The Mastics
Disclaimer:I don't own CardCaptor Sakura, or Dragonheart.
By: Rune Goddess of Candy
A/n: Before you read the Mastics, I think I should explain some of it to you. This chapter is really more of a prologue then a chapter. I didn't know the name of Syaorans father or Meilings, so I just called Syaorans dad "Xiao Lang" and made up ''Ping" for Meilings father. If you know their real names or if I got Syaorans mother's name wrong, please tell me in a review or e-mail. This story is based on the movie "Dragonheart" and two enemies are going to fall in love instead of just being friends like the movie (its mainly based on Dragonheart, but is still pretty different), and since I couldn't make Sakura a dragon, a created the Mastics to represent them. They look like humans, but have wings and other additinal powers. The Mastics are kind of like that Vons mothers race in EscaFlowne(I haven't seen to much of it, so I can't remember what they're called). Humans and Mastics were at war, but right now theres just alot of tesion between the two races. If you've seen Dragonheart, you probally know why they're enemies, but if you haven't it will be revealed later. I tried to make it so the charaters from China or England were humans and the charaters from Japan were Mastics. The next chapter will take place 12 years after this, and Sakura, Tomoyo, Syaoran etc. will all be 15. Sorry those notes were so long. I have one more thing to add. Please write a review, and if you flame me, don't just say "You suck!" or something like that. Tell me whats wrong with it, and I'll try to fix it.
Li Xiao Lang was practicing fencing with his older brother, Li Ping. Xiao Lang had short brown hair and brown eyes. Ping had short black hair and the same brown eyes as Xiao Lang. Ping was much better at fencing then Xia Lang, but that didn't bother him. Ping and Xiao Lang were son of the King, and since Ping was older, he was heir to the throne.
Xiao Lang always looked up to Ping, and had faith that he would make a great king. Ping was about to beat Xiao Lang, when they heard screams from a nearby village. Curious, they ran to towards it and stopped at a hill right above it.
When they got there, they saw villagers fighting the Kings men. "Whats going on?" Xiao Lang asked. "It looks like a rebellion." answered Ping. Just as Xiao Lang was about to speak, Ping threw the button off his foil and ran towards the village. "Come on!" He yelled at Xiao Lang, in a tone that seemed almost excited.
With some hesitation, Xiao Lang took the button off his foil, and ran to the village, and started attacking villagers. He saw his father coming by horseback to the village, surrounded by his soldiers. Ping managed to grad a burning club and started setting rooves on fire when he noticed the King. The King gave an order and all the soldiers scattered around him, and started shooting arrows at villagers.
The King started to set up his bow, but got shot with an arrow as he was doing so. He fell of his hosre, into a pile of mud, which soon turned into a pool of blood. "Father!" screamed Ping, running to the king. Instead of mourning, he saw the crown and realized he was now king. Slowly, he grabbed it from the ground, and began to put it on his head, when he felt someone grab his arm.
Startled, he dropped the crown and saw that it was his half-dead father who grabbed him. The King then coughed up some blood, and fell. He was dead. Ping shoved his hand out of the way, and grabbed the crown. He placed it on his head, and slowly stood up, but felt a burning pain shoot through his heart as he did so. Someone had shot him with an arrow, the samee person who shot the king.
Xiao Lang saw what happened and screamed "Ping!". He ran over to his brother, and ordered a soldier to get help. They carried him Ping to the castle and got the kings doctor. Ping was wheezing and groaning. The doctor carefully pulled the arrow out, and examined the wound. "I'm sorry, but theres nothing I can do for him. His hearts been severly damaged, and hes 3 quarters dead already"
Xiao Lang was devastated by what he heard. What would he do if his beloved brother died? "Theres got to be something you could do! Your not even trying!" Xiao Lang would have yelled at him some more, but his black-haired wife, Yelan, walked in the room. "I know how you could save him." she said. "What is it, Yelan?" Xiao Lang desperatly asked. "There is an ancient Mastic technique that could fuse hearts and saved them. I'm not exactly sure how it works, but I know it does work and it would save your brother." She told them.
"The Mastics? Not that wretched demon race-" "If they're the only ones who can help, then we have no choice." Xiao Lang said, cutting off the soldier who help him earlier. He didn't like the Mastics very much either, but if they were his brothers life's only hope, then he was willing to except it. "Where do you have to go, Yelan?" he asked.
