"Now arriving at International Airport of Brasilia," a lady over the intercom said. "Thank you for traveling with United Flights."
"And thank you for getting us here!" Cancer yelled to the intercom.
A few zodiacs stretched out their arms and legs as the airplane slowly moved towards the unboarding zone. The ones that were awake quickly shook the sleepy ones awake.
"So once we exit the plane, my friend will be waiting for us at the entrance with a van... two vans. From there we can start our journey," Orion told us.
"Does your friend know about... us?" I asked him.
"Yes. I filled her in with all the details," he told me before quickly adding. "She one of us as well. The three of us were trapped here together."
People towards the front started to collect their bags from the overhead before leaving. We stood up to do the same and I looked at Orion. "What is she doing in Brazil though?"
"Ever since we got stuck here, she's developed a love for wildlife and ancient history," he answered, as he grabbed his travel bag.
Ophiuchus led the group through the nearly empty airport. The sky was completely dark when we placed a skylight. The stars more visible than when we were in Georgia. The other Zodiacs chatted with one another quietly but the fire signs caught my attention the most.
"Aries! Oh stars," Sagittarius cursed.
"If we knew this would have happened we wouldn't have let you go," Leo whispered.
I turned to look at them as Leo held onto Aries wrist. They had stopped moving and the group didn't seem to notice their disappearance. I slowly approached them. "The groups leaving, gals."
Aries pulled her arm away from Leo, I got a glance of her tattoo nearly gone. She glared at all of us before walking off. I watched her storm off before Leo said, "She was trying to hide it from us and when she went to grab her bag I noticed it." The group was far in the distances just as we started to walk.
My symbol was still fully intact unlike the two girls. Their's had started to faded away and I looked at them. "We just have to be more cautious now, that's all."
"That's easy for you to say considering you haven't 'experienced' the world yet," Sagittarius told me, her eyes traveling the airport with wonder.
I stepped in front of her blocking her view. "This is exactly what is draining your life force. You got to look at the world as if it just another day. Look at it like its boring."
"Sage looking at the world like it's boring? You're going to have to blindfold her in order to do that," Leo laughed.
I pull out a jacket and said, "This'll have to do."
Sagittarius gave us a terrified look. "You aren't seriously considering this. Let go of me."
"Uh... is Sagittarius being kidnapped over here... by her own friends?" Gemini asked as he approached Leo and me hogtying Sagittarius down."
"This is for her own good. Her tattoo will fade out if don't keep her from being excited about the new surroundings," I struggled to say as I put the finishing touches on the blindfold.
"But I need to see the world before we leave!" Sagittarius said trying to take it off. She wobbled around from her lack of sight.
"That's exactly why you have a blindfold on. Come now, Sage," Leo led her away, being careful of with the numerous chairs that laid in their path.
Gemini looked between them and me. "My tattoo is fine so don't come at me." He started to walk away before adding. "Also they are waiting for you three at the entrance... again."

Orion introduced us to Cassiopeia. She waved to us with a smile, her dark skin flowed neatly with her black hair. After our introduction, we piled into the two vans. Virgo, Gemini, Aquarius, Capricorn, Pisces, Aries, Orion, and Ophiuchus in van two. Scorpio, Taurus, Cancer, Leo, Sagittarius, Cassiopeia, and me in van one.
"So where are we heading to Cass? Is it cool if I call you that?" Cancer asked, he sat in the front of the van while the rest of us were piled squished in the back.
She laughed, "Of course. So first will head off to my house. There we can eat and sleep before starting our hike tomorrow."
"Hiking as in hiking in the rain forest with bugs and stuff?" Scorpio asked, she made a face at the sound of insects.
"I want to go hiking!" Sagittarius exclaimed, her ridiculous blindfold still attached to her face.
"Sag no!"
She grumbled in annoyance and crossed her arms. The other Zodiacs didn't dare to ask and turned back to Cassiopeia. "Yes but don't worry. I have plenty of bug spray to go around."
"Do you have any clue as to where the temple my lie?" I asked her.
She looked at me through the rear view more before answering, "I believe I may have found something. I not sure if it is The Fallen Labyrinth." I nodded.
"Cassiopeia, do you know anything about The Fallen Labyrinth?" Taurus asked with curiosity. "You must surely know more than the other to since they said you were a... arch.. archae... a person that discovers history."
Cassiopeia smiled at her before nodding. "According to records and tablets I found, The Fallen Labyrinth has been around every since man could see the stars. People used to practice it as a religion. They claimed that a god would come from the temple and gifted men with gifts to help navigate their world. Sometimes it would be by the stars, other times sun and moon. Sometimes the god would take a person to go and bring them to the sky to live forever. Only people that the god chose could enter the temple and they were never allowed to speak of what was inside."
"What happened?" Taurus asked.
"The doors to the temple became locked and no one was allowed to enter or exit it. They believed that the god's trusted keeper leaked what was inside and as punishment he closed the temple. The people started to disappear from the temple and soon the religion died away. As of what is inside and its location is still a mystery. Though I did find tablets us what the Temple looks like."
"Okay now I definitely want to see this temple," Sagittarius clapped excitedly.
"Anyone got earplugs?"
