Going In Almost Completely Blind

Okay, so a couple of days had now passed, since me and Sakura, had transformed the Water Card at the water park. However, this was not currently, on either of our minds. In fact, rather then feeling quite relaxed, as we both had been, at the water park. We were both actually, feeling a little bit chilly.

Why you may ask? Well, that was because, we were both sort of on a ski trip at the current moment, with the rest of our class, from Tomoeda Elementary. However, neither of us were actually safe down at the lodge.

And as a matter of fact. This who entire ski trip, was actually quickly becoming a complete disaster. 

And this was because, not only were me, Sakura, and Eli currently stuck on top of a ski slope on the top of the mountain, but once we had gotten to the top, a blizzard had then decided to form. 

The wind had picked up as a result, which nearly wound up knocking both me and Sakura off of our feet. Luckily Eli had managed to grab hold of both of us, and as a result, we were able to steady ourselves.

"I'm sure glad you came up with us after all, thanks a lot," Sakura said to Eli. And yet, I was still suspicious of Eli, since I still didn't know any sort of information on his character. But, if Sakura trusted him the way she currently did, then so did I. So, I thanked him as well and smiled. Though still, I was still a tad bit suspicious of him, and I was still very much certain, that Li was too. 

However, it was at that point, that the wind, decided to pick up even more. And it was also at this point that all three of us started to hear a far away rumbling. And upon listening to the rumbling in question, a bit more closely. I then, knew exactly what it meant.

As it was very much in fact an avalanche. And to make matters just that much worse, it sounded like, it was headed straight for us. And, if Sakura and I didn't do something now, it would not only bury all three of us, but it would also wind up traveling further down hill. And, it would end up destroying the chalet that everyone else was in. However, me and Sakura also knew, that if we used our magic at this moment, then Eli would see us, and that would wind up boding very badly for the both of us.

I had initially thought that using the Sleep card was the best choice. But seeing as how the wind was howling as it currently was. And, with the current amount of snow present on the ground, neither of us would be able to carry Eli down the hill by ourselves. And, if he was asleep, then he might get wind up getting hit by the avalanche. 

And if we split up, he would wind up worrying about us, and would then most likely try and find us. But we knew, that given the circumstances, both me and Sakura, had no other choice available to either of us. And so, with this very much in mind. We both wound up choosing to take off, running back down the hill in the direction of the ski lift. 

But we also both knew, that there was only one Clow Card, that could be of use right now, in this exact situation. And with that thought in mind, we then, both took out our respective keys. "Key of the stars, with powers burning bright, reveal the staff, and shine your light, Release!" Me and Sakura, both chanted in unison. 

And then, with both of our respective staffs now in hand, I pulled out the Time card, and then turned to Sakura, to which we both gave a nod to each other. To which I then threw the Time card into the air. And, as it spun, we both spun our respective staffs. "We call upon the power of our stars, ancient forces near and far, Time card discard your former might, and draw your power from our light, Star Card!" Me and Sakura, both chanted in unison, as we raised our respective staffs, towards the currently spinning Time card.

And, once the Time card had then suddenly stopped spinning, and had now displayed the new symbol on the back and the new colors on the front, and the back, like the other transformed tar Cards. The avalanche was then hit, by the Time Card's power, and was stopped in its tracks. 

However, once everything around us had been frozen by the Time Card's power. It was then becoming quickly apparent, that doing something like this, was quickly taking a lot of magic power away from both me and Sakura. And to make matters worse, this was being further compounded, as Sakura, then slowly pulled out the Fire card. And as Sakura, very sluggishly, threw the Fire Card up into the air. I then noticed, that I wasn't fairing any better then her at this point. 

And unfortunately, as we both then attempted, to raise our respective star staffs, in an somewhat solid attempt, to try and use the Fire card. We both then started to waiver, and then, we both wound up falling over. And this was because we had both now exhausted our magical power. 

And, it was as we both fell, that the Time card's power, that had been holding back the avalanche, was now starting, to fade away. Which was causing the avalanche, to slowly pick up speed again. However, me and Sakura, hit the ground, and fell unconscious, neither of us were able, to see a familiar young man, use a sun shaped staff, to repel the avalanche. To which he then went over to where we were both laying on the ground unconscious, only to look over us both, with a slight smirk on his face.

And, though neither me, or Sakura, knew at that current moment, our adventure, regarding the Star Cards, was only, just beginning. And, even further into the future, me and Sakura, would wind up getting a polite invitation of sorts, from a certain individual, who went by the name, "The Sailor Guardian Of Time And Space." But, more on that, at a bit later of a date.
