After her shower, Anna met up with Selphie at the cafeteria to grab a bite to eat before going to the Weapons Master's office to choose a weapon. It was there that they ran into Mark and Squall, and it seemed that Mark was testing out a katana against Squall's gunblade, which turned out to not be a good idea as Mark was taking a beating from Squall, but then he surprised them all and executed an outstanding move that threw Squall off balance, making him lose his concentration for a split second as an expression of shock crossed his face. It disappeared almost as soon as it happened and was replaced by a dark, dangerous look that made him seem dangerously handsome to Anna all of a sudden.
She had never seen anyone move as fast as he was at that moment. Every slice with his blade was perfectly executed, every jab equally as strong as the one before. He was perfection. Anna felt her mind slipping into thoughts that she knew better than thinking, but she couldn't help it. She wondered if he would be as perfect behind closed doors. Her daydream reached the point where she just shut and locked the door to his dorm room, leaving only Squall and herself in the dim lighting. It seemed so real to her that she thought she smelled the musky sweet scent of his cologne, and hear the husky sound of his breath. Then she heard the snapping of fingers and reluctantly came out of her dream to find a very agitated Selphie snapping her fingers in front of her face. Squall was in fact standing close enough to her that she could smell his cologne and hear his labored breathing from his rigorous exercise.
"Oh, sorry guys. I kinda spaced out for a minute there."
Selphie smiled and replied, "That's okay, Anna! I just wasn't sure what you were saying. Something about a great evil that will attempt to take over the world unless the lion and his pack rises to defend their home and time, or was it with the help of his friends the lion will defeat the witch and restore peace to the earth? I dunno, anyway it was something creepy like that."
"It was quite strange, Anna," Squall said. "If I remember correctly, I read somewhere that some people have a high ESP level and possess the ability of foresight. It almost seems that you have this ability. Do you remember anything that happened?"
"No, the last thing I remember was watching you and Mark spar and then I started having a daydream, but it didn't include anything about a great evil or a lion or a witch or anything like that. It was just a normal daydream."
"I'd like to talk to the headmaster about this if you don't mind, Anna."
"I don't, but you aren't going right now are you?"
"I had thought about it," Squall said, tilting his head slightly, making him look like a confused puppy.
"Well you can't go without me, and I would like to get a new weapon before anything else happens and test it out."
"Okay, I can hang around for a bit."
They walked up to the Weapons Master's office, but the others stopped at the door. "You have to go in alone, honey." Selphie gave her the thumbs up as she spoke. Anna turned back to the door and opened it. Her first impression was of a saloon in an old western movie. The room was filled with cigar smoke and everything in the room was made of polished wood. The air stunk with the heavy fragrances of stale cigar smoke and whiskey. "Hello," Anna called, "Is anyone here?"
"Ah, hello there little lady. What can old Jack do for ya?" The man who had spoken came from a back room and stopped dead in his tracks when he spotted Anna. "Well, I never thought the day would come that I would see you in my shop, Anna."
"How do you know my name?"
"I have the same gifts you do. I can see future events and I saw one fifteen years ago that said you would come here for guidance, and you would find more than just guidance."
"That's odd cuz I just had a premonition myself according to my friends, but all I experienced was a daydream that had nothing to do with what they heard."
"Those daydreams show more than you think, darlin'. Why don't you tell me about it." She did, and as she talked, she watched his expressions to see what he thought of her dream.
"It seems to me that you will have to interpret this dream as you complete your impending quest," he said, but before she could ask any questions he continued, "Now, before you take a step out of here, we need to get you a weapon, and I have just the thing." Jack returned to the back of his storeroom and came back a few minutes later with a beautifully decorated black case. Inside the case was a gunblade. It was the most stunning thing Anna had ever seen. A lioness was carved into the blade, and flames strung out behind it as though the lioness was leaving a path of fire behind her.
"It's beautiful."
"Her name is Kilgria. Began making her fifteen years ago, after the vision of you, and just finished two weeks ago."
Anna smiled, thanked Jack, and left the office.
