The Circle

Author's Note: I hope this chapter answers a couple of questions. I've added another series into the mix…I should stop. But I couldn't help myself.

The Precious Mirror: The Circle

By ReiAkari

"In the beginning of our world, a great war took place. Four pillar gods were summoned to battle the destruction god. The destruction god was a peaceful god, but when angered, he could destroy dimensions with only a thought. There was only one thing to do. Gather the four pillar gods to seal the destruction god before the dimension would be destroyed. Somehow a being intervened, and the pillar gods failed. When a world is destroyed a new world is born. Thus the circle continues. During the creation of our world, a world that was created by a dimension wrongfully ended, a god-like being created a powerful curse, which has plagued us since the beginning of time. A goddess disapproved her lover's actions and attempted to prevent him from increasing his power and spreading his curse by sealing his powers into a mirror. Fearing that he would obtain the mirror she created a spell and separated the mirror into four talismans, which she disguised as four books. Knowing that her lover would eventually be successful in gathering the talismans, she created a spell that would, when completed, would undo all that her reckless lover had created. Thus the circle continues."

"Am I the only one here who has no clue what that means?" Duo sighed resignedly.

Quatre lowered the book to his lap. "I'll admit this seems confusing, but the clues are in this book. We just need to figure out what they are. I'm sure that this is one of the talismans that it is talking about."

"Well, it doesn't look much like anything special." Wufei huffed. "Does it even say where we are?"

"The girl with the power of the god Seiryu shall gather five young warriors. Transported through time, the warriors will be tested… The truth will be revealed to those who prove themselves worthy."

"Or in other words the books messing with us." Duo shouted loudly.

"Transported through time…I was transported to the future. That's how I met you." Yui stood and looked around her. "Considering the lack of buildings and modern technologies, I'm guessing that we are probably in the past."

"Some say time is like a circle." Heero stated as he looked at the others. "Thus the circle continues."

Yui looked up at the blue sky above her. 'The girl with the power of the god Seiryu' she thought to herself. 'Am I able to…' she stood and turned her back to the five boys huddled over the book.

"It says that the girl with the power of the god Suzaku was transported through dimensions. That might be Yui's friend." She faintly heard Quatre say. 'Good. I know where Miaka is.' She began to concentrate. Focusing on Seiryu, she began to feel his power pass through her.

Suddenly, Quatre dropped to the ground clutching his chest. "It's so cold…"

"Quatre! What's wrong?" Trowa asked as a symbol appeared on the blond boy's forehead.

"It's like before!" Duo gasped taking a step away from his fallen friend.

"Kai-jin!" Yui shouted. She felt as though a jolt of electricity had been released from her body.

"Priestess…" Quatre gasped as he stood.

"Hey, are you ok?"

"You have summoned me."

Yui whirled around to look at Quatre. "You…"

"I am not granted the power of the Universe of the Four Gods. I am limited to speaking through this one. His heart is pure. Trust him. Find the accursed soul, the Guardian of the North. The first test is near priestess, be careful…" Quatre gasped and dropped to the ground. "What happened to me?"

"We must find the Guardian of the North." Heero said as he helped Quatre stand. "And if we can, we must find a way to increase this Seiryu's power."

The others looked at Heero for a second. Then assuming that Heero had accepted his mission, the others silently followed suit.

End of Chapter 4

Author's note: It's a short chapter, but it's for taking so long writing the last chapter. ^_^
