Riniah had found that the battle was over, so she snuck away. She ran into an alleyway and found Headmaster Steelfist standing over a bloody body. Headmaster Steelfist grinned as he saw Riniah running towards him. He snapped his fingers and in his place stood a pale young woman. She kicked the body off her foot. It was Headmaster Steelfist.
"Got rid of him. He's useless now." The woman said with a smirk. "They will think some students attacked him and killed him. He was really dumb to wander off around the Garden unguarded."
"Sis, you're a genius!" Riniah jumped up and down. "But what about…the girl who looks kinda like me?"
"She'll never know we started it. And anyways, she only focuses on that twit Seifer. Speaking of him, how is our little worm?"
"Well, he's much a better fighter than I remember…"
"Well, he's had five years of extra practice which he's no doubt used. Knights grow restless when they have no Sorceress to defend. So, did he have anybody protecting him?"
"It was a Garden mission, so he did have people with him, but only one of them seemed to genuinely want to work with him. I'm guessing that's the impression of the whole Garden."
"Good. Phase Two can begin whenever you want it to. I just need the girl Mother was looking for."
"I believe that she is also on the Garden. How wonderful Hyne is to bestow us with such luck." Riniah grinned.
"Yes, but will all this luck stay until this is over?" The woman gave a questioning look to Riniah.
"That is something we will know soon enough." They both snapped and vanished into thin air.
