Kittychan: Hiya! Okay, I have some good news and bad news. Well, the good
news is, this is a really good fanfic. Why, because it doesn't have as much
of the romance so guys can read it but there still is some for the girls,
and it's based on Syaoran so there's a lot of action in it as well. The bad
news is, I won't be able to update until August 8. Sorry, I'm going away on
vacation but I thought I might as well update the story now.
^-^. Please, R+R and maybe if possible I'll be able to update more
chapters all the way from Vietnam!
Chapter 1- The End of the World
Syaoran slowly approached his mother's lifeless body with the eyes of all the elders surrounding them. He reached for his mother's hand and held it close to his heart. It felt so cold, not like the usual warmth that flowed through her fingers.
"Tell me what happen," Syaoran stated in a hollow voice.
"Now listen, Young one." One of the Elders spoke up.
"We know this is a hard time for you right now. It's always hard on the Li Clan when a member is killed." Another spoke up.
"I don't want your pity. I want an explanation." Syaoran repeated, with a hint of annoyance in his voice. His mother was dead and he wanted to know why.
"We are sorry. But there's nothing we can do to change what had happen." The same Elder spoke up.
"Tell me what the hell happen, damn it!"
There was an awkward silence until finally someone spoke up.
"Very well. Your mother didn't just die. She was murdered for a reason."
"And what reason justifies the sacrifice of my mother?!" There were now hot streams of tears down Syaoran's face, since he was unable to keep them contained like usual.
"There is a legend," one of the Elders continued, in a calm and slow voice. "one that was written many centuries ago. In early China, sorcerers were still able to read the stars, just like how we read books today. And they foretold that each of the eight planets, there is a spiritual guardian. Except for Earth because it was the only planet that could enable life.
Before, all the guardians were on good contact. They were forced to keep the peace between themselves or else the apocalypse would come."
"But what does that have to do with my mother?"
"Clow Reed was the original guardian for Earth but he somehow passed it on to another, a Chosen One. Your mother. And now, something has disrupted the peace and the other guardians had to turn against your mother, to make sure she wouldn't be in the way of their plans. We still have no evidences of what had caused it. But now, that she is gone, there is no to protect the Earth and they will plan to fight one another for the rule of Earth. Unfortunately, their battles will be the cause to the end of the World. Luckily, Clow Reed had already predicated all of this in his time and created a barrow around Asia, in hopes that Clans with magic, such as we, will be able to stop it before it spreads to the rest of the world. Western magic is not as strong as Eastern and is limited but it will help."
Syaoran tore his eyes away from the Elders. This was all too much. First the death of his mother, and then possibly, the death of the world. He kneeled down by his mother's side and rested his head next to hers.
"Now you must understand that this is a stressful moment for us and we must act quickly. Your four sisters have already been sent to North, South, East, and West of Asia. Places that the guardians will be sure to attack Earth. But their magic is not strong enough. So we will need you to be sent to the middle of Asia, and-"
"No." Syaoran cut off the Elder.
"What! You refuse to help your own clan for the fight of the world?!"
"No." Syaoran stood back up and took one last look at his mother. He took his sleeve and wiped his tears from his face. And then, he bent down, gave her one last kiss on her forehead. With that, Syaoran pulled the blankets over her, knowing daylight would never see her face again. So servant came in and carried her back to the temple for proper praying before burial.
"I will fight them." He added.
"Are you insane?! You fight, all eight guardians?! It's impossible for someone at your age and someone doesn't even own the Clow Cards!"
"Tell me Elder. Was it your mother they slaughter!?" Syaoran's voice echoed through the room. "Was it?! Was it her blood they spilled?! How would you feel if one morning, you walk into the room to find her on the floor like this?!!? Your mother! Who took care of you and was there when your father wasn't because he's already dead!!! Tell me,..tell me how would you feel?"
There was complete silence except for the booming thunderstorm outside and the soft thump of each raindrop on top of the roof.
"This is outrageous, you cannot defeat all of them!"
"Now calm down," another Elder spoke up.
"Calm down?! How?! This-this-this child thinks he can do what socerers was thought to be impossible!!!! I tell you, he's going to get himself killed!"
"What makes you think you will succeed?" the oldest of the Elders asked.
"My magic may not be strong but I deserve revenge." Syaoran replied.
"You must be careful young wolf. Sometimes, when you seek revenge, revenge will seek you. And you do realize that this will not bring back your mother."
"Her death was for the world. The least I could do is save it."
"You're not actually going to let him try, are you?!"
"Brother, you are over act to much. We all know Syaoran was bestowed with the most talents and magic he received from both his mother and father. And now, after spending years, protecting the Clow Cards, his magic has become even more powerful."
"This boy?!"
"This boy is chosen to be the next leader of the Li Clan. His powers are still developing but right now they are still strong."
"Young one, we will allow you to journey your quest but there are certain things you must know."
"I understand but thank you for allowing me. This is important." Syaoran bowed.
"Well either way, I have a suspicion you would have gone with our permission or not. First, of all you cannot kill the guardian or else that planet will die as well. That is why your time is limited. Without its guardian, the earth will cease to exit as well. To send the guardian back to its planet, your Derivator will do it. It will also help you detect where the next guardian is located. Fei-Hong will help you with transportation since your journey will require you to travel all over Asia. And this will come in handy."
"What?" Syaoran asked.
The elder took out a scroll and started to chant some words. White sparks started to form in front of Syaoran and began to take form. Syaoran could see the out line of some white animal, similar to a dog. When the Elder finished, there stood a perfectly silver wolf in front of him.
"A familiar will help you with your journey, and your family will be everywhere if your need assistant. We will report back you when we finish some research. And remember, each guardian has magic of its own so be careful."
"Thank you Elder. Now if you will excuse me, I have business to attain to." Syaoran replied as he left with his familiar following right behind him.
"Why did you let him go! Do you realize how dangerous it is for a boy his age?!?! He's only 17!! I swear Brother, you will get him killed!"
"Fei-Hong, please settle down. Now we need to contact the Fong clan, they will need to informed. And don't worry about Syaoran, he will be fine."
"This is not like you Brother! Since when have you become so understanding and easily persuaded? You know he will be killed!" With that Fei-Hong stormed back to his room to contact the leader of the Fong Clan. Yes Fei-Hong, I do know he will be killed. But that is exactly why I sent him. (evil chuckle) Let's see the lone wolf can survive this.
Kittchan: Ohhhh, cliff hanger but at least this chapter was only three pages. And once again, I am sorry to leave you hanging like this but I have to go on vacation. Gotta see my grandma again. So when I come back, which will be August 4, I promise to up load the next chapter. But wait for about three days to check, because I might be able to use the internet over there, okay? Thanks a bunch, bye!! And please excuse all spelling errors, I'm trying to type this up as quick as I can.
