Just A Zodiac Story

confusion for the zodiacs

About a week had passed since Julian had talked to Aoki, thanks to Aoki he managed to learn about HOW dimension travelling was possible, however he was still stuck thinking about what happened when he got sent to the dimension he was in now, "just what is that damn goddess thinking?" Julian couldn't help but ask himself as he just sat with Lumi playing a game of checkers, "uh- hey not again!" Lumi pouted Julian just mindlessly played and still managed to take another one of lumi's pieces, Aveline however just stared at Julian despite the fact he had to finish editing some photos he had taken before, Julian just continued to mindlessly play which was not like him because he would always notice when someone was looking at him and get nervous or anxious because before when someone when stare at him it was because they wanted him dead, and that had not changed his sensitivity to being stared at, and thanks to that mishura was now also staring Julian because he knew that Julian should have been fidgeting with his tail like when he got nervous or anxious thanks to people staring at him, it all continued until Lumi sighed, "dear Julian...how...is it that you achieved this?" Lumi asked with a smile clearly bothered by the fact that Julian had beaten her despite not even paying attention, "you made a mistake when you moved that your piece from here- to here, you should have moved the one behind it instead" Julian explained, Lumi just gave hima blank stare and smiled, "luanesha play checkers with me! this bastard is too good!!" Lumi finally yelled, Julian blinked and just shrugged as he got up and went to the kitchen while luanesha joined Lumi and set up the board again, however as Julian was in the kitchen making himself a sandwich, he finally noticed Aveline and mishura who were staring at him as he turned to them after finishing the making of his sandwich, "what's wrong?" Julian asked them making Aveline and mishura sigh, "Julian...i- that's what WE should be asking YOU!" Mishura said as he stopped going through the paperwork he had, Julian smiled, "what's that supposed to mean?" Julian just chuckled, however Aveline immediately gave him a glare, "don't go on trying to pretend with us! Hurry up and tell us what the hell is going on!" Aveline said glaring at Julian, Julian smiled but soon his smile fell as he looked to the side and took a bite of his sandwich and looked lost in thought, "should I? I- honestly...I guess I just had an existential crisis" Julian sighed, "care to elaborate?" Mishura asked, Julian smiled at him, "I found out...about how I got to this dimension, the truth of how I got here... Someone from my dimension told me everything, he also told me...about the truth of why portals even show up on the first place, and a few other things" Julian sighed, mishura sighed, "and? What did you find out? If we find out why portals show up in the first place the-" mishura tried to say but Julian just shook his head, "the goddess of creation of my world...ashery...is actually, also the creator of this dimension, she made this dimension, and my own, and supposedly one other one that no one has access to...
However" Julian paused as mishura and aveline's eyes widened, however due to the fact that the kitchen was right next to the living room where everyone else was at, everyone immediately got to mishura and Aveline the minute they heard that their dimension was made by the same goddess that made Julian's dimension, "however, she also created the species, and everything in them, and the goddess of creation, is someone..with a very childish personality...I met her a couple of times since I am the patron saint of the goddess of magic, and one of the 1000 followers of the goddess of knowledge, meaning I have access to a special library that holds all the secrets of my dimension but-" Julian froze before realisation hit him, he laughed in disbelief, "I should have tried to go back to the library of memories...I could have contacted goddess Yuli.." Julian muttered, "Julian! Explain properly!" Mishura said now looking shocked by the sudden information that everything has been made by one single goddess, "Julian...please explain better" Amara said as she looked worried now about the news, "r-right... The goddess of creation..creates species very often, think, humanoid species or even monsters at times, us demonoids were the 5th species she created...but considering that if she also had this dimension to 'play' with...she may have created even more species here" Julian sighed, Amara froze as memories flooded her head, "us...it couldn't be-" Amara said, Julian looked confused, "a-anyways, that aside, she is very childish! And sometimes even rescues or helps someone, only to later stab them in the back, she 'pranks' entire nations or clans, which often leads to devastation.. and from what I gathered.." Julian sighed, "to travel between the worlds she made...you need to have her permission, and she herself has to let you enter that world personally, or else you won't be able to travel back and forth... However she does it on a whim as far as I know" Julian said as he just looked down and