Chapter V: Trajin
The day had finally come, the day for the SeeD field exam. A large quantity of students mostly coming from Instructor Trepe's homeroom, met at the Garden map. Seifer never did change into uniform, and was wearing the same thing he wore everyday. Headmaster Cid arrived to make his brief speech, Seifer knew it to never change too much.
' Well, here we are at another year of the SeeD field exam. You will be proceeding to an actual battlefield; obviously the battles are for real. So, are you still up for it?' Cid looked over them, ' The pride of Balamb Garden, the mercenary force SeeD! Learn from them, obey their commands, ' Cid looked directly at Zarack, ' And complete the mission.'
Seifer noticed that something was missing from the headmaster's speech.
' He left out the SeeD saving the day; should we fail, part…'
Everyone reported to the front gate for squad assignments. Several names were called, to make twenty squads of three cadets. The only squad assignment that Seifer cared to hear was the last one.
' Squad T captain will be Zarack Freiz, Squad T will be Seifer Almasy and Schiria Dukedom. The squads are set, proceed to Balamb to board the vessel.'
Zarack, Seifer, and Schiria met outside Balamb Garden,
' Man, I'm your captain!' Zarack exclaimed, looking at Seifer.
' There's a good reason for that…' Seifer thought, and pointed to Balamb.
' Yeah, we need to get there, I don't want to miss the vessel.' Schiria said.
Zarack nodded, and headed for Balamb, with Seifer and Schiria following him. They arrived in Balamb, and boarded the vessel. Inside the transport, an instructor Seifer never cared to know the name of entered to give the mission briefing.
' We are going to Timber, as you know Timber has received independence shortly after the second sorceress war. Thus, the place is in political turmoil, and the military wishes to take control of the city. The few loyal soldiers are not holding up well, and the request for SeeD was made thirty hours ago. That is the current situation.'
' Okay, mission briefing?' Zarack asked.
' You, Squad T are to go to the Timber Maniacs building, and clear out the enemy camp there. Then you are on standby for additional orders.' The instructor said.
' Another stupid standby order… They always do this…' Seifer thought.
' We are nearly at the strike zone; this transport will land you just outside the city. From there you have a short trek to the city entrance, there you will undoubtedly come across enemy soldiers expecting us. We suspect there to be a large brawl at the entrance, be prepared!' The instructor said, and sat down.
The transport arrived at a beach near Timber, and switched to its land transport mode. It let out the cadets, and returned to the beach. Everyone ran ahead to the city, and just as expected there were several guards waiting for the SeeD backup.
' Here they are, show no mercy to these kids!' The commanding soldier yelled at his men.
The Timber military were armed with standard militia swords; guns with long range were not used very often, for they were disgraceful weapons and should only be used when swords cannot possibly work. The Timber army was well trained, however were unprepared for the surprising strength and skill of the SeeD cadets. They were particularly frightened of Seifer, who killed every soldier within his reach.
Zarack with his two swords were able to fight off enemy soldiers on both sides. The young man's skill was great enough to fight off any soldier who crossed him. Schiria was able to fend off several soldiers; she had uncanny skill with her weapon and left many wounded enemies. The cadets broke through the blockade, and squads A through D had orders to take care of the enemy at the gate before heading to their objectives. Zarack, Schiria, and Seifer met past the gate in the city.
' Okay, we gotta clear out the Timber Maniacs building.' Zarack said, and headed for the landmark.
Seifer and Schiria silently followed him, while a figure watches them.
' What, did she and him have a kid already? Is that why she left me?' The figure asked himself, not in a good mood.
Zarack, Schiria, and Seifer made it to the Timber Maniacs building, and found two guards.
' What the.' Says one of the guards, ' We heard they were sending in SeeD, but kids?'
Without saying anything, Zarack and Seifer finish them off. While they are busy, the figure runs at them, and grabs Schiria. Applying pressure to her hand so she cannot attack with her weapon, and escaping with her.
' Dammit, Trajin!' Seifer exclaimed.
' Great, we gotta go after her!' Zarack says.
' No way, you continue with the mission its your responsibility as leader. It's my duty to protect Schiria.' Seifer tells Zarack, and chases after Trajin.
Zarack shrugged, and headed inside the Timber Maniacs building. Hoping that there are not too many enemy soldiers inside. Seifer was able to catch Trajin and Schiria at the train station.
