The Magic Knights are a little hesitant to enter her home uninvited, but proceed inside calling unanswered apologies. At first they are unable to find an entrance, but then the three girls accidently stumble across it. Entering further into the woods, they encounter what appears to be the home of Presea. At first Hikaru is confused, but after attempting to use her magic 'arrow of fire', she realizes along with her new-found friends that magic can not be used in such an forest. Finding themselves at the opening of a dense forest, the Magic Knights step inside, but the griffin that had transported them there mysteriously disappears in a puff of smoke. Hikaru, Umi, and Fuu's thoughts turn to finding Presea, maker of weapons. The Magic Knights are able to escape, thankful for their safety. Determined to survive and save the world of Cefiro Hikaru summons the power within herself and counter-attacks Zagato's minion with a new found strength, becoming the first to find her magic. Alecone appears riding her magical white horse through the air, calling incantations. Suddenly, from behind Dosh Clef, the evil priest Zagato appears, and turns the powerful Clef to stone.ДЄboard the griffin Hikaru senses that something is wrong as she thinks of the sorcerer that had risked his life to help them, but helpless she can only pray for his safety. Alecone leaves Clef to pursue Hikaru and the others, in hopes of ending the Magic Knights before the legend can be fulfilled. Reluctantly the Magic Knights agree to escape as Clef challenges Alecone, in an even battle.

Yelling the incantation 'Summon beast!' Clef commands the three to board the magic griffin and escape to the safety of the forest where they will meet Presea, a gifted maker of weapons. Upon hearing Hikaru's eager response Clef raises his staff to give the newly found Magic Knights their magic, but has only time to bless Hikaru as they are attacked by Dosh Clef's now evil apprentice, Alecone. Hikaru is the first to respond exclaiming that she is willing to sacrifice in order to become a Magic Knight. Since the princess had been captured, the land of Cefiro has been plagued by monsters and demons, and will soon deteriorate if Emeraude Hime fails to be returned.

Introducing himself as Dosh (loosely translated as 'master') Clef, a powerful user of magic, he explains that Hikaru, Umi, and Fuu are the legendary Magic Knights, destined to save the world of Cefiro whose captured ruler, Princess Emeraude, is in the posession of the dark priest Zagato. However, Hikaru, the smallest of the three, suggests an introduction.ДЇuu and Umi are at first shocked to find Hikaru the same age as themselves (which is 14 years), for her young appearance is misleading, but their attentions quickly turn to the figure of a rather short man holding a magical staff that had appeared behind them. The three young girls are brought to safety on land, still confused as to their whereabouts. Falling, they land upon a seemingly friendly flying fish. Suddenly there is a flash of light as they hear the prayer of a young woman calling for help from the legendary 'Magic Knights', and the three find themselves suspended in mid-air over the land of Cefiro, filled with mountains and forests. Trying to pass through, Hikaru glances towards a girl with long blue hair, again from an neighboring school. Hikaru rushes to thank the girl, but is stopped by a crowd of students.

Running out of money at the Tokyo tower telescope, Hikaru is given change by a mysterious young girl, later introduced as Fuu, wearing a neighboring school's uniform.

Magic Knight Rayearth is the story of three regular school girls, Hikaru, Umi, and Fuu, whose lives are forever changed at what would be an ordinary school outing.
