It was a foggy day, the day that they set out. Touya and Syaoran rode on Keroberos's back, Yue flew in the front guiding them, and Sakura flew on her wand by Yue. One lone figure waved a farewell at the group before stumbling and closing his eyes. He would not open them again. After 7 gruesome hours in an air bubble (used as a shield and source of the much needed air) flying in a cold region, they finally reached the Ere de Noom mountain range. Protruding out of the middle of the range was Ere Candin. That was wear they would find the prince of darkness, Yue thought. A powerful magic emitted itself from the fortress and Yue grew wary. They would have to be vigil. Upon reaching the gate of the fortress, the doors swung open. After they stepped inside, the air bubble popped. All of them landed gently on the ground, Keroberos muttering about his aching back. The hall was dimly lit, for only a few torches and candles were seen. While they scrutinized the stonewall full of unique carvings, pale white beings cloaked in black silk approached them. They followed these beings and soon encountered two large dark purple marbled doors. This too was ornately decorated. The beings gently opened the door, the group filed in. The room was dark as well, and as a throne room should, it was long. Apart from that, it was empty, completely void of anything except a few dark curtains and paintings at the end of the room. As they drew nearer, they saw the prince of the night sitting on the black marbled throne. He looked at them with coldness and with aloof. Sitting at the steps of the throne was a purple-haired girl. As Sakura and the girl's eyes met, there was an intake of breath.
"Sakura."
"Tomoyo." That was all there was to say. In a flurry of whirling skirts, they were in each other's arms. The others could only stare, a bridge had already been formed.
"Oh Tomoyo! I missed you so much!" Sakura sobbed into her friend's shoulder. "Me too, me too." That was all Tomoyo could say.
Over Sakura's shoulder, she could see Eriol mouthing, 'did you tell her?" She shook her head. Eriol sighed, then beckoned to her. He was not patient and the quicker it was said, the quicker it was done. Tomoyo forced herself from her friend's embrace and walked dutifully over to Eriol's side. Sakura just stood there, surprised at her friend's sudden absence from her arms, from their reunion.
Eriol cleared his throat. Five pairs of eyes grew fixed on him. "King Fujikata Kinomoto of the Kinomoto kingdom is as of now, deceased. He was been dead for over 7 hours now." He said in a cool voice.
Touya turned pale. He was the king now. Sakura could only stare at her feet, shoulders trembling. Syaoran attempted to walked over to take her in his arms, but her guardians beat him to it. Yue's large pure white wings embraced his crying mistress, effectively blocking the sound of her sobs. Keroberos stationed himself in front of his brother guardian. They both knew that Sakura was now in her weakest state. Furthermore, this prince was very powerful and could take advantage of her. They glared at the prince, willing to risk their lives for their mistress. Eriol spoke up once more. His curiosity was getting the better of him. He knew that the mistress these guardians were protecting was strong. In fact, he had felt the power when she came in, and was surprised. She was as strong was he was! Such an occurrence was not good. Now that she was in her weak state, information would come easier. "Now, since you're all here, I'd like to know the prophecy that has brought you to my icy realm."
Four pairs of eyes glared at him defiantly. He rewarded them with his infamous smirk. They weren't going to tell him, amidst the sadness he could tell. Then it was time for Plan B. "Well, since your not going to tell me, I'll pry into your stubborn brains and find out myself! For no one is supposed to say no to Prince Hirragazawea! Your scars will be your reminder for the rest of your life!" He started to emit a dark blue power. It picked up Syaoran, Yue, Keroberos, and Touya. Sakura fell to the ground wiping of the tears off her red eyes she stared. Suddenly, the floating group started to convulse, clearly in pain, all of them gave a roar of pain to prove those in doubt. Eriol smiled. It was indeed like taking candy from a baby. Suddenly the power was blocked. He opened his eyes, to reveal an angry glow of pink surrounding him.
"YOU WANT TO KNOW THE PROPHECY, I'LL SHOW YOU!" Sakura bellowed. Eriol stared into the eyes of the blazing emerald eyes, no longer gentle, but fiery. The tremendous burst of energy that was emitted from her was overpowering, and he soon fell subject to her will. Falling unconscious, he relived the prophecy from the old man. Tomoyo rushed to his side, cradling his head in her arms. Sakura had changed so drastically over the years. For one, who knew she had such power! The Sakura she had known was gentle and understanding. She turned back to look at Sakura once more. The pink aura hadn't left her. However, now she was floating in the air, head tilted back, eyes closed. Her aura reached to her fellow comrades and gently healed them. They awoke rubbing their heads, but smiling. Tomoyo smiled, perhaps she hadn't changed that much.
Eriol groaned as he awoke. The prophecy that the old man spoke of, it was one of the sacred Oracles from before time! Such prophecies were not to be taken lightly, for all said always came true. By now, he could tell the mistress had healed everyone. She was glowering at him. He gulped. He had some explaining to do.
