………………………………........................................................................................
Morning rays creped up into the room of Ferio, making its way to engulf the room with its warm presents. It had felt as if someone was tickling him wanting him to be finally awoken. His forest green eyes open to only adjust to the light. He looked around to take notice of where he was. Of course, how stupid of him, he had fell asleep on the window seal, and in his royal attire also. He had taken notice of this and sat up with ease, now closing the windows and drawing the sheers. Still a little drowsy, he had wander into his washroom. The cold water upon his face felt refreshing and cooling. He heard an opening of some sort, as he walk back into his room once more. The sheers once again in a simply dance with the wind as last night. Droplets of water running down his face as he stared on. Once again the invisible hands caressed his face.
"Do not despair young prince……." Ferio's eyes shoot wide, looking around to find the owner of the soft and yet gentle voice. Looking frantically he could not find anything, yet something caught his eye. Striking, gentle, emerald eyes pierced through him as if his soul was emerging from his body. Ferio stood, afraid of moving, so the beauty in front of him would not flee. She was breath taking, her golden curls flowed just as the wind dance with the sheers of his window. Her white elegant dressings were loose as it was held up by a small yet detailed chest plate with a beautiful gem placed into the middle of it. Her bare shoulders gleamed as the sunlight dance upon them. For the first time in his life he was speechless. His golden yellow eyes locked onto hers. She gently walked towards him as her garments cascaded onto his marble floor. Her hand reached to softly touch his face. Still locked into her eyes, Ferio couldn't seem to move, he was transfixed on the angel's eyes. His curiosity pushed Ferio to say something. He wanted to know her name.
"Wh…Who are you?" he whispered softly. She smiled bringing her fingers to softly brush against his lips. She looked into his eyes once more, this time bring her gentle touch to brush against his now closed eyes. "You are in such pain, such pain.." she whispered bringing Ferio closer to her. The breeze shifted her hair making it dance once more. Ferio's gazed soften. She tenderly looked as she begin to gently pull him forward, she gracefully closed her eyes sealing her emerald eyes from him. His eyes began to fall as he leaned into her awaited her touch with his.
" Your majesty, we are awaiting your presence in the main hall" a young yet dashing man had entered the room. His dark tresses as the night of the dark, his dark yet soothing eyes the same. Lantis a loyal knight of Cephiro brother of the High priest Zagato. He watched as Ferio blinked back into reality, now frantically looking around his room as if had lost something dear.
"My Prince? Are you alright?" moving into the room closing the door behind him. Ferio sighed, deeply as he walked up to his window and shut it, stopping the wind from dancing with his sheer. He was jealous. 'Why should my sheer a mere piece of cloth enjoy the wind when I cannot.' Ferio had turned to face Lantis.
" Let us go, Lantis" Ferio had walked behind Lantis as they exited the room, he turned around hoping to find her there once again, only to see emptiness.
………………………………........................................................................................
Clef paced back and forth, awaiting the Prince and Lantis to make there return into the main hall so they may begin once again. He had hoped this would work and that the others would take him seriously for what he was about to propose. Everyone was attending, Caldina, the beautiful dancer, and yet she possesses a charm for creating illusions. Dal Lafarga, Captain of the inner guard, sworn to protect Cephiro and its people. Ascot, the young summoner who had always been treated differently because of his monster friends that he summons, but now that has change for him. Presea, the Chief Artisan in Cephiro, gentle yet determined. All was here for the matter that Clef was implying was great.
"Clef, we will start when the other arrive?" Ascot was tired of waiting, he swung his legs over a grand chair he was sitting in. Its soft cushions were already placing him into a world of dreams. His eyes were growing heavy from the lack of sleep he had received lately. Clef has stopped pacing the room and gazed at Ascot, noticing the little summoner was tired. Tired, yes indeed they all were.
"Of course Ascot we will start, right after the Prince and Lantis have arrived. Sit, and calm down I'm sure they wont be long." he turned around to begin his pacing once again. Persea was entirely annoyed with Clef's pacing, it was making her nervous which was really odd for her. Just about when she couldn't take it torment the large jeweled door opened. Revealing a distressed Ferio and emotionless Lantis. To Persea's surprise Clef has stopped pacing and had walked up to meet the young prince, his robes flowing behind him.
"Finally the both of you have decided to grace us with your presence. Please all of you take a sit and relax, I have news to bare to you all." he had waiting until everyone had taken there proper seats to tell them. Clef started to pace the room once again. Presea groaned. "Clef would you just stop and tell us? Please your making us all very nervous" she ended softening her voice looking at the sorcerer. Clef understood what she had meet, he himself was getting nervous by the minute. Before clearing his voice he look at the court that sat within the table.