' When I kill you, you're mother will find solace with me!' He says, clearly insane.
' What are you talking about?' Schiria asked her captor.
' Don't play stupid with me! I know your Fujin's daughter, and that stupid idiot Seifer's as well!' Trajin exclaims.
' I am Schiria Dukedom, I am not Seifer's daughter!' Schiria spat out, as if Trajin had mocked her religion.
' You lie! And now you die!' Trajin yelled.
Suddenly a pulsation of white coloured energy knocks Trajin away.
' Draniya!' Schiria yells, and a dragon white with energy appear from her hands, and flies towards Trajin.
The serpent like dragon hit Trajin, and the energy exploded in a rather passive fashion. Trajin was knocked down by the energy, and did not rise.
Schiria saw Trajin fall still, and ran to Seifer.
' He's not…dead, is he?' She said, tears forming in her eyes.
' Don't know…why are you crying?' Seifer was confused, she wanted to be a SeeD, but could not kill a man.
' I'm not!' She said, blinking the tears away, ' We have to get back to Timber Maniacs, where is Zarack anyway?'
' Since I trained him, he should be done the mission by now.'
' Okay, I guess I fail the exam then, huh Seifer?'
' Never say die, Schiria. Now let's get back to Mr. Leader.' Seifer said, starting a sprint back to the Timber Maniacs building.
Schiria followed Seifer, and soon they found the young cadet sitting on the stairs.
' I got 'em.' Zarack informs them, ' No thanks to you.'
' Right…' Seifer said.
' Also, I received new orders…' Zarack was saying when Seifer interrupted him.
' Better not be an evacuation order…'
' Nope, we got orders to get to the mayor's residence ASAP. Heard his security's almost wiped out, he wants SeeD to go on standby at his residence.' Zarack said.
' Great, we get standby elsewhere…' Seifer said.
' Yeah, we're the one's who got to go there too, so let's get goin', huh?' Zarack ordered, and started for the mayor's house in Timber.
The mayor's house was currently under attack, and the two forces of the enemy military, and security were both wiped out before their eyes.
' Okay, this is the only way in the residence. So we just have to wait here for the enemy.' Zarack sat down, looking down the road for the enemy to come.
It had been several hours, before Schiria started to pace.
' How long is this exam supposed to be?' She asked no one in particular.
' As long as the battle takes, or until an evacuation order is given.' Zarack informed her.
Suddenly a lone form approached them, he was not what any one of them were expecting.
' Trajin!' Seifer exclaimed.
' I just beat him!' Schiria said.
' I'm Raijin's half brother, people in our family can get up after anything!' Trajin laughed.
' Geez, half brother?' Seifer asked, he never thought Raijin had a brother.
' Oh, Raijin doesn't know, not yet anyway. Seifer, I didn't think you had a kid with the goddess named Fujin.' Trajin stated.
' Oh come on!' Seifer yelled, ' I'd never touch Fujin, and that's Schiria Dukedom, she ain't my daughter! I mean, she's fourteen, if she were my daughter I would have to had sex with Fujin when I was five!'
' You're lying! Why would Fujin not wantme if she didn't already mother a child to you?' Infatuation had turned Trajin into a delusional madman.
' Fujin could never want an insane idiot like you! I know her, she ain't the type of woman to be tied down.'
' Once her daughter and you are out of her way she'll be able to settle down, with me!' Trajin took a large spear from off of his back; it had a blade at one end and the other end looked like Raijin's staff.
Seifer drew his gunblade, and his comrades drew their weapons also.
' No, he's mine!' Seifer told them, ' Okay Trajin, let's see if you're at least as strong as Raijin is. Let me show ya why Fujin would favor me over you!' Seifer said, using his secret technique of attacking his enemy's sense with insults.
Trajin ran at Seifer at a fast pace, and slashed at him with the sharp two-foot blade at the end of his wooden staff. Seifer parried the blow, and spun around to Trajin's back; a technique he had used on Squall a year ago. Trajin turned to face Seifer, and saw a Firaga spell heading toward him.
Trajin was not fast enough to evade the fiery blast, and was pushed three feet away. Seifer ran at Trajin as he got up from the Firaga spell, and slashed him with the Hyperion. Trajin attempted to hit Seifer, however was yet again too slow. Seifer made himself five feet away from Trajin, and motioned with his hand to taunt his opponent.
