Introduction
Why? We have blessed you all with so much glory, power and resource. Why have you betrayed us? The god's themselves, giving you all that you would need with only one responsibility; watch over and care for your followers. But instead, you let them die, kill each other and submit to their sins. Where were you when they cried and plead for help? Where were you when they slaughtered each other one by one until they were nothing but a bloody pile? Well, we know where you were. You were out and about. Strutting like you were children. You should all be ashamed. You gave in to your desires of power, greed and lust and created an unbalanced environment for those who depended on you. Children. That is what you all are. And that is what you will forever be. However, balance can be restored, but not now. Not for a long long time. Your stories end here, for now. When the time comes, you shall return and we hope that you do better than before.
Within the early years of the kingdom of Skiya, the gods that oversaw it created twelve royals destined to act as the people's guiders. They were each created different but the same and had knowledge of the others among them. Their job's were simple; use their power to help their followers. Without guidance, they would surely be lost. In the beginning, everything was fine. The twelve creations formed a council and named themselves Starry Zodiac's. A good idea at the time, but surely their downfall. They began to rebel and fight for who shouldn't have the supreme power. They began to lose tides and give into their inner hatred. They were beyond saving. Sin had taken over them and they stood no chance against it. No one was safe.

After thousands of years, the gods finally feel as though the Zodiac's should have a second chance at life. They reincarnated them with twelve Skiya children who would on day encounter each other again. They all posses their past memories, abilities and power. However, given their now half human bodies, they have much to learn and adapt to. With the young Zodiac's now attending The Starry Sky Academy, will the gods' wish come true or will it just become another deadly massacre.

The Story So Far... Write a Post » as written by 8 authors
Another day, another year ahead of her. Yoko was looking forward to her first day at the academy in Skiya. She had heard good things from it and now that she was a 3rd year, maybe she would get some respect. Well, she already had a lot of respect but she could always use more. The 4'7" girl hopped out of her bed and stretched ready to get herself dressed and preped for the day.
She could already smell the food coming from down the stairs. Her mother worked from home while her father was out the house most of the day. She was use to it by now. She opened her closet and pulled out a lovely sky blue dress. Quite fitting for the first day, but if anyone got the wrong idea, she'd pound them. She placed her hair into two flowing tails and began to put on a bit of make up. She had often had dreams about the gods telling her about what was destined for not only her but the rest like her. She knew they would be there today. She didn't live too far from it, so she was able to move her things into her new dorm room.
Since her birth, the gods had always spoke to her, just like the others. They foretold the stories of her past lives. All in detail. She was conflicted, angry and saddened. Was this what the previous zodiac was like. She promised them that she wouldn't allow failure ever again. She was a woman of her word. If she would encounter the zodiacs today, she would surely give them a piece of her mind; nice or angry.
She hurried down the stairs and kissed her mothers cheek before eating with her. Her parents didn't know what she was capable of. She was quite well and keeping it secret too. Once she finished up, she grabbed her bag and began to head out the door. She took this time to be by herself and practice her lightning. She could see the light sparks forming in her hands. It was beautiful. Almost like a dream. She still couldn't believe that she was capable of such a thing. She hummed and began to stroll down the path to the academy. She could already see some students in the courtyard. She found a nice bench to sit at and sighed slightly. "Well, first day better be filled with good impressions."
Katsu lay under the covers of her bed just a lump under the covers. She had been awake for over an hour, awoken by another nightmare of that terrible night.
Screaming....
Blood....
So much crying.
A woman holding a child ran by.
How could you?!
You're killing us!
Killing...
Katsu shot out of bed, throwing the sheets away. Shaky deep breaths racked her body and slouched.
The guilt never went away. Never stopped. It tore Katsu apart and the only thing keeping her together was the idea of Skyia. Maybe there she'd get....something. Not revenge, just....justice.
Sighing she stood and shuffled towards her clothes. She had decided long ago that a shower wasn't worth it. Putting on a plane gray button up and jeans Katsu grabbed her bag and made her way down the hall. Her brother was already awake and waved as he entered his own room.
