If it had been any other day the Garden would have been normal, but today
was the day of the SeeD field exam. Many of the students of the Garden were
nervous. For the first year students it was hell. Many of the kids were
worried about failing where others were already trying to figure out how
many times they'd taken the damn test. Amongst the bustling group of
students was D'meera Almasy patiently awaiting for her instructor to
announce who was going to be in who's group and who will be the captain.
Walking up to D'meera was the Head masters son, Talon.
"So… how many times are you gonna take this test?" he asked looking at her.
"Just once. Why? How much did you bet with my brother?"
"Oh I didn't bet anything. I was just asking seeing that you're like your father I wanted to know."
"Well guess what dumb shit I'm not like my father, I'm nothing like him, I'm myself and besides you shouldn't worry about me maybe you should worry passing this time. I doubt the almighty Headmaster Leonhart would like it if his rivals daughter beat out his one son at being SeeD." She smirked as she finished watching Talon's look change.
"Shut up. At least my father is capable of thinking for himself, not like your lapdog father who couldn't even say no to a weak sorceress."
Dee just glared daggers at him as he said that. How dare he insult her father. She'd show him just as she was about to say something Instructor Leonhart entered the class.
"Ok, hi class", she beamed, " well today is in fact the field exam and I need the following people to meet Commander Almasy in front of the directory. Talon Leonhart, Jared and Tiarra Kinneas, Ki'ran Valinteen, and D'meera Almasy. As for everyone else, maybe next time."
Rinoa smiled as she looked at the Almasy girl. She knew the girl would make it, it was her son that she worried about. She new it was Talon's last chance. She watched as he joined a group of kids by the directory. Alora and Julia also took their spots next the their brother. Walking towards the group was her husband and the commander. She smiled at both of them.
"Ok I assume everyone is here", Squall asked as the students nodded to one another.
"Well as you all know today is your field exam. Since there isn't much happening at the moment I'll inform you that today's exam shouldn't be that hard there will be four groups deployed around the city of Esthar. Now I'll leave it to Commander Almasy to give you your groups and your duties. Commander."
"Right, ok, for both Squads A and B your main objective will be to conduct a search of the Sorceress Memorial, we have received word that there is some sort of activity going on up there you are to notify us immediately if you find anything out of ordinary. For Squads C and D, you are to exterminate any monsters lurking about Esthar. I know it's been a long time since the Lunar Cry but there are still the occasional surviving monsters there. Squad A will be made up of Aurdrian Loire, Jared Kinneas and Squad A's captain will be D'meera Almasy. Squad B will be made up of Talon Leonhart, Ki'ran Valinteen and captain will be Jenner Dincht."
Dee didn't really pay any attention after her squad had been announced. As they boarded the Ragnarok Dee looked to her squad with confidence. This is gonna be and easy exam she thought to herself. She looked at Aurdrian and smiled.
He looked a lot like his father, everything from the long ebony hair to the goofy grin. She had a certain bond with him that no one could understand. Although Jared was her best friend Aurdrian was different, he was more her companion in battle. Both D'meera and him were ruthless when it came to fighting. Everyone in Garden knew that these two when put together were a lethal duo.
Squall, Zell and Irvine had witnessed once the ruthlessness they both exerted upon a t-rexuar. And it wasn't even the poor thing's fault, it was THEY who attacked it. Both he and Zell watched as the two crept up on it and attacked like two starving ruby dragons. Irvine couldn't believe what his eyes were seeing. He watched the two from afar, as they proceeded to kill the beast in a matter of seconds. Both seemed to communicate with each other by some sort of unseen link. When Dee would attack Aurdrian would cast as much magic as possible. To the amazement of their onlookers, they hadn't once needed to summon a GF not once!
As much as, Squall wanted to deny it he and Rinoa had concluded that both his younger brother and Seifer's daughter were indeed Sorceress and Knight. He knew the consequences of letting them train together and he went to Edea for help about it.
"It's best left alone my dear. If she is content then she will do no harm."
"But Matron I'm worried, what if someone finds out? What will happen? And should I tell Laguna and Seifer?"
"Yes I'm aware of that Squall but it is best to see if your accusation's of your brother being her knight are true. What will happen to the poor child if you assumed wrong? And to think what will she do?"
"So you are confirming that she is a Sorceress?"
"No I'm saying keep an eye on her but don't interfere yet. I will talk to Seifer about it. As for now let them be"
And he did just that he let them be. It wasn't until the new kid showed up that he decided to watch Dee more closely. It seemed that Ki'ran was a little secretive about where he went sometimes Dee would follow him and not comeback for a few days at a time. And when she returned it seemed to anger Aurdrian more then usual. He had over heard him one time lecturing D'meera about his vow to protect her and how could he if she kept disappearing with Ki'ran. Squall was worried now more then ever about the kids. He had a weird feeling that today's exams would be more then just a walk in the park.
…………
I looked at her smile at me and I felt a warm sensation run threw me. She was beautiful and she knew it. I had never really felt that way before but I did now and I loved every waking minute of it. She was my Sorceress and I was her Knight. I never figured I could become a knight but I was. It was our secret, no one knew, they couldn't and we were very careful about it too. It was wonderful it was more then I could ever dream of. No one would ever know what it's like save for her father who was and ex-knight fallen from grace. But I, WE, were different I wouldn't fail her. I had no need too. I was strong I could protect her, no one else but me. That was until today….
"So… how many times are you gonna take this test?" he asked looking at her.
"Just once. Why? How much did you bet with my brother?"
"Oh I didn't bet anything. I was just asking seeing that you're like your father I wanted to know."
