Prologue
A Shadow
Dark, ominous clouds of rain covered the skies above. Cries of children could be heard over the sound of clashing metal. A man dressed in black velvet was fighting a strong, burly soldier. A woman on horseback nearby was holding a small child in front of her and a young boy behind her, the boy's arms tight around her waist. She gave one last glance at the kingdom she had called home, and at the man fighting the soldier. Tears ran down her as she kicked the horse into a gallop and raced into the forest. The woman was Queen Nideshiko Kinomoto, wife to King Fujitaka Kinomoto of the Kinomoto Kingdom, who now was fighting to the death to save them.
They soon neared their hiding spot. It was a small cave, able to fit a small family of their size. The cave was a small burro on the side of a cliff near the edge of the forest. Nideshiko leaped gracefully off the large bay horse, cloak covering her quivering form. Her son, Prince Touya, leaped down after her, his cloak covered his calm, still form of a boy of twelve years of age. He then helped the small child, his younger sister, Princess Sakura, who was only six. The children raced into the cave and to cower in a corner. Queen Nideshiko stood outside the entrance of the cave, looking out to the horizon, searching for her husband.
A minute later King Fujitaka rode up of a large gray Belgian and dismounted. He embraced his wife in a strong hug. She began to cry on his shoulder, "Why, Why?"
He pulled her from him and looked her in the eyes, "Go to the children. They are coming."
Fujitaka turned Nideshiko's limp form in the direction of the children. She quickly walked to them embracing each. She whispered into each of their ears comforting words. To her son she whispered, "I'm going to help your father. If anything happens to us, run, run and don't look back. Run until you get to the city. Help your sister, for she will not understand. Find work and provide for her. Live." With that she kissed his cheek and exited the cave.
She drew her blade at her side and stood next to her husband. He cast her a long side glance before hissing through clenched teeth, "What are you doing? Get back to the cave with the children."
"They are fine," she spoke back as the first soldier rushed them and raised her sword. Soon after, twenty men surrounded the couple. Two men shoved Fujitaka to his knees and two more grabbed Nideshiko and twisted her arms behind her back.
Touya tried to cover Sakura's eyes, but failed as the girl ran to the mouth of the cave, just to see her father being beheaded by a soldier who had one brown eye, one blue, and her mother, a sword through her gut and back. The soldiers dropped the two bodies, taking the head of Fujitaka. She ran back to her brother with tears in her eyes, to see her brother's own face covered in tears. He took her small hand in his and the ran out of the cave as they heard a soldier bark an order for the children to be fond.
Touya ran as fast as his legs would take him, Sakura=s feet could barely touch the ground, but she dared not to stop her brother now. He quickly hid them in a new hiding spot, a hollow tree. There they stayed until the soldiers finally had left the forest. They returned to their parents and buried them. They were going to the city.

Her parents were one of the last known members of Clow. Clow was the only organization to fallow the prophecy. They knew that evil would arrive in the future and created an group of people to bring together the Sun and Moon. The group was formed by the grandchildren of Clow Reed: Satoshi, Kasumi, Tetsuro, and Hotaru. The families stayed close keeping Clow a mystery. This was until the 150 grandchild of Kasumi, Meiou, revealed the organization. A small number of the 3598 members claimed to the public of their views.
The High Kings of the world thought that the prophecy saw them as them as the evil that would arise. The known members of Clow were hunted and killed. Nobody was going to destroy the leaders of the world.
No member was safe and not all could be trusted to not speak their names of fellow members. They were tormented and put under spells before they were killed.

Six years later:
A man with hair so dark-brown that made it look black; and brown eyes sat next to a beautiful child of twelve. Her waist-long auburn hair and sweet emerald eyes caught any man's gaze. Both wore cloaks that were the best quality of a cloth that could be bought by a slave. All the passing soldiers looked at her with a burning lust in their eyes. She shuttered and inched closer to the man that sat next to her. "It's okay Sakura, I won't let anyone hurt you," the man whispered into her ear as he placed a protective arm around her shoulders.
Shouts echoed through the streets as soldiers ran and pushed people out of the way. They stopped in front of Touya and Sakura. "Are you Touya?" asked a burly looking soldier.
"Yes I am. Why?" Touya asked protectively stepping in front of Sakura.
"You're under arrest under the charge of betrayal to the kingdom." Two soldiers grabbed Touya and one pulled Sakura away. "You are going to be hanged." A sneer passed over his lips. Sakura didn't recognize the man at first, but after looking at his face, she gasped in horror. The man had one brown eye, one blue eye. This was the man who had slain her parents not six years ago. Sakura managed to escape her captor's hold and lung at the murderer with the knife that she kept in her boot.
