Chapter 42: Lightning and Darkness

Noctis POV

We headed into the raging storm where the rain and wind are strong. Sai leading the way to the location of Ramuh's blessing is something new but yet concerning. I couldn't believe spirits are living inside Alice and one of them is possessing her. My group is silent from the conversation coming up until now.

Flashback

"I want to know more about the Grand Masters and the Horror of the Grand Masters," I asked as Sai shaking her head, I gritted my teeth and continued,

"We know so little about the Grand Masters, the least you spirits can do is tell us more!"

"...If I do that, the traitor will come after you, King of Stone." Sai replied in a cold tone

"Why? Are you scared?"

"You should be!" Sai shouted with energy swirling around Alice's body as if protecting from something else.

"Can I ask why, Sai? As far as we know the traitor, Gentiana said the traitor draws near and we don't know who or what the traitor looks like." Ignis asked politely to get some answers from Sai whose energy barrier calmed down and Sai looked...frightened.

"...The traitor as you know is a Grand Master and now...has no body." Sai said as my friends and I gave Sai a confused look

"No body?" Prompto muttered to be sure what he heard was correct

"Once a Grand Master's body is destroyed, the soul doesn't rest but corrupts the very soul of a person and then...nothing," Sai said as my mind is reeling in of the words that were said and Gladiolus asked,

"If that is true, then is Alice's body being corrupted while your spirits are possessing her?"

"No, we are blessed by the heavens and can safely help this Grand Master."

"...The Horror of the Grand Masters, what is that all about, Sai?" I asked

"The Horror of the Grand Masters is where the traitor is born and the wrath of the Astrals was sent to destroy the creations of all. Regardless of who or what they were." Sai said as she took a breath and continued,

"I said too much now. Let's go find Ramuh's blessing, I can help you with that."

Flashback ends

Sai lead us to a tall white tree that had no leaves but I felt energy calling to me. My feet lead me closer to the tree as purple lightning began to appear and my mind became blank for a moment. I regain consciousness of where I was and said,

"I remember...back in Tenebrae with Gentiana..."

"The revelation of the Stormsender awaits the King. Hurry hence the eye of the storm. Foreign hordes fear the True King's ascension. The fearful seek to seal the path of what must come." Gentiana said in my thoughts as Sai looks at me with a small smile knowing what they heard too. Sai starting to lead the way again to the second location.

"What is it? Another headache, Noct?" Prompto asked as he is worried about me since last time.

"I hear her-Gentiana," Noctis replied

"Divine voices in your head again?" Gladiolus asked

"Hopefully it won't amount to the same headache it did with Archaean," Ignis said as Sai chuckled at Ignis, we raised our brows on what was funny to Sai and she said,

"King of Stone, you need to learn to listen more to your ancestor's power then being ignorant."

"What is that supposed to mean, Sai?" I asked raising a brow in confusion and a bit angry of Sai words.

"Listen and you will know," Sai replied with a small smile as she continued to lead the way to the next location.

Sai makes no sense...I wish Alice would be here with us. I'm really worried

"The covenant is forged but the revelation awaits. Make now for the Stormsender and let judgment passed." Gentiana said in my mind.

"Noct! You okay?" Prompto asked in concern as my hands were shaking off a headache

"Yeah. Another reminder to receive the blessing." I replied

"That divine's power is just waiting for you," Gladiolus added on as we keep moving with Sai leading the way.

"Only the Caelum family can have the blessings, young ones. Come, it's not far now." Sai says as we got to the second location of the same tree but this time, lightning is striking at the branches. It looked to be that the tree is acting as a lightning rod. Once again, my hands began to feel the same energy from the last tree. I raised my right hand to the tree as the lightning energy began to shine and went inside me.

"Well done, King of Stone. Let's move-!!!!" Sai snapped Alice's head above the sky as if something is coming, she threw a light transparent sphere at us and the sphere surrounded us.

"Sai, what the hell?!" I shouted in confusion

"It's here! It's here! The Traitor!!!" Sai shouted as a dark cloud came above from the sky, the dark cloud has some red and purple light-emitting in the center. Suddenly, it went inside Alice's body and Sai screamed in pain. Sai kept repeating the words 'traitor' over and over again in agony. We tried to help Sai but the sphere seemed to keep us inside. Alice's body stopped moving as Sai mouth formed a deadly smirked and looking at us as if we were...prey. Her eyes...it has a haunting black and red.

"Hello, Noctis Luis Caelum."

We didn't speak as I think I know who this was.

"Traitor of the Grand Masters?" I asked to confirm this new person's identity

"Yes, Noctis Luis Caelum. I have been waiting for a long time to meet you."


Finally, the new chapter! Now the Chocobros meet the Traitor, I got goosebumps. I haven't forgotten about Alice aka Death Knight. That will be in the new chapter of what Alice is doing while the boys are searching for another blessing. I hope you like it and I would love your feedback on the story so far. Thank you.
