After a year they managed to get back to Cephiro. Love, hurt and
betrayal. They realised that their loves had other girls. It's an all out
fight to win them back or have them only as their memories. F/F U/A/C H/L
Amber: Hi ppl! Lemme address the problem here, once again we come to the sensitive topic of Clemi/ Asmi. Personally I like Clemi better...*don't kill me!* but i had this voting thingy before and I'm not gonna go back on my words. So any suggestions?!
I sorta came up with one, two diff endings, how about it? Uhh.....nvm... ^_^"
Angel.w1ng: My school is about to end soon (thus all the exams!)coz my country has a pretty weird timing, *shrugs* i have no summer break, for me the whole yr. is summer (no snow, leaves falling, flowers blooming kinda thing).
Aranami-koi: I reviewed ur story! It was pretty interesting! Honest! Although I have no idea who's is Heero Yuy (is that right?) and Dark Hells Warrior. If I find someone who watches Gundam Wing I definitely get them to show support. (Anyone interested?)
Mischief Monkey: I'm writin!! Thanks for ur support, it really makes my day.

hyper*italian*gurl: I hear u! I love Umi/Clef too!
Finding a lost love
Her blond ponytail swished behind her tall slim figure as she paced anxiously towards the throne room otherwise known as the crown room. Only those with strong magic may enter and only those with stronger wills may see the crown of the pillar. "A living magic circlet..." Clef's voice echoed in her head. She was taking a huge risk, she knew that but she was willing to risk it all for him... only him. It was true, she had loved him ever since she had set eyes on him. Of course she knew exactly how he had felt. She knew him as a friend, he thought of her as a friend. A good friend at most. It would never turn out the way she wanted. She knew, the moment she saw him gaze at the water knight. So much for fairy tale endings, here she was giving up her life for someone who didn't even know her true feelings.
~~~~~~~~ Flashback ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "I know both of you love Clef. I used to love him too but now in a different way. Don't get jealous or tell Clef okay? I am only acting to get Ascot back." spoke Umi quickly and softly. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The water knight's exact words, how ironic that it was she that made that statement yet she failed to keep her promise. Wasn't one guy enough, look at Ascot, he was utterly devoted to her already. Presea breathed deeply, it was true that she was jealous. Just what did Umi have that she didn't? She wasn't suppose to feel that way! What was wrong with her? She stopped, the sides of her cheeks felt wet. She managed to smile weakly. She was finally crying, beneath that tough exterior was an fragile heart that needed to be loved. She had even moved to the Forest of Silence because she couldn't being so near him an not telling him about how she truly felt. She almost brought that secret to the grave with her,when she had another chance to confess she just couldn't do it. Not when she saw him sneaking small glances at that blue hair maiden, to give a sigh of being troubled when she knew exactly what it was about. She didn't want to be one of his burdens, or to see him during tense and awkward moments. She was contented being near him.
But somehow everything was changing. So was she. The warrior in her came out. She craved attention, she desired passion. Somehow she felt more and more hollow within, like the life in her was ebbing away, she was giving up without a fight. There wass't much left for her to live for, the only thing that she would regret was Hikaru, she didn't want her friend to be sad about her death. After all she had already finished the armour she was working on for them. She gave a bitter laugh and entered the crown room. The water opened up and gave her a clear way through. The crown glowed and she couldn't see what it looked liked. However it had a pleasant voice, neither male nor female it was so strange...
"Weapon smith of Cephiro, what does thy heart desire?"
"To cure the Master Mage of Cephiro."
"Thy knows thy shall not survive this ordeal." It was more of a statement than a question.
"I'm prepared."
"Thy has proven onto me the strength of thine heart which proves to be no less strong than that of thy pillar of Cephiro. I shall grant thine heart's request. Does thy have any last wishes?"
She hesitated, there was just one thing she would like to do. "I would like to speak to ...... Clef." She finished finally addressing him by his name. Who bothers about etiquette when one was so close to death.
"Thy wish shall be granted."
"Thank you...", she whispered. Then she found herself behind a tree where Clef was leaning on, troubled. She stared at herself, she was glowing with a mysterious white light. Like an angel. At least she didn't appear in rags, as she silently thanked the crown of Cephiro. Then she stared at her feet, she was also floating. Great. She IS an angel. She changed her mind about thanking the crown.
"Hey Clef." She whispered gently into his ears.
He blinked looking confused, he looked really cute like that, pity she wouldn't be able to see that anymore. She felt a pang in her heart. She knew it was worth it. He meant everything to her.
She wished he could see her, just once, before she had to leave, forever. Suddenly he could. "Presea! You're floating and glowing! "
She bit her lip, didn't he think she knew that? A couple of tears threatened to drop out of the corner of her eyes. "Clef, I ...I love you." she confessed.
Clef finally understood what was going on, "Presea tell me you didn't, you never went to the crown room, tell me!"
