[ the heaviest subject first, of course. nyx closes his eyes for a moment as they walk, visibly gathering himself. he's only just come from it - even if it's been a few months for ignis, it still hurts raw for him.
but, ever the soldier, he begins to speak. ]
I don't know what happened during the beginning of it. Crowe - she'd been sent to retrieve the Luna - the Oracle. [ ignis may catch the way nyx begins to refer to her by name. ] She ended up dead, but she'd been tracking her. I figured out just before the signing that she'd been taken from Insomnia, to a fleet of imperial warships that were waiting outside the wall.
I took the Kingsglaive, despite the commander not answering me, and Regis sent me out to get her. It - was a trap. Set by Drautos, and some of the Kingsglaive. They betrayed the king and Insomnia.
[ he swallows, looking at ignis. ]
Drautos was Glauca. And he had the traitors murder the Kingslgaive that were still loyal to the King, that I had brought outside the wall. I got the Oracle and was heading back when the Wall fell. When we arrived, Glauca was battling the King, and had cut the ring off him. I didn't know it was Drautos yet. I didn't see the Emperor or anyone else. She and I got the King out, and he asked the Oracle to take the ring to the Prince and me to protect her.
[ he's telling this bit quite tonelessly. ]
And he... sacrificed himself. To buy us time to get out. Let Glauca cut him down so we could get away.
[ he reaches up to scratch at the side of his face. ]
A fat lot of good it did. I had no more of the King's power, and some of the Crownsguard tried to help us. But I didn't know about Drautos still, like I said. He called me to rendezvous, had Luche shoot me. We were going to die, and the King had told me to not let the ring fall into their hands, that it was necessary for the prophecy to get to the Prince.
I put on the ring, instead. And I cut a deal - my life for their power to get the ring, Libertus and Luna outside of Insomnia. I got them out of there and killed the bastard but Insomnia was burning by that point, and I was too.
tl;dr i'm sorry qing

[ his long retelling told, he looks to ignis. ]
