My King (Noctis X Reader)

Chapter 11

As we continued to follow Ardyn to the Meteor the next day, Ignis had given us another one of his mini history lessons. The Archaean, also known as Titan, is one of the Six gods. When the Meteor fell, Titan had caught it and has been holding it up ever since. Eventually, we arrived upon a metal gate. This gate was similar to the one that blocked Duscae. This must be the empires doing. Noct parked alongside Ardyn's car, so we could talk.

"Well, looks like we're not getting through," I said in disappointment.

"Don't give up so easily," Ardyn teased.

"Better not be a set up," Noct warned in an annoyed tone.

"Have I given you reason to doubt me?" He responded, seeming slightly offended. He then began yelling to whoever was behind the gate, "Hello! It's me! Be so kind as to open up!" The gate opened without a moment of hesitation. We all looked at him with suspicion. How could he have any authority over the empire? Who is he? He smirked, "I may not look like much, but I do have some influence."

"Yea," I started, "we see that."

He flashed another impish grin, "Your audience with divinity lies ahead,"

As Noct drove passed the gate Gladio spoke, "I've met some weirdos..."

"Hope we don't meet that one again," Ignis responded.

We drove down a long and dangerous path until we reached what appeared to be some old ruins. The space ahead was too small for the Regalia, so we decided to go the rest of the way on foot. It wasn't long until we reached a dead end. However, there was another royal grave here.

"Is that what I think it is?" Prompto asked.

"Didn't expect to find a royal tomb here." Ignis answered.

Noct headed for the weapon in the tomb, "Let's just grab it and go,"

The tomb was almost hanging off of a cliff. I felt nervous about Noct walking so casual towards it, so I stayed close just in case.

After obtaining the power of his ancestors, the ground began to rumble. We all stumbled to our feet and started to panic.

"Get away! Quickly!" Ignis yelled. It was too late though. The ground beneath us was collapsing, and Noct was starting to fall off the cliff.

Everything felt like slow motion. Without thinking I quickly lunged towards Noct and grabbed him by his wrist. We held onto each others wrists as Noct hung off the edge.

I did my best to pull him up, but the ground continue to shake and crumble. Eventually, both of us fell. Noctis quickly held me tight against his chest and within seconds we hit the ground. I could hear the air being knocked out of him as his back hit the jagged rocks.

I nearly jumped off of him in fear that I may be hurting him, "Are you ok?"

"Oh yea. I'm great," he said in between coughs.

Before I can respond the Meteor began to move. I looked up and gasped in disbelief as the huge rock lifted and a head appeared from underneath.

Titan.

After standing straight up, still holding the Meteor, he spoke. His words were loud and foreign and each word that left his lips sounded like a laugh.

"Goddamn. This is the Archaean?" Noct said.

"Yea... And I think we may have pissed the big guy off." I responded.

Suddenly as Titan spoke Noct kneeled in pain from another headache, "He's trying to tell me something. But what?" He forced out with a pained expression.
