So, I recently realized my last Prologue was driving people away. Because it sucked. Badly. So here, I've changed it :D I don't know whether it's better though. It's relevant still, so even if you read the last one this one's still worth reading anyway.

Well, set after the game and told from the perspective of mainly Squall, but sometimes Seifer or others who are around. There are some OC's in later chapters but don't let them scare you away, I assure you, all the original characters will be here too.


Prologue

I'm fed up; I don't need a family. I don't need this. I need an army. I could use an army, and I could use a family member for the army…I could use my son.

"Get out of the way", I spoke, but this gets old, you bore me endlessly. She'll never budge, why is she looking at me like I'm a maniac? He doesn't even look like he cares, and he's just behind her. If she would just move…

"No please, think about this Sarrin, you have a family! What about your brother? Your parents?" She speaks, but I speak too. I don't understand, if you just move, you could die painlessly.

"I don't need a family. My parents? They're too busy with that orphanage and the Garden, if they intervene they can die too. But I think I could use our son, he's young enough to change. Besides, he has the Lion, it'll just be worse for him later if you don't move…"

But she wont. She stands, arms wide trying to shield our son from me. Why would you do that? He's my son too. He's mine, mine, MY son! He belongs to ME!

And she's gone.

He registers me now, eyes wide. His mother may be gone, but I can see her stained red across his young face. On top of those wide eyes and white lips. He shakes as I grab him and tuck him under my arm, but it doesn't matter. I turn to leave, but, no…

No, now you're in my way! Move brother, or I will have to kill you too. there's an army waiting for me, and I just found myself a new weapon. Oh damn this, I'll run, this boy is a good enough distraction for him. The idiot wishes he had my son, your more pathetic than you think I am.


He's here now, but he wont comply. Six weeks, boy, why wont you just co-operate? You don't even have to feel pain, as soon as you show me you can work with this. I can take it away, just like they did for me.

Damn this, hurting you doesn't make a difference, it makes you worse. If I hurt you when you don't listen, or when you try to run away, why do you continue? Why don't you just accept this?

Your almost broken now, what have I done? I can fix you, but I need time, and he knows where you are…

He's back! He's come to take him away! Brother you bastard, I'll kill you. He belongs to me. My son, property. You can't do this! No!


But I found you again! It took me some years, he doesn't remember me, but he remembers grief. He's even worse now, but why? I haven't killed anyone this time, but oh look, it's still there on your face. 8 years old, and your 'sister' has already left you a while ago, but she's not family and you don't need her.

The Lion, what did you do to it? You changed it, that takes some power…Griever? I see, you didn't do that on purpose…You really are alone.

He's here again, my brother, just leave us alone. I didn't kill our mother, she ran away. I'm just here for my son you took away. I will have you killed someday, but today; I just need the boy.

But, no stop! The Lion, it betrayed me? It's loyal to him now. I suppose because he changed it, but he'll never get away from it, I made sure of that the day he received it.

Damn, I can't move.

They're, no, wait…He can't…be gone. Wait, son…You just wait…


It's an entire flashback, sorry about that. I made it more relevant to the plot once I figured it all out, but I think the whole first person thing could be annoying. Also it's confusing I think, but all will be explained in due time :D

Review, and let me know what you really think. It matters alot, because I do take it all into account XD
