"Cephiro?!?! Are you sick or something? I thought it is only a manga
and anime? Are you sure its true? Cherrie bombarded Sarah Mae with questions.
"Maybe. I know two possible facts that support its reality." she
replied and showed a forefinger. "One. If the story is truly fctional, it
means that everybody in the whole wide world is normal. With that fact, how
does one explain the powers and abilities you have?"
"I-I never thought of that." Cherrie said.
"Second is based from what I heard from the manga. It is explained
that Cephiro is the opposite dimension of earth in which both are balanced.
All of our cultures are put into one world. In Cephiro, these cultures are
separated into distinct planets and Cephiro is one of those planets."
"And that means Hikaru, Umi and Fuu are real!" Cherrie concluded.
"There must be something happening that is affecting us. But that meant
Hikaru, Umi and Fuu are fighting a certain enemy. Do you think they are
summoned again to Cephiro for the third time?"
"I do not know either, but these unusual events are related to their
power. The must be fighting their enemy right now." Sarah Mae said.
"Then Cephiro is rest assured because they're the Legendary Magic
Knights!" Cherrie replied.
"Yes, not matter what happens, it is their dole duty to protect
Cephiro from danger. Let us leave them alone. I know they will succeed.
She hopely assured lifting up her spectacles to the bridge of her nose.
"Unfortunately" Cherrie frowned "we cannot have fun because of what's
happening here." she groaned. "Come its almost time, we have to return to
our own classrooms."
As they returned to their classroom, many teachers were already
rushing to their respective classes. Sarah Mae propped herself on her
armchair, waiting for their romantic English teacher, Mrs. Benitez. It had
came to pass, next came Math, Christian Living, and lastly Accounting. The
mother-like Mrs. Victoria giggled as she finished her class. Lunch was
finished with a tasty longanisa. Then school was finished Sarah Mae rode on
the bus, giving a sigh of relief. The weather occurence had not changed. The
strong winds, the uncalmed sea and the falling fire continued to rage. Not
long after she entered her house, she noticed the mango tree waving gently,
next very violently. The tree was already near to leaning on their metal
fence. It had become worse.
"Let's open the T.V. and watch the news. I need info very badly."
Patrick said. He pressed the power button and jumped on the couch.
"Good afternoon this is the TV Patrol reporting the latest news." The
lady cheerfully said. "These past few days the typhoon 'Nanang' has been
stronger than expected. It hit Visayas with a frightful blow as 200 or more
were missing while 87 are now confirmed dead."
"I can't take this news! Everything's too much right now! Even
Nanang's rains and windy strength can be felt here." Patrick exclaimed.
"Sigh. I wish...I wish..."
"Wish what?" Patrick said."Oh never mind. I shouldn't have interruped
you."
"I wish nothing wrong shall happen..." Sarah Mae mumured. That night,
she merely touched her dinner. She then took a sponge bath, brushed her
teeth and then went to bed.
She began to dream. Opening her eyes, she saw all around her were
darkness."Where am I?"
"This is our domain." the voice came from a tall dark shadow as it
revealed itself in front of her. Then a small glow appeared. As it grew
larger, it went near the shadow. The sark shadow appeared to be a man clad
in strange armour.
"Zagato!" Sarah Mae shouted, stepping aback.
"Do not be alarmed Legendary Magic Knight." the glow calmly said.
Zagato reluctantly turned around and bowed sweetly at the glow. As the glow
dimmed, it appeared to be a young lady.
Zagato hugged her and said "I do not want to interfere with what is
happening to Cephiro, but the Princess insisted." he kissed the young lady
he was embracing.
Princess Emaraude smiled and walked toward Sarah Mae. "The last
Legendary Magic Knight, I am powerless to summon you even for the new Pillar.
Cephiro needs you in this time of crisis."
"Me?!? A Magic Knight? Why choose me Princess?" Sarah said,
astonished. "If I were the last Magic Knight, why summon me just now?"
"I summoned only three out of four. Real Magic Knight, the last
Legendary Mashin is untamed and fiercer than any of the other three combined.
Take caution that even as a Legendary Magic Knight, there is a possibility
that you Mashin can kill you." the Princess answered. "Take this special gem.
It will help you on your journey to Cephiro, with the help of a friend. Last
of the Legendary Magic Knights, please save Cephiro, my birthplace." he voice
was already fading together with her image as well as Zagato's. "It is your
duty and destiny..."
"Wait! Don't leave!" I have so much I do not know. I do not even
know how to fight or even weild a weapon!" Sarah Mae shouted.
"Wake up! WAKE UP!" Patrick was shaking his sister's legs.
"Wha...what?!?!?" she finally opened her eyes." It was only a dream."
She placed her hand on her head, getting sleep out of her face. It felt cold.
She let go of whatever it was she was grasping. A yellow crystallized jewel
fell into her lap."So it was real." she muttered.
"What's real?" her younger brother asked." And what's that thing on
your lap? You stole it didn't you?"
"I did not! If ever I tried to rob a bank, I would have been caught
even before I opened the safe!" she retorted."It was a gift Patrick. I was
rummaging my desk and found this. I only saw it in my drawer last night and
got asleep with it, that's all. You know I usually sleep with a book on my
chest when I get sleepy." She glared at him, arms on her hips, now off the
bed.
"Okay then. No Problem! You don't have to bombard me with the facts
you know!" Patrick harsly said. On the back of his mind he thought,'She never
wanted any jewelry before, but why like it now? Maybe she's getting to be
like mom.'