ate the rest of his sandwich while the zodiacs all looked at Amara as if wanting to confirm their thoughts, "Amara...she created..this world- and species? It can't possibly mean-" Ashton said, Ruben just couldn't deal with it and ended up walking out with Aries who was trying not to punch something, ai-jun just collapsed on the floor while dielli looked confused and in shock, "yes...we appeared...out of nowhere....with no memories what so ever of what we were and yet we knew what we had to do...it's possible that she was the one who-" Amara tried to say but as cut off by lielly's laughter, "your kidding right? We couldn't have possibly been made just for a goddess's- sick amusement!? Amara you must be joking! Julian! It's not true right!?" Lielly yelled, dielli let out a low growl as launesha just smiled and looked down her gaze lost and emotionless, Jacob sighed, "alright! Calm ya self down liel! If ya keep going yer gonna destroy the damn table!" Jacob yelled as he tried to calm the situation a bit since Aveline and Amara were just stuck unable to do anything thanks to the revelation, and Ashton was trying to make sense of everything while kazuki was just trying to keep his mind occupied with other things thanks to his habit of self doubt, however lielly just glared at Jacob as her grip on the table tightened until she destroyed the part of the table she was grabbing, Jacob sighed as avline just got up looking angry but also confused, and so Jacob just looked to mishura before realising that currently everyone except him were having an existential crisis, "ya'll gotta be fucking kiddin me!" Jacob finally yelled before light green fog began leaving his body, everyone didn't even look at it however suddenly Lumi who was trying to get her thoughts together and who was the weakest of all of the zodiacs immediately fell to the grown coughing before she went unconscious, Julian finally reacted as his pupils became like slits as soon as the fog got to him, everyone else looked at Jacob surprised as they all began falling to the ground and coughing, dielli being the strongest of all the zodiacs however immediately got up and tried to stop Jacob but was shocked when suddenly she found herself trapped in the same old arabian town in which she had first started out, however it was not a happy sight as she began seeing the dead bodies of her former comrades, "n-no! STOP IT! NO!" Dielli yelled having a mental breakdown at the rush of memories as she tried to use her fire abilities but suddenly she felt as if she was drowning in a rushing river, it was to the point that she finally fell unconscious from the shock that her senses felt, however Julian was still up and tried to stop Jacob as well, but as soon as Julian tried to grab Jacob while he struggled to hold onto reason, Jacob immediately turned into a small emerald snake but Julian's senses were attacked by the illusion just how dielli had been attacked by Jacob's illusion infested fog, and soon in front of Julian instead of that small snake, he was trapped by his father's chain spell, "I.. did nothing-" Julian tried to say but soon his senses were attacked by pain that could only be caused by the spells of his father, Jacob sighed, "rest...we will talk later" Jacob said to Julian as tears streamed down Julian's face until the pain become too much and he fainted, "holy motha fuckin shit! I DID NOT! Think I would ever be forced to use this against these guys...." Jacob sighed as he had used a much more advanced version of his illusions, this time he had directly made it so that anyone who inhaled his dog even just a tiny bit would be directly attacked by detailed memories of their biggest fears or regrets, however it was also mixed with a sleeping ability he could only use when he created illusions using his fog since it was basically sleeping gas, "god I hate this...." Jacob sighed before he stopped spreading Hsi fog after making sure that everyone was knocked out cold, then went to Emiliano and Ruben who were outside with lily who had gone out for a walk earlier, "woah there! What happened?" Emiliano asked Jacob, "are you alright Jacob? You look tired" Ruben said to Jacob, "yeah...I just had to knock out everyone because they became way too restless after the whole- revelation..." Jacob said annoyed, "help me take them to their rooms?" Jacob asked the three of them, "r-right away!" Lily said and ran inside, "sure thing? Damn, I didn't think even the cool headed ones would be unable to take it, I thought since I managed to keep myself calm even with that realisation, that they would be able too as well but damn!" Emiliano said as they went back to the kitchen and began carrying everyone to their rooms, "I too, thought the same thing...I expected dielli and ai-jun at most to get mad or destroy something or for lielly to be in denial, but I didn't expect for them all to reach such a state..." Ruben said as they carried Ashton and Amara to their rooms, lily just used magic and carried ai-jun up to the attic that was ai-jun's room while Jacob carried luanesha, "yeah! I thought so too! But they all just went and blew up into an entire fuckin existential crisis to the point lielly