Magic Knight Mako's Story
By Cass Amy Mako
A ten-year-old girl with short brown hair and black eyes is standing in front of a full-length mirror. She wore a white blouse under a lavender short sleeved jacket. Her pleated skirt was short and white. Around the cuffs of the sleeves and the bottom of the skirt were tiny purple silk roses. The front of the blouse had a large purple rose. Her purple eye shadow and white shoes matched her flowery outfit. (AN: Her shoes are just like Hikaru's, but white, and the jacket is like Hikaru's too.) "Mother will just love my new outfit!" she says with excitement. "Princesses of Fahren aren't supposed to be so independent, Makoderu," a boy who looked exactly like the girl said in his usual old-fashioned way. "Sako! Don't call me by my full name! I'm Mako! You would think identical twins would be more alike!" the girl yells at him. "I would call you by your nickname if you'd call me by my real name! I'm Yosako, not Sako! Our names do not rhyme!" the boy yells right back. Mako storms out of the room. "Hey where are you going? I'm not done with this argument!" Yosako yells after her. "Mother is expecting me," she replies. All of a sudden, Mako disappears into thin air.
Mako looks around. She finds herself in a forest. She walks forward, looking for some sort of path. "Hello? Is anyone here? I'm lost," she calls. She starts crying as she realizes that there is probably no one here. Suddenly a monster steps out in front of her. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Mako yells. A young man with brown hair that fell in front of his eyes ran up to her. "What are you doing here little girl?" he asks her. "I'm lost, and I'm not a little girl. I'm ten years old," she replies. He sighs. "Come on, I better take you back to my place and figure out where you're supposed to be," he says. He walks off and Mako follows him. They arrive at a stone house and go inside. "I'm Ascot. What's you're name?" "I am Mako Aska Sang Yung, first princess of Fahren," she replies with a smile. "Nice to meet you Ascot-san. Would you mind telling me where I might be?" "Well, for starters, you're not on Fahren. You're in the Forest of Silence in Cephiro. I suppose I'd better take you to the castle," Ascot explains. Mako gasps. "Cephiro? Oh, Hououji-san is in Cephiro! Ooh, will I get to see her?" she exclaims happily. "Hououji-san? Oh, you mean Fuu. Yes, she lives in the castle. I'm sure you'll see her. In fact, I think all the Magic Knights are at the castle," Ascot says. "Ascot-san, may I ask why there are so many creatures in this forest?" Mako asked politely. "You don't think they're monsters?" "Nope! They're so cool! If I weren't a stupid princess I'd be able to be a summoner. But Mother and Father say that people from Fahren are good at archery and that I should practice more. My brother Sako could be one if he wanted to. I hate being a girl sometimes," Mako explained. "Oh. I'm a summoner. All these creatures are my friends. The only place they can really live in peace is here in the Forest," Ascot replies. "Wow! I wish I had cool friends like that! But I'm only allowed to play with girly little Ladys from our country. They never go outside and they love to sit around in big lacey dresses talking about *boys* all the time. It's so boring! They hardly know what a tree is, and I've been climbing them since I was five! Mother won't let me get a pet. And I think Father is afraid of Mother. Ooh, I hate being a princess! You're so lucky, Ascot-san!"
Ascot and Mako arrived at the castle on one of Ascot's flying creatures. Ascot took her to Ferio. She bowed. "Hello Cephiro-san. It appears that I have been summoned to Cephiro from my home planet of Fahren. I am Mako Aska Sang Yung, first princess of Fahren. My parents are Aska and Sang Yung. I believe you know them from previous matters," Mako said. "You have been summoned here for a reason, Mako. The Legendary Magic Knights are each summoning a new Magic Knight to take their place. Fuu Hououji, a very good friend of your parents, summoned you from Fahren. We are expecting two more girls to arrive, both from Chizeta. I believe they are named Chochiku and Kahna. It's strange, we were all expecting Hikaru to summon a random person form Autozam. Anyway, I'll take you to Clef to wait for the others," Ferio explained. Mako nodded and followed him to Clef.
Some time later, the girl named Kahna arrived. She was full of energy and really excited. When the other girl, Chochiku, arrived, Kahna eagerly introduced herself and Mako. Chochiku just stared at them silently and sat down. Clef talked to them about their coming duties of being a Magic Knight, which all three of them kinda ignored, then called on Mako. "Mako, please come here," he said. She walked up to him. "Yes, Clef-san?" "I am going to give you magic and armor. You all must travel to the Spring of Eterna to get escudo and guardians. He held out his ring to Mako, and armor appeared over her clothes. It had purple escudo. Her shoes became boots and she got a glove on one hand. "Cool!" she said happily. "Do you feel the magic inside of you Mako?" Clef asked. "Uh huh. I hear myself saying Dark Heart. I can feel the magic being used," Mako replied. Kahna and Chochiku had their turns too. Kahna's armor had yellow escudo, and Chochiku's had white. Then they received rooms at the palace for the night.
In the morning, the three girls set off for the spring of Eterna. When they found it, they jumped inside. Mako passed out after a while, and awoke in a strange purple room. Yosako, her brother, appeared with a Fahren bow and arrows. "Sako, what are you doing here? This can't be right," Mako said. Yosako shot an arrow at her. She just barely made it out of the way. "Oh I get it, you're jealous. Well, I'm still mad at you! Dark Heart!" she yelled. Nothing happened. "Oh god. Without magic, I'm gonna be dead like that," she said and snapped her fingers. Yosako burst into purple and black flames. "So that's how it works!" Mako said happily. Yosako's dead body disappeared and purple escudo appeared, then vanished into her glove. A bodiless voice spoke to her. "That was not really your brother. He is alive and well. You have passed Eterna's test as well as Kahna. The other girl, however, is no longer alive. She failed the test. You may leave Eterna now." "Oh man, he's not really dead!" Mako complained as she suddenly appeared next to the spring with Kahna. "We passed!" she exclaimed. "We're gonna be real Magic Knights!"
