For those of you who haven't forgotten my other story (the perfect match). I am actually working on it (pinky swear). Anyways thanks guys and here's a slightly boring but I am really trying guys-Prologue. I don't own clamp and my grammar is not oxford worthy. That's a wrap.
PROLOGUE
The place where I live is completely dark... I sighed as I jumped across the stars once more. It is dark expect for the moon and...the stars. I sat idly on one of the stars...the scorching heat and light that emitted from it would kill a normal human but not me...I am the guardian of the stars and I control the elements. Sometimes though I wish I wasn't the guardian. It becomes awfully lonely with only the stars and the elemental cards keeping you company. Of course I loved my cards but-
Sometimes I look at earth and wonder if just for once...if I could go there and see what it's like... It would be great. I smiled as my visions showed me a little baby being born. Her mother looked very beautiful. The baby looked so peaceful. I wonder why I am seeing this though. Suddenly I felt like some unknown force was leading me there. I was in a castle. The mother looked so sad... I could feel her magic draining away. She summoned me...
"Hoshiko..." the woman smiled looking at me. Her smile was weak. But I tried my best to smile back but how could I...she was dying. "You called me" I said. "Yes... I need your help" she said. She continued without letting me speak "My life is almost to end... I gave up all my life to Sakura and now, she will live a long life but as I speak the castle gates are being plundered by demons. My husband fights them. My son has run away from here... he foresaw some things. I don't know where he is but he lives...but Sakura-"her eyes filled with tears as she looked at the baby. "She cannot meet this end...she is the destined child who will frees these lands. I will most certainly die. I want you to take my child to Clow and tell him what happened" my eyes widened at her words. Clow but... he is greatest mage of all land...why would he take this mere human child.
"Because she is the destined child and also because...she is my child" the woman read my mind. "Why me though?" I asked. "You and Sakura are connected. Soon you will feel happy...and you will never be alone again. You are Hoshiko- you are the star child. You were born to protect Sakura" she said. My eyes widened as I saw visions of the future blind me. All the time the woman smiled at me knowingly. "Now you know...so please escape from this place...go" she pleaded breathing heavily. I nodded wide eyed. "Nadeshiko-san-"she looked up to meet my golden eyes. "Thank you for giving me my happiness" I said. "Sakura will save a lot of people, I will watch over her from the heavens above" she said. Just as she said those words the baby cried.
"Nadeshiko sama... they are here" a panicked young girl came in bursting through the door. " I know..." she smiled once again. Why was she smiling so much? "We must escape... kime-sama" she walked over to where we were. She couldn't see me...she was only human. But very beautiful with scarlet hair. Nadeshiko caressed her wet cheeks and a golden light came from her hands and the child fainted.
"I erased her memories...now take both of them leave for the kingdom. Meet Clow. He knows everything" she said "Also..." she kissed the baby on her forehead "Me and your father and your brother always have and always will love you Sakura" she said and she gave me the baby her hands trembling. "Leave now" she cupped her mouth as her whole body trembled with sobs. I felt sorry for her but such was her fate.
I heard a loud thud and smell of smoke. I summoned my flying carriage and carried both the children and drove away. I looked down on the horror before me. Kinomoto kingdom was destroyed. Bodies burnt, bloodied. Horses and men being eaten by demons...will Nadeshiko-san's body be eaten. I felt a shiver run down my spine. Suddenly I flew higher with more speed so that the demons don't spot me or the children.
It was almost dawn when I reached the moon castle. I flew over to Clow Reed's study where I knew he would be. His whole existence was an enigma. I flew down into the room with the two sleeping girls and I saw the spectacled man regard me with an almost identical smile to Nadeshiko.
"In the end she cried didn't she?" he said almost as if he were expecting me. "Yes..." I said. "You saw the future didn't you?" he asked. I set the older girl on a chair and cradled the baby. "Yes" I was smiling too. "Are you okay to leave this form" he asked. "Absolutely" a big smile on my face. He smiled at me and stood up. I gave him the child...
He rested a hand on my head and I began to glow...my whole existence felt so...liberated. I shrank into a small star key that nested against the child's neck.
Sakura...lets be best friends ne?
