If you
truly love something, let it go, if it loves you, it will return.
Fuu's head was spinning. Someone had just
died on her account! And she still didn't know who it was! Her body felt light
as she moved the body off from ontop of her. She saw a pool of blood beneath
her and the body, she didn't seem to care if it was hers, but it wasn't. Her
heart was filled with guilt, and anguish, because she knew...it had to be one
of three who were helping her around.
Hikaru...Umi...or Clef...
Tears of pain started trickling down
her cheek as she began to recognize the one who had saved her life and lost
their own. Her heart was weighing the rest of her body down. From what she had
seen so far, it wasn't Clef. She turned the body over , and her heart just
shattered into a million pieces.
She let out a shrill scream. She was so angry,
and sad. Mixed feelings were taking over her body. Sobbing loudly, she started
glowing green.
Tears streamed down her face,
"Umi..."
She felt her anger ripping at her heart and
she stood up. Glowing bright green, the mental pain she was feeling right now,
those damned shadows were going to get some. The ground began to rumble, and
Fuu continued to stand there, watching the shadows cower in the corners.
Hikaru turned around and saw Fuu glowing, tears
still streaming down her cheeks. A shadow leaped at Fuu, and aimed right at
where it slashed Umi...and took Umi's heart. As the shadow got closer, Fuu
smirked. Wind surrounded Fuu and the shadow was swept away.
"Fuu..." Clef said staring in
shock and awe.
"Clef!!! What's going on?!"
Hikaru yelled puzzled and in awe.
The room was engulfed in a bright green light
and all the shadows dissolved...except for one, the one carrying Umi's heart.
It scampered off, cackling insanely.
Fuu's legs became weak and she collapsed.
____________________
We were loved, that is why we
return...return to the land of the living.
Fuu woke up again. She was tired, but at
least she wasn't feeling weak from being overrun by shadows. She blinked a bit
and stared at the person hanging over her.
"Magic knight! Are you ok?"
Fuu's vision was blurry, "...ehh...who are
you?"
Fuu started to idenitify the person,
who was a female, and had long ebony hair. She blinked a bit, in disbelief.
This woman reminded so very much of a deceased Alcyone. The...she saw a red gem
on her forehead.
"ALCYONE-SAN??!?!?!" Fuu
screamed in shock.
The woman immediately covered Fuu's
mouth, "Shush!"
The Alcyone-look-a-like, swished
her hair, "Yes, it is me..."
Fuu gasped, "BUT HOW?!"
Alcyone smiled, a somewhat
gentle smile, but still arrogant, "If I am alive, it means the Sovereign
has awoken."
Fuu began to get frustrated, 'Sovereign.
Sovereign. WHAT IS THIS SOVEREIGN THING?!'
"What's wrong?"
Fuu shook her head, "Nothing
Alcyone-san."
Alcyone, or so she said, began to have a more serious
look, "Princess Emeraude told me to protect the Magic Knights at all costs
this time."
When Fuu heard those words, she was
really beginning to get suspicious. Was this really Alcyone? Or was it a fake, a shadow in disguise. She
wasn't able to tell, even with Magic. Fuu turned around and picked up a candle
and put it in Alcyone's face.
Alcyone blinked, "...Wh...What are
you doing...?"
Fuu smirked,
"Heheheh....You're not a shadow are you..."
Alcyone looked annoyed, "No. If
I was, I'd be dead by now." She pointed to the ceiling with the lights.
"Oh...yeah, wait, if that's true, why can't we just
lead all the shadows in here?"
"Because there's too many and
there are dark spots for them to hide in."
Fuu, looked down and the bedsheets,
"Th...That's probably where the one with Umi-san's heart hid..."
"Umi? That little spoiled brat
of a Magic Knight?"
Fuu looked up angry, tears were
streaming down her face, "DON'T CALL HER THAT!!"
Alcyone looked down, actually in
shame, "I apologize....but I do believe I have an idea..."

Zazu flipped through the papers
attatched to his emerald green clipboard. He sighed loudly as he stared at the
vast Autozam colony. He felt sort of bad for taking up so much land on a
country that wasn't his own.
He then saw
someone drop a huge metal bar on someone's cart, which lead to the items on the
cart to fly off and smack into a building, taking a huge chunk out of it.
Zazu slapped his forehead, "Ooohhh
god...I wish Eagle was here, then he would know what to do."
"We'll call in for more supplies
in the morning. The insurance will cover the damage to the transport carts,
Zazu."
That voice. Zazu whipped around nearly knocking
whoever it was in the thighs with his hat. He looked up, at the tall dark
figure. His eyes widened, and he fell over in shock.
"E...E...EAGLE!!"

