A Solemn Vow

Echoing screams…
The clash of steel upon steel…
A haunting cry…
"Sakura…"

In the Year of our Lord 1608, a Prophecy was made known through a Dream. Humans, old and young alike, dreamt this Dream. And though they all dreamt one and the same Dream, no one spoke a word of it. It was, oddly enough, a Secret of sorts. Not one dared speak of the Vision.
The Vision foretold the coming of an Enchantress, a Sorceress strong beyond belief. This Enchantress would become the most powerful Magician in the land, rivaled by none. She would ascend into the Light and save the world from Destruction. Peace would last as long as she lived.
The Dream did not long dwell in the Humans' minds. In time, it faded away into nothing but a mere Sense of misty wishfulness. What should have always been remembered...was forgotten.
Forgotten by all but one. A Magician by the name of Clow Reed had practiced long and hard to become the World's greatest and strongest Mage. He purposed in his Mind to always remain the strongest of Sorcerers. It was then that the Vision came to him, and it was then that he purposed deep within the dark recesses of his Being to destroy the Enchantress.
Fate was against Clow Reed. In an Experiment with Immortality, he destroyed himself. Some frivolous Beings proclaim that he still lives.
This has yet to be proved wrong.
