Horoscope part Nine

“Cancer..” A voice whispered. I looked around. I was now in the middle of a blank white room. A woman with long dark hair and dark eyes wearing a long white Greek gown sat at the other side of a long table. I walked forward, looking around. My body was different, yet I was still me. Was it my transformation? No. there were no claws on my hand. I looked up at the woman, who was now smiling at me gently. “Who are you?” I asked. She stood up and walked towards me.“I am Hera… in a way your true mother.” She whispered. I stared at her as she held my face in her hands. I felt like a little child staring at this beautiful woman. There was a coughing noise in the corner. Hera looked up at him and glared.“Well, good evening Izak.” She growled as a man stepped forward. He was thin, but somewhat built. His deep blue eyes looked piercing and frightening, yet gentle as dark hair hung in front of his face. His body was clothed in an outfit that looked as though it were from the late 1800s. Hera sighed as she let go of me.“Cancer, this is Izak. The old Cancer spirit.” She stated. He made a noise, showing his iritance.“I’m not that old.” He hissed. Hera sighed, turning back to me.“That is beside the point. Cancer, you have to make sure that you stay in the light. No matter what Izak says, listen to me, okay?” She asked. I nodded. Izak sighed and muttered something, but I couldn’t comprehend it. I tuned back into what Hera was saying to me.“When you wake up, I want you to call Markus and tell him that you saw me, got it?” She asked. I nodded.“Okay, but what does this mean?” I asked. Hera shook her head.“Markus can explain that to you.” She said. I sighed.“Can you at least tell me why I’m this Cancer thing?” I asked. She looked at Izak and then back to me and nodded, holding my hand gently.“You see, My husband Zeus is actually a horrible person. As long as he is in power and happy, he doesn’t care what happens down here. So he created the original horoscope warriors to enforce his existence among the humans. Although all of the separate spirits have their own reasons for doing what they do, whether Zeus has someone dear to them on ransom or anything like that, they obey. In anger of my husband, I created you and the others to defend the human’s free will against him.” She explained. I nodded.“I understand now.” I said gently. Hera smiled calmly.“Now, Cancer, you need to wake up and help your friends.” She said gently. I looked over at Izak who just stared out into space. I sighed, closing my eyes. Suddenly my eyes opened in the real world. Skylar sat on my chest in his human form, a stick near my face. I stared up into his amber eyes as he stared back into mine. I simply held out one hand.“I wont ask questions if you get me my phone and never do that again.” I stated. Skylar nodded, handing me my phone. I quickly texted Markus.“Hey. I just had a dream about Hera… she told me to tell you. What does this mean?” I sat there momentarily until my phone vibrated again. Skylar leapt up, then relaxed, reading one of my manga books. I read the text, my eyes widening. That was impossible…“It means that you’re the leader”
