10. who rode in defense of your queendom

Home was good; home was always good, even after you had been gone so long you had forgotten what it was like.

Lungs breathed in the dry air, tasted in on a tongue; it was exactly as he remembered.
Towers rising all about the city, that was unchanged; her brother was grouchy, as always; her smile was as bright as the sun at noon, back to normal, which was a relief.

He was back home and life was back to normal as well.
Almost.

There was a queen on the throne and one to protect her.

But nothing else had changed.

"Syaoran? What's wrong? Something the matter?" She left her seat and walked over to where he was standing.

"Nothing, just seems as if nothing's changed," his gaze was scanning over the horizon, following every curve and twist of architecture.

"Nothing has changed," she assured him, threading an arm around his and smiling up at him.

"Nothing's changed much at all."
