Crescent Moons Festival was a very peculiar festivity but a festivity nonetheless. It begins when all three moons of Cephiro, Kislap, Kining and Kintab slowly enter the sky with their Crescent forms.The celebration ends at their last reign together in the sky. To begin this beautiful feast there was going to be a wedding inside the palace.

The wedding takes place in a beautiful Sky Hall. When people look above them, they see the sky and this Hall was astrologically built for the Crescent Moons Festival. Ivory pillars went up the sky. Surrounding them were walls decorated beautifully by seashells and corals. The ground was marbled. A red carpet was spread from the door to end of the hall. This was where white flowers decorated a little stage and where the first moon, Kislap, would show his beauty. There was a sign of serenity and unity in the empty patient altar… unlike the anticipating guests.

Clef was the first one to come out of the hall. It wasn't recognizable to everyone but he had grown. Maybe form age 12 he was now a little bit like a 15-year-old. Before the Guru left to walk to the altar, Lantis thought that Clef must have aged because of the game this afternoon. The Guru wore all white, which to everyone seems like normal because he always wears white. This time though, it was pure white, without the tint of purple and blue anywhere only his hair and eyes that seemed to glow silver for the event.

It was then Lantis' turn to walk on that red carpet and be criticized by everyone. Everyone had eyes admiring how handsome he is. Everyone was looking like they felt happy for the pair. Some people, those who where suspicious by nature, knew that it was the wrong choice. Lantis didn't mind those eyes. He only has to picture Hikaru's eyes and his doubts disappear. That's how love was, people say that love is blind. Lantis believes love can make see what your heart feels and not what everybody wants. He walked looking like the Black Knight everybody knew him, only now, their black knight was wearing gallantly his wedding robes.

Ferio followed after. He was carrying the sword of the Black Knight. Like everybody he was wearing formal princely clothes. This didn't seem unusual too because Ferio had always preferred light clothes. His face was the most serious among the three men. He wore his mask perfectly that nobody thought that he was heartbroken. Nobody knew anyway that he proposed and SHE declined. Only the Magic Knights who will probably leave the whole thing as a thing in the past. He walked and wished he could walk back because now his stomach was turning and he wished to cry.

Presea nodded as the men were finally at the altar. The musicians played their first notes and from the doors, out came petals dancing in the wind; raining happily on the crowd. Everybody gasped and then Fuu came out with a soft smile in her face as she concentrated on the dancing white petals.

When the bride came out everybody paused in awe. Hikaru stole everybody's breath and they were all mystified at her glowing beauty. People said that she wore a simple dress but her features and posture made her completely magical. She walked like she was floating and some people say that she might have been with Fuu's help. She waltz to the altar, held Lantis' hand for a second and winked at him before looking at Clef, their priest.

Clef thought that probably nobody saw Umi, who walked behind Hikaru. She humbly held her basket of flowers with two golden rings cushioned in the middle. She went beside him because he had asked her to help him in the ceremony.

Lantis took a deep breath as Clef talked to the crowd. His heart raced in excitement and joy. That wink Hikaru gave eased him and he kept that face in his mind. He caught a glimpse of her and enjoyed that one too. He said to himself that he would capture every glimpse of this moment and remember everything perfectly. He would have mind-pictures of how this day was perfect. As Hikaru walked towards him, Kislap started to shine in the Sky Hall and its moonbeams seem to shine towards his bride.

Lantis looked at the heavens and smiled.
