Never Known
Chapter II – Back to Cephiro
"YAHHHHH!!" all three girls screamed as they fell on to something hard. Hikaru looked at the sudden scenery change. "Look it's clef's fish!" She exclaimed. "It's great to see you again" Her voice changed from cheerful to serious. "Take up the to castle, please." The fish nodded and started to swim…um…float…fly (well what does it do? O_o?) into a northwestern direction.
Umi looked around at her surroundings. "Well cephiro appears to be okay."
"Yes…but there is something wrong Umi. I just know it"
Umi looked away from her red head friend and turned to her blond friend. "Well what do you think Fuu…Fuu?" Umi looked around the fish and only saw Hikaru. "FUU! Hikaru, where's Fuu?"
"I don't know Umi, she was with us in Tokyo tower…FUU!"
"I'm right here Miss Hikaru." Said a voice from above. Umi and Hikaru looked up to see Fuu flying tight above them.
"I guess you learned a new spell. Didn't you Fuu?" Umi asked. She was relived that her friend wasn't left behind at Tokyo tower.
"Yes, apparently." Fuu softy landed on the back of the fish, but her graceful landing became uneasy. She soon fell to her knees and started gasping for air.
"FUU!" Hikaru ran to her side. "Fuu, what's wrong?"
As soon as she regained her composure she spoke. "Nothing Miss Hikaru. The spell is just very strong and it just made me a little tired that's all. I'll be fine."
"Fuu…are you sure?" Umi asked not satisfied with her answer. She knew there was something else; she just couldn't put her finger on it. 'Why won't she tell us what's wrong with her? Aren't we best friends, doesn't she know that she can trust us?' Umi thought.
"I'm positive." Fuu tried to stand, but she felt too weak. 'That spell must have taken more out of me then I thought.' She sat back down. 'I'll rest till we get to the palace.' She gave her friends a smile and they all remained silent till they saw they castle in the distance.

A Dark man sat in a chair and stared at the figure in the mirror as the thought deeply.
"Sire. What is it? You look lost in thought." A man with bleached blond hair bowed respectfully. "Is there something troubling you?" He stood and waited for an answer. His face was still and emotionless, but his Golden eyes revelled all his inner feelings. He wore dark green armour and at his side laid a marvellous carved weapon. It had emeralds posing for eyes on the bird carved into the base of the powerful sword. The man looked no older then 20. But in truth he was 27.
"Look, Iantion (E-n-shon that's how you pronounce it)" the dark man finally spoke.
Iantion looked at the mirror at the request of his master. It was the same mirror that once belonged to the high priest of Cephiro. Zagato. He missed him. Iantion, Lantis and Zagato were very close. Besides the fact that Iantion did not belong to their family they had been good friends since birth. When he was killed, Iantion grieved for his death. But he knew that he was finally with his love. After that Lantis and him never spoke again. The last conversation they all had, had been about love. Zagato said nothing the whole time, while Lantis just keep saying that the only love he had was for his family and for Cephiro. He didn't want to fall in love with a girl. He remembered laughing at the way he said the word 'girl' as if it was a sickening taste in his mouth. But Iantion wanted to fall in love. He wanted to find his soul mate. He wanted to be loved back. He was just waiting for the girl. Iantion concentrated back on the mirror. There he saw three figurers sitting on a giant fish. "Doesn't that creature belong to the master mage?" Iantion asked.
"Yes it does." The man said simply.
Iantion gave him a confused look. "They why are three girls ridding it? Surely the mage isn't offering rides?" he laughed at his own joke.
The man just smiled and spoke in a calm voice. "Those girls are the legendary Magic knights." He turned to face his companion. Iantion had not moved his eyes from the mirror. The man quickly glanced at the mirror and figured out what he was looking at. "That," he started to explain, never taking his eyes off his friend. "Is the magic knight of the wind. Fuu Hououji, I believe was he name." Still no movement from Iantion. "She is the one chosen by Mython."
"MYTHON!" Iantion tore his gaze from the mirror to the dark ma.
"Yes. He has awakened. I do not know how, but someone has called upon him…that one there." The man pointed to the girl with the red hair. "She senses it too. I can tell she has much more power then the other two. But she does not know about it." There was once again silence between the two men. "It is time we took action! You know what you must do. And I know what I must do. We both have better get to work. Come on Iantion." The dark man walked out of the room. Iantion still remained motionless. He started at the girl. Her eyes. She had the greenest eyes he had ever seen. They were so beautiful. 'So that's is the chosen one.' He thought. 'Hmmm…' Suddenly the image of the beautiful girl disappeared. Iantion turned away from the mirror and started to walk in the some direction as the Dark man.

The three girls sat patiently on the large blue fish. "Hey look guys. There's the castle!" Umi exclaimed.
Fuu reached up to push her glassed back in their original place, remembering that she no longer needed them. She took them off and laid them back in their case and into her pocket. She looked at Hikaru. Apparently she was still worried. "Do not worry Miss Hikaru. I'm sure that Clef knows what's going on. Then we'll save Cephiro together. Fuu placed a comforting hand onto her friends shoulder.
Hikaru seeing how worried she was making her friends decided to listen to Fuu. "I know Fuu, we'll do this together. Just like all those other times before."
"Right!" Umi screamed as she gave her friends a big hug. "Together" she mumbled. All three girls smiled at each other temporally forgetting about the castle, until they heard a voice.
"H…Hi." The girls turned to see none other then, Ascot.
"Ascot!" Umi yelled as she jumped off the fish and ran over to him. She gave him a warm hug. The summoner blushed a deep crimson red. "It's been a while, hasn't it?" Umi said letting go of the very red Ascot.
"A…Almost 8 weeks."
"Actually 54 days…but hey who's counting?" By this time both Umi and Ascot were blushing madly and both Hikaru and Fuu gad gotten off the fish and walking towards the red 'couple (?¿?)'
"It's good to see you once again Sir Ascot." Fuu said he polite way while Hikaru jumped on him and gave him a big hug. "Ascot!" Umi had to seriously rip Hikaru off her summoner.
"Hikaru! You have a boyfriend!!" Umi raged.
"So?" Hikaru said calmly.
Ascot not being in the middle of a fight and feeling quite awkward about it decided to speak up. "Maybe we should go see clef."
"I need to talk to clef as well. Something is going on in Cephiro or something will happen…soon."
Ascot froze at the sudden mood swing in Hikaru. 'Maybe she's spending too much time with Umi,' He thought. He tired to suppress a smile for he knew if
Umi ever found out what he just thought he would be good as dead. But he also knew that Hikaru was only this serious when it came to a battle. "I don't know anything about what's going. Everything in Cephiro is fine to me. I haven't noticed anything wrong. But I'm sure Clef does. Lately he's been too stressed about something and won't tell us what's going on. He's in the library right now. Let's go see him. I'll take you there." Hikaru nodded and the four walked down the halls of the palace.
