Daphne: "Hello all! I am back, after a hectic month of testing and struggling to get through end-of-year torture, courtesy of the beings we know as 'teachers'. I have been working on all of my stories, but I have decided to also start this one, and see what you think…All right, I'll admit it. A friend of mine requested that I put this up so she could read it, and she threatened to throw Kero in the garbage (not that I would mind, on some days!), so how could I resist? Anyway, I am warning you right now that this is not your run-of-the-mill Sakura+Syaoran story. It may be a bit different, but I sort of like it, so what-the-hey?! Anyway, on with the story! (It will be horribly short, and I am sorry!)

World Beyond the Mist

by: Daphne Li

Prologue



To my dearest daughter,

You shall never receive this. The peace is gone and Namair is approaching his goal…but I shall never allow him to reach it. Only when the four stones of Rheum are returned to the 'frame', will peace return to our world. Four stones scattered in the dead of night, each must return to the hands of its color.

The hands…soulmates, my daughter. Soulmates…but you shall never know. You are safe in their world. Your mother's world. And you, my daughter, will never know of us, god willing, my little flower will stay safe and never know of the horror that has taken place. Never…

A/N:

Daphne: "Hi! I know that this was confusing…it even confused me…but it will get better! I have been working on this story for a while, and I will make everything clear in the later chapters. I do not want to give anything away, but I do want to assure you that this is a S+S fic! They just won't come in until later in the chapter…or should I say, Syaoran won't. Sakura will be in the next chapter. Now, you must have noticed by now that on a few of my stories, I have made a lesser character closer to Sakura than the others, such as in my story, "Palace of the Wolves", I made Naoko a main character. In this one the new main character will be…um…I can't really tell you…but you will like her, I hope! Anyway, I just want to ask you to please review and tell me what you think! I really want to know."
