It was too much for her. Rinoa Heartilly could not stand the grief, stress, or agony this whole incident put on her. The sorceress, Squall, her friends, just everything. Everything was spinning out of control. She didn't know what to do. Rinoa wanted her life back, and wanted to be in control. She wanted the others to know how she felt even if she had to make them feel the same thing.

She looked deeply into the eyes of the exotic one that arrived there. Her eyes met the one's of a light violet. She was the one Rinoa decided. She could tell by the expression on her face and from her looks that she was the one. Light violet eyes, clouded partly by long dark brown hair. A tall yet toned figure clothed in a black trench coat, a deep red midriff top with buckles on the straps and a pair of black shorts graced her. An eccentric weapon indeed, adorned this person. And an expression of curiosity and cold-hearted cruelty was worn on their face.

This was the one. The one that would help her, show the others, Rinoa could sense there was something about thins girl, something of the smell of blood. Alana knew right away what this girl wanted and without asking decided to help her, regain "control".

Zell walked quietly around Garden. There was nothing much to do these days. The fight was over. Everything…was over. Normality encased the serene Garden once again. Cid, with the help of his wife Edea whom they called Matron, was back at the top. Being the leader again, but in a way knew he had failed somehow. This, Garden, wasn't all his accomplishments, and in someway he knew that there would always be someone better than himself.

Seifer Almasy was still the same person. Back on the disciplinary committee and taking charge once again. Showing the others who was boss. He still could not get over the fact that Squall was the hero; he was always the hero and had everyone's gratitude. Even though he had already admitted that most of this was his fault, Seifer still held a grudge against him.

Quistis had been offered her teaching license again, but refused. She had chosen her path and was going to follow it. She knew where she belonged now and was going to stay there.

Selphie and Irvine had gotten together in the end was always with each other. They had their small disputes every now and then, but they truly did love each other. But there was something coming between them. Selphie was debating whether or not to go back to Trabia Garden and Irvine to Galbadia Garden.

Alana and Rinoa stepped out of the infirmary and into the quad. No one was around so this was a safe place to talk without interruption. "You have him don't you." Rinoa told Alana more of a statement than a question.

"You mean Griever? Yes, I do." Alana replied. Their conversation went on monotonously and as if it had been practiced.

"Train him. Get him stronger, but don't get caught. He will be a significant individual in this "operation"." Rinoa said and then left to go back to the infirmary. Squall should awake soon.

Alana left Balamb Garden and headed towards the nearest town, Balamb. There, she got a room at the hotel and prepared herself to go to the fire cavern. She had no idea how she knew it was there, but she knew.

Rinoa's eyes were glowing an eerie shade of red when Squall awoke. He looked at her for a moment then everything went blank. He could remember his name and who she was, but he couldn't remember important facts like where he was. He do however know that he was to follow and help Rinoa also.
