The Zodiac.(water signs)

Athousand years ago, there was a king who ruled this entire universe,  he was know for his braveness, smartness , he was called the great king Alarik, he believed that every person had his own gifts and abilities according to there month of birth just like how each month has different weather seasons, so he decided to set up the team of wise men called "The seal, and put it under control to find out the different gifts and abilities of different people born in each month,  They started with the king himself who was born in the month of November and they found out he had characteristics like , he was smart, brave , vengeful,  he had a very strong mind that he could sense what you think.  The king was pleased to know that he was smart so he decided to give The seal , a big mansion where they could make their investigation and live their to create their families,  "Am so delighted that you were able to find my abilities so i therefore give you the main masion for you to live in and create families that will continue the job of finding the abilities ", The seal team led by Radien ,one of the kings favorite men were happy and delighted so they promised the king to find out more about every month.

After two years , the seal had fully studied and completed all the months of the year , they came to the palace to give the king the report, the report stated "there are twelve months in the year, but after studying and analyzing so much , we found out that some months have relatively the same abilities so we categorized them into four" , before they completed the king ordered the maids to give them some fruits , Radien continued to read the report, "The Earth sign including the virgo(born Between the end of September and August,  the Taurus (born Between the  end April and may, the Capricorn (born Between the end of December and January) , another sign is the fire sign including,  Aries born btwn the end of march and April, Leo (born Between the end of july and August,  Sagittarius (born Between the end of November and December), the third is the Air sign including Libra(born Between the end of September and October) ,Aquarius(born Between the end of January and February), Gemini(born Between the end of may and june), Lastly is the Water Signs considered to be the strongest of all , they include , pisces , (born Between the end of February and march) , the scorpio (born Between the end of October and November) ,the cancers (born Between the end of june and july).

The king was confused and asked why they had categorized them into such away and one of the wisest men replied,  "we understand your majesty that it is confusing but we decided to do like that because people born in some months have almost the same abilities , they differ a little bit , so when we sat down we saw that instead of categorizing them in 12 months , it could be easier if we made them into four groups that you could understand "

The king smiled and saw that indeed they were wise men , he asked why the water signs were considered to be stronger than the other , Raiden replied, "the water signs including the scorpio,  the cancer and pisces are considered to be strong because they have an ability to read minds though they do it differently according to their birth month," King Alarik was pleased to hear that he was under the water signs too, he decided to gift them gold so that they could be rich.

The following morning the king called an assembly and ordered Radien to divide people into the four signs he mentioned , they couldn't divide them into twelve because it could be a waste of time , so they divided them into Earth, fire, water, and air as they had categorized , the king later annouced that they will start living like that because of their differences in abilities,  the people were not pleased at all because they could get separated from their families,  they tried to make chaos and refuse the King's order but the king announced that anyone who disobeyed his order was to be killed infront of his own children and family, they were left with no option but to agree, king Alarik gave each sign a big territory and masion to live in and provided them with treasures such as gold , silver , copper and so many others and he gave The seal authority to monitor each sign .The seal were not assigned to any sign , so inorder for them to grow , they had to marry wives so that they could bare more kids for their future generation.

The king was standing while looking through the window, a very beautiful young lady came in , "hello my love" said the king, king Alarik had married a beautiful wife named Queen Hannah , she had beautiful eyes with blue eyelids, she had brown hair that made her more specific from others , she was known for her beauty in the entire palace thats why the king choose her as her first lady, "was it necessary ,did you think about those people's families before coming up with this silly ideal of yours because you were bored" said Queen Hannah, the king turned around and replied, "as they say that even a strongest lion becomes weak when its in love , so i approve it now, am the most strong , many people are scared of you but my love Hannah speaks how she wants because she knows i can't kill her" , he walked towards Queen Hannah , held her face with energy and said ,"am a great king , don't tell me how to rule my kingdom,  just because i love you doesn't mean yoy will always have a soft place in my heart my queen"  He then pushed her to the bed and started undressing her forcefully to make love .

