The Zodiac Kingdom

4

By the time a week had rolled around, all 3 gods and thier respective rulers sat at a table in a space in between where mortals lived and where angels lived. All of them not saying anything creating an awkward silence in the space.

It was like this for a few more minutes before Aries took the initiative to start the meeting.

"You all know why we were called her today," He spoke with confidence, "I don't think there is anyone uninformed of this situation. Why don't we start with what happened in our respective kingdoms." He was met with silent agreement from everyone, "I'll go first."

One by one, all the stories were told by the rulers. The gods themselves kept quiet, almost too quiet had it not been for the occasional nod or grunt acknowledging the accounts.

As soon as all of the accounts were relayed, Aries stood up again. "I'll be the one in charge of this battle, seeing as I was attacked first. Now to discuss-"

"Hold it, Aries," Capricorn glared daggers at him, "You aren't really fit to be a leader. I personally think that I am a better general than you. I know more about this enemy that you haven't even seen."

"I agree and disagree with you on that," Virgo said, "While it is true that Aries isn't really fit to lead, you aren't a prime candidate for it either. I am the best a strategic planning, so it natural should go to me."

Chaos ensued the space, with both rulers and gods fighting over this issue.

"I am the best-"

"Shut it! You couldn't lead if your life depended on it!"

"Neither can you!"

"My ruler is far more suited than yours!"

"No he isn't. It's obviously mine!"

"SHUT IT! NONE OF US ARE FIT TO LEAD IF WE KEEP GOING AT EACH OTHER LIKE THIS!" Sagittarius yelled at the other 5 in the room.

There was silence for a moment, and then two, then three. Another passed before one of the six spoke up.

"Don't say that," Scorpio looked down, his eyes shadowed over, "You aren't her; you will never be her. Quit trying to take her place. You can't make her come back."

"I am not trying to be her," Sagittarius sighed, "I will never be her, but if you try to forget her, you'll never respect what she gave up for us."

"Don't you dare lecture me about that!" Scorpio glared at him, "You think I can erase the image of her? Every time I look at a vase, every time I go to get a drink, even when I look at the people, it's all her. She won't leave. I don't want her to leave. This is what I deserve."

The space fell silent again, and it wasn't until a silent agreement between the rulers that one of them asked.

"Who is she?" Virgo asked, "We feel as if she's important to this conversation."

The gods looked at each other before collectively agreeing to tell them. They looked away from each other after that unanimous vote was decided.

"Alright," Leo said, "But you have to swear never to tell a soul about this. The female can upset history and everything would fall into further chaos, understood?"

They all nodded.

Sagittarius sighed, "You may want to sit down, this may take a while."

This started millions of years ago, before the great war between the three gods. There was a goddess by the name of Aquarius. She was the youngest out of all of the three gods, but still the one to hold the ethereal family together.
