A/N: Hahaha! Evil is surging through my veins! It's a Queifer (I like that
better than Seiftis…) vs. Quirvine, of course, with a bit of Squall acting
like a snob, Selphie ending up on drugs, Zell not wanting hot dogs, Irvine
trying to stay with one girl, Seifer being a pompous jerk with a demon
taking over his body, Fujin and Raijen turning into demons, and Rinoa
being…herself! Very original story, by the way. No one ever portrays Squall
acting like a snob. I mean, wouldn't you act like a snob if everyone
treated you as if you and only you saved the world? ARG! On with the
story…please…oh, and this has NOTHING to do with the Bible and yada yada
yada…
The Book of Apocalypse
Prologue
Centuries before man existed, there was a peaceful garden full of hope, love, happiness, and peace. Yet the demons of the underworld took control of this garden, creating man to destroy it. These demons controlled the seven deadly sins. Each demon conquered one of seven sins, pride, anger, envy, lust, greed, gluttony, and sloth, yet each one of them suffered from the sins. These demons angered by mankind, sent out these sins into all of mankind. The world grew darker as time passed. The world needed to be saved; yet the strongest people were too vain in themselves. Others were quite jealous of those with such strength, letting them to become worthless. Others were too lustful in what they may get. Some were in it just for the rewards and things they would get. While others were just too lazy to care.
Yet, the great garden was not completely destroyed. One single seed slept peacefully in the soil. When the spring rain finally came, the seed blossomed into something more. The seven virtues were released as the flower petals blossomed in the air. Faith was once again restored. Fortitude was given back to mankind, and mankind gave back charity. Justice was set forth for all wrongdoers. Temperance was given to along with prudence. Most importantly, hope was in the world.
The great seven virtues destroyed the seven deadly sins. Yet, evil could never be truly destroyed. Therefore, the great seven virtues decided to stay in this world, only granting few their true power. Yet their power is dying due to the fact the true garden is dying. Evil is once again emerging, bringing out the worst in those seven chosen ones.
"Read it again!" a small voice, cried out.
Soft laughter filled the air. "Why read it again? This is your history lesson, Charles." The voice belonged to the newest instructor at Balamb Garden. Quistis Trepe had been admitted back into being an instructor. She taught all grades, yet she especially loved the junior classmen.
"We're supposed to be learning from this story?" Charles muttered out. Quistis laughed again.
"Yes, you are. Many people believe that this story is why we're actually here at Garden. That this is the perfect place where seeds can grow to become faithful, hopeful, prudent, to gain temperance, justified, fortified, and gives back to the world. Just like the seven virtues."
The boys and girls of the class giggled softly. Charles finally yelled out, "And to defeat the seven deadly sins!" Charles pretended to stab a sword into his classmate. "Die, pride!"
Quistis laughed softly, smiling at the kids' enjoyment of the story. "Well, the seven deadly sins could never truly be defeated. Ironically, we need them to survive."
"But in the story the virtues killed the sins!" a small girl cried out.
"No, not killed. In the story, the seven virtues knew that if life were peaceful like in the garden before, evil would just take over again. Without evil, there is no good. Without good, there is no evil." The children stared at her blankly. With a soft sigh, "Until you become a senior classman, yes, the virtues defeated the sins."
