"What do you mean?" Asked Cancer.
"There's something in the rock, Can. Hey guys there is something in the rock!"
Virgo was the first one there.
"Leo! Do you know what you have just uncovered?" Asked Virgo.
"No." Replied Leo.
"You have uncovered a dying star!" Cries Libra.
"You need for it to speak. " Says Pisces. I lift the star from its resting position and into the welcoming warmth of a blanket.
"You-must" Coughs the star. "You-must-find-her. Find-Ophiuchus. She-will-tell-you-everything." Continues the star.
"What is your name?" I ask
"We-do-not-go-by-names. We-are-the-stars. Every-star-is-a-guardian-angel. Find-Ophiuchus. She-is-my-Zodiacus."
The star, who we would name Ophiuchus, was hurting.
"Where can we find her?" Asks Gemini.
"There." Says the star. A beam of light cast upon the ocean. Next to it, was a house. Smoke in the red brick chimney, with the windows as clear as day. The freshly coated paint job on the house sparkled a brilliant white, leaving no room for dark spots.
"Take-me-to-her." Says the star.
"Could you give us a minute, please?" Asks Virgo. The star nods his head.
I stand up, ready to prepare for this "meeting".
"Oh, no Leo. You stay with the star for now." Says Pisces.
"But I'm part of the group too. I think I deserve to hear whats going on." I retort.
"Suit yourself."
I walk over, the star still shining bright, but not as bright as the stars in heaven.
"We need to think about this. Stars die only to one thing that humans could never tolerate. We all know what that one thing is, right?" Asks Virgo
