Prologue

"Key that hides the power of darkness, show your true form before me! I, Clow Reed, command you under contract, RELEASE! "

A large light emanates from the small necklace, revealing a long staff with a sun at the end . A man stepped forward, and grabbed the staff in mid-air.

The man holds up the staff to the night sky, and closes his eyes. The staff begins to glow, while a large circle appears below the mans feet. Strange designs appear inside the circle, and the man begins to chant.

"Power of the staff, hear me! Grant me the power!"

At this chant, he raised the staff to its full height, and multiple blank cards appear around him in a large circle. The cards begin spinning, one by one stopping as he calls out names.

"Power of The Arrow, Power of The Big, Power of The Bubbles! " Three cards stops spinning, and names and pictures appear, along with the magic circle surrounding the man on the back of the card.

"Power of The Change, The Cloud, and The Create! Give me The Wind, The Dash, and The Dream! "

Six cards stop, gaining the same design on the back with different pictures up front.

"Power to The Earthy! The Erase, The Fight, The Fiery, The Float, The Flower, The Fly, and The Freeze! Give me your power under our contract!"

As more and more cards were called out, more and more seemed to glow with their own powers. To him, they seemed to be dancing with joy, just as a mother would with her new born child. Thats what he felt like, the creator of new beings. He gently smirked, thinking of all the other names for his creations.

"Power to The Glow, and The Illusion! The Jump, The Libra, and The Wood!" The staff by now had grown extremely tall, now focusing all its power towards these single cards. The man had listed off everything he could think of. He had two cards remaining when he had run out of ideas when the bright sun began to shine brightly over the hill of his backyard. He smirked, now having a thought to his last two and strongest card. For these two cards he had little magic power left. In order to create such cards and put them into this world, it would require a precious amount of magic supply. Magic only that of Clow Reed obtained.

"Key of Darkness, grant me one last wish! Lend me the power of The Light and The Dark!"

As the sun rose up top the hill, a bright white light that could be seen from miles away shone over the entire city of Tomoeda. All the small buildings were overtaken by it, and all the people wondered what was happening that could make the morning sunset mysteriously magical.

The tall man then fell on to one knee as the staff slowly shrunk back to its normal size. The 52 cards begun to descend towards Clow, as he held out his hand to welcome them.

He smiled softly at the new creations, and held them up to his heart as if to keep them warm from the cool winter morning. As he closed his eyes and began to mutter an incoherent spell, then reached into his garment and placed two feathers in front of him. One feather was purely white, while the other was more of a golden lions mane shade. Clow merely spoke a single word and the two feathers rose up and expanded.

Many feathers began to form out of the two feathers as if they were multiplying. Soon. both versions of the feathers had formed into two large buds. Light emanated from the buds, and the magical circle of The Clow surrounded both buds. First, the golden buds opened, and out popped a large cat like creature. It had four large paws, a small nose with large eyes and small ears, along with two wings perched on its back.

Next, the pure white feathered bud opened. Out came a human like creature with a mysterious smug look on his face. He had long white hair, braided, and a somewhat skin tight robe that went down all the way to his barefoot feet. Both creatures floated down towards their new master and creator, Clow Reed. Clow nodded to them, and they bowed their heads in respect.

"Welcome, my children. I do hope that I have not made it difficult for you in these forms?" asked Clow. Confused looks were given to him, but were forcefully pushed back as they remembered who they were dealing with. Clow motioned towards the cat like creature, and it slowly made its way to Clow. Clow placed his hand on the cat and closed his eyes.

"You, are the beast of the seal, guardian under the sun's protection, light of its own kind, Keroberos."

Clow's hand began to glow, and a strange light was forcefully pushed into the felines head and surrounded him until his whole body lit up. Clow then motioned for the human like creature to come forth. As he walked to Clow, he closed his eyes and knelt in respect for his creator. Clow smiled, as he gently placed his hand on the man's head.

" You have a great respect for your creator, but feel nothing of a slave, for you are my child and not one to be owned. You are the Judge, the guardian under the reflecting light of the moon, depending on those who care for you for your strength, Yue." A light began to emitt from his hand, as Yue was filled with the energy given to him by Clow. Yue and Keroberos both began to ascend into the air as their wings spread apart. The feathers of both wings sparkled in the sunlight as if they were made purely from silver and gold.

" Now, Keroberos and Yue are both apart of my seal! GIVE TO THEM THE POWER OF THE CLOW! "

With that, two circles formed under the bodies of Yue and Keroberos and began to shine brightly, lighting up the young sky of Tomoeda. The circles soon started to spin, and both creatures were engulfed by the light to where there was but a simple pedestal of light coming from both circles. A small, firefly like being began to separate itself from both creatures, and joined together in the middle in the two lights. Clow held out his hands high, and the small light began to darken, and took on the shape of an emerald green stone. The stone shone with a beautiful sheen, and was the size of two hands joining together. It fell gently into the place of Clows hands, and he carefully placed it into the pocket of his cloak, and began to continue his work.

Suddenly, the light disappeared. The creatures descended from their place in the sky and landed safely at the foot of Clow Reed. Clow simply smirked. As he gazed upon his new creations, both the cards and the two guardians, and couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment. He had created, with his own magic, a new type of magic. New creatures, whom all would eventually make new friends. Each and every card, would one day belong to not only him, but also to another one, much more worthy of them then him.

" All in time...yes...all in time..." he thought to himself.

After a slight prayer to the gods and thanks for the power they had bestowed upon him, he lay against the bark of a Sakura tree and let sleep take him.

" The Sakura tree..Sakura tree... where all good things arise and are reborn..."

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Ok, I know it's a short chapter, but come on! I'm just getting started! Besides, It's only the prologue. I just want to see if people are actually interested in reading my story. It's all a "'judging by the books cover" thing. If people don't review and send me some good comments about this thing I call a story, then I simply will have to rewrite it and work harder at it!

Please forgive me for any spelling mistakes I may have had. I'm not that good of a speller, and I suck at literature, so , I really don't mind any burns. Just go easy on me, please?
