I am back, with part 2... Yes I know it is very short, so I most likely going to edit it and extend. Bear with my terrible grammar, and thanks to my beta yuuwatase719, or else this story wouldn't be a story, Just a bunch of words.

Dragon Master Ch 2

"Pick up your sword again, Xiao Lang!" the elder leader snapped. "Again!"

Syaoran struggled to stand, panting heavily. These spells were extremely different, especially when compared to his ofudas. Using the power of the dragons could really take a lot out of a person.

"Huo Long, Zhao Lai!"

A burst of flame exploded from his sword, many times more powerful than from his ofudas. Syaoran collapsed again. Everyday... for the last 6 months... spells and more spells... when will this end? He had been patient before... but now...

"Xiao Lang! Focus!" the leader bellowed, and Syaoran couldn't take it anymore.

"WHY AM I DOING THIS?" He yelled at the Great Elder. "Why am I going through this hell?

The Great Elder hesitated for a moment, then sighed, glaring at him beadily. "I would suppose you deserve a response. The dragons are a powerful source of power. Under normal circumstances, anyone could draw from them if they are strong enough. Like the Clow Cards, they are free agents, unless they are bounded by a master. Our ancestors created a bargain with the dragons so only the Li clan can be a master, if one passes the test."

"So what does that have to do with me?" Syaoran asked impatiently.

"Our seers have foretold the death of you and the current Card Mistress, by the hands of a powerful dark force, in 5 years from now. This darkness will claim the Sakura cards and destroy the world. We hope to prevent this, and we believe that you can alter this fate."

"Again, why me?"

The Great Elder sighed once again, "Impatient are you? According to previous fortune telling, you were supposed to die in the Final Judgment by the hands of the Judge. But you managed to survive."

"I... was supposed to die?" Syaoran couldn't stop the next wave of fury overwashing him. "And you knew about this and still sent me to deal with the Clow Cards?!"

"You were stubborn, we couldn't stop you. We didn't want to tell you of your death. But, you surprised us 3 years ago, by surviving. Only a powerful will can defy fate. You may be able to conquer the dragons."

So, Sakura is going to die? Over my dead body... and that might happen...

"OK then, I won't let anything happen to Sakura. I guess I have no choice."

The Elder nodded, clearly approving of the choice Syaoran made. "The Dragon Master is an immortal, and with the powers, you can stop this evil force."

"Wait, an immortal? Don't they have any emotions, then?" Syaoran asked, a tad panickingly. "No heart? No soul?"

"It is a cost of immortality, the test for immortality requires the lack of a soul and heart. An immortal can not die by mortal means, and has a near unlimited supply of magic, but an immortal can still die. Powerful magic can claim a life of an immortal. The test against the dragons is a test of weakness. The dragons will take any weakness you posses, any little one, and magnify it a million times. Candidates must shed all weaknesses. No matter the price. Being immortal is the only way to be strong enough to conquer the dragons."

Six months, has it been only that long?

It felt longer without him...

"Sakura? Class is over." Tomoyo never saw Sakura like this before. So lifeless... so very drained... "Come, Sakura-chan. Let's walk together."

It took quite a bit to drag Sakura out of school and back to her house. After dropping the poor girl off to her house, Tomoyo began to head to her own house.

What happened to Syaoran? How did everything end up this way? she couldn't help but to wonder on behalf of her lifeless best friend.

There was only one way to get answers: to contact the one person whose wisdom far surpassed others. Tomoyo dialed a number on her phone.

"Hello?"

"Hiiragizawa-kun? This is Daidouji Tomoyo." Of course, due to her etiquette, she politely started out with, "I apologize for calling at such a time if it is inappropriate, but-"

"Is it about Syaoran?" Eriol cut her off. Tomoyo blinked.

"Yes. We must converse."

"It is about time. Bring Yue, Kero, and Touya to my house in 30 minutes. We'll have to have a discussion."
