Chapter 8: Where It All Started

"You're finally here...."

A woman's voice was suddenly heard behind them.

The three of them looked behind and saw an old woman looking at them happily.

"Mamy Luna, Hi there are!" Aerith said cheerfully and gave the old woman a hug.

Astrid just stood there looking at them, the woman gave Heather and Aerith a smile and her eyes landed on Astrid.

Luna widen her eyes when her brown eyes met Astrid's icy blue one, she walked towards her looking at Astrid with pure shock.

Astrid felt uncomfortable when she was finally looking at her closely. Luna touched her cheek and images start to show in her mind.

The old woman gasp after touching her cheek for 5 seconds, Astrid didn't know what to do so she spoke.

"Umm Hi there I'm Astrid-" she didn't get to finish her sentence when Luna suddenly spoke

"A Hofferson" she whispered loud enough for her to hear

Astrid was shocked when the old woman knew her last name.

Aerith and Heather saw how Astrid got uncomfortable so they interrupted their weird conversations.

Aerith cleared her throat and grab Astrid's hand," Umm Mamy Luna, this is Astrid from the other side of the world, She's new here and she's a gemini"

Aerith said snapping the old woman, "Oh A gemini you say eh"

Luna said and smiled to them, she gestured for them to follow her. Heather and the two followed the woman inside, well more like to a hall.

The old woman lead them to a hidden door at the back of the the library, Heather and Aerith already knew about what's inside, but what made them confuse is, usually the old woman never trust anyone except for the two of them to enter the room.

Astrid was busy looking to the different shelves of book and didn't even notice that they already stopped.

"Ok ladies since you guys are here, a long with your new friend, I think I have a job for the three of you then" Luna said

"Oh right about that mamy, were not sure if were able to the things you wanted us to do today, since Astrid really needs a lot of knowing this place" Heather said.

"who said that Astrid will join the two of you, I will take care of the things she needs to know before the sun goes down, now go arrange those books on shelf 44, and as for you Astrid follow me inside"

Astrid looked at Heather and Aerith who just shrugged their shoulders and before walking away giving her a smile saying its gonna ok.

Luna opened the door and Astrid followed her inside.

At first Astrid only see pure darkness, until Luna opened the lights.

Astrid's POV

I can't believe it, I think this is the most beautiful and stunning library I've ever seen.

The walls are painted with different kinds of constellation there were some painted what it looks like gods and goddesses.

The Chandelier were like beautiful glowing crystals. I was busy looking at my surroundings but what caught my eyes the most.

Was the book shelf in the middle and not just any book shelf it was a very large and tall book shelf.

"Wow"

Was the only words I can say, Luna just chuckle at me because of my reaction.

"Wow indeed, my dear Astrid welcome to the Library of the Zodiac History."

She said and I was completely amazed, so it means Zodiac signs are not just any ordinary signs it has a history.

"This library was very Private, I'm the keeper of this library and people aren't allowed to enter here, unless I trust them, just like Heather and Aerith those two are always like a grandchildren of mine"

Luna said, so if this is a private library why did she let me enter, she never met me before why would she trust me so easily.

"Umm.. Not to be rude, but why did you invite me here then? We just met, and how could you put your trust on me that easily?"

"Well Astrid, because I know you are here for a reason, I think I know why the gods leads you to this place"

She said and went to the Shelf. She snap her fingers and books start to fly towards a table near us.

I was so amazed again but I was still confused why she invited me here so I need answers right away, focus Astrid you need to know a lot about this place, don't distract you're self!

"So, umm.. Can I ask why do you mean about me being here again??"

"Astrid, I know you are getting a lot confuse but believe it or not, you'll get it, for now I want to introduce you to something."

She looked at the piles of books in the table near us, and a blue one start to fly towards us, like wow its like it has magics in it.

"Miss, what is that?"

"Oh this is the Book of Gemini, and please just call me mamy Luna. Anyway the reason why I'm giving this book to you is because you're the chosen one" she said and handed me the book.

I don't know what to say and opened the book, I was so excited yet confused on what's in it... Once I saw the first paged I looked at mamy Luna shocked.

The words that was written weren't normal, Its like an enchanted letters I couldn't really understand.

"Woah, What does this mean, and all? I really can't understand this kind of language and I never ever seen or heard a kind of language like this" I said while showing her the pages

"That's right, because this book, was not just any book. You see Astrid Hofferson. This  book was the History of Gemini. It's the history of the mysterious Zodiac, the reason why the language is like that. Its because there's something in the past that were not being told. You see every Zodiac has its own book of history, the books will write themselves whenever or whatever the Guardian or the future guardian was doing something incredibly unforgettable... The books were special and all because it treasures a lot of memories"

Luna said to me while pointing at the book.

"But, I still don't get it, w-why? I'm just an ordinary Girl who works 24/7 for a living. And you said this books were special why give it to me then?"

"Like I said you're the chosen one, if you want to know more about yourself and get all your questions being answered then you have to do your first mission to start your year"

What.. First magics, and a hidden school full of Magics or something now mission?! What's next? Meeting thor in Jupiter?!

I was getting all and all confused to everything since this morning.

But there is one question I think she knew the answer.

"The mission" I blurted and she looked at me with a smile.

"Your mission is.. Get and know your powers. Because once you finally have it, the past will be answered little by little" She said and just suddenly disappeared out of nowhere.
