Fate came calling at my
door,
Fate came calling.
Fate came calling at my
door,
And I answered.
Fate came into my home,
Fate came in.
Fate asked to talk to me,
Fate asked.
Fate told me what was to
come,
Fate told me.
But I told Fate:
"I make my own destiny."
And Fate walked out,
And Fate walked out.
Fate came calling at my
door,

Seifer filled out his Garden enrolment form and handed it to Squall, who looked over it with a blank look on his face. Why Headmaster Cid had allowed Seifer to rejoin Garden after all he had done was beyond Squall's understanding. Squall sighed and nodded when he had finished reading the form.
"Welcome back to Garden Seifer," he said without looking up. "I hope you don't get kicked out this time."
Seifer smirked. "I don't plan on doing anything except becoming a better SeeD than you, Puberty Boy," he said. "When do my first classes start?"
Squall handed him a schedule. "Two hours," he said. "As you can see, your first class is hand-to-hand combat." Squall allowed himself a small grin. "Zell's the Instructor in charge of that class."
Seifer's smirk disappeared. "I hate you, Leonhart."
"You can call me 'sir' from now on," Squall said. "Now hurry and get prepared for class, Cadet Almasy."
Seifer grumbled. "Yes, sir," he said grudgingly, and left. As soon as he was gone, Squall laughed. Oh, revenge was sweet, especially if was directed on the man that had tried to kill Squall and his friends on more than one occasion. But Squall knew that Seifer would have to change his attitude if he was going to be a SeeD.
"Seifer, I hope that you can change, for all our sakes," he said to himself. The next potential student walked into the office…
Centra Crater
A small black dot appeared just above the Demi Drawpoint in the Centra Crater. Although it was small at first, it slowly grew larger, and as it grew larger, it grew darker. Bolts of energy shot out of the portal, striking at the barren landscape and scorching the areas that they struck. A silhouette appeared in the center of the portal, and it stepped out of the blackness and stepped down onto the ground below her. She stood at around 6 feet, looked to be around 18, and wore a turquoise cloak over a white vest and matching white long pants. White boots covered her feet, and she was wearing white gloves on her hands. Her white hair fell in beautiful locks around her slim waist and her hazel eyes scanned the horizon. She let out a sigh of relief as she looked at the moon. There was no eclipse, and the sun still shone a bright, almost blinding white. They had not yet come to this world, but when they did, she was going to have to help defend it, and hopefully save it from destruction.
"I have to save this world at least,"
she thought. "If I don't, my time in this body
will be over, and I will be forced back into the abyss…"
Her hand went to the golden hilt of her sword. She could sense the presence of a lesser demon, possibly what the people of a world like this called a 'monster'. There it was again, and it was attacking her! In an instant, her sword was in her hands and ready to taste this monster's blood, for it was demon's blood that gave the sword its power. The sword was silver in colour, long and had runes carved into the blade. The runes were Runes of Protection, and they now began to glow dimly.
"So this monster is a weak one, then," the woman thought to herself. It was a three-eyed flying creature, red-blue in colour with two tentacles coming out of its back. Although she did not know at the time, the creature was a Jell-eye. It cast Firaga on the woman, who reeled back in shock.
"Fire magic!" she thought. "I must act quickly!"
She held the flat side of her sword to her head and closed her eyes.
"Oh great spirits of flame, aid me now! I call upon you in this time of need!"
She held the sword above her head, and was surrounded by a shield of flame that outlined her body, but it did not burn her, it protected her. She looked at the monster, charged at it…and seemingly passed straight through it. She stood behind the creature with her eyes closed.
There was silence for a moment…
And then the Jell-eye fell into two pieces and evaporated in a dark mist. The woman sighed and sheathed her sword.
"I must hurry and find the people that can help me defend this world," she said to herself. She straightened her cloak and walked toward the ocean. When she reached the water, she disappeared,
