Prologue:
"Cerberos, Yue, please leave me now," a dark-haired man said from the depths of the shadowy room. The winged big cat and the white angel departed swiftly at their master's request.
"I do not believe that one Clow Card set is not enough. This must be made in secret. No one must know," he whispered to himself.
Indeed this was the great Clow Reed. The one man to make the most powerful objects in the world, the Clow Cards. He set forth in making an exact copy not anywhere near the first set he had made fearing the conflict in power would be too much…

Chapter One: The Learning
It has been years since the Clow Cards had been captured and transformed into Star Cards. Everyone was kicking back and worrying about normal things like school.
Sakura wasn't doing so at the moment, though. She was talking with Kero, the guardian beast of the Clow Cards, and examining the Star Cards that were hers. Kero was avidly licking a spoon that had only a second ago peanut butter on it. Sakura was munching on a peanut butter sandwich that was an afternoon snack.
"Kero, what will we do with the cards now that they have been captured? I can't openly use them at school or anywhere else," the brunette fourteen year old asked the little creature. He stopped licking the spoon to ponder the question.
"Kid, I don't know. Eli has gone back to England, so that rules out that option. You know that Li won't accept them. It really doesn't matter, anyway. They belong to you and you alone. You have to decide," he said slowly. Suddenly, he stiffened right along with Sakura.
"Did you feel that, Kero?" Sakura asked.
"Yeah, I did."
"It felt like one of the Clow Cards, but different. I thought we had caught them all," Sakura wondered. She had never felt magic like that be used in the last few years. She was totally baffled. Kero was, too, obviously.
"What could it be?" asked Kero, "There are no more cards left. I wonder…"
Meanwhile that same day…
Li was walking down the road and felt the magic in the air. "What the heck was that?" he wondered aloud. The wash of magic was strong and it made him nervous.
"What is wrong, Li? You look as if you'd seen a ghost," asked the black-haired girl next to him. She looked worried at the expression on his face. She had seen that look before. It was when he sensed a Clow Card.
"Nothing. It's nothing, Meilin," Li replied. He was very worried because nothing could be like that unless it was the Clow Cards, but they were Star Cards now. Or were they?
At school the next day…
"I am pleased to announce in one week, a new classmate will be joining you. She is from America and her name is Arian Rona," said their teacher at the beginning of class. This lead to whispers among the students.
Sakura wondered the reason for calling in advance so early. Most kids show up and are ushered in. She had a vision in an instant that she was standing under a full moon with cards floating all around her. What in the world is this? She cried out silently. She caught a card, only to discover that it was the Windy Card. Then it jerked itself out of her hand and transformed into a blue and silver card. It flew to someone on top of a hill, silhouetted in the moonlight. What? Sakura thought desperately, because this wasn't right. The cards all around Sakura also transformed and flew to the person on the hill.
"Miss Sakura, when you are done daydreaming, I would like you to answer this question, please," said Mr. Noleski, * waking her out of her vision. He was angry that she had obviously ignored the start of class.
"I am sorry sir. I didn't mean to. Sorry," Sakura mumbled. Her face was very red. Only, she couldn't stop thinking about the vision. No one could be like that and own the Clow Cards. She had the only set.
Li was watching Sakura out of the corner of his eye. He knew that she had had a vision, but she had never had one in four years. What could it be? Did it have to do with the feeling he had gotten yesterday?
* Mr. Noleski is pronounced nol-eh-ski. I didn't want people thinking his name was nole-ski.
