Scene 2 (Rinoa)
"We have matters to discuss, Mr. Leonhart, please come with me." (Squall follows the elder and goes into a room filled with Estharian soldiers, generals, and officials.) (They were all seated in a table and the elder motioned for Squall to sit on a seat next to him)
(Squall sat) A very important looking official spoke. "We are gathered here to speak of the behalf of Sorceress Rinoa." Rinoa? hat's he want with her? "As everyone knows she is possessed by a future sorceress and released the sorceress Adel. Even though if Adel is now confined once more, courtesy of our brave Estharian soldiers, the sorceress must perish for the good of our world." (Everyone nods, except Squall)
"What do you mean perish you bastards! You're not planning to kill Rinoa are you!" Squall screamed at them banging his fist on the table, "Is this what this meeting's about,
to assassinate the sorceress!" Squall looked at them all, waiting for a response. The head official rouse. "Mr. Leonhart, calm yourself! I know this may be a shock to you, but unless you want to destroy this world's future and the world itself, we must kill the sorceress!" The elder said, staring Squall down with his sharp black eyes. "Look! I don't care what you think, Rinoa can't die! I won't let you! Even if it means I'll have to kill you!" Squall draws out his gunblade from his waist. Everyone was shocked now, for they all knew Squall's strength. "There must be some other way!" Squall shouted at them angrily. One of the elders stood up. "Mr. Leonhart, there is one way…But you may lose your life." The elder said firmly. Squall lowered his gun blade. "Please tell me."
"The only way, is to have you become a sorcerer and inherit the sorceress' powers. But you will have to risk your life for your soul might not be strong enough to hold those powers." The elder told him. "You will have to live in solitude then, never aging, never interacting with people. You will live in confinement and solitude forever more restraining your powers for the sake of this world." The elder finished. Squall glanced down at the floor. "But why does Rinoa have to be killed, why can't you just restrain her powers?" Squall asked. "The sorceress' body is weak, and her powers grow as every day passes. Someday she will not be able to control her powers for her powers will be too great. She will kill herself, bringing this planet with her…However sorcerers are different. They can hold their powers and have stronger bodies. They will never age, but if they leave their confinement, or do anything else than staying confined, their powers will destroy the planet. Even change of emotions for a sorcerer can endanger the planet…
But its not that easy. If your body is not qualified to become a sorcerer, the powers will kill you. But if you are strong, then you will be able to hold the powers." The elder finished."
"Mr. Leonhart, it's a horrible life to live and its easier to assassinate the sorceress. It would be more convenient if we just assassinated the sorceress." The elder included.
"No…"Squall said, "I'll do it, I'll inherit her powers." As long as Rinoa is safe and happy, I think I can live like that. If I do pass the test to inherit her powers, I can live like that. I've lived alone for so long, I can do it again. And if I don't pass, then at least I know I tried to save Rinoa's life. That has to be enough. Goodbye Rinoa…Squall blinked out tears and said, "I'll do it."
"Alright,start preparations." The head elder announced. Squall, looking at the floor thought about his decision and its outcome. I'll be okay as soon as Rinoa's safe…
Well, that's it, thanks for reading! I'll do the next chapter in 2 days. R& R please!
