A Zodiac Tale

The Enmity

That morning,
Taurus said to Libra, "Finally you got your powers. Now you are free and you can protect yourself very nicely. I loved it that I fulfilled my father's promise so nicely. You just need some practice.". He was very happy. Sagittarius was so (most) happy, "Yay! Now I am free and I don't need you Aries."

Asteria came and took Sagi to the field for practice. She was taught how to fight and defend first of all. She had the ability to destroy and was taught whay to destroy and when to destroy.

Next it was Virgo. She was also taught fighting and defending. All were taught this. She had the ability to heal any wounds and ability to destroy. She was taught almost same as Sagittarius.

Next was Libra. She was taught differently. She had healing and creating abilities. She could heal any wound and could create whatever she want.

Next was Leo. His powers were unique. He could transform himself into a lion. He could emit fire from his mouth. His claws and teeth were very sharp. He also had destructing abilities coz he had fire.
All of them were first taught with common weapons. Now they are asked to choose their weapons which they would like to fight with.

Leo said to his fellow friends, "I already have my teeth and claws why do I need extra weapons?". Then he chose the ninja stars. "Whoa! They look sharp." "Oooh I'll take this.", Sagittarius said. Virgo too liked the stars, "Me too". Libra and Virgo took the katana swords. Sagittarius said, "I want to learn how to use this kusarigama against enemies".

They all got their weapons. Asteria said then, "We know that Leo is the most unique one here." "Yeah", Virgo. Asteria continued, "Libra is also unique here. Her father had prepared a lyre. This is not an ordinary lyre. This can be used to offend or defend your enemies with its sound waves". "Oh that's really unique.", Sagi. "You all have to know when to use the powers and how, so please zodiacs be prepared. Today it is over, we will continue tomorrow." "Thanks Queen.", Leo said. "Thank you Asteria", Virgo said. Everyone thanked her.

When all the four went inside the castle they saw the werewolves were bleeding and couldn't even stand properly. Sagittarius asked running towards Aries, "What happened to you all?". Virgo saw Taurus, "Taurus what happened? No no no you're bleeding so badly. Let me heal you wait." Libra started to heal the other three. Taurus then was telling what happened, "The vampires were teasing us. Aries couldn't bear and started a fight. Lyra aggressively came and then he threw her. Ophiuchus and Scorpio did these things to us. They are really powerful. They defeated us." Libra did not like hearing his name.
Sagi said, "They did these just for what. What do they think of themselves? I am really pissed and want to fight." "We should fight." leo said. Virgo suggested not to fight. "It is not the right time." Libra agreed, "Yeah for now they are very powerful. We need to find their weaknesses first."

"I say that kill them. I can't stand those people.", Capricorn said. Scorpio said, "I say kill everyone brutally but except Libra." "Why?", they questioned. He then said, "I knew you would question but the reason is because if I get her, all the powers will be mine." "Why only yours it should be ours.", Capricorn. Scorpio went to his room angrily. That was not fair for him. He knew that it was him who was supposed to be king. In his way, he collided with Leo. They glared at each other."Can't you see?", leo. "Even I can ask that too to you.", Scorpio. Then he went from there. He was still in his angry mood. Leo felt disgusted.

Taurus, Cancer and all were in their room, all talking. Leo came inside in an angry mood. "You know guys what, we should finish the vampires by killing them."

The next morning, Asteria came and announced, "Please guys build peace among yourselves. A celebration we are going to do. Guests will come over here the next day. So be prepared."
"And what's that celebration for?"
"The celebration is because the other zodiacs got their powers. I will be telling the names of the zodiacs who are going to be the king and queen." She went.
Capricorn said, "I think she will announce Ophiuchus and Libra as the king and queen." Scorpio said, "No Ophiuchus is the vampire king and so Taurus, the wolfking. It could be Libra but we still don't know about the king. I'm sure it is neither Taurus nor Ophiuchus. It will be someone else."

That night Gemini was walking on the corridor and thinking for a plan. She felt like someone was watching her. Suddenly a wooden stake was thrown at her but Cancer saved her. "What was that and why did you save me?" "That's because I'm not like you, neither a bad werewolf nor a vampire." "What do you mean?" "I mean that I will always save people untill I know they are a culprit of something." "You already know my truth" Cancer told nothing and went.

That night Aqua was doing something. Gemini asked, "What are you doing Aqua?" "I'm gaining powers from the moonlight. I will be able to create illusions such as spiders, blood and bigger than that." Gemini just gazed at her with awe and left. She was thinking about Cancer. When she realised she said to herself, "Why am I thinking about him? No I'll not otherwise I will catch feelings. Ohhh!"

Next Cancer in his room looking at the half moon, was also thinking about Gemini. Pisces asked, "What are you thinking, Cancer?"  "Nothing." "Since when you started telling lie, friend?"

Again there Libra was nervous if Asteria announces her name and thinking about Scorpio and feeling hatred for him.

And there Scorpio thinking that what he should do that goes fair to him and acquires what he wants.

Ophiuchus, with Capricorn, Draco and Lyra, planning something for the next morning. It has been many days not drinking blood and they will not look good, so as soon as people enter, they want to drink their blood and also no one getting to know that.

Everyone then finally sleeps.
