Authors note: The curse of writers block...and I've had no time to write. Anyway, I'm out of school for two weeks, so I'll try to catch up on my fics. Sorry for the delay. By the way, the Magic Knight Rayearth characters may be a little out of character, but I've never seen the show, so I'm basing them off of internet reserch and some Animerica articles. Bear with me okay?


Seven years after the pure-blood purge, the city of Mixxa was still flourishing, thanks to the help of a new government. The Emperor was named Taichi, shortened to Tai. He was very proud, and somewhat headstrong. His advisor, a short little man was called Izzy, his given name was Koushiro. They now ruled, but they also had a fear...

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN FIVE SCOUTS DEAD?!" Tai screeched, glaring at the messanger before him. "Yes sir..all dead. Shot through with one arrow each. They all looked like this." She held out a long arrow, made from a hard paste of sand. The tip was thin and fine, and the end had thin blue fletching on it, the feathers from a rare bird. Tai took the arrow, studied it, and handed it to his advisor, Izzy. The girl shivered in the hall, waiting for Tai's answer. "Go, get out of my sight Lita." Lita bowed slightly, and sped out of the hall. Izzy snapped the arrow in two, angerly dropping the pieces to the ground. "Do you think it's those bandits again?" Asked Tai, watching Izzy's angry actions. "No, sir, I think it's something else..." Izzy stuttered, nervous under Tai's gaze. "I think there is a rebellion." Tai said, looking out the large window beside him. "We shall have to find it."


A red haired girl loped across the wide deserts. She ran with the stride of one who knew the desert, who knew the terrain. She stopped at a rocky outcropping, not far from the Windern mountains. She stood silently for a while, as if waiting for something. Then she took off again, aiming for a tiny path through the mountians. She slid through, and arrived in a tiny valley, filled with tents of a permenent camp. Another girl ran up to meet her. "Anything happening Hikaru?" The girl who had came to her said, eyes shining with intrest. Hikaru shook her head no. "Not even a cry from Mixxa. Umi, I'm beginning to thik they killed everyone in the purge, not just the pure-bloods. Umi turned and walked towards the camp, the sun glittering off her slanted blue eyes. Hikaru's red eyes absorbed the sun, reflecting very little. Umi arrived at another tent and tapped on the flap. A brown haired boy walked out, and looked at the girls warily. "The general is waiting." He said, and walked off to his own tent. Hikaru looked toward Shigeru, snorted, and stepped in, Umi following.
The tent was large, as tents go, but did not offer much space for the girls. A great striped snow wolf slept in the corner, controlled by a mysterious friendship the girls could not figure out. Next to him sat the general, a hand on the wolf's head. he was tall and lanky, with blond hair like the sun. His skin was tanned from many hunts and scouting parties. But no matter how the sun touched him, his eyes would always remain blue, cold and hard as ice. He rose, watching Hikaru. "I have a report, sir." She said, keeping her eyes off the wolf in the corner. "No one's made a commotion in Mixxa. It's like the scouts never existed." The general snorted, looking amused. "It's just like him..keeps his people ignorant." He stretched and stroked the wolf, waking him. "Let's have some fun, shall we Garuru? We need some extra food anyway." Hikaru, seeing that her audience had ended, ducked out, but Umi stepped up to him, putting a hand on his shoulder.
"Yamato..Will you answer my question?" He turned, coldly slipping away from her touch. "Umi, I have no time for your love! I told you that!" he hissed, angerly walking out of the tent. Umi watched him, her heart broken anew, as was each time he gave that answer. "I will get a real answer out of him.." She vowed, watching Yamato, the lone wolf, lead Garuru out for a raid.
