The Darkest Night (unpublished)
This section draws on The Darkest Night, an unpublished story. The opening document and numbered DN documents are manuscript sources, not published AO3 chapters. Ages, relationships and events below describe this earlier point in the characters' lives.
Vongola reconnaissance
Noctis scouts the Vongola pass with Vander and Cida during the last stages of Nuryev's war. He handles communications, reports to Anran, assesses the withdrawing Pergrandian troops and identifies the pattern of Sergei's refusal to waste soldiers. His Nightmare Magic and scouting experience usually make him difficult to unsettle, though his keen hearing is sensitive to some devices. (DN 4.)
The group helps evacuate abandoned soldiers on the Icerend plains. Noctis subsequently rides with Vander through shadows during their withdrawal and reports the operation to Nuryev. (DN 4.)