In the kitchen there sat a plate of food with a note. Katsu picked it up with dread in her heart.
Kat. Gone to the store. Sorry I can't be there when you leave. -♡Mom
Eyebrows wrinkling Katsu tossed the note and scrapped the food away. She didn't feel like eating today.
Her mom didn't know about her past life and Katsu would have it stay that way. She didn't want her to know about what she did.
Yelling a final goodbye to her brother Katsu left the house and began to slow trek to the Academy. What she'd find there, she really had no idea.
Gerard knew nothing of the others, other than the vague, haunting memories. "Cancer, they called me." He recalled the horrors of his confrontation with Capricorn, he shuddered. He could not imagine swallowing mother person, then again he deserved to die. He killed Libra, for no reason. Speaking Of Libra Gerard was dying to meet her, he had always felt strongly for her. He was deep in thought now as he had been last night, as a result he hardly got any sleep. He rose, being a senior he would only be in the academy for a year but he would take advantage of it fully. While he didn't really plan to have a plan to make friends he did want a sparring partner. Gerard had trained most of his life, his parents thought he simply wanted to defend himself, not that he was the reincarnation of Cancer.
A gentle knock on his door shook him out of his thought cloud. "Gerard honey, you'll be late for class if you don't hurry up." He smiled softly opening the door. "Okay mom, I'm ready." He walked out grabbing his bag and a case holding his spears. He hugged his mom, grabbed his lunch and made his way out the door. "I love you son." He nodded, he loved her as well she did her best for a single mother and he appreciated it all. He walked out on his way to school.
It took him an hour to get there on foot but he didn't care he rather walk than drive at the moment so he could work out his thoughts and worries. He played with his fingers turning them to steel and back again several times until he lost his breath. It was hard for him to change so rapidly but he used these quiet times to exercise his ability. It wasn't long before he reached his school, "Early guess I'll just hang about."
He got his schedule and decided to head straight for his home room. Upon arriving he noticed he wasn't alone and slunk into a desk in the back corner. He looked out the window, and saw her sitting on a bench. He suddenly stood and walked outside. Particularly bold on his part he walked up to her. "Uh hey, I'm Gerard. Mind if I sit?"

I'm a lovable asshole.
The winds whirled around two figures, a knife glistened in one of their hands. The moon behind them was full, and it held a bloody-crimson glow, foreboding the horror to come. The two figures seemed to be arguing, the one wielding a blade had backed the other against a wall. The one with deadly intent in his red glowing eyes shouted.
"Love me like I love you! I'd destroy anything, I'd murder nations for you! Why. . . Why don't you love me?"
He hunched over sobbing a bit. Then he jerked back up, swaying and stumbling a bit as he did, then he stared at her, his eyes full of a terrifying light. He sauntered towards her, like a broken machine doll on a loop. Step, shake, step. The woman shook her head, tears running down her face silently.
"You're mad. I could never." She cut herself off and looked away. This enraged the man, he charged her, screaming and stabbing, over and over. Showing no mercy at all as he stabbed, cutting flesh, mutilating as he did. Blood stained the earth and even the red moon seemed white. Dropping the knife and looking down, the man fell to his knees, clutching the woman in his arms, shaking and moving her hair with trembling hands.
"Why. . . Wh-what am I?"
Eisaku opened his eyes screaming and clawing at his face and eyes. Crying, he wiped his eyes and clutched his sleeping bag as he swung his legs over the side of his hammock. Today's the day, stiff upper lip. Then with a nod, Eisaku grabbed his hoodie, put on his skinny jeans and Converse and headed out of the apartment.
He had always felt different. He knew what he was. He was a Zodiac, Capricorn. Murderer. A man's voice in his head echoed over and over. Murderer. Shaking his head and crying again as he rubbed his eyes with the large cuffs of his hoodie he tried desperately to tune it out. Then as he walked he thought to himself, would the others today know? Would they hate him right off the bat? Maybe they wouldn't know who he was. Oh shit! What if they asked for your sign or something weird? I'm so fucked.
