Chapter Two: The Other
A girl with dark brown hair and electric blue eyes was walking down a street with a white cat with green eyes strolling next to her. Her older brother was walking a little behind the two. His hair was black and his eyes were turquoise.
"Hurry up, Cian. You are so slow!" the girl called to him.
"Whatever. You better not go to fast, twip, you hear?" Cian said to her. Arian rolled her eyes. He wouldn't do anything to her because he knew about the Lunar Cards, named after the moon. Art looked up at her and then toward Cian.
Glancing around so no one would hear him, Art said, "What is the deal between you two? You are always nagging on each other."
"Doesn't really matter for you. You have to have a sibling that is at least three years younger than you are. I'm five years older," Cian added triumphantly. Frowning, Arian looked at him and thought that he was a dolt for thinking that she was an idiot and a juvenile. He was, too, considering that he was nineteen.
Then she turned her thoughts to more pressing matters. Why were the Ronas moving to Japan? And in all of the cities they could have gone, they had to go to Readington, a small town. She really didn't want to, but she did have to go with her family. She sighed and dared Art to race her home in time to see her favorite shows. The feline willingly accepted and ran as fast as he could to beat Arian home.
Cian looked after them and sighed, "Lunar Mistress Arianrhod, what shall I do with you? You are still so young and carefree. What shall I do if you are hurt in any way? I use you're energy and so does Artemidoros. The cards also draw this energy you possess. What in the Moon will happen to you once we move to Readington? What will happen to us all? You do not know of the force there. Not even Artemidoros does. Only I do…" He said this in a very odd lilting voice, as if he was someone else for a second. He continued down the road at a leisurely pace. He really didn't mind about them running out of sight…
At home…
Arian and Art finally got home and both were panting. Arian walked in the house and dropped onto the couch. Art curled up next to her and went to sleep. Arian turned on her TV to a cartoon show. She reached out and grasped something unseen. Arian then pulled her hand to herself and in her hand was a blue and silver book with her name on it along with a picture of a sun cradled within a moon. An intricate design fanned out around it until the lines were enclosed in a circle within a circle. The whole thing was done in shimmering silver. The navy blue was in the background.
Arian opened the book and within it was cards, Lunar Cards. (These are much like Sakura's Star Cards, only done in navy blue and silver and have the emblem from the front of the book.)
She pulled out the first card, the Eclipse Card. It had three identical figures on it. In the back was a woman lifting the sun over her head with both hands. In front of her was another woman with longer hair, holding the Earth in her palm. The third woman was the closest and she had the moon on her fingertip. All three had their eyes open, which was unusual for a Clow Card of any kind, and the two with the planetoids were looking at theirs while the Sun's was looking straight forward. (For those who don't know, Sakura created a card called the Hope. Arian has done the same thing; yet, since she had no partner for capturing the cards, she created the Eclipse Card.)
Arian looked at it for a long time, thinking of the instant that she had found the book. At that moment, there was a lunar eclipse and she was looking around in her parents' retail shop where the book turned up.
"Arian? Is that you, honey?" her mother called out from the kitchen.
"Yes, ma'am. It's me," replied Arian. She hastily put the card back in the book and shoved the book under her and started staring avidly at the television set. Art looked at her, flicked an ear, and went back to sleep.
"We are going to the airport early in the morning, now. You are packed, aren't you?" her mother said, coming out of the kitchen. "The last things going with us is the sofa, the TV set and our clothing. You have your school uniform, don't you?"
"I am absolutely ready to go, Mom."
"All right. Get as much rest as you can. Tomorrow will be strenuous."
"Yeah, I will," Arian said, head bobbing up and down in agreement. Her mother departed back into the kitchen. Arian pulled the book out from underneath her and shoved it into the air. The book disappeared into thin air and she sighed in relief of not being caught…
At the Airport, boarding the plane to Japan…
Their things were all around them and they were sending it through the terminal. Art was mumbling about being locked in a cage and having to sit in the back alone amongst all the flea-bitten animals. Arian thumped his pet carrier and hissed at him to be quiet. "You know cats can't talk," she told him.
"Hurry up, sweetie. You don't want to make us miss our plane, do you? I know you really want to go to Japan with us," her father said. Arian rolled her eyes because he didn't know what it was like, moving away from all your friends. She had to say goodbye to Sarah, Jessica, and Rachel. Her boyfriend, Jake, promised to write her as soon as she sent him her new address. She had grinned and hugged him goodbye.
