Disclaimer: I do not own Card Captor Sakura and this fanfic is simply a product of my imagination and I am not paid to do this.
Prologue:
England
1943
"Welcome back, Brother." An oriental looking woman hugged a tall man with jet-black hair and glasses. "I really miss you a lot."
"I wouldn't miss Sean's first birthday for anything." The man smiled at his young nephew at his sister's arms who resembled him slightly.
"It is such a great honor to finally meet the great and powerful Clow Reed." A man at the woman's right side told him.
Clow Reed laughed, "I'm afraid true greatness can only be achieved by the little flower whose heart is its strength."
"What?" the man looked at him with a slightly puzzled look.
"Please ignore it." Clow's sister whispered to her husband. "He's always like that."
"Anyway, Master Clow, thank you for gracing my family with your presence." The man bowed slightly and left them.
"So Clow, what do you see as the outcome of the war?" The woman asked about the World War II.
"Why Claire? Can't you see it for yourself?"
"I can't control my powers recently. I only keep seeing one thing: the future of my grandchildren. I fear trouble will haunt them."
"Yet a star from the east will shine a light of hope so perils will be overcome."
"Yes! That is exactly what my dream says, Clow."
"Chaos will be swift, though some remains, the hopeful hearts will keep, the lands firm."
"Your words are still mysteries, brother."
They stopped talking as they heard the clock ringing in the distance.
"It is getting late, Claire. I better be off."
"I wish a good journey for you, brother."
Clow kissed Sean's forehead and left the house.
lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
Clow walked quietly along the cobblestone street. In a deserted area, he stopped.
"Come out of the shadows, Ducant."
A young man with blonde hair and scorn on his face appeared. "The rumors are indeed true, you have indeed grown powerful, Reed. But of course, you have a good teacher."
"Yes, indeed. So, have you finally given up?"
"My father might have favored you over me but one day, I know I will get back the power that is rightfully mine."
"Master Johannes only knew western magic, even if he chose you as his heir, you will still never achieve what I have."
Francis glared at him with hatred in his eyes. "One day… One day Clow Reed, I will have your powers, those cards that you loved dearly. I don't care when and I don't care how. Soon you'll die and I will take your powers from your heir. I'll be the most powerful and my only regret would be you not seeing it." At a blink of an eye he disappeared.
"You might," Clow smiled strangely. "But the strength of the noble flower is yet to be known. Whether your vow would happen or not will be decided once the eastern star will cross the path of the western star and bind their destinies."
He looked up to the sky where a multitude of stars twinkled.
Author's Notes: This is my first fanfic so I'm sorry it's not that good but I'll try to make it as entertaining and true to the true story as possible. I will introducing a lot of made up characters in the upcoming chapters and please give me reviews on how to make my skills better. Domo Arigatou GozaimasuJ.