Eisaku walked slowly around the bend and boarded the bus to take him to Starry Sky Academy. Sounded like a pain, a pain for him. People he didn't know. People who would judge him, people who would hate him. He knew he wasn't any good. He had considered suicide on many occasions, however the thought of a woman always stopped him. That and his own voice, was it his? Inside him. A scary, raspy, version of his voice that dared him to submit to his dark desires.
Eisaku wasn't ready to give into that just yet.
*
Eisaku stepped off the bus and saw the Academy. He gasped a bit and stood on his tiptoes to get a look. With a whistle he smirked, don't let them know you're dying inside. Don't let them know you hurt. Don't let them know you cry yourself through the day. Don't let them see your flaws. Don't let them see you. He stepped into his homeroom, sat down in the back, and he repeated his mantra over and over again.
Terrified and excited all at once.
As she did every so often, Miki retraced the whole scenario in detail. A painful remainder that nothing would ever be the same and that nobody was to blame but herself. Indeed, there was nothing she could do but to be an spectator at the sickening bloodbath taking place before her. Loud screams in agony echoed and a wicked laughter emanated from her own body. "Kill them, kill them all!" Yuuki urged viciously, demanding more blood until there was none left.
Almost as if it were a sick twisted joke by the gods themselves, she had been gifted the power to control other's minds. Although her power indeed proved to be more than useful in more than one occasion, when she was being possessed by Yuuki, it almost seemed like a joke of bad taste. Of course, possessed is the closest word she can conjure up whenever Yuuki takes over because anything else would be far more frightening. Unable to have control of her own mind, Miki often finds herself being completely overpowered by her inner demon, one of the many names she has given Yuuki. As the vicious being that she is, she always forces Miki to witness every vile act of hers wanting for her to lose what remains of her sanity. The cruel reality was that Yuuki was becoming more and more powerful by the minute, and it was only a matter of time before she would completely take over.
Miki was deep in thought when her alarm went off, causing her to shake her head in surprise. "Keep it together" she said out loud, scolding herself. After a few more minutes she finally got out of bed and began getting ready for the new school year. This would be her second year at the academy as she had entered the school during her freshmen year. The thought gave her at least some sort of comfort in knowing she would not be a new student. After all, the less attention she drew for herself the better. Miki had been careful enough to maintain a low profile, so much that many of her classmates had hardly learned her name. It made her feel lonely from time to time but she had also learned to enjoy being alone, so much that at times she convinced herself it was for the best.
Finally, she grabbed her backpack and her bento box before heading out. Without having anyone to bid farewell to, having lived by her own ever since she could remember, she left her apartment. Miki then headed towards the bus station following yet another morning routine of hers. Although she had initially contemplated moving into the dormitories they had at the academy, risking another person's life by constantly exposing them to Yuuki was not a thought she could bare.
As usual she rode the bus quietly putting her headphones on, never really playing any music, and simply using them to make a statement that she did not wish to speak with anyone.
It's difficult to convince your parents that you're a devout member of a certain faith when you were brought up by voices that disprove that very faith. But, much like the others, Apis had to wear a mask of a certain degree in front of them, because to leave them ignorant was to protect them. Every morning his parents would go over the Sunni Islam creed with him, including reciting pieces from the six pillars of Iman, and each morning Apis would nod along and recite with them even though he knew there was no one, true God.
In fact, there were several.
They were the ones that created him, along with the others.
They were the ones that forced their creations into a council.
They were the ones that stood idly by as their creations descended on each other.
They were the ones who shamed their creations, ignoring their own lack of control.
