AN: Please give it a chance, I'm getting to the actual story, its about Syaoran's past, his father (obliviously) and stuff. Syaoran-centric, for Syaoran lovers! I know it's really really short but it's just the prologue so you know what's going on in the next few chapters (which I will write soon!)
It was often said in the Li household that when Jin-Lang was born the world stood still. He was thought to be the next Clow Reed, after all he was his direct descendant. The elders, who were usually ones to be weary of, pampered and spoiled him, perhaps that was there first mistake. He had a dark heart, he was cruel, yet he was tolerated. He was father to Xiao-Lang.
Shortly after Xiao-Lang's birth, Jin-Lang disappeared. Some thought him dead, or perhaps just cowardly. The truth was, he was a coward, he was scared. To be scared to Jin-Lang was like saying you were going to climb Mt. Everest and be back for supper, it was something he was not accustomed to. He felt shame, not beacause he ran away, but because he was afraid. What was he afraid of? His baby, his little baby boy. Why? Because he knew, he knew that this was no ordinary boy, as did every member of the Li clan. How did they know? Simple. A prophesy.
The prophesy was about a boy who should come from the direct line of Clow Reed, the powerful magician, who should live in sorrow and be hated. They would know if it was the boy of the prophesy at birth, the baby would drain exactly half of the aura and power of any existing Li. This power would grow and he would protect and do well with it.Not much is said about the prophesy accept that he will be great, known, and serve his purpose but also live in great sorrow costing many their lives.
The boys father was mistaken for the boy. After all, he was the first boy to be born that was a direct descendant of Clow in over 100 years, and only when Xiao-Lang came did they know what it felt like to have your aura drained. Though why did he run? A piece of the prophesy was missing, the piece which Jin-Lang had come to take into possession since birth. The piece stating that the lives taken will be those of the Li-clan and not one shall survive. Jin-Lang did not want to die, he did not want to give his energy to his son. In hopes of being spared death he disowned himself from the Li Clan and joined a powerful magician whose heart was wicked. Though without his knowledge, Jin-Lang would become the force which slaughtered and massacred the Li clan and rose against his son.
