Grace went to take a bath and when she came out of the room, she saw the book that Mr Reed had given her. She decided to take a look at it. The book was purple in colour with the some hearts at the four corners. On the cover, there were the words 'GRACE' on it. The front cover had a golden sun while the back had a silver moon. There was a lock on it. She tried opening it but it would not unlock no matter how much she pulled. Then she saw an imprint in the cover. 'I wonder' she thought. She took the pendant from around her neck and placed it in the imprint. It fitted perfectly. Suddenly she was eloped in a blinding light that was produced by the book. She could hardly see anything but could see that the lock was opening. Slowly the light died down. When she opened her eyes again, the book had opened. On the first page there was an incantation. 'Why not' she thought."Key of the stars,With powers burning bright.I, Grace command you To aid me in my quest.Release"Soon a light surrounded her pendant and it started to grow longer and longer. It had grown into a staff that was about one head taller than her. It had a yellowish golden ten pointed star with white wings at the side and below it was a golden sun and silver moon. When she took it in her hands, she felt a warmth run through her body. On the next page, there was another incantation; she decided to read it too."Love Sun and Hope Moon,Come and help your mistress.I call upon you at this hour,Come forth."Suddenly two sets of white wings (they look like angel wings) emerged from the book and they opened up. One revealed a majestic yellow leopard with a red gem on its forehead. The other revealed a man with long silver hair. He looked liked an eighteen year old. He was clothed in light blue robes and both his hands had gloves with purple gems sewed on. They looked so familiar but could not remember where see had seen them before. They both looked at other and stared at her."Oh she is so cute. Don't you think so too?" said the leopard and it went to lick Grace on the face."Love control yourself. The mistress cannot see." said the man."Who are you?" said Grace."Sorry mistress. How rude of us. Well my name is Love Moon while that fellow over there is Hope Sun. He isn't much of a talker" said the leopard while pointing at the man she called Hope. "You can just call me Love" she said with a wink."Hi! My name is Grace and why do you keep calling me mistress?" asked Grace."Well we are your guardians and we have to protect our mistress don't we Hope." He nodded. "We also guard the contents of the book as well and we call you our mistress because you are our master and it's sort of out of respect for you." said Love with a smile."I rather you not call me mistress but by my name. Calling me mistress makes me sound so old. What is inside that book?" said Grace."Turn the page and you will find out." said Love.Inside was a deck of cards. They were purple in colour and each had a word on the bottom with a picture of a person or an object and there were some Chinese words at the top. On the back there was a yellow star in the middle with a golden sun on the left and a silver moon at on the right of the star. There were a total of 52 cards. They were:Light, Dark, Firey, Watery, Windy, Earthy, Thunder, Snow, Freeze, Time, Return, Shadow, Flower, Rain, Storm, Cloud, Wood, Mist, Illusion, Fight, Song, Shot, Sweet, Arrow, Twin, Shield, Power, Loop, Mirror, Big, Little, Change, Voice, Lock, Jump, Silent, Erase, Sleep, Dash, Create, Bubble, Wave, Libra, Sand, Fly, Glow, Sword, Move, Maze, Through, Dream and Float.(I know I took this from Card Captor Sakura.)"What are these cards?" asked Grace."These cards were made to help the world and now only you can command them." said Love."Great but how and who made these cards?" asked Grace."Well you did and Mr Reed would teach you." said Love."How do you know Mr Reed? Also I never made this" said Grace."Well he use to be our master before you changed the book to be yours." replied Love."But how? I never met Mr Reed before until this afternoon." said Grace."Remember a dream you had a few months ago. There was a red book with the word 'CLOW' on top. I was there and so was Hope." she nodded. "Well with the help of Mr Reed, you manage to change the cards and books. Also didn't the star pendant appear around your neck the next morning?" said Love."No wonder you looked so familiar." said Grace. "But why was I so tired that morning.""Well you had something like an energy drain since you used a lot of your powers that night so you were very tired. All that doesn't matter anymore since you are our new master." Love said.Then both Hope and Love bowed before her."Thank you" Grace said with a smile. "Also mistress there is more stuff in that book about magic. You can read it to learn more about the magic world and the cards in there." said Hope finally."I told you to call me Grace and thank you Hope. You should try to talk more. People would think that you were anti-social." Love couldn't control herself and she started laughing like crazy. Hope blushed but fortunately it was too dark to see." Love it ain't nice to laugh at people.""Sorry." she said trying to compose herself.The night ended with Grace falling asleep while reading the book. Love and Hope slept on the cushions and mattress that Grace had put out for them.-End of Chapter-
