Not my pic.

This magitek machine is a pain in the ass. I know I said that but I mean it this time!!!

Despite it being a big ugly machine, it has freaking missiles, lightning on the ground, and stomps. Who created this machine, huh?! Then if things were simple enough, magitek troops and drones came to our location. Fucking fantastic!!! I decided to vent my anger on my opponents since it was their fault. As I was focusing on destroying the enemy head-on, Noctis used their cannons to defeat the upcoming forces and it was a brawl to see who can kill who. Luck must be on my side since the soldiers didn't say my title and I was relieved. After the first wave, Noctis and I went to the magitek generator to destroy it but of course, it would be protected by the same fricking machine. Plus with more troopers and magiteks on the way, I lost it completely with rage. The wave of soldiers didn't stop and either did this damn magitek armor. Our last resort: summon the lightning god. Noctis had summoned him and let's just say he ended this whole annoying situation. After the lightning god was done, he disappeared and Noctis came to us. The whole base was...destroy in a way. Thankfully, we went back to the Regalia. As we were about to go in, Prompto said,

"Guys?"

We turned around to see an old rival of mine, Ravus. He wore his white and black uniform as always. His sword in hand as he is walking towards us and my mind is in panic. Since he was one of the few that knew me, this could go bad.

"Long has it been, Noctis," Ravus said in a bored tone

"Ravus," Noctis said 

"You received the Storm's blessing and yet, you know nothing of the consequences," Ravus said as he pointed his sword at Noctis

"Watch it." Gladiolus tried to interfere but sword at his neck and Ravus said,

"Be still. All of you." 

"Not good..." Prompto muttered as I charged at him, he blocked my charge and I managed to push him back.

"What are you doing here, White idiot?" I asked 

"Ah, Alice. Been too long since I've seen your face. You should've died a long time ago." Ravus replied as he is vexed to see me, I flicked him off and said,

"You still be a lackey, I see."

"Hmph, this has nothing to do with you despite the fact, you are a Grand Master." 

"You know I'm a Grand Master? How, White idiot?" I said in a demanding tone as he took a fighting stance, we heard someone clapping their hands and turned to see it that person is Ardyn. 

"I say that is far enough. A hand, highness and Dove?" Ardyn asked in a playful matter as he raised his hand in greeting

"Not from you." Noctis and I said in unison in a growl

"Oh but I'm here to help," Ardyn replied 

"And how is that?" Ignis questioned 

"By taking the army away." 

"You expect us to believe that?" Gladio asked as Ardyn walked towards me, he smiled and replied,

"The next time we meet, it will be across the seas. Just so happens we have business of our own with the tutelary deity. Don't we?"

Ardyn continued to stare at me as if I should reply, my mouth remained closed and glared at him with menace. Suddenly, my eyes saw a short and blurred image of a water dragon and the ghost lady. I gritted my teeth from not feeling weak at the moment but Ardyn grabbed my chin and my eyes faced him again.

"It's a pity, my dove. Once a poor child and now, a blinded warrior with no path to take. I wonder what your choices will be in the future, Grand Master of Insomnia." He whispered the words to me and my skin crawled. I forcibly backed away from him and went to Noctis who grabbed me. He shielded me and Ardyn said, 

"Fare thee well, your majesty, and safe travels."

As Ravus and Ardyn left, Prompto let out a breath and asked,

"You guys, know that guy?"

"Ravus Nox Fleuret, first son of Tenebrae and elder brother to Lady Lunafreya," Ignis answered as we took a moment of a breath and headed to the Regalia. Finally, we were on the road again and took a moment to collect my thoughts.

"It's a pity, my dove. Once a poor child and now, a blinded warrior with no path to take. I wonder what your choices will be in the future, Grand Master of Insomnia."

Those words made me think of a few things. Recalling Ardyn's words of how he knew the Grand Masters and Ravus knew as well. Did that mean...Luna knew too? 

"So help me figure this out-that was Luna's brother?" Prompto asked still confused about Ravus who we meet earlier.

"The high commander himself-wartime makes for quick promotions," Ignis answered

"Even a son of Tenebrae can rise to the top," Gladiolus added

"But why would he want to lead their army?" Prompto continued to ask as my mouth still didn't move, my fingers weave together and shaking. My head is pounding with voices that said 'traitor' 'non-believer' and 'monster'.

"Who cares?" Noctis said not caring

"Certainly formidable enough on his own," Ignis said

"If Ravus wants power, I'll give him a taste," Noctis commented as his eyes turned to me, he frowned and asked,

"Alice, how do you know him?"

I was still quiet.

"Alice, you ok?" Prompto asked who is starting to worried

"...Loud..." I said a word but it didn't belong to me

"Loud?" Noctis asked in confusion

"Can we...stop for a...moment...I don't feel good." I said as Ignis pulled over on the side of the road, I forcibly got out of the car and threw up. Noctis came to me as he patted my back for relief, Prompto gasped and shouted,

"Alice, you're...blood it's black!!"

Shit! What is happening to me?!

"So loud!!!" I shouted in frustration as my body felt heavy again and I fell to the ground. My skin felt a cool hand on my face and I look up to see a woman with black hair and closed eyes. She began to mutter words of a language I didn't know and she said,

"Rest, Grand Master."

Noctis pov

I tried to go to Alice but Gentiana appeared before us and started to speak in an odd language. Alice began to glow a light blue aura as Gentiana raised her hand above Alice and water suddenly appeared. Alice still coughs out blood mixed with black as the water looked clear with a green light. The water splashed over Alice as she stops coughing, her hand reaches out and said,

"Who are...you?" She muttered as she fainted into Gentiana's hands, she carried to me and I took Alice in my hands. Like before, Gentiana placed the same symbol on her forehead like last time.

"The Grand Master is in pain." Gentiana said

"How do I help her, Gentiana!" I asked in a panic state and Gentiana shook her head

"You can't interfere with the Grand Master's pain. She must bear with it alone. Her redemption is coming."
