"Umi" – Was the first thing that she heard at her return from Chizeta, at the same time she could feel the arms of Hikaru hugging her meanwhile she was trying to keep her balance for do not fall.
"Hikaru" – answered happily – "you always so full of energy"
"What a joy having you back" – was the perfect welcome of Fuu – "I hope the trip was comfortable"
"It was, but not better as been here, I miss you so much I have a lot of things to tell"
"And why you don't start right know?" – Said the enthusiast knight of fire.
"Not Yet, I haven't finished with my diplomatic duties, besides I guess you want to say Hi to Caldina Right?"
"Without say that we have to welcome the Ambassadors and Refugees from Chizeta" – remembered Fuu.
"Whit all my joy of seen you I almost forgot that"
"Hikaru…" – their two friends laughter and she blush a little in shame.
"And, Guru Clef and the others?"
"There are coming in a moment" – explained her blond friend – "There were fixing some details"
"I see you miss us, don't you Umi?" – Greeting Ferio, happy to see her.
"Maybe my young King, but please do not be excited about that Majesty" – answer her.
Both finished smiling, Hikaru was laughing and Fuu saying how both don't have remedy. That, give some time for the Master Mage and the rest of their cephirian friends arrived for welcome the newcomers, Umi smile at the moment when Larfaga was moving in front of the people looking for Caldina but seriously as ever.
Finally Caldina was out of the ship followed by her compatriots, between her and the knight of water made all the presentations, and after that, Ferio guide them to the room were the assembly would take part.
Meanwhile Lantis and Ascot stayed on the dock on charge of distribute the chizetan people and the three young friends stayed for help. Umi know that Varda and the Prince will not have problems at the meeting, and in that case Caldina will be there for help.
The days that followed were tired but happy and full of satisfaction. It was clear that the chizetans will need time for adjust to their new home, but they were grateful for all the better thing in their life the help of the cephirian people and that three little girls from earth, this cause a even more effort from part of the hostess and that a young King was doing his best for his own citizens as for Marcus.
For teaching how to use wisely the power of their will, there were more of seven groups of instructors, in one of them were the three girls, Presea and other ten cephirians, that with their experiences good or bad help the chizetan people to use correctly and without danger. The sessions generally ended with everyone laughing between the mistakes of the people and the little accidents that happened.
Umi feel more attached than ever with this people and not conform with everything that she was doing right now, she knew everything that was going on the meetings and more than one time she helped Ferio and Guru Clef with the books that she insisted on bring back with her from Chizeta. It was no doubt that they appreciated the enthusiasm and valuable assistance that she gave to them, but seeing how she was from one place to other and begun to be tired with all the activity the Mage decided to stop her. As it was expected she wasn't agree and at the beginning she continued with everything until Ferio and Alcar, worried for her health, threatened her with stop giving her information of what happened on the meetings.
Resigned, agree the four days of rest, originally more but she haggle over with Guru Clef, Hikaru and Fuu took her to the surroundings of the castle. The day was beautiful and there were a nice wind. They stop at a lake with crystalline waters, and the birds were singing, they rest there for a while and start to chat.
"Who would said that Lantis could be so romantic" – Smiled Umi
"He is a boyfriend very kind" – continued Fuu – "With all this he has been very busy, going from one town to and other, staying outside several days sometimes and with all he manages to say to her that he is thinking on her all the time" – Fuu was happy for her friend.
"Everyone wish to be like you Hikaru, I myself want a man whom holds a book full of annotations about me"
"Do not forget the poems" – remembered the blond.
"Stop that" – the poor girl had her face almost like her hair.
"But Hikaru a man like Lantis is for not feel ashamed"
"Truth, I think that is a motive for celebration…"
"And I am complaining? On contrary, I love to be with him although I am not the only lucky one, right Fuu?" – She was quick on change the subject…
"Right, right…" – Start Umi – "I have to admit that your Majesty as beginning to be a gentlemen…"
"Umi! He never as treat me bad"
"I know that…but sometimes…he is a little…rude" – this last word was barely audible.
