Morgan Crucks' house was a little overwhelming. Elizabeth sat at the oversized table with Mini sat on her lap. Morgan had gone out a while ago and left the two alone to explore, but Elizabeth didn't want to explore, and so she was just sitting and waiting.
A young maid, in a very short black outfit, came over to check on the pair. She bowed with respect when she came over, asking if they wanted anything. Elizabeth spoke to her. She was sweet.
The door slammed shut, making Elizabeth and Mini jump. Mini hid in Elizabeth's clothes.
"Elizabeth," Morgan called out. She stood up, holding Mini close, and walked over. She hugged him gently. He kissed her forehead.
"I was worried, where have you been?" She asked, looking up at him.
"I'm sorry my dear. I was at work." Elizabeth looked around briefly again. Given the size of the home, she figured it must be one high paying job.
"What do you do for work?" She asked. Mini dissolved in her arms, leaving them be.
"I do... a lot of things." He said, being purposefully vague. That left a lot of questions, and not all of them were good ones.
The maid came in to disturb the conversation, almost as if she had been ordered to interrupt if the discussion ever covered what Morgan did for work. She walked in, bowed and asked Elizabeth if she wanted anything. This time, Elizabeth said yes. She nodded, taking the order, and then returning with a pot of tea and 2 mugs.
"Here we are miss." She placed the tea on the table in front of Elizabeth. "Would you like me to pour?" Elizabeth shook her head.
"No. That's fine. Thank you, miss.... What's your name, sorry?" Elizabeth was trying to be polite to the brown haired maid.
"Virgo, miss." She bowed again and left. Elizabeth was stunned. She looked over at Morgan.
Elizabeth poured the tea and handed one to Morgan, who sat down next to her. Elizabeth couldn't help but watch Virgo as she worked.
"She's beautiful." She whispered, hoping no one would hear her, but Morgan did.
"She's the Zodiac." Morgan confirmed. That question had been burning in Elizabeth's mind since the maid had said her name. "I have a fair few Zodiac creatures here. They all appeared to me a while a go."
"Mini appeared to me a while back, too." Elizabeth mumbled. She sipped her tea. "Who else do you have?"
"I have four... including Virgo." Morgan explained. "You're probably wondering who. I have Cancer, Sagittarius and Aquarius." Elizabeth shot him a look quickly. She only had Mini, and she wasn't even a full Zodiac. Mini's other half was somewhere out there.
"Why do you have four?" She asked. "Do they have to choose you?"
"Yes Miss, we choose our master." Virgo answered her question. The way she said 'master' made Elizabeth a little bit uncomfortable, but she realised that Virgo was Morgan's maid. It made her wonder what kind of person Morgan was.
"Then who has the others?"
Several questions later and Elizabeth had managed to draw out a lot of information. She found out that all the Zodiacs have a chosen master. Morgan is in charge of four of them, which is very rare. A few powerful people have two, but most of the masters only have one creature. The only Zodiac who doesn't have a master is Scorpio because he doesn't want to be claimed by anyone. Leo didn't have a master until about two hours ago. Virgo told Elizabeth that whoever Leo chose as a master was incredibly powerful, otherwise he wouldn't have bothered.
