Chapter 33
"And who are you to tell me that?" the shadow asked.
"I am who you fear." I answered him. I knew it to be truth and I knew also that
he only considers it as a lie. "You may believe it or not." I added.
He only smirked at me. "I must say that I AM impressed of the magic that you used
to free yourself from my chains. Those were my best work at it. I see that I must
work at it again." He said.
"Sakura, this is my..." Syaoran started to say.
I faced him and caressed his face. "No, my love." I told him, "I must finish
this. You know that well enough." He pursed his lips, nodded, smiled at me and
walked away. I looked back at Syaoran's shadow to see it staring at Syaoran in
disbelief.
"You let yourself be defeated by this girl?" he said.
"I WILL finish you." I said firmly
He again looked back on me and smirked. "As you wish." He then bowed to me and
jumped back, and did his fighting stance the moment he landed.
I touched the pendant that hung around my neck. I knew it well now, ever since
all the knowledge and memories that was once locked inside me had been freed.
"Key of the Stars," I started to say...
"With powers burning bright,
Reveal the staff,
And shine your light!
Release!"
At once the pendant removed itself from the chain and transformed into a staff
that was as tall as I, with a transparent crystalline shaft that revealed all the
colors of the rainbow and a six-pointed crystal star surrounded by a silver halo
that had tiny golden angel wings attached to the sides of it. "Prepare yourself."
I said, but then I remembered that I hadn't got the cards and I only saw the Watery
and the Windy before.
"Your ladyship," A voice said behind me. I looked around and saw Mr. Clow Reed.
*Of course! How could I forget him!* I thought. "I think you need this." He said,
and from the insides of his robes appeared the book of Clow.
"Mr. Clow Reed!" I said smiling. "How could I forget? I'm glad that we met again."
I said.
"It is nice to see you back to your old self again, Sakura." He told me, as he
threw the book to me.
"Same here." I told him with a smile as I caught the book with precision ease.
"Oh! I saw the Windy and the Watery cards loose!" I told him.
He smiled. "I did that in purpose."
"Can we PLEASE start?" the shadow's voice shouted, making me just make what Mr.
Reed said a mental note.
I threw the book high up into the air and replied, "Certainly. Book of Clow,
release!" I shouted, making the book open up and scatter the cards about me; with
the cards themselves rearranging into a circle about me. After that, the book
closed and disappeared, as with the cards, like it should.
"That won't work on me." The shadow said.
"Let's try it." I said, and then summoned a card. I held my staff aloft and the
crystal star twirled and sparkled. "Light card! Release and Dispel!" the Light
Card appeared above my staff and the star twirled faster as the wings on the side
grew bigger as the card released its powers.
"What the..." I heard the shadow said.
The brightness of the Light Card filled the room and all shadows were gone. Mr.
Reed was released from his cage and all of Syaoran's wounds were healed. "I am the
light that of which you fear." I told him once again.
"I'm not afraid of the light." He told me, and he disappeared to attack.
"Where did he go?" Syaoran said.
I lowered my staff and the Light appeared beside me, still beautiful as usual.
"I'm glad you're back." She said.
"Me too." I replied while keeping alert. Suddenly, the Light turned around and
something bright flashed behind my back. There was an agonized shout and I turned
around to see the shadow lying on his back, shielding his eyes, his sword clearly
out of reach. "Thanks." I told her. She smiled. "Sword! Release and Dispel!"
immediately, the staff I held became a sword with a crystal blade and a light-pink
colored handle. There was a pink, Cherry Blossom-shaped crystal on the hilt. And
at once, I placed the tip underneath his chin.
"You know well that I cannot be killed by that." He told me.
I smirked. "I know that well. But this is different." I told him and I plunged my
blade directly in his heart. The blade shimmered and out of it beams of light flew.
The shadow looked at me, wide-eyed.
"N-no!" it shouted as it disappeared forever.
When he was totally gone, the called back the cards I released and my staff became
a pendant once again. And then our surroundings started to become distorted.
"W-what's happening?" I asked.
"He's gone now." Syaoran's voice told me. He was standing behind me and so I
turned around and faced him. "Thank You." he told me, and he kissed me lightly on
the lips.
Even after that moment, I still had my eyes closed and when I opened it, we were
back to where the Averins were landed.
*Sakura...* a voice inside my head spoke. It was a kind male voice, gentle but
firm. I knew it very well.
"Father..." I said, facing to where Fujitaka Kinomoto, my father, was standing
and approached him. I had totally forgotten him during the fight, but now I knew I
would cherish this moment forever. "I-I thought I'd never see you again..."
*Me too.* he told me while smiling. *Do you remember now?* he asked. I knew by
that that he was asking about my brother, who was none other than King Touya
Svaldifari. I nodded. After that, I was so overwhelmed with emotion that I embraced
my father. I have missed him so much. After a moment or two, my father said, *what
about your friends? They're loosing time, my dear.* He told me.
I broke my embrace and looked at the field. Eriol was being mourned on by his
Averin, Thunderstorm while Mr. Reed was checking on Tomoyo. I knew what I had to
do. Now that I was the Angel of Light again, I knew I had the power to bring them
back. "Please bring them here." I requested. Mr. Reed and Syaoran abided by bringing
their bodies before me. I breathed deeply. I knew what I had to do but it had been
a long time.
I looked at the sky and raised my hands up high. Then, I abruptly returned my
hands to my sides, a little bit away from my body, with palms outward. The Sacred
Circle that was imprinted on the back of the Book of Clow appeared underneath the
two bodies. It glowed a brilliant gold and it pulsated with a golden light. Then I
cited:
"Open to me Gate of Heaven,
Hear me and let me in.
I plead to you and ask your blessings,
Bring to me the Golden Light!"
A pair of wings sprouted from my back and a golden light pierced through the
clouds and shone on Tomoyo and Eriol. There was a bright flash, a shower of
feathers and then a sudden eruption of colors then... everything went blank.
"Thank You, Sakura." I heard Tomoyo's gentle voice before I finally blacked out.
