Utterly gobsmacked Zagato raised his chin to look down on this...Clef with confusion and suspicion. Was this actually Clef?

"You are the Master Mage of Cephiro and you do not know the full Legend of the Magic Knights?"

This made no sense at all. Clef knew as well as he and Lantis what would happen when any Pillar of Cephiro called for the Magic Knights. He had been instructor to all of them, had taught them the legend... yet he had forgotten it? Maybe that sealing spell had been too powerful, the diminutive mage seemed to have lost his senses from using too much of his will to break free of it.

Zagato took a deep breath and pressed his hand against the barrier that held him and while he could not break it neither did it push him aside. He couldn't believe he was about to do what he was about to do... give a history lesson to the man who had taught him all this knowledge years before.

"The duty of a Pillar is to pray for the safety of Cephiro. When the Pillar is no longer able to fulfill that duty he or she can summon the Legendary Magic Knights. Their only goal is to save Cephiro by killing the Pillar and allowing a new one to be chosen in their place."

Favoring this Clef with a disparaging look as he attempted to decide if he was an imposer or a pitiable fool who had forgotten the single most important thing in their world's history Zagato pressed upon the shield, giving a meager attempt to warp it to his will.

"Only the Legendary Magic Knights can kill the Pillar."
