" The sunlights come in." Presea said, looking out the window of the inn. Her long blonde hair was billowing out behind her as a small breeze came in.
" Well, it's time to go and get to the next place." Said Caldina as she stretched to get her kinks out.
" Then let's get moving." Said Ferio as he smiled at the whole group of assorted people from way different worlds.
" Hey, Umi!" Said Ascot, as the group moved from the town of D'jose and set off down a long road. " Where are we heading?"
" Oh!" Umi exclaimed, a little surprised. " I think...." She stopped walking for a second to think about the next place, " Maybe it would be wise if we headed towards Guadaslem. It's not my favorite place but it would be best to get Shiva pretty soon. For Hikaru's sake."
" Yeah. I guess." Ascot said, scratching his head a little as he thought of his next question. How do I put this, he thought slowly. " Hey Umi!"
" Yeah. What is it Ascot?" The water guardian said cheerfully, " Why... Why did Hikaru become a summoner?"
Fuu's eyes widened and Ferio instantly noticed her discomfort. " What's the matter Fuu?" He asked, his hand gently being placed on her shoulder. Fuu seemed to almost look right throught Ferio to see Umi and Ascot talking. Umi had stopped walking again and had grown pale. Her eyes had gotten larger that usual and she put her head down so her bangs covered her eyes. " Let's not address that just yet." She said, looking at Ascot threw her shappire bangs.
However, Zagato thought differently on the matter and walked up behind the two knights. "If her conviction is strong, then she should have a strong motive. What motivates the Magic Knight to fight for her world, she wasn't forced to, like in Cephiro? This is something that she as an individual wants to achieve. I think what she is and has already accomplished in both worlds is astonishing, but I would also like to know why she is so ready to fight for this. What pushes her to do this."
" But.-" Fuu started to protest but Umi's words stopped her cold,
" Maybe we should tell them..." She said.
" Tell us what?" Lantis said, as he turnt back and looked at Hikaru who smiled thinly and mumbled something about sitting down at the local lodge they had passed previously. " Hikaru.." He whispered as she walked past and away. Fuu ran to catch up with her and to make sure she was okay.
Lantis then turnt to Umi, " So what are you going to tell us?"
For a moment, Umi was silent as her blue hair swayed in the breeze. " Okay, here's what I... well here's what happened last year.
Hikaru lived in the town we just left, she was living with her brothers in D'jose. Her brothers names are Satoru, the oldest who was also a Maester. Her third and the youngest of the brothers was also a Maester and they were always doing things to make sure the people around them were happy. Both of them had amazing magical talents and could have.. well they could have easily been summoners. There was also her other brother, Masaru, who is on a pilgrimage as well. But, he hasn't been heard of for about two to three months, it depends on who was talking to him last. He was, a last guess, at Mt. Gagazt. He was really a powerful summoner and all the aeons were really powerful with him as their master. He had three guardians but he hasn't been heard from, and Hikaru was really worried. That's one reason for her dangerous journey.
A-another reason was because her two brothers, Satoru and Kakeru asked her to become a summoner. It... it was their dying wish."
Presea broke in, her eyes becoming sad, " Dying?"
Umi nodded, " Yeah. About seven months ago they died when Sin attacked D'jose, so that's what they wanted Hikaru to do. To finish her training as a summoner and to stop there. If Hikaru had kept training she would have most likely become a Maester like her two brothers. Kakeru had thought to take her place, so..... so she would be safe at the end, and she could enjoy the Calm, but he is lost and so Hikaru trains very hard to fulfill the wishes of the dead. Hikaru's brothers were never sent so they were the first fiends that we had to help destroy. Hikaru broke into unstoppable tears after that, and I.. I can't blame her for it. She doesn't have a family anymore. Her parents were mutilated in that dark forest us three had passed earlier on, by an unknown force 5 years back. This is why Hiakru-chan fights."
For a very long time, no one spoke and of course everyone had already stopped walking. But Umi had still not finished. She wrapped her arms about herself, and started talking again, " You all don't have to help us. Not if you don't want to."
Ferio and Presea both objected and the others joined in saying that " What Hikaru and you girls are doing is so noble, we have to help!"
Umi lowered her eyes again, " To defeat Sin. A-and to bring peace, means the summoner sacrificing herself. When all this is over the one who has to work the hardest to do it all will die. I don't want to help her to end it..."
" What?" Lantis said, shock and disbelief clearly on his face. " She... she will die?"

Hope you like it, and help me figure out what to do about Kakeru.
