A New Change in Rebirth
Sequel to RayEarth
Prologue
Written by Koizumi Tsukiyo
Disclaimer: First and last time, Rayearth does NOT belong to me. Though I fully wish I did...
Note: Yes, I'm at it again. Another story, but this time, based on the Rayearth OVA, MY take on what the Sequel should be. I can't help myself! I know I have the other story 'A Life Unlike Any Other' to finish but this one can't seem to leave my mind! Hope you enjoy this though I'm warning you, this story might suck even more. OH, just to let you know, English happens to be my THIRD language, so forgive me for the bad grammar.

Upon a deserted land of Cephiro where the sun seems to never shine, silences filled the air as the sand-filled wind blew to only remind anyone of it once beautiful existent. Ever so slowly, the soft feeling of power rose from the ground as it gently sparkles to the air in dazzling circles before a large castle appears, suffering from the earlier battle on a world they called RayEarth. A place filled with many memories they had physically left behind.
Clef was the one who stepped out to the open first, gazing at the dry land with narrowed sapphire eyes while the breeze roughens as if welcoming his arrival. The sight that greeted him was not what he wanted, but to be expected as his grip on the long staff tightens.
"Well, we're home at last." Ferio spoken in a theatrical tone, his face dull as ever while standing behind the Doushi, "Beautiful, isn't it?"
Clef looked at him from the corner of his eyes, "I don't ever recall you making such jokes, Ferio."
"I prefer doing that than to stare at nothing while thinking that there are only four of us still alive in Cephiro." The green-haired man snorted, looking away wearily. He perked when hearing soft footsteps behind him before kneeling on his knees while Clef gave a curtsied bow as their Princess walked to stand beside them.
Sorrow and grief washed over Emeraude's feature, closed hands near her chest as she watches what's left of the land, feeling tears falling down her cheeks, "I had caused this...all of this..."
"Emeraude..." Her brother's voice was heard, a tender touch wiping her tears away as gentle fingers formed before Eagle's body fully appear in front of her. His face held no emotions but Emeraude could see the sadness identical to hers in his blue-violet eyes.
"Emeraude...Eagle..." Clef interrupted them gently while they turned to him. Ferio then choose the time to stand and watched them.
Eagle looked at him evenly, "Clef..."
"Clef," Emeraude repeated in a mere whisper, taking graceful steps and lifted her hands to both on his cheeks, giving a soft smile when noticing the small flinch from the Doushi. "I owe you a deep apology for my earlier behavior...you and all to those that had served to grant my selfish wish or against it."
Clef quickly back away from her touch and immediately bow as Ferio spoke in a protested voice, "You shouldn't be apologizing, Emeraude-hime!"
"Ane-ue..." Eagle whispered silently, a hand on her bare shoulder.
"I cannot bring the life of those who had perished to Cephiro, nor can I, alone, will be able to depend on the Spirits to bring back what this world used to be," Emeraude ventured, raising her hand to his on her shoulder as she closed her eyes to block away from the upcoming tears. "To start over...can only mean a new change in life..."
Both Clef and Ferio looked at her in deep confusion but her brother is the only one who seems to understand. Lid lowered, Eagle stood closer to her, "Are you sure...?"
Emeraude opened her eyes, lifting her face and smiled through her tears, "I will not perform this alone...as a repayment for my sins."
"I'm still not getting this," Ferio said, tilting his head to the side in more confusion. "I thought we're back here to start a new life."
"Only a life that we four can live, as I said before, I cannot bring any of those that are gone to Cephiro." She said, facing him with sad eyes, "But...we can bring them back to another..."
Clef's eyes widen in understanding, "RayEarth..."
"Those three girls had taught me many things that I had not understood and there are more that we could learn through experience...For that, I will make my last wish for the people of Cephiro for a chance to have that life...a new rebirth..."
Ferio stared at her, "What would become of Clef and I?"
"You, too, will follow their fate for there is nothing to accomplished in the life you have now," Eagle replied in a monotone voice, raising a hand up sharply to silent them from their upcoming objection, "This is all we can do..."
Clef's forehead furrowed in thoughts, his long light-lavender bangs swaying over his face and can only nodded in agreement, giving his last respectful bow. Ferio looked at the Doushi, stunned, before once again, kneeling on his knees, his head bowed with no argument.
Emeraude gave a warm smile, her emerald eyes soften before turning to her brother, holding out a hand, "Eagle..."
Eyes closed under his pale-silver hair, Eagle blindly reached out and softly held her hand as a surge of great power was released, drinking the deserted land whole while everything shimmer in white before clouded into darkness as the link between Cephiro and RayEarth was forever cut...
...And the magic of Rebirth is finally born.

-hime: Princess
Ane-ue: Old term for older sister, since Eagle uses this numbers of times in the OVA.
Doushi: Clef is considered a magician or a being with powerful magic, since Alcyone called him by this.
I know this is a really short and boring prologue, but this is the best I can do. Please review your thoughts if I should continue or quit this story. Arigatou!
