INTRODUCTION Part 'Umi'
by Tina 'Chi-na' Plunkett
Date: June 30, 2000
The Forest of Silence, the place where man nor beast could protect oneself from
danger of monsters. Monsters that lurked around every corner and behind every tree. This was
the forest of every children's nightmare. Once one entered one was most assuredly never heard
of again. However, the locals of Cephiro would not dare to venture into the Forest of Silence.
It was a place their hearts had created before memory. It was a place of forbidden lusts,desires,
fears, and dark secrets. Magic could not even prevent the darkness of the Forest of Silence for
magic could not be cast upon entering the forest.
This place, the Forest of Silence, was the place of every children's nightmare. It was also
the place of Umi's nightmare. A nightmare that had come back with her after her first visit to
Cephiro. Umi's nightmare where she was left alone forgotten in a dark spot in the forest.
Alone, as a young child. The nightmare faded in her memory upon her second visit to Cephiro.
The nightmare was pushed back into her mind as her and the Magic Knights fought beside
each other to save the land of Cephiro for the second time. After returning to her world again
the nightmare resurfaced.
Each night Umi would go to sleep and every morning she would wake up with the
same feeling of emptiness, of being afraid. When she would awake the nightmare would fog
and details became blurred. She had had a nightmare and had been in the Forest of Silence
but what was troubling her? It was not the fact that she was in the forest. Perhaps because she
was alone.
Alone, one thing she feared above most others. To be alone in this world or any
other. Anyone would be frightened to be threatened with being alone forever especially in
the Forest of Silence. But there was something just below the surface of the nightmare she
could not remember. The nightmare was not complete. Perhaps she awoke each morning
before her mind was able to complete the nightmare. It was just a dream though. What
could be so important about a dream? Hikaru had had many dreams though. Hikaru had had
dreams of Nova and Debonair. Was this nightmare something of the future or something of
the past?
'A nightmare is just a dream stop being so childish,' Umi sighed and pushed back
her covers. A saturday morning sun beamed in through a window by her bed. Bird's in the
tree by her window chirpped in greating to the sun. Summer reminded her of Cephiro. The
Cephiro of her first visit. Blue skys with white fluffy clouds that hung suspended in the vast
sea of the sky. Floating islands drifted about lazily with no place to go.
'Cephiro...' Umi pulled her feet off the bed and placed them on the floor. Blue
house shoe slippers touched her feet as well as the cold hard wooden floor. 'A nightmare..'
Cephiro had been a nightmare as the world crumbled and fall. The inhabitants along with
their world could not survive without a pillar. A pillar that prayed for Cephiro at all times.
'Emerauld...' Guilt hit her like a crushing wave. Her head tilted forward to meet her
hands. Her voice, soft yet unsure because of the nights sleep, spoke softly into her hands.
"It wasn't fair..." Perhaps that's what happens in her nightmare. 'Do I relive it every night? Is
that my punishment?' Emerauld had not done anything wrong. She loved and she was not
alone. But because of that love she could not pray for Cephiro but she did not change the
system of the pillar. Why had she not changed the system of the pillar like Hikaru had?
Did Emerauld not trust the people of Cephiro to govern themselves?
No, that wasn't her nightmare. Somewhere Emerauld was happy now. 'Emerauld
is with Zagato now...' Umi pulled herself up from her bed and walked over to her window.
The sun shone brightly on the world before her. As bright as any day in Cephiro. Her mind
always returned to Cephiro. Even when in school she would drift off to Cephiro, her nightmare,
and the inhabitants of Cephiro.
The Cephireans...those who had helped the Magic Knights and those who had plotted
the distruction of their own land. Presea with her weapons and her twin sister who followed
in her footsteps after she had died. Ferio, the on Fuu missed the most, who had helped them
both times during their visits to Cephiro. It was he who was now the governing body of Cephiro.
Caldina who had first plotted against the Magic Knights and then had come to their aid. Lafarga,
Mokona both assest. Mokona the annoying pest who ended up being the creator of all five
worlds. If some religions only knew how annoying the creator actually was. A giggle escaped
her lips as Umi remembered chasing him around in the Forest of Silence. 'Yet again you think
about that place. What is so important about that place?'
Then there was Ascot who had a crush on her since the first visit. 'Ascoto...' Ascot
the bal or summoner who befriended some creatures one would not call monsters. He had even
used his will to make himself grow for her. He was a friend and a dear one but her heart wasn't
with him. Her heart was not with anyone, really. Ascot was nice but it could never happen
especially since he was in Cephiro and she was here on Earth.
Emerauld and Zagato who fought for love and died for it. Lantis, Eagle, Nova... they
were all there in her mind. Aska, Zazu, Geo, the sisters who constantly fought and cried, and
the ones who wanted to help those from the other three world become the pillar of Cephiro.
However Hikaru, little spunky Hikaru, had the greatest will of all and became the pillar. She
did what all the other pillars of Cephiro could not and changed the system.
There were so many people she meet that had kept her and the Magic Knights
company on Cephiro. They were the ones who helped her and who helped her keep the
nightmares at bay. The first few nights of restless sleep during the second visit Guru Clef...
'You've avoided thinking about him...' Umi turned from her window and opened her closet.
Cloths hung in neat rows with shoes below. Her old school uniform pushed to the back. Her
junoir high uniform. Her new senoir high uniform layed on her desk. It had just arrived in the
mail the other day. 'Your trying not to think about Cephiro again...'
Umi sighed and reached into her closet. Guru Clef had made her potions to help her
sleep and before that he would sit with her and talk. More importantly he listened to her. People
often talked to her but they didn't listen. Clef listened to her. If she had remembered her
nightmare while on Cephiro she would have told him. She would have liked to tell him anything
just to talk to him. He was so easy to talk to. Fuu and Hikaru were her friends but they weren't
as easy to talk to. Hikaru sometimes didn't get what she was saying and Fuu would always
come up with logical explanations. Fuu would understand but she always seemed preoccupied.
Clef had been ...free and willing to talk to her. 'Now your thinking an aweful lot about him...'
She pulled out a long blue dress with a white over coat from her closet and threw it on
her bed. A breeze drifted around the room from her open window and blew her hair back. The
usual headband that pushed back her hair layed on her dresser by her bed. Umi took the cloths
off the hangers and paused momentairly. 'Always blue as the sea...'