"Umi!!" – say her friends at the same time.
"I didn't wanted to said in that way…it is just…well you have to admit that delicacy is not his best…although his sense of things and his treatment as improved" – She hurried to finish for they do not think that she was against the young King.
Fuu only sigh and release a small laugh, she know that her friend didn't intent on insult him.
"Do I interrupt" – A male voice come from between the trees and soon they were able to see a young blond.
"Eagle" – was the welcome from the three girls
"I am glad to see you girls too" – he said taunted.
"Please do not misunderstood" – Begged Umi – "Sit with us"
"Thank you" – He smiled to her a take his seat with the girls at the lake shore – "I haven't saw you since you arrived."
"I am sorry, it wasn't my intent…"
"Don't worry" – interrupted – "I know that all of you have been busy, and you more that the others"
"You have helped us too Eagle" – acknowledged Fuu –"All this days you have been help Ferio to distribute the people, according with the amount of people and resources in each one of the towns."
"Is that truth?" – Umi asked interested
"Yes" – answered Hikaru – "Almost as the same day you and Caldina departed for Chizeta"
"And Ferio is really grateful for that, for no said shocked, he said that he was impressed for how well you were able to adapt you strategic abilities on the situation and the conditions of Cephiro"
"Really" – He feel flattered.
"What are you talking about?"
"Of how although he is no native from this world, only with saw the maps that Guru Clef, Ferio, Lantis and Larfaga were looking about, he was able to know the way for move and give shelter to all the refugees" – informed the knight of fire.
"It didn't meat that they haven't some idea of what to do" – defended Fuu – "But thanks to Eagle the arrangement were more faster"
"Is no important, they had already all the sites that they were going to use as shelter" – He admitted.
"Yes" – said Fuu – "But Guru Clef told us that they probably had been a delay on the process of making the plans and the probability that the problems arise at the moment of doing that will be definitely higher"
"Well there is no doubt that the major is very inside of you" – say Umi – "Although the situation is different I don't think that this is the first time that you do something like that, right?"
"In truth, no"
"And we have to add that the children adore you" – she smiled like very few times have seen her friends. Eagle blinked a couple of times and their friends have a face of what, for not been able to understand from where that come from – "I had saw you three times playing with them at the principal garden of the castle, of course very quickly because all that times I was running."
"So it was really you" – Hikaru and Fuu look towards him now – "I through that I have saw you, but you always disappear so fast that I wasn't sure."
"And what do you play with them" – Hikaru asked.
"Mm…everything, but they like the most to catch me, not very easy although" – he said proud of himself.
"It is truth" – Umi laugh –"He climbed to the trees and was doing escape movements, pirouette and all that kind of stuff. It is a wonder that the poor kids weren't dizzy." – Only imagine that the girls laugh and he smile.
"Well, as you said, I have the military inside of me. I wasn't let that some kids catch me so easy."
In that moment Mokona arrive and put on her feet the knights of fire and wind pushing them and jumping over them, although they stand up on her own, it was the time for the class for the chizetan people that lived at the palace and Mokona went to remind them of that.
Umi of course wanted to go with them, but they didn't let her.
"You have to rest" – Fuu said.
"But…"
"Don't insist" – continued Hikaru – "Besides you can't leave Eagle alone"
"Its truth" – He has his eyes closed in and solemn attitude – "It will be and huge fault of education" – And winked and eye to the other two girls.
Then the others took their leave. Umi start to murmur thing about conspiracy against her and how no body respected her, all of this caused a small laugh from Eagle but after, it became stronger. As answer she almost beat him down playing, but her hand were immediately stopped by the hand of the major, whom quickly begun to apology himself although there was a smile on his face. This was enough for her for abandon her offensive attitude towards him and ended forgiving him.
That four days went mostly like this, in the company of the young blond, because the rest of their mutual friends were busy and they don't and also because the confidence that they had and the good that the time was where they were together. It was common saw them surrounded by children in the gardens of the palace, chizetans as cephirians. Most of the children weren't lost their hope of catch the autozamit and other wanted that the knight of water teach them fencing, this last request she acceded with joy.
