Intro
The room was dark. The sun did not come up to grace the room with any light yet as it was busy traveling to other places. Squall was sleeping in his bed. The clock on the side of his bed only read "3:22 AM" which meant that the sun was on its way. The room was a peaceful silence and a comfortable dark. These were the right conditions to any sleeping person. a few seconds pass and the silence ended.
"Calling student ID number 874202. Please report to headmaster Cid's office at once!" The intercom rang loudly and knocked Squall out of his bed out of shock. Squall looked at the clock then at the intercom.
"Damn that thing is so loud. they were suppose to fix that...I wonder why Cid wants to see me at 3:24 for." he said as he slowly onto his feet. He was very tired but still did as he was ordered. He turned around and flicked a switch on the wall and a bright light greeted his eyes. Squall squinted his eyes as he went to his door and pushed it lightly. the door opened with no effort. The first thing he noticed was the table as he flicked the light switch to the on position. Squall stood there and stretched. He was wearing his night clothes which consisted of a black T-shirt and black pants.Not much to say about his attire at this moment. He Finished his stretch and put his arms down. He approached the table and sat down for a second thinking to himself. His face showed no emotion. It gave off a more "tired expression", He sat there and thought for a minute, then rose to his feet again. He was in no rush to even go to Cid's office.
Squall approaches the door that is the exit to his dorm. He gave the handle a small twist and pulled the door lightly. This door was more heavier then the last one so it took more effort to be opened. As squall let go of the door, it started to close. the door made a small clicking sound as fully shut itself. He walked down the empty hallway looking out the window. The stars were bright and the moon was only covered by one fine strip of clouds giving the bottom half a blurred effect. It was kind of cool. Squall did not stop to view the sights as he neared the exit of the dormitory halls. When he reached the exit and went through the arches that the doors would be if there were any, He was in a huge room with many doors and paths leading him to different halls around the garden. You guessed it. it was the main lobby. He walked to the edge of the path and was greeted by two of the night security. They were waring hats that act like hoods that hid there face so no one could see.
"Squall Student number 874202. Here you are. please take the elevator to the 3rd floor, Cid is expecting you" one of them said. The other remained quiet and motionless as if no one was even in that suit and it was just there to scare off any students who were going to sneak out at night. Like a human scarecrow of sorts.
Squall took the key card and put it in his pocket. He nodded at his instructions and turned around and walked down the lobby main path. It was a big giant circle that led to many different hallways. Altho the one he wanted was in the front most part. He reached the staircase and walked up the steps while dragging his feet. He was sort of out of it as he reached the top of the staircase. He walked toward the elevator and pushed a button. The elevator doors slam open as squall enters into the elevator. The doors close with a small hissing sound which at times could get annoying especially when Zell had his boredom attack and rode the elevator up and down 13 or 15 times before getting yelled at. He inserted the key card and the elevator went up at a normal relaxing pace. It was soothing, it gave a good feeling as the elevator sped up past the 2nd floor. He thought about what the headmaster wanted him for. Did he do something wrong, or did he not do something at all. Or perhaps he is bored and needs someone to talk to. The elevator jerked as it came to a sudden halt. the doors opened slowly and.
"Hello Squall!" Cid said surprising squall who fell over due to shock "Come in come in" he said as he walked into his office holding the doors open. Squall slowly got on to his feet. He was quite awake now. He stepped into his office as Cid shut the doors. The inner workings of his office could be summed up in a few words. It was an un sorted mess. Books piled up on shelves that seemed to be forgotten. Squall gets that impression due to the major dust build up on the books. Papers were scattered and spread across his desk so you could not see the desk itself. then in the corner there was a stack of boxes with what seemed to be equipment. After looking through the room he sat in a seat and watched Cid sit at his desk. Cid wore a grin as he folded his arms and sat back in his chair which seemed comfortable. "Hmm." He said as he looked around his desk. He searched his whole desk from top to bottom. What was he looking for? was it his report? or maybe even a dismissal sheet.. or worse "Ahh" He said as he rose his head up into view and stood up. He walked around the desk and looked at Squall. "Here. For your amazing talent and achievement of saving the world from the horrors of time compression. i will give you this" He hands him the black Crystal.
"Cid" Squall said "You don't have to..."
"But i insist." Cid said interrupting Squall as he sat back down in the big brown and seemingly soft chair. "It is an really old relic Said to contain power. What the power is i am not sure." He said sitting back and looking at the ceiling. "I have had that for awhile and I still have no use for it so why not just give it to you? Some one more young and may have a use for it sooner or later. Maybe on one of your adventures" he laughed gently.
"I see..." Squall said looking at the Crystal. It looked like a black rock with jagged points. it seemed more like a knife or dagger more then a gem.
Cid watched squall which seemed to be falling asleep in his own thoughts. He took his glasses off and wiped them on his shirt after breathing on them then put them back on. "maybe you should go back to bed squall you seem tired."
Squall looked up at him his face gave a 'gee you think?' expression but he finally said "yeah your right" he said as he stood up stumbling a little as he tries to stand up straight.
Cid gave a nod and watched him as he got up and chuckled at his little stumble "careful" he said watching him as he left his office. Cid sat back and shook his head "He can amaze me sometimes and at others entertain me. He is just full of surprises." He said to himself leaning back and closing his eyes.
Squall was in the elevator as it made its slow decent to the bottom floor. His ride down gave a slight upward push on his body. This made Squall dizzy. As the elevator stopped, he fell a little bit as he caught himself on the wall. The elevator door whooshes open. He steps out of the elevator as the doors close and made the hissing sound. This yet again reminded him of zells antics. He sighed as he walked down the stairs and stopped at the bottom. He looked around at the dimly lit lobby. It was peaceful yet seemed a little creepy. He started his way back to his dorm.and put his head down. He walked past the 2 night watches and they just watched him as he walked by not uttering a single word. They don't seem to have a mind of there own some times. Squall never bothered to talk to any of them. He entered the dorm halls and looked out the windows, The sky was covered in a thin layer of clouds but you can still see a blurred version of the moon. He made it to the end of the hall and walked up to his room. He punched in his pass code and omened up his door. He gave the door a good push as it opened. He left the light on so he reached over and turned it off and headed into his room. He did not take much time to get situated as he turned off the light and fell into his bed and fell dead asleep at 3:56 AM.
