"Why were you guys following me?" asked Umi. "If you haven't noticed we were trying to save you!" yelled Hikaru. "Well, you guys don't have to be the heroes.... Again!!!" screamed Umi. "Hikaru, Umi is right but you could have said it in a nicer way Umi." Said Fuu. "So now both of you are against me?" exclaimed Umi. "Maybe we should forget about each other." Suggested Hikaru. It was too late Fuu had already left, and Umi was on the verge of tears. "Bye Umi, I hope your happy." Whispered Hikaru. As the three girls separated none of them looked back. "The are just foolish to leave me like this," said Umi to herself, "they will come back and say sorry because unless they do it's all over, I'm always the one who says sorry. I bet that both of them met up and said sorry to each other by now. They probably don't even want me back... well I hate them, and I will never forgive them." Suddenly the whole world froze as if everyone had been petrified by something horrifying. "Umi... Umi, do you hear me?" the weird voice said. "I do, but I can't quite make out who you are." Answered Umi startled. "I do not want you to know my identity, not yet at least. I saw what happened with the magic Knights. Why have you chosen this path, the path that will make you struggle, struggle very much! Are you willing to learn the gift of forgiveness, and say sorry to your friends?" the voice continued. "I don't know, and I wouldn't be calling us friends after what happened, I am just sick of always saying sorry to them. It's not fair!!!" answered Umi with a twitch of impatience in her voice. ' Very well then, you will be sorry but do not seek for help for none will indeed help you. I wish that Cephiro and Earth were together. The only way to do that is to get the Magic Knights. If you do change your mind then go back to Cephiro and get your friends as well, when you get there you will see Clef tell him to lead you to the 'Forest of Spirits'. When you get here then follow he right path, and you will find the 'Key of Dreams'. When you go to the forest make sure that Clef is with you without him you will not survive. There is more and the journey will be great, it will take a long time, but do not be scared, only the true Magic Knight will use the right tools to pass, it's the only way to connect our worlds." Umi was standing at the foot of the voice; she knew it was a woman. "I will call the others but this does not mean that I will forgive them, and we will not be friends, but I will do anything to help Cephiro." Suddenly the voice disappeared, and everything was back to normal. Was all of that a dream? No it could not be. Just hen it struck her like a lightning bolt. The woman was...
