Prologue
Darkness.
Silence.
Sakura looked around. Syaoran, Tomoyo, Yue, and Cerberus were right by her. In the shadows, something stirred. A figure stepped out. It was a boy, tall and thin with a sallow complexion and dark hair. He was wearing robes of elegant black and gold. But what were truly frightening about him were his eyes and his smile. His eyes, black orbs that occasionally flashed gray, were like dark pits, pits so deep that you could drown helplessly in them. They were like the night sky without any stars. His smile was entirely mirthless and cold as a blast of ice. "So, young Cardcaptor, you have come to my lair," he said in a soft, cold voice. "Hand over the Sakura cards!" "No!" Sakura finally found her voice. "I am the Mistress of the Cards!" "Perhaps you need a little persuasion," he purred, his smile widening, and he gestured. A bolt of bright red light flashed and hit Tomoyo. "No! Tomoyo!" Sakura screamed. The boy began to laugh, a high-pitched cackle that was as cold as his voice and echoed everywhere. "Perhaps you need more persuasion," he said, his eyes glittering with insane glee. He gestured again, and a thick black fog appeared, covering Yue, Syaoran, and Cerberus. When it cleared, Sakura noticed that their eyes were dull, without pupils. "Destroy her!" the boy yelled, pointing at Sakura. Syaoran drew his sword and charged, swinging it. Sakura barely missed it. "Li-kun?" she gasped. "What are you doing?" He didn't answer her, and just stared at her with his blank eyes. Cerberus scratched her with his sharp claws, ripping her clothes and leaving long gashes. Yue pelted her with crystals. She managed to dodge most of them, but the ones that hit tore skin as blood gushed out. She staggered up, panting slightly, bleeding profusely now. "Who...what are you?" she demanded. "Why are you doing this?" The boy just laughed. Syaoran snuck up from behind and plunged his sword into her shoulder. She shrieked in agony and fell to her knees. The boy walked toward her and knelt down. He tilted her chin so their eyes met. "Give me the Sakura Cards or this is just the beginning, " he hissed. "Everything that is dear to you will be mine or destroyed."
