I
wrote this story as a fairy tale.
All is Fair in Love and War
Chapter One:
The Story
By: Mercury Angel
Long ago in a land that in which time seem to have forgotten, were
two kingdoms lock in a battle for centuries and no one know why. This story is as old as time.
King
Fujitake, who he himself did not know why but was brought up to rule against
the other kingdom, ruled the Kinomoto Kingdom.
He had two children who he adored.
His oldest, a son named Touya.
He was a great warrior and would one day be a great king yet like his
father did not understand why the kingdoms must always be against each
other. His daughter, Sakura or Cherry
Blossom as the kingdom's people called her, was as gentle as her name. She had emerald eyes and amber hair. She was sixteen and sort after by all of the
young Lords in the kingdom. She was to wed the young Lord Takashi. But she knew his heart belong to her friend
Lady Chihara. Her best friend and
cousin Lady Tomoyo suggest that there should be a ball so Princess Sakura could
choose for herself. Queen Nadeshiko, as
lovely as she was did not live long after her daughter's third birthday.
Queen Yulen ruled the Li Kingdom. The King had past away short after their
last child. She too did not understand
why the fought but that is what the ancients had taught her. There were five princesses, each one unique
but always together. The youngest of
the family was the Prince. Prince Xiaolong
known through of the kingdoms as Little Wolf.
He had chestnut colored hair and honey amber eyes. He was different because it was rare to have
that combination in their kingdom but he has inherited them from his
father. His sisters had black hair and
brownish red eyes like his mother. Since
he was the crowned prince of their kingdom it was tradition to train to be come
a skilled fighter away from the palace until his seventeenth birthday to become
king. But he was different for unlike
the kings before he, he finished his training early. The trainer claimed there was nothing more to teach him he was
already the best in his rank and of other ranks, he saw the best. He had only seen one person as good as him,
but he somehow changed the subject. The world spend like wild fire through out
of the Li Kingdom, that their beloved Little Wolf would be returning to
them. He like, Sakura was loved and
cherished be his people. The Ladies of
the court couldn't wait until it was time for him to choose a queen. His best friend and adviser, Yukito Tsukishiro
had informed him of this. But Xiaolong
found it odd that no one no even his mother had seen him since he was five, all
except for Yukito. Yukito was special
because of the magic he had inside of him, in times of need he would transform
into Yue, the moon guardian of the Clow Cards.
Yue would guard over Xiaolong and advise him in matters that Yukito felt
his true form would have a better judgment. They road past the protective walls
that Xiaolong and live within for so long.
The outside world seemed so different through the eyes of a sixteen year
old. The school was far from both
kingdoms it was a free territory.
Xiaolong couldn't wait to leave this place and go home.
"Xiaolong, I wish you would let Yue fly
you home," Yukito commented to his young prince.
"Oh, Yukito, I have not seem the outside
world yet, I wish to know of the world before I am locked away in the castle,
till I become king," Xiaolong stated.
"Why it's only one year?" Yukito said.
"Ah, Yukito by for words, you could tell
you are far older then me even if you do not look it," Xiaolong said.
"Dear Little Wolf if you only knew,"
Yukito said with a smile.
The only objection Yukito have was that
they would have to cross near the Kinomoto Kingdom. He feared what they would do to his young prince if they knew who
he was. But sense no one knew how he
looked like other than the students at the academy, he tutor and him, no one
knew how he looked like, so he was safe for now.
"What does thou pondering?" Xiaolong
asked his quite friend.
"I ponder of your safety," Yukito
answered.
"Why must you worry so?" Xiaolong asked.
"I simply fear what might happen to you,"
Yukito stated.
"You worry because we will be near the
Kinomoto kingdom," Xiaolong stated.
"Oh?" Yukito waited for his young prince
to make a comment. But when he didn't,"
what are you pondering?"
"I, ponder why out kingdoms must be
locked in this battle," Xiaolong sighed.
"It's not a battle in which there is
blood shed," Yukito commented.
"I know, but our people against
theirs. You know how loyal our people
are I worry one day there will be a battle in which many will die. I not only fear for our people but for their
people as well, a life is a life no matter who they serve." Xiaolong said
sadly.
"You have a kind heart, Little Wolf,"
Yukito said.
"Other kings in our past have not been so
kind." He continued.
"The people of the Kinomoto Kingdom fear
of because of the magic to possess," Xiaolong said.
"I just wish the battle was be over by
the time I toke the throne," Xiaolong sadly continued.
