Libras Pov:

This is so creepy.

The floorboard creaked under my steps as I made my way to the table.

"Come in, come in, sit down here." He waved his hands to the seats.

We all sat down and looked around.

Capricorn was the first one to speak up, "So..who are you?"

"Well," the man started, as he took a seat at the table as well, "I'm Cepheus. I wrote the book."

My eyes shot to Cancer. Giving her a glare that only someone in the moment would be able to understand.

This guy? Really?

"Oh." Sag said in a shocked undertone. Gemini stepped on her foot. "Ow!"

"I know it's disappointing, but I really hope you do trust me on this. I've been waiting for you all for decades." Cepheus explained.

"Decades?" Aries asked from the corner of the table.

"Yes, and I think I might have the answer!" He got up frantically and walked over to a door.

"This guy is crazy." Leo mumbled under his breath to me, I nodded back at him.

He threw the door open and brought out a board full of photos, maps, ripped book pages, quotes, dates, timelines, and unfamiliar faces. All connected with a red string.

It's like a murder investigation.

"This." he announces loudly and slams his hands on the board pointing to a unfamiliar face. "He..he's your answer."

Gemini mumbled under her breath while Sag smiled and giggled, unable to control her laugh.

"I'm sorry, but who is that?" Taurus asked him furrowing her eyebrows.

Cepheus cleared his throat and pulled out a chair to sit next to us, "The reason you all are here right now is because of him. Ask him, he will know." 

"Soo, what's he like...a god?" I blurted out and immediately regretted it as I saw his face turn slowly.

"No. He's not some silly god, you wouldn't be sitting here without him. If it wasn't for him you would probably just be another face on the street. A name that is briefly mentioned! He made you. He made all of you. He made me! I know that's for sure." He yelled out in rage as he tore the collage of pictures and other prints off the board before throwing it to the ground.

"He made me!" He screamed as his finger gripped and pulled his hair. "He..made me." He wept, his voice getting softer and softer before he, and the rest of our group, went quiet.

Suddenly all heads turned to Pisces as he slowly got up from his chair, "Where are you going?" Virgo spat at him.

"What do you think, getting the hell out of here!" He crept to the door and motioned for us to come with us.

We all follow his lead, occasionally looking back at him. But he just stared ahead. Like nothing happened.

Scorpios Pov:

We pulled into some diner that Gemini said we should go to so that we could talk about the giant fucking elephant in the room.
