When he said those words, my heart skipped a beat. Seeing Tomoyo back to
life... there is nothing else that I want more than to see her again. Her
bright loving smile, her tender soft skin, her beautiful eyes, but...bringing
people back to life is very dangerous magic, requiring superior knowledge
in the craft and concentration beyond all other spells.
"Are you in?" Syaoran asked. I was hesitant. Should I speak my mind? I do not think, I know, there is no possible way for us to bring her back, yes I want it more than anything, but it is impossible. We are just mere kids trying to meddle in this type of thing. I finally replied, "Syaoran, do you know what you're going to get us into? This is very dangerous magic you are talking about. Only the most powerful of wizards can produce enough magic for this and cast it correctly, and don't you think that I have tried to do this? Ever since I heard of her death, all I have been doing is looking through ancient spells, modern enchantments, classic chants, but I have not come across anything that you or Sakura would be able to do. Yes, I know Sakura is one of the most powerful wizards in the world, but not even she has the magic to perform this type of magic! " I say these words a little more harsh then I meant them to be.
"I... I thought you would be for this Eriol. Didn't you... didn't you love Tomoyo?" he says a little taken back.
"Yes...I do...did love her. Just as you love Sakura. I loved her more than words or actions could have ever said." I look to the floor; I am revealing my deepest feelings to him, and something no one else knows about. Our love was a secret, no one knew about it. There was only one other person besides Syaoran that knew of our love, and I haven't heard from her in years. "But you don't understand," I start again, "this magic is out of our reach. I don't have the magic of Clow Reed anymore, just his memories. I can't do or use..."
"What if I told you, Eriol, that I found a way to bring the power of Clow Reed back to you?"
He has? But...but how? Sakura's dad is the one with the power of Clow Reed now, even though he is unaware of it. There is no known way to bring it back, I'm sure of it. "How? There is no way that you are able to do this. Yes, you are a heir to the Clow Reed family, a direct descendent, but I don't think even your family knows how."
"Yes...we do. There is a power that surpasses that of Clow Reed, but he is involved. It's called the Calling of Descendents. Each wizard of a family is able to use this power once in his/her life, and I am using mine to bring Tomoyo back. The spell calls upon the magic of all the descendants of Clow Reed to form together to grant the wish of the user."
Calling of Descendents? There is no known source or written record of this type of magic, but if it does exist, how does he know of it, and why does he need my help?
"If such a thing exists, why do you need my help to obtain it? You are more of the family of Clow Reed than I am, I am just a reincarnation of him, not his blood, but his memories and, used to be... his magic. I am not of your family, nor some what related to you. And...if such a power exists, why is it that no known record is written about it. I should know this, I have the memories of Clow Reed, and not even he knew of this, and... I have read modern magic books," I point to some the selves in my living room, and to the ones on the floor, "and no where in any of the rarest of books have I ever read of this."
"Because in order to do this, there must be a powerful wizard that performs the summoning. We both know that I am not that powerful as Clow Reed, I only have only a fraction of his power, but with your original power, you would become Clow Reed, allowing you to perform the spell, and only the family of Clow Reed is supposed to know this. This magic is very powerful and if enemies of our family learn of it's secret, then they would be able to overthrow us."
"Then that just leaves one question," all of his evidence of the spell seems reasonable. I do believe him...and I want to believe him. I want Tomoyo back than anything else in the world. "How do we get my original power back? If you don't remember, Sakura's father has it now."
"Leave that to me."
"Are you in?" Syaoran asked. I was hesitant. Should I speak my mind? I do not think, I know, there is no possible way for us to bring her back, yes I want it more than anything, but it is impossible.
