Fantasy Zodiac Patrons

[Ardere Onasis]

Yuri had taken a week to pack quite a few of his belongings, onl a few pairs of clothes, no shoes, as he doesn't wear them, and gifts for every individual Patron. He had heard about their lands and made up specific gifts for each and every one of them. He knew that they were meant to meet and talk in a magical house of some sort, but he had no idea what to be looking for. Eventually, he set off in search for the house. It had been three days by the time he reached the neutral area between all of the lands. At this point, he tried to not touch, but observe the many mystical beasts that he saw in the forest. After 3 more days, he finally found the cottage. He figured there was no way it could fit all of them considering it was only one floor, but it seemed like that one floor was massive. He took his large backpack, setting it on a tree stump. It was the obvious that he was the first one here, so he looked around, patiently waiting for the others.

Bellona was on her way to the neutral area. Before she left her home region, she wondered if she should bring gifts, but decided against it, she could not foresee what gift would suit which ruler, not to mention that some of them could just not like gifts from Chiron at all. At the beginning, when she stepped into the forest she felt quite at home, but it quickly became obvious, that this forest was nothing like the ones she grew up in. The deeper she went, the thicker the trees grew, and the darker it got, and altough her ability made it imposible for her to get lost, Bellona couldn't help but feel a little disturbed. Listening to distant bird singing, and wind whistling in the branches, she went on and finally spotted the cottage. She walked up closer, and greeted the ruler already there with a nod.

Allison walked to her mother and greeted her farewell until she was back from her journey, in an extra basket she had small gifts for all the zodiac rulers except her which she didn't understand the meaning of having to bring them. She entered the forest already hearing and feeling the sounds around her making her feel a bit nervous but Allison continued walking making sure to get to her destination safely, while the noises bothered her it was also entertainment as she walked, humming and smiling. After what seemed hours she finally found the cottage, seeing to other to rulers sitting there and greeted them with a smile, putting her bags down by another tree and stood there looking at the cottage confused of how everyone would fit in there.

Jaron sighs as he hoists his backpack over his shoulders again. He had packed light for this journey, but even what little things he did have were starting to weigh him down in the few days he’d been out here. Some spare clothes, enough food and water to last him there and back, and some gifts for the other rulers were really all he brought. He takes his time, walking at a slow pace to not get out of breath too quickly, and enjoying the scenes and sounds of this forest. There aren’t that many of this kind of trees where he’s from. And the cool breeze is just refreshing. At long last, he reaches the clearing of trees where the cottage is. Taking a deep breath, he puffs out his chest slightly and holds his head aloft as he approaches the cottage. He’s got to make a good impression for the others, you know. Seeing another bag on a tree stump nearby, he quickly sets his backpack down next to it and then enters the cottage. “Well, hello there,” he greets in a polite, friendly manner.

Castori had become aware of the meeting not too long ago. Of course, due to her standing in the current political discourse she quickly became wary of the situation. So, prior to leaving the country, she wrote a letter addressing one of her most trusted compatriots as ruler, should she fall. This caution was a telling sign of her overt distrust of the other rulers of the land, who she saw as nothing but dirt trying to take what was hers. Nonetheless, she still went on to the meeting, having a large caravan of her subjects escort her to the border of the neutral land. They couldn't go beyond that, however, as bringing in a large amount of personnel into a neutral territory is nothing short of a declaration of war. So she carried on without them for the remaining travel, armed with an ornate dagger she had hid on her person.

Luckily, she had known about this trek prior, and had dressed for the occasion, she wore abnormally modest attire for herself, fit for a long hike. She also took along her personal horse, which carried her luggage. She couldn't stand the thought of her personal belongings being soiled by the dirt around her. She finally finished the journey, taking several long breaks between travelling, enjoying the warmer temperature the forest had. Eventually, however, she became annoyed at how long it was taking to find the cottage in the forest.

When she did finally find the cottage, she walked in quickly, ignoring the group at the front, it was too much of a hassle to deal with them anyways. Went inside and found a place to put her stuff. At that point she decided against changing into a nicer set of clothing since she had not noticed any designation of rooming for the cottage. She had wanted to get out of the unnoble set of clothing she was wearing as soon as possible. She walked up to the group, her attitude being one befitting of her position, and looked at them harshly.

"I must ask." She began to ask her the all important question. "Where in the cottage do you expect us to stay, I need some privacy to get into proper attire."

