Not my pic but where it all began.

Location: unknown, Niflheim

"King Iedolas Aldercapt! Wait a moment!"

"Hmph! I will not wait! I need it now, servant!" King Iedolas growled in frustration as he walked angerily forward into a lab that is pure white with a small amount of people that were scientist or doctors. The room had a feeling of purity but it didn't show that with huge tubes that contained human experiments leading from the start to the end. King Iedolas found the one he was looking for and shouted,

"Medusa!!"

"Yes, majesty?" Medusa calmly said as she is writing on a clipboard, her eyes were not at the king but a human experiment that went...wrong again.

"You had a deadline!! Is it not complete like I asked you?!" King Iedolas continued to shout at Medusa, her assistants were backing away from the King and Medusa replied,

"I know I had a deadline, my king. You expect me to follow such a short amount of time? Fool, experiments take time. What your asking me is very high, your majesty. I told you time and time again, you will be the first to know when it's complete."

"Dammit, Medusa! I gave you a warning-!!" Suddenly, Medusa gave the King a deadly glare as purple lightning is appearing around her and ready to let loose and Medusa said,

"Your majesty, I made it clear to you that I will take care of it. Do you not trust me?"

King Iedolas is silent for looking at an angry Medusa and clenched his fist to hold his words.

"I thought so. Now, if you mind, I need to get back to work and I will call you. Is that clear?"

"...Fine...Just make sure you handle this project with care, Medusa." That said, King Iedolas left the room quickly and the workers got back to work along with whispers of Medusa. 'Wow, Medusa talked back to the King! I didn't anyone would do that' 'I heard Medusa came from a royal family that shunned her' 'I hear Medusa is a monster' 'A monster? She's a scientist, isn't she?' 'Yes but...a deadly one at that' 

"Medusa, my dear!" a voice quiet the rumors as Chancellor Ardyn Izunia came into the room with flowers in his hands and walked to a focused Medusa. The workers sighed at the 100th attempt to please Medusa which results....in failure.

"I hope I wasn't interrupted your work, my love."

"You are interrupted me, idiot." Medusa replied

"Goodness, I feel your cold words like King Iedolas did early. What did you say to him this time?"

"I told him I working on it. Nothing wrong of saying that."

"Of course not, Medusa." Ardyn said as he closed the distance between them and lifted her chin to meet her eyes. Medusa's eyes are not unusual color but if you look for a long time at Medusa, you could feel the energy of hate. Medusa's hate is felt everyday in the room which begs the question, who made Medusa this angry? 

"Ah, it's refreshing to look upon your eyes again. I ask again to marry-"

"Fuck off, Ardyn. There will be no wedding between us. Got it?"

"Now, your just kidding, my dear."

"Fuck no, I'm not joking. Go to hell, Ardyn." Medusa said as she backed away from him, she started walking down the hallway and Ardyn followed.

"Medusa, I would like your answer about our marriage in the future."

Medusa clenched her teeth in annoyance of the man following her as she stopped at a massive sercurity door, she entered the password and the doors opened slowly. They walked inside a cold room where in the center lay one massive tube filled with water and wires. Inside the tube was a mere baby that was only 3 months old with (f/h/c) short hair that had many wires wrapped around the child and monitors displaying the condition of the infant.

"Oh! Now what is this, Medusa?" Ardyn asked innocently and Medusa sighed

"You are a smart man, Ardyn. You tell me." Medusa said as she is looking at the screen of the condition, Ardyn thought for a moment and his eyes widened a bit in realization.

"...Medusa, you have done it. No scientist in the world wouldn't complete something like this in a matter of months; no, you complete this in weeks. So, that leaves the question: Who does this child belong to?"

"Hmph. This is insurance for me and my client. Think of it as a trade from that royal family." Medusa said as Ardyn continued to look at the infant and asked,

"So, you decided on a name for the child?"

"Yes, it's name is Product #0."

"Boring."

"What?"

"You heard me. Boring name, Medusa. Let's see...hmm...I got it! How about (f/n)?" Ardyn asked as Medusa gave him a look and said,

"Why would name the child (f/n)?"

"I think it's a beautiful name, don't you think? Plus, if the child does become a weapon; it needs a human name, Medusa."

"....Sigh, very well. It will be named (f/n)."

"Excellent! It feels like our first child!"

"Go to hell, Ardyn."

As promised, I have a chapter about (f/n)'s life before meeting Noctis. Surprised? Medusa threating the emperor and Ardyn lovestruck with Medusa?Well, this is the beginning of what had happened. I hope you like it and there is more to come. Plus, I wanted more of Medusa and Ardyn interaction.