had a fuckin break down! I mean! It ain't my fuckin fault this shit happened so there wasn't any need her glaring at me like I was a pest before she went and broke the damn table!" Jacob yelled angrily clearly frustrated as they carried everyone else back to their rooms before the four of them sat down in the living room, Jacob looked at lily and sighed, "hey lily...that goddess of creation of your world? How bad or how childish is she?" Jacob asked remembering what Julian said, lily blinked confused on why she was suddenly asked, she thought for a bit before finally answering, "well...she sometimes creates entire floods or earthquakes out of boredom and likes to watch how the people affected try to survive...ahm-...she is known as the goddess of creation and art, but as far as I know, she mostly just created disasters or guides people to become either someone powerful after giving them power and chants and some blessings, and after ruining their lifes as best as she can...or just ruins the life's of someone she takes interest in until she loses interest" lily said thinking out loud, "or at least that's what mavien, the former patron saint of the goddess of creation told me when I meant him during the first holy war...before he went insane because of the over usage of chants of the goddess of creation and the god of war" lily sighed, Jacob gulped as Ruben smiled nervously hearing what lily said, "so in conclusion...she creates and helps only to watch you grasp at sand so she can have fun watching your suffering...a total fucking sadist...perfecto! Simplemente perfecto..." Emiliano huffed, Lily giggled, "I guess? We actually have a saying! Whenever someone is having a bad week or their day is a day where everything could go wrong! We say: 'the goddess of creation must have her eye on me!' or 'it looks like the goddess has taken a liking to me' as well as, 'damm goddess of creation'! Those are our sayings" lily said with a smile, "so...it's that bad and well known...then considering some of our lives were fed to the pigs after we left Greece...I wouldn't be surprised if it was her doing..." Ruben sighed, Emiliano nodded as Jacob dacepalmed, "ya gotta be fucking kidding me! She can't possibly be that big of a bitch can she!?" Jacob said as lily giggled, "I'm afraid she is...sir mavien even once said, that he watched as one of her own creations, the goddess of the moon, scolded her reincarnating a human without warning the other gods...I must say..it's quite funny to have so much power but be weak to scolding" lily said with a smile, "yea..guess yer right bout that...fuckin hell.." Jacob said running a hand through his hair and just getting up, "where you going?" Ruben asked, "to fucking smoke...I am way too stressed righ'now to dealw ith this shit!" Jacob said angrily, Emiliano laughed but got up, with a tired smile, "yeah me too..." He finally said, Ruben sighed, "oh well" Ruben shrugged lily smiled and Ruben and her just stayed behind and began watching tv, lily after a bit got up and went to the fridge and returned with a cup filled with animal blood and a bowl of chips for Ruben, Ruben smiled, "thank you, and how have you been adjusting to this world?" Ruben asked as lily drank the blood from a straw, "I have been doing well.... however the blood's been hard to get used to...i have detected one too many things?" Lily said as she drank the animal blood, "yes...here uh- let's just say...some animals get fed in pleasant things" Ruben chuckled nervously, lily nodded, "aside from that...I like it, it's peaceful and it's kinda fun, it's much better then back home where I constantly had to fight back wild monsters or invaders or people who wanted to capture me" lily said with a smile, "I see...well, I'm glad you have found some peace here, honestly, I always thought this place was chaotic...but after hearing what you said about your world...I think I will rethink my opinion" Ruben chuckled, lily smiled at him, "well, there is always some place much worse then the one your in...or at least that's what I would tell myself to keep myself from falling apart" lily said sadly, Ruben nodded, "mn...well, now you don't have to do that" Ruben said with a bright smiled lily giggled, "I must say...this place sure is fun, you and your siblings are nice to be around, it's always Chaotic but in a good way" lily smiled as she continued drinking the animal blood until there was nothing left, Ruben nodded, "well, we may all be idiots in one sense or another, but that just makes it funner?" Ruben chuckled,lily nodded, "you have superhuman strength but can't even open a jar of jam" lily said with a blank stare, Ruben looked away remembering the Jacob incident in which Jacob couldn't open the jam they had just bought and even when Ashton and Ruben tried to, they still couldn't until Aveline came along and managed to open it much faster and easier then the three of them, "w-we were trying not to crush it!?" Ruben tried to make an excuse, lily giggled, "keep telling yourself that~" lily said as she patted his arm, Ruben looked at her upset and just looked at the tv, and soon the two just watched tv in silence as their conversation finally ended.
