Sonatine of the Wind. ............................................................................ ........................
They all gathered around the sorcerer alongside the foot of the ocean. Noticing the sun had come out for sometime, shining its rays of light onto the surface of the ocean, making it glimmer like precious jewels. Ascot playing an amusing game of what he calls 'run away from the arriving water', Caldina standing behind him as he joyously played. Ferio, Persea, Lafarga all stood before Clef. "Lantis has gone?" the thought of Lantis actually obeying him was odd, but Clef didn't want to push it further then it already was. Persea smiled as she nodded, her golden hair falling over her shoulder. "Yes, it appears to be so. Clef be safe, and don't get eaten" she pointed out, playfully punching his robed shoulder. Clucking a bit at Persea's remark he look towards Ferio. "And you my Prince, be alert, I'll be back before you know it." Ferio just nodded clutching the jewel he had placed within his pocket after he had awoken. "Don't worry Clef, everything will be fine. You just concentrate on finding and awaken the Water Maiden." and with that the wise sorcerer had turned and walked into the watery ocean, only hearing the voices of Ascot and Caldina say there goodbyes from ashore. Now the water up to his knees he raised his staff into the air, as the wind brushed his hair. Closing his eyes he thought of one thing, his staff now glowing a faint white aura. "Breath for me." a clear crystal ball had surrounded him, now submersing himself into the dark ocean.
From the shore, Ascot now waving frantically as Clef had submersed into the water. Turning upward to look at Persea. "How long do you think it will take Clef?" Everyone had turned to face Persea as she closed her eyes in thought. "Honestly Ascot I do not know. But for now we shall just wait until they return" turning, leaving the others as they started to follow her back to there home, the castle of Cephiro.
............................................................................ ........................
Clef feeling the coldness seep through his crystal carrier, pulling his robes closer to him as he tired to receive warmth from them. A few exotic fish had swam by, which surprised him seeing how everything above the ocean was either dieing or dead. Now observing that he was plunging even deeper before, and for some reason he could not gain control of the crystal that carried him towards whatever it was taking him. Not panicking Clef had just sat back waiting for the carrier to come to a halt. Clef seemed at awe, never really finding the time to visited the ocean, he had found it relaxing and breath taking. Of course he wouldn't mind if he was able to live here because that is what he liked, peace and tranquility, something that was hard to find at the castle. Closing his eyes as he heard the water brush against the carrier he had wonder onto his thoughts. He hadn't read everything on the Elemental Maidens, he started to wonder how they were going to restore Cephiro to its pervious position, as the pillar once did, what would happen to the pillar system? Does it still exist? Waiting for the next available pillar? Or was it truly gone with Emeraude-hime? .......Princess Emeraude, she truly did have a wonder heart.
As Clef ponder with his thoughts be hadn't notice the crystal carrier and lend him into an ice cavern. Coldness breaking his thoughts he slowly opened his eyes to greet the new surrounds that was before him, the crystal carrier now disappearing as he stepped out onto the icy floor. "What have I gotten myself into." pushing that behind his mind, he slowly made his way across the endless pathway of ice taking its structure in awe. Old and new crystal's protruding out from beneath and above the ceiling. Clef now slowly his pace as he saw a figure in front of a magnificent blue door, walking a bit closer to the figure, tightening his grip upon his staff. The person was covered with a royal blue cloak, raising their hand water surround into a form of a sword, revealing its shape and texture. It was a plain sword, sleek and narrow, its handle was wrapped up with a fine blue cloth that was threaded with tiny, blue sapphires. A ribbon that was tied onto the handle as well as it somewhat moved like water. They had brought down there sword, pointing it in Clefs position. The being softly withdrew the hood of its cloak to reveal a pair of soft light blue eyes. Her wild white hair blew into the icy air of the cavern. Clef took one step before he spook to the woman that was guarding the door.
"I am Guru Clef, Master sorcerer of Cephiro, I come here to awaken the Water Maiden and nothing else." now placing his staff before him as he looked on. The women made no motion of talking she just continued pointing her sword before Clef. Now hardened her eyes as she took a few stepped toward the sorcerer, sword still in hand. "nothing else? For you are mistaken ." she withdrew her sword as she place it back into its sheath, "I am Marina, Guardian of the Water Maiden, keeper of Water, this is a scared place, not just any human being can be allowed to enter." speaking with calmness as she spoke strongly. Turning around she stopped at the foot of the doors as she turned to face Clef. "You must prove your will to her, by taking a test, though it will not be easy." Clef took his staff in one hand as he approached cautiously towards Marina. "What kind of test will I be participated?" not listening to a word Clef had said, only placing a pale hand onto the door. A blue soft glow surround her hand. As it died down the impressive door slowly began to open revealing massive towers of crystal pillars. Walking a bit into the room, Marina had turned around slightly towards Clef. "Shall we play a game? Her mischievous eyes deepening into Clefs own. "What? I have no time for games. I need to awaken her now." gripping his staff once more he walked through the grand doors and past the guardian. Now releasing her sword and placing it beside her she raise her hand up to encircle Clef with icy water. Alarmed now by her method of magic, Clef turned around now facing a shielding Marina.
