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

Dreamer_gal: Cool down, Alria is Alcyone's sister and the badie in this story. Nova? look below! Finding a lost love
Alria's gaze shifted from the cauldron to the figure lying in a heap next to her.
"You are so useless! I overestimated your strength Nova! Being good has weakened you...No matter, Clef is already going through some of the things I had to go through in the past! I don't think he enjoy it much though..." Then evil laughter echoed throughout the room.
Nova raised her head slightly, it took a massive amount of effort, speaking seemed to drain her strength, still she managed to mutter a few words.
"You'll...never....win..." she panted, breathless.
"Oh really, look at your darling Hikaru now, helpless and all alone...... now it's time to have some fun!" she retorted letting out a girlish giggle which didn't fit with her personality.
Nova silently fumed, how dare she threaten Hikaru! She knew that Hikaru would never return her feelings, but so long she was happy, she would be too. Using pure will power she managed to send a message to the only one who could protect Hikaru now. Lantis.
"Save Hikaru. In danger. Save...save...Hi-" Lantis could have sworn he heard someone talking in his mind, he heard the message pretty clearly though. He still felt slightly confused but his instinct told him that it wasn't a hoax, and his instinct hasn't failed him yet. Quickening his pace he entered his room and saw Hikaru floating above the bed, what on earth? He ran out to look for some answers from Master Mage Clef and crashed with someone going as fast as he was.
"Ferio?"
"Lantis?" both questioned at the same moment, then neither answered as they both felt that there was a more pressing situation at hand. They crashed into Clef's study at the same moment.
"Guru Clef! Where are you!"
"Hikaru's floating off the bed!"
"Fuu's levitating!"
Caldina appeared out of nowhere and Lantis let out a small sigh of relief, at least she was okay.
"Where's Clef?" They asked in unison with similar urgent tones.
"Hold ya' horses misters, Clef's out and he can't help ya' all righ? All the noise ya' makin' is drivin' me bananas, Fuu's levitatin' and Hikaru's floatin' lemme go see what I can do for the little missies!" she replied in a slightly strained voice. She, Presea, Sierra have been taking turns to look after the little guy. He had a high fever and it wouldn't come down. All the racket Lantis and Ferio were making put her in an even worse mood.
She went to Ferio's room first as it was closer. Fuu was levitating a couple of inches off the bed and surrounded by green and white light entwining in one. Caldina shook her head, "I don't know what was that but if Fuu's fine, she's fine!" Ferio's eyes blazed, "What do you mean if she's fine, she's fine!! She has been lying there motionless for three days suddenly she floats with all those things surrounding her and that's FINE?" Then he stopped, Fuu wasn't floating any more, she was slowly floating down to the bed but the lights were still there, he stood there stunned.
Caldina moved on to see Hikaru, followed closely by Lantis. Hikaru was also floating surrounded by red and golden lights which covered her entire body. She looked peaceful though, like she was just sleeping. Shaking her head she gave Lantis a look of plain confusion. Lantis wasn't going to explode on Caldina like Ferio did, he loved Hikaru as much as Ferio loved Fuu, he was just more mature in his character. The dancer left but couldn't help taking one last lingering look at him. She just couldn't find the right word to describe it.
Somewhere, a similar water knight floated in a midst of blue and silver lights watched by an anxious summoner.
Meanwhile in Ferio's room Fuu was being fed the antidote, Lady Aska , Sanyun and Ferio stared anxiously for some results.
Fuu couldn't see Galelyn anymore, she also didn't feel sore all over, she felt like she was lying on something soft. If she didn't know better she would have thought it was a bed, but it couldn't be... could it? Her vision was still kind of foggy like there was a layer of mist covering her eyes. Slowly the images grew clearer, the first thing she noticed was amber eyes. They had lost a little of the twinkling quality, a touch of defiance, an considerable amount of passion . Passion for love, for life!
Ferio heartbeat seemed to increase rapidly as he saw her eyelids fluttering, finally he would be able to see Fuu again! What was he saying? He was seeing her all this while, he meant seeing her as Fuu, not some statue. The joy he felt couldn't be describe, it was like leaving hell for heaven, maybe even more than that. It felt like he was surrounded by this aura of happiness that was indestructible and made him felt like he was on the top of the world.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sanyun managed to drag Lady Aska out with him.
"Let's leave them alone Lady Aska..."
"Aw Sanyun, if it hurts you to see Fuu with Ferio, well I'm here for you."
"Thank you Lady-"
"No need for Lady, from now you can call me Aska."
