Squall walked in a sat at his desk. He put his head in his hands and his
elbows onto the desk and sat there for a minute to collect his thoughts. On
his desk were a bunch of cards from random people, most of which he had
never even heard of before.
He flipped through some of them nonchalantly and casually discarded them as he went. They all pretty much said the same thing. "I'm sorry for your loss." And there were a lot of "Hope everything's okay." And so on and so on.
Who are all of these people? He couldn't help but wonder how everybody knew? How many people knew? Who told?
Suddenly he noticed an envelope on the desk. Normally he would have just shun it away, but there was something about this envelope. It was a longer envelope then most and as he looked at it, it seemed to grow a little brighter. He picked it up and it felt clod to the touch.
Weird. He looked it over and then after a moment, decided to open it. Inside was a piece of silver paper with black calligraphy writing on it. As he read, a shiver ran threw his spine and his eyes narrowed in scorn.
Time took her away from you to show you what you lost
Time can bring her back, but for this it will cost
Love does rule all, but you must meet half way
Take this veil and drink the contents to see her another day
Cailleach
He looked back in the envelope. There appeared a veil with a bluish greenish liquid inside it. He pondered for a moment, picking it up and running the tiny thing through his fingers. Should he drink it? Who was this Cailleach? Where did he or she come from?
Squall was never one for believing in anything without some sort of ground to base it on. He did have a couple enemies out there. Seifer included. This could be a trick to hurt him or something. He put the veil in his pocket and folded the letter.
He decided to take a trip to somewhere he hadn't been in a while.
Th library.
