[Perhaps it is because she is unsure, worried, about the risk of exposing herself here, Kero exposing himself to protect her if things were dangerous. But she is remembering the time she first discovered his True Form....

Another day, another Card to deal with. It seems. Normal, at least for Sakura given the last few years, even if there was a quieter period in between while Syaoran was away in Hong Kong. Once she had handled the Sakura Cards. She is trying to work on sealing Firey away, one of the four stronger Element cards, along with the other three of Watery, Windy and Earthy. She is struggling against Firey with just trying to use Windy, so switches it out to try Watery figuring that would be more effective. They're pretty evenly matched though, but not when Sakura manages to summon both Windy and Watery at once. She holds up her Sealing Staff, bringing it down against Firey.]

Now! Return to the form you were meant to be, Clow Card!

[The spirit of Firey is contained, sealed in card form. It's a relief, but Sakura doesn't really have time to bask in it. As the light from Kero and Mizuki-sensei holding him distracts her. As Kero glows, floating and becoming enveloped in huge white wings before being revealed in his True Form. A huge winged lion. Sakura stares in surprise and amazement. She asks who he is, Kero exclaiming that this is his True Form. That he got it just in time, as there's earthquakes occurring from Earthy. The earthquakes cause the ground to crack, Sakura falling down as a darker brown haired boy around her age, Syaoran, reaches to catch her hand and pull her back up. They discuss using their given names rather than surnames to each other, before Sakura heads off with Kero. Sakura asks if this was what was meant about the evil to befall the world if the Clow Card's seal was broken. Kero corrects her, telling her it is the work of Earthy. Sakura is told to use Firey on Kero, helping him to breathe fire as they fly to find the source, where Earthy really is. In using the Wood card, Sakura is able to restrain and capture Earthy.]

I did it!

[The last and final card. It had been a journey, even getting that far. Even before the Judgement. But that is where the dream leaves off. Prior to the revelations about Yue and Yukito. Sakura is beaming and seeming rather proud of herself yet as the dream fades off there. Though someone probably won't be thrilled about this being revealed. Even if Kero will find is freeing to not have to try hide his true nature as her Guardian.]

Familiar? I guess Kero-chan is kind of like one? He's one of my two Guardians. Yue-san is the other but he isn't here. Kero-chan's power comes from the sun so he controls half of the cards, like Firey and Earthy, while Yue-san has the power of the Moon with the other half. My magic specifically is from the power of the stars.

[She does feel bad in not coming clean entirely. She's just so used to keeping it secret back home. Beyond certain few people knowing about her cards and magic. Namely Syaoran and Tomoyo, along with Yukito.]

Harnessing the power of the sun and the moon… Fascinating! When you say names like Firey and Earthy, are you referring to those cards that appeared in your dream? It looked like you were containing the elemental magic or spirit into the cards, but you were able to use them, too.

I’ve never seen magic like yours, Sakura. It was incredible to see.

But I am sorry that you had your dream shown to everyone, like we were talking about before.

Yes, that's Firey and Earthy! Initially I accidentally unleashed them, freeing them into the world when I opened the book and unintentionally summoned Windy which scattered them while Kero-chan was sleeping. But my magic has gotten a lot stronger since then.

I didn't mean to show this. But I guess. Here. It's different? Harder to hide it. And others here have powers, right? So it isn't so weird?

That’s exactly right. I think most other dreamwalkers have at least some experience with magic, so you’re really not alone in all of this, and like I said, everyone seems to be really understanding whenever someone has a dream shared like this!

Oh, and, by the way, you looked so cute in the dream! Is that the typical attire for mages in your world?

I'm still not sure if it is more reassuring or concerning this is not so uncommon. But I guess I have to get used to it. This might happen again. So I guess. This is for the best. In case I somehow make one of these cards again here. They can be dangerous.

But ah, that's. Tomoyo-chan. She likes designing and making clothes for me.

Oh… Is that so? What do you mean by they can be dangerous? Forgive me if I’m asking a lot of questions…

A friend of yours? That sounds like fun!

Ah, well. Some of them are pretty powerful. The ones I've made myself are more powerful than the original ones I had from Clow-san. I just hope nobody gets hurt if it happens here, is all. I don't want that.

But ah, yes! Tomoyo-chan is my best friend! She's really creative like that, making outfits. That's why she makes me some, and when we have our school plays! and she is an amazing singer!

I see… This Clow person must be another mage from your world, and now it sounds like you’ve surpassed them. It sounds like you have quite the talent for magic, then, Sakura! I’m sure that your wish to keep your magic from harming people will help you in those times when you feel unsure, and I hope that you’ll find a way to use that power to protect others instead. I know how you feel, so please don’t hesitate to reach out to me if you ever feel worried about it. I’ll try to help, too!

It would be nice if your friend Tomoyo could keep you company here… She sounds like a wonderful friend. You must miss her a lot…

I had to help him. Clow-san. He wanted me to help split his magic in two, between both his reincarnations. That's probably how over time I might get more powerful. But so far I guess things have mostly worked out. Even if I am still figuring it.

I do. But it is probably best she isn't here as well. She's probably safer back home.

Ah… Perhaps this sort of magic is very unique… Were you really the only person he could turn to for such a thing? It seems like a lot…

[ Ori is struggling to imagine why a wizard would seek help from such a young lady for such a task… It must be a lot of responsibility to bear. ]

Perhaps she’ll visit you in your dreams, here. That’s happened to me before, where I could see my friends in my dreams and it felt quite real.

I think I was. There aren't a lot of magical people back home and by that point because I was getting stronger he figured I was powerful enough to help him.

Eh? My dreams? I'm not sure if that would be good or not. Sometimes my dreams can be kind of weird.

[Or scary or dangerous.]

I see… I thought that might be the case. Otherwise… it doesn’t quite feel right to entrust such a great responsibility to someone so young. But it seems you rose to the occasion regardless! You should be very proud of yourself.

Ah, well, I know how that feels too… If you ever have a scary dream and want to talk about it, don’t hesitate to reach out!

I figured. He helped me. So. It only seemed fair to help him. I just didn't realize during it all that it was him. That he was helping me by creating situations I'd need to use the cards, to change them under my own power rather than Clow-san's.

I guess more often than being scary they can be. Confusing? I don't always understand them. At least not right away. But I have Kero-chan too! I tell him about my weird dreams. Sometimes he knows more than me but sometimes we figure it together. Still. Thank you.
