Guru Clef is a very powerful magician. He tells the girls that they are the legendary Magic Knights and that they must save Cephiro. He also tells them that they can't go back to Tokyo until they save Princess Emeraude from an evil priest named Zagato. he tells them that the princess used the last of her strength to bring them here and that they can't leave because they don't have a way to get back.

Of course the three girls stay and become friends. Guru then gives them their magic abilities right on the spot. Unfortunetly, he is only able to teach Hikaru her ability before haveing to fight one of Zagato's minions. The girls escape and are instructed to find Presea in Forest of Silence.
