Authors note: ok here is the second chapter, so quick summary. The story is more about Lantis. He remembers on he did to Hikaru six years ago and how he feels about it.
So before you read it, just want to say I don't own Magic Knight and blah blah blah. Just enjoy and tell me how you like it.
To Remember You Hurts LantisIt was very late at night. It was very quiet and peaceful. Everybody was asleep in there beds and happy. Cephiro was very peaceful nowadays. There was no war, no conquering country, no warships and no monsters trying to hurt the country. Except one person, who was sitting on the balcony. It was no other but the Masterswordman, Lantis.
Lantis took a deep breath. What a day. He was relief that it was nighttime and everyone was asleep and that's how he liked it. No one bothering him. Peaceful. He felt someone nearby and looked toward the south tower. It was Ferio or King Ferio. He could see that he took a deep breath. So he must also have a bad day. Who wouldn't? After what happened. Lantis took a deep breath again. He looked at his surroundings. It was a full moon tonight and the light shined so brightly that he could see the magnificent garden. It was really beautiful, especially when he was with… Stop it Lantis. Nothings gonna change. But he could not help himself. He tried to stop it cause just to remember hurts. I wonder how she is. Is she happy? Is she doing all right? Is she with another man? With that thought he clenched his fist. Whoever she was with he hoped to god that he would never cross that man cause he would eventually kill. He unclenched his fist. Face it Lantis, you were the one who made her left. He didn't want to remember but his brain didn't allow him. Ever since Eagle and Hikaru entered the chamber to where the crown was and forced them both out, his first thought that came to his mind was let it be Eagle. He didn't know why then. His feelings for that red head changed when she told him that she loved him and blacked out. Since then, he tried his best to protect her. But he never knew that he was falling for her. He got really scared when he found out that the crown could have chosen Hikaru. But finally it did. But what surprised him was that Hikaru's wish was for that the people of Cephiro would build and take care of it by themselves. After a few days, Hikaru came to talk to him one night. The night, which he would never forget. The night were he broke Hikaru's heart.
backflash
"Hey Lantis…"
"Hikaru… what are you doing here?"
"Nothing… I just can't sleep… funny huh? Now that Cephiro is ok?"
"No… I understand… just tell me why your here"
"I want to stay…"
"Why? Your job is done… there's nothing left for you to do here."
"Lantis why…" I cut her off so what I would say would be done, so I won't have to see her cry.
"You have to go back. You don't need to stay. Go back to your world." I turned around
"Just tell me to stay" I knew she was crying, " tell me why should I go back?"
"because you don't belong here. Because your job is finished. You should live in your world, marry and grow old there." But my heart was screaming don't leave me.
"Why are you doing this?? Look at me Lantis! Just tell me why?"
I looked at her this time and it sliced my heart when I saw her crying. You have to do this Lantis. Let her go. Let her be with her family.
"I have to go…" I turned my back and started walking away but stopped. What she said was what made me stop. It was barely a whisper but still I heard it. Why did she have to say it?
"I love you." That was all she had to say to make my heart and time stop.
"Did you hear me Lantis!! I said I love you!!!" this time she yelled it.
My back was still turned. "Thank you… but I love someone else… Sandy is her name… and I'm going there tomorrow." I started walking. Walking away from the woman who I loved so much. Goodbye Hikaru. But then she brushed passed me.
"I hate you Lantis!"
When she said those words, I forgot everything I said. All I knew is that my life revolved around her. I ran as fast as I could. Then I saw it as clear as it could be…the pillar of light shown. I ran as fast as I could. Don't go. Don't leave me!
End
I took a deep breath again and wiped the tears that formed. Six years had passed since I last saw her. His heart ached for her smile, laugh, and beauty. The first few months made him crazy. Wherever he went, it reminded him of Hikaru. He would remember her when it was night, that's why he made sure that he'd work 24/7. Sometime later, he finally came to his senses that he could never see her again but only remember her. Somehow Ferio and Ascot was also affected of the departure of Umi and Fuu. Ferio started dating so many girls everyday. Ascot always was doing something. Who could blame them? Both of them loved the Magic Knights. He saw Ferio move. He turned his head around and waved. So Ferio knew he was there. Who could blame Ferio from having a bad day? One of the advisor asked Ferio that day why couldn't he settle down and that Cephiro needs queen blah blah blah. It was boring to be there, but I had too. Actually he was the one who stopped it.
Backflash
We were in a library. I had to be there to make sure that nothing happens to him. Every night Gavin, Ferio's advisor would tell him the problems and how Cephiro was doing. I just listened. Not much was wrong with Cephiro. Finally which I thought it was over Gavin had to come up with the duty, duty thing. About Ferio having a queen.
"Sire, it is your duty to have a queen beside you…"
"Stop it Gavin!" said an irritated Ferio. "Look… that's why we have balls and visit other countries.."
"I know Sire, but you don't seemed interested in any of them."
"Don't worry Gavin… that day would come…" Ferio was about to leave and so was I when Gavin made us both stop.
"You have to forget her, Ferio. She's not coming back…"
Ferio did not look "what are you talking about…"
This time I stepped in. "Ferio you don't need to listen, we can go now." I walked again but stopped.
"Ever since they left, people outside think you guys never change but inside the castle we know… it's been six years… you know we did our best to contact them but the knights don't want to return or the chosen one who has the power doesn't wish to…"
"THAT'S ENOUGH!!!" I was surprised that I even did that. So did the others, but I stilled continued. "That will be enough. That subject would be closed and forgotten. Ferio would choose his own queen Gavin and that is all." With that I left the chamber.
End
I breathed once more. I remembered what Gavin said " or the chosen one who has the power doesn't wish to" wish to what I asked myself. To return? Is this the punishment?
"Hikaru… why did I leave you.." I asked to a faceless Hikaru
Just thinking of the guy who's making you smile, who's laughing with you, loving you and making you happy right now… makes me want to destroy him. That guy and him could not live in the same universe or world or anywhere. He wanted him to blast him off to the oblivion. Because Lantis knew that he could do that if he hadn't let her go.
"I just want to see you… to see if you are happy, Hikaru."
Then all of a sudden as it could be… Lantis blinked again to see if it was true. It was so clear. Impossible… but right away I felt their aura, her aura, Hikaru's… and it made him tremble to feel it again. I heard movement and so Ferio staring straight at it. The Pillar of Light.
End of chapter two. So did you guys like it? Well tell me huh. Just not to harsh reviews ok. Thanks! I'll update very soon.
