The Forgotten Magic: Chapter Three

The Story Unfolds

Sakura woke up with the sun just rising. She yawned, glad that it was Saturday. Kero yawned and flew over to Sakura's desk. "Sakura, anymore dreams last night?"

"Nope, I slept just fine the rest of the night."

"That must mean that what ever was trying to contact you in your dream was cut off by something elsetell me about the dream again"

"I was a dark figure who kept wanting help, it told me that spring needed autumn's help, then it faded."

"Spring needs autumn's help?"

"What does it mean Kero?"

Touya rushed into Sakura's room; "I knew it! That stuffed animal can talk!"

Kero froze into place, "Um, Touya, I don't know what you're talking aboutin fact I was just trying out some animal voices"

"Yeah right Sakura, I heard it, I even saw it though a crack in your door! That bear can talk and I'll prove it!"

Touya picked up Kero and threw him up against the wall, "Come on stuffed animal! Talk!"

Kero growled, "QUIT IT! WHO YOU CALLING A STUFFED ANIMAL ANYWAYS?! Oops"

Sakura smacked her hand against her forehead, "Kero!"

Kero, "Well it's about time someone else knew, I'm sick and tired of trying to act like a stuffed animal!"

Touya looked puzzled, "You'd better start explaining from the beginning Sakura"

Sakura sighed and told him the whole story, "and now Kero and I are trying to figure out who is trying to contact me, why spring needs autumn's help, and what Marigold has to do with magic"

Touya's eyes flashed with recognition, "what did you say?"

"I said, we're trying to figure out what Marigold has-"

"No, before that."

"Oh, spring needs autumn's help?"

Touya started to pace back and forth, "Why would she need my help?"

"Excuse me?"

Touya glanced at Sakura, "Oh, that's right you don't know."

Kero felt shocked, "What don't we know?"

"About the Season Power"

"Season Power?"

"My point."

"Oh," Kero winced, "Carry on"

Touya sighed and begun his story, "A long time ago, three friends and I came across four medallions in a cave. Each one was on a piece of leather and had a different emblem on it. There was a flower, a sun, a leaf, and a snowflake. We each picked up a different one and they started to glow as we held them in our hands, the necklaces feltmagical. We named ourselves by which pendant we had picked. Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter, and then named our found power, Season Power-"

Kero's eyes perked up, "I get it! Spring, the person, needs your help! But then why did Sakura get the message?"

Touya's eyes narrowed, "Can I finish my story?"

Kero slumped, "I won't interrupt anymore"

"Thank you. Anyway, we decided it would be almost like a club or group, so we promised that each of us would wear our pendants forever until our deaths. Soon after this, we discovered the magical powers our pendants contained. Spring could make things grow and could create rain. Summer had the power of the sun and could heat things up in a flash with firepower. Winter could freeze things just as fast as Summer could heat them up and he also was wiser than all of us put together, and I have the power to move things with my mind and I can produce mirages.'

'Not only all this, but we all had the power to enter other people's dreams. We learned soon that if our pendant is removed from us we are powerless except for dream power, but that is limited, we can't speak, and we daily black-outs. Everyone moved away but me. The only other detail I can think of is the colors"

Sakura thought for a moment, "Colors? I remember seeing slight color"

Touya frowned, "My story isn't near being done, but let me tell you our colors, because that is how you can tell who's magic you're experiencing. Spring is green, Summer yellow, Autumn red, and Winter is white. However, our powers were put to the test, we fought all our early years against Daeria, we also had to collect the seven stars of Leirne. The seven stars of Leirne are legendary, and known for their power. Leirne, their creator scattered them because he was scared that Daeria would get them and destroy Clow Reed's magic. As we made progress in our journey, one by one everyone moved away. Daeria tried to stop us; she wanted all the Season Power to herself, so she tried to get our pendants from us so she could collect the stars. However, we could avoid her by staying away from her pale blue light that shines through her."

Kero thought for a moment, then said, "But then what happened to the stars?"

Touya's face showed nothing, "Spring kept them for us in her greenhouse"

"If Spring needs help then, the Stars could be in danger as well."

"All the more reason to hurry and find her."

Sakura nodded her head, that made sense, "So I'm not the only one in the family with a magical secret,"

Touya shook his head, "Nope, but we need to keep this between us Squirt."

Sakura grinned, "You keep my secret and I'll keep yours."