Bellona- until now sitting at the back, got up from her seat and made her way to the front of the group, in Castori's direction "Well then, I must also ask" she looked down at the girl standing before them, she didn't have any features or clothing, characteristic for any region "Who is asking?" Bellona only had her bow with her that could betray her heritage, other than that, she had on her an elegant cloak, that mostly covered up what she was wearing, other than bottom of her angle-lenght skirt and tall shoes.

The Year Of 1678 - A time where a great meeting would come to pass. 12 Individuals' that were stated to be chosen by powers' of above; granting them attributes of myth. Strength that exceed that of mighty beasts, speed that turn them from still-figures to blurs in ones' sight and some which could not be simply explained by mere words. Within these lands; they were spilt into vast territories - Geographical elements, numerous events in their history and the imposing lifestyles that had forged cultures which continued for hundreds upon hundreds of years til this very day. Amongst them - It was stated that these lands had Rulers - Kings & Queens whom were chosen would be stated to meet.

Ceremonial reasons would be the cause of this meeting. Upon the lands where they would spend together; some amongst one and another had plans. Some may've intermingled with positive or... negative intentions - it was uncertain. Within one such land - It was only known as the 'Plains.' A vast land-mass of rolling hills and great prairies - Numerous tribes of either farmers or warriors dwelled within; normally divided by all bowed to one, the 'Bull' or Chosen of Taurus.

It was said that the greater leader was granted a sign; to meet these other 'Rulers.' Normally... He had no desire to leave his homeland... but some of his kinsmen convinced him to leave... Stated that even the greatest leader must venture forth to met others, to understand the world & met those who may even be similar to him... Such a statement was accepted in order to leave.

Gathering his personal items from charms of carven-stone, food alongside numerous other survival tools whilst some of the most important happened to be weapons - First being a large-bow with a full quiver of arrows. Secondly; a large pike which was several-feet in length with a sharpened, metal-head. Upon gathering everything; he wished his people. Informing them that he would be leave their homeland for a time before returning.

He knew that they would be alright without him... His land was fine without a ruler... He could trust them.

---

Weeks later; The man whose only name was 'Toro.' Rode upon the land leading to a neutral land; one unclaimed by all or one where no strife could come. His travels were not a trouble... In fact - It was enjoyable. Entertaining was it to leave 'The Plains' and see... more... The Valleys, The Rivers.... The Forests... Glorious sights were worthy enough to travel... But his purpose was to meet these Rulers.

His method of traveling?

...

Rampaging through the forest atop of massive horse crafted from rock that moved at the command of his mind - Charging through trees with ease til he arrived; standing atop of it's head as it lifted it's head high before it shattered at his command. Rather than suddenly falling... It had then began a slow descent via it's manipulation at the command of it's Ruler. As the forest floor was beneath his feet; the Ruler of the Plains as Toro had grasped his things.

His masked head looked and gazed where beady, red eyes danced from one figure to another... Alas - He ventured forward and went onward towards the cottage in sight. Settling more on placing down his items and resting his head; his form disappeared inside which he seemingly traveled into the underbelly of the cottage towards the cellar or something akin to it.

Looking around at the emptiness where he only placed down his things before he sat down on the floor... The stone floor... and closed his eyes as his head dipped down which he proceed to enter a slumber of a firm and dreamless deepness.

Thalassa ran a comb through her hair for the umpteenth time, going through who would also be at the summit. This was political and her reactions would impact her entire realm. She could not afford to lose her temper and spark a war. Packing the coral laced comb firmly into her travel bag she turned back to her reflection and practiced a pleasant smile. Thalassa could handle the rulers, she would ensure peace through her people. Leaving the realm on horseback, her people gathered before her. Praying for her safety and wishing her a speedy return. Thalassa smiled and nodded, accepting seashells that were offered to her with. A darker part of her reminded the queen what these same subjects had spread such vicious lies about her a few short years prior. Pushing that voice down Thalassa was on the path.

The ride was long and Thalassa felt a sigh of relief upon seeing signs of recent activity. Though she was no tracker, anything could have made such marks. It was odd being away from the climate she was born in, equal parts pleasant and grotesque. She had few weapons but they sat next to her, tied to the handle of the saddle. Her riding cloak was light but felt all encompassing, as did her long shirt and pants. The cottage came into view as she crested a hill, upon moving closer a small group also filtered into focus. Dismounting she walked the rest of the way, upon seeing other bags upon a tree she placed hers with them. Walking to the others she gave a smile and small nod, “a pleasure seeing you.”

