Astral Log No. 18295, (Atlantia / Pacify) recording...

Our court is a bit weird, being ruled by two entities instead of one. Recall yourselves, have you ever heard of a kingdom ruled by two figures of power at the same time? Not us despite having existed for so long. That's why special rules were imposed onto us, like having to state the author of the logs we enter, or limiting to only one of us allowed in the Terarena during the fight. Heavens, it's hard being twins in the stars. What were Aphros and Bythos thinking?

However, before the penultimate battle of the First Astral Conflict, we never knew we had a blood relation with another constellation, Piscis Austrinus. But if that was so, how had we not known that? We knew of her existence, considering we crossed each other billions of times during the fights, but she never mentioned that connection ever.

During the penultimate battle, Leo sent us and Aquarius to Earth to save some mortals before Ophiuchus' attacks. We landed on the Sentinel Islands and immediately got to work, Aquarius projected a shelter for them to take refuge in, while we twins defended their path. Who knew that there were still tribes left on Earth, especially in the (what mortal astrologists called) Aquarian Age?

Piscis Austrinus: Aphrodite!! Amphitrite!! I finally found you two long-lost daughters!

We turned our heads to the shout as we were in the middle of our evacuation operation. Turned out it was Piscis Austrinus that struck us without any warning.

Atlantia: D-don't call us by those names, Austin.

Piscis Austrinus: It's Piscis Austrinus! Are you making fun of my last name? Or do you two actually have the memory of a goldfish?

Pacify: Goldfish have excellent memory, you know? And who are you to call us your daughters?

Piscis Austrinus: I've been keeping this to myself, as I was off to Egypt right after you were born. I am your mother, Piscis Austrinus! So you don't even have the right to call me by name even though you two are considered "Zodiacs".

Pisces Twins: Did you just make that up?

Piscis Austrinus: How dare yo- Oh... I see, too busy swimming in the glamor that is the Court of "Pai-cees" to study your family history... How rude of you two!!

We seriously stood there for several moments as the mortals continued to evacuate under our protection, our anger boiled up because of her arrogance. Eventually, Pacify broke the silence because she realized that Austri knew our past names.

Pacify: Wait... Amphitrite... That was my name before I became one of Pisces! How did you know??

Piscis Austrinus: You know, Aphros and Bythos aren't your parents, as that lying Delphinus told you in the past. Your father is one of the deities that absolutely no one knew about, even I forgot his name, my gosh! And I am your blood-related mother! Aphros and Bythos only assisted in your birth in ways I also forgot, and Delphinus was the one who brought you up when you were those wimpy goddesses. It's so lamentable that you both don't know the truth!

Her speech was absolutely full of contradictory morals. She blamed us for not studying our family history, but she was just as guilty as to forget our father's name, what Aphros and Bythos did to assist our birth, and how the people related to us toiled just to bring us up. All of that on top of being extremely arrogant!

Atlantia: There is a more polite way to talk, Austri. Besides, even if you are our mother, you have no right over a Zodiac.

Piscis Austrinus: No right over a Zodiac, you say? Who do the Zodiacs think they are?! Ruling a period of time itself while being extremely ignorant about the rest of the constellations because they sit on the top of the cosmic hierarchy right under Mother Asteria and Allfather! And now they set out to save mortal humans and right their wrongs??
