Alice pov

My eyes shot open to see a field of blue flowers and got up quickly. I look over myself to see I'm wearing a long black dress that had emblems of the Empire. What the hell? I checked my surroundings as my eyes saw ruins nearby and found an unexpected visitor. My feet lead me to the ruin site and stopped in front of the person.

"Are you...Luna?" I asked as the young woman turned around to face me with a smile. She has blond hair tied in the back with clear blue eye color. She is wearing a white dress and holding one of the blue flowers.

"Yes, I am. You're Alice or should I call you (y/n)? Death Knight? ÁSTRÍÐR?" Luna asked as I gave her a glare and replied,

"...You know me. How?!"

"...I've always known you, (y/n). I've seen you in my visions to dreams."

"Bullshit!" I shouted at her but looked to be unfazed

"It's true," Luna said as she walked to the bench, she sat down and held the blue flower to me

"You should have one."

"What the hell is this, Ivory Lady?" I said as Luna gave me a shocked look for a moment and laughed. I glared at her again as she continued to laugh and calmed down.

"You...really are returning to yourself, aren't you? The flower is called Sylleblossom by the way," Luna said as I gave her a confused look, she held the flower again and I took it.

"What do you mean returning?" I asked as I sat down with her and she replied,

"I mean you are incomplete person right now but slowing, you are regaining what you lost."

"Meaning?"

"It's just as I said."

"Can we stop with the fucking riddles? It's giving me a headache!! I need answers and I need to kill a certain Cherry Top!!" I said in frustration as she giggled at my words, she gazed at the flowers and asked,

"What do you remember last?"

"...I remember the Muscle God and that he said I was interfering with something. Bullshit. Then it took my strength and I'm here. Why?" I asked

"Titan was upset when you were with Noctis."

"That's a problem because?"

"...Grand Masters are viewed as monsters to the Astrals but however, they given a gift for once they complete the promise." Luna asked as I perked up to hear the word 'promise', I looked at her and asked,

"Ivory lady, can you tell me how to complete the promise?"

"Sadly, I don't know. The Astrals don't tell me anything of the promise that was made to the Grand Masters."

I snorted in frustration

"However, I can help you."

"Really? How? We're stuck here aren't we?"

"No, I'm here in spirit. You are the one that is stuck." Luna said as my eyes saw the flowers are withering, I got up to move but my feet were glued to the ground that is turning black. My eyes got a glance at Luna's form turning to dust slowly and she came to me.

"(Y/n), I need you to believe in the Astrals."

"Why? Astrals are not real!" As soon as my mouth let the words out, the darkness began to consume this world and swallowing me with it.

"Please, ÁSTRÍÐR? For Noctis?"

"Why would I..." I stopped myself as I grunted in anger of what I'm about to do "I believe in the Astrals!!"

Suddenly, light shined through the darken world and everything returned to normal. I was sitting on the bench again with Luna and my mouth let out small breaths. Feeling fear is...different. As if I was unable to do anything in my situation.

"See? Now that you believe, your journey will be ok."

"Ivory lady, what the hell was that?" I asked quickly

"...The Traitor is trying to use you again." Luna replied

"Again?"

"Do you remember when you did your dive on Noctis's memories?" Luna asked as I thought for a moment, my mind clicked at the memory and nodded.

"The Traitor is restless and...it's looking for Noctis."

"Why the vegetable hater?" I asked as Luna looked at me in confusion and I continued,

"Noctis is the vegetable hater, Ivory lady."

"...heh, you really are special to him," Luna said with a smile

"Who? Vegetable hater?"

"No...The Marshal." Luna said as my skin crawled, I shook my head in denial and Luna giggled. Suddenly, we heard a sound of bells ringing and Luna stands from the bench.

"I have to go now but I will see you again, ÁSTRÍÐR."

I wanted to stop her but the light from the sky shined bright and I was knocked out cold. My ears hear familiar voices and my eyes open again to see my allies. My body tried to move but I felt intense pain that burned through my hands and legs. Noctis helped me up but held me close to him from falling.

"Vegetable hater, I feel like shit," I said as the boys looked at me surprised and Prompto came to me with a hug.

"Welcome back, Alice!!"

"Huh?"

"Thank the heavens, you are back with us," Ignis added as he looked relieved to see me, Prompto started to say some happy nonsense and Gladiolus patted my back.

"Welcome back, kid," Gladiolus said as Noctis peeled Prompto off of me, he hugged me next and whispered,

"Don't freak us out like that again."

"...Boys, what the hell happened and why do I feel like shit? No, I feel like shit and burned?" I asked as the boys looked at each other, they looked like they were about to be in trouble and turned to look at me with uneasy smiles.

"Um, well..."
