Chapter 11-Eli Moon's mysterious kindness
Yue and Anomalous escorted Crystal into the main room, where Eli Moon sat, waiting.
Yue faced what could partly could be considered his old master, partly couldn't, depending on how you looked at it.
Anomalous faced what could partly could be considered her master, partly couldn't, depending on how you looked at it.
Eli Moon smiled at Crystal. "So you are Crystal Grey." Crystal nodded, as she came forward. "I must apologize for our first meeting. Anomalous didn't exactly allow me to thank you." Thanks for making me look like an idiot!
Eli nodded. Crystal took a deep breath. "The story as I know it, goes like this." And Crystal told what had happened to her mother, whose name hadn't been revealed to her. Somehow, during conception, the angel who was to deliver her soul to her body was misdirected, told the girl had died. So, after a few seconds alive, the angel took back the soul, and released it to a careful one, who would watch it. But this one knew her earthsuit had survived.
Crystal turned to Anomalous. "For that, I owe her my life." She turned back to Eli. "And by creating her card, you gave her the ability to become visible, and speak to you. She is not exactly a perfect spirit, slightly rotting while she floated us from home to home. But in the end, she did get my message across."
She took a deep breath, and asked the question that he would either gladly accept, or angrily decline. "As I was the only one who sensed your new cards, even though I was only a few minutes old, and the other Cardcaptors have had months, I am informed that you are challenging me to become a Cardcaptor." Eli nodded. *She IS the one I sensed. No wonder I couldn't find her!* "As Sakura has Yue as her guardian, I ask you if Anomalous can be mine." Eli smiled.
~*~*~*~*~*~the suspense!~*~*~*~*~*~
"You wish to repay Anomalous for the kindness she has shown you. I understand that. You also want to save her from the punishment of not following her order, as she was supposed to. So you want to grant both justice AND mercy. Unfortunately, the only example I know of was not exactly human. So I must decline your request. However, as I will delete your incoming problem, I will take Anomalous, and form her into a guardian for myself.
Crystal smiled. Thank you, Eli Moon for listening to my request, and answering fairly. I look forward to meeting my next card. Eli smiled back. Somehow, I doubt she will be quite as entertaining as this one.
Crystal slowly left, taking her two guards with her. Eli Moon thought carefully. *Crystal currently appears stronger than Sakura. However, this test will be much more difficult than the one assigned to Sakura and Li. If she makes it, I may find my confidant.*
Eli remembers Alex laying on the floor of his apartment. *If only Li would go down as easily. Tests must be fair, and according to them, any harm done must be to them. But if they are truly strong, they must press past that.*