"Thanks Lad- no, Aska."
"That's the way Sanyun! Come on, bet you I can beat you to the gardens!" Without waiting for a reply she took off, leaving Sanyun behind her.
With a small smile he whispered gratefully to no one in particular, "Thank you... Lady Aska...thank you. For everything."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Fuu stared in amazement at the figure that stood in front of her, like her Prince in shining armour. Once she had managed to tear her eyes away from his, she couldn't help but notice how much more haggard he looked, weary in a sense. He even had a streak of white hair, she felt her heart break again. He had became like this because of ...her. She did this to him! How could she? She tried to sit up in the massive bed but she did not have enough strength to do so.
Ferio looked into her eyes, was she crying? He wanted to stop those tears at any cost, he didn't want his precious Fuu to be sad ever again. She struggled to get up, he was at her side in a blink. Helping her to sit upright.
"Oh Ferio... I did this to you, you shouldn't have ..." choked Fuu engulfed in sobs.
He embraced her tightly, almost in a death grip, "Don't blame yourself! The last thing I want is to make you sad yet it seems all your tears are because of me!" replied Ferio passionately, gently removing the tears from her eyes.
"But... I...I..." she protested her head lying on his firm shoulders.
"I love you and I want you to know that more than anything!" said Ferio pushing her slightly off so that he could speak facing her eyes.
"I love you too." she whispered, dabbing her tears away.
Amber and emerald locked and their lips met. In a passionate kiss that sent tingles down their bodies. It showed how they felt, their fear for each other's safety, how they would lay down their life for the other. The intense love they had for each other. The kiss continued as if it would never end, tender and gentle yet showing how much they desire, need each other's presence. They would never live without each other. It felt like lights were radiating around them at that very magical moment, making it more memorable than it already was. Lights of love that is.
The spell broke, Fuu stared deeply into his eyes, slowly the streak of white hair turned back into a shade of green. She stared at him in wonder, had she done that? Somehow a little voice deep inside her head seem to say yes, she had developed the skills necessary to defend Cephiro with. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Clef turned in his sleep, he wasn't getting any rest, he had nightmare after nightmares, all which involved seeing the people he cared about dying in various gruesome ways. He nearly went insane at the thought of Umi being tortured to death. It was too painful even to think about it.
Somehow all the things has to do with Alria, he was sure, he didn't know how but he was sure! True, he had a fling with her once and she had vanished ever since but he knew she hated him. He had to do it. Not that he enjoyed it much, it wasn't even qualified to be called a one night stand. But he knew, she loved Princess Emaurade and he couldn't risk that, yet he didn't know what else to do. 'But you still couldn't stop Zagato and Emaurade!' A voice mocked him. He wasn't invincible, he knew that, but it seemed to be his fault! He could have stopped it and no one would have to die, the magic knights wouldn't have to carry so much guilt.
A familiar face floated clearer than all the rest. "Umi..." he sighed. Then a light seem to glow in front of him, an shining orb in the midst of all his darkness. He reached out to touch it and found his fingertips having a strange kind of sensation, like something warm and wonderful spreading through his body.
Blinking in surprise, he tried to figure out where he was. A willowy figure stirred in the far-off distance. Squinting to get a better look he exclaimed in surprise, "Umi!" the weight in his heart finally lifting. She turned to face him, "Clef!" she replied with a smile.
"Where have you been? You have no idea how worried Fuu and Hikaru are!"
"I don't know where am I, Clef this is a DREAM. What did you mean by Hikaru and Fuu was worried about me, how about you?"
"I...uhh...I..."
"Fine! Don't answer then!" snapped Umi with hurt written over her face.
"Of course I was worr-", started a blushing Clef, who was interrupted by Umi.
"I knew it! How did you get in my dream anyway? "
"I have no clue, look Umi there's something I need to tell you."
"Okay, what is it Clef?" asked Umi, with curiosity.
"I...I..lo- Umi? Where are you? UMI!" called Clef as Umi vanished, Alria smiled, how she enjoyed toying with him like this.
"She's gone Clef! Gone! Like my Princess! Gone forever!" sneered Alria.
He could not believe it, his worst fear coming to life, "NOOOOOO!" She couldn't be gone... he absolutely refused to believe it.
Presea stared at the little bundle of blankets moving, Master Mage Clef was getting worse, at this rate, she stopped. She would never allow him to die, not a chance. She knew a way to save him and right now it seemed like it was his only chance, removing his magic ring, she crept into the direction...of the throne room.
