Chapter 1: The Prince, The Rose and The Phoenix

As Noctis opened his eyes letting out a groan as he sat up mumbling to himself his vision slowly returning to him. "Man, my head is... wait my voice!" At that very moment Noctis looked down at his feet to see he was wearing the same pair of shorts from when he was a kid, but before he could say another thing, he saw a reflection in the window of a young 8 years old boy, that was wearing the very clothing he used to wear at that age. "Wha!? This has to be a dream!" Was all Noctis could say with a disbelieving voice.

He suddenly then felt a massive spike of pain in his head causing him to grab his head in letting out grunts of pain, as memories started to flood into his mind. Memories of how he gave up his own life, to purge his world of the Starscourge, a plague that turned the people of the world into monsters called Daemons, who shunned the light of the sun, and hunted unwary travers at night. Once the pain in his head stopped Noctis looked down at his hands in shock. "The hell? Am I dead or is this one messed up dream?"

Suddenly Noctis heard the door starting to open up, the noise causing his head to shoot right up, to see a man who looked as if he was in his 30s with blond hair that has two small strands sticking out from the top. Noctis quickly looked up and down the mans clothing to see he was wearing a pair of brown cargo shorts with a dark brown belt, black shoes, a red bandana on his left arm, and a brown leather vest over a tan dress shirt with the right sleeve cut off. Noctis also noticed that the man also had a metal spaulder, leather vambrace, and a brown fingerless glove, all on his right arm. Noctis then also took notice of the tattoo on his right arm which, from what he could make out looked somewhat like a heart-shaped tattoo.

After that Noctis looked up at the man to meet his blue eyes with his own. Before Noctis could even say a thing the man spoke up first, his voice full of relief. "Oh you're awake! Are you feeling okay? Oh where are my manners I'm Taiyang Xiao Long."

Noctis just blinked before replying with an confused voice. "I-I'm fine, but where am I and how did I get here?"

"You're on the island of Patch, it's an rather large island just west of Vale. As for how you got here my girl's Uncle Qrow found you, laying on the ground unconscious not far from my house here, he brought you here, he's not what you'd call the best babysitter in the world. Now I've never seen you around these parts before, and did some asking around Vale, and no one has ever seen you before, so can you care to explain how you ended up unconscious not far from here umm... I didn't catch your name."

Noctis didn't reply for a moment, as he sat there thinking carefully about his current situation, something he really never, did since he left the thinking up to his friend Ignis. It was clear to Noctis that he wasn't dead, he had somehow turned 8 years old, yet still had the memories from the start of his road trip, which ended in his and his friends deaths. Noctis started to wonder what Ignis would do if he was him right now before speaking up.

"Noctis... my name is Noctis Lucis Caelum. That's all I remember right now."

Taiyang sat down on the nearby chair letting out an tried sigh as he placed his hands on his knees and looked at the ground before speaking up. "Should of saw that one coming, seems to me you have no family looking for you as well, which means you have no home to go to..." Taiyang then quickly looked up with a big smile on his lips eyes closed. "But I'll tell ya what, why don't ya stay here for now, give it a couple of weeks to see if anyone comes looking for ya, if not well I'm sure my two girls won't mind having a brother around the place."

7 years later

A 15 years old Noctis was laying on his bed in his room, having been pretty much made the adopted kid of Taiyang. Over the years Noctis had learned much of this world he was now in, most of it being forced due to him refusing to in the first place. He was currently wearing a black jacket with skull-motif buttons and sequenced details on the pockets and the tag on the zipper also has a small skull. Most of the time he kept the jacket unzipped, which showed the steel gray shirt with skull prints under the jacket, followed by black cropped trousers and black buckled boots with red soles. He also had a black motorcycle glovelet on his left hand.

As Noctis laid there playing a game on his Scroll that reminded him of King's Knight: Wrath of the Dark Dragon, one he used to play with his no longer living friends Gladiolus, Ignis and Prompto, when they wasn't on the road, or fighting off monsters back in his world. He had still yet to tell anyone the truth about where he came from, he decided it would of been too much effort to try and explain it in a way, that wouldn't sound crazy to others.

It was a bright day outside but like always Noctis would rather spend his time inside, unless he went out to do one thing he loves the most, fishing. Back in his world, he'd fish any change he'd get on his adventure. After a couple of minutes had passed he heard the door open, by a male voice he knew well announcing he was home.

"I'm home! Noct you in!?"

Noctis put his scroll away and stood up and stretched out before heading downstairs to greet Taiyang speaking an almost emotionless voice as he saw Ruby and Yang already there. "Yeah, I'm here, where else would I be if I'm not out fishing?"

Taiyang couldn't help but chuckle at how different Noctis acts as a teen, compared to when he was younger. "Oh come on Noct, show a bit of emotion today, besides do you remember what to day is? Exactly 7 years ago today, is the day you came in to our life and as a special gift, I got something for you." Taiyang then placed a box on the table in front of Noctis.

Noctis slowly opened it up, to see what looked like the very sword his father gave him on his 16th birthday back in his world. As Noctis picked it up, he saw Yang already holding Ruby back, who was struggling to get free from Yang's hold. "I-I just want to touch it! Let- Let me go Yang!"

The sword then disappeared from Noctis's hand in a flash of blue light, causing Yang to let go of Ruby who crossed her arms not happy with her big sister. "Oh come on! Not only does he get a awesome looking weapon, but an awesome semblance as well!?"

Yang just chuckle before reply. "Oh come on sis, he may have a cool semblance, but he refuses to use weapons that transform like your one."

Noctis just shrugged at the two girls speaking in another almost emotionless tone. "What can I say? I'd prefer if my weapon stays as what it was meant to be instead of two things at once." Noctis then turned to Taiyang but before he could even say a thing he saw Taiyang holding a drawing of the very weapon he just gave Noctis.

"I found this while I was cleaning out your old junk Noct, figured it would be a nice thing, to make the drawing become real."

Noctis couldn't help but blink a bit stunned from what he just heard. "Tha... Thanks, I guess."

Ruby and Yang then started to head for the front door, but before they could go out their father called out of them. "Stay out of trouble you two! Specially you Miss Yang Xiao Long!"

After the two girls had left, Noctis was about to head upstairs when he was stopped by Taiyang who placed his hand on Noctis's shoulder. "Now that they are gone, we need to talk about something Noctis."

Noctis let out a groan before replying "If it's about my lessons at the academy, I know, I need to start taking them more seriously."

"No it's not that Noct, it's something else... about you. Now I know you've been having nightmares recently, but lately you've started to talk in your sleep, and I've heard some... strange things."

Noctis let out a sigh, already knowing where this was going. "No chance of getting out of this is there?"

Taiyang just shook his head not saying a thing back to Noctis.

Well here is the first chapter of my new fanfic, I tried my best to keep all characters as close as I can to their personality, but since Taiyang has yet to get more screen time on RWBY, I didn't have much to go off for him.

Anyway make sure to leave a review if you like this, see you all in the next chapter!