Trajin ran at Seifer with renewed stamina, and slashed at him with all the speed he could muster. Seifer parried each slash, and when Trajin began to tire from attacking, he cast Fire to send him away. He then cast Flare on Trajin to damage him even further. Trajin started to rise again, and Seifer decided to end this miniature battle.
' Okay Trajin, I'm done playing with you. Bloodfest!' Seifer cast Fire on Trajin, and leapt into the air.
While in the air, Seifer made a motion as if carving a cross in the air with his Hyperion. A cross made of fire actually appeared on the ground under Trajin, and the ground broke away from under his feet and Trajin fell into the eternal loop. Trajin then fell from out of he sky, and landed on the ground that had repaired itself after Seifer destroyed it.
Trajin did not arise after Seifer's most powerful Limit Break. Zarack clapped his hands, and Schiria looked frightened of Seifer if only for a second.
' Seifer, that was so unbelievably cool!' Zarack exclaimed.
' I can't believe that you actually carved a bottomless pit into the ground! How did you do it?' Schiria asked.
' It's chi energy, I use it to do many things: from shooting energy beams, to cutting holes in the ground. It's a Limit Break; I call it Fire Cross.' Seifer explained to Schiria.
' Wow, I don't think I'll ever be able to use one of those Limit Breaks.' Schiria said.
' Nah, you've used one already. Limit Breaks are distinguished when you call out a name, that you never knew you knew. I call my Limit Break Blaze.' Zarack explained.
' Oh, really?' Schiria asked.
' Yeah, I've seen two Limit Breaks out of you.' Seifer said.
' Really? Oh, I remember… Vyis and Draniya, right?' Schiria asked Seifer.
' Yeah…' Seifer responded.
' What do you call your Limit Break?' Zarack asked, making conversation to Schiria, he had somewhat taken a liking to the younger member of the opposite sex.
' I don't know… I'll think of something.' Schiria said.
' It isn't really something you think about, it just comes to you… Oh well, just give it time Schiria.' Zarack said.
Suddenly a male SeeD cadet, that looked around the same age as Zarack approached them. He saluted, and began to relay his message.
' I am Tomoyuki Takechi of Squad A, intelligence team. The mission is successful; the military has surrendered to Timber. We have orders to meet at EVAC by thirteen hundred hours.' He said.
' Great, a whole hour to get back to the vessel…' Zarack said, mocking the time Squall, Zell, and Selphie were chased out of Dollet by the X-ATMO92 Black Widow, ' Well, let's go, don't wanna be late!' He said, and took off for the exit of Timber.
Seifer laughed, and followed Zarack with Schiria and the messenger behind him. The transport was just outside Timber, and Zarack with his squad were able to get inside the transport in two minutes. Even still they were the last ones to arrive.
' What the hell? I thought you were to get that message to us ASAP? Why is everyone here ahead of us?' Zarack questioned the messenger.
' Well, I saw Seifer fighting that guy, and it was so damn cool! I had to watch; besides I couldn't really interrupt you, could I?' The messenger said, smiling.
' Yeah…' Zarack said, and boarded the vessel.
Seifer and Schiria silently followed him. The SeeD field exam was once again a success, and unbelievably none of the cadets were killed in the beginning with the fortification at the entrance. Needless to say that everyone who participated were alive and well.
The transport sped off back to Balamb, several of the cadets were wondering if they had passed the field exam and become a SeeD. Seifer sat confidently, he knew he was going to pass; he did everything that was ordered. Zarack wondered if he lost points when he let Seifer go after Schiria, and Schiria had gathered enough from her experience that she had failed.
They had made it back to Balamb, and left for the Garden. Zarack and his squad returned to Garden how they had left, on foot. As soon as they had arrived at the Garden, they heard the announcement for all of the cadets who took place in the field exam to meet in the second floor hallway.
They complied, and took the elevator up to the second floor, and noticed the other fifty-seven other cadets there as well. After three minutes of waiting, a Garden faculty worker came from the elevator, and took out the list of students that passed the field exam.
' Only four students have passed this field exam.' He started, ' In order of highest rank: Almasy, Freiz, Takechi, Dukedom.' The faculty worker then left for the elevator to accompany the graduates up to the headmaster's office.
