chapter 1
Plight for Safety
In the land of Curnan, in a time of war, A young man lived. And that young man was late for breakfast. "XIAO LANG!!!!" yelled a young woman with red eyes and long black hair pulled into two buns. She walked into her fiancees room and shook the young man. "Meiling, go away!" he mumbled from under the pillows. "Come on, is that any way to treat, your wife to be?" she asked pouting. He flapped his right hand at her. "I'll be up in a minuet, go away so I can change." "Okay!" Meiling said happily, and she bounced out of the room closing the door behind her. The young man sat up slowly blinking his amber eyes several times, accustoming himself to the sunlight. He had chestnut hair, mussed from sleeping on it. His name was Xiao Lang, or Syaoran. He yawned and got up. Lazily putting on a house coat. He stretched once more before heading down stairs for breakfast.
"Morning Xiao Lang," greeted his mother. "Morning mother, Feimei, Sheifa, Fanren and Fuutie" he said nodding to his mother and sisters. He at down in his seat, and Meiling latched onto him like a leech, hugging his arm. "Meiling, get off" he growled half heartedly. "Xiao Lang, remember you are to marry her." Chided his mother softly. It was part of the normal morning ritual. The only difference was that this day was going to prove to be anything but usual.
About midmorning, when Syaoran and Meiling were training, a messenger ran in collapsing in front of Syaoran. "Yer Lordship," he said as the future clan leader ran over to him kneeling beside him. "I've bin told ter tell ye, they're comin' for ye" he panted. Syaoran nodded and stood up. "Meiling, get him some food and water, Mother has to hear his news, and I must tell her." Meiling sighed as he walked out of the door. There was no talking to him when he was in this state of mind.
Syaoran knocked on the door to his mother's study. "Come in" came her voice from the other side. He walked in. "Xiao Lang, what has happened?" She asked sitting up straight as he walked in. Syaoran relayed all of the news to her. "This is not good" she said, starting to pace.
They, were a group of people who supported chaos, and the general badness of the world. They therefore did not approve of the Li's and them trying to regain possession of the legendary Clow cards created by there ancestor Clow reed. The cards were needed to help keep the peace and order of the land, and things had become chaotic when Syaoran's grandfather had released them, and had been getting worse ever since. It was Syaoran's destiny to retrieve the Clow cards and bring order to all of Curnan as the leader of the Li clan. Syaoran's father, the previous leader, ad perished trying to protect his son from them.
His mother looked up at him. "As much as I hate to do this so soon, I know that it is the only way. You must leave now to find the lost Cards Mistress, bring her and the cards safely back, and keep her and them from falling into enemy hands. You are destined for greatness Xiao Lang, and I have faith that you will come through for us. You must go in all haste, so as to be as far away from here as possible when they get here. You must go now!" Syaoran nodded, and quickly left for his chambers to put on his family robes, and to get his sword.
He returned to his mother's study when he was done, only to find her not there. He went down to the door hidden at the back of the estate. That was where he found his mother. She was waiting with a pack. "Xiao Lang, you need to get to the castle Aquila at Alashan to defeat Duke Theta so we can try and bring peace to this world. Remember, the elves of the Tau forest will help you." Syaoran nodded, taking the bundle from his mother. Suddenly there was banging at the front door, and shouting. Li Yelan turned back to her son. "You must leave. Take heed, flee with one eye in front of you, and one eye behind." with that, Syaoran left, running into the forest.
He ran and ran, until he felt completely lost, and still he ran some more. Once night fell, he feel into a deep slumber at the base of a tree, only to rise again at first light. This time he took more care hiding his trail so that no one could follow him. He was so wrapped up in hiding his trail that he forgot what his mother had told him: to flee with one eye in front.
He didn't even know what was happening until it hit him. An arrow, seemingly out of nowhere flew out from the trees, and pinned him to a tree. three more arrows followed it, further attaching him to the tree. The archer must be a fairly good warrior, considering that his aim was so good, he could pin him to the tree without so much as scraping the skin. Syaoran's heart was thumping painfully. he fully expected to see a full-grown warrior male come out, ready to spear him. What he did not expect was the short girl about his age to come out from behind the tree.
She was thin and short, with her light brown hair pulled up in a bun. She was wearing tan leggings, similar to breeches, a white shirt covered by a forest green vest that accented her deep green eyes. From the bow in her hands and quiver on her back, he gathered that it had been her that had shot the arrows that now pinned him against the tree.
She walked up to him, putting an arrow up, and pressing it over his rapidly beating heart. "You had better explain real quick why your here, and tell the truth, or I will kill you right now" she said. He could tell by the look in her eyes that she meant it too.
