1 Chapter 25

1.1 Lost Love





Quistis Trepe sat on her veranda watching the sun set. It was a beautiful day and she felt better then ever. Even if she was thirty-six she felt like eighteen again. Yet she didn't want to remember the past, those were hidden chapters of her life. Her sapphire blues looked upon her wedding finger where a silver band sat there. It had a carved flame and from time to time it would shimmer and she would swear she heard a lone howl. He was waiting for her, but now he was searching for her. She loved him yet she couldn't handle the pressure. Oh Seifer…

The phone rang inside and she quickly ran inside to pick it up.

"Hello?" she said.

"Quistis?" a masculine voice asked.

"Yeah?"

"Quistis! Oh it feels good to hear your voice again. I've missed you so much…"

"Seifer? How did you get this number?" Quistis exclaimed.

"Don't worry about that, I'm coming tonight."

"What!? No you…" but the line was dead. Why? I thought he would forget me? I can't come back to him…I'll ..I'll loose control! Quistis put the phone back on its handle and paced her living room. Finally she spotted her pills that Doctor Odine had prescribed her. They were strong medication that gave her control over her ring and made her drowsy with sleep.

She rushed over to the counter top and opened the bottle. Out came a red- coated pill and yet her hand wouldn't obey. The sun had set already but she never thought that the power take her now! The pain began with her stomach and yet she fought as hard as she could. The pill fell from her palm and she fell to the floor. With her remaining will she leaped for the pill. A convulsion went through her and her arm hit the glass table in the living room. Shards of glass ripped into her skin and blood gushed out. She fell to the carpeted floor and her last vision was the little red pill only a foot away.

Quistis woke up in the middle of the night and she tried to stand up but she toppled over her legs. She shook her head and she noticed that her vision was different. Everything around her was brighter with different variety of colors, even though it was pitch black. Her head felt dizzy and she laid down hoping that it would go away. Quistis was right about that and then a new feeling swept over her. She was hungry and hungry for raw meat.

She tried to get up again and failed. She looked down upon her body and noticed that she did not have two legs but four! Great just my luck…great Hyne I'm hungry!

Quistis leaped out of an open window and she trotted along the paved walkways. Esther was beautiful at night.

: I am glad that you have accepted who you really are meant to be. : a female voice whispered in the back of her mind.

: What are you talking about? And can you finally explain everything to me. I'm larger then any ordinary wolf, I'm almost as big as a blue dragon! :

: Very well, I was once the great protector of the Goddess Hyne along with my mate. We had no names except that she called us her spirit wolves. We were once a great race many eons ago but we were quickly dying out. So the great Hyne transformed my mate and I into immortal GF's so that we may protect in the great time of need. You are destined to be joined with me and it was written in the stars before the great Goddess herself. :

:Oh. But why me? And why Seifer? Is my daughter a spirit wolf? Hyne, I have so many questions, I just hope if you'll be able to answer them.:

:We have time now, while we travel to me up with your mate. :

:Seifer? Oh might as well. :

: He has missed you much, dear Quistis. He is madly in love with you. :

:What is your name? : Quistis asked after several silent moments.

: My name is Akital, my mates name is Terron. We were part of the Wolver race. We were built to withstand hunger for a month and are able to hold water in our stomachs as a source for our energy when there is no food or water near by. We were also granted the ability to transform ourselves into hybrids. We stand like a human but we have wolver characteristics. Also our height was a necessity; we were the tops of the food chain and we have several attack and magic abilities granted only to us by the great Hyne herself. I hope that has answered most of your questions. :

:Almost, how are the rings and u GF's connected?:

: Oh, when the last evil sorceress was destroyed eighteen moons ago, great Hyne told us that we were to serve her again. She told us that the Earthen Oracle has foretold her that it is time to protect her and her realm. We were transformed into the silver rings. Hyne had assured us that only you or your mate would be attracted to the bands. : the voice sighed, : And now here we are. Now hush, we are nearby :

Quistis had a lot to think about but when she asked several more questions the voice was silent but there. She was in the Main Esther Park, which was technically about ten acres. She found a pool and sat waiting for something or someone. She was terribly hungry but that disappeared when she saw a shadow walking toward her. It was him! It was Seifer…a wolver like her.

Seifer slowly walked over to her. His silver fur moved silkily as the breeze passed through. She sat there on her haunches, those golden trails of fur swayed silently above her azure eyes. She seemed to shimmer yet he longed for her to be human so he could touched her skin again and love her.

"Quistis…"

"Seifer, I never thought that I would ever see you again."

"Why did you run away? Why didn't you tell me I had a daughter until ten years ago?"

"I was afraid, scared…it was too much too handle. I went wild and berserk." She managed to say. Seifer's wolf head nodded slowly as he understood.

"I had married Fuijin, she gave me a son, Dark Blade Almasy." He said. Quistis was taken aback at the news and felt guilty for leaving and jealous that another woman had him.

"So how are you faring with your wife and son?" Quistis blurted out angrily. She didn't mean to make her words sound that way, but it was too late now. She noticed his green aquatic eyes turn dark with sadness.

"She died after giving birth to Blade. Yet she was only a second love, I have always loved you." He whispered to her.

Change me Akital! Change us both! I yearn to hold him…

: Very well :

Seconds later both Quistis and Seifer were standing nude in the little clearing. They entwined themselves and stayed that way for several long minutes. Shivers crawled up and down her spine, yet she felt his warmth…for her. This wasn't the sorceress's lap dog. No, this was the true Seifer. The hidden Seifer that she had never known since that special night eighteen years ago. She never knew she missed him this much and she hugged onto him tighter.

"Come back to Balamb with me…" he whispered softly into her ear.

"But…"

"No buts. I have an inn and pub, enough room to hold all of Balamb. I want you to come home and I want you to marry me." He replied. The last words were like warm honey and she smiled. She knew in her heart that it was time for her to go home.

"Yes Seifer. I have been gone way too long." Quistis replied and kissed his lips softly. They quickly returned to GF forms and slipped off into the night.