In the morning, Queen Hannah was seated infront of the mirror,  the maiden was trying to do her hair and saw that she had bruises around her neck ,she asked, "did The king do it again," Queen Hannah noded her head with sadness and replied yes, the maiden replied, "its okay , but you are a strong woman because you are the only woman who dares to be near that scary king everyone is afraid of " ,Queen Hannah smiled , the maiden replied, "should i tie your hair in the same style with a this blue butterfly hair pin " , ,queen Hannah noded her head and said yes, the maiden asked her why she liked that one style and the blue hair pin and she replied that it made her look unique,  confident and beautiful ,the maiden was a young woman almost the same age as the queen named Avaanah ,  she had spent most of her time taking care of the queen since she was brought to the palace in others words , she was like a  friend to the queen .

The king called Raiden in the palace because he wanted to know which sign was his wife queen Hannah,  Radien asked for the birth month and date of queen Hannah and he was told that the queen was born on 12th july ,he looked into the book they had written every information of every sign , the book was named the Zodiac"ohh we are so blessed that our kingdom has a scorpio king and a cancer queen,  she is under the water sign", at first the king was happy but he asked what were the abilities of a cancer , then Radien looked into the book  replied, "the cancers are known for being very emotional,they have the best love and when they love you , it can be their weakness or strength  , they are protective about their familes , when it comes to hurting their family they can sacrifice their life to save them, they have a very good sense of intuition that they can read both emotions and thoughts of a person,  and one thing that makes them unique from other water signs is that they have the power of manipulation,  they can manipulate you to do anything they want you to do", the king asked again, "of the two signs , the scorpio and the cancer , who is more powerful" , This was a very hard question for Raiden because he didn't want to annoy the king by saying his sign was the weakest or queen Hannah's sign was the weakest because they all knew how much the king loved his wife, he decided to reply ,"i have no specific judgment on that my king, but they are all water signs so i think they almost have the same abilities,  the only difference they have is that the scorpio are smart but can't manipulate, but they can tell when they are being manipulated," the king told Radien to leave , he was not pleased about the fact that his queen was a water sign , he wanted her to be one of the other signs because this made him feel like he could be completing for power.

The king called Raiden again and asked him if it was good to have a cancer has her queen ,Radien replied, "yes my king , the relationship between these water signs especially the scorpio and the cancer is known to be very powerful because both the scorpio and the cancer  were gifted with the ability to lead , they make a very powerful team together thats why the water signs are the strongest" the king requested Raiden to never tell his wife about her sign and to hide the zodiac book far away from where she could reach it , the king said these because he was afraid that if his wife knew about her abilities he could try to manipulate her since she didn't even like the ideal of grouping people into signs, Radien agreed to keep the book as a secret and not to tell anyone that the queen was also a water sign. But unfortunately queen Hannah's maiden Avaana had everything while she was trying to enter to bring the box of jewelry to the king to select for his wife, she ran quickly so that she couldn't get caught, she ran to her room and closed the door in shock. The king aked Raiden,  "if i want to give birth to a scorpio child who could be a good leader like me , which month am i supposed to sleep with my queen" , Radien replied that it was supposed to be the month of February or end of January. 

That night Radien decided to bury the zodiac book, this book wasn't just a book but it showed how every sign could use their abilities , it showed the weakness and strength of every sign,  it showed every detail about each month. He burried the book behind their house in the mansion of The seal. Unfortunately one of the seal members named Jesen who followed him saw everything,  he was left wandering why Raiden was burrying the book. Jesen was at one time envious of Raiden because even though they did the work together,  but the king only noticed Raiden.

The following morning Avaanah was combing Queen Hannah's hair, a little cute girl came in , Queen Hannah smiled when she saw her , "come here baby girl , did you have breakfast" asks Hannah,  the girl replied ,"yes , Alarik told me to come play in your room" ,  "hey , Delilah thats the king , wht do you always call him by his name"says Hannah  , Delilah is a 12year old girl and a sister to queen Hannah,  she is treasured alot by the queen because she is her only family" Delilah replies, "He doesn't get mad when i call him that and besides that he doesn't deserve my king from me because he is a rude one,i prefer soft kings", Avaanah and Hannah laughed, she held a comb and started to comb her hair too, Avaanah told her to sit down on the bedroom and help her comb her hair nicely. Hannah picked up her butterfly hair pin and put in her hair ,"can you make my hair with the same style as my sister please",Delilah asked Avaanah, Hannah smiled and promised to make her one matching hair pin as hers if they bought the jewelry in the palace.

