The Next Day…
Sakura woke up with a jerk; she sat up and saw Void looking out the window.
"Ahh, your up master. Did you sleep well?" she asked.
"I slept well thank you, how about you? I know you woke up last night and you woke earlier than I did. Are you sure your fully rested?" Sakura asked with a worried tone.
"Don't worry master. Dragons like me don't need much sleep." She said with a slightly sad tone.
"What do you mean 'dragons like you?'" Sakura asked suspiciously.
"Huh? Oh that must of slipped out I'm sorry master. It's not important. Don't worry about it." Void said faking a smile.
"Hmm, if you say so." Sakura said, "I'll figure it out sometime, Void." She thought to herself.
The conversation they had was enough to wake up Kero who was sleeping where he usually was.
"Hey! Would you gals keep it DOWN a little, some people are still trying to sleep here." He said angrily.
"Oh, wake up Kero." Sakura said crossly. "We still have a lot to do remember."
Kero jumped up. "Ahh…yes I forgot we are on a quest!!" he said.
"You haven't changed much have you?" Void said. "Always a step late…" she laughed.
"You're the one who hasn't changed, Void." Kero responded. "Always nitpicking at small things." He said a little pissed off.
It took awhile but finally all three of them got ready and went down to the living room.
* * *
In the living room…
Sakura, Kero and Void stepped downstairs; they saw that everyone else was waiting for them.
"Well, looks like our princess is awake." Fujitaka said.
"Good morning, Sakura, good morning Void and good morning Kero." Tomoyo said cheerfully.
"Good morning." The three replied.
"Good morning…" Li said.
"Good morning." They replied back.
"Where's Touya, father?" Sakura asked.
"He went to school early." Fujitaka replied. "Something about work, and please just call me by my name princess…"
"Father…" Sakura protested. "You took care of me, to me you're the only father I know, so let's keep it at that, at least until I meet my birth father."
"As you wish, your majesty." Fujitaka said.
"FATHER!!"
"I'm sorry, habit." He replied sweating.
"Oh!" Tomoyo exclaimed. "We should be getting to school now!!"
Li, Sakura jumped up when they heard this. "WE TOTALLY FORGOT!!!" they both exclaimed at once.
"Don't worry, I told your teachers that you guys had important business and can't go to school." Fujitaka said.
"WHAT" the teens shouted in union.
"Don't worry, this is more important than school, I had word that this present world might be in danger also…" Fujitaka continued. "I didn't want to rush you guys into this, but I'm going to have to get you guys ready."
"For what?" Sakura asked.
"To get prepared to go to the world where all this originated, Dragoniar." He said.
"WHAT?" Void exclaimed. "They aren't ready yet, you haven't even taught them the means of survival there." She glared angrily.
"Well, it's our job to make them ready then, Void, I want them ready by next week do you understand?" Fujitaka said demandingly.
"I'll be lucky if I can get one of them ready by that time…" void mumbled quietly.
"Did you say something, Void?" Fujitaka said.
"Nothing." She said innocently.
"Okay, I'll train Li and Tomoyo, and you get Sakura and Kero." He said.
"Isn't a better idea for you to train Sakura, you are her guardian." Void said.
"Well, she's a sorceress and I not as strong as you are in that category Void." He replied.
"Tomoyo a sorceress and your training her…" Void said.
"Fine, then I'll take Li and Kero, you take Tomoyo and Sakura." He said.
Li sighed, "I was hoping to be with Sakura too, oh well…" he thought, little did he know Sakura was thinking the same thing."

Sakura group training…
"Magic, comes from the soul, it is empowered by the mind, if the heart is pure, the magic will be pure… If the mind is strong so will the magic." Void started looking at her small "class".
"There are several different types of magic, all branching from the basic elements, fire, water, wind and earth, but recently… the elders at Dragoniar discovered few more new elements…
Dark, Holy, Chaos and Void." Void continued.
Sakura and Tomoyo listened in great interest. Sakura didn't know magic, as a whole could be that fascinating, and Tomoyo didn't even know she knew magic to begin with.
"As I understand, Sakura already has experienced using magic," Sakura nodded. " But Tomoyo had only used it a few times, most of them as a 'self-defense' mechanism." Tomoyo nodded also.
Void sighed, "This is going to be hard," she thought. "They both have great potential but they levels are completely different."
"Alright, now I will have a little experiment to see what elements you both are more attuned to, it might help me decide how to teach you more powerful magic." Void said.
Void explained, they were to meditate and feel different auras, and when they felt something that they felt really 'familiar' or 'comfortable' with. Then they should tell Void when they feel it.
Sakura sat down and closed her eyes; she began what Void told them to do. She started to feel the strong and powerful aura of the fire element, she shuddered. "Not my type…" she thought to her self. Then she started to feel the mystic feel of the water element. She smiled, it felt good but at the same time very unfamiliar, "Too mysterious for me…" she thought. Then she felt the solid and tough aura of the earth element, Sakuara giggled, "This will be more fitting for Li…" she smiled at the thought, but shook it off as the next element was coming, it was the clam, refreshing breeze of the wind element, something familiar yet 'new'… "Yes this is it…she thought…" Sakura opened her eyes.
"That's the element." She said quietly.
