Chapter 1: Chosen

Yelan Li smiled at the bundle of green blankets in her arms. The baby within it was sleeping soundly, unaware of his destiny.

His mother Yelan Li was on her way to the O.B.F headquarters. The gathering spot for the three races that were allied in the War of Flight

Her four daughters, Fanran, Feimie, Fuutie and Xiefa were huddled over their mother, cooing at their youngest brother.

Even with the smiles on their faces, they had dreaded the moment of arrival at the headquarters.

The reason why they were heading in that direction was the simple black moon symbol on the baby's forehead.

Yes. This young baby, named Syaoran Li was a Destine. He belonged to the Foncé race. The race was known as the "devil", although they weren't truly evil. They have the wings of dragons and bats.

This Destine had the power of Dark magic, once again, similar to the Light magic of the Oiseau race. He has the ability to craft weapons and shapes from it and was able to expel darkness from his body.

Yelan, dressed in black robes, had her black hair tied up into a bun behind her. She has pale skin and a regal posture.

One would mistake her as the Foncé Queen although she was just a noble. Her husband was a Destine but was killed right before the birth of Syaoran.

No one else was a Destine in their family till Syaoran arrived. Imagine everyone's surprise when a black beam of light carved the moon shape on Syaoran's forehead on the day of his birth.

Suddenly, the wheels of the carriage screeched to a halt. The sudden movement jerked the baby from his slumber.

Amber eyes opened in wonderment as they locked onto his mother's own. He gave a small squeal as Yelan smooth the child's messy chocolate locks.

The baby didn't cry though. Yelan had thought it was strange for the baby not to cry under these circumstances.

Then, she understood, her son had a strong heart. He wasn't the type to cry whenever he felt unattended or in need of something. He was just like his father.

Her family and she stepped out from the carriage. She noticed that there were six other carriages at the entrance of the headquarters, one which was very strangely familiar.

Yelan furrowed her eyebrows until the door of that carriage opened. Out stepped out, was her sister, Hua Mei.

Yelan was surprised at the sudden presence of her sister, "Hua Mei?"

Hua Mei was also startled at the sight, "Yelan? What are you doing here?" Yelan then finally noticed the red bundle of blankets in her arms.

"Mei Ling... she's a Destine?"

Yelan's sister nodded gravely, "I didn't tell you because I was afraid that you would be worried from him."

Yelan smiled weakly but stated, "It's alright Hua Mei. Syaoran is a Destine too. That's why I'm here."

Shock registered on Hua Mei's face. "Syaoran too? I didn't expect that..." Suddenly, a cry emitted from the red bundle.

Hua Mei immediately uncovered the red bundle and soothed her daughter's distress through a song.

Yelan wrapped her free arm around her sister as the two walked through the entrance of the large tent with their son and daughter in their arms.

When Yelan and her sister entered, a soldier approached the group and directed them down the hallway.

Silently, they walked and soon came to a door. There was an Oiseau soldier from either side. One of them looked at the two bundles and opened the door, allowing them to walk in.

When Yelan entered the room with her daughters, she immediately surveyed the room with her sharp eyes.

There were about five other groups of people in the room, not counting the top general in the room.

He motioned Yelan and her sister to two more empty chairs in the room. Yelan sat down, unnerved by the whole situation.

"Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen. You must be wondering why you were called to O.B.F."

Several heads in the room nodded. Yelan also took that moment to notice that each group was carrying a baby in bundles.

"You are called here because of your newborn children. They are Destine are they not?"

The people in the room nodded once again. The general then continued gravely, "I'm afraid that your children have been chosen to be the elite flight team to fight in the war."

Gasps and shouts filled the room. The general silenced them with a wave of his hand.

"I know you are worried. But your children have been selected because they have the most potential to be the strongest out of every newborn Destine of each country. I'm sorry but it was the decision of the royal rulers of each race."

Yelan stared worriedly at the curious amber eyes in the bundle of green. Syaoran had been chosen... to fight in the war, just like his deceased father.

A voice came from the crowd, "General Honokaa? May I?"

Yelan's sorrowful eyes searched for the bearer of the voice. Her eyes fell on a figure with brown hair and eyes. In his arms was a pink bundle.

Yelan's eyes widen in realization, he was the father of one of the selected Destine too.

General Honokaa nodded and the man took his place. "My name is Fujitaka Kinomoto. My wife and I are generals in the Oiseau army. We are Summoners and are selected to train your children into the best soldiers."

Yelan was then startled by the voice beside her, "You can't! Mei Ling is all I have now! You can't take her from me!"

Fujitaka's brown eyes turned on Hua Mei and stated, "Believe me Mrs Rae, I know the feeling. My daughter, Sakura Kinomoto, has been selected too."

Silence filled the room and Fujitaka continued, "Now, your children are to live here from now on. You may choose to stay here or go back to your homes and visit them occasionally. When they reach the age of three, they are to start training in combat and flight. My wife and I will be their mentors."

No one opposed to what Fujitaka just announced and he continued, "Now, I require you to introduce yourselves to everyone. You have to announce your names, race, children and their powers."

One woman stood up, her butterfly wings outspread.

Yelan instantly knew she was a Beurre, the third race among the three allies. She had short black hair and comforting brown eyes.