The man gripped her wrist and painfully twisted it. As she doubled over, the man threw her to one of the soldiers behind him. He returned his attention back to Touya. "Filthy Kinomoto scum. I don't know how you two escaped those years ago, I really don't. See," he pointed the knife he had taken from Sakura at Touya, "I have been looking all over the lands for you." He flipped the knife in the air above him and then caught it again, "but only to find out that you were in the city all along!" He laughed evilly, "To think that the great General Zhang spent six years of his life looking for children!"
Sakura struggled with her newly-appointed captor, succeeding to kick his in his groin before running. Zhang scowled before ordering soldiers to go after her.
Sakura led the soldiers down a crowded ally, before taking a shortcut through the butcher's shop. She ran down the next alley adjacent to her brother. She got in hearing range.
"You know why I killed you parents?" Zhang tauntingly spoke. Touya sucked in breathe quickly. "They didn't follow the code of law. The law of Feimie. They have been betraying the kingdom for near five generations. They followed Clow." Zhang spit on Touya's boot.
"But I will tell you something," His smirk returned, "I will hang you and watch your neck snap. Then I will hunt down your sister and have her myself before she dies her slow death. She is the 211 grandchild of Hotaru.
Hotaru was the favorite child of Clow Reed. She was the youngest and had the most magical ability. She would be the grandmother of the Sun. And I can't let her bring me down. I have been working to hard to be reincarnated and rule this world to be stopped by some pathetic girl. I can not let the prophecy come true. Go to Hell with your parents you piece of shit!"
Touya was forcefully hauled to the gallows. Sakura screamed and ran to him, he was her only family left! She had to save him, but how?
A soldier tightened the slip-knot on his neck and stepped off the platform. Tears glistened on Sakura's face as summoned up her strength and called out, "BE FREE!" The floor fell below Touya.
Pink power, a shimmering light shot out of her hand toward the gallows and cut the rope. But she was too late, Touya's limp form fell to the ground, dead. She hadn't saved him. She was all alone. Her mind reeled with the facts. She turned on her heel and ran from the gallows, tears flowing freely from her eyes. She ran face first into a rock hard chest. "Gomen…..gomenasai," she mumbled.
But a strong, masculine voice replied, "It is okay, bishouji."
)*^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^*(
A cloaked figure slowly made her way into the crowded marketplace, her shining emerald eyes filled with awe and amusement. It had been one lonely year since the passing of her dear brother.
She was now on her own, though a rich family had taken her in. She tugged off her hood, revealing brilliant auburn hair, long to her waist. She intended to become a knight and avenge her family's honor. Through she was a young girl, she was well aware of the hardships to come, not to mention the possibility of succeeding was going to be even harder as well.
Sakura had been living off garbage for two weeks after her brother died. But then from mal-nutrition and lack of proper sleep, she had slipped into a state of unconsciousness. Sakura only remembered waking up in the strange house with a caring, loyal new adopted family. And if she guessed right, they were also members of Clow. She had heard everything General Zhang said to her brother about the Clow organization and Clow Reed. She had wondered if Zhang was right about her being the Sun, but was that? How could she be the main source of life support on the planet it made no sense. He also talked about a prophecy. She had never heard it before, but maybe her new family did if they really were members. But how did you ask someone if they were in an organization that if the wrong person was told you would be killed.
)*^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^*(
A violet haired, amethyst-eyed girl, about fourteen years of age, sat on a couch in the corner on the large room. Inside was an imposing bed, with a large window on either side. A knock sounded on a set of finely made and decorated door.
"Come in," a voice sweet as melody rang from inside.
The door opened and the girl looked around to see who had call upon her. She saw a girl with long shiny, auburn-hair, age about thirteen years old. Her eyes would startle anyone. Pure emerald in color, glinting from the light through the window.
"Sakura!" The girl said cheerfully.
"Tomoyo," The new girl called back quietly. The girl called Sakura curtsied. "Your father wishes to see us immediately."
The amethyst-eyed girl's face turned from a smile into a frown, " I'll be right there."
Sakura curtsied and left. Tomoyo stood up, smoothing her long blue dress. And with a sigh, went down stairs to her father's office, she knew what it was that her father wanted to talk to her about. Sakura and her futures. Tomoyo was to become a lady at convent, as was Sakura. But Sakura wouldn't be going there, she would be going to the palace.
About a year ago her father had told her to go out looking for a girl. She had thought nothing of it. Tomoyo's father had often sent her on little missions to get or find things, but never a person. Her father was one of the leader of Clow and always sent her on these little missions for him. But how was she to know that she was going to find the Sun.