Jesen called some of the seal members secretly who he knew were eager to have power like Raiden , they four of them, "what is the reason why we are gathered here,who called us" asked Adrian.

Adrian was appointed as Raiden's assistant by the king, he was next in power after Raiden in the seal ,group of the wise men.  Jesen entered and replied, "i called all of you, i have something important to say to you that will benefit all of us especially you Adrian". Adrian turned around to look at Jesen, he then asked why Jesen mentioned his name, Jesen told them to have a sit , "you all know we did the research together but we were not given access to the Zodiac book,  do any of you here know what exactly is inside the book," they looked at each other , and finally realized that only Raiden knew what was written in the book. "But i don't think its that important because we know what we researched" says Adrian. Jesen replied, "No we dont know ,i want you all to remember that our only part was to discover the differences between people born in every month but it was Raiden who went to the WITCH to get more detailed information,  but when he returned he never told us what the witch told him , he only told us that what we researched was confirmed true", they all looked at each other again, they noded themselves agreeing to what Jesen said, Jesen continued, "something special about that book is that it was written by the witch himself and i guess it carries a very important message because i saw Raiden burrying it last night" ,they were all shocked and wondered why Raiden could bury the book, "what if we find out what Raiden is hiding , i think we have the right to know because we are also on the seal membership board. Adrian agreed because despite being Raiden's assistant,  he too didn't know what was in the book, they all decided to go at night and dig the book to find out what was written there.

In the morning,  "Avaa, can you please come help me untie this dress" , Avannah came quickly to help the queen , "why do you always cut my name short" asked Avaanah,  the queen smiled and replied, "Because me and you are like family now, you taught me the culture of the palace,and its you who is always near me" Avaanah was happy to hear that the queen appreciated her work, she replied while looking in the mirror , "i love your blue eye lids my queen" , The queen smiled, Delilah came in holding an old bear and a comb , "let me hold Aria for you" says the queen , Aria was the name Delilah gave to her doll, since they were no kids in the palace,  She used to play with her doll everyday so that she doesn't get bored. She handed the doll to the queen and told her to comb well her so that she doesn't cry. "Delilah this is just a doll , why are you treating it like a person" asked Hannah,  Delilah replied "maybe she might have been a person in her past life , if not she may be a very beautiful girl in her another life" , Avaanah and the queen laughed wandering why was Delilah talking about past lives when she is young, she replied saying that she had met a certain lady outside the palace when they had gone to collect oranges.

"Do you think we should do this without Raiden's consent" asked Adrian "Jayson, Jayson was Adrian's young brother and he was the youngest among them.

Adrian looked at his brother and told him not to worry that they only needed to see what was in the book. Jayson thought of telling Raiden because he always saw him as a great man and he wanted to be like him oneday , but he decided not to tell him because he loved his brother more.

In the afternoon,  the queen and Delilah decided to go outside to collect some oranges and mangoes, "why are you collecting those green ones, the yellow ones are the sweetest" says Delilah,  Avaanah smiled and asked her how she knew they were sweeter and she replied "i always escape and come to get some but every time i come i find only the green ones when all the yellow ones have been taken , Dont tell Alarik that i escape , he will get mad" queen Hannah and Avaanah laughed at Delilah,  suddenly Hannah started to feel dizzy , she accidentally dropped the mangoes and fainted, Avaanah was shocked seeing the queen down , Delilah dropped the mangoes and ran to her sister,  Avaanah shouted, "guards help"

The guards came running quickly to help carry the queen back to the palace.  The king was informed about what had happened to the queen,  he quickly ordered them to call the doctor.

