Chapter Text
Noctis and Sarah’s journey continued. It wasn’t easy, but they made a great team. She fit in right with the guys. She even helped Ignis with his eye injury.
She just wanted to be accepted. She had hoped he would gain back his sight. She also enjoyed the camp fires, playing Kings Knight with the guys. She was almost as good as Noctis.
Their love for one another had grew tremendously. They were always there for each other. Even through Noctis’ darkest moments.
As time went on, Noctis had gained his strength.
Ignis had to bring the news that tomorrow would be a dangerous quest getting to the crystal. They had no idea what was to come, but they had to try.
After their dinner around the camp fire. Noctis and Sarah went to their tent. He laid down before she did.
“Noct, please try not do anything crazy tomorrow or should I say too much?” She looked over at him.
Noctis looked up at her with a gentle look. “I’ll do my best.” He sighed.
“Same goes for you too.” He added. Sarah laid down beside him. She caressed his hair. “I can’t loose you Noct.” She scooted close to them their bodies were touching.
“I know and I can’t loose you either.” Noctis stared into her beautiful eyes. He was enjoying her caresses. He ran his fingers up and down her back. Sarah smiled at him.
They both needed this. Noctis leaned in and kissed her lips softly. Sarah couldn’t help, but loose a little control on kissing him deeply.
“I love you Noctis.” Sarah muttered sleepily.
“I love you more.” Noctis smirked with his eyes closed.

It was the next day. Noctis woke up with Sarah laying close to him. They got up and prepared to find the crystal. When they got there they got spilt up from enemies. Noctis lost the rest of his group, he was alone. He fought through the demons trying find the crystal using the ring that Luna had delivered to him.
The power was powerful, but draining. He finally found the crystal and Ardyn. Noctis wasn’t prepared for what was to come.
Noctis began to sink into the crystal yelling out for anyone. It was too late. By the time they got there he was gone.
Sarah and the guys tried fighting Ardyn, but he disappeared.
It felt like Sarah’s heart was torn out of her chest.
“Please come back to me...” Sarah whispered holding the necklace that matched Noctis’
The sky became darkness. The sun didn’t rise anymore. Sarah and the guys were lost without him. Sarah had hope somehow that Noctis would find his way back to them. Their King would return.
Noctis stayed gone for ten years. Sarah waited for him. She couldn’t move on without him. She stayed in Hammerhead and helped Cindy a lot. She also did demon hunts along with Iris.
~*~
One day, she had heard from Cindy that Noctis had been spotted. Was she dreaming?
It was real , she watched Noctis step out of the truck that Talcott had found him on the side of the road. Noctis hair had grew out and he had a scruffy beard. Sarah didn’t care, she ran straight toward him and jumped into his arms crying.
“Oh Noct!!!” Sarah cried out.
Noctis felt his mouth dry and a lump in his throat. It had been so long. He wrapped his arms around Sarah.
“Missed me?” Noctis muttered.
“So much!” Sarah pampered Noctis’ face with kisses. Noctis chuckled from the affection.
Their reunion was emotional.
Once everyone had reunited, with the guys too. They discussed how they were gonna go through Insomnia.
Sarah was in fear, but tried not to show it. Sarah had just got Noctis back, yet she didn’t want to sound selfish. Sarah didn’t want to loose Noctis though.
~*~
The day came to bring back the light. Sarah continued to help fight off the enemies watching Noctis go alone into the throne room. She believe in him, somehow he would win this and this nightmare would be over with. It seemed like a life time to her.
Once the battle was over, Sarah saw a light that spread into the sky. The sun rose and the darkness perished. There was light at last. Noctis had fulfilled his duty. Sarah’s heart raced, wondering if he was alive. Noctis was no where to be found outside. Sarah and the guys rushed inside the throne room to find Noctis barley breathing in the throne chair. He had the sword pierced through his body.
“Noct!” Sarah cried out with Prompto shouting out his name too. Gladio and Ignis ran with them up to the throne.
Noctis was unconscious.
“Iggy do something!”Prompto panicked.
Ignis was searching for a pulse on Noctis’ lifeless body.
Sarah’s heart climbed up her throat. She became dizzy. She collapsed down on her knees throwing her arms on Noctis’ waist as she sobbed.
“No this can’t be it!” Sarah’s pendant began to glow, she looked down at it. Her tears were glowing as well as they fell on to Noct.
“W-what....” The faint word escaped from Noctis’ lips as he coughed.
Sarah’s heart leaped as she heard that voice that she loved so much. Was it her necklace that kept him going it was chanted with magic. Whatever kept him holding on, she was beyond relieved.
Gladio grabbed the sword.
“This is gonna hurt like hell, as soon as I pull it out, Ignis will heal you. Hang in there Noct!” Gladio said.
Sarah grabbed Noctis’ hand and held on tightly as Prompto grabbed Noctis’ other hand for support.
“You got this buddy!” Prompto said holding his tears in.
Gladio carefully pulled the sword out as Noctis yelled out in pain, clenching his best friends hand and lovers tightly. That yell was something Sarah never wanted to hear again. It broke her heart seeing Noctis go through so much.
Ignis quickly crushed a hi-potion over Noctis. Once Noctis was free, Gladio helped support Noctis basically carrying him.
~*~
They were all thankful Noctis survived that day. Two weeks later Noctis was slowly recovering his strength, as the rest and the help from others began to restore Insomnia. Noctis got to visit seeing the progress.
“Wow this place is already looking better.” Noctis stood beside Sarah holding her hand.
“It is, still got a long way to go, but with our help and by your side we’ll have it back in no time. This place is gonna be so beautiful.” Sarah smiled over at Noctis.
“My King.” Sarah playfully bow at Noctis still holding his hand.
“S-Sarahhhh” Noctis groaned and smiled.
“You’ll get use to it...so if we decide to get married....” Sarah felt like this was a fairy tale, were they really gonna get their happily ever after?
“You’ll be Queen soon enough.” Noctis smirked.
