Genbu: The Crystal of Power
Chapter 8
Before the struck of midnight, we discussed our plan. We were going to infiltrate
the place where Syaoran was and save him and the others. That was about it. How we
were going to do it exactly, I didn't have a clue.
"how are we going to find him?" I asked.
"I can't actually feel him now" Eriol answered, "something or someone seems to be
blocking the energy coming out of him."
"doesn't that sound bad?" I asked, worried.
He looked at me and sighed. "it does. It might mean he's dead."
I just stared at him in shock.
"but you can find him, you know. Feel for him."
Those were the last words that I heard from him. Me head whirled and whirled. I
felt dizzy. My vision blurred and I could barely breathe. Suddenly, it stopped.
before me were white fields. Snow was gently falling on the ground.
"s-sa-k-kura..." I heard a voice behind me say.
I turned around and almost screamed at what I saw. Syaoran.... he was all torn
and bloddy. Amidst the pure white snow his blood made its way to my feet like a
river. And in his hand he held his sword which was broken into pieces.
"SYAORAN!!!!"
I ran toward him. I tried to reach out for him. But I couldn't.
I couldn't....
"SAKURA!!!"
I woke up. It was a dream of some sort. My breathing was hard. You could say
that I was gasping for life. I looked at Eriol and I just broke down. "E-e...
Eriol..." I stammered, "S-Syaoran!! ...he's... he's..."
"take it easy now, Sakura. Whatever happened we'll just have to discuss later.
For now, it'll just have to wait after save Syaoran OK?" he said, comforting me
and rubbing my back.
I nodded.
After a few moments, we put our plan into action. Eriol led the way with his
artifact(which he called the Iridyss) before him. He said that it gave off a
thin line of light that only he could see and so, we walked along.
I was almost asleep when we found the building we were looking for and Eriol
had to shake me to really wake me up.
"here we are. Iridyss says so. Now, for thesecond phase." he said.
I looked at him oddly. "and what's that?"
"Infiltrate... remember?"
"oh....how are we going to do that?" I asked.
"watch"
Eriol then held Iridyss high and glowed faintly. The glow travelled from the
Iridyss to Eriol's arm then, his body. He touched me with his hand and I almost
jumped from fear but then, he looked at me with his gentle eyes and I let the
glowtouch my whole body. It felt cool and tingly it was like mist covering you
in the night. After a few minutes, the glow slowly disappeared and.....
"what happened? nothing seems to have changed." I said.
Eriol smiled. He reached for something within his cloak and then gave it to me.
It was a mirror.
I looked and it only to see... nothing! absolutely nothing! "what happened?!?
I can't see my reflection!!! is this a trick mirror?!?"
Eriol chuckled. "No, you're invisible. Only the two of us can see each other."
I was releived by what he said. For a moment there, I thought that I've become
a ghost!
And so, we went to building with the knowledge that we were invisible. Eriol
told me that I should keep quiet at all times because we could still be heard.
The Building was simple and there were no guards found outside. Who would have
guessed that a small little home would be a secret military base?
Eriol led me to the back door of the building. He whispered to me that the front
door might have more guards and traps. But when we reached the back door, there
were two guard dogs guarding it.
"what do we do now?" I told him silently.
He just looked at me and put a finger to his mouth, signalling me to keep quiet.
He then reached for something in his pocket and threw it at the bushes over the
other side. The bushed reacted as he must have planned and the two dogs went for
the bait. Immediately, the two of us scurried to the door, opened it(it was
unlocked!) and we went inside. Immediately, he came to an abrupt stop. I bumped
into him by accident but he didn't move an inch.
He started to point downwards and I looked. Tripwire. Whatever it might have
triggered, I'm glad that Eriol had seen it before we even passed it. Carefully
passing through, we continued. Not very far from us was a stairway going down.
There was also a door beside it but Eriol headed for the stairway. I followed
carefully behind. It was a narrow corridor. Wide enough for only one person to
fit in.
"run for it." he whispered to me, and he ran towards the darkness.
I followed him and ran. I was afraid that I might bump into him in the darkness
but I know that if we didn't make it to the other end before someone else enters
the corridor from the other side, we'd surely be discovered. So, I just kept on
running, checking my pace every once in while to avoid bumping into him. The
tunnel was long and had no other entrances within it. There were a few twists
and turns but after a while, we came out of it.
The room that we had now entered was quiet. We were underground now. The walls
were made of brick layers and the floor was wood. It didn't have any furnishings
except for a small stool, table and an emblem hanging on the wall. It was a
flamming skull with two snakes coming out from its eyes. The Dark Lord's insignia.
I was staring at it for quite a while then I noticed Eriol from the corner of
my eye. He was looking away from me and making signals of some sort so I came
over.
I walked silently across the wooden floor, which was creaking beneath me. I
was about a step away when stepped on a wodden board and heard a loud click.
Eriol quickly faced me and was to grab me when I fell. The last thing I saw
was Eriol trying to reach for me.
I didn't know how long the fall was, but I know I fell and must have knocked
my head into unconsciousness. When I woke up, I was in a dark room. I couldn't
see a thing. Then, I saw a small hole where bit of light was coming through.
Curious what was on the other side, I peeped through it.
'Syaoran!!!!' me head screamed. He was chained to a wooden board and was bloody
all over....
....he was being tortured!
"SYAORAN!!!"
