Chapter 1, A Hope and Haruka's Prologue

Haruki doesn't know me anymore, he has forgotten all of us. Me, Storm, Jade, Meph, Rose, Alex, Asami-chan, Yue, Lita, Ella, Lucia, Flora and Rue, Tetsuya as well.

"Aria, you okay?" Dia asked as I sat down in the guild hall.

"Not in the slightest." I answered.

"What do we do, is there no way we can get him to remember us?" Rose asked.

"I want to know too. Haruki... when we get home to the mansion he barely speaks or looks around with the natural sparkle in his eyes." Yue said as she sat down beside me looking like she's about to cry.

"Nothing we do gets him to recall anything." Jade said. "We've tried it all but no response."

"Haruki... I really can't bear to look at him in this state." Neph said.

"Isn't there any way we can get him to remember?" Rue asked.

"Lita don't you know a way?" Lucia asked her.

"I'm really sorry, but this is something even I can't tamper with." She answered.

"Why not?" Alexi asked her.

"I-I..." I noticed something, lately she's been restless and worried.

"It's alright Lita." I told her and held her hand. "We can't rely on your power too much, relying on Haruki's power alone is what got us here in the first place."

"I have to agree." Master said.

"There might be way... to remind Haruki of who he is." Leo, who has opened his gate said. He often opens his gate on his own now that Haruki can't.

"There is?!" We all exclaimed.

"But it's very dangerous just getting to that place." Aquarius, who appeared behind him said.

"That place?" I asked. "Were is it?!"

"The place shrouded in the mist of ancient mysteries." Virgo, who appeared dressed in maid clothes said.

"The Hero's Altar." Cancer, who appeared answered.

"The Hero's Altar?" Lucia echoed.

"In the Hero's Forest, beyond the winding maze of trees, shrubs and mist, a single structure lies, the Hero's Altar. Gather the Taiyo, Tsuki, Daichi and Hoshi, when the four gather, with a long wish and an undying bond, a miracle is granted." Sagittarius said.

"Where is the Hero's Forest?" Jade asked.

"In the place where the Sun and Moon cross and the Stars and Earth join, a single light shines." Ares answered. "A lone island within the skies."

"We'd have to search the skies you mean." Rose asked and shw nodded.

"Gather the Taiyo, Tsuki, Daichi and Hoshi and before the altar, make a wish, if your bond with Haruki is strong enough, you should be able to restore his memories." Alrescha and Alpherg said.

"What are the Taiyo, Tsuki, Daichi and Hoshi?" Flora asked.

"Taiyo means Sun, Tsuki means Moon, Daichi means Earth and Hoshi means Star." Asami-chan answered. "Could they be refering to the those?"

"Those?" Rue echoed.

"In the Aerial Isles there's a legend." Tetsuya answered. "It's very old."

"What is that legend?" Storm asked.

"Long ago, when in times of great need, the Sun, Moon, Stars and Earth would become flesh and protect the people of this world." She said and we didn't quite understand it. "I'll explain. Long ago, the Hero fought with comrades by his side, the Hero has always been the Moon, the one that shined during the darkest of hours. The Sun, was someone who brings light when the Hero wasn't there, someone who could bring a smile on everyone's face, the Star is someone who could guide the people and the Earth was someone who connected people together, even if they were apart."

"So, what does that mean?" Neph asked.

"Sun, it means someone who is cheerful and bright, Moon, someone who doesn't give up even in the darkest times." She enumerated. "Star, someone who can guide the people and the Earth is someone who can connect everyone."

"They represent the four things, Sun is Hope, Moon is Resolve, Earth is Bond and Star is Leadership." Libra said as she aooeared, dressed in a golden dress with detached sleeves. "It means Hope in the trying times and a Resolve to move forward with the Bond of the People and a Leader to guide the way."

"What does that have to do with Haruki?" Alpha asked.

"Haruki... is our Moon!!" I exclaimed. "Ever since he joined us, he's always the one who never gives up!!"

"Precisely, you have the first key to restroing him, someone who never gives up." The Twins, Gemini, said. "All you need is, someone who smiles even in the face of danger, somone who has a sense of leadership and someone who connects the people."

"Who are the people we are refering to?" Rose asked. "As far as I know, the one who has been connecting us is..."

"Haruki." I finished.

"You got it. Haruki has been the one uniting the people so far." Capricorn answered. "Find the remaining two, one with a sense of leadership and one who cam still smile despite countless hardships."

"That's hard." Storm said.

"It's someone related to Haruki. The four will always revolve around each other." Scorpio answered. "Sun, Moon, Earth and Star, the four revolve around each other, together they create the Galaxy we live in."

"Is that so?" Chryso asked and they smiled.

"Find someone who could still smile despite countless trials and someone with a strong sense of leadership." Libra smiled. "When you do, you'll be able to save Haruki."

"We're going to do it!!" I exclaimed. "We'll definitely find them!!"

"Yeah!!" Everyone exclaimed.

Wait for us, Haruki. We'll definitely save you and find Haruka. So, please wait for us, you two. If there's a hope, we will grasp it with our hands for Haruki and Haruka.

My eeys flutter open, I'm in a room I've never seen before. I turned to the side and a girl was was sitting on a chair, her upper body strewed across the bed, looks like she's asleep. Her silver hair strewn pver her white skin.

"Hmmmm... W-what time is it?" Her voice spoke, she got up, looking a little drowsy. "Hmmm? You're finally awake!!"

She immediately got up and exclaimed. She fixed her hair immediately.

"Umm... where am I?" I asked her but she just shook her head.

"Sorry, I don't understand Southern Language." She said and I wasn't too surprised.

Wherever I am, the Southern Language isn't common. Maybe I'll speak Northern Language then.

"Um, I was asking where I am." I said and she still shook her head.

"Wait here if you understand what I'm saying, I'll call our village chief, she speaks all four languages."

She dashed out from the room and I simply lied there. Haruki, wait a bit for me, I'll come back to you soon so please hang in there.
