"Repeating the question, where in the whole wide world are we and why are we here?" Sagittarius raised an eyebrow.
"Repeating my answer, you'll find out." Dr. Lyra gave him a look which said 'shut the fuck up or else-'.
Dr. Lyra, Pegila and Ophiuchus had brought them to a huge dome-like building.
"Before aunt Andromeda d-died, she bestowed these 13 necklaces upon me," she held up a transperant box in which the necklaces were stuffed in "At first, I really didn't think these were a matter of importance but thanks to Lyra here-"
"You should really start respecting a doctor." Aries smirked.
Ignoring her, Ophiuchus continued "discovered the purpose of these. Now I'd like all of you to pick the necklace which has your sign- I mean uhm..... how do I say this?"
Pegila whispered something to her and Ophiuchus nodded before saying "Please come forward and collect your necklace if your name is called."
"Aries," Ophiuchus called out.
Aries stepped forward and was given a flaming red necklace with a fancy V kind of thing carved in the middle.
"But- but Aries starts with an A." Capricorn stuttered.
"Your too young guys," Pegila sighed.
"I wouldn't call 16 young," Leo scoffed.
Ignoring them, Ophiuchus continued, being dead serious, she called "Taurus,"
Taurus took a deep breath and stepped forward, Ophiuchus gave her a necklace which was a deep shade of green and had a bull kind of outline carved at the centre.
"Taurus the bull," Aquarius joked and everyone burst out laughing, including Taurus.
"That actually makes sense," Dr. Lyra merely shrugged.
"Next! Gemini,"
"Wow this is literally soooooooo cool," he said as he held up a necklace which was white in colour and had the Roman number two on it.
"I'm confused," Scorpio commented as he glanced at Gemini's necklace.
"Me too!" Everyone else said together.
"I'm sure you'll understand later," Ophiuchus smiled understandingly at them and continued "Cancer!"
"Wow," Cancer was holding a light ocean blue necklace with two comma like things which were to the opposite of each other.
"This is getting weirder," Leo remarked.
"Next is Leo," she (Ophiuchus) turned to face him sharply and gave him his necklace.
"Kinda suits me and kinda not," Leo joked. The necklace was the exact colour as Aries' but had a small circle in the middle on top of which was an elongated curved line kind of thing.
"I think it's love at first sight for Leo," Aquarius laughed.
Pegila, Dr. Lyra and Ophiuchus burst out laughing.
"Okay so next is.... Virgo!" Ophiuchus smiled.
She gave Virgo a necklace which was again the same colour as Taurus'. It had a kind of M and a short line passed over the last line of the M (if that makes sense).
"Wow it's beautiful." Virgo smiled.
"I'm confused," Pisces remarked.
"Your not the only one," Sagittarius agreed.
"You'll find out soon enough," Ophiuchus assured them "Libra!"
"Wow it's amazing!" Libra held up a necklace the same colour as Gemini's but it had two lines. The bottom line was straight but the upper one had a C curve in the middle.
"Are we going to save the world or something?" Cancer joked.
"Maybe......or maybe not," Dr. Lyra merely shrugged.
Ophiuchus chuckled, then continued "Next up is Scorpio!"
"Thanks," he smiled, and sent a puzzling glance towards a blue necklace M just like Virgo's but this one had an arrow like thing at the end.
"We deserve an explanation after all this," Gemini sniffed in an offended way.
Pegila cast an amused smile towards Ophiuchus but didn't say a word.
"Sagittarius!"
"Y'know you can call me Sag, Sagi or-"
"There he goes again," Virgo rolled her eyes.
Sagittarius ignored her and turned to inspect a red necklace, same as Aries' and Leo's. It had a slanted arrow with a short straight line in the middle at its centre.
"Ahem, Capricorn?"
She handed him a green necklace. (It's too complicated for me to explain, so here you go - ♑)
"Wow what a complex symbol," Capricorn remarked.
"It looks like pi," Aries remarked.
"It looks nothing like pi," Aquarius snapped.
"Does,"
"Doesn't,"
"Does,"
"Doesn't,"
"Guys, stop arguing like a bunch of 5-year olds and sorry to disappoint you Aries but it looks nothing like Pi," Virgo facepalmed.
"It was just a joke," Aries turned red with anger.
"I'm sure Aries didn't mean to offend anyone," Ophiuchus smiled kindly at Aries and continued "Aquarius? AQUARIUS?!"
"Wait she was just here arguing with-"
"Did someone call me?" Aquarius appeared out of nowhere "I was just exploring..."
"Oooh can I joi-" Pegila started but stopped when Ophiuchus glared at her.
"There you go," Aquarius was handed a white necklace with two crisscross lines lying horizontally at the centre.
"Last but not the least is Pisces!"
"Wow thanks!" Pisces stared at her blue necklace at the centre of which were two curved lines, to the opposite of each other and facing outward. There was a straight line at the middle.
"Finally," Dr. Lyra groaned.
"Your questions were getting out of hand," Pegila explained.
"This is my necklace," Ophiuchus showed them a black necklace with a serpent carved at the middle. A long straight line divided it into two halves.
"Yours is different," Pisces remarked.
"I know and by the way, these necklaces will give you...well help you....find your powers and kind of control them."
"Ophi, please be serious," Pisces said dramatically.
An hour later
"Where are we?" Taurus asked.
"In a forest, and guys I beg of you not to misplace your necklaces, let me explain the rules of this, er.... game to you," Ophiuchus said.
Dr. Lyra and Pegila were not present.
"There are 4 golden eggs in these woods, you will have to divide into 4 groups based on your elements, I mean colour of your necklaces, however you will also face....trouble, and also don't worry, of course I wouldn't leave you guys in the forest by yourselves, I can moniter you from my necklace," Ophiuchus added brightly.
"I-I'm... shook," Virgo sighed.
"Good luck guys!" Ophiuchus said optimistically.
"Um... Thank you?" Scorpio raised an eyebrow.
"This is just like a scene from a movie!" Aries said excitedly.
"I feel like an alien." Aquarius added.