Schiria's eyes widened with surprise, she did not expect to pass the field exam. The four who passed the field exam followed the faculty worker to the elevator, and the other cadets looked greatly disappointed.
In front of the headmaster, everyone stood at attention. Seifer also stood at attention for this one special occasion. Cid stood up to give the cadets their final grade, and congratulatory handshake.
Cid started with the lowest grade, going up to the highest, as always. He went to Schiria.
' You have great potential, just try not to get kidnapped again.' He whispered to her, in a cheerful way.
' GF's aren't everything, sometimes you need to let your own weapon do the fighting.' Cid whispered to Tomoyuki.
' Strength and vigor wins battles, but remember that today's SeeD needs to use his mind too.' He whispered to Zarack.
' Seifer, you will be a great SeeD should you keep this up!' He whispered to Seifer.
After the final grades were handed out, Cid stood in the center of the four SeeDs, and dismissed them. Seifer met Zarack and Schiria at the second floor, just outside the elevator.
' Okay, we get to give a speech in homeroom now!' Zarack said, sarcastically.
' What?' Schiria blurted, ' But I don't have one prepared!'
' You don't prepare one, its not really a speech anyway. You just go up, and tell them how you passed the field exam, or how you persevered over your biggest hurdles…' Seifer said, ' I heard several.'
' Oh, okay.' Schiria said.
' Okay, let's go get it over then.' Zarack walked slowly to the classroom on the second floor.
Everyone had cleared out of the hallway, which Seifer found to his liking. Zarack entered the classroom first, and then Schiria, and lastly Seifer. Everyone applauded the four SeeDs, and waited for the inevitable and very famous new SeeD speech. It went in way of, lowest grade to highest, saving the best for last.
Schiria stood at the instructor's desk, which acted as a podium. She started her minor speech.
' Becoming a SeeD takes a great effort, to gain the knowledge to proceed in missions and survive battle. The field exam proved to me my limitations, and strengths. All you need to keep in mind is that you are capable of anything. Those words kept me alive.' Schiria then left to be beside Zarack and Seifer.
Tomoyuki then went up, and talked about the importance of "keeping cool" in battle. Seifer whispered to Zarack and Schiria.
' Yeah, 'cause he kept using the GF to fight all his battles.' He mumbled to his students, Zarack and Schiria were able to smirk, and keep from laughing at this.
Next was Zarack, he decided to tell them about the importance of training.
' The key to survival in battle is to have fighting experience, and to keep vitality. The Training Center is open all day and all night for a reason, spend the day there when you have the time.' Zarack stopped, for that was all he wanted to say.
Lastly was Seifer, who had the highest marks and received the highest honors from Headmaster/Garden Master Cid. He, in the same fashion as he did when he was Galbadia's general, stood in front of the cadets.
' You all know me; I'm Seifer Almasy. You know about me from rumors around the Garden. I have nothing to say to you.' Seifer left the classroom, everyone inside were perplexed but truly did not expect too much of a speech from Seifer Almasy.
Zarack and Schiria found that Seifer had already gone when they exited the classroom.
' Probably at the Training Center…' Zarack said.
Sure enough Seifer was at the Training Center, Zarack and Schiria entered soon after he did and found him finishing off a T-Rexuar.
' Seifer, how did you do on the field exam?' Schiria asked him.
' You first.' Seifer responded.
' Uh, well, I got an ace in conduct, but I got varying grades in everything else.' Schiria said, handing Seifer her grades.
' Conduct: one hundred, Spirit: sixty, Judgment: seventy, Attack: sixty. Damn good for a rookie cadet, and she's my student!' Seifer said.
' What about you Seifer?' Zarack asked.
' Saving the best for last Zarack, you?' Seifer said.
' Okay,' He said, holding up his SeeD report, ' Conduct: ninety, Spirit: one hundred, Judgment: one hundred, Attack: one hundred. You need a perfect score to top that!' Zarack said, and Seifer silently handed him his SeeD report, ' Woah!' Zarack exclaimed, ' You got all aces!'
' Yeah, I'm just that good!' Seifer told him, taking his SeeD report back.
' How'd you manage that?' Zarack asked Seifer.
' By being the best!' Seifer said arrogantly, ' But I did have to use some will power to follow orders like a little puppet.' Seifer added.
