Noctis closed his eyes at the bright light, blinking rapidly as he tried to focus his vision. He frowned, not understanding why the light was affecting his vision so much, but suddenly the room around him was spinning and he was no longer in the icy cavern. Noctis' stomach dropped in fear when he saw himself back in that demented white room. He began to tremble as he heard whimpers behind him but he couldn't force himself to look back. He knew what was behind him, but his body was slowly turning, his muscles stiff as he tried to force himself to stop. He didn't want to look, he didn't what to see, but when he did he started breathing heavily, his eyes widening in fear and terror as he saw himself. The prince was on the floor, the same gag and blindfold on his face. He was laying down on his side on the bloody floor, his back covered with bleeding wounds as Ardyn moved behind him, pulling his hips closer to his body and digging his hands against the cuts on his back. A camera light was flashing and he could see the flash through the blindfold and it wouldn't stop. Even as he tried to crawl, digging his nails against the wooden floor, leaving bloody scratches as his nails ripped and broke.
Noctis screamed, covering his face with both of his hands. The prince's eyes were flickering red and then blue, but he couldn't stop what he was seeing. It needed to stop, he wanted it to stop and he fell on the ground on his knees, his forehead resting against the icy floor as he slowly started to scratch at his lids to get the mental image out of his head.
Ardyn was next to him right away, his hand glowing red as he stood behind Noctis and forced his head back by his hair. He held tightly onto the prince, his other hand moving quickly near Noctis' face as the red threads slowly forced his eyes open. The red spell slowly was consumed by Noctis' eyes, not allowing him to blink as Ardyn kept holding him. The prince let out a soft noise, his eyelids feeling so heavy then. He couldn't stay awake anymore, and he closed his eyes, his body leaning against Ardyn as the chancellor quickly picked him up in his arms and smiled at the group.
“I believe it is time for us to take our leave. It was a pleasure meeting you all.” Ardyn nodded his head and waved a small good bye while still holding onto the prince. The group could do nothing as the chancellor walked away with Noctis. Ravus glanced back at his sister one last time and was quick to follow. He was holding his side, feeling a broken rib from Noctis' kick. Ardyn turned to face the group of friends one last time and then dropped a magic sphere, the explosion making the cave collapse and separating them once more.
Luna forced her trembling legs to move. She quickly ran towards the rest of the group and her body began to glow a golden color. She focused her magic around her, channeling her powers around her fallen friends. Little by little they began to heal, the wounds and broken bones healing, almost as if time was reversing herself. She kept going, not caring about how long she had to wait. They couldn't follow Noctis like this, they couldn't find him when they were hurt. Noctis...what happened to him. Luna felt her will quivering but quickly focused in the task at hand, she needed to heal them first.
Ignis was the first one to get on his feet, but Cor and Gladio quickly follow. Nyx was slowly getting to his feet groaning as he did so. Prompto was the last one to stand and quickly cleaned up the blood on his face. By the time the group was fully healed Luna was on her knees, panting and sweating as she kept herself from collapsing with her hands. Cor quickly ran towards the oracle, making sure she was okay. What follow next was silence, the group was looking in between one another, but words were lost at the moment.
“I believe things just got a lot more complicated.” Ignis was the first one to break the silence and the group could only nod in agreement. It did make it harder to try to rescue a prince that was no longer on their side. A prince that was a walking weapon.
They were lucky to be still alive, but now they weren't so sure if the next time was going to be the same.