When the doctor came, he analyzed Hannah's conditions and confirmed that she was okay but she was pregnant.  The king was shocked to hear this , because he wanted his wife to give birth in the month of November just to get a son who is born under the same sign as him. Hannah was happy to hear that she was pregnant,  she ordered Avaanah to go invite the king in her bedroom,  but when Avaanah told the king , the king didn't come because this wasn't good news to him. Hannah was disappointed.

In the night, Adrian,  Jesen and the others went where Raiden had burried the book, they dug and removed the book, but when they opened the book , they found out that the book was blank, Jesen couldn't believe what he was seeing,  "why isn't there anything , only blank pages" aked Adrian. The most surprising thing is that Jayson could see what was written inside, "why do you say its blank, i see words and they are written in a blue color" , they all turned and looked at Jayson ,"are you sure you can see the words" , Jayson thought they were lying that they didn't see the words , he laughed out of joke, but he looked at them and saw that they were being serious, he replied "ohh no this can't be, why don't you guys see whats written in here." Jesen replied,  "thats not the case , tell us what you see in the book" , They handed the book to Jayson,  he opened the first page and he started to read "Only those with pure souls can read what is inside me ,only those who don't hold jealous,  hatred, betrayal , greed , and anger can see me , only those who could discover the power they possess and how to use it in a pure way can read me" , Adrian and Jesen looked at each other , this is when they knew they didn't have pure hearts , this made Adrian more angry , he held the book with anger from Jayson,  but suddenly the book started to burn his hands, he quickly dropped it down to stop the burning.  when Jesen saw this , he said, "i think this book was made by a very powerful witch and he put some spells on it, i think it can sense when you don't have pure intentions" , they told Jayson to pick it up from the ground to read more, he opened the second page , "the second page consists of all signs and their abilities " says Jayson,  he opened the third page, but it was blank, "i can't see anything," he continued to open the other pages , but he saw nothing,  the pages were blank, Jesen and Adrian were confused , they suddenly had people coming and they decided to bury the box back were the book was ,and went with the book inside.

The king had called for Raiden,  "My wife is pregnant, this isn't the month i wanted her to give birth,  Raiden replied while bowing his head,  thats good news my king," the king replied,  "i wanted my child to be born under the same month as mine , id there anything we could do to make it happen " , Raiden replied,  "i believe every month is special with different abilities my king " , the king shouted out of anger and said, "find a solution to this Raiden".

While they were still talking,  the maids informed the king that the queen was coming in, Raiden bow to give respect to the queen and he went outside.

   Jesen and Adrian were are not happy wandering how Raiden was able to read the book, "when we went to the king to tell him the results,  Raiden was holding the same book and reading from it, does it mean he has a pure soul"says Jesen , Adrian was not happy with this , he was the kind of person who envied Raiden since they were children, surprisingly Raiden's mother was a servant who worked for Adrian and Jayson's mother, she was a loyal servant, who died when Raiden was 5years old ,therefore in a way of appreciating his mother for being a good servant,  Adrian's mother decided to raise Raiden as her own child,  these three Adrian,  Jayson and Raiden grow up together in one household as brothers though Adrian as always envied Raiden since childhood because he always accomplished even the hardest tasks despite being younger than him. "We need to get a way on how to read the book" says Adrian. They decided to start tailing Raiden everywhere because they believed maybe he knew another way they could read the book.

At night Raiden covered himself with a black large coat , he was holding a large sword that had a silver colour on it,it was raining heavily, Adrian and Jesen had been awake to monitor his whereabouts, they started to follow him slowly,  Raiden turned around to see if any one was following him , but he saw no one, he walked towards the gate, "how is he going to get out when that old man with magic is not around" says Jesen.  The seal gates were made with magic and only the old man who was in his 80's named Jack could open it , this was because the seal masion was full of wise men that knew the both the kingdom's and the king's secret , no one had access to get out unless he was permitted by Jack. Jack had supernatural powers that were gifted to him by the witch to protect the wise men.  Surprisingly,  Raiden raised his sword and the gate opened , he didn't touch it , "Did you see that , did he also get magic from the witch" asks Adrian,  these two were shocked because according to the law, no one from the seal group was supposed to have powers because the king believed that they were already wise and if they had powers they could be a threat to the palace. "Hurry before the gate closes we need to see were he is going" says Adrian.  They ran quickly before the gate closed back, they hid behind the tree outside the gate , Raiden turned around like he had some foot steps , but he didn't see anyone because it was dark and the rain itself was making sound to clearly hear.

