Final Fantasy 8 Retired SeeDs
"My Grandson ran away?" Squall was jumping out of his chair, and his wife Rinoa was next to him, weeping. Squall's Son and his wife returned to the nursing home the day after the Anniversary. They have brought bad news to them all about their own son which was Squall's and Rinoa's Grandson.
Many of the Elders and even the parents of the missing Child blamed the runaway on Squall. They thought that due to the chat about the sealed Gunblades, the Son went out to look for them.
"Dark Times look like they are returning..." The wrinkly, old Squall was speaking, "I'm sure little Laguna sensed this coming." Squall's Grandson was named after Squall's father. Laguna. The parents were getting irritated. Even if the sky was darker than usual that day, they didn't want to believe in any nonsense from the foolish old man. They wanted to look for their son.
Everyone was asking Squall where the Gunblades were sealed, because that may be where Laguna would be heading. Squall shurgged and replied innocently, "Honestly, I can't remember where the Gunblades are sealed. It's been so long ago and my memory has worn away. I just remember it being somewhere Northwest from here. Far, Far Away...."
Rinoa's mind was still sharp and she was there when Seifer and Squall sealed away the Gunblades. She remembered the location of them almost exactly! She told the others and even wanted to go with them in search for her grandchild, but the others forbidden it and went against the idea.
Squall couldn't be bothered at all either in his ripe age to even suggest going, for he was weary just from talking to the younger generations about the situation. It was there time for an adventure. Squall and Rinoa already had enough of their own adventure in their age.
It was a curiousity upon how the young Laguna could even find the underground ruins in which the Gunblades laid. Rinoa had an ideal about it, but thought of it as nonsense anyways and kept her mouth shut.
Before the others would get on a ship and head out to the ocean below the very dark sky, Squall and Rinoa, and Irvine, Selphie, and Quistis all thought that it was best that they gave their Guardian Forces to those who were going out to search for Little Laguna, and the Gunblades....
The GFs were powerful Creatures that gave them great strength for so many years, and the strength needed to be passed down unto the next generation. At least they wouldn't have to train to fight off Sorcerers and Sorceresses. The name SeeD didn't exist for a very long time once Ultimecia was done with, but Squall, Rinoa, Irvine, Selphie, and Quistis were still always known as the Retired SeeDs.
