24 Interesting eyes, part 3 (1/2)

After a few minutes there was silence, Noctis managed to cut the bond with very much effort. He tried sitting up, but his body still ached from the pain. Not giving up, he pushed himself to at least stand, while leaning against the table. The ache in his body began to go away.

”Are you okay Noc?” Promto was the first to speak, ”yeah, I'm fine, thanks Ignis for helping me out there. How did you even know what was the cause?”

”I have been studying your royal necklaces for some time now, it was only a theory I had for some time now, but today you just proved it,” Ignis explained with a smirk on his face, he was so happy like a child getting a new toy, for finding this out.

Before Noctis could speak, someone else chimed in, ”wait, let me get this straight, you meant to say to me, that you didn't even know it could work!” Gladiolus, that was silent the whole time, spoke loud enough, making Promto almost jump out of skin.

Promto was in the beginning, always careful with Gladiolus, he heard that Glad has a little of a temper on him, but as he got to know him, he found out that he isn't so bad. Gladiolus is the muscle in the group, and also the eldest. Glad takes his job very seriously. He also likes to speak his mind, which usually scares Promto, because Glad never speaks softly, and with his gruff voice, it makes it extra scary.

The others don't pay much attention to it, but Promto still isn't use to the way he speaks.

”Well, it is true, I didn't know it would work, but in the end it did, so instead of trying to find fault in the way that I did it, try thanking me,” Ignis said in a matter-of-fact tone, earning a mumble from Gladiolus.

At that moment, Noctis remembered something that Ignis had said, ”Ignis, you said, that the moment a gave my necklace to Snow, a bond was formed,” Ignis turned his gaze towards Noctis, ”Yes, and when one of them feels pain, the other one would feel it too,” Ignis answered.

That's when realization hit him.

”Noctis, what is it, you're very pale?” Promto asked.

”Snow, s-she.... she....” Noctis struggled to speak, he didn't know why he didn't realise it sooner.

His friends then also realised what he was trying to say, but before they could say anything, Noctis took off in the direction that Snow went earlier in the evening.

.....

Snow could feel her body weakening, she lost to much blood, and she could feel her power being drained from her. She wondered if this is how it's going to end, she didn't even put up much of a fight so how was she even going to beat Rafël?

Suddenly, out of no where, she heard someone yelled, the voice sounded familiar, but she couldn't think straight.
