Summary
He doesn't know how it's possible - lying on the snow-covered grounds, staring up at a bleak, slate sky - but he's breathing, he's alive, there's no sword protruding from his chest and the taste of blood in his mouth. He doesn't know if this was some cruel afterlife or if the Astrals were raring for another joke. All he knows is that he's alive and he wants to go home, even when home now blurs into a whiskey-colored smile disappearing into the pastel horizons.
(Noctis wakes up in an icy tundra and decides that the gods can go fuck themselves).

Summary
There’s a peculiar kind of blue – that one that he’s seen far too often for it not to be ingrained into his mind like a permanently unmarred detail. Noctis’ eyes had that peculiar shade – the slight swath of blue that seemed to change with every nuance of his emotions. That was pure fantasy, an overly-used trope done in novels meant to flutter the heartstrings. Ignis knows that – he’s intrinsically aware of that.
Still, that doesn’t change the fact that Noctis’ eyes had always been a peculiar, shifting shade of blue. It was much like the sky, like a bright glimmering dawn. It’s been a long time since he’s last seen the dawn.
The chains that drag behind him clang like the tolls of a death knell.

Summary
“Iggy,” Noctis whispers, warmth trailing down his cheeks. “There’s nothing to forgive.”
There’s a burbling laugh under the tears, crawling out of Ignis’ lips with a sob. “Noctis, I would have killed the world if it meant saving you."
Sometimes, things are meant to happen the way they are meant to happen and no matter how many times you shuffle the cards, you’ll always be a player in an eternally changing game.

Summary
The Starscourge is gone, the Astrals have fallen to eternal sleep and Eos is slowly recovering in the aftermath. Given a second life, Noctis, together with his friends, helps the world rebuild itself, believing that he has finally been given a chance to live in peace. All was supposed to be well.
South of Gralea, however, in the lands blessed by the Astrals before their passing, news of resurgent daemon attacks begin to rise, threatening the safety of the peace afforded to Eos. To make things worse, Noctis begins to receive visions of an ancient evil that has awakened, threatening to end all existence.
In these perilous times, all must stand together or surrender and fall to the coming darkness.
