It wasn't meant to be like this (Patreon)

im feeling likkkkee

Its like a 'slay a dragon' quest thing

Like when its time to ascend the throne

The prospective King travels to this place where these people live to try and capture one

And if they manage its said to bring prosperity to the kingdom

They don't always manage

And they basically take the person as a bride

They have their small entourage and its super dangerous

I feel like Prom's people are aware of it

And they see it as ...lucky or whatever

Like kind of a game of cat and mouse

Someone is chosen and thye have to do their best to come back

Maybe the Lucians send a payment or something if they do catch one

so it's quite lucrative for them

Maybe Prompto was chosen on purpose

I don't imagine they always lose their wings

This just went very wrong for Prompto

But theyre raised to see it as a privilege to be chosen

Which is just to get them to cooperate

Like, they'll have a life of luxury either way

But it's never anyone too important chosen

of course with time he falls in love with Noct

Noct is horribly guilty for what happened

I imagine he was probably a bit spoiled until Prompto came along

He's never fucked up

Well normally his fuck ups are brushed under the mat

He is the Prince, cant be chastising him

So he probably hasn't ever fully had to deal with these emotions or rather take responsibility for them.

It started as duty and trying to prove himself to the Kingdom and becomes him trying to prove himself to Prompto
