next chapter! Enjoy!
~*********************************~
The group stood dumbfounded. 'Choose wisely' was the only thing the man had said. What were they to choose for? And what did he mean by 'If they wish for it, peace will come with marriage. If they wish it, evil will come, evil will come and dominate'?" And who was this prince of the night? Though everyone had a pretty good clue of who the princess of the sun was, even if she was still oblivious to it.
Sakura began to ponder aloud. "I wonder who this princess is. She sounds so cool! (at this everyone does an anime sweat-drop)"
"BUT, this prince sounds so familiar. Or rather, the 'purple-haired angel' does." Sakura began to pace, back and forth, back and forth. Silently, Fujikata ordered some servants to take the wise man's body away. He too wondered who this prince was, ESPECIALLY when the fate/destiny involved his daughter.
Sakura glanced around the room. No one seemed to have much of a clue. Her eyes fell on a painting of herself. She was in an elegant red gown, embroidered so magnificently and painted so intricately that only one person could have painted it. And then it hit her.
"Tomoyo." She said in a whisper.
"Who?" Everyone else asked simultaneously.
"It's Tomoyo! The one and only purple-haired angel! Then the prince must be."
"Eriol." Everyone finished.
The king cleared his old rusty throat. "My children. It is much presumed that you must go see this prince. Especially you, Sakura."
"Why me, Father? I want to stay and take care of you!"
Everyone rolled his or her eyes. "BECAUSE THE PRINCESS OF THE SUN IS YOU!"
"Oh," was all she could say.
"Besides, my dear," Fujikata continued gently, "I will not last long, I feel the presence near me. Perhaps tomorrow she shall come for me."
Touya and Sakura winced. Their father always talked of their mother as a presence and if she was to come for him, he was to die, soon.
Finally, Syaoran broke the silence. "Let's pack then, shall we?" The room burst into motion. Servants cluttered the halls as various luggage chests were brought forth. Meanwhile, the group started to map their course.
Yue, being the best at the geography and the world, seemed most attentive about the whereabouts of his mistress.
"The mountains of Ere Candin is where his fortress lies," Yue said in his usual cold voice. "It will be hard to reach by foot, I suggest we travel by air."
"But the air will get thin, how shall we breathe?" Syaoran argued. It was a surprise to most, Yue and Syaoran usually got along fairly well.
"Magic."
Sakura sat, clutching her brother not for fear, but for anxiety. There was something about Eriol that she could never place. First of all, she had never seen him. Second of all, from Tomoyo's past letters (before she had stopped writing completely), he seemed like a cruel person. Would he treat her with such disdain? She prayed not, but wouldn't that be expected from the prince of the night?
~****************Eriol's Castle (finally)********************~
The rustle of purple skirts came to view. The blue-haired prince smiled. Only she saw past his icy barriers; only she owned his heart. She,( who had effectively cut all her connections to the outside world)loved him, and him alone.
"Tomoyo, my love."
She smiled. "Eriol." Then she frowned. "What great urgency has come to trouble you?"
"Ah, my Tomoyo, always so to-the-point."
Tomoyo waved that aside. Eriol must have had something worrying him to be in such a blasé and yet humorous manner.
Seeing that she was not fooled, Eriol let down his act. "My dear, evil has come. Princess Kinomoto and her troupe will be coming to pay us a visit. It seems that their kingdom has fallen."
At that, Tomoyo cried out and slumped to the cold black marble floor. Eriol made no motion to get off his black marble throne, but his eyes depicted concern. He looked on, waiting for her permission to continue. After moments of dry sobs, she nodded her assent.
"They have learned of a prophecy and I have yet to learn what it is. But that doesn't concern you. What concerns you is that Princess Kinomoto's father will die the moment she reaches this palace. You are to tell her. For your past was once closely tied together."
Tomoyo nodded. Her poor friend! After all those years of being without Sakura, she had lost some of her light. But then to have her friend loose some of her light was unthinkable! How she longed to see her. Years of isolation had not given her all the comfort that she needed. To see her friend would be heavenly.
As Tomoyo's thoughts wandered, Eriol's arms circled her waist. Tomoyo sighed, how could she have lived without this man? And soon, they would be bound together, soul to soul, husband and wife.
