Bound by Fate
The bond had changed everything.
It wasn’t just about emotions bleeding into each other—it was deeper than that.
It affected their magic. Their thoughts. Their very existence.
And now, they had to learn how to control it.
Training with the Founders
Godric Gryffindor watched as Syaoran and Yue circled each other on the dueling platform. The magic in the air crackled, their connection making each movement flawlessly synchronized.
Syaoran struck first—an arc of moonlit fire shooting toward Yue.
Yue dodged, his wings flaring as he countered with a wave of frost. But before the spell could land—
Don’t move.
Syaoran froze instinctively. Yue’s voice had echoed directly in his mind, warning him without words.
The frostwave shattered against a barrier Syaoran hadn’t even realized he cast.
Godric whistled. “That’s terrifying.”
Salazar Slytherin smirked beside him. “It’s also useful. Imagine if they learn to weaponize it.”
Yue landed softly, his silver eyes locked on Syaoran’s. You hesitated.
Syaoran scowled. You froze me.
I saved you. Yue crossed his arms, looking entirely too smug.
Godric clapped his hands. “Again!”
Syaoran groaned. This was going to be a long day.
Reiko and Tranquility’s Discovery
On another training field, Reiko and Tranquility sparred with swords.
Unlike the others, their bond wasn’t just mental.
It was physical.
Reiko lunged. Tranquility countered without thinking.
She feinted left. He dodged before she even moved.
The fight was flawless, but also frustrating.
Reiko pulled back, panting. “This is impossible. I can’t land a hit.”
Tranquility twirled his blade. “Because I already know what you’re going to do.”
Reiko scowled. “That’s cheating.”
“Not my fault you’re predictable,” he teased.
She swung at him in retaliation, and he effortlessly dodged—but this time, his hand brushed hers.
And in an instant—
They weren’t on the training field anymore.
A memory surfaced—
The two of them as children, playing in the golden fields of the Sun Kingdom. Reiko laughing as she chased Tranquility, her tiny hands grasping for his.
Tranquility’s breath hitched as the memory faded. He stared at Reiko, wide-eyed.
She had seen it too.
Their connection wasn’t just present.
It was reaching into the past.
And that was dangerous.
Endymion and His Guardians
Endymion had sparred with his guardians countless times.
But this was different.
Nephrite moved, and Endymion moved with him.
Zoisite cast a spell, and Jadeite countered it before he spoke.
Their bond made them unbreakable.
But it also made them vulnerable.
Endymion stumbled once, and Nephrite nearly collapsed from the phantom pain.
Kunzite gritted his teeth. “We need to fix this.”
Zoisite’s gaze darkened. “If one of us dies—”
Jadeite finished the thought. “—we all go down with them.”
Endymion exhaled. This bond was a blessing and a curse.
And they needed to master it.
Clow’s Final Warning
That night, Clow gathered them all. His expression was unreadable.
“You’re adapting fast,” he admitted. “But you don’t understand the full extent of what this bond means.”
Reiko shifted. “We know it links us.”
Clow’s eyes darkened. “It does more than that.”
He lifted a hand, and suddenly—
The room vanished.
Instead, they stood in a vast space filled with golden threads of magic, all connected.
“This,” Clow said, gesturing to the glowing lines, “is your bond. It isn’t just mental or physical. It is existential.”
Syaoran swallowed. “Meaning?”
Clow turned to them, his voice grave.
“If this bond ever breaks… so do you.”
Silence fell.
No one spoke.
Because for the first time, they truly understood.
They weren’t just connected.
They were one.
And there was no going back.
