The Birth of the Legendary Magic Knights! is the first episode of the Magic Knight Rayearth anime.

Story[]

During a field trip at Tokyo Tower, three eighth-graders from three different schools are transported to another world called Cephiro.

After introductions are made, the girls are met by Master Mage Clef, who informs them that they were brought to Cephiro by its Pillar, Princess Emeraude, who has been imprisoned by the High Priest Zagato, and that Cephiro has since become unstable and infested with monsters. Clef further informs them that until they become the Magic Knights and save Cephiro, they cannot return to their world. Since none of them know magic, Clef bestows it upon them and begins teaching Hikaru.

Watching from his fortress, Zagato sends Alcyone to stop the Magic Knights. Clef sees Alcyone, and she attacks. He blocks the attack and fends off Alcyone as he sends the girls away on a griffin. His last command is for them to go west to the Forest of Silence, to Presea's home.

Alcyone goes after them, while Clef thinks about how they would do against Zagato. At that moment, Zagato shows up and fires a spell at Clef. Clef is turned into stone, and Zagato's spell manages to break the ground around him. Clef begins to fall off the cliff.

Alcyone charges towards the three. After a few attacks, Hikaru finally stands up and uses her "Fire Arrow" spell to defeat Alcyone.
