The Zodiac Kingdom

Prologue

The goddess hung her head in shame, her power was useless against the chains that she was being held up with.

Scars were everywhere, and not self inflicted for a ritual. Some were old, and some were just from a few hours ago, while some were from a blade, and others were from different weapons not involving steel.

Her breath hitched as she looked out a darkened cell window, blocked months ago. A few salty tears welled up in her eyes as she wished that she could see what was happening.

She knew very well what was happening, but it pained her that she could not defend herself.

War was among her followers, and her captor's followers.

It pained her to know that blood was being spilled for her, as she was more about balance and peace rather than war and bloodshed, and her captor.

It hurt her every time one of her followers was hurt or killed in a brutal way, but there was nothing she could do.

She was powerless, chained to a wall with her dress stained with dirt and dried blood and ripped in multiple areas.

But she had to keep going, as a vow she made to herself when she realized she was tricked by her captor.

"I swear, even if it takes me to the end of time, I will get out of her and restore order. I will get my revenge Scorpio, even if it I tap into the forbidden power, or I will never earn my title again."

Pisces sighed, looking out of the window from her lecture, bored.

Heir to the Leo kingdom, successor of the great and mighty Aries, and she wished she wasn't.

Everyone was devoted to the god, Leo, everyone except her.

She never felt that devotion to anyone, and wished that she could. All she wanted to do was fit in, and she tried everything, but nothing worked.

Her lecture was about a war that happened between the three gods; Leo, Scorpio, and Sagittarius, over a thousand years ago.

She felt as if too many details were missing, but that was unavoidable.

She wasn't content with it, so it made her incredibly bored.

Suddenly, the castle shook, sending books to the floor and causing glass items to be fragmented across the smooth, marble floor. Pisces let a gasp loose, before composing herself and calmly walking to the safety room, no matter how panicked she felt.

As she was walking, she heard something that sounded like someone was in a fight. Immediatly changing her initial plan, she quickly hurried towards the direction to break up whatever commotion was going on.

When she arrived, she screamed and passed out from the sight.

Did you miss me?

It was written in blood.
