*Beautiful music sung in Japanese but in this case translated into English for the reader's understanding*
Soar High, Suzaku, Miracle la...
The legend begins to unfold
And the real me inside unfurls
The distant echo of "I love you"...
...leads me to you
My awakening soul shines...
...in this other world
Oh, what can I do now...
for the one I love?
There are no dreams that can't come true.
I believe in what lies ahead
because I believe that love...
Will save us every time
Open yourself to eternity
To our mysterious play.
*Singing ends*

The Mysterious Play

Miaka Yuuki, a typical Jr. high student is studying for her high school entrance exams, is that young girl, the Priestess of Suzaku. One day her & her friend Yui go to the national library so Yui can return a book. Miaka, while waiting for Yui, decides to grab a snack at the nearby vending machine. She drops her coin and when she reaches to pick it up, she sees a bird. She follows the bird up the stairs to another room of the library that is off limits to most people. When Yui finds Miaka here, she askes what she is doing. Miaka tells of how she saw the strange bird. They argue about the bird for a few minutes until they pick up one of the books & start looking when Miaka sees the picture of Suzaku she recognizes the bird. Soon after the two are pulled into the book & so begins the story of The Universe of the Four Gods . . .
