Cardcaptor Sakura: The wild cards

CHAPTER 16: A ROBED FIGURE, SAKURA AND THE CARD DEALER

Third Person POV:

Another beautiful day in Tomoeda, as Sakura and Tomoyo had just finished the school day.

They had just flew back from Hong Kong last night, and were now making their way back to their homes, talking along the way.

Tomoyo: So Sakura, are you excited about the new school year?

Sakura: Hmmm, I'm not really sure. For one, I have no idea who our new homeroom teacher will be. Also, I'm kind of worried about something else. . .

Tomoyo: If I were to guess, it has something to do with all of the Wild Cards recently??

Sakura: *Nods slowly* Yeah. . . It's just, with all of the new cards I've been gathering, the more promises keep piling up. More and more people are depending on me to reunite them with their loved ones.

As they both continued to Walk, Sakura places her hand on her back, feeling the scar both Marluxia and Kaku left.

Sakura: I'm also worried about the future. So far, I've battled 2 members of the Organization, the first time I almost lost my life, the second time, Demyx almost stole Manda away. And that's just the members of the Organization. I'm scared about the others, the more powerful ones.

Tomoyo: *Smiled softly as she pats Sakura's shoulder* I'm sure we'll be able to cross that bridge in no time. Besides, you can count on Syaoran and I to always have your back. We don't have to find every single Wild Card now, we can do it at our own pace, while also getting new Clow Cards too.

Sakura smiled as she shook her head, banishing the thoughts of doubt that plagued her mind.

Sakura: Thanks, Tomoyo. I can always count on you and the others to keep me on track.

Tomoyo: *Giggles as she continues walking with Sakura* It's not a problem, Sakura.

As the two continued to walk, both of them were about to pass the King Penguin Park, when Sakura stopped and pointed out something.

Just beside the King Penguin Slide, was a small little tent area, several rugs were laid out in numerous spots as two pots of incense were burning.

As Sakura took another step closer, an overwhelming feeling, an aura unlike any other suddenly washed over her as Sakura stumbled backwards, Tomoyo quickly dropping her bag as she caught Sakura.

Tomoyo: Sakura?!? What's the matter?!?

Sakura, through quick breaths, tried steeling herself as she stated back at the weird campsite. It took her a while, but she was finally able to speak.

Sakura: Wild Cards. A lot of them. That campsite, whatever is there, has a lot of Wild Cards with them.

Tomoyo's eyes widened as she stared back at the camp.

After a little while though, the aura that was suddenly surrounding the camp died down, as Sakura was able to finally stand up, shaking off her headache.

While her heart was still pounding, Sakura steeled her resolve as she readied her wand.

Sakura: 'If the energy was this strong, a huge number of Wild Cards must be hiding somewhere in there.' *Grips her wand*

Sakura slowly made her way towards the tent, Tomoyo slowly trailing behind as she took out her video camera to record.

As soon as they reached the tent though, they heard shuffling as the tent doors opened, revealing a strange creature.

The creature itself looked like a black avian, similar to that of a crow. The figure was dressed in a makeshift robe made out of red leaves
With a sort of upside down cross on its forehead. The figure's eyes were closed, as its hands were in a prayer position.
