Fated Circle: Four Sacred Treasures of Earth
~Part 4
Seiryuu: The Mirror of Mystery
Chapter 19
That night, Syaoran discussed the mansion's grounds with Rika and Lucas.
Syaoran bid me to sleep and that I would be awakened when the plan was
formed. So I slept until a few seconds later(or so it seemed), a soft
nudging woke me up.
"vake up lady Sakura..."
The accent was clearly heard and I knew at once that it was Rika. Slowly,
I sat up on the bed and then I wiped the sleep off my eyes. Rika told me to
stand up, as the plan had now been finalized and was going to be told. Lucas
and Syaoran sat in the middle of the floor. They both looked very tired and
so did Rika.
"ready Sakura?" Syaoran asked.
I nodded. We then Indian-sitted on the floor.
"okay. The plan goes like this: we'll all enter the mansion grounds via the
hidden door on the western side of the gardens. Lucas said that an invisibility
spell screens the door if he enters the password so we'll be invisible the rest
of the way. Rika will then lead us to the secret entrance by the fountain and
then we'll be coming out to a room at the second floor." Syaoran looked at each
and every one of us and we nodded in reply. "let's say that by that time, the
invisibility spell will be gone so we'll sneak up to the room next to it where
there will be a secret passage to Tomoyo's room."
"I see... but what do we do then?" I asked.
"we'll fight. Those guys from the order don't actually ask explanations you
know." Syaoran said, standing up. "in the meantime, let's get some shut-eye."
Rika and Lucas nodded in agreement. We were then instructed that Rika and I
sleep on the bed while the two men sleep on the floor. Rika agreed with me to
give them the pillows since we were already sleeping on a matress. It was hard
to force them but they agreed anyway.
We were awakened by Syaoran early in the morning. Looking outside the window,
the sky was still dark, showing no signs of the sun.
"wake up! it'll be better if we do our plan now." he whispered in my ear.
I groaned and forced myself to rise from the softness of the bed. Wiping my
eyes, I noticed that there were black garments on the table. "Syaoran, what are
those?" I ponted at the table.
Syaoran looked back then said, "those are shadow suits. It works best at night,
but we'll have to manage with the early morning."
"vat zen? vat vill ve do vith zose? vear zem?" Rika asked in a sleepy tone.
"exactly. That's why you have to wake up." Syaoran replied.
The next moment after Syaoran had awakened Lucas, he left Rika and I inside the
room to change into our suits. The garment was very light and elastic. It clung
to our skin the moment we wore it. It was very fitting and it showed well our
curves.
"you are so sexzy madam!" Rika giggled.
I blushed. "n-not really..."
After that, we wore our old dress atop the shadow suits. I knocked on the door
thrice to signal that we were done. Syaoran entered and it was now our time to
wait outside. After a few moments, a knock came to the door and we were allowed
inside. Syaoran and Lucas were wearing their suits with a grey-colored cloak on
top. Then he bid us to remove our clothes. Both of us blushed and in reply,
Syaoran looked away(even though we were wearing our suits) and made Lucas look
away and then he handed us our cloaks. Rika and I hurriedly stipped out of the
dresses and put on the cloaks.
"we're ready now." we both said.
Syaoran turned around and nodded. "let's go."
The dakness in the sky was already slowly lifting up when we reached the back
door. It was very well-disguised and unrecognizable. The West wall of Tomoyo's
home had drawings on them, beautiful drawings. When we reached the north end,
there was a beautiful drawing of a door. I didn't know that THAT was the door
until Lucas whispered something to it and it swung open towards us. Ivy covered
the entrance. Syaoran was going to hack it off when Lucas spoke up.
"don't yer hakin' and slashin' will do ye no good! that there is the curtain of
invisibility that I'm talkin' 'bout. The mistress purposedly disguised it was ivy
vines." he nodded, then passed though the vines like it didn't exist.
We then followed his example. I was the last to enter and when I did, I felt like
ice-cold water was being poured on me and the next moment, everything was normal
again.
After we all passed and Lucas closed the door again, Rika took the lead and led
us into the heart of the garden where the fountain was.
"vi careful. Ze garden iz encanted to look like a lavirynth to a stranger's eyes.
you'll get lost if you lozt contact with ve." Rika warned us before moving on. We
all nodded and followed her carefully.
Indeed, it did looked like a labyrinth - even if it was only to us. There were
lots of twists and turns here and there. When you looked up, the hedges seem to
grow up to twenty feet into the air. In short, it was maddening. I fell twice of
dizziness and it became Syaoran's constant job to catch me each time I fell. I think
I was already on the brink of loosing my sanity when we reached the fountain.
It was worth it.
The fountan was very magnificent and very tall. The topmost part had a statuette
of a woman sitting on a cloud amd the water showered via the cloud and made it
look like it was raining on a little floating island, whose rivers fell off the
cliff and down into a pool with mermaid and merman statuettes that were playing.
The water in the pool then cascaded into another pool that was held there by a
very thick pillar that was five feet high. The water that pored off from that pool
then fell on to the last pool(that was just above the ground) in an amazing array
of patterns(like some forming a horse, a butterfly, etc..) that changed every
second.
"WOW! this is beautiful!" I said, Syaoran hushed me.
"ves it iz.... very beautiful vut I vish zat you'll zee zis in a divrent time."
Rika said, "lord Syaoran, ze door iz on ze pillar. Just say voomaflizsh 'an it
vill open. Ve'll ve going now." with that, Rika and Lucas left, heading eastward.
"where are they going?" I asked.
Syaoran stepped into the fountain he shivered a little. "to the maid's quarters.
We'll be doing this alone."
I just stared at him for a while. I wasn't prepared for it.
Then, I heard him say, "Voomaflizsh" and waited. But then nothing happened.
"what the..."
"wait. I think you got something wrong." I told him
"what's wrong 'bout it? I said what Rika told me to."
"no...Rika has a Wilfreedan accent. Let me do it." Syaoran stepped away and I
stepped into the water and shivered. It was very cold. "woomaflitch." I said.
There was a gurgling sound then the water stopped falling. The pillar suddenly
had a hole on it and it was clearly shown that it was hollow.
"wow..." Syaoran said, "I wonder what would have happened to me if you weren't
here.."
"probably lost in the labyrinth." I said, looking at the overgrown hedges then
I cringed at my hateful memory of it. "shall we?"
Syaoran nodded then looked in the tunnel. "I wonder how this thing goes."
"you just enter it, I guess." I said, peeping in it.
"okay. Here goes nothing." he said, then stepped into the hole. The moment he
did that, he disappeared.
A hollow formed in my stomach. "oh boy...." I murmured. Then, gathering up all
my courange, I stepped in. I suddenly felt an upward pulling sensation and a
feeling of moving then...poof! the darkness of the labyrinth was gone.
