It's a small thing that causes a huge difference. So small that no one actually notice. But if you take one of Tomoyo's tape, rewind it and play again in slow motion, there is a split second when the card mistress will jerk back, either when using a card or capturing a card. Inside, she is still afraid, it's still new no matter how long it had been that she comes to know magic. That fear is what put another world in danger...

"How is your side holding?" Crouching on a tree branch, hidden by a shadow. The figure watch with interest as some men in red armour try to light a fire in the centre of a camp.

There is a little vibration from the device before a voice sound through the headpiece, "This side army made no move or any special movement like sending out spies but I know they are up to something. How is your side Windy?"

One of the two soldiers points a finger at the pile of woods and concentrate. A little spark came from the tip of his finger then came a large burst of fire, scaring the two soldiers to step back and fall on their backside. Windy giggle lightly, "Well, this side isn't doing anything much but the entertainment is great."

"This is not play time Windy. Watery told me that this morning, the west side start moving out. It's starting Windy and we have to stop it." The voice from the other end said in an annoyed tone but sad voice. "We can't do this alone."

Windy sigh lightly and watch the two soldiers looking for any type of matches. "I know Earthy but what else can we do? If mistress continues to fear us, our power will never be complete. Remember that she is our power source, only if she stops distrusting us, even if it's only a little bit but it's enough to stop us from our full power."

"I know that. Dream have been sending dreams concerning this world to her when she sleeps but she still regards it as nothing else. Unless we-"

"No. We can't let her get involve in this as well." Windy reply quickly, interrupting Earthy's thoughts.

Earthy sigh from the other end, "But if we don't bring her here, she will continue to distrust us and we'll never get behind the cities walls and couldn't find out what happen to create this mess."

"But bringing her here might also make her distrust us more. It's too big a risk."

"And it's a risk we must take or else this is the end of the Spiritual world for sure!" Then there is a deep inhale of air and exhale into a deep sigh before Earthy speaks again, "Look, it's either bringing her here in a last desperate attempt to stop this on-coming war or watch the world as we know it go bye bye while sooner or later we will be dead as well. To me, it's a worthy risk. Some of the others think so too."

Windy stay silence for a while, deep in thought before she answers lightly as if saying the words bring her pain. "But this world is too dangerous. In fact, once she land she might be killed."

"I have talked about this with Watery and Firey beforehand. We should have enough power to send our mistress and that Syaoran boy here. Yue and Ceroberus need to be sealed off back to the book in order to enter and we haven't enough energy to send them here anyway, so they are out of the question." Earthy reply.

Windy frown lightly, "Is that enough? Just our mistress and that Syaoran boy? Remember Earthy, she's coming to our world; she can't summon us like she did when she's in her world. We are our own being here. And without us by her side, I'm a little worried."

The little device clipped to her belt around her waist vibrate once more as a new voice join in. "I'll watch over them." The voice said. Taking the device from her belt, she look at the tiny screen, it flashes with letters.

"Will you now, Firey? It's dangerous. People that aren't suppose to be here automatically attracting others that want to cross the barrier. It's very dangerous, in fact, I think it's too dangerous for-" Earthy was once again interrupted.

"Oh please. Spare me that talk. I might be the youngest of the four elements but I can hold my own, you know." Firey said, annoyed.

Windy giggle at the usual argument between Earthy and Firey. Earthy think Firey as a kid, unable to defend himself but Firey sure don't agree. "Earthy, give him a go. He really can hold out on his own. Beside, he's the one that so far have nothing much to do and your post needs you there." She can imagine Earthy frowning and Firey smirking.

Finally, with a sigh, Earthy replies, "Okay Firey, you will go watch over them. But don't screw this up please."

"What? You aren't still mad about that last time Twin throws me into the lake, are you? It's not even my fault!"

'There they go again.' Windy giggle as she watch down to the ground of the two soldiers unsuccessful on making a fire. 'I wonder how long till we can joke like old times again? How long till this on-coming war will finally stop on its process? That is, we can stop it before it start.'
