Past Lives
Chapter 1: The Prophecy
"Hear'ye, I, Eja Shaku have foreseen and made a prophecy on the immediate downfall of this kingdom - Kinoshi Kingdom. The Princess who'd have turned 16 and holds command over the Clow cards shall be assassinated by the ones you trust most. After 16 years, I will resurface and make sure this gets carried out." –evil laughter resounded through the entire kingdom. People present who have heard this prophecy cowered in fear and panic. However, fear was not shown on the faces of the Royal Family and the Li Clan who stood bravely around the young princess with straight faces.
Just then, a slight cherubic laughter came from the Princess who was lying in her cot appearing defiant towards the ill prophecy made. Queen Nadeshiko picked Sakura up and rocked her slightly in her arms speaking in her gentle and soothing voice "Nothing's going to happen to mama's little brave precious baby girl." The king wrapped his hands around his wife's shoulders as a sign of reassurance, "Do not fear his words my beloved, we have our faithful court subjects (Li Family) to aid us in our time of need, there should be a way to break free from this curse."
A twinkling laughter beneath the pale blue skies and an angelic voice was heard "He who is a descendent from the Li Family shall be blessed with courage, strength, intelligence and the powers to protect the Princess. They (Princess Descendent from Li Family) are the keys to break free from this damnable prophecy. Yelen, the young child in your hands shall be 'The One'." With a wave of her slender arms, a sleek ruby encrusted sword with fine ancient carvings on the blade of the sword fell into the hands of the young Li, whereas, a shimmering star pendant was found hanging around the neck of the young princess.