He continued his journey and these two kept following him,  he reached at the cliff, this was the longest and most feared cliff around the palace because people believed that it was haunted by dark souls. "What is he doing here, let me hope he is not trying to kill himself before we know how to read the book" says Adrian,  they hide behind a big rock so that they could see him clearly,  Raiden raises the sword, blue light comes from it, suddenly a very beautiful young lady dressed in a long green dress filled with diamonds appears infront of him.  She was is covered in light , Adrian and Jesen are scared, "what do you think is happening,  how did he do that?" Asks Jesen,  Adrian smiled and when Jesen asked him why he was smiling,  he said ,"if i get that kind of power i can rule this entire world" 

"Why did you calk for me" asks the strange woman,  "i have never seen you in a woman form , but you look stunning" says Raiden,  the woman turned around and replied, "Be quick, what did the king say this time" ,Raiden walked towards the woman and replied, "the queen is pregnant,  but he wanted to have a son born in the same month as him, but if we count from now , the queen will be giving birth in may , the king needs a solution "  All these were being said but Adrian and Jesen were hearing.  The woman pulled out a tiny stick, she rotated it and suddenly a small brown bag appeared,  "take this and give it to the queen, put it in her tea for 6days , each day she takes the tea extends the pregnancy for a month, it will delay the pregnancy but she doesnt need to know because it will be difficult for her to take it" , She handled over the bag to Raiden, "i smell other two souls, did you come with anyone, ohh and another thing , if the queen gives birth to a baby girl , immediately kill her because she will be the biggest threat to the kingdom" says the womam, she then jumps off the cliff , Raiden turns around to look if anyone had followed him, but Adrian and Jesen had laid down behind the rock ,so he was not able to see them. He decided to return back, "what was that that we just saw, i was rightwhen i told you Raiden is favoured by the king and now he has sone specialpowers" says Jesen,  Adrian replied, "We need to find a way of opening the book because i think the secret is in the book"

The following morning Raiden took the brown bag to the king and he told him what the woman had said, "let me hope it doesn't have any bad effect to my queen " asks the king , Raiden replied saying that it was safe.

Jayson was tied in a dark room , with his mouth closed , the door opens, Adrian and Jesen come in, they had brought food for him, they removed the cloth from his mouth, "for how long am i going to stay here brother"asks Jason,  Adrian replies, "until when you are able to read the rest of the book and tell us whats inside" replies his brother , Jesen says,"we don't even trust you, you could go tell Raiden that we have the book" , they then go out and close the door again.  Jayson looks at the food they had bought for him, surprisingly he lifted the bowl of food without touching it, he opened the book that they had left infront of him so that he finds ways of reading it , he opened it without touching it , he was able to read each and everything in the book but the question should be why did he tell Adrian and Jesen that he can't read the book?

The king calls Avaanah, "today i want to be incharge of my wife's breakfast its been long since i visted her chambers, tell her to get ready" says Alarik,  Avaanah bows to give respect to the king ,"yes your majesty " ,she then turns back to go tell the queen.

The queen was sitting infront of the mirror while touching her belly ,"i know you are going to be a good child", Avaanah knocks the door,"can i come in my queen" , Hannah replies, "i told you that you are forbidden from asking permission Avaa, it makes me mad" , Avaanah opens the door and enters ,"we might be friends  but you are still the queen, the king could like to see you and have breakfast with you" says Avaa. The queen asked,"did he say that" , Avaanah replied, "yes my queen" , the queen turned around and looked at her and said ,"i like being called my queen but it doesn't sound fun when its coming from you Avaa, here get i got you your favorite dress in your favorite colour, it looks exactly like the dress the king bought for me" , she picks the green dress filled with diamonds,and gives it to Avaa.

