PROLOGUE

            Squall was tired of his life. Tired of fighting, tired of the leadership that tied him, tired of who said they were his friends. He finally had realized, SeeDs were hired assassins, professional killers. He didn't want to be an assassin for the rest of his life. A night after defeating Ultimecia, he took a decision. He gathered the few belongings he had in his dormitory, picked up some money and, leaving home, friends and love, went out of garden, Shiva as only company. His home would be under the moon. His destiny was under the stars. He ran through the asphalt, without looking back. In garden, inside what had been his office, over the commander's desk, laid his gunblade; beside it, his necklace: a mute note of farewell.

Squall promised to himself he would never hold a weapon again.
