Being common
Council of Clow
Underneath Cambridge university,UK

Michael and Yuna are led by Ruby to a medium sized room underneath the university. It looked similar to the library with a few exceptions. On the floor lies a strange symbol; a large round wooden table is in the center, nested by a set of chairs. There are many bookcases containing books on arcane and mythology. A computer was also on a table on its own, for access to the outside world.

In front of Michael and Yuna was two people and a small black creature. On the one side lies a young boy with short black hair and dark eyes concealed by his glasses. He wears a dark blue robe with what looked like a image of the sun and moon on.
On the other side is a young woman with long red hair tied in a ponytail. She has small yellow eyes and wears a white kimono.

Finally, there is a small black creature on the table with pointed blue ears and blue eyes. He stared at Michael and Yuna like a cat.

Immediately, the boy got out of his seat and walked up to Michael.

Eli: Ah, so this is Michael Morpan. Allow me to introduce myself, i am Eli Moon.

He offered to shake Michael's hand, Michael refused to do so though.

Yuna: I'm sorry, he is shy when it comes to meeting new people.

Eli: I see, no doubt that will change at the end of this meeting.

He then bowed to Yuna, which Yuna did the same to him.

Eli:Come please.

He then showed them to the table. Michael and Yuna sat on the chairs by the table as Eli was introducing his friends and companions. Elegantly showing them to the woman...

Eli: This is my friend Layla Mechinze...

Then the creature...

Eli: And my companions, Spinner...

Then the girl who introduced them first.

Eli: ... and Ruby.

Eli then sat down

Eli: Let me explain why you are here. For starters, the reason why i allowed you into this place below the campus is because of your interest to magic and the occult. That is why you are so interested and fascinated by its beauty, it is why you dreamt of a young woman who would save you from self-harm who now sits beside you, and why you will keep our meetings a secret to those who do not understand.

Michael: How do you know?

Eli: Because i am a magician, Michael. I can see things beyond the visual plane, i can sense energies which normal people can not and i can cast the most powerful magic in times of war and peace.

Michael and Yuna noticed that Ruby was offering them tea. They take the cups of tea from her. And began to drink them.

Eli: You see, i am a reincarnation of Clow Reed. A legendary Japanese magician whose legend still lives on today, conspicuously speaking...

Yuna: What do you mean?

Eli: There is a suburb in Tokyo named Reedington, if you must know. Yet not many know exactly why it is called Reedington and not many know its magical prestige.

Eli stands up and begins to pull out some books from one of the shelves.

Eli: You see, magic is a mold. Its shapes round its user and forms most of their strength. I myself, in my past incarnation, developed a series of magical spirits. Each one had its own purpose, some for battle, some for peace. Some are elements, others are more special. But i knew that soon their powers will need to be bounded in order to keep the balance. I used my magic to seal each card away, then i created a place to store them for the next master.

Michael: Next master?

Eli: I knew my time was drawing near, the seasons came and go and so came my destiny. In another life, i would be bringing a sense of order within the magically inclined. But for now i needed to make preparations for the new master.

Eli: I produced a hollow book and placed the two guardians i created at the time in there. Their job was to train and test the new owner of the cards, known as Clow cards. It would be 300 years since Clow reed's death that seal on the book would be broken.

Layla: You see, Eli, in his previous form had the gift of foresight. He knew who would inherit the cards and so forged the staff needed into the new owner's image. He still has this gift today, though not as powerful as it was before. He also forged a ancient device that would serve to negate his powers energy.

Eli: Lets not rush into that, dear. Our friends need to know everything one step at at time.
