The Scales of Libra [Elemental Zodiac Series ~Book 1]

I am Levander Stevenson. I am 16 years old.

I was adopted. I never want to find out who was my real mother or my father. I, knowing who they are, hurt me so much, like a billion daggers stabbing me in my heart. I never knew why they left; they left me in the orphanage when I was 5. I never had time to process what my parents look like. I wish they hadn’t left me; it hurts to be always alone with no one. To me, the only thing that matters right now is my step mother. Even if I was adopted, I loved her. She was making me happy; she loved me for who I am.

It was a normal day. I was about to walk towards school, suddenly, my eye caught a mysterious man sitting in the bench at the side of the street. I stop for a minute as he looks at me; his grin in his face makes him scarier. He was wearing a black fedora that matches his black coat; his hands were covered with black gloves. It was weird seeing a man wearing full black clothes and the sun shining brightly was shy enough to reflect the light into this weird man. He stands up and walks towards me; his eyes were looking at me viciously.

‘Levander Stevenson’.

He mentioned my name. It was kind of weird that he knew my name. Thoughts build up at my mind as I think of him.

‘Who are you?’

I asked dryly, he was standing in front of me, as he removed his black fedora and looks at me again.

‘I am your father’.

At first, I chuckled in my head; he was just a stranger so why would I believe him? My mind went in circles, as I think of my real father, could this be him? My father who left me in the orphanage a few years ago? My father who left me in the dark all alone? I thinking of my real father hurt me, like always.

‘Levander Stevenson, I am James Maxwell, I am your real father. Remember when we left you in the orphanage? We did that because we love you, and right now, I need to get you, your life is in danger’

I was confused, and there are a lot of things I have to process. I knew that I won’t believe a stranger who I just met in the street. He was so weird, and what does he means by ‘your life is in danger’.

~

Now, I believe.

Now, I knew my father.

Now, I realized my life is in danger.

I am Levander Stevenson.

I am one of the twelve most powerful elemental zodiac heroes. Some people think super heroes aren’t real. Well, look around, your friend might be one, or think deep, maybe you are one of us.

There are hundreds of us, but I am one of the twelve most important.

We all have powers.

But the twelve of us are the most powerful.

Our parents are in danger; my mom is in danger, too.

My father told me everything I had to know and I had to do, before he died.

Our parents are trapped in the sundial clock. Where their life is limited, and only time can tell when they will die, there are twelve of them trapped, twelve of them who has different zodiacs, and when the time come their longitudes be exact, their life will end. Right now, I am in a hurry, I need to find the others. And if I had managed to find them, we need to save the twelve in danger.

I am also in danger, well, all of us.

Our Zodiacs represent us.

Our birthdates differentiate us.

Our elements give us powers.

We are all unique from each other, we are also humans.

But we are different from you.

I was exactly born on the 10thmonth of the 10thday on the 10thhour.

My Zodiac is Libra.

And I have the power of the Libra’s scales.