Sierra, the deceased Presea's
twin, was talking to Clef. She too was very distressed by Umi's demise, although she never really knew her.
The master smith let a tear roll down her cheek, just as she heard the massive
door behind her crack open. She whipped around and say a silhouette standing in
the doorway, one that matched her perfectly.
Clef's eyes peered down at the woman
standing at the door. She look bedraggled and somewhat wet from rain or getting
splashed by the Autozam ships, god knows what.
Sierra ran up to the woman at the door and
caught her as she collapsed, "PRESEA!!"

Lantis and Hikaru were embracing
by the place they first got acquainted. Hikaru heard running footsteps in the
hallway. The two of them looked up to see a green blur followed by a white and
burgundy blur.
Hikaru blinked, "Fuu?"
Lantis looked at the small, red-head,
"Shouldn't she be resting?"
Hikaru nodded and got up to follow her.
Even though Lantis was quite enjoying his little
cuddling time with Hikaru, he knew that Magic knight wasn't supposed to be up,
especially not sprinting like she was.
______________________
Fuu sprinted as fast as she could through
the hallways, Alcyone followed behind. Shadows were beginning to break through
the barriers. Parts of the castle crumbled off at the strength of the dark
forces.
Her legs became weak quickly, but sooner or
later she became dizzy again.
I'm coming to get you...
Fuu stopped dead in her tracks. Her
eyes were wide and her skin was pale. Someone or something was talking to her.
I will steal your pure heart...
Alcyone urged her to keep running, but Fuu
started to see a ghostly figure infront of her.
I am coming to kill you...daughter
of Emeraude...Sovereign of Cephiro...
Just then the ghost whipped through Fuu's
body, and she collapsed. Alcyone picked her up, she wasn't surprised at the
ghost's words. She knew what it was talking about.
"HEY!!!!" Hikaru yelled from
behind them, right before gasping.
Lantis came running behind her,
"...Alcyone..."
Lantis drew his sword, but Alcyone shook
her head, "I'm on your side, Lantis."
"HOW ARE YOU ALIVE?!" Lantis
boomed.
"I'm alive because the
Sovereign has awoken their power."
Lantis looked perplexed,
"Sovereign...?"
Alcyone picked Fuu up and continued down the
hall. Hikaru and Lantis looked at each other, and nodded. They proceeded to run
after Alcyone, who was beginning to run towards the throne room.

'I am coming to kill
you...daughter of Emeraude...Sovereign of Cephiro...'
Clef stood in the vast library, while Fuu
was sleeping on the floor with a mat underneath her. Alcyone and Clef were both desperately searching
through the books. Clef started to get fed up having to search through the
whole library and he pointed his ornate ring into the air.
"RAZZIA!" He cried out.
One of the books on the top shelves started
glowing in unison with the ring. The book floated gently to the ground and
opened on the nearby table. Alcyone rushed to the book, and stared at the page.
She nodded and gestured to Clef to come and look at the page.
He walked over and observed the Cephiran writing on
the page, "...So it's true..."
_______________
Fuu stirred and woke up. She
wasn't where she thought she was before...a beautiful meadow, a sparkling creek
and fountain. She stood up and looked at herself, she was translucent...almost
ghost like. She stared at the scene infront of her. A young girl and young boy
were playing by the fountain.
Fuu looked carefully and she noticed, the
little boy was Ferio...
"ELANTRA! Come on! You gotta
catch me to get it back!" the young Ferio cried out.
'Elantra?' Fuu said to herself, 'Most
likely the little girl's name...'
"Prince! Please give it back!" Elantra
called out while chasing Ferio.
The little girl fell and started to cry. Young
Ferio had sympathy and went over and gave, whatever he took, back to Elantra.
She stood and a necklace, in the shape of an angel with a green gem on its
chest fell to the ground and broke in half. Fuu watched, appalled, as it fell.
Fuu reached into her shirt and took out a
necklace, it was the same as the little girl's, except half of it had fallen
off. Fuu heard the little girl begin to sob and everything turned black.
