Epilogue

by Pyle

"C'mon Eriol, we have to keep searching, they can't be too far away" said Tomoyo, who was rushing as fast as she could to find Sakura. Eriol was stumbling forward, clumsily walking through the snow. Eriol ran a little faster, trying to keep up with Tomoyo's quick pace.

"But Tomoyo, we can't go on forever like this! Sooner or later we will need to set up some shelter!" Eriol whined.

"NO!" shouted Kero, who was sitting on Tomoyo's shoulder. He closed his eyes, and concentrated. He twitched his ears several times, then he pointed stright forward. "We're on the right track! Just keep going forward!"

Tomoyo, who trusted Kero's magical powers completely, rushed that way. The snow came flying up under her feet as she dragged her boots through the snow. She and Eriol had come more prepared then Sakura and Syaoran had. Eriol was wrapped up in a trench coat with two jackets and sweaters underneath. Tomoyo had a fluffy fur overcoat on that Eriol had given to her for Christmas.

Eriol could sense that they were not very far ahead also, and he was suddenly fueled by his desire to find his friends. And he didn't want to get left behind by Tomoyo. He trudged forward, gathering speed as he went, trying to ensure that he found his friends as quickly as possible. The snow came flying up from around his feet and his trot turned into a jog. And quickly after that, it turned into a sprint.

He and Tomoyo hurried forward. It was nothing but an open plain that was full of snow ahead of them. But Syaoran and Sakura were here somewhere. Tomoyo clutched Eriol's arm.

"Are you sure this is the right place?" Tomoyo asked uncertainly. Kero looked outward. "I was sure that they were here!"

"They could be just over the next hill or something. C'mon, let's go check!" said Eriol. About halfway down the hill, he suddenly slipped and fell flat on his back. He went sliding down the hill easily from there. "I wanna try!" said Kero.

He stopped flying for a moment and plopped onto the snow. He went skiing down the side, leaving a small trail of cleared snow all the way down until he hit a rock and went flying forward. He tumbled down the hill and came to rest at Eriol's feet. Tomoyo scrambled down easily, making sure that she didn't hit any rocks.

Once she had reached the bottom, Eriol continued forward, but was surprised to find that when he stepped forward, his boot didn't sink into the snow, he himself sank into the snow. And since the whole ground collapsed underneath him, so did Tomoyo and Kero. Kero, who could fly, had no worry of falling, and he stopped in mid-air.

But Eriol and Tomoyo were not so lucky. They both fell nearly ten feet through the air until they landed on a focused stream of ice. They both went sliding down it at incredible speeds, and hoping that they wouldn't hit anything. Eriol accidently touche the wall with his leg and immediately went zooming into a cache of spins, peeling out all over the place.

Eriol and Tomoyo's screams echoed throughout the cavern, and Eriol was surprised the whole ceiling didn't collapse from above them. Then finally what they were waiting for stopped. The ride abruptly ended as it suddenly flattened itself out and they stopped easily once they dug their boots into the ice. Eriol was nearly thrown forward but he managed to stop himself in time.

When Tomoyo looked around, she let out a terrified gasp. There, not ten feet away from them, were the bodies of Sakura and Syaoran, frozen together in the ice. Eriol turned around to look also, and his expression of surprise turned into a look of shocked fear.

Tomoyo instantly burst into tears and turned away, flying into Eriol's arms. Eriol held her close, tears coming to his eyes also. Tomoyo sobbed into his arms, wondering why nature had chose Syaoran and Sakura to die.

______________________

Eriol had put four candles around his fallen friends. Keroberos had turned into his true form and set fire to them easily. The flames flickered slightly, even though there was no breeze throughout the cavern.

All of them sat in front of the two frozen bodies, and prayed silently for their fallen friends. Please rest their soul.

The final end.
