I hear the sound of shattering...

He waited when she asked him to, worried at the way her voice sounded. Of the three, Hikaru had been the Knight he had been able to connect to, the one that frustrated him least. And he regretted every unkind thought and frustration. Had for some time. He owed them, all three of them.

So while he didn't understand what the pain in her voice had to do with his son, he answered cautiously, but honestly, anyway. "While I have been here, this past year, I have adopted a young boy, and made a family with him and his family. He is much like Prince Ferio, if you've met him." No, they couldn't have. He had just left them moments before he awoke. After a year, it was hard to remember that. "I think you'll like him." Well, both hims. Ferio and Link.

What did Hikaru mean by save her now? Oh! The legend. Well, that was before he had Woken, before he knew there were other ways. Besides, for all he knew, the Magic Knights were meant to be drawn from this world, not theirs. That could explain the confusion at the start. He owed them more forgiveness than ever if that was the case.

But she seemed too distraught for it to be just that. What was the matter? He reached into his cloak and came out with a cloth for her to use on her eyes, or just to hold, if need be.

They.... Have a very stunned mage, rocking back on his heels. They already defeated Zagato? But how? It had been minu.... Zelda Link and Shadow were all from different times. He knew that but somehow it hadn't sunk in, not fully. Hikaru was from further ahead than he was. How much further? If the Princess was safe, why was she so upset? The Princess had sent them home? Good. But... Once? Did that mean she went back to Ceiphro? Or did she mean this place would be where she needed to go home from this time? Wait, why wouldn't it give her pleasure to tell him that the crisis was at end and the world and pilliar were safe?

He walked closer when she dropped to his height, confusion and concern on his face as some part of his brain tried desperately not to hear her words. But those words... he staggered back, hearing them. It... No.... that couldn't be.... couldn't.... Emeraude summoned them to save her... that had always been their plan in case of emergency. Why would she attack her own knights? In love...with Zagato? But he kidnapped her! None of this made sense. None of it. He was unaware of the shocked expression on his face, or the tears running from his eyes. The knights... destroyed... the princess? She fell in love with her kidnapper and didn't want to be saved? How did this make sense? How did any of this make sense?

Clef stood there, and for once his brain failed him. There was no magic to fix this, no book to make sense of this. Nothing he could study to understand this. He didn't even hear the final words, the apology. He was just... stunned, standing there crying silently without even knowing he was crying. Because he didn't think she was lying...but it made. no. sense.
