Five hundred years ago, we - the Clow Cards - were sealed in a special book. Our guardian fell asleep and a young girl released us from our confinement. Now we are being recaptured one by one. These are our stories.
*****
+Episode 1b - Migration Flight+
As birds migrate to certain areas in the winter, so do Clow Cards when we are scattered. We can sense each other and gradually move towards cards that have been captured. I am the Fly card, and this is the story of my capture.

It was the night of the day we cards had been scattered. My senses told me a captured card was nearby. As soon as it grew dark I stretched my wings and began to circle the town. A Cardcaptor had been chosen, I could feel it. But I wasn't exactly sure who it would be. No matter, the Cardcaptor would eventually come to me.
About half an hour later, I felt the presence of the Cardcaptor approach me. Wait a minute though, that was just a little girl on wheeled shoes. I circled back around and saw Kero's "fairy" form following and speaking to the girl. So this girl *was* the Cardcaptor.
I decided to just fly back and forth causing big gusts to blow at her. It would be a perfect test. She would be able to catch me no matter what card she had, *if* she was smart enough. Unfortuneately, all the girl seemed to be doing was running. After a particularly powerful swoop, I paused - hovering in the air. The girl stopped as well and pulled the Key from her pocket. Finally we were getting somewhere. The girl began the incantation.
"The Key that hides the powers of the Dark. Show your true form before me. I, Sakura, command you under our contract. RELEASE!"
The Sealing Rod appeared in Sakura's hand. I swooped again, this time gusting her off the edge of the roof we were on. Kero caught her and placed her back on the roof. After a few more minutes of "gust and dodge" she used her wheeled shoes to move up the peak of the roof and jump on my back.
I took flight again and caught a glimpse of Kero's face. He looked almost royally pissed off at my actions, a look rarely seen in Clow Reed's day. Heh. I returned my attention back to Sakura. She had pulled out her only card and was beginning to speak. "Wind become a binding chain. WINDY!" Windy wound herself around me and gently pulled Sakura and I to the ground. Then Sakura stood in front of me. "Return to the guise you were meant to be in. CLOW CARD!" Obediently, I allowed her to return me to my card form. She inscribed her name below mine and then, Lady Sakura took me for a spin before returning home.

Authors Notes: All incantations were copied directly from the subtitles of the DVD (sorry dubbies). Kero's "fairy" form is his small plush toy form...it was called small Kero in the dvd credits, but I figured that the cards may call it differently.
