The Zodiac War [on hiatus]

[ 3 ]

All six of them continued to gape at the huge and beautiful oak tree called Ariax. It was truly magnificent. Their admiring session was over as a girl with short, brown hair and a red scarf popped in front of them and caught their attention. "Who the hell are you guys?!"

Pisces winced as the girl shouted. "Shhh, please don't shout. My name is Pisces." The girl changed her expression into a confused one and looked up and down at Pisces. "Pisces....what a peculiar name. Where are you from? I'm sure you aren't from here. If you were, I would've already known your name."

The others just at her with wide eyes. The girl frantically waved her hands in front of her face. "No no no no no, I don't mean it in a weird way. I mean I have met and talked to everyone in Ariax, well excluding the Queen and the royal family, but y'know. Oh and I'm Gemini."

Sagittarius smiled warmly at Gemini, remembering her name. "Nice to meet you Gemini. I'm Sagittarius and the guy with the red hair is Aries. The blonde is Leo. The other girl is Cancer and the tall, emo dude is Scorpio." Scorpio glared at Sagi. "I'm not an emo." She just shrugged him off.

Gemini laughed at the two. "Hey. Nice to meet y-" She didn't have time to finish her sentence as a male voice cut her off. "Gemini! Don't go running off like that!" A boy with white hair and a girl with similar hair ran towards Gemini while she rolled her eyes. "Oh don't be silly Libs, I can handle myself."

The boy shook his head. "Honestly, what am I supposed to do with you?" The other girl laughed lightly. "She's not a little girl. Plus, there are a guests here." She motioned her hands towards the fire and water signs. The boy turned to them and smiled sheepishly.

"Hi, sorry for that. I'm Libra." The girl smirked. "But you can call him Libruh." He narrowed his eyes towards the girl just continued smirking. "The name's Aquarius by the way. Feel free to
call me Aqua." She waved to the six who smiled back, well aside from Aries who just stared.

Gemini cleared her voice. "Anyways, you haven't answer my question yet. Where y'all from?" Libra then noticed their attire. "Yeah, your clothes doesn't look like they are from here." Aqua nodded in agreement. "Weird, but I dig it."

Leo laughed. "Thanks and we actually came here to find you three. Now this might sound crazy, but just listen ok?" The air signs raised their eyebrows, but nodded nonetheless. "Ok so basically there's a very evil man called Ophiucus who wants to destroy the world so he can create his own. You following?"

The three nodded. "It is believed that 12 people can stop him, but they are all scattered around the world. Me, Sagi and Aries are from Fireiax, Scorpio, Pisces and Cancer from Wateriar, you three from Ariax and the last ones from Earthia."

The air signs widened their eyes a little, the same though going through each of their minds.

"Our job is to find the last three so we can join our powers and defeat Ophiucus and save the world. If we don't, we lose everything we have right now. You three are one of those 12 people. You have to join together with the us and the others. You have to save the world."

The air signs still had their eyes widened, amazed with all these information.

"So what do you say? You gonna join?" It took them only a millisecond to recover and say yes. This took the others off guard as they were expecting more hesitant answers. The three sensed this and chuckled. "We love adventures regardless of anything. Whether this is true or not, it's still gonna be cool."

Libra shook his head. "I like adventures, but not as much as them. I'm joining cuz I already got used to it, plus I'm a little curious." The two girls smiled cheekily at him, knowing he can't and won't back out even if it kills him. They were the adventure trio.

Leo sighed in relief. "Thank god. I'm tired of trying to persuade you all to agree. I need to relax." Scorpio agreed with him. "Yup, plus, it's dark already. We can go look for the last three tomorrow morning. I wanna sleep."

Gemini grinned at them. "Great! You guys can sleep here. Me, Libs and Aqua live in a house together and we have extra rooms. You guys can stay there for tonight." Aries smiled slightly, thankful for their offer. "Thanks, but will it be enough to fit us all?"

Libra nodded and smile reassuringly. "Of course! Our house is big enough." Aqua smirked. "Yeah and if it isn't, we can kick Libs out." He glared at her, playfully. He knew she was just teasing him. She smiled innocently at him.

Gemini shook her head while laughing. The others just shrugged, knowing they were equally, or even more, weird.

Aries' mouth fell to the ground. From the outside, the house looks really small, but inside, it's as big as a mansion, maybe even bigger. "HOW?! I want to know this power. I want to have it!"

Libra chuckled at his expression. "All the houses here are like this. Did you really think we would live in a cramped house?" Aries just gaped at him. "Can I buy these houses?" Then he turned towards Sagi and Leo. "Why can't we have these in Fireiax?"

Sagi rolled her eyes. "Calm down drama queen. We have equally huge mansions there as well." Aries pouted in annoyance and hmphed. "I still want the ones here." This earned a slap on the head from her.

Scorpio sighed in irritation, tired of the fire signs and just tired in general. "Geez, is there gonna be a time where you guys don't fight?"
Sagi sticked her tongue out at him while Aries just tched and rolled his eyes.

Cancer sighed in exhaustion. "C'mon guys, let's just stop bickering for tonight and get some sleep. We have a big day tomorrow. We have to go to, what was it, Earthia I believe to find the remaining three." Pisces nodded in agreement. "How are we going to sleep? 2 in room or what?"

Gemini thought for a second. "Well, we have enough rooms for each of us, but since we used to for other.....purposes, it's a little messy. So now we have 5 rooms we can use. We can have 4 pairs and 1 sleep alone." Aqua then spoke up. "Who are the pairs?"

Sagittarius sighed and raised her hand. "I'll be a trooper and sleep on my own. Plus, it's not like I have a choice." Libra smiled slightly at her and nodded. "Ok so let's go with Leo and Aries, Gem and Aqua and me and Scorpio." The others agreed with this arrangement.

They all said good night and went into their designated rooms and got ready to sleep. They were almost reached full slumber when Sagittarius shrieked. The others rushed out of their rooms. "WHY THE FRICK IS THERE A BOX OF BUGS UNDER THE BED?"

The other fire signs and the water signs looked confused while the air signs were sweating nervously. "Heh, sorry about that. We'll throw it away. Like we said, we used the rooms for other purposes and there was no more space to keep them in the other rooms."

The others looked at them with wide, almost terrified eyes and Scorpio shuffled a little to the side, away from Libra, who looked at him in disbelief. "Honestly, we just needed those bugs for our indoor garden! Nothing else. We are not creepy like that!"

The other two element signs were skeptical, but eventually went back into their rooms, but not without checking it for anything else. The air signs just sighed in defeat. "We didn't do anything."

Let's just say that that night was very weird. They all managed to sleep, but Scorpio kept scooting away from Libra, who gave up on trying to tell him nothing is wrong.
