Suddenly a bright light flashed in their eyes and they fall from the sky in another world called Cephiro. They met Master Mage Clef which explains to them that they were called for Cephiro to become Magic Knights to save Princess Emeraude, the voice they heard back in Tokyo. Master Mage Clef gave each of them power in which they must possess in order to be the Magic Knights.
Hikari, Umi and Fuu first need to go to presea the Master Smith to create their weapons, in which only themselves can touch it. They start their journey with the guidance of Mokona where it supplies all the things and informations they need.
In Cephiro, one's will has the ability to change reality for better or worse. The dark fears in people's hearts become monsters, while a well-intended wish can do miracles. One person, the Pillar, whose will is stronger than anyone else's, is responsible for maintaining through her prayers the well-being of Cephiro.
In the first story arc, the current Pillar, Princess Emeraude, has been captured by her high priest, Zagato. The three girls are charged with the task of saving the Princess by activating the three Rune-Gods . They are given a bizarre creature named Mokona to guide them on their journey. When the girls finally reach Emeraude, they learn that she had fallen in love with Zagato, hindering her ability to pray solely for Cephiro's well-being, and had summoned the Magic Knights to kill her since no one on Cephiro could harm the Pillar.
The second story arc deals with the complications caused by the first season's climax: three warring planets have begun their attempts to conquer Cephiro and a new Pillar must be chosen before the whole planet is destroyed. Hikaru, Umi, and Fuu are once again summoned to Cephiro. In the manga it is later discovered that the mysterious Mokona is responsible for their being summoned back to Cephiro, and he is, in fact, the creator of both the Earth and Cephiro. In the anime they return to Cephiro because of their (especially Hikaru's) strong desire to do so.
Eventually, Hikaru is chosen to become thenew Pillar. However, she rebels against the Pillar system, deciding that the fate o
f the planet should not be the responsibility of only one person, effectively preventing that person from ever being able to live and love freely.Hikaru, Fuu and Umi return to earth leaving everything and everyone behind, even their loved ones.

She doesn't want to experience another failure of a person who can't love freely like Princess Emeraude, that caused the Cephiro in a destruction. She wants to have freedom to all the people of Cephiro to do everything they want and to feel whatever they need to feel.

She also disagree of becoming one of the Magic Knight. She don't listen to any word Master Mage Clef was saying. And the worst is that she says bad words to the master mage.
She was scared to fight the monsters at first, buthen she saw that Hikaru and Fuu were greatly and mercilessly wounded by the second attempt of Alcyone to kill them, she became angry and gather all her strength to fight Alcyone. She then become a fiery yet beautiful and elegant knight.
In their fight with the young Ascot, she scolded him that he must not follow the orders of Zagato if he really love and treasure his monster friends. If truly he loves them then he should not let them get hurt. Umi learned that Ascot's monster friends were being discriminated that's why Ascot doesn't have the self-esteem to befriend with other people and also the reason why he loves his monster friends so much.

On their quest to the Forest of Silence that leads them to the place of the Escudo, they met a young and handsome but mysterious swordsman named Ferio.
Ferio help them in fighting the monsters in the forest because they were not skilled enough to face those monsters. He also told them that they might need them in finding the Eternal Spring. But the girls assured him that they can find it by themselves. Actually they have their doubts in the intention of Ferio in helping them.
Ferio first told them that he is just a hunter in search of a monsters. But later on, he told them that he just need them to find his place out of the forest. Hikari and Umi has still doubts of Ferio. Fuu analyze Ferio very well and clearly tell the truth about his real intention.
That day, Fuu realized that Ferio had already made a spot in her heart. And she thinks that Ferio also has the same effect of her in him for he gave Fuu a token i nwhich he said can grant a wish.

Fuu, on the other hand, was shocked that Ferio could do this kind of thing to them. But when they were almost swallowed by the sand, Ferio saved them. Because of this, Ascot made Ferio as a hostage in freeing the magic knights. That night, Fuu couldn't sleep because she was thinking about Ferio. Fuu alone decided to rescue Ferio from Ascot. She managed to save Ferio and before they continue on their journey, Ferio confess his love to Fuu.
at first, it is a very sad love story of Princess Emeraude..
the Pillar can't love anyone because (s)he can lose her focus in Cephiro and that's the reason of the destruction of Cephiro..
I am a bit mad at Zagato, but I learned that he desire to kill the magic knights because he don't want the magic knights to kill Princess Emeraude.
wow! what a teary-eyed and touching love story they have..
not free to love anyone?..
it hurts :(