"Cephiro is in danger…." before he could even start Caldina had stopped him, adding her own to his. "What a surprise….tell us what else is new" she mumbled under her breath, but unfortunately they all heard her. She sighed heavily. "I'm sorry Clef, please go on and tell us of this news you bring" he sat down closing his eyes, everyone waited for him to speak.
"I believe I have found a way on how to defeat whatever evil that is prevailing over us, you might see me a bit insane but I believe that I am right, what I'm about to say to you all is no lie, but truth." once opening his lavender eyes again he took a look at the people who surrounded him. Urging him to begin once more, he tighten his grip on his staff and said only three word that would utterly shock them. " The 3 Maidens.." he once again closed his eyes, so not to see their reactions.
"The 3 Maidens? Honestly Clef why do you believe such things? There just a legend, there not real" Lafarga retorted as he chuckled a bit. Clefs eyes snapped open piercing everyone. "I speak no lies, it is true of what I speak…" tightening the grip on his staff once more he regain his posture. "Please Guru Clef, tell us more of this legend you so do speak of?" Ferio urged him on listing intently of his words. "Thus when the world is inevitable, 3 maidens of Fire, Water, and Wind shall arise, bringing their hope, love, and will. Maidens of such tranquility, must be awaken by the wills of others, but not just any kind of will, but of the strength of heart." he finished, loosening his grip upon his staff.
"That was so sad and yet so beautiful." tears threaten to fall down the browned cheeks of Caldina as she squeezed a hand full of her red cape, Lafarga squeezed his hand over her bare shoulder for reassurance. Lantis stood up revealing his tall figure as he spoke. "And just how, Guru Clef are we supposed to find these Maidens that you say are real?" still looking at Clef, he shifted his weight onto his left foot. Clef let out another sigh. "The Legend holds, that the Fire Maiden could only be found in a place of fire, the Water Maiden would most likely be found were water resides or the ocean, the Wind Maiden is what confuses me the most…" Ferio's gazed softened, remembering the Angel that had entered his room earlier.
"And why would finding her be a problem? wouldn't it be common that she would reside were there was wind?" he questioned the Mage. Clef has looked up once more, "but the wind is everywhere…….." Clef now standing as he went towards the door. Without turning towards them he began to speak. "Lantis, you will find the Fire Maiden, I will search for the Water Maiden, I will trust you will find them before its to late, remember you will is everything to them. As for the Wind Maiden I will do further research, I suggest you all get some sleep for we will be doing great work tomorrow. I bid everyone a fair night." and with that he exited the room, leaving everyone a bit taken back and surprised.
"Well Lantis is looks like your going on a trip that's worth nothing. I bid thee a good night, or are you riding out tonight? Tonight would be better, it might make your chances finding the Fire Maiden better." Caldina had placed her arm on Lantis leaning again he while she looked at her nail, making sure there wasn't the slightest piece of dirt there. Lantis had just moved away for her and motioned Ferio to come to him.
"Tell Guru Clef that I have left, and I will not come back without the Fire Maiden, for the sake of Cephiro." Ferio had just nodded at the young knights' proposal. Seeing that the prince had understood him Lantis made his way towards the door and exited from the main hall. "Hey where is Lantis going?" an innocent Ascot had ask tugging on Ferio's robes. He had just knelt down patting the young summoner soft brownish head. "Its alright Ascot, you should get some sleep," he stood up facing everyone "in fact everyone should get some sleep we have much to do tomorrow" he had turned pushing the grand doors aside to leave the room.
"Clef and the Prince are right, tomorrow is a new day, we should be prepared. Goodnight everyone may you sleep well." Presea said while rising, her soft robes trailing behind her rhythmically. Her golden hair swaying down her back. After Presea's farewell everyone had decided that it was best that they should get some sleep for he next morning would be great and exhausting.

Fiery red eyes had slowly and somewhat gracefully opened. Her soft yet frail looking skin and gleamed against the fire that surrounded her. To her the fire was like warmth ness that engulfed her body, and was not bothered. Her fire-red mane glistened against the fires luminance. It was as if her hair was made of fire, her hair that was done in an elegant braid that fell over her shoulder. She sat on piece of fabric that was lavished with rose petals. Her Garment was simply a white flowing dress that hung loose to her figure, making her seem as a goddess. It was also held up by a small yet detailed chest plate, with a sparkling red gem centered in the middle . She reached out into nothingness as if she wanted someone to pull her out of her fiery barrier. Brining her hand down once again she brought it up to her cheek and closed her eyes.
"Indeed something is amiss…..we are going to be awaken….at last…" she whispered into the endless flames that held her, only to engulf her once more.
