Aquarius: Listen up, if I blow this horn one more time my caravans will start poisoning your army.

Taurus: You're bluffing.

Aquarius: Am I?

Aquarius slowly put to horn to her lips.

Gemini: Ok Ok we'll calm down and listen.

Aquarius: Alright then, Cancer, you have the floor.

Cancer still shocked that Aquarius had the mentality to pull something like that off.

Cancer: Ok, I get that some of you are insulted that we threatened you, but it was the only way to get everyone here.

Taurus: ok, but what is the purpose of bringing us all together?

Cancer: Two reasons, one, because we have somehow alienated eachother and grown apart.

Virgo: Well we are busy in our lives, we can't just abandoned our duties just so we can play together.

Cancer: I understand, but our forefathers created the castle so our kingdoms can unite and prosper together.

Gemini: I don't know about you guys, but my kingdom is doing just fine.

Everyone nodded

Cancer: that brings me to my second reason, you're all lying.

Everyone remained silent and stared at Cancer.

Cancer: No one will confess? Fine I'll go down the list. Taurus.

Taurus: What, I'm doing perfectly fine, my economy and my kingdom is prosperous.

Cancer: Yes but what about your citizens and your massive army.

Taurus was quiet.

Cancer: I know you are having trouble feeding your people.

Taurus: fine, it's true, I don't have the farmers or land to produce enough crops for my people.

Taurus put her head down.

Cancer: does anyone want to confess now?..... No? Fine Gemini, Libra and Capricorn.

All three of them looked at each other in confusion.

Cancer: All three of your kingdoms are suffering the same fate.

Gemini: You know nothing.

Cancer: I may not know a lot but I do know that your kingdoms are slowly dying.

Capricorn: What are you saying?

Cancer: Don't deny it, your people are not reproducing as much as they should.

Libra: That's not a problem.

Cancer: maybe not now but look at Capricorn's army, not single man is below the age of 40.

Capricorn stayed quiet.

Cancer: so is Gemini's, hell I think they're even older.

Libra: alright, you got me, it's just child birth has gotten risky, the people are afraid.

Gemini: We are too focus in our studies to think about starting a family.

Capricorn: All the younger generations has moved out my kingdom.

Before Cancer could continue, the rest of the Zodiacs confessed.

Virgo admitted that her army was slowly dwindling, not that many are enlisting anymore.

Aries, Leo and Sagittarius are running out supplies, because their kingdom borders the barbarian lands and they are constantly at war, and that takes a toll on food, weapons and men.

Cancer and Aquarius food supplies are dropping exponentially. The kingdom of Kanata has had hard time with farming due to their extreme weather. And Svair is draining their supplies with their humanitarian envoys.

Pisces is having a problem with Overpopulation, many citizens are afraid to move and its causing the homeless population to rise and with that so does the crime rate.

Cancer: You see we are all suffering, and I'm pretty sure if we talk with one another we can help eachother whether its men, food or protection.

All the Zodiacs finally agreed on the subject.

Pisces: And I would like to make it clear that I never intended to cut anyone off.

Virgo: Then what about Germania?

Some knew of the situation in Germania and some didn't.

Cancer: That's something I wanted bring up, When was the last time any of us heard from Scorpio?

Everybody looked around the room.

Aquarius: I tried sending aid, but each time I go, the militia there always stops me.

Sagittarius: At least they let you live, each messenger I sent never returned.

Libra: From what my Intel could gather after the King died the General had the queen and any royal member hunted down and killed.

Virgo: Does that mean...

Libra: I don't know, there's a manhunt for everyone maybe some managed to escape.

Leo: I don't want to sound heartless, but how is this our problem?

Cancer: even though as kids, Scorpio would tease us, he always there when needed help.

Aries: Didn't he tell you to grow out your hair?

Cancer: I...I... I don't wanna talk about that.

Pisces: But its true, whenever we were in trouble he was their to back us up, no matter how trivial it was

Cancer: If that's not enough, just think what would happen if the royal family was overthrown. What's going to stop them from coming after us?

Aries: I hate to admit it, but Germania's forces are one of ruthless armies I've ever seen, and I fight barbarians daily.

After a long discussion, everyone decided to sleep on it decide on what to do about Germania tomorrow. Everyone sent their armies back home seeing that there was no reason to have them present.
