Few weeks later, they had finally arrived. They looked around and noticed that Beijing was mostly made of plains.
"Aaah! Look at all the people here! There's a lot more here than in Qutou!" Meilin shouted pointing at all the people. "How are we gonna find this guy?!" Xiaolang was wondering the exact same thing when he felt a pull at his magical senses. He grabbed Meilin's arm and started running towards the direction it came from.
"There's an aura close by! It's really strong!" Soon, they came to a stop in a street full of houses with dragons nailed on the roofs, painted on the walls, basically, dragons everywhere. Standing in front of them was a smiling boy wearing old-fashioned robes. He had a tall staff with a sun at the top in his right hand. Xiaolang looked at him carefully. He felt the aura emitting itself from this strange boy. Then, slowly, he said, "You're the reincarnation of Clow Reed, aren't you?"
"Yes, I am and I know why you're here, Li Xiaolang and Li Meilin!" They boy nodded, his short black hair waving around him in the wind. Xiaolang ran a hand through his messy brown hair as he said, "I would suppose you should!" The three walked together slowly.
"Oh my! I forgot! I'm Hiiragizawa Eriol, your new traveling partner in you mission! I don't have any luggage so, let's go!" The trio left Beijing when all of a sudden, Meilin turned and asked Eriol, "By the way, what were all those dragons for?"
"They're to ward off evil spirits. They put them everywhere because they feel that dragons would guard them from evil!" He said while waving his staff making it disappear. His robes disappeared too, revealing a more normal outfit underneath.
"I heard that Beijing was quite the peaceful city. I thought it was because there weren't so many people there." Xiaolang said. Meilin added in, "Yeah! How come everyone is so nice?"
"Well, mostly everyone is Buddhism in China so they respect each other, but that is going to change very soon! Around the year 1989 in what would soon become Tianenmen Square, students will gather together trying to protest for democracy. The government will be sent after them and many will die. That was in a vision of mine!" Eriol grinned looking at Xiaolang. He looked away. 'I don't like this guy!' They kept on walking. Meilin, suddenly, asked, out of the blue, "Who are the Red Guard?" Xiaolang stopped and looked at her, shocked.
"You don't know?!"
"Nope! Should I?"
"The Red Guard was a group of young men and women sent by Mao Zedong to make sure nobody opposed him. If you were, you were publicly humiliated, beaten, and possibly killed!" Xiaolang yelled at her. Meilin smiled sheepishly, "Oh yeah! Heh heh!" Xiaolang sighed and Eriol laughed. They continued their journey towards the southeast region.
After a couple of days, they reached Shanghai thanks to a lot of help from Eriol in levitation and flying spells. They landed just outside of Shanghai where there weren't so many buildings. Eriol looked around, surprised, "Wow! Instead of plains like in Beijing, this place is mostly hills! Not to mention that this Humid Subtropical climate differs much from the usual Humid Continental climate I'm used to!"
"How can you tell?" Xiaolang yelled at the smart boy with round glasses.
"My magic!" Eriol grinned. Meilin gave a loud gasp, "Oh no! How are we ever going to find this person? It's even more crowded here than in Beijing!" Meilin wailed at the thought of never getting home. Then, she stopped and smiled at Xiaolang. "Hey! You could try that aura thing again! Aunt Yelan wouldn't have made you do this unless there's magic involved!" He nodded. He closed his eyes, concentrated, and then opened them up again when he felt another aura. As he started running, so did Eriol and Meilin. They pushed their way through the crowd until they reached a small house outside Shanghai near the North China Plain. Outside, was a girl around Xiaolang's age with short auburn hair and bright, emerald eyes. Xiaolang stood there, transfixed at her beauty, not noticing when Eriol walked up to her. He snapped out of it when he saw a glow. A great, giant lion with wings along with a pale man also with wings stood next to the girl. Their eyes were stuck on Eriol as he came closer, smiling.
"Card Mistress, I congradulate you in being able to pass the Final Judgment and fully transforming the Clow Cards! Keroberos, Yue! It's nice to see you again!" Eriol greeted as his staff appeared. Xiaolang came up next to him. He took out his pendant and chanted out an incantation, "Source of Light, With ancient spin, Send forth the magic, Power within, Force, know my plight, Release the light!" The pendant changed into the Clow Sword. The girl nodded and smiled as she pulled out her own key and said, "Oh, Key of the Star, With powers burning bright, Reveal the staff and shine your light! Release!" A wand replaced the key. 'She's beautiful! Wait! Beautiful and delicate yet very powerful! She's the one mother described!'
"Hello! I know what your mission is and I'm ready to go with you! I'm Kinomoto Ying-fa!"
"Hiiragizawa Eriol!"
"Li Meilin!"
"Li Xiaolang! How did you know?" 'This is fitting even better than I thought! "Ying-fa" means cherry blossom and cherry blossoms are flowers!'
"Prophetic dream! Are you two married?" Ying-fa asked pointing to Xiaolang and Meilin. At this, Meilin clasped onto Xiaolang's arm. "Engaged!" Xiaolang shrugged, "We're cousins!"
"Oh!" Ying-fa said. "Shall we go?" They all nodded and were about to leave when a young man ran out.
"Ying-fa!" Ying-fa looked down cast and mouthed an "Oh no!" The man came closer and stopped when he reached them. Then, he put his hands on his waist and glared at Ying-fa, "Exactly where are you going? With these people too?" She sighed, "You wouldn't understand, Toya!"
"Oh really?"
"Ok, ok! I'm going to Hong Kong with Xiaolang, Meilin, Eriol, and Tomoyo!"
"For how long?"
"Just a couple of weeks!" Ying-fa said sweetly.
"I don't like that brown-hair guy! He seems pretty suspicious!" Toya glared at Xiaolang and he glared back. They glared at each other, but when Ying-fa all of a sudden said; "Enough!" they broke off.
"Toya! I'll be fine! I'll bring Yue with me, okay?" Toya looked at the guardian who he knew was his best friend, Yukito.
"Okay! Fine, you can go! You don't need to bring Yue or Keroberos though! Just make sure you bring Tomoyo!"
"Okay! Bye!" Ying-fa waved goodbye. She ran toward another house and came back with a beautiful young girl with violet-hair. They both smiled.
"You don't mind if I bring Tomoyo, do you?"
"Nope!"
"Thanks!" The girl suddenly spoke. "By the way, I'm Daidouji Tomoyo! Nice to meet you! I know who you are, because Ying-fa told me, so save your breath!" With that, the five teenagers set off on their journey towards Hong Kong.