"It is just not that simple Clef of Cephiro, just as the others will face a similar test you shall to... Although it will not be easy" waving her hand aside as the spirals of water that surround Clef collapsed. "And what if I decline your request?" still keeping a closer eyes on her sword and what she intend to do with it. "Its not just a request, its an order....to awaken the Maiden you must defeat me in a game of magic, Guru Clef, Master sorcerer of Cephiro." slightly angered Clef brought his staff in front of his figure. "You mock me.Marina, Guardian of the Water Maiden" his staff now glowing a purplish color, raising it above him, it sent a shockwave that reflected towards the guardian. Still standing there not moving as the wave of power came roaring ahead of her, she only placed her hand before her as if she was going to deflect it with her hand. Clef seeing this only looked on. The quicker he got rid of her the faster he could awaken the Maiden. The guardian only closed her eyes as the blast of power vanished as it struck her hand, leaving an undamaged body. Clef, an unbeliever on what he just witness stared at the smirking figure before him. "pathetic....sorcerer." her right hand began to glow a daring blue color, as she blast the beam towards a crystal pillar that started to crackle and break falling towards Clef. Seeing this Clef immediately raised his grand staff to create a barrier that blocked the pillar from falling on him any further. Now tossing the fallen pillar aside with his magic, its crystal form shattering into insignificant remains, as clouds of crystal dust flew around them creating a think fog. Hearing someone giggle only meant that she was near and toying with him. Blind by the think fog, Clef has noticed a glimmer of blue energy. 'she's attacking' quickly clearing his thoughts he barley dodged the incoming beam Marina had release towards him. As the beam passed through Clefs robes only to shear them a little, he concentrated on the position were she could possible be. Barely dodging once again another beam that Marina had released towards him, he quickly hid behind a crystal pillar as the fog that the fallen crystal had made was now disappearing. "Now, now, now sorcerer you cannot hide for long." wildly sending her blue beams across the room as it hit whatever it touched making more crystal pillars fall onto the ground.
Now seeing that she had exposed her self, Clef concentrated all his energy into his hands. Surprising Marina, Clef had appeared from his hiding place throwing his blinding energy into Marina. Her senses told her that something was coming behind her, only to feel pain flow through her back as she fell towards the ground. Hitting the ground with force made Clef realized that he had defeated her. He walked towards her tangled body, her hair concealing her face. His tattered clothing mixing with hers as he lend over to see if she was indeed dead. His lavender hair falling out of his traditional headdress. Still eying her he had finally noticed that her left hand was glowing a dim blue color. Still examining her hand he hadn't noticed her eyes had snapped opened. Clef felt a stinging sensation claps his throat, now bring his attention towards his captor, he had noted that her hand was draining his energy right before him. Trying to pry her hand from his neck, he found that he couldn't even bring his hand up to push her away. Smiling victoriously she placed her other hand onto Clef's neck as she began once again to drain his energy. Clef now falling into a darken sleep as he tried to struggle to reach for his staff, but was overtaken by a subconscious sleep.
Clef now standing in a harsh environment, that some what looked familiar, but scanned the area for any life. Still confused on where he was, he thought as the drew his robes closer, 'but wasn't I just fighting Marine? Where am I?" stepping closer he had noticed a destroyed building that was to a mere rubble. Also seeing the once blue sea now black. 'Wait a minute...' his thoughts trailed as he walked a bit further stumbling over a few rocks along the way. "Doesn't it look familiar.. Clef?" startled, Clef has stopped walking only to frantically turn to find out where the voice had come from. "Who is there? Where am I?" looking once more for the owner of the voice he step on what seem to be an old road. Gazing at the old with much interest, he kneeled down to gently brush the old and worn road. "It couldn't be?" now alarmed he dashed onward following the road onto its destination for being there. The road now coming to an end, he had dropped onto his knees making his robes flow around him as the settle on the ground. Now in shock, the majestic castle that was once there was now reduced to a mere rubble and old stones that tried to keep its once grand design. The cold breeze brushing up against the once elegant and refined castle of Cephiro, making a few rocks from its broken towers slid into the darken ocean. " You failed Clef...you failed us all" the gentle voice surrounded Clef as he fiercely brought his fists towards the ground of the road. " No! No! I didn't this isn't real, I still have to fight..." trembling as the wind picked up his garments that covered the old road. "No Clef it is to late..you failed... You killed everyone by not returning...you failed." the now angered sorcerer stood up, glaring to the darken sky, its gloomy clouds cover all that tried to enter. "No you lie everything here is a lie..this isn't Cephiro .. I will overcome this task and awaken the Water Maiden..I WILL!" noticing Clef was yelling out while she drained the last of his energy, her eyes soften slowly releasing her grip on his neck. "I WILL!" yelling once more as Clef eyes snapped open, as he grabbed Marina's arms and with great force pushed her off him.