The words had just left when a woman came stalking out and at her question and the other woman shot back hers. Thalassa peered at the cottage, it did seem a bit small. “Perhaps we are meant to room together?” The thought caused her discomfort, but she would rather room with a newly acquainted stranger than spend the whole duration sleeping outside. The words were said more to herself than anyone else.

Yuri stood up, looking at everyone else, he took a god glance at everyone here, and he got excited, He was wearing a clothes That most would consider very... Messy, but to his people, it was very formal to wear such. He wore a tight T-Shirt, with a Red trench coat over it, with rugged leggings, he smiled at each and every ruler, looking at Castori for a moment as she burst out, and talking in an annoyed tone"Well, If you Don't mind, you could ask for help from someone to help you find rooms." He then stood up on top of the stump he was on before, and exclaimed "I know not every Ruler is here, but I would like to introduce myself!, I am Yuri, The Aries Ruler! I look forward to meeting you all" he had a radiance of warmth around him, along with the massive smile. "Sorry my clothes aren't... as formal as y'alls, but its the best I have.... and I brought Gifts!"

 

[yutohase]

“Well, it is a pleasure to meet you, sir Yuri,” Jaron replies. He goes to sit down on the stump next to Yuri’s. Jaron looks down at his own apparel, fitting for a king, he’d say so himself, but still not as fancy as he’d hoped compared to the rest of the rulers. A simple short sleeved button down shirt with a slightly ruffled collar and some light suit pants made him seem formal, but comfortable as well in the muggy weather of his kingdom. “I guess I should introduce myself as well. My name is Jaron Diaz, and I hail from the wetlands of the Leo kingdom. Many of you may not know me, for I am still new to this whole ruling endeavor. But it is a pleasure to finally meet your acquaintance.” He gives a little bow as he says this. “And I have also brought gifts for you all, as is customary.”

Sol had left the Holy Grounds early in the morning, it had been easy traveling through his country as the country men took great pride in the carefully manicured paths and roads. As he reached the more densely forested neutral area he had to dismount and lead his horse on foot. His horse carried many supplies, other clothes, gifts for the other rulers, although Sol believed by this end of this meeting they may come to realized that Virgo’s laws and order were far better than the rest of theirs. For he knew that he alone could bring peace and prosperity to the land.

That night he stayed alone in the forest, sleeping on the ground, a quite novel experience for him. And building a fire proved to be an even harder struggle. That morning he awoke achy and sore from the bumpy ground, and set off towards the house again.

Sol arrived as the sun was fading out of the sky, and the moon was rising. The house, or cottage, Sol was confused to see the state of it. It was smaller than expected and seemed to be a measly one floor. There was also a man on a stump, like a common priest. Although in the Holy Lands even a priest of the lowest statue wouldn’t wear such clothes. Sol was wearing classic travel attire, a ruffled tunic, buttoned pants, and hooded cloak, with golden buttons and fur lining. He was also wearing his simple circlet.

Sol rode towards the others, ”Good day, fellow rulers.” he dipped his head slightly, and proceeded to dismount, “Is this where we are intending to stay?“ And he had thought the ground was bad, at least he had had his privacy then.

Gale made quick work of the distance it took to travel to the neutral land all on foot. They were to make the journey alone despite their discomfort with doing so. It was customary Anila said, though they supposed that she just wanted them to gain some confidence in their independence. As rare of an opportunity as it might be. They had spent months preparing custom gifts for each of the rulers and listening to the stories of their forefathers that their own people had held onto. These gifts carried in a large pack rather perfectly balanced on their back and protected from the elements.

The hooded figure arrived on the edge of the clearing just as a red haired ruler stood up on a stump and announced their title. Aries. They neared the group and took a note of all their faces and how they held themselves. Listening as Jaron introduced himself as the Leo ruler. Arriving amongst them all in their elaborately embroidered and beaded robes, they stood with a calm and delicate air to them. Not anxious nor arrogant.

Looking over at Sol as they dismounted and greeted. Taking in a breath and taking off their hood to reveal their head of long blond hair and the marking of their zodiac plainly on their forehead. "It is a pleasure... I am Gale, I am the Libra chief. Or ruler if you prefer." A warm smile graced their lips as they spoke with a soothingly sweet voice that was both feminine and masculine in nature.

