Zodiac High | Celestial Chronicles: The Prophecy

Chapter 32~ Oh Gods!

Guess who's back ;)
-♓️

Pisces POV

Squad Z and X were in the library, mainly to get away from the cold, but I was happy to be in this place. It was one my favourite escapes in the whole school, the smell of books, the cosiness and all the history that was here made it special.
I sat by the window, my gaze resting on the thick blanket of snow resting on what was previously the green grass.

"Hey!" someone greeted.

Not someone, Leo, a smile spread to my face, my insides feeling warm. Just being near him made me happy.

"Hey," I gave him a smile, "why aren't you reading?"

"I'm bored," he shrugged.

"You're in a library, full of books and paintings, and a lot of history!" I exclaimed.

"No, that's interesting for you," he countered.

I rolled my eyes, and my eyes flicked back to the the diary of Aphrodite I was reading. 

"Pay attention to me," he whined.

"You love your cuddles and affection don't you," I laughed.

"You do too!" he argued,

I sighed and shifted over to him, settling in, I nestled my head below his collarbone and continued to read. 

Today was the ceremony to open the Academy, I can't help but feel hope for all the good things that are coming. My descendants will be safe with my powers to help them, I just hope everything will be okay between Zeus and Hades. Even Athena (who I despise), has agreed with me that the tension was unnecessary.

My eyes widened and looked around, shocked with the big discovery.

Gemini POV

I flicked through the Diary of Hermes, uninterested except for the drama that happened between everyone. Though one page caught my attention, titled Celestial Academy.

A school for our descendants? What an amusing thought! Imagine, our descendants in harmony? That'd be surprising considering our own conflicts, even if we were family. All I can hope is that the tension settles down between Zeus and Hades.

"Guys?" Pisces voice called out.

"We're descendants of the gods?" I finished.

Pisces and I shared a look and she signalled for me to go on, seeming unsure herself. 

"So, this diary I've read, it's from the god Hermes and um, this is confusing, like apparently the academy's meant for the descendants of the gods, and that's how we have our powers," my voice wavered.

"Same here," Pisces said.

"Do you guys wanna do some more research?' Aqua asked.

"Sure,"

We flicked through books of history, art, science, fiction searching for anything that would make some sort of clarity.
Nothing. We couldn't find anything

"Ugh, nothing's here!"

Sagittarius POV

So we were in a library with books and books and apparently we're the descendants of gods? Nothing made any sense.

"Cap, you're smart right?" I looked at brown eyed boy, he looked up from his book and he almost broke his mask for a second, as a tiny hint of blush crept on his cheek. He immediately gained composure.

"Yes,"

"Hah you blushed for a second there" I pointed to him.

"Sagittarius this isn't the time to be joking around, you had a question," he sighed, raising his eyebrow.

I quieted down, "So gods exist, like currently?" I asked.

"They are immortal," Gemini pointed out.

"Is that how we got our powers?" Leo asked.

"No shit sherlock," Gemini stuck her tongue out at Leo, her friend repeating the gesture.

While some had theories, speaking out, the majority of us just stayed quiet, trying to process everything. It was strange to have my perspective turned upside down by a few simple words, it made the whole spectrum of the universe just seem bigger.

"My brain hurts," I stretched my back, feeling tired.

"Because it's so small?" Capricorn smirked.

"HE MADE A JOKE LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! LETS GO! THE ROBOT MADE A JOKE!" I burst out, "I'M SO PROUD, I'M GONNA CRY CAP,"

"Don't call me Cap," he reminded.

"It's stuck around for more than ten months," Gem laughed.

"Ten months..." Pisces repeated, her bright marine eyes looking disappointed.

"Who's staying over winter break?" Cancer asked.

Everyone except raised their hand, looking shocked that they wouldn't be alone. I was slightly excited to see that Capricorn was also staying over the break, it made my heart to somersaults. I grinned, making Cap look my way and give me a strange look.

"What are you smiling at?" he asked, looking dumbfounded.

"Uh-" I blushed, stammering, "there's a rainbow flag over there!"

Capricorn had a questioning look in his eye but shrugged it off, paying more attention to the problem at hand. My mood dropped, disappointed to have lost his attention or concern. I watched him as his eyebrows furrowed, it seemed that even the Capricorn could not figure this out.

Cancer POV

"God, the year's almost over," I sighed, putting my head on my best friend's shoulder.

"I know right? Seems like just yesterday I could hear Gemini sing 'My Heart Will Go On' from over a kilometre away," he chuckled.

"I forgot about that," I smiled.

"If this year went by so quickly, we only got two more to go," he sighed.

"SHIT!" Leo shrieked

I looked up to see him running away from where he had been previously sitting with Pisces. My eyes flicked over to the brown-haired girl and saw her glaring at him with the diary she had found, and a page that had been ripped from it. I put two and two together and prayed for Leo's life. She glared daggers at him before going to find another book. She was definitely ignoring him from now on.

"Pisces really loves her books," Gem chuckled.

"She's not the only one," Sag pointed to Capricorn. 

"I'm not going to ignore someone over it," he rolled his eyes.

"Aries literally stole one of your notebooks and you still haven't spoken to him," Sag laughed.

"Who's Aries again?" Capricorn asked.

"It was one time man, I gave it back," Aries whined.

"I hear some annoying voice in the background, is that just me?" he asked.

"I hear it in my nightmares," Gem shuddered.

"Am I the man of your dreams?" he smirked.

Everyone but one person erupted in laughter. My eyes drifted to Aqua, who was sulking in the corner as she watched Aries flirt with Gemini. I would help her with that later but now I just wanted to feel happy.

I wanted to live in this moment.