"Look at your finger Clef," He did and found his magic ring missing. She held up her hand , it sat on her fourth finger, where she would have worn her engagement ring if she had one.
"No, no, no!" he whispered, stunned.
"Clef didn't you hear me? I love you. Ever since I saw you, every time you confided in me, everything you do affect how I feel. When you're happy so am I, when you're sad, I cry. I loved you the moment I saw you gazing into my eyes, I have never regretted ever since.
Love is an amazing thing Clef. Cherish it. Don't bottle it up like me and only tell the truth at the very end. Sometimes it's just to late! I didn't do this for nothing. I want you to be happy. I want you to live your life the way you want to. Stop worrying about Cephiro's future, start worrying about your own future.
Everything I have ever done was for you, like I know you'll do the same for Umi. It hurts, it hurts a lot that you love Umi and not me, but that IS love. Although it meant crying to sleep, dreading to wake up only to see your concern for her, I did it. It wasn't easy, I'm so tired...... I want to go to sleep. Death doesn't sound so bad anymore. Not when life has no meaning for me, Clef.
I'm living a lie. Please do not worry about me. I don't want to be your burden, that's the last thing I want. I hope that when I'm up there I get to be your guardian angel. Take care of Sierra for me, Clef. She loves you too. If you ever let her do the thing I've just done, you are looking for some serious trouble.
I'll miss you Clef, I hope I don't see anyone up there in a very long time. Good-bye , my old friend." with that she started to vanish and the ring dropped the floor with a 'clink'. Before she left, she manage to reach out to touch his face for the very last time. He held her hand, it wasn't there. She smiled almost sadly. Then she was gone.
Clef knew it wasn't a dream. That was real. Presea had died again. For him, she sacrificed her life for him. "I love you Clef."... he could remember her holding up her hand wearing the ring like it was an engagement ring. He would miss her forever, "Sayonara my old friend." He then placed the ring back on his finger, his fourth finger, he would never take it off again, it was his only last memoir of Presea. The girl whose love was never returned.
Closing his eyes, he returned to the real world. He heard Caldina mutter, "Where's is Presea? Shouldn't she be here?" as she entered the room. She was about to change the towel on his head when he sat up. "Heya Guru, ya okay?"
"Yes. Now I need to see Sierra, would you please bring her here?"
"Sure thing Mage Clef." answered the illusionist, puzzled.
"Thanks." he replied with a small smile. There was another problem he had to settle as well. Umi...
Soon however he felt himself worry more about how to break the news to Sierra. He paused, "Take care of Sierra for me, Clef.". That was one of her last wishes. He braced himself for any kind of outburst when he saw a familiar figure entering.
"Caldina can you excuse us for a moment?"
"Yea okay," answered the dancer feeling even more confused.
Sierra looked into the depths of his lavender eyes, somehow she knew something had befallen her sister. It wasn't a good thing that had happened though.
"I have to tell you something Sierra. Presea is dead."
"How? Why, is she dead?" , demanded Sierra her eyes wide with disbelief.
"She dead because... because of me. I killed her!" he said with emotion. It was true, he had killed her...
"NO! Stop it Clef, tell me what happened!" she said, her voice cracking, her eyes watery.
Clef's tiny frame seem to shake slightly as he explained what had happened. Sierra's tears now flowed freely. She understood, she knew that it wasn't Clef's fault. He didn't want this to happen as much as she did. By the time he was done, he was crying as well. Sierra walked over to him and hugged him combing his silky hair with her fingers. "Shh. Presea doesn't want you to be upset now, does she? She didn't want to be your burden. Please Guru, my sister had nothing left to live for, she died the way she wanted, saving the one she loved. I know you'll miss her, I'll too, but I'm sure she doesn't want you to spend the rest of your life moping around. Please stop crying Clef.", she begged.
"Sierra...", he replied gazing at her. Both sisters were truly amazing people.
She placed a finger on his lips and brushed away one of his stray strands of hair. "Not a word. You are still weak, you need your rest. Don't worry about me, I'll be fine. Just dandy." she gave a weak smile which didn't reach her eyes. Then she gave him a small peck on his lips, it felt like a petal falling on his lips, a gentle caress.
She blushed and added, " Now that I finally got a chance to do that, I'm grateful that you didn't reject me. What'll happen to Presea's body?"
"It will be hidden by the crown itself. What she did was an noble thing, so her body will be preserved as she is, for eternity, like she was sleeping for a very long time."
"That's good then. You know what Clef?", she asked.
"What is it?"
"Go get Umi back!" He smiled. She smiled. She left him alone to his thoughts. He brightened up slightly, then went about the task of finding Umi.
The chizetian dancer was worried about them so she eavesdropped a little. She saw something she wasn't suppose to see, Sierra kissing Clef. What about Umi then?
A/N: This is my opinion on how Presea felt towards Clef, Sierra too. Sorry she had to die, that's why I had her resurrected. Sorry I got kind of off track, but the next chappie would be serious stuff. No more fooling around for me.