' Well, you certainly are good Seifer, I don't think that anyone in SeeD has gotten a perfect grade.' Schiria said.
' That's where you're wrong Schiria, I'm only the second to do it.' Seifer said.
' Don't tell me Squall got it.' Zarack blurted.
' No, Leonheart isn't that good. Trepe was the first SeeD in Garden history to ace the filed exam. I can't wait to see the look on her face when she hears I'm the second!' Seifer said, and began laughing.
Zarack and Schiria started laughing as well, they were all glad the field exam was behind them. Zarack and Schiria started to leave, because they remembered the SeeD inauguration party. Before he exited, Zarack reminded Seifer.
' Hey Seifer, we got to go change for the party tonight. And before I got here, Cid told me that you're going to have a surprise tonight. Oh, he also told me that you have to be in the SeeD uniform.' Zarack told Seifer, and then left.
' Yeah… Well, we'll just see how the thing looks on me first…' Seifer said to himself, while leaving for his dorm.
Seifer tried on the SeeD uniform, and he decided it just did not make him look like Seifer Almasy. So he changed out of the black SeeD uniform, and back into his normal trench coat dress. Soon came the time for the SeeD inauguration party, it was basically just a spirit builder for the new SeeDs. All new SeeDs from each Garden came to Balamb Garden for the party, as they were being relocated there anyway.
At the party Seifer sat alone far away from dance floor, he did not want to be seen anywhere near the dance scene. At the other end of the quad, Headmaster Cid stood with two SeeDs, one almost twice as tall as Cid, and the other female SeeD was his height exactly.
' Well then, there's a special guest here for you. Look around the room, I'm certain you'll be quite shocked when you see him!' Cid announced to the female SeeD.
' You mean Seifer over there?' She asked, and pointed to the only white trench coat in the room.
' What! Great, Seifer just ruined my surprise for you…' Cid said, and the taller man laughed in a deep voice.
' Well… Since he's here that means he's a SeeD, that's a welcome sight.' The female SeeD said, shaking her head.
' Well, go up to him then, I'm certain he'll get a kick out of seeing you two here.' Cid said.
' Yeah, let's go see Seifer!' The tall SeeD said.
' No, I'll go get him.' The female SeeD said.
She walked across the room to Seifer occupying a lone table; he appeared that if nothing interesting happened he would die. She walked up to Seifer, and tapped him on the shoulder.
' Well Seifer, we finally got to SeeD.' She said.
Seifer literally leaped out of his chair.
' Fujin! Where have you been?' He greeted her.
' Galbadia Garden.'
' Well, good to know there will finally be a normal person around here!'
' Raijin's at the far wall there. Let's go.' Fujin said, and Seifer followed her to the other end of the room.
The Disciplinary Committee had finally reunited after a two-month period; it had been the longest time Raijin and Fujin had been away from the "leader" of their posse. The three of them talked about their experiences in their separate Gardens. Raijin started with his adventures in Galbadia.
' Well, Fujin and me, went to Galbadia Garden, ya know? We got evaluated by Headmaster Martine, and took a couple of classes. They were easy, ya know? So we went straight to the SeeD written test. I crammed every bit 'o info that I could fit in my head to pass this thing, and Fujin just wrote on some piece of paper! But lo and behold, we passed, ya know? After that we forgot we didn't have GF's, forgot all about 'em because we don't use them that often, ya know? So Fujin went back to the wind cavern on the Centra continent, and I went to Deling to get to the Tomb of the Unknown King. I got the Brothers. Our field exam was a piece of cake! We just went in and got rid of all the enemies, ya know? And now we're transferred here.'
Fujin was the next one to share their story.
' As Raijin said, we went to Galbadia Garden. Martine let us attend classes, and we passed the SeeD written test. Raijin, I did more than just write on a piece of paper, I wrote everything I know about battles, and Garden code on that paper. Writing what you know is better than just cramming.' She sighed, ' I went back to the Wind Cavern to get Pandemona, and finally got back all of my Aero and Tornado spells.'
' What I want to know is: since when did you start talkin' normal?' Seifer asked Fujin.
' Just kinda started.' Fujin shrugged, ' Besides, in SeeD missions sometimes people need to know what your point is so you can give better orders.'
' Now I've been telling you that for years, 'bout time you started taking my advice!' Seifer laughed.
Raijin laughed with Seifer, and got kicked in the shin by Fujin.
