The 13th Zodiac

When the world was born, the 12 constellations of the Zodiac came to life, and created the known world. The world was designed by each of the constellations based on what they wanted to view. Aries loved the mountains. Scorpio the deserts, Virgo the underground, Aquarius the water, Taurus, Grasslands, and more.

From each of the domains, the Zodiac created the beasts that dwell within. Pisces created all types of fishes, Sagittarius introduced bows and arrows, Libra created the knowledge about the balance of good and evil.

More and more, the world slowly formed to become a place of magic, people could pray to the gods for special blessings, they could wield magic based on the twelve zodiacs. Orcs, Elves, Dwarves, Beastkin, demons, and Humans, as well as an assortment of others species plague the land, as the sins start to tear them apart. The wars between each species sows discontent and hatred.

As the world finally forms and no land left to claim, the 13th zodiac awakens. Ophiuchus, the snake bearer, a man and a women, two forms intertwined and left to wander the world as they are late to the party.

Ophiuchus's POV

We awoke from our slumber, the stars brighten and dimmed as it imploded, exposing us to the outside world. We crawled out of the shell of the old star, looking upon the domain of the other 12. We did not know who possessed these domains, all we know is that there are twelve of them, all intertwined with the ability to interact with each other.

Falling down to the world below we enter the nearest of the domains, a mountain world. "Aries" came to our mind as we descended. We do not know why it just did. The world below was green and grey all around. We turned to each other but neither of us had any comments to make

A person appeared in front of us and with a loud "Yahoo" a girl with ram horns, sun-glasses, a leather jacket, and ripped jeans. "New people, same aura as me, yet I don't recognize you" the girl smiled

"We are the 13th Zodiac, the snake bearer Ophiuchus, Are you the one called Aries?"

"Another zodiac huh?, Whats your domain?" Aries ignored the previous question.

"We do not own a domain, Are you the one called Aries?"

"So that would explain why I haven't felt a new domain, So what are you then?"

"We are godly beings just as you, born of the same origin, birthed at different times. Are you the one called Aries?"

"Now that all that is aside, I guess I should introduce myself, hehe. I am the one called Aries, I am of the Fire Council, My domain is home to the thrill of adventuring, may it be climbing up a dangerous mountain down to exploring the mysteries of the caves. My stone is Diamond, My symbol is Ram. 3rd Seat of the year council, I welcome you to my home."

We remained silent, the ground quickly approaching throughout the duration of our conversation with Aries. The area underneath us grew to include smooth-surfaced mountains, glistening as a waterfall dropped water onto the stone.

If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

Aries gave us a childish grin and skated across the surface of the mountain, doing jumps, spins, loops and other assortment of tricks, she whooped loudly and out of sheer joy.

As for us, we landed and skid down without a hitch. Aries joining us shortly, a look of ecstasy on her face, cheeks flushed and with her sunglasses crooked, the part of the eyes that we could see seemed to glisten brightly.

"That was so much fun, Lets do it again" Aries smiled but we bowed and spoke "Not necessary, since you show us the courtesy of introducing us into your home, we shall introduce ourselves as well.

We are Ophiuchus, the snake bearer, 13th Zodiac and seat of no council, We hold the 13th seat as our position in the yearly council has not yet established itself. We know of no stone. Our symbol is Man and Snake, we do not possess a domain, but we represent danger, a warning to those who wish to reveal the godly secrets."

"So a forewarning. Though let me tell you, that in the face of disaster, we Ariesians view it as a challenge, to face danger head on is like our second companion, the question for you is, will my domain be destroyed in the process?"

"We do not know."

"Will my people and my creations be forever lost, their existence wiped from the memories of old"

"We do not know."

"Will my celestial body, the power that allows me to be me, will it be gone, will I be wiped from existence altogether?"

"We do not know, all we know is that there will be danger, it is best to be prepared..... for the worst to happen."

"Then I will leave you now that I know that a disaster is coming. Knowing my people, they will just prepare for combat, as running is not their style" Aries laughs and we show no emotions to her remark.

"Then be gone, we shall wonder, searching for a reason for our existence is our utmost priority."

Aries gives us a salute, a grin, and a puff of smoke, she disappeared in the distance the shouts of joy from the girl could be heard.

We separated from each other, A snake slithered out of the man and curled around him.

"Uchusssss, why are our mindsssss, blank but we know ssssssso much of thessssse ansssssswers." the snake hissed.

"Ophi, every being is born, created and destroyed for a reason. We will just have to find out what it is" the man said to the snake.

"Then we sssssshall ssssssee where thisssssss path of ourssssss takes ussssss." Ophi said and she slithered back into Uchus.

"Then we shall wander this world and find our purpose" we both said and started to walk forward.
