Chapter 7:
Once again, Sakura told the story of the car and waking up in the field.
The old woman stared at her gravely.
"I can think of only once reason as to why you were brought here. You were Summoned."
"Summoned?"
"Called here for some purpose..."
"But I've been here before" Sakura interjected "and so has Tomoyo."
Everyone froze. Chryse and Balinor had taken her to the center tent where the elders stayed to give out wisdom. The old woman she was talking to had asked her questions while the others listened.
"What do you mean?" the old woman demanded.
"Sometimes, when I look in a mirror, or into my reflection in the water, I see a place like this. And when Tomoyo and I clasp hands in our sleep... I see a place like this too, in my dreams. But lately, I see this place whenever I close my eyes."
"Did you ever see anyone?" the woman asked, staring at Sakura intently.
Sakura blushed "I saw unicorns and wolves, and someone else..." she continued hastily "but I mostly heard a voice."
"A voice?"
Sakura nodded "Yes. Lately I've been hearing them whenever I close my eyes. Tomoyo said that she heard it in her sleep."
"What do they say?"
"Well, one says 'come back, I can't live without you', another says 'I call thee Wanderer and Dreamer, Master of Sun and Moon, Master of Card and Spell, Daughters of two worlds..." her voice trailed off "there is more, but I can't remember it right now. What's wrong?"
The old woman was slightly shaking "did they ever call you anything?" she asked.
"Yes, I was always called 'Daughter of Clow and Avalon, Tomoyo was called 'Daughter of Hikani and Avalon'."
"Sakura" someone called faintly.
"Tomoyo?" Sakura demanded. She ignored all the stares as she shot up "where are you?"
"...lost...Sakura, help me."
"Tomoyo" Sakura called. She found herself raising her hands above her head, they glowed golden "open the Pathway. Follow me."
"Thank you" Tomoyo's voice whispered, and then vanished.
"Tomoyo, are you okay?"
She's safe a voice spoke into her mind welcome back daughters of the lost.
"Who are you?" Sakura demanded "where is Tomoyo?"
I do not know. Come find me when you are ready. I will help you and your cousin.
