Noctis playing with fire (or ice, or lightning)

Minifill: Noctis playing with fire (or ice, or lightning)
Date: 2018-01-10 06:34 pm (UTC)Also, for context, this is after they leave Insomnia but before they go to Galdin.
---
It was always a strange sensation, pulling energy from an elemental deposit.
Back in Insomnia, energy was stored and refined; kept around in cylindrical containers for easy use. Mostly to the benefit of the Kingsglaive if they were ever in need, but of course the Citadel had large supplies of them holed up in storage. When Noctis started learning magic, it wasn’t just the use of the crystal's power. His father showed him how to pull that energy into himself, how to change and stretch it. How to condense it. How to use it. He'd placed a hand upon a container of bright burning energy and lifted his other hand…and from his fingertips sprouted little flickers of flame. The lesson had gone on over how to press the energy into little balls, easy to stick in flasks and hand to his crownsguard: those who could decidedly not use magic on their own. But it had never left Noctis' mind how easily that raw energy could be manipulated. It had taken him years to achieve even a fraction of the same control.
This, however…
What was stored in those containers was insignificant to the sort of energy Noctis could pull from an elemental deposit. This was raw energy: untamed and unrefined. It warmed Noctis' entire body, from the tips of his toes to the top of his head, in a way he'd never experienced. As if that very fire was running through his veins. It certainly explained why his condensed magic created such devastating results. Where his formal instruction demanded that he keep the elements separated and spells small, he'd found that mixing elements together, alongside the ridiculous amount of power stored in natural deposits, created some of the most destructive spells Noctis had ever seen. Not to mention that the release of energy he felt when he let loose these spells sent chills down his spine.
That was the most intriguing part, he figured. That the energy stayed within him even when poured into flasks. It was as if the elemental magic bonded to his own until finally released. He supposed that was why creating the balls of energy themselves was never that satisfying. There had to be a proper transfer of that energy. It had to be put to use. And so, when the group made camp at the haven they'd found—the very one Noctis was using elemental deposits at, the prince settled into his chair and decided to experiment. There were a number of deposits around Leide and Noctis had filled all of the flasks they had…it wouldn’t do any harm if he expended a little of that left over energy. Holding out an arm, he aimed to do exactly that.
Eyebrows furrowed in concentration, Noctis focused all attention on his fingertips, hoping to see the same small flickers he'd witnessed his father create all those years ago. It wasn’t the easiest task…he could feel the energy well up inside him and if he wasn’t careful, it would explode in someone's face. And no one wanted that. But if he expended too little of that energy, he'd just cause a magical build-up in his arm and end up uncomfortable for the rest of the night. It was a matter of focus and control, the same sort he'd always been required to exercise in every other aspect of his life. One didn’t wield the power of the crystal with no control over it, much in the same way that one didn’t grow up in line for the throne without focus and care. He could do it then in Insomnia and he could do it now, he was certain. His eyes slipped closed and he envisioned the flame flowing through his arm and to his fingers. He controlled that flow of energy, flexing subconsciously so as to push it along. Slowly, his skin started to heat. It was a comfortable warmth reminiscent of holding cold hands in front of a warm fireplace. He opened his eyes then, hoping to find satisfactory results.
…Aaaand his arm was on fire.
He heard Prompto squawk and fall out of his chair. He heard Ignis exclaim his name worriedly and Gladio ask him what the hell he was doing. He pushed their voices out of his mind. If he allowed himself to become distracted, he'd most likely actually set himself on fire. This was his magic at work. Nothing burned; he could do this.
Determined, Noctis pushed the fire back into a concentrated point. It was a bit stubborn, flickering angrily at being condensed. Without the concise control needed to create flames in one small area, he needed to take what he'd conjured and push it into a single point. It was a similar concept to creating the balls of energy, except this time the magic had already been casted. It fought with him, as nature tended to be uncontrollable and elemental spells were always left alone after they'd been released, but eventually it started to move up his arm. It gradually packed into the space of his palm, changing from an orange-yellow to a bright blue. He wiggled his fingers through it, marveling at how it never harmed him. His finger pads were left unburnt, his palm still smooth and fleshy pink.
Leaning back, Noctis huffed at the amount of exertion it had taken to accomplish this sort of magical control. But the release of energy once again began to wash over him and he found himself smiling contentedly at the sensation. It was worth it, as far as he saw. One day, he'd reach his dad's level and achieve the fingertip flames on his first try. For now, he simply felt accomplished with the harmless fire he held in his palm, admiring it as it danced in the slight desert wind.
His friends were not as amused.
“Dude, why are you on fire??”
“I know you don’t like camping, Princess, but this is not how you get out of it.”
“I certainly hope you don’t intend on displaying this sort of behavior at your wedding, Highness.”
