In Ancient Greece, a book was discovered among some old ruins. This book contained information and a prophecy concerning the twelve signs of the Zodiac. The prophecy stated that in 2,164 years, twelve unlikely masters of the twelve signs of the Zodiac would rise to deal with an ancient evil that stretched beyond even the beginning of time.
At the beginning of existence, the twelve Zodiac Angels were created.
Aries, the ram, was the trailblazer of the twelve.
The bull, Taurus, was known as the protector, defending all his comrades from harm.
Gemini, the twins, helped the other eleven communicate and was able to create peace many times.
Cancer, the crab, granted compassion not only among the Angels but among humanity as well.
Leo, the lion, was the braver of the twelve and he granted humanity the gift of courage, but with courage sprouts pride.
Virgo, the virgin, gave the Angels and humanity the knowledge, inspiring servants, knights, and soldiers.
Libra, the scales, inspired all to search for peace and wisdom, granting even the greatest minds the ability to grow.
Scorpio, the scorpion, helped all to develop bonds such as friendship and comradery.
Sagittarius, the dreamer, granted us the ability to chase our dreams and was the finest marksman of the twelve.
Aquarius, the water bearer, brought knowledge to the world of man and inspired the sciences.
Pisces, the fish, was the biggest dreamer of the twelve and inspired the arts.
Last, but certainly not least, is Capricorn, the goat, the master planner, and the leader of the twelve Zodiac Angels who led with the traits of all twelve. He inspired leaders like King David and George Washington. These twelve risked their lives at the beginning of the world to destroy an ancient evil known as Aldunis, the Destroyer of Worlds. Thus, they became known as the signs of the Zodiac through time, but twelve unlikely heroes will rise up to stop Aldunis once more as his shadow looms over Earth.
