Chapter 3): Inner Power
It was almost time for the chior to sing on the plateau that overlooked the crowds attending the church today, tomoyo herself was quite nervous for it would be her first time singing in french with an audience. Plus she has a solo in the middle of the song that would put her on the spot for recognition. But that nervousness vanished the moment the chior mounted the stage and began to sing.
The song started off with a low pitch in a soothing lagato style, but then it transitioned into a well balanced beated rhythym putting a little slur in between. As the sopranos went higher in pitch with the altos to support, the tenors and bases seemed to become louder and more forceful with their notes. Henceforth the song grew into wonderfully contrasting piece that added vigor to the piece. Afterwards Tomoyo sung her solo, making her voice rise to the top of her octave and then falling in the lower octaves in deep thunderous notes.
The crowd viewed this breathtaking spectacle with awe. Such passion, such harmony, such vibration.....wait, vibration. At the end of Tomoyo,s solo the entire church seemed to vibrate under the music. Then suddenly, outside the windows, Oaks of many varieties began growing around the church at a rate that can only be described as magical or miraculous. By the time the trembling stopped the entire church was cloaked the canopy the the large oaks that ringed it, almost as if it had been there many long years.
Rita, who was observing the performance was flabbergasted, what could have caused the renewel of the Sacred Grove? Even as she thought this, she knew what the answer was, Tomoyo. While everyone else walked out of the church to observe the phenomenon of the grove, Rita approached Tomoyo with a little trepidation but with the confidence of one who believed in destiny.
Tomoyo saw her approach and ran off the stage to ask," What's happening? Why did these trees suddenly star growing so rapidly?"
Rita got to the point," Your singing is what revived these trees to their former glory. The power of music is quite formidable when it resides within a heart as rich as yours is. Now that you have done this what are you going to do now?"
" Wait a minute, I don't have any magical powers within me, I don't feel anything at all."
" Magic is not something that need be inherited, although it is stronger still, but druids don't use ordinary magic such as wizardry and mysticism. Our magic is rather, like a drop of crystalized water that heals the land when it hits the ground. You shall understand, in time."
Tomoyo hoped so, an incedent like at home would cause a calamity, but what can she do about this power of hers.

He sat cross legged on the ground at a temple near the outer skirts of Hong Kong, his name was Zuran and he was practicing levitaion, that is, the ability to float in mid air and bring other objects to float in mid air with him. The test was to see how many rocks he could levitate without exausting his body.
He slowly rose off the ground and stayed motionless in the air for a few moments before levitating the rocks of the pile he set before him. One by one they rose until fifteen rocks were in the air and he could pick up no more. He gently placed himself down onto the ground before releasing the rocks in a bucket set off to the side.

Meilin was visiting Wei during the afternoon. He had always acted nice to her so she decided to get him a gift for his birthday, which was today. During her early years Wei had trained both her and Syaoran to become martial artists. She remebered the many trails and tests she had to endure in order to master the art of unnarmed combat. A smile broke on her lips, yes those were the days that she yearned for, the peace and quiet of the temple grounds, the cheery laughter of other students and the fun times when she was training to become stronger. " Those were the good old days," she said allowed as she turned left down the sidewalk heading for Wei's house.
Of course, the thing was, Meilin was awfully bored with no one to talk to. Syaoron was overseas somewhere in America or, to be more precise, Flagstaff, Arizona. His sisters were energetic and played with her alot, but they couldn't compare to the reserved and displaced Syaoron that she admired. Now, she was visiting Wei with a suprise gift.
She walked along the sidewalk until she reached the house, gave a knock on the door, then waited for someone to answer. A boy opened the door to meet her. He was about as tall as she was with platinum hair and a very fox-like face as opposed to her dark raven hair and roundish face. He didn't seem to be any older than she was.
" Hi there," Meilin began," I,m looking for Wei."
Just then a familiar face came in to view that was unmistakeably Wei. His silver grey hair and tall figure was looking through the door to Meilin with a smile on his face.
" Ahh, Meilin," He hugged her as she ran into his arms," What are you doing here at this time?"
" Actually I came to give you a gift," she pulled out a wrapped package about the size of a fist." Happy Birthday!"
Wei thankfully took the package and said," You didn't have to do this." but he smiled and uncovered the package to reveal, a new pair of glasses.
" They're subsriptioned to your eyesight so their shouldn't be a problem," Meilin said.
" Thank you Meilin," Wei immediately donned the glasses to show his gratitude.
The platinum haired boy decided to interrupt at this point," How is it that you know each other yet I have not met you before," indicating Meilin.
" Oh, thats right," Wei said. " Let me introduce Zuran, and this is Meilin," indicating each respectively. " Zuran is one of the students that attend the school that you Meilin were trained."
Zuran turned to Meilin, " Well then, its a pleasure to meet you." He bowed and then stood up again to ask," How long have you been training?"
Meilin seemed to turn a little red from the attention, but she managed to control herself.
" I,ve stopped training at the school several years ago but I still practice to keep my skills up."
" That's great, would you like to spar with me?" Zuran asked." I haven't had anyone decent to practice with in a while."
Meilin took the challenge," lets go out back so that we have more room."
Meilin and Zuran were in the backyard of Wei's house, facing each other, and ready to fight. Wei overlooked the two of them as they bowed and began to fight.
Meilin was the first to act, starting with a forward palm thrust, followed by a backhand chop and left hook. Zuran, however, blocked all of those in turn followed by attacks of his own. He executed a high jump kick that meilin easily knocked aside, but he folled with a double punch and a combo of chops, none of them hitting their mark. Meilin decided to become a little more agressive. She moonsaulted over her opponent to attack at his unprotected back, but something wierd happened. Zuran levitated into the air, out of reach from any attack she could make.
" Hey that isn't fair!" Meilin exclaimed as she tried to reach him.
" Why don't you try levitating, I'm sure you could do it with your experience." Zuran shot back from the safety of flight.
" Really," stated Meilin, disbelieving," How?"
"Just tap into the fighting force of your body to elevate yourself into the air. Concentrate on the ability to fly and be lighter than air." Zuran stated as he soared even higher. " First, maybe a little push." Zuran gestured toward Meilin and she suddenly realised that she was floating.
Suprised to be airborn she looked up at Zuran, if she was ever going to reach him, she would need to levitate. She began to concentrate, feeling the energy eminating from Zuran and adding to it. Not too long afterwards she began to elevate and soon reached his level.
" Well, now that you have mastered levitaion how about fighting in mid air." Zuran pointed out the predicament she was in.
Meilin wasn't used to fighting with nothing solid to stand on, but she would try. She moved herself over to his position and the trading of blows resumed. After a few minutes, Zuran had landed a few blows while receiving none and Meilin conceded defeat. The two kids slowly landed and bowed, ending the match.
" It is very hard to balance while your in mid air." Meilin stated to Zuran.
" Well, I guess it takes practice to get used to it and a little experience," Zuran suddenly got an interesting idea," I tell you what, We can come over to Wei's House every afternoon to train so that we both get practice in."
" That sounds like a good idea, I'm not to skilled in these powers, having never used magic or known that I had them," Meilin said.
" Its not magic. Its a spiritual power that anyone can use given the proper training and experience." Zuran claimed.
Meilin had to go home at that point so she said goodbye to Wei and Zuran, then left for home, eager for the next day when she would practice with Zuran again.

For those of you keeping track of this story, I know I haven't updated for while, dicouraged a little by having no reviews, but I know your reading them. Syaoran will be in the next chapter just in case your wondering.
