Card Captor Sakura Fan Fiction ❯ The council of clow ❯ Present work ( Chapter 5 )

Present
Eli has just drunk his cup of tea, a part of him was happy that the work he forged for about 4-5 generations is now in good hands. On the other hand, he has served the link between him and the new generation of the Clow dynasty. Not only that, he fears for the day when Minko will return, not because of what will happen, but the fact that Sakura is not ready and that does not know about it. Two wrongs don't make a right and this is what pondering his mind.

Layla: Something wrong?

Eli: What am I Layla, a man born for duty or a man who listens to the heart?

Layla: What do you mean?

Eli: I knew how dangerous the cards are in the wrong hands, but testing Sakura was like... hurting her. I still can't forget the need to erase my presence once when it was getting so close to the final test. But... I knew it was coming, I wrote a letter to you a few days after the event... is that duty or something else?

Layla: It is called destiny, while some can control it others cannot because it has already been laid out for them. You knew what would happen. I knew what would happen, and so did Sakura and Li. Sometimes we are forewarned and other times we have to hope and pray.

Eli: But what if Minko breaks free and pursue Sakura because she doesn't expect a thing. It won't be a test, it will be reality. And lets not forget the fact that other problems are happing across the world. As a member of the Freedom Encathre, we need to curb the amount of corruption, extremism and darkness across the globe. And the council hasn't been fully set up yet.

Layla: The Encathre has given us perseverance, the other two allies, WHOOP and FREEOPS will back us up while we form the initial council, that will mean introducing Sakura and Kero to the council and giving Kero his spot as a Primary candidate member alongside us. When this happens, you will no longer need to worry about the secrecy you had to hide.

Eli: Your right, i should continue to preserve until it is time to be fully involved in FREEOPS activities. And its network of operatives... one moment...

Eli stands up and picks up a folder from a nearby drawer and sits back down with it, he opens it and unfolds an A5 map of the world with red dots on numerous countries.

Eli: You see, we are all in this together... and the fight for a equal world will rely on all kinds of people such as...

Pointing to northern Japan...

Eli: The ninjas of the Mugen Tenshin clan...

Pointing to Germany...

Eli: A Eurasian street fighter...

Pointing to China...

Eli: Two other fighters from Beijing to add to our own from Hong Kong.

Pointing to the UK...

Eli: The Generoa gypsy clan... and two vigilantes...

Layla: You said you are going to introduce one of them to the council.

Eli: Yes, he and his dreamer spirit has given renewed hope for the country... the case now involves putting this hope into action.

Layla: You are forgetting the fact that he is also now a better person. I felt the destiny change from in trouble to a possible hero; we can explain everything because he has a large interest in the arcane works.

Eli: Yes, he is a mixture of you and Sakura... only no one cared so the spirit world sent a spirit to prevent him from self-harm. I will discuss this when we invite him. Lets continue...

He then points to the USA.

Eli: The USA not only has our main allies but also a private investigator, though i don't I can ask for her help due to the fact that although she fights for good, she is slightly greedy with cash, maybe it is part of the job.

He gets up and closes the map. He then puts it away.

Eli: The point is we need to work alongside these allies to put an end to Minko and other dark forces. I only hope we can assemble them in time.