She found Sakura then and felt her power even weak as it was then. Sakura's essence was barely a spark. Tomoyo somehow knew this was the girl, the girl she had seen before, the girl her father had sent her for. Tomoyo had then taken her back and nursed her back to health. Sakura had lived with them since.
Tomoyo had never told Sakura this, but she could see in mirrors. Sort of like scrying. That morning, before discovering Sakura, Tomoyo had been brushing her hair in front of her large dresser. Tomoyo had the gift all her life, but never had a vision been so clear or meaningful. It was as if the Gods had sent it.
The mirror had fogged over as if someone had blown on the cold surface and it fogged over. It showed a child, near death in an alley, Sakura. Then the focus moved into the past, Sakura's past. It showed her parents, and brother being killed. Also the man with one brown and one blue eye. The man was tall and looked like he was from another lifetime. His appearance that of thousands of years ago. Then it went forward in time and showed Sakura at the palace training to become a knight.
And Tomoyo would help her any way she could. She had secretly made boy cloths for Sakura to her in her disguise. Best friends would do that for each other. And as a member of the Clow she would help to bring her to power and help to shove the prophecy to commence.
)*^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^*(
Downstairs, in Tomoyo's father's office:
"Father, you wanted to see us?" Tomoyo asked.
"I want you, Tomoyo, to take Sakura with you, down to the City of the Gods, along with Mismi, your maid waiting on you. You two will stay at the Lady's convent for four years, learning how to be a lady, while Mismi will be at your services at all times." He said with a no-nonsense tone, "I've written a letter for you bring it to the Headmistress. You both will be leaving tomorrow."
Both girls nodded, their faces expressionless. Then they headed back to their rooms.
)*^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^*(
Tomoyo's Bedroom:
"I know that you don't want to go to some stupid, idiotic conventing school," a calm Tomoyo voiced to Sakura.
"What are you talking about Tomoyo?" Sakura questioned her best friend. "I owe you and your family my life, what would I have done if you hadn't saved me? I will do whatever is asked of me, if need be."
"Don't worry!" said Tomoyo, who was trying to sound as cheery as possible.
"So," came the confused answer of Sakura.
"Don't be mad, but I know that you want to go to the palace to become a knight and avenge your family's deaths."
"How...How did you find all this out," muttered Sakura who now plopped down onto the bed, in awe of what she had heard.
Tomoyo repeated her vision and told her of her gift. After she finished, she turned to her closet, pulled out a travel bag and handed it to Sakura. The flabbergasted Sakura untied the strings that kept the bag closed. Inside were three sets of boy clothes, a pair of riding boots, Long strands of gauze, small folded cloth, a set of page clothes, a scroll that looked liked the ones Tomoyo=s father had just given them, and a small diary looking book.
"The cloths are meant for everyday use, the boots are for riding, the gauze is to wrap around your chest to shrink your breasts, the folded cloth is for your monthly cycle. I put a spell on them to keep them from staining, so all you do is rinse. And the page clothes are for formal occasions. The scroll is your admission letter to the palace, it looks authentic enough, your name will be Chang Kami."
"The diary is a family airloom of mine. It has been passed down for nearly six-thousand years. My mother gave it to me and told me to give it to the one I think is strong enough to keep it both physically and magicly. I have felt your power Sakura, and it was so prominent that it nearly made me pass out and gave me a killer headache when you used your power."
There is also a prophecy:
"In four years and to this day, it will be six thousand years, and the prophecy will be fulfilled."
Tomoyo chanted as is by memory:
'After 6000 years of laying dormant, will rise again the evil who was locked away so long ago, the nemis of Clow Reed, who will destroy the world.
The Key:
But in this time of peril, two heroes will rise, male and female, dragon and lioness, Sun and Moon.
The Moon:
The male of the dragon, shall bare the mark of the dragon upon his left shoulder blade. Upon his head, rest a crown, for he is the leader of the clan.
The Sun:
The female of the lion, shall bare the mark the lioness upon her right breast, she hides behind the mask of a male, achieving the power to be an knight, to avenge the lost.
Guardians:
Dragon and Lioness are both trained by the Clow Reed's guardians, two shining stars created of hopes and dreams. Shall train the heroes in martial arts, sword, and magic.
Planet:
Earth, without the sun nor moon, would have neither night nor day. Just as earth, the heroes need to work together, only then will they win. If they do not merge, the world is lost, but if they merge with a single common bond, the world can be saved. With their powers combined, they can heal, love, save.'
Tears flowed down Tomoyo's cheeks, "Save them Sakura. You have the power, I have sensed it, a God blessed vision. You are the one who can save the world. Fulfill the prophecy of Clow!" She hugged the shocked Sakura and wept unto her shoulder.
