| Sakura |
A tower...? Huh? It is... The same dream from last night... I knew it, there's someone... Who is it? |
| Sakura woke up after midnight. | |
| Sakura | [Whispers] Hoe? It's still dark. |
| Sakura turns to the clock. The room is dark but she can dimly see it says two in the morning. It's just the very hour which Japanese folks call the dead of night. She doesn't know why she should wake up that hour, but she guesses she woke up inevitably, but not accidentally. She is anxious about it, but it was so early that she falls asleep before she knows it. | |
| Sakura |
Hoe...? A castle? Where am I? Someone's at the top... Who is it? What does she want from me? |
| Next morning, on her waking up, what did she see just before her eyes? | |
| Sakura | Hoeeeeee!!!! |
| Kero | Whoa! What are you screaming like that for?! |
| Sakura | Because you scared me in a close-up. |
| Kero | That's what you say, it's 8:30 and I woke you up! |
| Sakura | [Surprise at the time] Hoeeeee!!!! |
| Kero | Sakura, you're such an oversleeper. But, Sakura, you were talking in sleep last night. |
| Sakura | Hmm... I saw the same dream as the day before. I just don't know what made me, but I woke up at two, and I went sleeping then I had a dream of a castle. |
| Kero | It must be a prophetic dream, Sakura. What did the castle look like, anyway? |
| Sakura | Ummm... |
| Sakura explains the features of the catle in the dream. | |
| Kero | Hmm... That's gotta be Osaka castle. |
| Sakura | Osaka castle? |
| At this time, Tomoyo and Muryo come up to Sakura. | |
| Tomoyo | Sakura, breakfast is ready. |
| Sakura | I'm coming! |
| After breakfast, the girls and a guardian take a train on the loop line, heading for the castle in the dream—Osaka castle. That morning, the weather isn't fine, it looks likely to rain. Because of the unsettled weather, it's chilly for summer. Mysteriously, not a soul is found at Osaka castle. Is it closed for that day...? They partly think so, but... | |
| Someone | Hahaha, good of you to come! Meet me at the top of the castle tower! |
| Sakura | ... |
| Someone | Take it or leave it? If you want to leave, take this! |
| It begins rainning, and a thunderbolt strikes the vicinity at the count of three. | |
| Sakura | Hoeee! |
| Kero | Don't be scared, Sakura! |
| Tomoyo | Hang in there, Sakura! |
| Sakura | Al-right. Fly Card! Release and dispel! |
| A pair of wings come out on Sakura's back, then she takes off heading for the top of the castle tower. On getting to the top, she sees a girl waiting for her, who looks almost the same age as Kim Muryo. | |
| Sakura | Who... are you? |
| Girl | I'm Pak Noel. I just need your help. |
| Sakura | Wha- |
| Noel | I heard the legend that the evil spirit Omnitenebria will arrive in the world every 1,000 years. They say, whole the world will be ruled by the darkness... I know today is Omnitenebria's arrival date... It'll arrive this evening, to be exact. |
| Sakura | What's gonna happen to us? |
| Noel | Omnitenebria was sealed time and again by legendary heroes, but every seal that trapped it couldn't withstand longer than half a day. That's why we got to seal it this time. |
| Sakura | What if we can't...? |
| Noel | The world will be ruled by... Oh, no. Sorry, I can't bare to talk about it. |
| Sakura | ... |
| Noel | But I'm sure you can handle it. Oops, sorry, but may I have your name? |
| Sakura | Sakura. Sakura Kinomoto. |
| Noel | Nice to meet you, but are you sensing anything? |
| Sakura | Yeah... Faintly, but I'm sensing something dreadful. |
| Noel | I need to know its exact arrival time. Say, Sakura, can you foresee exactly when it'll befall? |
| Sakura closes her eyes and concentrates her mind, before speaking of what she saw. She can forecast the arrival time. | |
| Sakura | Looks like... around... five this afternoon. |
| Noel |
Earlier than I expected. Thank you... Now let's go. We don't have much time. |
| Noel on her psychokinesis, and Sakura on her Fly Card; they jump off the castle before descending back on the ground where Tomoyo and Muryo are waiting. | |
