Card Captor Sakura Fan Fiction / Final Fantasy - All Series Fan Fiction / Fan Fiction ❯ Destiny ❯ The first book ( Chapter 3 )
[ P - Pre-Teen ]
The first book
Eli finally lays on the table a pink book. On the front is the same symbol seen on the floor by the table. There was some writing on it, some in English and some in Japanese. It read:
“Council of Clow log
Sakura Avalon”
It was done again in Japanese.
Eli:300 years passed and the book found its way into one of my descendants, an archaeologist by the name of Adrian Avalon. He was unable to open the seal so he left it in study. Then one day, Adrian's young daughter Sakura found the book by accident and was able to break the seal, she saw the cards and accidentally awakened one of them sending the rest of the cards out of flying out of the house.
Eli: You see the seal, like the lever Ruby used to open the passageway to here was protected by magic and only magic can see and unlock the seal.
Michael: But if Sakura could have opened it, then Adrian would have too?
Layla: No
He looks at Layla as he made his reply
Michael: Huh?
Layla: There is a saying “there is no coincidence, only fate”, Adrian was destined to take the book and place it in the study, and Sakura was destined to open the book and accidentally send the cards out.
Yuna: So you believe fate controls us?
Layla: Well...
Eli: There are moments where one man can change his destiny, he does not see when that time comes, but in his heart the answer is given to him, even when it is muted, it drives him until he listens to it.
Michael: Drives him...
Michael looks at Yuna and wonders.
Michael (Thinks): Drives him... drives him. Could it be?
Reality kicks in again as Eli speaks.
Eli: Please open the book.
Michael and Yuna opens the book, on the inside they see a photo of a young 12 year old girl with medium auburn hair and emerald eyes. She was smiling kindly in the picture. Michael starts to blush slightly over how cute she is, which Yuna accepted as his common weakness when it comes to beautiful girls. As they read the profile underneath the picture, Eli started to speak about the girl.
Eli: Sakura has been the ideal candidate for the cards ever since i foreseen it in the past. Kind yet determined, cheerful yet not silly, strong yet peaceful. Athletic and lovable, you could never be mad at her for long.
Eli: Anyway, once Sakura broke the seal and let loose the cards, Kero, the first guardian awakened from the book and recruited her as Cardcaptor. It was Kero's role to be Sakura's mentor for the ordeal. But I and Kero had to withhold information from Sakura until it was needed.
Michael: What information?
Eli:For starters, Kero withheld information about what would happen after all the cards were sealed. And i withheld information about what i did to Kero in the past. But please, let me explain what has happened, it will be come all clear to you.
Eli: By the time we began logging Sakura's actions she already sealed half of the cards, met an indirect descendant of my former and has forged a solid foundation for her magic. We began logging Sakura's actions to the best possible notice.
Yuna: You mean you didn't began observing at the start?
Spinner: We suspected that Sakura would not have any trouble with the first half of cards so we were not required at that time. Plus, we needed to find ways to insert us into places where we can monitor her without anyone being none the wiser.
Michael: (Sighs): Spying behind someones back isn't a good idea.
Spinner: Then how would you suggest we would obtain all the information about the new holders of Clow, especially when...
Eli: Enough! Your question does raise a point about the morals we should face with the new holders. Indeed, we were in the shadows for too long when it comes to training the new Cardcaptor... but, without the cryptic guidance from us and the foresight of my ancestors. We may have not been in this place before. Unfortunately, we are still in a position where we have not been able to fully archive Sakura's actions, or her friends. This is why the logs are only of observations made by me and Layla. To complete the archive we need the knowledge of the new holders.
Michael: OK, i will let you off. Providing the rest of the story is sound.
Eli: Indeed, our logs started when Layla went to Reedington, under the cover as a teacher at Sakura's elementary school. By keeping herself close to Sakura and her small group of friends she was able to give cryptic clues as to what is about to happen or how to stop certain threats.
Layla: You see, i have the gift of foresight as well as the ability to protect myself from certain magical effects. With this in mind, i was able to secretly help Sakura. She treated me as a friend because of how i cared about her, even though my job was as a teacher.
Eli:Regardless of Layla's help, Sakura was able to seal most of the cards before the final judgment. Only 6 of the cards at first went to her “rival”.
Michael: Rival, you mean there was another Cardcaptor?
Eli: No, more like a person who made himself into a Cardcaptor However, he considered himself to be the rightful heir to the cards regardless of what destiny told him.
