Same as always. Still not mine. And I still am hoping for a tattooed blond to unexplicatedly show up at my front door and be my slave.....
Thanks to everone who has reviewed! Your waiting and patience is now being rewarded!

Squall sat at his desk, watching as the clock counted down the minutes until Zell and Quistis were suppose to show up. SO many thoughts ran through his head, each one more confusing then the last.
The one thought that confused him the most was that there was one person who had the power to end it all. The blackouts, the moments of fear, the loss of control of his life could all be returned to how it was before. Squall let out a heavy sigh, knowing that the persons location was a mystery to him, even though he had access to all the top equipment, it was near impossible to pinpoint the exact place where this guy was. There were just too many possibilities.
Before Squall could over analyze anything else, there was a knock on the office door. He looked at the desk clock and saw that Zell and Quistis were supposed to be here 5 minutes ago.
"Come in." Squall called out. Just as he suspected, the 2 blondes walked in, hand in hand.
"Sorry we are late. There was a rush in the cafeteria and we couldn't get out." Quistis said, then sat down in one of the 2 chairs Squall had set up in front of his desk. Zell opted to stand behind her, his hands on Quistis' shoulders.
"So are you finally going to inform us on what has been going on?" Zell asked.
"Yeah. I've kept it from you guys for too long. You two are forever helping me and making sure that no one else finds out. I am forever grateful." Squall's exterior was calm and collected, just as the two blondes always saw him, but they both knew that in his mind, he was going over every word many times.
"Squall, I'm not saying this as one of your staff, or even as a fellow SeeD. I'm saying this as a friend. I'm worried about you. This has been going on way too long, and it's getting to the point of scaring me. We all know you are strong, physically and mentally, but strenght can only last for so long. I want to know what ever I can do to help." Quistis pleaded, Zell rubbing her shoulders for comfort.
"Thank you. First of all, I'm going to ask you some things I'm sure you know. Do you know how a sorceress candidate is chosen?"
"Isn't a sorceress candidate born in every blood line, once every thousandth birth? And to counter that, there is a knight born within 5 generations?" Zell asked, finally sitting down.
"If there is a candidate born who is the thousandth birth of both parental bloodlines, what happens?" Squall pressed on.
"The candidate could be born with powers, or even be male. They are a sorceress from birth, and are unable to pass their powers on. They are said to be the next Hyne. He himself was the last known one with these kinds of powers. It is very rare, and the one with the powers is said to be more powerful then anything or anyone before them." Quistis recalled. "But why are you asking us things we learned our first year of SeeD training? We are know closer to knowing your problems then before."
"I can understand your impatience. But please. We need to clarify a few more things before I can explain." Squall had his hands fisted and leaned his chin on them, hoping that both the friends he had in front of him would soon figure it out so he wouldn't actually have to say anything.
"Of course." nodded Zell as he took Quistis' hand.
"Next. What happens if a sorceress goes without a knight?"
To this, Zell looked over to the instructor, hoping she knew, because he had no clue.
Quistis sighed, then continued to answer. " Well, it all depends on the power of the sorceress."
"Name a few for, just say a weaker sorceress."
"Loss of control of their powers. Nothing else really." the blonde answered.
"Good. Now, how about for someone with, let's see. Um, say a sorceress like Ultimecia. If she went without a knight, what would happen?" Squall pressed on.
"Once again, loss of control of their powers, loss of consciousness, insanity, possibly even death if gone too long without a knight." she finished.
"Wait a minute." Zell interrupted. "Isn't Laguna Ellone's knight?"
Squall nodded, hoping Zell had figured everything out on his own.
"Yeah. Why?" Quistis asked, still not clueing in.
"And Squall has been having periods when he goes insane and trashes his office. And I've seen ya use magic during that time......." Zell trailed off.
"And you have been losing consciousness a lot recently. Is that what you were trying to tell us? Are you saying you are the next Hyne?" Quistis asked, somewhat surprised.
"You must be joking!" exclaimed Zell, then he looked over at the quiet brunet lion.
"I'm afraid that Quistis is right Zell." Squall answered.