Traveling to the neutral land for the meeting was extremely easy for Cordelia, because of the rivers. Each kingdom besides the Scorpio kingdom has a few rivers, so it isn't surprising for someone, who is from either the Pisces or Aquarius kingdom, to use it as a faster way to travel there. Especially if they are from the Pisces kingdom. They are extremely fast when it comes to swimming in the water.
Cordelia eventually had to get out of the water, so they can dry themselves through the use of their minor water manipulation. She then walked the rest of the way towards the meeting spot by using a map, and had brought the gifts for the other zodiac rulers as well. The backpack was extremely waterproof, since a normal backpack will not cut it when they are underwater for a very long time. She has her weapons too, because Cordelia is vulnerable on land.
It took a while for them to navigate the rest of the way, but they made it to the neutral area.
Once there, it took her a moment to catch her breath. Cordelia had to deal with the chaos of the endless torrents, the dangers of the neutral area's rivers, and walk towards the meeting spot. After drinking the water from a canteen, and eating one of the packed grilled fish from her backpack. They were ready to greet the other zodiac rulers.
"Greeting, fellow rulers. I apologize about my condition, because I am from the Pisces kingdom. My name is Cordelia Pelland, and I hope we can get along with each other." said Cordelia, who went back to finishing the grilled fish afterwards.

 

[Unknown mask]

Allison had stood up as her apearance was formal as she was in a sleeveless dress which had a collar type neck, clearing her throat she greeted "I am Allison Dawson the ruler of the Scorpio kingdom, you can call me allison, I have brought gifts with me" She walked back to the tree with her bag and stood their listening to all the greetings until she caught sight of Cordelia eating what it appeared to be fish, Allison walked to Cordelia and stood at a spot where she could still see the greetings.

Yuri looked around with a big smile on his face, he chuckled a bit at the different interactions, and different people, it made his heart race, because they were all so unique, compared to everyone at the fortress, back there, they were all so... bland, so uninspired. And here, everyone was like him, they had powers, and were guardians and rulers and chiefs. He opened his mouth to exclaim "How about we all explore the cottage? It's bound to be more than meets the eye!" he, without waiting for an answer, walked into it, and almost immediately noticed a door at the other side of the room, which wasn't visible from the outside, so he went through it, leading to a room full of 12 doorways with different signs

 

[Korni_Flakes]

Bellona stood in the "crowd" observing rulers surrounding her. Most of them seemed pretty young, around 20-24 years old, she was taken aback by how comfortably some of them interacted with eachother, almost as if they didn't know that their ancestors fought and killed eachother, for their people's survival...
Hearing someone's voice from the back of the group, she turned around and saw young, red-haired man, clothed in plant fabric and leather... Capricorn? Aries? Maybe Taurus? The man pushed the door in and entered the cottage, inviting them to follow him. Bellona moved slowly along with the crowd in his direction.

 

[Senor_Fluffy]

Gale couldn't help but eagerly follow behind Yuri wanting to sit down as the travel had been a difficult one. Holding open the door for their fellow zodiac rulers as they would eventually all file on in, angling the door on it's hinges so that it would continue to stay open until someone closed it.

"I've only ever heard a story or two of this place, it is so strange to see it in person." They seemed to think aloud with a warm smile across their lips as they looked around at the interior. Finding a couple sitting cushions a little out of the way they promptly made themselves comfortable. Sat criss-cross Gale carefully shrugged off their backpack and let it sit up on its own behind them as they took in the energy everyone was bringing to the table so to speak.

 

[Korni_Flakes]

Bellona entered the building and looked around the big room where she stood. Rooms were all right next to eachother. She found the door with arrow-like symbol drawn on it, and went in. She dropped off her belongings and sat on a simple bed with greiysh-green quilt. She decided to look around the room before meeteng with other rulers again.

 

[Unknown mask]

She stood there, hearing a voice of one of the rulers seeing Yuri go in but stayed where she was nervous to go in, she waited to see if anyone would go in before her. Allison quickly got her stuff from the tree she left it by and walked back to Cordelia.

