Starlit Path

Tokyo, population 37.8 million: the starlit capital city of Japan, combining age old temples; with ultramodern skyscrapers. The city is famous throughout the world for its: delicious food and trendy fashion scenes. Japan was truly like everything they write about, in one of those holiday brochures. If you chose to overlook all the: physical and sexual assaults, drug overdoses, thefts of purses; wallets, cash and of course the high suicide rates. When I looked at it like that, I had to ask myself: was Tokyo really any different, from any other city in the world? It was corrupt, every city had their ups, and most definitely their downs; but what was so enchanting about Tokyo, that almost all of their issues were often overlooked? It had to be more than just the cities majestic charm.

Something told me the answer to that was written in the stars. My name is Pisces, up until now I have only been known as a constellation; a group of stars forming a pattern that is associated with some mythological figure in history. Yes that's right I'm a Zodiac, or as Cygnus would like to call me a fish headed star. Honestly, if this story was mine alone: I'd erase the presence of that good for nothing bird brain of a boy. However you see this story isn't just about me: it's a story of the galaxy and how we came to be more than just star signs. Now I know you're probably questioning what this all has to do with Japan, then please allow me to explain; before I can do that I'll need to take a trip down memory lane. Starting at the very beginning of this tale, In the middle of the galaxy: Bionis Academy, for the brightest of stars.
