Constellations of Magic

Chapter 1

High on top of a cliff, one that looked out upon all that was the land of Greece, stood a young teenage girl, one who looked to be slightly muscular but also petite at the same time, with long sunflower blonde hair streaked in one area with a long black stripe. Her hair was pulled back into a very low ponytail, almost to the point that it was going to fall apart but it somehow stuck together, which fell to the bottom of her lower back. Eyes were as blue as the brilliant night sky, with little flecks of ice blue floating around within the orbs.

Sitting upon her left shoulder was a singular shoulder guard, no matching one on her right, which was strapped down by a buckle that went across her chest and down to her side. Her shirt is wrapped around her upper body, situated underneath the shoulder guard with a light brown strap connected to her waist, using a leather string to tighten it together. The color of her shirt seemed to be of a slight red color but it was also tinged lightly with gray, her lower half was covered by a pair of pants that were the exact same color. The pant legs were trapped against her calves by a piece of brown fabric, which was wrapped around her leg once and then criss-crossed down her leg towards her ankle. The fabric is connected to a pair of equally brown flats which had two other pieces of fabric connected to the shoes. Two dark brown pieces of leather fabric could be seen wrapped very tightly around both of her ankles.

The blonde haired woman sighed as she looked upwards towards the sky, looking up to see beautiful mixes of blues, purples, and many other warm colors filling her entire vision. Millions upon millions of little tiny stars scattered across the sky, twinkling as if they were smiling down to those that were viewing the night. Just by connecting the stars up there, though it did depend on where you were located upon the planet Earth, a viewer could pinpoint many different constellations within the beautiful and vast night sky.

For this sixteen year old teenage girl, she was able to see her guardian constellation, the Byakko,otherwise known as the White Tiger, which is known as one of the four different symbols of the Chinese constellation system, in any location while standing upon the planet Earth. She has such a strong and powerful connection to the gigantic collection of twinkling lights that you would think that she was the constellation itself but in a feminine human form.

She sighed out as her head moved downwards from the sky, after having been staring upwards for such a long time, watching as the daylight slowly sunk into the darkness of night, and looked out across the land of Greece, the place that she has come to call her home. She just stood there, watching over the foundation of what many people have known for years as Sanctuary, a place that only those who have pledged their loyalty to the Goddess of Strategic War, Athena, and her eighty-eight Constellation themed warriors known as the Saints call home. Her blue eyes travel down the mountain in which she was standing upon, catching glimpses of different Ancient Greek built buildings, there being twelve in total and all looking very different. Each building was designed based on the twelve Zodiac Signs, from Aries all the way up to Pisces, with one person standing guard at each building like a temple, though none could be seen at the moment standing outside their specific temple.

The whole land of Sanctuary was quiet as the day faded into the night, only little noises coming from bugs or echoes coming from the outside world could be heard. As the blonde haired woman, or otherwise known to the golden Saints of Sanctuary as Kaeda Vlahidi, watched over all that has been her home for four years, she spotted something, some movement finally happening. The guardian of the Scorpio Temple, a light violet-blue haired man by the name of Scorpio Milo, seemed to be heading up the stairs that connect each of the temples. The quarter japanese girl believed that Milo could possibly be heading up towards the eleventh temple, the Temple of the Aquarius, to see the one who guards it, Aquarius Camus. Camus was an elusive light blue haired ice user of the twelve Zodiacs, the man usually wearing the golden armor of the water bearer constellation.
