Chereads / The Cursed Zodiacs / Chapter 2 - Episode 2

Chapter 2 - Episode 2

Eric was currently riding his horse on a long grassy pathway. Suddenly his stomach started growling. He realized he didn't eat any of the food from the dinner with the king, but remembering that they wanted him dead it was good that he didn't eat it. He checked his pocket to see if he had some money. He only had a couple of coins. He thought he was going to eat food at the dinner, that's why he didn't bring any money.

Later on he stopped by a bar. He sat at a table and seconds later a waiter approached him. Eric asked him what could he get with this. He showed the waiter the coins. The waiter responded that he couldn't get anything on the menu, but he could get a salad and a piece of bread. Eric agreed to it since he didn't really have a choice. Shortly after Eric got his salad Pisces had walked in. Eric looked back and saw him and got excited. He saw his favorite zodiac knight. The waiter approached Pisces and asked him to take a seat. Pisces stopped him and asked him if he saw a boy named Eric. He showed the waiter a drawn picture of Eric from the king. Eric overheard them. The waiter replied that he just gave that boy salad. He pointed at the table, but Eric was gone. While the waiter talked about the salad, Pisces heard the door move. Eric took off on the horse as fast as he could and Pisces was trailing him shortly after. Eric looked back and saw Pisces move his katana. Eric gasped in fear then jumped off the horse right before Pisces generated an ice wall. Eric started rolling down a hill, hitting sticks and bumping into stuff on the ground.

Shortly after he reached the bottom of the hill. He struggled to get up. Eric started crying while asking himself why was this happening to him. His favorite zodiac knight is trying to kill him. The king wants him dead. Eric was so confused and frustrated because he did nothing. Then suddenly a boy appeared in front of Eric inferring that he's really going through it. Eric looked up to see a boy with black short dreads that's orange at the end wearing a white t-shirt, black pants, and black combat boots. He helped Eric get back on his feet. Then he introduced himself, stating that his name is Taron. Eric did the same.

After that Pisces appeared sliding down the hill. Once he landed he told Eric that he was under arrest for committing crimes against the king, and to surrender and return to the kingdom. Eric shook in fear, he had no other option. Eric slowly started to move forward. Taron stopped him then stated that he doesn't think Eric did anything. Then Taron walked towards Pisces. He then stated that it's been a while since he saw Pisces. Pisces was confused because he didn't know who he was. Taron acknowledged that he didn't remember him so he lifted his shirt and showed him his zodiac sign on his right pectoral. Pisces eyes opened as he realized who he was. Pisces replied that he remembered him now. That he's the cursed zodiac virgo. Eric gasped in shock, he didn't know Taron was a cursed zodiac. Pisces then told Virgo to move out of the way as he pointed his katana at him. Taron refused. Pisces then swung his katana upwards generating an ice wall. The ice wall dashed towards Taron and Eric, but before Eric knew it he was already safe. Taron had moved them to the side of the ice wall next to a tree. Taron then told Eric not to worry, he got him. As Taron looked over, Pisces had dashed in front of him.