"You have to go to Juniper, the village where they live. I've never been there, but I know how to get there. We'll have to get Lord Ping there as quickly as possible." Yelan said. So she lead them to Juniper, doing their best to keep Ping alive and comfortable.
When they got to Juniper, the first thing they saw was a stone temple. They were in a hurry, so they didn't ask before going in. The temple appeared very old, and had a mysterious look to it. When they were in it, they saw a man with short brown hair and large, half-folded white wings. He was sitting on a stone chair and looked like he was expecting them. Next to him was a young boy. Before Xiao Lang could say anything, Yelan said, "Please forgive our intrusion, Lord Kinomoto, but this was an emergency. You see this boy was severely injured in a battle, and theres nothing our doctors could do about it. He is the heir to our throne, and the king was killed in the battle. We've heard about your heart-fusing technique, and are in real need of your aid. Please, we beg you to help us."
"Yes, it visit was forseen that you'd come. So tell me, why should we help you? With all this war, and everything else you humans have done to us?" Fujitaka asked. Xiao Lang got angry that he put the blame on humans,but didn't say anything. "Please my Lord. We need him. He has a wife and young daughter. Please help!" Yelan begged. "I have a very ill wife and young daughter too, but that never stops humans from these attacks."he said, but Fujitaka knew he was going to help. He had to. It was very important to Mastics that they kept peace between humans.
"Ok, we'll help you" Fujitaka said. The young boy next to him requested to speak with Fujitaka in private for a minute. "Father, do you really think this is a good idea? Theres something about that man I just don't like." he said. "I know Touya, but this is very important to us. We reall need to end this "war" with humans." Fujitaka answered his 10-year old son. "Do as you wish, but I've got a bad feeling about this." Touya said, and left to go to the village. After all, there was nothing he could do, his father was king. Fujitaka knew how good his son was at judging people, and hating going agaisnt his will on cases like these.
When he got back, he said "There is one condition you must agree on if we are to help him." "Anything! What is it?" Xiao Lang asked. "The injured one must promise not to be a cruel leader like his father. He must be a fair ruler, and do his best to serve his people." "He will! I assured you," said Xiao Lang. "No, he must promise." Fujitake said, pointing to Ping. At the edge of his life, Ping managed to choke out the words "I promise." Then he stopped breathing. He was dead.
"Hes Dead!" Xiao Lang exclaimed, shocked and furious. "All your stalling took to long. Now hes gone!" "Don't underestimate our heart fusing techniques. The power runs strongest in the royal blood line, but I may need alittle help. Peri!" Fujitaka said calmly, but quickly. A dark haired Mastic no one noticed before came out from a corner. Fujitaka said something to him to quitely to hear, and they both placed their hands on Pings heart. Peri seemed to be chanting something, while Fujitaka just seemed like he was concentrating on something.
They backed away. Ping opened his eyes and stood up. "Ping!" Xiao Lang exclaimed. "My lord, we are enternally grateful to you." Yelan said, gratefully. Everyone left, except Xiao Lang, who stayed and said, "Lord Kinomoto, I have trully seen a miracle. I am always at you debt, and I promise I will spread this around through my village." And he left. Fujitaka was glad this seemed to turn out alright, but he knew that this technique could sometimes be quite dangerous.
*******************The Next Day*******************
Ping wasted no time excepting his place as king. The first thing he wanted to do as king was punish the peasants who fought in the rebellion. When Xiao Lang walked into the village, he saw a line of the villagers who fought in the rebellion and heard Ping say "Burn their eyes with insence!".
"Ping what are you doing? What about the promise you made?" asked Xiao Lang, confused. "The hell with that promise!" Ping answered. Xiao Lang didn't understand what was going on. He knew his brother wouldn't do anything like this. Then it hit him. He rode his horse to the Juniper temple. It appeared to be empty. He ran inside it anyway, furious, and screamed "Mastic, you bastard! You've infected my brothers heart with evilness from your wretched demon race! I swear I will not let this pass! I will get my revenge on you, even if its through my only son! There will not be a villager in my kingdom that won't hear about what happened to their king!''. He spit on the ground and left.
A/N[again]: Sorry, I know that chapter was boring, but I needed to put it. Sakura, Syaoran and everyone will be in the next one. Please Review!
