Prompto The Oracle

[chocobosnap]

 The Empire came for Tenebrae with a ferocity far exceeding their expectations. 

For better, or worse, they decided that surrender was the best course of action and the people of Tenebrae were rounded up and subjugated according to Emperor Aldercapt's will. 

One reason for taking Tenebrae was to capture the oracle, one young Prompto who took his escort in stride as he was taken from his home and moved deep into Niflheim. 

From that moment, he lost his connection to Lucis, and his life completely changed. 

Noctis had been staying with them back then, when the attack came, but he was gone now, presumably back to Insomnia.

There was a lot to catch up on. So much neither of them had said, and now that they were free from their political yokes (and Prompto his maybe even literal chains) for the most part... Now might be the only time.

He nods once to the former Glaive, but gave him a look as though he would need to speak with him later.

"We'll talk later," he said to both of them, really. After all, it wouldn't be good to keep a god waiting. "Gladio."

"Right," Gladio replied, nodding to Libertus. "We got a tent set up in the nearby haven. It's not much, but it's dry." He'd lead them to it while Ignis stayed behind to keep an eye on the two royals. The two were capable, but Ignis knew their shortcomings in defense as well as he did.

Plus, he's a human space heater. He'd be able to help keep a certain someone warm until they could dry off. The other three wouldn't be far behind. Especially since Noctis already let go and headed deeper in to the final shrine.

"Dry sounds perfect right about now." Libertus commented with a smile. He moved to Prompto's side, pulling his arm over his shoulders to help keep him on his feet.

"I'll see you later, Noct." Prompto called behind him as they left towards the haven. His steps were slow and unsteady, but at least it wasn't far.

Libertus had a bag of things for Prompto, so when they got in to the haven, he'd be able to change.

"Have you gotten to see much?" Prompto asked Gladio politely.

Ignis stepped forward after they left and gestured at Lunafreya. "Highness, if you would." She could lead the way, just in case there were monsters lingering about, but Prompto would have warned him, wouldn't he?

"I wonder if he knows how to fight." He mused thoughtfully.

"See you," Noctis said with a wave. Even if it was unseen. He knew Prompto would be in good hands with his Shield and Libertus. There were few others he trusted as much, though part of him wondered just what happened to Nyx.

"Of course," Luna replied with a nod, moving to stand beside her husband. her hand always ready to summon her rapier if needed, but if the Oracle made it through unscathed, she doubted there would be any troubles.

"Considering how long he's been forced to be the Empire's PR? Doubt it." Noctis mutters darkly. After all, why would they teach their puppet to fight? It leaves a sour taste in his mouth, but he forces himself not to think on it. After all, he has to face the Fulgarian soon.

Meanwhile, Gladio stayed close. With Libertus helping support Prompto, there would be little the former Glaive could do to defend them should the Niffs drop in. "Yeah. The Marshal sent Noct on a mission of his own, locating the royal tombs." He answered just as politely. A bit gruff, but somehow gentle despite remaining on alert. Though, not enough to smirk in amusement. "Still wanna pick the brain of whoever thought it was a good idea to stick a tomb in a volcano of all things."

Ignis walked behind them, keeping his eyes peeled, but there didn't seem to be any daemons around, nor any other creatures, so he didn't feel the need to draw his weapons either. It was still raining, and hopefully once they calmed Ramuh down, it would stop.

"It was just a thought, I suppose not if he has been protected all this time." If one could consider being protected as part of being a prisoner, Ignis supposed.

Prompto laughed slightly. "Ah, the royal tombs. That makes sense, although I wouldn't have picked a volcano myself." He smiled.

Libertus can thankfully, handle it when Prompto stumbles a little bit. "We're almost there, I think, Oracle." He said kindly. He could carry him if he needed to."
