"So you're telling me that the Prince of Ragnis is starting to hear voices telling him to gather a team?" Virgo inquired. We were seating in the kingdom library along with Taurus.
"Yeah" I replied "and then Cancer was saying something about a spirit trying to guide him"
"Huh. Sounds like a book I've read before" Virgo said as he turned another page of the book he was currently reading.
"A book?" Taurus' eyebrows rose "what was it about?"
"Well, I read it years ago so let's see if I remember" he looked deep in thought "It was called 'The Prophecy of the Twelve Guardians', and their lands were being destroyed. One of the characters was sent by a spirit to go search for the others and once they were together, they had to venture to a secret place in order to obtain their powers. It was one of my mother's favourite books"
"Would it be in this library?" Taurus wondered as she gazed at all the bookshelves.
"What are you three discussing?" a familiar voice asked. I looked up to meet my mothers kind eyes. She sat down on the chair next to me with her arm around my shoulder.
"Does the library happen to hold a book called the Prophecy of the Twelve Guardians?" I ask my mother as her eyes widen at the mention of the book.
"Twelve Guardians? Why?"
"Well, apparently Prince Aries is beginning to hear voices and Virgo was saying that the situation was quite similar to that book. So we were wondering if we could have a look at it" Taurus explained. My mother's eyebrows rose, a glimpse of hope swimming in her eyes.
"The Prophecy" my mother stared at all three of us, a smile breaking out on her face. " The Prophecy is coming true. I must tell the other kingdoms. What a miracle this is!"
Me, Taurus and Virgo exchanged puzzled glances with each other.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Everything will be explained once the other kingdoms unite" was all she said before she left the library.

"Aries, why didn't you tell me you were hearing things" the king of Ragnis asked, a look of empathy forming on his face.
"I didn't want to bother you father. You had other things to worry about" Aries said, the circles under his eyes have darkened since the last time we met.
"So the voice keeps on saying to gather a team? Has it mentioned any names or anything else?" The Queen of Coaralin asked.
"Well, a few nights ago it said that I had four down and eight to go. And then just last night it kept on repeating the same names over and over again, saying it would help me with my search" he replied.
"Can you tell us the names that it gave you?"
"Well, it mentioned you three" he said, looking at me, Libra and Cancer. "But it also mentioned Taurus Evergreen, Gemini Zephyr, Leo Tempris- who is a good friend of mine, Virgo Terbius, Scorpio Neptis, Sagittarius Kindra, Aquarius Tumulus and Pisces Rivule"
"I know both Taurus and Virgo, so that's 6 now" I said.
"And I know Pisces, and you said that you were good friends with Leo, so now we have 8". Cancer informed.
"Sagittarius Kindra is the daughter of one of the best hunters I know. So make that 9" Aries Father said.
"So now we just need Gemini Zephyr, Scorpio Neptis and Aquarius Tumulus and then we have everyone"
"I have a question" Libra stated "what do we do once everyone is together?"
"You must journey to a secret place called 'Almor'. Once there, you must defeat the trolls that guard it in order to obtain your powers" my mother explained.
"Powers?"
"Those powers will be given to you in order to defeat Mortis. It will grant you valuable strength. But we must be quick, if the shadows reach Almor before you do, all hope will be lost" she said.
Cancer's Father stood up and glanced at everyone seated at the table.
"We will gather all nine of you tomorrow to continue the search for the others. But for now we must rest, especially you young Aries" he said, and we all parted ways.
