This is a contest entry for ONC 2023 :)
The prompt chosen is #79 You are the attendant to one of the Zodiacs...
I have borrowed heavily from many cultures and mythologies for this story. A lot of inspiration came from eastern zodiac mythology, having lived in China, I have always been fascinated with the culture. That being said this is a work of fiction. I have taken a lot of artistic license with the mythos of Chinese culture as well as many others. Please bear that in mind as you read :) Any cultural references borrowed are offered in a spirit of respect and honor. Again this is a work of fiction. I have not stuck with all of the traditional Zodiac counterparts and have turned them ALL into mythological creatures.
Whew! Now that all of that is out of the way, I hope you guys enjoy this story as much as I have! Happy reading!
