It was not to test the extent of my powers.. not in the least... I had already created Rubi Muun and Spinel Sun to be the guardians of the sun.. and moon. .to balance out the scales, if you will.. I needed two more .. Keroberos was one.. A winged lion.. strong.. fierce.. loyal.. just one more. I decided to capture the beauty of the full moon in the night sky in the last guardian, whom I had decided to name Yue.. after the moon itself The night on which Yue was created, the moon was full and bright, and even though it was raining, I found Keroberos sitting on the front lawn. When I asked him what he was doing, he merely said he was waiting for Yue.. I could only smile and stroke the cat's head before going to my study. Creating Yue would prove to be a bit more difficult than the other three.. for there would have to be that ultimate beauty within the creature that wasn't there before.. but I had no idea.. no idea whatsoever what I was about to create.. it would be my greatest masterpiece.. and my greatest weakness.
As I was creating his life force, I saw the form of Yue through the light of the magic and nearly stopped in mid-spell, which would've been disastrous, but I kept my composure and waited until I saw the winged figure collapse against the ground that I stopped and ran to him, kneeling and drawing the being into my arms. He began to open his eyes, and as he did, I knew that I had created the full beauty of the moon. Yue's head tilted to the side as he looked at me silently. "Hello.." He said softly. I smiled.
"Hello, Yue.."
"M..master?" His eyes sought mine and for an instant, my heart stopped.
"Yes.. I.. I am your master... Clow Reed." I was stammering.. never before had that happened to me.. one of the greatest, most powerful sorcerers in existence, stammering over a creature such as this.. I have a feeling that any of the other sorcerers would've been tripping over themselves as well. Like a child, I ran a hand along Yue's wings and saw him shiver, and I remembered that Rubi's wings had been very sensitive at first as well. I apologized, but remembered something else.. Yue had been created to be without emotion.. then again.. so had Rubi.. and her favorite game was toying with my servants..and that required emotion in the highest sense.. happiness.. cynicism.. was insanity considered an emotion?
Yue sat up weakly, and I watched him with curious eyes, waiting to see if he would be everything I had hoped he would be.. His eyes found mine again.. blue as the ocean.. I had only been to the ocean once, but anyone, even those who had never seen the ocean would've agreed.. another thing about Yue's eyes was the total innocence I found there.. naiveté, if you will. He didn't know hatred, greed, pain... and I hoped, as pathetic as it was, that he never would feel those things..
Keroberos padded into the room and practically tackled Yue off of the desk, and I chuckled softly to myself. "Keroberos.. this is Yue."
"Konyanichiyawa, Yue-san!" He looked strangely child-like in a way.. after seeing Spinel Sun and Rubi bickering like brother and sister for so long, I suppose for him, this was like Christmas.
"H..hello.." Yue looked at him nervously, and then to me, as if to make sure this was a -safe-, winged lion.
"Yue, this is your..." I stopped, blinking, and then saw Keroberos look towards me as well. "This is your brother, Keroberos." They looked to each other and both smiled.
"You wanna go get some pudding?" Keroberos hopped off the desk.
"Pudding?"
It seemed that already, they shared a common bond.
From that moment, they were inseparable, and loyal not only to each other, but me as well.. they both knew of the power they held, the great magic within them, but were content not using it.. to enjoy their "childhood". I hoped they wouldn't need their magic while I still lived.. for it was after I was no longer there to protect them that they would truly need it.
