The Forgotten Magic: The Stars
Section One; Chapter Four - The First Star
After yesterday's experience, Sakura immediately telephoned
Syaoran and Tomoyo to tell them what had happened. Sakura knew
she would need their help capturing the star that Sunnie had said
was at the zoo.
They decided to go at night, so that no one would see. Nymn and
Doulg came along with Sakura, Tomoyo, and Syaoran. They were
experienced in magic too. Touya had decided to stay with Kero and
Hui to watch over Sunnie.
Everyone walked together except Syaoran, who was busy being
jealous that Sakura was talking with Doulg.
"Where did Sunnie say it was again?" Tomoyo asked Nymn,
"Where in the zoo?"
"She said something about seeing a giant penguin in her
dream."
"The penguin's slide?"
"That must be it."
When they arrived at the near empty zoo, Sakura had some last
minute questions, "How do I capture the star again?"
Syaoran crossed his eyes, "They've told you about fifty
times already"
Doulg ignored Syaoran and answered Sakura's question, "All
you have to do is find out what the star's name is, say it out
loud, and command it to return to it's original form."
"That's sounds easy enough." Tomoyo was sure that
Sakura could do this.
Doulg held up his index finger, "Not so fast, Sakura also
has to make the star believe that she is strong enough to capture
it."
"Oh, well, okay" Tomoyo looked at Sakura,
"Good luck Sakura!"
Sakura had a sweat-drop fall down the back of her head,
"Thanks Tomoyo."
Tomoyo gave her a big smile, "No problem Sakura!"
Syaoran pointed at the penguin slide, "Look!"
They all ran towards the slide, Syaoran got there first. A yellow
light filled the area, Nymn gasped, "I know that one! It's
from our homeland in Australia!"
Doulg took a few seconds to compose himself from the sprint,
"Ithat's knowledge!"
Sakura ran to the light, "You're knowledge, I command you to
return to your original form!"
The light shaped itself into a bright yellow star. It sprouted
wings and flew through the air. A loud booming voice called out
form it, "Why do you believe yourself to be strong enough to
capture me, the star of all knowledge?"
"Knowledge! I understand the legend of the stars!"
Syaoran was puzzled, "How did she know what to say?"
Nymn closed his eyes, "The words, they come from her
heart."
Sakura grasped the star necklace as the star spoke to her,
"You have proven yourself worthy by your knowledge of the
stars, because of this you are ready."
The star shot into the necklace, as there was a blinding yellow
light. Everyone shielded their eyes.
When the light dimmed, Sakura looked down at the star necklace
and saw a bright yellow charm on the necklace.
