Astrogia

Chapter 7

"Do you see anything?"

"No. It's safe now."

"Great. Now what do we do about the crazy guy trying to kill us?"

"I say we kill him before he can kill us."

"How about we go back to Earth?"

"Are you crazy? How do we even get back there?"

"Ok calm down everyone. It's a serious situation and we can't put ourselves at anymore risk but sitting around like this. Does anyone have any suggestions?" Capricorn looked around at the people in the room but everyone was too frazzled to think clearly. "Ok. Nobody. So here's what we're gonna do."

"Hold on who says we have to listen to you? You were always his favorite student so how do we know you're not working with Ophiuchus?" Pisces asked accusingly. "How do I know none of you are working for him?"

"If we start doubting each other now then we'll end up killing each other. Just everybody take a deep breath and calm yourselves. If your situations back on Earth were as bad as mine then that means we've all been through worst. The last thing we want to do is lose faith in the only people we have left." Libra said then close her eyes and took a deep breath trying to calm her mind. "Now think carefully. What can we do to protect ourselves?"

"With the limited knowledge we have now it's best we stay hidden until we know exactly why it is Odion wants us dead. We helped him get back his world so it makes no sense that he wants to kill us." Taurus said.

"Why don't we find more information on exactly who we really are and what our purpose in this world really is. The most we know is that we're the children of gods that use to live in this world. We can use magic strange enough but there's three to each element. We're named after constellations. All of this should mean something." Aquarius scratched his head and sighed when his mind drew a blank.

"The best place to get all of that would be the library."  Cancer said.

"Yeah but who's to say death isn't waiting for us to open the door." Virgo pointed out.

The morale in the room seemed to drop at that statement.

"Before we all lose hope let's think of something new. Maybe we can find the Sagittarius sign and get more help on our side." Gemini said.

"If that was possible don't you think we would've found Sagittarius on Earth. Maybe that sign just doesn't want to be found anyway. Don't blame them anyway. The rest of us are all gonna die eventually." Pisces sighed and moved over to the window. "There's a kid at the door."

"A what?" Practically everyone in the room asked.

"A kid." Pisces opened the door and a child fell on the ground.

"Hey! Warn me next time! Mr! It's you!" The child ran over and engulfed Scorpio in a big hug. "I knew I'd find you again."

All eyes in the room were now on the small girl clinging onto Scorpio tightly.

"Um Scorpio. Who's this?" Aries asked.

"Some brat I helped earlier today. I'm not sure how she found me though." Scorpio held the girl by the back of her shirt and pulled her off of him. "What the hell are you doing here kid? What happened to your mom again?"

"She disappeared again. But I don't want her back I wanna stay with you now. You're nicer than her. My name is Ella by the way sir! What's your name?" Ella smiled brightly at Scorpio.

"I'm sorry sweetie but you can't really stay here with us. It's dangerous. Why don't we try to find your mom?" Libra tried to take her hand but stopped at the glare she received.

Ella glared at Libra and moved far away from her. "I wasn't talking to you. Old hag. Don't you have to find kids to drag to your gingerbread house?" Ella stuck her tongue at Libra and cuddled into Scorpio more.

Snickers sounded around the room and Libra glared at the other people in the room. "Listen here you brat. You can't stay here. Go find someone else to terrorize. And Scorpio shame on you for letting her talk to me like that."

"Why am I being blamed? How was I supposed to know she was gonna say that?" Scorpio sighed. "Listen Ella you really can't stay here. There are scary monsters here who may try to get you."

"No not the monsters! Won't you protect me Mr. Scorpio? Pretty please?" Ella teared up a little.

"I wish I could but the monsters want me too so I have to protect myself. I can't protect both of us. How about this." Scorpio held up a hand and formed a dolphin shape with some water then froze it. "Take this. Anytime you miss me just look at it and remember I'm watching over you."

Ella took the dolphin and smiled at it. She wiped her eyes and gave Scorpio a big hug. "Thank you Mr. Scorpio. But mommy's gone. I wished her away forever this time. Where will I go?"

"Wait what do you mean you wished your mother away?" Leo asked.

Ella looked at Leo and her eyes sparkled. "Oh wow a prince."

Leo raised an eyebrow at her, "Well kid?"

Ella blushed and looked away from him.

"Uh kid?" Leo waved a hand in front of her.

"Oh no you don't you thief. Find your own kid." Scorpio pulled Ella away from Leo.

"Aww she likes you Leo!" Cancer squealed.

"Oh really? That makes this much easier then." Leo smirked and got down to her level. "Hi there Ella. I just had a question for you. What did you mean when you said you wished your mommy away? If you answer me I'll let you be my girlfriend."

"Pedophile." Virgo coughed in his hand.

Ella gasped and jumped into him arms. "If you throw a coin into the wishing fountain then whatever wish you want will come true. If your coin gets removed then the wish is broken. But if you make a forever wish then nothing can break your wish ever."

"Boys and girls. We have a wishing fountain to find." Leo stood up to full height again. "Can you show us where the well is Ella?"

"Of course! Anything for you Prince Charming!" Ella beamed from her perch on his shoulders.

"Hold on what are we gonna do at this fountain? Wish that Ophiuchus and Odion were gone for good? I doubt this fountain has enough power for that." Pisces said.

"We're not wishing for them to disappear. We're wishing for knowledge. And a protection spell for my new girlfriend here." Leo said.

"You know that may be dumb enough to just work. With enough luck we should be able to formulate a plan and actually stand a chance at defeating Ophiuchus and his father." Capricorn smiled. "Let's get to that fountain."

"Not a bad plan. Too bad it won't work." Black eyes stared at the group.

"Ophiuchus!"
