  Chapter 7, Section B: Pointless Loss: The Tale of the Magic

Hmm. "Pointless" may be right...

  Emeraude fell to her knees and began to sob. "What--what have I 
done? What...I almost did grave harm to this world...I've been 
foolish..."
  Zagato knelt beside her and embraced her. "It is alright, my love.
"
  "So, it's over?" Umi asked.
  Emeraude looked up, and nodded. "Thank you, Magic Knights. Thank 
you. You have truly saved Cephiro."
  Umi frowned. "Then send us back to our world."
  Emeraude was saddened. "Yes, of course...I apologize for 
everything I have put you through..."
  Umi didn't answer, except to scowl. Fuu did not look particularly 
pleased either.

Nor I, I have to admit. I don't know much about MKR, besides the bits in 
the Animerica article a few months back. (There are starting to be enough 
MKR references cropping up that I suppose I really need to learn some 
more about it. <g>) Was the original end in the story this abrupt? The 
'it was all essentially for nothing' ending is really hard for me to 
swallow without quite a bit of preparation, so I felt somewhat cheated at 
this point in the story.

I've enjoyed the rest of what you've done with it so far; waiting to see 
what happens next... :)