She stepped foreword into the crowd and opened the purple bundle of blankets in her arms. In it, was a young baby girl. She had the deepest purple eyes Yelan had ever seen, like amethyst jewels.

Her hair was black and skin pale. On her forehead, was a brown musical note.

"My name is Sonomi Daidouji. I am a Beurre. My daughter, Tomoyo Daidouji has the Sound ability of the Beurre Destines."

Yelan had read all about the different Destines of the four races. Sound Destines have the ability to create different frequencies with or without the help of instruments. A very useful ability if one was to hope to create headaches for their enemies.

A man next to Sonomi stood up. He closed his eyes for a second as his butterfly wings revealed themselves.

"My name is Ryun Hiiragizawa. I'm Beurre. Eriol Hiiragizawa's parents have perished in the war and I have taken over custody of him. He has the Illusion ability of the Beurre Destines."

Yelan's eyes flitted over to the blue bundle. The baby had blue sapphire eyes and dark indigo hair. She felt pity for the young boy, whose parents had died during the war. His azure eyes held innocence and somehow, wisdom. Yelan knew that this child would grow to be judicious.

Illusion Destines of the Beurre race has the ability to manipulate minds and create illusions. They have a brown diamond shape of their forehead.

Next, a pair of parents stood up, holding a black bundle.

They opened it to reveal a young girl with dark crimson locks. Her eyes were black and cheerful, having no idea of what was happening.

"My name is Masota Kinoshi and my wife's name is Noa Kinoshi. We are of the Beurre race as well. My daughter Rei Kinoshi has the Potion ability."

(A/N: That's right. Rei is back from Purity Love!)

Potion Destines have a knack for brewing potions of magical property. For example, healing, growth, truth-telling, etc. They have a five-petalled flower of their foreheads.

A woman stood up next; she opened up a sliver bundle to reveal a snoozing young boy. Yelan saw that his hair was black and couldn't really see his eye colour.

"My name is Elmira Dachi. We are from the Foncé territory. My son, Takishi Dachi has the shield ability of the Foncé."

Beside Elmira, Yelan saw a young girl of the age of five. Her devil wings outspread behind her. On her forehead, was the same symbol as Mei Ling. Yelan presumed that this girl was Elmira's daughter.

Shield Destines, from what Yelan read about, has the ability to create a barrier for defense or offense. They have three dots on their forehead connected into a triangle.

Yelan saw that her sister was next. Hua Mei stood up with a quivering voice, "My name is Hua Mei Rae. We are from Foncé territory. My daughter, Mei Ling Rae has the Shadow ability of the Foncé Destine."

She opened up her red bundle and Yelan saw Mei Ling's black hair. Her ruby eyes were open, staring at everyone in the room.

Shadow Destines have the ability to dissolve in shadows or darkness are reappear somewhere else. They have the yin-yang symbol on their forehead, only without the dots.

Yelan was next; she stood up and spoke out loudly, "My name is Yelan Li. I am from Foncé territory. My son, Syaoran Li has the Dark Magic ability of the Foncé Destine."

Yelan sat back down and noticed that no one moved.

Suddenly, a figure from a dark corner shifted. It stood up and walked into the light. Yelan eyes widened at the woman.

She had long slivery hair and deep bottle green eyes. Her angel wings were outspread behind her as she adorned the white female uniform of the Oiseau. The white sun symbol was on her forehead. Yelan knew that she was a Summoner.

"My name is Nadeshiko Kinomoto," She then took the pink bundle from Fujitaka's arms and opened it. In it, was Sakura Kinomoto; her emerald jade eyes captivating everyone.

"My daughter, Sakura Kinomoto, is an Oiseau and has the holy magic ability of the Oiseau Destines."

General Honokaa spoke up again, "These young ones will be the elite team of our army. They will be trained to kill the Terres and save our land."

Yelan's four daughters clutched tightly onto their mother's dress. General Honokaa noticed their discomfort and announced, "The meeting is over. We thank you for your

Co-operation."

Every family in the room rushed through the open doors. Some already were tearing from the horrible news.

Hua Mei cried silently as they left the room. The only thought Yelan had to comfort her sister was to hug an arm around her.

Suddenly, Yelan felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned to see a smiling Nadeshiko.

"Mrs Li. You and your sister will have to inform the headquarters if you want to stay here with your children till they are three. We are terribly sorry for your children."

Yelan shook her head and spoke, "We'll stay here with Syaoran and Mei Ling, my daughters too. I'll just have to inform my butler, Wei."

Nadeshiko nodded and smiled. Suddenly, the pink bundle of blankets moved in her arms. Something was causing Sakura to cry out.

Three mothers stared at the young baby girl. Nadeshiko's eyes lit up and realised what was happening.

"She's sprouting!"

They knew what she meant. A flash of light came from Sakura as she cried out in pain. Nadeshiko uncovered the top of the bundle all the way to Sakura's waist. Slowly, but surely, small white wings grew from Sakura's back.

From the green bundle of blankets, Syaoran stared in wonderment as the baby's white wings popped out and disappear soon after.

The light died out and Sakura began to giggle. The baby's head turned and that was it.

Emerald met Amber for the first time.