Apis was certain in his belief that if the Gods had actually provided them direction, instead of leaving them with a responsibility and their own devices, that the need to retire the council for several thousand years and them grant them life again for a 'second chance' wasn't a necessary one. But regardless, the past was the past. They all did wrong by each other or by their followers. Apis himself had been tricked into selling his own people into slavery, but he had a long time to forgive and forget. And he had done just that. There was no use for age-old grudges, especially not in this new life. But he refused to be fooled again.
He would have to be wary, naturally, as he always had been wary, but this time he would have to keep a close eye on the others. Regardless of his trust being hard to earn, when it was earned, it was very much so worth it. There's no denying the value of his allegiance. A fierce determination and powerful control of self are often sought after in an individual. If he had his way, he'd be able to ally with all of the others, but that is one thing he doesn't have faith in. There are always some cogs in the machine that just don't turn the way you'd like them to.
After the routine with his parents, the three of them embraced and Apis set out for the academy, idly raising a hand to tug at the bit of hair that fell in front of his face. This was a habit he did often as he became lost in thought, one that had carried over from his previous life. Perhaps some of the others would be keen to pick up on it. He almost hoped so. It's nice to feel remembered. At least, it is for the good things.
He took the bus, and so it seemed, so did some of the others. Not that he was aware of it at the time, but still, he would later suppose that it was some sort of cosmic irony. Perhaps even intentional. Regardless, he didn't interact with anybody for the ride, and he didn't interact with anybody else after the ride, not even the two he saw by a particular bench, which he would later come to realize were another pair of Zodiacs. Funny how that works out sometimes. The thing is, however.
He probably wouldn't have spoken to any of them even if he had known.

_____FLASHBACK
Softly, ever so softly do words pour out of her mouth and with them her heart. She's bleeding, but a feeling of being numb makes the pain seem to mean nothing. "Truly do I deserve a punishment far worse than this." she thought as her body started to sink. From her point of view the moon was barely visible beyond the ripples of the water, and it was then that she realized the gravity of her situation. And yet she didn't yell or struggle for it was too late, but rather closed her eyes and let the ocean embrace her."Perhaps in another lifetime I could undo my mistakes."

"It's your turn," a voice said softly all the while trying to shove his body though the door "I believe in you," and with that the girl shut the door and and ran away while praying for her poor brother. For it is a known fact in the Chonis family that Arianna was not a light sleeper, nor was she particularly pleasant when woken up, and during the times when her phone alarm didn't do the trick it was up to the siblings to move the unmovable force. Now, it wasn't that she was angry during the morning, no rather she was calm, but the look she gave those who disturbed her is something which gave them all nightmares.
So while looking away the older brother pushed the sleeping girl's shoulder lightly and said in a hushed tone, "Aria, it's time to wake up." and then made a beeline to the exit but was stopped by the light rustling of blankets. The senior girl sat up in her bed with a head full of hair that could compare to a bird's nest and said in the most monotone voice known, "What hour should it be that the sun has risen so far up?", but her question was never answered as the door shut loudly behind her brother.
With a sigh she stepped out of her bed onto the cold hardwood flooring and wondered why when anyone asked anything of her they ran. Was she really so terrible that the sound of her voice repelled even her blood? But instead of trying to question their rather rude behavior she walked herself to the shared bathroom and brushed her hair as to make it presentable, and as always she wore it with two buns on the top of her head just as she had done it during her first year. It was a habit and one that died hard.
Aria checked the lock on her phone and saw she was running late by a few minutes and so opted to skip her usual breakfast for a granola bar and juice found in the fridge. As always she could eat in the bus.
And that was exactly as she did, but having to run the last little bit made her appetite go away even if for a second. Quickly she found a seat at the front of the bus not really paying any attention to other riders, and tried to open the packaging to her food without too much noise. Her effort was in vain though as crumbs fell into her lap after she tore the side off. Not carelessly though she brushed the food off her and put the granola bar on a napkin she had forgotten about until a moment ago when she was panicking internally.
It was already the start of a wonderful day.