Marina now sliding across the icy floor had know this was her end. A crack in the floor had opened up while they were battling. Falling into it she had some how grasped the edge of the fracture. Clef saw this and quickly went over to her aid, he wasn't the type that would just let someone he hardly knew that was just doing their job die. Now kneeling catching her hand as she began to fall into her watery death below her. "Hold on" her yelled as he tighten his grip on her slipping hand. She only smiled. "You have defeated me..you may see her now." waving her free hand, Clef looked over his shoulder to see that a wall of ice was melting revealing a golden marking door. Turning back to the Guardian he began to pull her up when she just stopped him. Looking a bit confused Clef only waiting for her response. "Like the other guardians, they too have waiting to be set free..just like me.. I have waited eons for someone like you to defeat me and for that I thank you. You clearly have a strong will than anyone I have meet. Take care Guru Clef, Master sorcerer of Cephiro." she just smiled. "but I just cant let you do this." silencing him with a wave of her hand he whispered "let go." still a little hesitant he slowly let her go, turning away as she plummeted towards the river of water.
Now getting up he motioned his staff to come to his hand. Once finished he carefully walked towards the golden doors, placing his hand onto it he gave a gentle shove. A beautiful room decorated with long trailing blue ribbons that moved like water its self. Its white glazed floor glimmered as tiny sapphires embedded themselves into the hard floor. Walking further into the room he had noticed a sheer that encircles a white satin bed in the core of the room. Gathering this courage his slowly walked towards the sheer that concealed something behind it. The further Clef has went into the room he had notice a small waterfall in the background, its mist making a wonderful rainbow. Also he had also taken in that the room was indeed an island surrounded by crystal clear water, making it become an illusion to his eyes. Breathtaking. Drawing his attention towards the sheer he quickly noticed something or someone was sleeping in it. Placing his hand softly upon the sheer he had saw her again, she was sleeping peacefully her soft blue hair cascading over her pillow and onto the floor, her white flowing garments mimicking what her hair had done. Her hand gracefully positioned itself by her cheek. He had never seen anything so beautiful in his life, but how was he supposed to awaken her? Clef placing his staff onto the white floor still keeping contact on the angel he had found. Carefully drawing the sheer back he gently sat beside her still body, transfixed on her form. Gliding his hand across her soft adored face and onto her bare shoulders as if he was tracing a picture. "Please..Please awaken now..Cephiro is in need of your help once more" looking down onto the ground awaiting for something to happen.
A gently hand stroke the side of Clefs tired face, bring his face to meet with hers. "I'm...awaken" from that moment on Clef was now in a trance, for the Water Maidens eyes were breathtaking, he could not find the strength to tear his glance from her. Now sitting up, her hair now cascading down her bare shoulders and onto the bed. Clef couldn't help his self, he softly acquire her face into this hands still looking deeply into her mesmerizing eyes. The water maiden simply took his hands into hers and gently arose from her bed bringing Clef with her. Lavender meet Blue, somehow in a way Clef never wanted to part from her. Her soft voice rang through the room like bells. "Shouldn't we be departing, dear mage?" slightly walking a distance from where Clef had stood. Trails of soft flowing sheers of silks cascaded around her body, as a brilliant but small chest plate held them up exposing her shoulders and arms. Still entranced, Clef slowly walked up to the maiden carefully gazing at her innocent features. "If I might ask... ask of your name dear Maiden of Water?" her eyes closed softly as she bowed gracefully, her hair tumbling down her shoulders as if it were made of liquid. "Why of course, though we being Maidens, it isn't necessary for us to have names, but if you must know I am called .. Umi." He had saw her bow to him. Her name was so foreign, but if felt right to speak her name from his tongue. "Umi ... A name that is well suited for a Water Maiden. Let us go to Cephiro." taking her hand once more, the two walked gracefully out of the marvelous room, garments of both entwining with each other.
