Prologue
Trial of the Wolf
'Where am I?'
Sakura stood on the spot, looking around in all directions. There was nothing but darkness.
'Is this a dream?' she thought to herself.
There was a sudden flash of light that brightened the whole area. Sakura was now surrounded by various ghostly images of towns, cities and forests.
'What is all of this?' she was becoming confused.
Then, all of a sudden, she heard a voice. She looked around, but saw no one.
"W-who's there?" she asked with a quiver in her voice
She heard it again, but this time it was clearer. At that point she realised that the voice was inside her mind.
'Ancient city, war torn country, haunted forest, snowy mountains, desert canyons…'
Those words were being repeating over and over. Sakura had noticed that the voice was describing the images…
There was another sudden flash of light.
'What's happening now?' she wondered as the images began to fade away.
Once again, there was darkness. But this time, she was not alone. Standing a few feet away from her was a young boy.
"Syaoran?" she asked, surprised.
He didn't seem to notice her. He continued to stand on the spot, staring up into the air.
Sakura then began to run forward.
"Syaoran!" she called out, but he still didn't notice her.
After another bright flash, she found herself standing on a Cliffside above the clouds. For a moment she was shocked, but then she decided to look around. The first thing she noticed was that Syaoran was now standing on a Cliffside opposite her.
"SYAORAN!" she screamed even louder, hoping he would hear her this time.
Once again, he didn't notice her. He seemed to be looking up towards the sky. She then looked up to find out what he was looking at.
'What is that?' she wondered.
Something was descending down at an incredible speed. It looked like…a shooting star?
But there was something about it that wasn't right. It was heading straight for Syaoran and as it got closer, it was forming into a shape of a man. A giant man with wings and a huge sword.
She quickly turned her gaze back to Syaoran who was standing with his sword in a defensive position. In a matter of seconds, it was going to collide with him.
No matter how loud she screamed, he still didn't notice her. She then watched as the giant winged man flew into the mountain where Syaoran stood. There was a final bright flash of light as the mountain exploded.
"SYAORAN!"
Sakura…Sakura wake up!
Another voice was calling to her.
Sakura!
Sakura woke up to see Kero hovering above her. She shot up from the bed with an expression of fear.
"Sakura are you ok?" Kero asked with concern.
"I think so…" she replied with a slightly shaky voice.
"You don't look it. You were crying out the kid's name in your sleep, not that you haven't done that before, but this time you seemed to be scared. What's wrong? Did something bad happen in your dream?" He was hoping to get a few answers out of her but she seemed to be really confused.
"I-I can't remember…" she groaned, placing her hand on her head.
Her face suddenly filled with an expression of panic, then she suddenly started to frantically search her bed, throwing the sheets up in the air and knocking Kero backwards across the room.
"Hey, hey! What's the idea?" he cried as he hit the wall.
"Ah! There!" Sakura sighed in relief when she found her Syaoran bear by her pillow. She grabbed it and hugged it closely.
"If you are going to do something like that again, be sure to warn me!" Kero grunted in annoyance.
Sakura's head shot up as she suddenly remembered something.
"Oh! That's right!" she cried as she leaped off the bed and ran for the calendar on her desk. One of the days on the calendar was highlighted with various coloured stars and hearts.
"Syaoran is moving to Tomoeda today!" She cheered happily and began to dance around the room.
"Gee, it's going to be wonderful having the kid living around here" Kero said sarcastically.
"Kero!" Sakura stopped and shot him an annoyed glance.
Then there was a sudden knock at the door, and a voice called to her
"Hey kaijuu, breakfast's ready"
"Onii-chan, I am NOT a kaijuu!" she yelled back in anger.
ElsewhereA man dressed in a black, ninja-like uniform is walking through the narrow, dimly lit corridors of an ancient castle. After wandering for maybe 15 minutes he finally reached two large stone doors with images of dragons and demons etched in them, pictures of monsters engaged in combat. He stepped forward and placed his hands on the doors, which began to slowly open allowing him to step through. He had reached his destination: the Great Hall.
It was like jumping into another world. The castle was dark, damp and small but the Great Hall was bright, dry and large. On both sides of the hall where a row of marble pillars, all with stone statues mounted halfway up them. Apart from these, the only other thing that resided in the hall was a large throne that sat in the centre.
Without stopping to look around the ninja marched up to the throne, halted a few feet away from it, then slowly dropped to one knee and bowed.
"My Lord…" he spoke with his head looking down at the ground. An elderly man sat on the throne, eyes closed and legs crossed while meditating.
After a few seconds the elderly man slowly opened his eyes and looked down upon the ninja.
"What is it?" the old man replied, rather slowly as if he was half asleep.
"My men are ready. Would you like us to leave now?" he asked, without raising his head. The old man was silent for a few seconds, and then he closed his eyes again.
"Take Ginryu with you. He will handle the Li clan heir." He replied.
"Yes, my Lord." Slowly the ninja rose from the ground and marched back out of the hall.
'My empire will once again rule over all…' the elderly man thought, as he fell back into his meditation.
