Noctis Lucis

40

Scene 1 : Whispers Among the Tomes setting : The Royal Archives, a quiet chamber lined with stained glass windows and shelves of ancient tomes. Magical glyphs glow faintly in the stone walls. Noctis is flipping through a worn book on Lucian bloodlines. He notices a presence nearby— someone already there, reading quietly in the light of a floating crystal lamp. Scene 2 : Embers and Evening light setting: The Royal Garden Terrace of insomnia, just past dusk. Trees laced with fairy lights hum with magic. A long wooden table sits under a hanging crystal lantern, surrounded by flowerbeds and flickering fire pits. The setting is casual— no guards, no ceremony. Just food, laughter, and fresh air.

Crowe grew up an orphan on the outskirts of Lucis. Her rare gift for magic earned her a place in the Kingsglaive. Her fellow soldiers are the only family she knows, although she grows tired of hearing Libertus Ostium say she is like a little sister to him.
