Eternal Silence

ch.2 The land of Nightmares

Disclaimer:

I do not own Cardcaptor Sakura, Clamp does. I only mess with thier heads a little grins
----------------------------------

I decided to write the second chapter since I had free time, although for the next week or so I might be more busy. I altered Kero and Yue abit, they each have a new form and they don't belong to Sakura-chan. Also it's rated M cause there is some yaoiness in future chapters, I won't tell you who but don't worry it's not Li.

-------------------------------

A small little bear with wings sat in a pine tree eatting candies, he was about the size of a small cat and had a long tail with fur at the end. Kero popped another sweet into his mouth as he watched the carts zoom by, wait why were all the goblins in such a rush today? Kero flapped his wings and started towards the direction they were coming from, certainly there had to be a rationaly reason they were so frightened. He noticed a young girl in the distance, she was slouching forward and looked utterly exausted. Kero flew over to her and landed on her shoulder.

"Nice day today, hm?", Kero asked but the girl screached in surprise and turned slightly pale when she looked at him.

"Who and WHAT are you!", she demanded. Kero smiled and flew by her as she walked.

"I'm Keroberous, the Guardian of the Portal. Same question but directed at you now." The girl fidgetted, but nodded.

"I'm Sakura, but last time I told someone what I was they ran away..."

Kiro stared for a moment, he seemed to be thinking.

"..Ah so your human, yes well the goblins are a superstitious bunch. They believe humans help out the Silencer bring the Darkness. Well I sappose you were looking for a village so I'll bring you to the closest one, it's a ways away so you'll have to ride on my back."

Sakura stared at him like he was nuts for a minute then Kero surrounded himself in his wings and began to glow and grow larger. When his wings parted he was a large lion with larger wings. He nodded towards her and she carefully climbed on, Kero flapped his wings and took off towards the village.

-----------------------------

They landed just outside of the village, people were rushing back and forth. Kero surrounded himself in his wings again and became Sakura's size, when they parted his wings dissappeared. He was in a human-like form he had orange hair, yellow eyes, tanned skin and wore a green t-shirt with red pants and sandles.

"Well Sakura-chan, shall we go in?", Kero asked in his new form. She nodded and followed him in, they appeared to be in a market place because there were stalls everywhere and people were either selling stuff or buying it. People were shouting and trying to get the best items before they were sold, Sakura just watched in amazement.

"This is the Port city of Tarna, it's known for the school of tamers here. They have many boats here so if you need to go over seas it won't be hard getting on one. Now where do you need to go?", Kero asked as he bought a apple froma stall.

"I don't know where, I just want to go home. I don't know where I am and I want to go home...", Sakura said as she wiped the tears that threatened to spill over. Kero took a bite of the apple.

"Are you from Acrea?", Kero asked suspiciously but Sakura shook her head.

"No Earth. I was given a strange bell by some old women and ended up here."

Kero suddenly seemed interested and asked if he could see the bell, Sakura nodded and took it off her neck. Kero studied it for awhile then shrugged.

"Whatever power it once had is gone now, just a regular bell.", Kero said grimmly.

Sakura didn't seem too discouraged.

"Wait you said you were a guardian of the portal, where does the portal lead to?", Sakura asked quickly. Kero looked surprised for amoment then thought for a moment.

"Well the first one leads to Acrea and the other leads from Acrea, but noones allowed in the portals. That why I guard them.", Kero explained. Sakura seemed to be proccessing the new information then looked up at him again.

"Well how come your not there right now?", Sakura asked and Kero froze up and laughed.

"Well Yue is guarding it, besides I'm on vacation," He nodded to himself while saying it. He seemed nervous to talk about Yue.

"Well can I see it?", Sakura asked and Kero sighed and nodded. They walked towards the port and Kero talked to a man on the ship, when he came back he told Sakura that they would have to take a boat there because it was too far for him to fly. They were given a room on the large ship, the captain shouted orders to all his men and Kero showed Sakura the room. It had two regular beds and a dresser for clothes. Kero lay on the bed at the far right and closed his eyes.

"It will take awhile to get there you might as well rest."
