Sakura-chan's back! Here's the fourth chapter. Enjoy!
Thank You to GustofWind who reviewed!
GustofWind: Hmmm…. for the chapter length, I can tell you that I had originally decided to put the prologue parts 1 and 2 as one chapter, and chapter 1 and 2 as the next. But then I remembered some people who I one knew who liked short chapters instead of longer ones, so I separated them. I'll make the chapters a bit longer for your sake though. Thanks for the constructive criticism! The Holy Knight's actions and Hana's near death experiences would be explained, though. Thanks again for reviewing!
Disclaimer: Sakura-chan owns nothing but the plot and Hana. The rest belongs to Yu Wo.

Chapter 2
"Sun, I've never knew you had a sister." Storm commented lightly. He rubbed a sore spot and winced. "I just wish it didn't take her to fall on me before I finally found out."
Everybody laughed. Hana looked sheepish and apologized for the hundredth time. "I'm really sorry Knight-Captain Storm. I didn't mean to fall on you!"
The laughter grew. Storm sighed and waved Hana's apology aside. When the laughing finally ceased, Leaf looked at Hana. "But Hana, why were you falling from the sky."
This question grabbed everyone's curiosity. They all looked intently at the little girl. She sighed. "Well, you see, I was doing a transportation spell. For the one I was using, you were supposed to imagine the place you wanted to go while you chant the incantation."
Hana sighed again. "I was imagining the Holy Temple, when I looked up and saw the sky. It was really blue and pretty, and I started thinking about how nice it would be up there. So the spell granted my wish and transported me up into the sky above the holy temple."
Hana laughed. "Believe me, I was freaking out. I fell down for five minutes before I smashed into Knight-Captain Storm. It's a good thing I learned some wind magic, or else I would have probably turned blob when I slammed into Knight-Captain Storm!"
Everyone stared at the girl sympathetically. She was probably traumatized for life.
"Hana, do you know what the Pope meant by "I will prepare for the Welcoming Ceremony"?" Judgement asked quietly. Everybody turned to Judgment. "That only happens when the Holy Knights' apprentices take their teachers place."
Everyone turned thoughtful and stared at Hana for an answer. Judgment, you're really fit for the title of the Judgment Knight! You almost figured out the thing Hana haven't told us yet. Sun thought while still maintaining his smile.
Hana mused quietly. Sun had really described Judgement well in his letters. To be onto her just because of a small mutter from the Pope.
"Hmmm…how should I put this?" Hana sighed. "Have you guys heard of the Church of the God of Light's Princess of Light?" Hana began quietly.
"The Princess of Light" Cloud Knight started to say, probably quoting from a book "is not really a Princess. It is only a position in the Holy Temple. A rather high position, though. It is a position as high as the Sun Knight's and the Pope's. The Princess of Light has an expected personality, too. She is to be kind and generous, like the Sun Knight. She is also supposed to be a master of everything. From using a sword to fire magic to necromancy, she can do it all."
Blaze Knight nodded. "But didn't the last Princess of Light leave to train her apprentice with a promise about how the Church of the God of Light won't ever see her again and how she'll send her apprentice as the next Princess?" Everyone nodded. They heard of that, too. "So why did you bring up the Princess of Light…" Blaze Knight trailed off.
Everybody froze. They slowly turned toward Hana and stared at her. She looked up, a smile on her face. Standing up, she walked in front of the Twelve Holy Knights and curtsied gracefully. "It's nice to meet you, the Twelve Holy Knights. My name is Hana Creus, and I am the new Princess of Light." She looked at everybody and winked. "Thank you so much for taking care of my brother. I know he's a huge burden and a big handful, but you guys did an amazing job!"
"…"
Hey! Who are you calling a handful!
