Chapter 5:
"Squall! I'm so happy to see you! Had you a good trip?"
After casting a sleep spell on Rin, it was perfect yes.
"Yes"
"Good! Where are the others?"
"They're coming. Quistis is taking care of Rinoa, while Selphie, Zell and Irvine are showing the city to Silver."
"Silver?" Laguna asks me frowning.
"A… girl we found in Galbadia. I'd like to talk about her with you..."
"Why? Is it your new girlfriend?"
"No. But well, She's supposed to be from an extinct race. The suylens."
Laguna literally falls in a chair nearby, bewildered. Kiros looks at me, surprise painted all over his dark face.
"Silver? You just said you found a Suylen called Silver, is that what you said?"
It's my turn to be puzzled, but I don't have the time to reply the gang enters in the room, Silver with them. The cat girl stops mid-track in front of them a mischievous expression on her face.
"L-Laguna? Kiros? W-What happened to you? You're so old! It's Adel who done that? Man, you could be my dad!! "
The two old men look at each other before gawking at Silver.
"It's incredible… Silver… you're… Alive?"
The cat come closer frowning, then hugs my father. She sighs happily before pushing gently away and perked his nose with her finger.
"Of course I'm alive. What do you think?"
Laguna stay silent touching her as to make sure she's really there. He then looks at us, looking for answers.
"Time compression." I tell him. He closes his eyes nodding.
Laguna strokes her hair, sadness in his eyes. He doesn't seem to know what to say. Kiros crosses his arms on his chest, slightly smiling at them. The fact they know her intrigue me. I wait for Laguna to speak again, not wanting to disturb them. I don't know why, but I don't feel like interrupting whatever is happening between the three. Finally, Laguna forces Silver to look at him straight in his eyes, but don't push his arm away from her back.
"You're supposed to be dead, Silver. Adel destroyed your town twenty years ago before your scientists could try the veil… There's nothing left of the Suylen's civilisation."
The cat blinked several times, and then smiles, tears filling her blue-eyes. She seat down in front of him, resting her head on his knee.
"So he was saying the truth… All… we had been destroyed. My family, my friend are no more. When he told us that Adel destroyed everything, that there had been a new sorceress… I didn't want to trust him. I though he was joking. So I left the others to go to Winhill. I knew you were supposed to be there with Raine and Ellone… And I knew you were going to tell me the truth. Now I know the truth. Life's funny… We were about to celebrate the Great Day tomorrow…" she said more to herself then to Laguna.
"Silver, I"
The cat put her finger on his lips, shushing him.
"It's okay Laguna. I'm okay."
"Are you sure?"
The cat nods and burry her head on my dad's shoulder, not able to restrain her sobs anymore. Laguna put his arms around her, gently stroking her back to comfort her. We stay silent, not knowing what to do. At a time, she stops crying. Quistis breaks the silence.
"You said that somebody "told us"… Is there other suylens still alive?"
The cat looks at her and nods, standing up.
"Yes. Three suylens, a dragoscorpio and an evil… We were heading to the Shumi village when we get stucked in a snow storm."
"A dragoscorpio? An evil?" asked Zell.
"A dragoscorpio is a dragon-type creature, whereas an Evil is magic-type. There wasn't a lot of their race back then… And now… it seems they are the last…"she explained, her voice full of sorrow. "I should find a way to contact them. They must be worried for me. Ah stupid me! Sade told me to stay with them, he was afraid people could hunt us down." She gasped before turning to face Laguna. "Do you think people could have kill them?"
"Silver, calm down. It won't do any good stressing you like that."
"But I have to…"
"Calm down. We'll send a team to find them, and to take them here. And I don't think there's anything to worry about. If someone had found them, we should have been informed a long time ago."
Silver nods, then whispers something in a strange language. A map begun to appear on the window next to Zell, who jerks away surprised.
"You're a sorceress?"
"No. But we do have magic." She explains turning toward the map. "Last time I saw them they were in the snow desert next to the Shumi village, not so far away from where we used to live. But now I don't know. I left them three days ago, and each of them has two legs and is in good shape. They probably moved on. They can be everywhere."
"Plus your map is a little too old, kitty girl…" points Irvine.
"Really? Oh well… Let me see." Saying that she grabs his arms and her eyes normally silver-grey turns into an ocean blue. Irvine cries as if his energy was drained out of him and then falls on his knees. Selphie jumps next to him, giving an icy glare to the cat.
"What have you done to him?"
"Calm down…" whispered Irvine, trying to stand up. "She… She took some of my knowledge and memories… That's all."
Selphie looks at him worried, but the cowboy gives her a small smile. The cat joins her hand and the map's shape changes to become the map we all know. She studies it, her eyes still glowing. Then points a place near Eshtar.
"There. The Secret Chocobo Forest. It's the only place they could hide that long without being disturbed by anyone."
"Are you sure?" asks Kiros.
"Yap" she responds, cheerfulness coming back in her voice.
