Night's Heart

Chappie 15

The Gathering

~Two Weeks Later~

The battle had been long and hard. King Fujitaka's troops had won, although with all the causalities on both sides, it was a hollow victory. Just as Naoko and Jeremy had predicted, a week later, the battle recommenced. Kyoko and Chris had slipped out after that, and they could only assume they were headed for battle. And, just as told by Eriol, our friends followed a couple miles behind.

~***~

"So, tell me once again Eriol, what is this brilliant plan of yours?"

"You know it, Syaoran, so stop asking already!"

"Let's just make camp."

The eight set up a simple camp. Syaoran and Eriol went to get firewood, Yamazaki went for fish, and Jeremy watched over the girls as they cleaned up. An hour later, the eight friends were eating cooked fish while chatting quietly. The battle was only miles ahead and they were quiet, for this would be the last stop before they hit the battlefield and would be forced to fight.

After awhile, they all went to sleep.

In the morning, Eriol began battle preparations. Gathering them all together, he began to talk.

"All right, today's the day, friends. Tomoyo and Chiharu will stay here. I will go out and fight. Yamazaki will stay with the girls. Sakura and Syaoran know what to do. And Naoko and Jeremy will be our steeds."

"Steeds?" Sakura looked doubtful. She would ride her lady-in-waiting and her Familiar?

"Yes, Sakura-hime, steed." Eriol turned to Jeremy, who smiled. He gently unclasped his necklace and placed around Naoko's neck. The smiled at each other for a second. Then, they transformed.

"Horses?"

"Hoe?"

Eriol grinned.

"When a real Orithi of Light has his Familiar wear his pendent, they can both transform into the Orithi's form."

Indeed, Jeremy and Naoko had transformed: Jeremy into a white horse with black splotches and steely gray eyes and Naoko into a brown horse with brown eyes. They looked unfazed.

"So, are we off?"

To Be Continued….

FD: I know, I know, short. I had to leave off because I didn't want to write about the battle until next chapter. This was a catch up chapter. Next chappie will be longer and I'll describe the battle. So, until then, this is your authoress ForeverDestiny saying `Goodbye and have a pleasant tomorrow!' Ja ne!
