Nott Hyne, It's Quistis

It was an eerie night on a full moon like this.  The serene forest deceives people of the ravenous monsters that roam about.  But there, in the forest beside the Fire Cavern, East of the Balamb Garden, a bon fire burns.  Huddle towards the heat, a group, a tribe, a cult as you would called it, were hooded and it darkened their face to hide the features.  All dressed in peach robes with brown ropes served as belts, they faced their palms toward the fire, then the glow of the moon, absorbing its radiant glow.  They chant.

"Trepe Trepe Trepe Trepe…"  Then a leader stood up.  He wore a white robe; he took off his hood.  Everything was silent. 

"The meeting has started," he said in a low voice.  His dark hair and eyes glistened like the smile he flashed.  "And I am proud to say that the Day draws near for the awakening of a new world…" This dashing man snapped his fingers and a humbled one stepped forward, head low, presenting a bottle with peach-colored liquid sloshing about. 

"This…" he exclaimed, holding it to his cult.  "This is the beginning of the Day.  It will be planned out that this will be poured into the Garden's water supply in the crack of dawn tomorrow so everyone will be converted to Trepies!!  Tell a soul and your soul will be damned by the devil itself also known as…" The crowd covered their ears and moan, as if the name about to be spoken will curse them.  "…Rinoa!"  The people screamed and moaned.

"Now let us pray to this quiet night to hope for a better life…" Silence was heard until there was a crunching noise.  It was getting louder. 

"What the hell?!" The leader spoke as soon as a T-rexsaur came charging through snapping. 

"Rooooooaaaaaaaaaarrr!!!"  It plowed through the group. 

"Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!" They ran for their dear lives back to their safety in the Garden.  The leader went to the water supply first before going to Balamb.  He tipped the liquid over and watched it bubbled.  The blueness engulfed the potion and it seemed to satisfy the leader.  He went off.  His evil laughter echoing through the halls and pipes. 

"Muhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!"

"Muhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!"

[knock knock]  Squall rolled over in his sleep.  [knock knock]  He steadied himself up. 

'Who the hell is up at this hour at my door?!'  He shifted to the door and opened it yawning.  He saw none other but a raven-haired girl. 

"Rinoa?  What are you doing here? [yawn]"  He rubbed his eyes. 

"I heard something and I got scared.  Can I sleep here tonight?"  Her eyes widened and lips saddened. 

'For the love of Hyne, why doesn't she ask one of the girls…!'  He scratched his head.  'My god, she's giving those puppy eyes.  They never work.  But I spoil her too much.'

"Yeah.  Just don't tell anyone."  Squall moved aside for his princess to step inside.  She pounced on the bed and was absorbed by the surrounding sheets.  He sat on the floor and pulled a comforter away, preparing his night on the ground. 

"Just don't step on me when you wake up…like last time……" he drifted off to sleep.