"I can't continue any more" – complained the young man when their partners of play went to their homes. He let himself fall on the grass and now he was lie down looking the trees.
"What is the matter Major, to many for an autozamit?" – She joke.
"Not to many…" – his breathing was agitated – "But full of energy, what do they give to them as food? I bet that thousands and thousands of sugar…"
"And a lover of sweet things is talking" – to her ears arrived his laugh – "But yes, they simply don't get tired, today they really made you run, for a moment I thought that they will actually catch you."
"It is not that easy"
"Are you all right?" – She was concern.
"What is with that question" – His eyes traveled from the foliage of the trees to her, now sitting by his side, looking to him.
"Eagle, you are recovering at an amazing velocity and Guru Clef says that soon you would be fine and in conditions for back to your home…but you still need rest and I don't think that tired you self to much it is convenient."
"I am fine, trust me"
"Sure?"
"I am tired, but only in the normal limits. If I was feeling bad, I assure you that I will be at my room and not here." – Seeing that she still hold that look of worry – "I am not so irresponsible as you may think" – He winked at her and she smiled – "And talking about not over demanded" – quickly he sat in front of her – "you should take the things with calm to."
"Eh?"
"I understand that you want to help the chizetans, we all do, but you have to slow down, it is impossible that you always are running and of the three of the magic knights that I much like you are the only one that I don't see."
"I know that I have been like crazy, but I am really worried about their situation."
"Believe me, they know and appreciate, but also they don't want to see you sick, it supposed that you are on vacations!"
"I know, I will slow down" – She lower her head – "Still I didn't like the way that they used for stopped me, threatened me!"
"Be grateful that they didn't tie you."
"Funny" – her eyes ended on some king of metallic object – "What is that?" – She pointed to the small objet besides Eagle.
"Ah…This…well…"
He got closer to her in a way that both could look the small card, at the beginning she couldn't see anything, but suddenly images star t to flashed on the small screen.
"Ah!"
She saw how a family of three, appear and she did not have difficulty to know whom they were.
"It is you and your parents?"
"Yes"
In the Image was a younger Eagle about eight years old smiling and with eyes the hold a lot of energy, behind him were his parents, smiling to and trying to calm down the child. If she was amazed with the similarity between he and his father, know was clear for her that besides Zagato and Lantis she never had seen men so similar than them. The only difference was besides the color of their eyes, the shape of his chin that in the case of the son was clearly from the mother. Umi took her time contemplating the woman that was in a side from Silver, she was beautiful, her hair was straight a little above her shoulder, light brown, skin with and soft, and a her eyes were Eagles.
"You have the eyes and the chin of your mother"
"That's what they say"
In that moment the image change, this was only Eagles mother, she was smiling, not in the same way has her son but her face shows the same personality friendly and kind.
"She is beautiful" – she said without acknowledged that she said that aloud.
"Yes…She was" – Umi look up and saw his sad eyes, noticed that hi was been watched he change his expression for a smile, although been nicer like the other this wasn't sincere for the ones that know him.
With an audible sigh the major keep his treasure under his clothes and stand up for begin to stretch himself, Umi stand up too and only look him.
"Do you want some pie?" – She said after a while of looking him.
"I will love to" – and without giving second though they walk to the kitchen.
They been there for a while making jokes and she made several desserts whit his help, although at some point she have to remove from the mixture from his hands for prevent that he eat all, she almost ended getting out him from the kitchen. When finally everything were ready, Eagle was full of joy and Umi try to hold her laugh seen how childish Eagle can be when is food in the way. – Man, betrayed by his stomach-
Walking to the gardens again, Umi named someone.
"Guru Clef"
"Eh? Where?"
She made a deep breath before talk again – "You said to me that when I was ready and needed to tell to someone I could tell you…Guru Clef" – and she keep walking without waiting him.
The Autozamit need a couple of minutes for process the information that he just receive, but when he did his first reaction was surprise, clearly noted on his eyes and then of understanding. He feel really flattered for the trust that she show moments ago and without losing more time run after her.
