Author's Notes:

It was a time within a time that was not a time. It was a space within a space that was not a space. It was everything and nothing at once. Stars winked and faded out of existence.

Time flowed towards her, through her, around her and away from her. She couldn't stop it, couldn't control it the way she wanted too.

"What is this?" She asked the void.
"It would be your punishment but you already put yourself into a time loop. This is the time of rest before you return."
"Time loop. Impossible. I kanno-"
"Fail? You have."

Author's Notes:

They would talk late into the night, a fire crackling softly in the hearth while they sipped tea.

It would always be a discussion point between them; who would be the caregiver and who would be the one to dole out the punishment when they did wrong.

Edea swore that she could never mete out punishment to the children. She didn't have it in her. That changed when the Gardens started to be built and Cid was away for longer periods of time.

In order to discipline her children, she needed to distance herself. Instead of motherly, she became Matron.

Author's Notes: Seifer talks about punishment
( Gradual )

Balamb Garden came in with 90 points! Comfortable with magic - I'd say so!

This week's word prompt: #95 - Punishment

It can be given and it can be taken. It can be done violently or with cold and cruel calculation. It can done as a learning tool - a mother to a child, or it can be something much more sinister, or even fun.

Does Quistis punish her slaves in a particular fashion? Has Nida ever received punishment for something? Growing up, did Cid ever mete out the punishment or was he too softhearted for it? Did Ultimecia punish Seifer for something trivial or hold back and punish him for everything in one go with no explanation? Did General Caraway always hate having to be the one to hand out discipline and punishment to Rinoa? If Laguna could, would he ever punish Squall for something, despite him being the Commander of Balamb Garden?

However it's handed out - in anger or love - give it up in 100 words.
