Ascension
Chapter 1
"Hey, what's this?"
An unusual letter came in the mail one day for Sakura Avalon. Actually, it was more of an invitation than a letter. Inside of it were written these words:
To Miss Sakura Avalon,
The Council of Elders requests the honour of your presence. We invite you to come to Hong Kong on the 27th of July. Your time of ascension may be close at hand!
Sincerely,
The Council of Elders
Sakura didn't know what to make of this. She decided to ask Keroberos about it. Keroberos (or "Kero" as his friends were fond of calling him) was the guardian of the Clow Book and therefore knew a lot about magic. Surely he would know what the invitation meant. But he didn't.
"I dunno Sakura," Kero said. "This one's got me stumped too!"
"You mean you've never heard of this ascension thing either?" Sakura asked. "I thought you were suppose to know stuff like this!"
"Hey, I don't know EVERYTHING! I mean, I didn't know you were goin' to turn the Clow Cards into Star Cards but ya did! Like I keep sayin': 'expect the unexpected'."
Sakura grumbled. Then she got an idea. "I know! I'll ask Li! He's from Hong Kong, maybe he knows!"
Li Showran was a friend of Sakura's, even though they didn't start out that way. When Sakura first released the Clow Cards from the book, Li-a descendant of Clow Reed-was sent to try and recapture them himself. In the end, however, Yue passed judgement to Sakura, making her the Mistress of the Cards.
Sakura rang Li's doorbell. A few seconds later, Li answered.
"Oh, uh, hi Sakura," said Li, fighting back a blush. Over the years, Li had developed warm feelings towards his former rival. However, he never quite felt comfortable expressing those feelings.
"Hey Li! You don't mind me stopping over unannounced, do you?"
"Uh, no, not at all. Come in." Li led Sakura into his home. "Can I, uh, get you anything?"
"No, that's fine. Listen, I was wondering if you could help me out with something."
"Sure. What is it?"
"Well, I got this weird invitation in the mail. Apparently it's from Hong Kong and it was sent by something called the Council of-"
"--Elders? The Council of Elders?" A surprised look came across Li's face.
"Uh, yeah. You've heard of them?"
Li snatched the invitation from Sakura's hands. He immediately opened it and began reading it for himself.
"I, I don't believe it-" Li whispered.
"Li, what's this all about?"
But Li did not reply. Instead, he fainted flat on his face.
"Li!" Sakura bent down to her fainted friend. "Li, are you okay? Speak to me!"
But Li was out like a light. Whatever that invitation was about, it had startled the heck out of Li.

Please leave me your response. This is my first Cardcaptors fic so you'll have to excuse me if it's not that good. If you didn't like it, I'll just bugger off and you'll never have to hear from me again.
