A MAGICIAN'S CURSE
by Rhys Icewind
~Chapter 11~
"This place is HUGE!!!" Sakura said as she was toured around the place.
Zell smiled. "This is the largest and most high-tech city around!"
"who's building is that?" she asked, pointing to a large buiding right
across the street they were walking on.
"oh that? that's the president's building."
"I see...can I ask you something?"
Zell looked at her oddly. He had already shown her and explained to her
everything about Esthar. "what is it?"
"how come Squall was in such a jiffy when President Laguna was assasinated?"
Sakura asked, looking deep into Zell's blue eyes.
"Because Sir Laguna is Squall's father."
There was silence.
Sakura looked back at the path that they were walking. "oh..."
Zell thought,
Just as they were walking, Sakura stopped.
"what's the matter?" Zell asked.
Sakura looked at him. "THE PRESIDENT OF ESTHAR IS HIS FATHER?!?!?!!?" she
shouted.
he thought. "yeah. And if you're gonna ask why he's
working as a mercenary and living in Balamb, its because he grew up there
and wanted to stay there and be a workaholic....y'know those type of people"
"I see....he's such an oddball though." Sakura started walking again.
"I know." Zell added.
===
Squall arrived in the hospital, right beside Rinoa.
"Rinoa..." he started saying, but when Rinoa looked at him - she was crying
and that look made Squall stop.
"oh Squall!" she said, burying herself in his arms. "It's all my fault!"
"Squall! since when did you arrive here?" Ward asked.
"just a minute ago....." he said, then stopped.
he then looked at Ward, who was smiling at him. "Ward.....you can..."
"talk?" he asked. "yeah. Thanks to Ruriko."
"Ruriko? you mean that girl from another dimension?" Squall said.
Ward nodded.
Just then, Ellone came and saw Squall. There was the usual hi and hello.
"Squall, can you help Rinoa? she's so down and kept saying that it's all
her fault. Whatever we say to her don't work. It is as if she's deaf to
all that we say."
Squall nodded and looked at the crying Rinoa in his arms. "Rinoa...."
There was no reply.
Squall noticed then that he was carrying her full weight. He then carried
her in his arms and that's when they all noticed it.... Rinoa....her skin,
so pale....her lips blue.....unmoving.....
lifeless.
===
"Quistis, won't we go to this Esthar continent?" Ruriko asked.
Quistis looked at her. "I don't know. We don't have the Ragnarok here
and the Garden is re-implanted on the ground so we can't ho unless we
go by train"
"re-implanted?" Shun asked, who was walking behind Ruriko.
"yes. The Garden is a vehicle as well as a building. During the second
sorceress wars, We discovered that the Garden was a vehicle that can
cross land and water except mountains. After the war, we learned how to
re-implant the Garden and decided to re-implant it." she explained.
Ruriko looked around her. "This is such an amazing building..."
"I know." Irvine said, walking towards them. "hi!"
They all smiled at him.
"what's up?" he asked.
"nothing much. But we're planning to go to Esthar." Quistis replied.
"'bout the president huh?" he said.
They all nodded.
"why don't you use the Ragnarok?" Selphie suddenly came, creeping behind
Irvine which almost made him jump.
"It's not here..." Ruriko said.
"oh? but it is!" Selphie said, "I saw it just this morning."
"Impossble! Rinoa and Selune took it going to Esthar." Quistis said,
shaking her head in disbelief.
"I took it back." a voice from behind them said.
"what?" they all said.