 

[ramenqueen2]

Before entering Sol led his horse to a hitching post, tying the horse off and pouring water from his waterskin into the trough standing there. He grabbed his belongings off the horse to lighten the animals load and carried them in. He was one of the last to enter, although there was a girl hovering at the entrance. Who he bowed his head at as he passed her. Sol then quickly located his room.
It was a only a single room, bed in the middle, and a seating area to the left side, and to the write was a closet and a wash area. Although it only consisted of a pitcher and a bowl and some towels. The pitcher didn’t even contain water, it was even dusty.
“Am I supposed to fill this myself?” he wondered aloud. Surveying his room once more. He caught sight of a mirror, and his hair was in a sorry state, ruffle from the wind, not perfectly styled and slicked back as it is customed for virgo men to.
Sol then after trying in vain to fix his hair set his things on the floor, the bare floor, not even carpeted except one rug near the bed.
He then threw himself on the bed, it was soft, much better than the ground he had slept on the night before, although the voices and shuffling noises of the other rulers that trickled through his un-shut door was rather annoying. He should probably shut that before someone wanders in, but the bed was so comfortable it seemed a pity to get up now.
Out of his pack he retrieved a book, it was on what the Holy Grounds knew about the other rulers and he soon lost himself in it. The other cultures fascinated him. Sol also found himself a little jealous. Some rulers received super strength while he was left with a charming smile to help him rule.

 

[Blackrose7]

After finishing the grilled fish, Cordelia noticed Allison was walking back to her. Seeing as they were nice enough to do that, she took out another grilled fish from her backpack. "Would you like to have some grilled fish, Allison? It tastes really good, and I got a bunch of them in case the other rulers want to try it. Also, it is nice to meet you." said Cordelia. They had a cheerful smile on her face, because they do like the company.
She wasn't in a hurry to look around the cottage, since their intuition is telling her it isn't normal. 'As much as I want to look around the cottage. I don't mind hanging out with Allison, because the meeting will not happen immediately.' thought Cordelia.
Cordelia had a feeling that the meeting would be like that, as the Pisces and Aquarius ruler had to swim towards the meeting unlike the others. Speaking about the Aquarius ruler, they wondered what they were doing, since today was the meeting day. 'I am pretty sure that the Aquarius ruler will appear at the meeting, eventually. They are my neighbor after all, and I am curious what they are like.' thought Cordelia.
She was concerned about the Aquarius ruler's whereabouts, because they don't know what happened to them.

Yuri entered his room, which had a stone door, and when he entered there was a grass floor, and dirt on the walls, having a bit of a homey feel to it for him. There was a nightstand with an oil lamp, and a mount above the bed with a shield And a cross of two swords behind it. He went into the room, setting his stuff down. He looked through his massive bag, and neatly organized clothes, snacks, gifts, and other things.

 

[ramenqueen2]

After a while Sol became bored with the book and putting it aside he stood back up, hair still in ruins and lightly covered in dust he set out to find some water since he had given the last of it to his horse.
In the hall he looked around for help, although there didn’t seem to be any servants. When his parents used to take them to the country they would leave the servants behind except for a few and to get water Sol had had to walk down to a creek and fill a bucket.
He hoped there would at least be a bucket in the kitchen or something. The quaint cottage wasn’t really his idea of a good time. and the wild forest raging around it wasn’t either.
After not finding any water in the kitchen he started looking for a bucket.
“At least there must be a bucket, I’ll even settle for a bowl.” Sol sighed. He then started to noisily russle through the kitchen. the first thing he found was a spider, but it seemed happy in its web so he left it there and moved on.

 

[Unknown mask]

"No thank you, I had something to eat on my way during my travel this morning" She said smiling as she could feel a nervous vibration from Cordelia "Your not the only one who is nervous to go in to the cottage, I am as well" She said looking at cordelia who seemed to still be thinking and looking around as She could see more people going in to the cottage one by one but not a lot.

The more she looked around the room, the more uncanny it seemed to her. It felt familiar in a way she couldn't quite define. Possibly the fact that she spent most of her life living in cottage rooms, is the reason why the elements of the bedroom so strongly reminded her of something. Still the eerie aura of the room was making Bellona anxious, so she left her traveling cloak, her bags and her bow, and decided to leave the room for now, and see what else was in the "cottage".

She slowly walked down the hallway eying the wooden walls, the inside of the house was a nicer and more spacious than it looked from the outside. It was probably magical, whitch didn't really gladden her. She reached the place of the hall where their rooms ended and some other rooms started. She heard some noises coming from one of the rooms, and entered what turned out to be a kitchen and saw one of the rulers clearly looking for something. She stood in the doorstep for a while but then just decided to ask "Do you need help with finding something?".
