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 hi, long author's note! The words WERE NOT suppose to come out like that... Sorry if anyone is confused especially to Aranami-koi (who i was touched to realised re-read it to understand) Thanks for the reviews but isn't anyone interested in who Clef's daughter is? Go ahead n guess! (Hint: she is already in the story) About which guy Umi ends up with is kinda decided, but you can change the decision. Asmi is leading by 9 so it can go either way! To inuyasha(sumthin) is that a flame? I'm not threatening you or anything but I'm just soooo curious!
Okay, okay! I get the message you know. On with the story!
Finding a lost love
She (as in the lady in red) stood up and strode over to the cauldron which was bubbling with some kind of strange murky grayish froth;. She stirred it a little with a wooden spoon. Then she sniffed, like a dog on the chase. She gave a smug smile that could make anyone feel sick, if this was how she looked when she was happy, how would she look like if she isn't?
" Strength of the dark side,
the second soul of the pillar,
with thirst of revenge,
you shall do my bidding,
grant me your power!"
She chanted, in an odd yet alluring rhythmic pattern. Before long, she finished the incantation thrice. The froth in the potion stopped bubbling. The murky colour became clearer, she sighed, "I'm gonna get you, Nova my sweet little devil." followed by a loud cackle. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ (i learnt my lesson ^_^;;)
Nova froze. She couldn't move! What on Cephiro is happening? The fairy in front of her was getting inpatient, "Hurry up!" Nova managed to shoot her a death glare. Primera kept quiet and started to mutter something under her breath. Nova's ruby eyes widen, she felt so cold, her heart tightened. The crack on the mirror necklace hanging from her neck grew, somehow or another. Then she felt hot, like she was being burnt alive! With an anguished cry and her ruby orbs turning an eerie ebony black, she past through yet another wall. Looking for another victim. Primera covered her mouth. That was not Nova! No way! No matter how evil she was, she is a part of Hikaru, she would never be that evil! That person was practically giving out "evil" vibes. Primera shuddered, flapping her wings, she followed the person she used to know as Nova. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Hikaru gave a choked gasp. She leaned against the wall for support. She just felt so cold, it was so strange, she was fine a couple of minutes ago. (Read chappie 2 if this is confusing, k?) It just felt like her heart was being torn in two. Really. Her mind began to throb like someone was using a hammer to whack it from within. The feeling grew stronger and stronger. She felt dizzy and light-headed. Still she struggled to move forward, she saw a tall figure, "Lantis?" she whispered. Her heart felt elated for a second before she collapsed on the floor.
The cephirian swordsman stared at the figure lying on the floor. He carried her without saying a word, and walked into her room, placing her on the bed. He watched her, brushing a few loose strands of her hair away. She looked so peaceful. His current relationship with Hikaru was a mess, at times he wanted to never see her again yet at others he wished that he could feel her lips on his once more. He smiled just the tinniest bit (he IS Lantis!) and felt strangely content. Yet he felt alert as well, as if something was wrong. Something WAS wrong he realised with a start as his six sense told him. Something very wrong. But what? ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Larfaga hon, I'm really worried 'bout little Ascot. He's missin' as well but no one seems to be worried. Even if he's okay, I know he still likes the little missy." quipped Caldina in her southern drawl.
"Relax sweetie, he can take care of himself. About the water knight, it is after all her decision and hers only. We can't do anything if she loves Clef." replied the head guard of the castle. He held Clef in high esteem but seeing how concerned Caldina was, he reassured her, "Don't worry sweetie pie."
She sighed. Ascot was one of the most important person in her life. She worried about him endlessly. It was her responsibility. Her only one in fact. Well maybe not her only one, as she remembered a certain guy with the cutest ponytail. "I'm worried about the little missies as well. Fuu's down, Umi's missin' and Hikaru doesn't look too good as well. Those three hussies make me so mad toyin' with the boys' feelings."
Larfaga smiled to himself. That was Caldina alright. The beautiful and talented illusionist who never failed to make him happy. Nova entered the room and gave a evil smile. As she was invisible, neither noticed. She entered the head guard's body and his sapphire eyes turned black like Nova's own. Caldina continued, "Who do they think they are, coming here like queens expecting to be pampered." she turned around to face him. "You listenin' hon?" He sort of turned his head and nodded. She thought it was weird but didn't think much of it. That was a mistake. He took out a dagger that hung on his waist and raised it, ready to strike at the bubble gum pink-haired lady. Primera flew in, saw the scene and shrieked. Caldina stared at the doorway, " Could have sworn I heard somethin' " she muttered. Larfaga hastily hid the item behind his back. Primera scampered off, knowing her magic wouldn't be powerful enough, nor would Caldina believe what she said. She looked for the one person she trusted the most. Lantis.
She flew like a bullet using fairy magic to speed herself up from time to time. She even looked like a blur, she saw Lantis in Hikaru and felt a jolt of jealously. But that wasn't important now. "Nova's gone weird and somehow managed to enter Larfaga who is trying to kill Caldina, got it?" she managed to say in breakneck speed.
"What?!"
"Don't ask!"
"Huh?" exclaimed Lantis as he managed to be dragged by Primera out of the door.
"Follow me!!!" screamed Primera nearly in hysterics. Lantis obeyed and they both left. Greeted by a horrifying sight. Larfaga's dagger was millimeters away from Caldina's heart.
"What are you doin'! You...you aren't Larfaga are you!"
"That's right Caldina. Smart little lassy aren't ya."
Lantis immediately engaged him in battle while Primera tried to wake Caldina up, the illusionist seemed to be a daze as she muttered, " Larfaga?!" over and over again.
Lantis aimed at him from the left. He dodged and rolled over, discarding the dagger and drawing out his sword. The battle began. Larfaga advanced and took a swipe at Lantis's shoulder. He blocked the blow and sent one back at him. It took him by surprise and Lantis drew first blood. Larfaga's eyes seemed to have flames, flames which were blazing then. Larfaga's strikes were faster and more accurately now, becoming a much more deadly force. Lantis grew more wary, there was one reason why he was the best swordsman in Cephiro. He never under-estimates his opponents. He wasn't going to start now. He narrowly missed the blade aimed at his side. Using a swift yet effective move, he attacked and missed. Larfaga was winning. That put Lantis in mortal danger. Lantis felt a strange sort of stress that he had never known before. It was the need to win, that was where the stress was from. He felt an sudden surge of energy, using it he striked and he wasn't going to miss this time...
