Chapter Four:
^*^*^*^*^ The Li Kingdom (the castle) ^*^*^*^*^
Yelan was pacing around in circles, deep in thought. She had just come back from Eriol's castle. The only thing was that she was afraid to declare a war against the kingdom. First of all, the nobles had a history of great magicians, and, no doubt, they still are. Though the king is still quite young, he had very strong magic. As far as she was concerned, her mission to the kingdom had failed. It was literally impossible for her to declare war against the Hiiragizawa Kingdom, since they had signed a treaty about 6 years ago.
Just at this time, her son came into the room, disturbing her thoughts. He was ten years old, with messy brown hair and dark [AN: sort of?] eyes. [AN: Everyone knows who this is, right?]"You asked for me?" he asked his mother.
Yelan barely had any reaction. With a small movement of her hands, she motioned for her son to shut the door of the room. "Xiaolang," she started, "I have a task I want you to do." Before she even finished her sentence, Xiaolang already knew what she was going to say, but he remained silent, as he was supposed to. His mother continued. "Xiaolang, I want you to go to the Hiiragizawa Kingdom, and help me look for the Clow Cards there."
"Yes mother" was the reply.
Immediately, Xiaolang turned to get ready to go. Right when he got to the door, Yelan added, "I don't care how you get there. Just find out, and come back with it, or at least some news." Xiaolang nodded his head and walked towards his room.
^*^*^*^*^*^ Hiiragizawa Castle ^*^*^*^*^*^ (Sakura's POV)
I looked up at the monolithic castle standing so big and beautiful. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad to live here. Wait! What am I thinking? I'm going to go back to my grandparents. I'm not staying here, even if that means losing this contest on purpose.
The carriage had stopped. I stepped out to see the grand castle standing so tall in front of me. All around me, I hear all the other girls staring in awe at the structure. A few other carriages drove up. I suppose that they are from other towns and villages. I looked around. I suddenly felt different. First of all, I'm the only one here with green eyes. Second, everyone seems excited except for me. Well, there would be other reasons, but I don't think I'm going to think about them right now.
We all watched anxiously at the castle's gates, as if waiting for it to open. After quite a long time, a person came out, motioning for us to follow. I felt a shiver up my spine. There was something creepy about this place. No one else seems to notice, though. That's another reason why I feel different. Slowly, the castle gates opened, and we all walked into the castle.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^ Another Room in the Castle ^*^*^*^*^*^*^
The blinding light resided, and on the table, an orb materialized. [AN: Think of a crystal ball, but just that tiny bit bigger.] Eriol and Fujitaka looked into it. Inside, the orb formed a picture of the bunch of girls waiting in the main hall. Suddenly, Fujitaka began staring at something. Eriol, following his gaze saw Sakura, looking around, curious, not ever noticing her pendent glow. Eriol made the picture focus on Sakura. No word had to be said-they already knew the answer.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^ A Little Hill (Yonder) ^*^*^*^*^*^*^
Xiaolang wiped his forehead. It was noon, and the sun was scorching hot. He was just half a day's walk now from the Hiiragizawa castle. Unfortunately, he didn't think he could go on without anymore water. It's surprising how the temperature here feels hotter than a desert. Xiaolang noticed.
Dragging his feet along, he was determined to keep moving. Amazingly, luck was on his side. A farmer with his small wagon came along, and asked if he needed a ride.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^ Hiiragizawa Castle ^*^*^*^*^*^*^
Xiaolang stood before the castle. The dark, elaborate gates stood high above him. Slowly he looked around. There just HAD to be a way in - he just has to find it. Suddenly, Xiaolang felt a strange aura from the castle. Before he could reach towards it though, it was gone. He narrowed his eyes. There was definitely something weird about this place, and he was going to find out.
So. I finished another chapter! Yatta! (I think???) oh well. I'm surprised I even got this thing done so fast. To say the truth, I have to go to school now. And if you haven't guessed yet, I only slept 4 hours last night, no, this morning. Anyway, R+R!!!
