The air seed to vibrate with an ancient energy, humming with a power beyond comprehension.
My surroundings dissolved into a swirling vortex of colors and lights, and I was transported to a place that defied all logic and reason.
I found myself suspended in the cosmos, weightless and free. The stars, once re pinpricks of light in the night sky, now burned with an intensity that was both beautiful and terrifying.
All around , the celestial bodies had taken on a life of their own.
And then, I saw them—the Constellations—in all their majestic glory.
The one who said my na was Aries, so they were the first I observed. They had the form of a Ram, having golden and white fleece that shimred in the starlight. Their horns glead like polished bronze, and their eyes seed like priceless amber gems.
'T-that is… Edward's Constellation!'
The feeling of awe did not vanish as the other Constellations began to greet my sight one after the other, drowning a seemingly endless pool of magnificence.
'A-ahh…' My eyes widened as I witnessed an imposing being whose na I knew almost as soon as I saw them.
Taurus, appearing in the form of a Bull, felt so imnse and powerful that I felt my being tremble. Their eyes were blazing with an inner fire that could light up the darkest of nights, and they pawed at the cosmic ground with massive hooves, sending sparks of stardust flying.
I didn't have ti to dwell on them when another Constellation's glory filled up.
Gemini—looking like conjoined Twins—was essentially two ethereal figures locked in an eternal embrace, their forms constantly shifting and rging.
Their laughter echoed through the cosmos like a celestial lody, and I felt a tinge of embarassnt for so reason.
Cancer looked like a Crab, but nothing like anything I had ever seen before. Their shell was adorned with iridescent pearls that glead with an otherworldly luster. Even though their body was mostly black in color, the glimrs of gems that decorated their exoskeleton made them irresistably glorious.
"Haha… to think you'd co this far. I wonder what look Kuzon must have on his face right now."
I recognized the voice instantly!
It was the first sound I heard when I first arrived in this realm. The one with so much authority that made my entire body unable to stop shaking.
Leo, appearing like a Lion, had a majestic and regal form. Their long mane was composed of burning stars that radiated warmth and strength. They gazed down upon with glowing crimson eyes filled with what I could only chalk up as amusent.
'He's Kuzon's Constellation. That's so… overwhelming…'
"Stop teasing him. He's my Host's lover, you know?" I heard a sweet-sounding tone course through my ears, causing to instantly look in the direction of the voice.
Partly because I was curious, and partly because I was confused, I raised my brow while staring at the entity before .
'Eh?'
Did she just say her Host was my lover? How?
This was the Constellation Virgo, dressed as a pure and beautiful Maiden. She stood with an aura of purity and grace, her presence imbued with an innate sense of order and perfection. She held a magnifiscent shot staff in one hand, and she was smiling warmly at .
"Maria still doesn't know, but I'm her benefactor."
My eyes widened and my jaws nearly loosened as I heard the news. It was unbelievable, but why would a Constellation lie to .
I had to simply swallow it as the truth.
Viro's smile felt so warm, and she was so beautiful that I had to look away from her monts after staring due to how embarassed I was.
My gaze turned to the next Constellation, who was right beside her.
It was Libra, who had the weirdest form out of everyone I had seen thus far.
They looked like so an amalgamation of a glorious Fairy, thanks to their wings and shimring form, and a six-arm creature. They had a pair of Scales, hanging on their shoulders in perfect balance. The scales seed to be a part of their body, and they also had six hands—two folded, two on their waist, and two balancing the scales.
The scales swung gently as they looked at curiously, but I swiftly removed my eyes from them before things got too awkward.
The next one my eyes t wad Scorpio. They had the form of a Scorpion, and they weren't really paying much mind to , but rather, the one beside them. With a graceful, deadly beauty, their tail poised to strike, they had eyes glowed with a fierce intensity, a reminder of the power they possessed.
Unlike Cancer, who was pure black, Scorpio was gleaming white… like milk.
The one whom Scorpio was speaking to was staring directly at as they were having their conversation.
They were Sagittarius, and they had the form of an Archer. Theor bow was right behind them, and they seed to have eyes all over their body. Each eye shone like diamonds, and its face… surprisingly had no eye at all.
It was just a blank mask that was well-docarated with a helt.
"Hey, kid, don't mind those two. One is a talkative, and the other is a prude."
The voice that spoke to was as gentle as it was soothing. I looked in the direction and found the one known as Capricorn.
They had the form of a Sea-Goat, an odd mix, in my opinion.
Their body was adorned with glistening scales and they had majestic horns rose so high, like tall twin trees.
They smiled at , and I smiled back. For so reason, those simple words from Capricorn cald .
"There's a lot we're curious about. So why don't we start with that?" A voice behind caused to look, and what I saw was… a fish?
Well, not just an ordinary fish.
Pisces looked like a giant fish made of a glass-like substance. And the odd thing about their nearly transparent form was that within them were nurous fishes who swam gracefully through the astral waters, their scales shimring with the colors of the universe.
The way the fishes swam within the much larger fish felt reminiscent to the flow of life itself..
'But they're right. I shouldn't get too distracted by all of these…' My thoughts slowly retune to the matter at hand.
I realized that thus far I had only seen 11 of the 12. There was still one more that I was yet to see.
My eyes scoured the Constellations that surrounded in a circle, and I found the one whom I hadn't yet feasted my eyes on.
'Aquarius…?'
They were made of a liquid substance that resembled water, and within them were shells, pearls, and other shimring items without end.
It felt like I was looking at the universe itself from outside it.
Sohow, rely looking at this body of water in a humanoid form, ever-flowing and changing, I felt a boundless energy from within.
I could see no end to Aquarius. Just a seemingly infinite layer of depth.
As I gazed upon these celestial beings, I felt a profound sense of wonder and awe. These were living embodints of the forces that shaped our world and the mysteries of the entire tree.
I had to choose my first words to them wisely.
"Where have you all been? Worlds are getting destroyed because of Legris Damien, yet you all do nothing!"
I was surprised by the words I uttered, almost to the point of apologizing, but I continued anyway.
"Why are you not doing anything?!"
