The look on Marius' and the High Priestess' face was priceless but the best part was the room it's self. It was like twice as big as a football dorm, with trees of all kinds, trees that don't even exist in this time anymore. Flowers of all type and kinds. Animals of species I cannot even recognized. It was like the garden of Eden.
There was a table in shape of a crescent moon. My Master stood in the middle of the loop, while the High Priestess stood across from him, holding a baby.
"High Priestess Rhysani." Master Eriol walked around the table to take a sit beside her. "I hope you two were not waiting long."
"Of course not, Rhysani." Lady Tomoyo giggled, she then lead me to take a sit on the other side of the High Priestess.
"Syaoran!" Marius gasped when he seen me take a seat beside Lady Tomoyo.
"Do not worry, Sir Marius, I had invited him in. He looked so lonely waiting for you. You have one loyal servant." Lady Tomoyo turned to me and smiled warmly.
If I could I would of blushed again.
The baby the High Priestess was holding began to cry. Lady Tomoyo turned over and reached for the child. Tomoyo rocked her arms lightly back and forth, trying to calm the baby.
"Hush, love, hush."
I leaned over to see the face of a infant girl. She had eyes of emeralds and fair skin like an angel's wing. She had tears, crying about nonsense like all babies do. But something about her made my dead heart jump.
"You want to hold her?" Lady Tomoyo asked.
"Uhh…sure." I reached out and took her gently from Lady Tomoyo.
"Syaoran!" Marius called out until Master Eriol stopped him.
"Let him be. He is safe."
I looked down at the baby, who stopped crying for a moment to see who I was.
"Uhh…hush now. There is nothing to be afraid of." I said, trying to be kind as possible.
Then she smiled at me. It was the most beautiful smile I've ever did see. Instantly I knew I love this child.
"My name's Syaoran, what's your?" I asked stupidly, duh she would not answer back.
"She does not have an Earth name yet, do you have a good name in mind, Syaoran-kun?" Lady Tomoyo suggested.
I looked up at Lady Tomoyo,
"Your sure?"
She only smiled in return.
I looked down at the child, as a breeze danced around me, as Cherry blossom petals followed. A pink petal landed on the baby's face and she giggled as it tickled her nose.
"Sakura." I said and the baby then gave me her attention.
Sakura started to giggled madly.
I never knew I just bonded myself with Sakura right then and there.
Sakura slept in my arm during the meeting as Marius started to give his reasons why we asked for a reboot.
"The humans have knowledge of our existence. And also have been thinking on creating weapons to destroy us."
"Maybe you kind, since you do have loose fledging here or there, but-"
" Priestess Rhysani, your people are also in danger. The mortals are afraid of people who do majik. The old times of Witch hunts are about to be brought back but in more crueler ways. My thoughts of having Serenity having the Earth reborn is easier than going on a full fledge war. That is what you want right? Peace? Then let Mother Nature cleanse it's self."
Master Eriol stood, looking to me and Sakura then back at my Master.
"I will give you 13 years. Collect evidence, proof and bring them here. Sakura shall be old enough to then decide her choice."
"Huh? Sakura, but why her?"
Everyone looked at me as if I was brainless, and I sure felt it when Tomoyo laughed.
"Sakura is the third Child of the Goddess, Syaoran-kun."
I looked down at the infant. This infant is the Third Child? This harmless human child has the power to destroy the world and all of living then restore it?
I looked up at Marius who only nodded in agreement with Lady Tomoyo. I then handed the baby back to Lady Tomoyo and I stood up and bowed.
"I am sorry…I…I didn't know…and her name-"
"What is wrong with her name?" Master Eriol asked.
"It's not good enough for a Goddess…"
"Of course it is. She beamed when you gave her a human name. You must come back to visit her." Lady Tomoyo said.
"I am sorry Lady Tomoyo, but Syaoran cannot. It is forbidden for a 2nd Ancient to see the Children of the Goddess, never mind being in the Light Chamber. Syaoran will be-"
"Punished?" Master's calm eyes harden with angrier as he stood up. "He had done nothing. It was Tomoyo who has invited him to this meeting."
"Besides, Sakura has already seen him and he's given her, her name. She is going to want him around her." Lady Tomoyo made clear. "If not, she will feel incomplete and doubt herself."
"Ju-just because I gave her a name?" I stammered.
Lady Tomoyo nodded. "She has such a good memory, even if just an infant."
I looked to my Master and he looked back at me. He sighed and gave up.
"But their…demons, Master Eriol, Lady Tomoyo!"
I couldn't but hate that woman. She sounded like a Christian parent talking about their daughter dating a Jew.
"They are impure to-"
"Enough, Rhysani." Master Eriol held up his hand. "It's been decided. Syaoran Li shall be Sakura's playmate and guardian."
And boy did it shaken the other Children of the Damned…
I hope you like! I got some great reviews so far! Thanks guys! SAT
