Hey all! Thank you all so much for the reviews. For those of you who wish to read about more action straight away instead of the introduction to the characters from the prophesy, you can read about the prophesized ones in action in any one of the following.
1) The Circle
2) Off-guard.
3) Nokoru's secret (this is only telling you about the story from Nokoru's side before he met up with the rest.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[ Why didn't I think of it before? ] King Himoto hit his head with his palm, amazed at his own stupidity. [ I can find Tayoshi by focusing on his aura! ] Eagerly, he closed his eyes and concentrated, trying to sense the familiar aura.
Much to his despair, he could not sense Tayoshi's aura anywhere. [ What am I going to do? ]
* * * * * *
The angel heaved a sigh of relief. They were standing in a glen in CLAMP Campus. [ For an instant there, I thought I failed to cloak the aura. I only wish there were some other way. But the one with the golden aura has to be separated from his family or he'll never gain strength. ]
[Now my little one] she spoke to the child in her mind. [ It is time for the test.] She slowly unfolded her arms, and the infant hovered in the air in front of her, his shiny golden aura radiating from him like the sun.
"Ancient powers burning bright,
Come forth and show your might!
Phoenix guardian I summon thee,
Accept this child in front of me!"
She suddenly chanted. There was a loud screech. The golden aura of the infant began to shimmer, slowly gathering to take the form of the guardian beast summoned by the angel. The angel waited anxiously.
[ Will the phoenix accept him as the host? ] she wondered, her heart pounding painfully in her chest. The phoenix could only be summoned by the angels for it to choose its host. However, though powerful, the phoenix had a reputation for being a very selective guardian, and had rejected many infants as its host. One of the prophesized ones was supposed to be the host for the powerful but temperamental phoenix. Though the High Council of the Angels had believed that Tayoshi was one of the prophesized ones because of his aura, no one could be entirely certain, and the best judge would be the phoenix. Only when the phoenix accepted this fair- haired child could they be certain that he was the chosen one.
The phoenix enveloped the child. The angel looked on, wondering if she were about to see the miracle that they had been waiting for. Without any warning, both child and bird took off into the sky. Together they flew, making complicated loops effortlessly, the child laughing with pleasure at its flight. The phoenix let loose a final screech, folded its wings protectively around the child, and began to fade away, entering the child the way a genie returned back into its lamp. The angel cheered. [ You're the one! You ARE the one after all. Oh little Tayoshi, we've found you at last! Now, it's time for you to be reborn. ] She said telepathically to the child.
To her surprise, as suddenly as it had begun, the aura of the child shut off, like a bulb which had blown its fuse. The child plummeted downwards towards the hard ground below. She gave a gasp of horror, and using her powers, managed to catch the baby before it hit the ground. It had fallen fast asleep, exhausted with its adventures that day.
Smiling a little, the angel cradled Tayoshi close, and teleported into the Rijichou's office. There, the Rijichou of CLAMP School waited for the angel to arrive. The angel smiled at the Rijichou, handed the baby to her, and faded away once more, leaving the Rijichou alone with the baby.
The Rijichou looked down at the sleeping child in her arms. [ I will protect you ] she vowed silently. [ And teach you all that you must know. My child…I shall name you Nokoru. ] she said.
Oblivious to her words, little Imonoyama Nokoru slept on.
