Hey, this is my newest story! Rayearth 3!I got all my facts strait and I'm not going to kill anyones fav. character so its great for everybody!!! Yeah!!! I was sick of writing short fluff, so here it is!! Please review,- cerulean ^_~

It had been 14 years since Hikaru was discovered and made pillar and they had been magic knights. Soon after, Hikaru, Fuu, and Umi moved into Cephiro, they knew it was the right choice; this was there true home now, and forever. At the age of 18, Hikaru and Lantis had a beautiful baby girl and named her kira. A year after Fuu and Ferio had a baby girl too, and named her Relena, and soon just 2 months later Umi and Ascot had a baby boy, who they named Ryu.

Everything was wonderful at the castle; or so they thought, but they had a problem. The day before Kira was born, Cephiro grew dark, the air was stale, the sea did not shimmer, and nothing was moving. The darkness built up and created huge dark clouds. Soon out of the clouds came a lady, she was tall and looked frail, but looked horribly evil. She had long purple hair and started to advance towards the castle. Clef came out side4 and positioned himself to perform a protection spell but she stopped, and stood over the castle and said:

"When all is at peace, I will be working in the shadows. My power will grow, and I will take over Cephiro. The Neo knights will not be able to stop me and I will turn this sad planet into a barren waste land."

She diapered back into the clouds and everything went back to normal, but everybody in the royal castle was afraid, because they knew who the Neo knights would soon be.

The knights were now 28 and living a peaceful life in the castle, they had started to forget the horrible witch and were starting to live normal and happy lives, there children where 10, 9 and 9. Calidena and Lafaraga had had a child to and named him Asuka, he was 10 as well. All four of the children where the best of friends and they loved playing and exploring inside and outside of castle.

Most of the time the children where trying to make and invent things as they were today. They had found a huge tree that they wanted to build a tree house in. They had been planning it for months, drawing pictures of how it would look and thinking of secret clubs that they could have. But they had never of made anything of wood before, or anything in a tree, and especially not this big, so they were having a few problems….

"Clef how come you won't use your magic? It would be much faster!" complained Ryu looking at all the nails and pieces of wood on the floor that was suppose to be their new tree house.

"Ryu, if you guys really want this tree house then you should be happy to make it and you should be happy that I said I would…"

Clef cut off in mid-sentence.

 Hikaru was running towards them as fast as she could, when she got closer they could see the terror in her face.

"Every one we must get back to the castle now! That horrible lad.."

She cut off and looked at the children, no they couldn't know yet, well not now at least she knew Clef knew so… " Um…something horrible had happened! Now!" she panted

Clef knew what must of happened- that lady must of came back, and soon new terror would unfold…. Clef stepped back and summoned his griffin, it rose higher and bigger till it was full size. It stood for a second and beet it's wings, in motion to say " Thank you for letting me out."

It lowered its head as a sign for them to get on. Once they were on Clef instructed it to fly as quickly as it could to the castle. It slightly nodded and rose into the sky.

Clef looked over at Hikaru and was about to ask what had happened exactly but noticed it wasn't the right time, he would wait till they got back to the castle. The look of terror on her face scared him. He could see shivers run up and down her body as she tried to calmly tell the children it was alright. They just needed to get back to the castle were it was safe.

Soon the enormous castle came into view and Clef sighed. It looked so calm and peaceful with the setting sun behind it.

Then he noticed it the darkness- the air was stale, the ocean did not shimmer, and nothing was moving. It was like that day so long ago; the first time that horrible lady came. It was quiet, terrifying quiet. He looked over at Hikaru again; he could tell she knew it to. Her eyes were dark, and she seemed to be looking at everything all at once. The children could tell as well, she was tensing at the slightest touch and seemed to be in a trance.

Finally they arrived safely at the castle entrance and Clefs griffin alighted on the ground and folded back its enormous wings. It whimpered as Clef summoned it back into his hand gem, knowing it would be awhile till it came back out again.

Clef looked back at Hikaru and she was motioning the children into the castle, following them closely behind. He quickly followed them into the castle. It seemed dark and lifeless. They quickly, one behind the other followed Hikaru thought the castle, she was running now. Clef wanted her to stop, they where safe now that they were in the castle and she was worrying the children.

The children where looking around nervously now, almost like they were going to be attacked that very moment. They were right- they were going to be attacked, not at that moment, but soon, very soon.

How did ya like it?! Isn't it so coolieo?! Even if you think it sucked, please review and tell me how to make it better! Tanky!
