Chapter 1: The Missing Link
The boy stood there making sure the camera was in place on the tripod. As he took his hands from it he was happy to see it stay in the right position. He sat down on a stool and brushed his golden hair from his sea colored eyes.
"Hi everybody watching this," he began to speak to the camera. "You probably don't know me, or have only heard of me, I am Wic Almasy. That's not my real name my real name is actually Damon but when I was little I stole my mom's candles cause' I liked them so much thus the name Wic.
"I have to make sure this story is told because my mother and father hated being forgotten, and I couldn't stand if they were either. They were the two most amazing people I've ever known. This happened a few months after the Ulticimia ordeal when everything was good and everyone was happy again. Quistis, Squall, Zell, Selphie, Irvine, and Rinoa returned to the garden as heroes. Cid made Rinoa and Irvine honorary Balamb Garden SeeD's and gave back Quistis her instructors license. The staff members basically had to because she had trained and was one of the people to save the world. But one day Quistis was called to the infirmary....
Quistis strode into the infirmary with a smile on her face. For some reason she was in a good mood today. She saw Squall talking to the doctor with a stressed look on his face.
"Good morning Commander, good morning doctor Kadowaki how are you two today?" she asked with an airy light tome in her words. Squall turned his head and looked at his childhood friend.
"We got news Quistis," Squall sighed with tiredness.
"What kind of news?"
"News about Ulticimia's missing link," he gave her a look that suggested something but a hidden something.
"Missing link?" she laughed at his particular wording. "Nothing is missing...Except..."
"That's right," Squall confirmed her thoughts.
"Seifer?! Wha...What's the news?"
"He has been found up north by the Shumi village unconscious and was brought back to the village," he paused. "The are keeping him there for now because the have a new healing magic that replaced the Ultima draw point when Ulticimia was defeated."
"Why do they want to keep him, what's wrong with him?" Quitis sounded very concerned, all this time she felt like it was her fault that Seifer turned against them. She always thought that she had shunned him as a friend and a student.
"They wouldn't tell me, they just said to come with a SeeD to see for ourselves. That's why I called you here, me and the doctor have been discussing what the best thing to do was depending on his injuries and we have decided for you to come and deal with him...He is your student after all," he looked down at the floor never meeting her eyes.
"Alright lets go."
"Yeah, we're taking the Rangork so we can get there quickly," as he walked out Quistis stopped him with her voice.
"Did you ask Selphie if you could use it?" Squall turned around.
"I don't need to I'm the commander. Besides its not her ship!" he had always been frustrated when it came to who the Ragnork belonged to.
"Like to see you tell her that to her face," she chuckled and walked put the door.
Wic looked around and then back at the camera. "So they flew to Shumi Village yada yada and finally got out of the elevator and walked to the head shumi guys house...
"Welcome my friends, it is nice to see you again," the elder bowed to his guests {you know he is all weird about the hand thing} .
"You too. Enough with the formalities lets get down to business," Squall bowed and came to his SeeD mode.
"Ah yes the boy," the elder indicated that they followed him and they did. They walked past the art building and up to the hills. They had seen the buildings before but they never had the chance to see exactly what was up there.
They finally arrived to a normal sized building that was quite charming built with purple bricks and big French doors.
"This is where we keep our most injured or ill," the elder explained as he entered the building. Quistis and Squall followed and found themselves in a large room with a dome ceiling there were a few curtains around bedsides but the elder let them to the very last one. As they were about to enter he stopped them.
"I must warn you that this is quite disturbing so brace yourselves," now he let them pass, and he was right it was disturbing. There was Seifer with no visible signs of illness or any type of pain but they knew that something was definitely wrong with Seifer.
He was laying there eyes open and they looked very angry. His eyebrows were scrunched together to give him a look of concentration and furry.
"Seifer?" Quistis whispered.
"He can't hear you," the elder informed her. "We believe that he is almost completely catatonic. Or magic fixed a few fractures and scrapes but mentally...We just don't know.
"So he isn't there kind of right?" Squall asked.
"Kind of...His body is there and physically he is fine but...Beyond that something is definitely wrong."
"How could this have happened to him?" Quistis asked, her voice trembling. "Seifer was the strongest student I have ever had, this just isn't possible..."
"What do you mean he was your strongest student he never even past the exam!" Squall argued with a tint of jealousy in his voice.
"He could have past that exam any day of the week he just chose not too," she rolled her eyes at Squalls questioning expression. "He was afraid of becoming a SeeD, he didn't want to take the responsibility. He remembered his past better than any of us and he remembers the day he was given up for adoption, he thought that it was his fault. He didn't want to be responsible for what might happen to people so he purposely failed the tests and exam."
"How do you know all that?" Squall asked with an accusing look in his eye.
"Before he ran off to Timber he told me, he broke down and then got angry okay?!" she raised her voice slightly.
"Excuse me," the elder broke into the conversation. "But we HIRED a SeeD to stay here until this...This Seifer is snapped out of this state...You told her this right?"
"Oh yeah I knew I forgot something," Squall gave an innocent smile to Quistis who was getting angry, how the hell was she supposed to snap a catatonic person back into reality, especially Seifer!
"The slightest thing can trigger him out of this a voice a memory a thought..." the elder explained to Quistis, even though he knew that it was near impossible.
"Like a coma right? I heard something about that.."
"Exactly...Just think of it as a mental coma," the elder smiled.
"What do you say Quistis?" Squall asked. Quistis sighed and put her hand to her forehead.
"Do I have a choice?" Squall shook his head. "Fine, Just freakin fine."
"And that started the whole thing."
