreyen suddenly came back and he held my shoulder tightly. I froze on the spot and then he whispered in my ear.

"I know who you are and I also know that you're not from this world. You better watch your back, demons love to lurk in the middle of the night."

"I'm not scared of you and I already know what you're up to but, I won't say a word what you're planning, it's not like they'll believe me anyway."