' Ow!' Raijin yelled.
Seifer walked to the Training Center, he had enough of the party. Fujin and Raijin followed him, and they soon found themselves fighting T-Rexuars together. Seifer, Fujin, and Raijin made a stupendous team, Raijin would distract the enemy while Seifer and Fujin would attack as a single unit. Fujin needed Raijin to be an effective fighter, and Raijin equally needed Fujin to be a menacing force. With Seifer the posse was an unstoppable force.
Zarack found Seifer with his posse, he would have ran right up to Seifer, however decided to stay back enough to not be seen, and watch the posse work together. Schiria came up from behind Zarack, and saw him be secretive.
' What are you doing?' She asked her voice was low.
' Watching, let's see how Seifer works together with Raijin and Fujin.' Zarack responded.
' Captain Raijin and Commander Fujin? They were high standing officers in the Galbadian army. They're SeeD's too?' Schiria asked.
' There's a lot we don't know… I think there's some kind of conspiracy here between the three of them…'
' Bad?' Schiria asked she was surprised.
' Don't think so, if Seifer was the General of the Galbadian army during the second Sorceress War, and he's a good guy now, I don't think Fujin and Raijin are all that.'
' Okay…' Schiria looked closely at how well Seifer, Fujin, and Raijin worked together.
Three Grats crossed paths with the posse, and met a cross sweep that hit them all from Fujin's Shrunken, and a triple fire spell from Seifer that killed them all.
' What was that? I know they're strong, but a multiple target hit from Fujin, and a triple fire spell isn't that strong…' Zarack whispered.
' I remember Fujin came to Dollet, they were looking for someone, that's how I heard of Fujin and Raijin. Fujin actually talked to me, she told me this, " PRIDE, POWERFUL. ONE HIT. WEAK!" She pointed to her weapon when she said Pride; I think that's what she called her weapon. Anyway, she said that in one hit the enemy is weak, that's a powerful weapon!' Schiria explained to Zarack.
' Why didn't they torch Dollet?' Zarack asked, knowing that Galbadia burned the cities they visited during the second Sorceress War.
' Dollet was an ally to Galbadia at that time, didn't the instructors teach you anything?'
' Sorry I'm not the daughter of the mayor…'
A T-Rexuar attacked Raijin, sending him a foot away. Raijin immediately got up, and hit the T-Rexuar before using his famed "Raijin Special" on it. Fujin cast Aura on Seifer, and the knight used his "Demon Slice" Limit Break to finish off the behemoth.
' Man! That Raijin sure is strong, Trajin was right his family can get up after anything.' Zarack whispered.
' I remember talking to Raijin too. He said, " This is my Strength, ya know? Nothin' can kill me when I use my Strength; nothin's powerful enough." He pointed to his staff when he said Strength.' Schiria explained.
' Superstition…' Zarack trailed off, ' Damn, those three can work well together. And I thought we were unstoppable.'
' We who?'
' Seifer, you, and me.'
' No, I'm not strong enough.'
' You're plenty strong enough Schiria; you're a SeeD aren't ya?'
' Still…' Schiria trailed off.
The posse defeated one more group of Grats, and then left the Training Center. Zarack and Schiria left after them. They met at the hallway to the large dorm area; Seifer was reading the single dorm assignments for new SeeDs. Raijin noticed the two approaching.
' Seifer, your two students are comin'.' He informed Seifer.
' Zarack, Schiria, your dorms are one nine two, and one nine three accordingly.' He said, not turning to see them.
' Right.' Zarack replied, and headed for his new dorm.
Schiria silently went to her dorm, and received a surprise when she entered. On the wall was a rack to hold two swords, and every issue of Combat King, Weapons Monthly, and Battle Series lay on the bed in an orderly fashion. This was not her room. Zarack received a similar surprise by seeing photos of the Dukedom family on the small desk in the room. Seifer was heard behind them with Fujin and Raijin laughing.
' There's a ten percent chance that I got that mixed up you guys.' He said, the mock clear in his voice.
Schiria was upset that Seifer had just lied to her, a small lie, but a lie nonetheless. Zarack was angry enough to attack Seifer, however decided that it was too late in the night to start anything.
Seifer then left for his dorm, with Fujin and Raijin just behind him reliving their time in the Garden before the second Sorceress War.