_____SCHOOL
As the bus rolled to a stop Arianna grabbed her backpack and quickly darted off the bus and into the school, but not before saying the usual, "Thank you," to the driver to which he smiled and replied you're welcome. But as soon as her foot touched the ground her voice swelled as if someone was suffocating her, and everyone around her didn't seem to care or notice. Aria reached out in front of her but the sight of the school in front of her vanished and was then replaced with a memory she knew was her's but didn't remember.
Faces were vague, but distinctly she could remember their voices. How clear and full of hatred they were. "What do the God's call you by?" she wanted to ask, but as soon as her torment began it ended only to leave her in a state of confusion. "They called you the Maiden of the Sea my dear Pieces."
She wanted to say that their answer wasn't answering her question, but the five minute bell warned her to hurry to her homeroom class, and so walking at a fast pace she did. And as she came to her first period she noticed the lack of a seating chart and opted to sit in the middle where she could blend in seamlessly.
"With time all will become clear."
Softly, ever so softly do words pour out of her mouth and with them her heart. She's bleeding, but a feeling of being numb makes the pain seem to mean nothing. "Truly do I deserve a punishment far worse than this." she thought as her body started to sink. From her point of view the moon was barely visible beyond the ripples of the water, and it was then that she realized the gravity of her situation. And yet she didn't yell or struggle for it was too late, but rather closed her eyes and let the ocean embrace her."Perhaps in another lifetime I could undo my mistakes."

Despite the nightmare, the memory, Toru's eyes opened gently. He had grown used to it and learned to overcome the terrors. Also every time he did jolt awake, Cocoa would be flung off the bed, which lead to much hatred from him. Of course as soon as Toru shifted under the covers, Cocoa let out his annoying call for food, making it so Toru had to get up even if he had an extra twenty minutes to nap. "Yes I get it buddy. I'm up." His voice was groggy as it always was in the mornings.
Being without parents at home, Toru had to be rather independent, doing everything for himself in the mornings. As if his mother ever did anything anyway. After feeding Cocoa he started up a pot of coffee on the new machine he purchased yesterday. Toru was rather lucky, for his job gave hefty paychecks. He was his own boss, and he had made quite a name for himself over the internet. Computer coding was rather difficult work and not many people were as perfect at the job as he was. Not to mention how low is prices were compared to others. It really worked out as it didn't matter how low his prices were, he definitely made more than the people with higher ones.
Whilst enjoying a hot cup of joe, Toru searched his closet for some appropriate attire. Settling for a plain purple tee and jeans, he set down his mug, took his clothes to the restroom and hopped in the shower. He showered every day, not because he needed to, but any moment he could get in the water was bliss to him. Once done with his shower he changed, brushed his teeth, and completed other arduous tasks to get ready. He returned to the kitchen where he could have some grub and make a lunch for his first day. He could go off campus with his car if he so chose, but he had a lot of groceries he had to power through.
Toru grabbed his backpack and looked around for Cocoa to say goodbye. The cat strolled over and meowed cutely as if it was his way of saying 'farewell, have a good day at school.' Toru smiled as he picked up the little feline and kissed his head. With that he head out to the apartment complex parking lot and found his GT. Yes a ridiculous car for a teenager to have. Because Toru decided he wasn't attending college, he put all his college savings from his grandparents, plus way too many paychecks, towards the beauty. He truly loved cars.
Once he began driving Toru turned on the radio. Eventually he found a station playing some EDM and left it there. His taste in music fit him rather well. At one point he passed the school bus, as he tended to due to the fact he went over the speed limit frequently. Still he has yet to receive a ticket. Just his luck. In his head he debated whether he should continue with his routine, which was leave a copy of himself in class while he worked in the computer lab. It was odd but no one seemed to notice. All the teachers and students assumed he was just a quiet guy who had no reason to answer questions or do work for that matter. Finally he decided against it as it was indeed his last year and he should try to make some friends before he loses the chance to.