A few minutes later, they all got ready for school. It was already
raining. While waiting, Sarah Mae confronted one of her brothers. "Patrick,
you're the eldest next to me." she looked at him with trust. "If ever
something happens, do not worry. Is that clear?"
Patrick looked at her in confusion. It clicked. He remembered the bus
was already there. He said goodbye and took off.
On Sarah's bus, the streets the passed by were flooded. Flying leaves
and small debris soared around. Charred trees were upturned. On every turn
they head there happened some disaster. Good thing they reached the school
safe and wet. Just wet. She went into her classroom and left some mud
trailings on their once clean and green flooring.'I think I should leave
myself wet sinc ethe water has began to enter the corridoors. Besides, its
raining furiously, may have half classes today.'
When recess was a few minutes away, there was a loud screech on the
speaker that must have been quite earsplitting. A cough came and said "Dear
students." Mrs. Paraiso smoothly spoke with her low voice. "I am greatly
distressed about the weather. It has increased from Signal Number One to
Signal Number two. Therefore, I am announcing that we will have half day
classes today." the Principal finished her speech.
There were shouts of joy that rang immediately after that.Many
students began to fix their books and notebooks and began to run to their
locker rooms. Just in time, Cherrie joined Sarah Mae up to their locker room.
"At last no classes. Its about time we had a break out." Cherrie said
gleefully.
"Well." Sarah Mae said. "Maybe not. I have an enigma for you to help
me solve. I suggest we have to go somewhere easier to talk about magic." she
whispered at the mention of the word 'magic'.
"If you're looking for a place, Aunt Mizumi went on a business trip
again and she will be back by next week." Cherrie suggested as they were
walking downstairs back from the lockers.
Sarah leaned on the cemented railing and replied "Great. You go home
first then-"
A great gust of wind blew them to the jalousy, with their backs
facing it. Keroberos tickled Cherrie. "Cherrie! Use your Shield Card now!"
She did as she was told. She opened the key to the Clow Book and
with a command of authority, took out the Shield Clow Card and started.
"Mystical Clow Card, I ask of thee
Show thy power unto me
Clow Card Shield!" she threw the card and twirled her staff and struck the
card when it came in front of her. Large bubbles formed around the students
who will be taking the hit just in time before the next blast came. There
came a blast of water, next was of fiery flames and then it suddenly stopped
as is suddenly had appeared. Finally the unseen bubbles disappeared. Cherrie
leaned on the jalousy and gave a sigh of relief. "Phew, that was close. I'm
Kero-chan shouted. Sarah Mae, are you okay? HEY!?"
The one being talked to could not move at all. A great pain has swept
upon her. She was petrifies, almost losing her own self. Sweat was on her
face transfixed at that last moment.
"Young ladies!" Miss Lising ran to them.
Sarah Mae then returned to reality. She blinked.
"Are you okay?" Cherrie said, worried of what happened to her friend.
"Yeah, I'm alright now." Sarah Mae replied.
"Girls, is everyone alright?" Miss Lising lost her composure and
shouted.
"Y-yes, Miss Lising." All the girls chorused together with Cherrie
and Sarah Mae.
'That was no ordinary accident. That could have killed somebody.
Maybe the Lord God saved them. Thank the Lord!" thought Miss Lising.
Hours later, the two friends gathered around Aunt Mizumi's living room accompanied by Keroberos. "Thank you for the warning awhile ago
Kero-chan." Cherrie stated.
"That was nothing." Kero-chan replied. "I sensed the danger and
immediately informed you."
"Funny thing was that after the incident Sarah Mae looked distant
and shocked." she faced Sarah Mae questioningly.
"Uhm.." She was pressured by the powerful stares from Cherrie and
Kero-chan."At that time I felt a peircing pain. A consecutive and growing
pain from each of the blasts." Sarah Mae confessed."The jewel on my pocket
jiggled as if it was supposed to be the fourht blast.
"What jewel?" Cherrie inquired and faced Kero-chan.
"A jewel I recieved from Princess Emeraude." she confided.
"What?!?!" Princess Emeraude! But this is impossible!" she looked at
Kero-chan with doubt.
Keroberos, who did not know whom they are talking about asked "Who is
she and what does she represent?"
"Don't you know that she is already dead?? She died because she loved
somebody. She was the Pillar of Cephiro. She summoned the Legendary Magic
Knights to kill herself."
"Yes, she did die, but I saw her in my dream. The told me that I was
the last Magic Knight. A friend will help me together with this jewel to go
Cephiro. So, I was thinking it might be you." she informed Cherrie.
"Then I'll try. But what will I do?" Cherrie asked.
"I don't know. Why don't you try it." Sarah Mae placed her yellow
gemstone on the table and looked at it."Try anything."
Cherrie touched it. Nothing happened. She tried using her own powers
to make it react. Still, nothing happened. She opened her key to the Clow
Book and used it to tap the jewel. None. She then brought out her staff. As
soon as she went near the gem, it started to glow. Both the jewel and her
staff were glowing. She nodded at Sarah Mae and positioned to strike."1...2
...3!" She was about to hit the jewel in midair when she stopped there,
shaking. Four colors appeared. One yellow, red, blue and green. All four
directed upwards and combined into a beam. "AAAAAAHHHHHH!" she and the other
two cried. The next second they were all gon. There was no one in hte living
room but the living room itself.
