The Life of the Zodiacs

It Starts

The 12 signs opened their eyes for a gray roof , gray walls, gray everything. Aries is already screaming at the top of his lungs, Aquarius could give two more shits and a fuck about it, Pisces and Taurus were checking if everyone was hurt while blushing when they were actually three meters away from each other, Capricorn had her eyes closed and hands clasped together, lying still in the cold floor. The others were just drowsy from the experience of, well, being there.

"How am I going to tell them" thought Capricorn while glaring at Taurus when he touched her. She couldn't just sit there and explain her family why they were here, explain that they had to start over, explain that they could never go back. She would be lucky if no one asked, but as always, Aquarius had to be a pain the ass.

"When are we going back?" all eyes turned to their 'leader', or so they called her, while she got up and dusted her pants. She had to. Capricorn looked everyone dead in the eye and just shook her head. All the signs stopped their actions to look at Capricorn

"Not for a long while, that's for sure. Désolé." the tension was so thick you could cut it with a knife. Capricorn inclined her head to the right, avoiding a punch from Aries that broke the spot on the wall it landed. She already could feel the power throughout her veins 'At least we have a memory from home' she chuckled from the idea

''Why not?'' Aries spoke in a dark quiet voice that would had made a elephant fall on the ground, his soul get up from it and fall again. But Capricorn was different, she was one of the best soldiers, Aries was her right hand, he had respect for her, but wouldn't tolerate her mistakes "Why can't we go home? Answer me!" his shout was followed by a punch, and another, and another, and so on until Sagittarius put a hand on his shoulder with a small smile on his face.

"Let her talk, okay?" suggested Sagittarius. Aries slowly let his fist fall, sighing loudly before glaring at Capricorn.

"The reason we are all here will be kept in secret by order of the King himself. We're not going back home, as I said, for a very long time. During this period, we'll have to learn to live among mortals and keep our secret hidden, however, our powers will stay with us. Before we were send here, the King gave us a house for every continent in the world, money lasting lifetimes and all we will need to survive in this place. Jobs included."

Every sign groaned at the world 'jobs'. No one wanted human jobs, they were exhausting. A ghost of a smile appeared on Capricorn features. Her family was there and, for her, that's all that mattered.

"Don't worry, you can pick the jobs of your own, whichever you want, as long as it's safe" spoke Capricorn at least. They would be safe, she prosimed that to herself centuries ago.

"Alright then, if those are the King's orders, I'll respect. Raise your hand if you are with me" each and every signs rose their hand in the air after Virgo's tiny speech, some excited, some reluctant, but they did. Aries and Capricorn crossed looks. They were the ones who understood more about humanity, they knew it wouldn't be easy, but they would try, and both of them knew others would too.

"Whatever, you dobes" spoke Aries as he lifted his hand on the air, a smile reaching his face, along with Capricorn.

All of them smiled to each others. Scorpio's eyes were fix in Capricorn's longing eyes. Gemini was beaming along with Leo. Aries hand reached Sagittarius shoulder and shook it softly. Aquarius shook his head and glimpsed at Libra. Taurus smiled and softly high fived Pisces. Cancer flipped his fabulous hair along with Virgo. They were ready, or so they thought.