After arriving to school, he parked his car in the most secluded section of the school parking lot. He had five minutes or so to make it to homeroom on time, so he rushed over. Even after three years already attending this school, he had zero friends. He didn't even recognize anyone at school still. Since it was his last year, he figured he would take some time to get to know everyone, mostly because he had nothing better to do. Looking around the classroom, Toru truly recognized no one. But one particular face caught his eye. It was a girl. A girl he felt he knew instantly as he looked at her. He was unaware of who she was, but she was absolutely gorgeous. She sat in the middle of the class and so did he now. He chose the seat to the left of her, but he failed to say anything as it was beyond his power. So he just sat there in his desk, tapping his fingers, taking quick little glances at her every time she looked away.

So he just sat there in his desk, tapping his fingers, taking quick little glances at her every time she looked away.
Yoko began to go through her phone and wonder. She hadn't met her roommate yet but through their messages she could tell they would be great friends. She wondered if she even had classes with her. She smiled slightly before noticing someone walking towards her. She raised her head from her dim screen and glared slightly. Oddly enough she felt she had met this person before.
"Um... Sure?" She said while rubbing her neck. "I mean, it's not my bench and all." She then looked at the time and quickly shot up. "Actually I need to get to class so. Goodbye." She said while walking away. She wondered why that guy seemed familiar. It was almost as if she had met him before.
She sighed and walked down the hall observing the people as usual. Man this school was so crowded all of the time. It was annoying and kind of exciting at the same time. She didn't have many friends nor did she intend on making a million of them. Many of them follow her on various social medias so I guess that counts to some standard.
Once she approached her first class, she opened the door and smiled to a few people before going to a seat and siting down. Now all she had to do was survive the first day without someone getting on her nerves and everything would be peachy. Hopefully.
Enjoying the quiet walk she would of otherwise missed by taken the train Katsu found herself at school much quicker then she would of liked. Yes coming here was the only thing keeping her from falling into a grief so deep that she'd never make it out, but still she felt aprehension. Like standing at the edge of a cliff with no idea if your parachute would work. She just had to put all her trust here and hope she'd meet someone to help.
Katsu ached to see a familiar face, if just to prove all these Zodiac memories weren't just ideas in her head. She needed someone to explain.
Of all the Zodiac's only two did Katsu wish to be present. Libra, a friend who was moral and always did the right thing. They would be able to explain just why Katsu was reborn and why she was forced to relive these memories everytime her eyes closed.
Or even better she'd meet Gemini again. She wouldn't care if he couldn't explain it, or if he even knew why. Katsu just wanted her brother to hold her, whisper that everything would be alright. That would be a comfort Katsu lacked in this body and time.
Walking through the school Katsu knew she had a little time left. Besides, as a first year she would be expect to wonder around if to just get familiarized with the school grounds. She ran into a few students but none jogged her memory like she hoped.
Giving up Katsu turned to leave the hall, only to spot a blue haired boy rush into a class room. A warm feeling overrook her, like she was being hugged. Getting a good look at the room number Katsu promised herself to return later, and ran to her own homeroom.

"Uh, ok..." Geez she was off in a flash, mentally Gerard blamed himself. It was unlike him to be so straightforward and it must have scared her or something. But now that she mentioned it it is only a few minutes until class starts, Gerard quickly stod back up. He took a deep breath in and decided to never try and be so brave again. Even though she left in a hurry something about her seemed so reminiscent and pleasent, he felt as if they'd be seeing eachother very soon.
He scanned the courtyard and saw some people he might lable as zodiac but more that he could not imagine being so. He hurried into class quickly sat at the seat he had claimed, a window seat perfect for spacing out. Gerard barely so much as looked at his other classmates, until his eyes saw her. The same girl from the bench! Ah crap, he hid his face in his arms, so embarrassing.
The Zodiac just sighed and prepared himself for the more than likely long day ahead of him. Gerard would keep to himself as he always had, who needs friends anyway huh? He saw several people pour int the class some were late after the bell had rung but Gerard payed them little mind he was ready to be gone. Why had he come here anyway, nothing would change who he is.