"This is to much my queen , i do appreciate but i can't take it"replies Avaanah,  "can't you just drop the honorifics , you and me are friends , i told you i nolonger see you as my servant,  so we have matching dresses you have the green one i have the blue one , its a command take the dress Avaa", Avaanah bows to respect the queen and then she suddenly laughs, and quickly hugs the queen, "i was joking,  so you thought i could say no to this beautiful dress," Hannah hugged her back and replied, "happy birthday Avaa", 

Avaanah took a few steps back and said, "wait , i could i forgot it was my birthday,  i get it now , you are the problem because am so busy taking care of you my queen, i forgot myself " they both start to laugh, they connection between the two had exceeded more than a queen and her servant,  after spending so much time together,  they understood each other and they had became friends,  suddenly a loud voice says ,"the king is coming" Avaanah panics,  she carries the dress the queen gave her , she bows to give respect to the king then gets out, the king enters while carrying the breakfast for his queen himself,  "my king why did you bring me breakfast yourself" asks Hannah,  "because i came to congratulate with you for our baby , i have been busy lately with the soldiers so i didn't come when i got the news that you are carrying my son" , the queen stands up and says, "you are too confident that its a son , why my king?"

The king puts the breakfast down on the table,  tells the servants to leave,  he carries his wife and puts her on the chair and says,"Because i believe my queen will give me a good son who will be a good king", he lifts a cup of tea and gives Hannah,  Hannah lifts the cup of tea and starts to drink. "Finish the tea my queen, from today i will be incharge of my queen's breakfast" says the king, Hannah smiles and drinks

the tea till she finishes it, the king made sure that the queen finishes the tea,  Delilah opens the door, she sees the king and her sister,she says ,"well Alarik what are you doing in my sister's chambers , i want to play with her" , the king stands up and replies,  "Delilah you are brave, the entire palace and kingdom,  nobody dares to call me by my name but you always do," , Delilah looks at the king and replies,  "but you don't look scary to me , you are just some man with a disgusting personality", Hannah calls "Delilah, thats not good , you are talking to the king", the king replies,  "No its okay, i too find it fun , so Delilah tell me how is my personality disgusting", Delilah replies, "well if we were close friends i could tell you but we are not," the king laughs and replies, "what can i do so i can be your friend" , Delilah replies, "let me see, ohh tell your servants to bring me yellow oranges and mangoes in my room everyday " , The king laughed and said ,"deal, Delilah so i will come back so you tell me about my personality" the king then leaves.

Adrian and Jesen open the room were they had looked, Jayson, they find him seated, "did you find the way of reading the book" asks Adrian,  he replies , "No i can't read it , did you guys come to get me out , am tired of this dark room" , they both laugh at him, Adrian gets a big black cloth, he carries the book and puts it in the cloth though it burns him, they carry the cloth in which the book is and close the door again,  Jayson is left wandering were they are taking the book.

They walk towards the gate and find Jack dozing, "hey were are you guys going , i didn't get any message from Raiden that you will be getting out" asks jack. Soon Raiden sees the two standing on the gate, he comes closer to see them ,"hey Adrian its been days since i last saw Jayson, is he sick" , Adrian and Jesen are shocked, they look at each other and then Jesen replies, "yea he is a bit sick," Raiden sees Adrian carrying a black cloth and asks,"whats that you are carrying and were are you guys going , They look at each other again,  Jesen replies again, " this is just a small box , we were trying to go get herbal medicine for Jayson," ,Radien looked at them and he replied,  "ohh why didn't you tell me earlier, Jack if its about saving a life of our member let them go, but come back early", Adrian and Jesen felt relieved,  jack got a small stick from his pocket and raised it, the gate opened itself,  they got out and the gate closed itself again, when they reached outside, Adrian breathed heavily and asked Jesen "how did you come up with all those lies" , Jensen laughed and replied,"lets hurry before it gets dark",these two were taking the book but were exactly were they taking the Zodiac.