"Wind, figures" Void said. "Wyndian's seem to favor the Wind element." She paused. "However…"
"Yes?" Sakura asked curiously.
"Being a descendent of the royal family…you also should find this aura familiar." Void took a deep breath and took out a magic stone, the stone let out a claim, caring aura…Sakura felt very comfortable around it. Sakura nodded.
"Yes, history is repeating itself. Most of the past Wyndia princesses were attuned to two elements, wind and holy. It's seems to be your case Sakura."
Sakura nodded. "So, does that mean I can't use any other elements?"
Void shook her head. "No, Sakura…it's just you feel comfortable with those elements and you would learn the spells faster, and it would be more powerful when you cast them."
Then Void did the same thing with Tomoyo, she favored the water element. With that Void began to teach them the basic of magic, Sakura caught up really quickly since she already done a lot with the Clow cards, whereas Tomoyo still fumbling since it was all too quick for her. After awhile, both friends seemed to improve enough so Void told them it was enough for today.

Li's team…
"Mind, heart and spirit…" Fujitaka started. "Are vital to a warrior. With out them…your just machine that can fight. Mind gives us thought, tells us what to do and when to do things. The heart tells us what's right and wrong, and spirit allows us to fight to our fullest potential."
Li yawned. He was kind of tired from the events that were happening. He also couldn't take his mind off of Sakura and her angel like wings. He shook his head. This wasn't the time to be daydreaming…
"LI, LI!!" Fujitaka yelled.
Li jumped out of his daydream…
"Yes sir!" Li said.
"Did you hear what I just said?" He asked.
"Uhh…er…" Li began.
"Looks like you weren't listening Li, this is important you know that right?" Fujitaka continued.
"Yes sir, I'm sorry." Li said.
"Please pay more attention, this could very well mean life or death to this very world." Fujitaka said.
"Yes sir." Li replied.
"Alright let us continue shall we?" Fujitaka said. "By the way Li, I heard you pretty good with a sword, is that true."
"Well…" Li began. "I did train since I was very young, but good I don't know."
"Well why don't we test that out, lets have a duel." Fujitaka said.
"Huh?" Li exclaimed.
"Don't worry, we don't try to kill each other it's only practice." Fujitaka said with a smile.
"Uh…okay." Li said.
The rules were easy, whoever gets knocks out of the circle first loses, Fujitaka summoned up his trusty spear, where as Li got ready with his sword.
"Are you ready, Li?" Fujitaka asked.
"As I'll ever be." Li replied.
"Then let the best man win." Fujitaka said with a smile.
Fujitaka charged, thrusting his spear at Li, Li jumped and brought his sword crashing down blocking the blow. Fujitaka proceeded by swinging his spear at Li. Li did a back flip and dodged the blow. Li swung his sword at Fujitaka, but it Fujitaka blocked it with his spear.
"Pretty good, Li." Fujitaka said. "But warm up is over. Let's end this… Wind strike!!" He took a swing at Li, Li anticipating the move, tried to parry it with his sword. The two weapons clashed at impact. Li smiled slightly as he thought he blocked the blow, but originating from the impact, there was a strong force, a blast of wind hit Li sharp as blade slicing the pieces of clothing from Li's uniform. Li stumbled back, which was just what Fujitaka needed…
"By the ancient powers of the wing…AWAKEN to guide my spear and strike down thy enemy!!! Tornado Lance!!" Fujitaka yelled while flying up the air. He spun around causing a cyclone to form around the spear. Li got around getting back into balance, he exclaimed as he saw Fujitaka lunge at him. "Think fast…Li…" he thought to himself.
Fujitaka was coming down quick, so Li decided to use the next best thing he can think of…he started to evade the attack, but a weird sensation came over Li…like something tells him not to dodge the blow. Instead, his eyes gleaned with anticipation of the attack, he unconsciously charged his sword with fire and smiled…
When Fujitaka came close enough, that was Li's cue…
"Flames of fire assist my blade!!! Ryuenren!!!" Li shouted as he swiped his blade upward while a pillar a flame engulfed the areas that he swiped. A large explosion followed, when the impact resided, both Fujitaka and Li were out of the ring. Both had fallen.
"Oui…" Fujitaka groaned as he stood up…he looked surprised as he saw that he was outside the ring. Then he gasped. "I seen that move somewhere!!!" he thought. "Is it possible?? It can't be…it must have been my imagination!!"
"Augh!" Li said as he stood up…
"Kid, you better than I thought…very good Li. You have potential to become a great warrior. Good fight!" Fujitaka said as he held out his hand smiling.
"Thanks, you're very good yourself." Li replied, shaking Fujitaka's hand. "Weird…" he thought. "What was that feeling I got? And what did I do? It was like I wasn't even me…"
After that Kero, Fujitaka and Li trained some more, but it was getting late and they were tired, so Fujitaka called it a day.
* * *
Night time, Near Sakura's house…
Chaos flew down to a tree near the house; it was close enough for him to see the house but at the same time far enough so the people inside won't suspect it until he wanted them to. He closed his light blue eyes and thought. "What am I doing this for?" he thought to himself. "This is wrong, and I know it…yet…" he shook his head. He had no time for inner struggles, but yet… "NO!" he yelled at himself. "You know what's at risk here!!!" He charged his claw with dark blue energy, at the same time planning his next move…
