"Caliel, run!! you need to live, you need to carry on living even if we're no longer by your side! so please, leave us and go!". These were the last words that my mother said before father and her were killed.
Even now that memory is still engraved in my mind, as I ran away from my parents that is getting killed by a constel from the tower, A traumatizing memory that has rid of my emotions, leaving only anger behind . However, even if I wanted revenge, I don't have the strength to do so. After all, I'm just a powerless cripple.
"Hey, Caliel!! let's get going we're gonna be late!"
". . . ."
"Hey Caliel, why are you always like this? If you want to regain your emotions you should have fun from time to time, you're not gonna get it back if you just keep on being alone. Remember, I won't always be here with you, someday I will have to climb the tower just like the others, that's why before then, I would like to see you have a genuine smile on your face"
Serie grabbed my hand while giving off a pretty smile as we ran to Le kradia university, a place where we prepare for climbing Constalia, the tower of Celestials.
"Oh it's serie and the cripple again hahaha, as always, going to school together in the morning."
"I really don't get why a pretty and talented woman like serie would be friends with Caliel, the great cripple hahaha."
The other students burst into laughter as they see me walking past the gate, it's always like this every morning, even serie, my only friend is taking the criticism even if she doesn't deserve it.
"Serie, you don't have to come to school with me every morning, you're taking in all those unnecessary criticism just from coming with me."
"Shut up, If I want to go with you, I'll go, that's why you don't need to worry about me and just train your martial arts"
"My martial arts alone won't be enough, I need to aquire Scorpio's lightning if I want to win in the final exams this month."
"Well that's not exactly wrong, but do you think you can get it? I mean, you're already 17 years old yet you still haven't got one, do you think you'll be able to manifest it within this month?"
Serie asked me while looking at me with a worried face. I keep telling to myself countless times that I'll be able to get scorpio's lightning but I haven't, that's why I practiced martial arts with the daggers that my father left every day until my body drops dead.
Meanwhile in the Realm of Celestials...
"arghh, these humans really has no end to their greed, finding any way to obtain powers and wealth even through despicable means, it looks like I'll have to take action if I want to stabilize Constalia."
"De maia, tell the 12 zodiacs to gather at the Hall of Ordos. Tell them I would like to discuss something concerning Constalia"
"Understood, Lord khel."
De maia disappeared Immediately to inform the 12 zodiacs. After De maia left, Khel stood up to check on the students of Le kradia.
"These kids, will one of them be able to change the tower?. . . . wait, is that?. ."
After rummaging through the campus, his field of vision came across Caliel who was training at the gym.
Khel watched caliel for about half an hour, suddenly a group of boys came to caliel, one of them suddenly attacked caliel with his powers and the others started laughing as caliel flew to the wall.
"What do you want?"
"What we want?, nothing, we just wanna beat you up you ugly cripple."
"Hey zach, hit him once more, this time use your full power, I wanna see this emotionless bastard scream hahaha"
At that time, khel didn't understand why caliel won't fight back against them, so he decided to check up his information.
[Student info : Caliel ]
FULL NAME : CALIEL YO RUEN
PARENTS : DECEASED
BIRTHDAY : NOVEMBER 5
ZODIAC POWER : NONE
Khel was surprised when he found out that a kid has not been given the power of a zodiac.
He proceeded on watching caliel get beaten up by the other students, but this time caliel was fighting back, unfortunately his martial arts and daggers wasn't enough to overcome the gap between their powers.
"Caliel! are you alright? let me take you to the infirmary. hang on to me."
"I'm ok serie, you don't have to do this, you'll just end up receiving the short end of the stick."
"What are you saying? I can't just leave a friend alone and injured. So just shut your mouth and come with me."
While we're walking to the infirmary serie asked me.
"Caliel, do you really have to join the Final examination? you'll just end up getting beaten to death by the other students."
"I have to, I have something that I want to achieve at the top of the tower just like you, that's why I have to climb the tower no matter what."
"But you know that you won't even be able to pass the examination floor without powers, why would you still go in there and risk your life!?"
"If I can't have what I want there, then I'm just as good as dead. I won't be able to have a peaceful life until I kill those who did me wrong with my own hands. That's why I want to climb the tower."
Serie proceeded on walking with caliel in the hallway.
. . . .
"This going to be interesting, by the way, what's taking de maia and the 12 too long? they should be here by now. . . . . oh, they're here."
De maia entered the king's throne room with the 12 zodiacs and noise started to fill the throne room.
"Your Highness, I have brought the 12 just as you ordered."
"good work De maia, you may now go."
The 12 Zodiacs knelt before khel, their king.
"Leonidas Zolia, Lion Celestial, God of fire, is here."
"Aries Selie, Ram Celestial, Goddess of Sound, is here."
"Virien Gonia, Virgin Celestial, Goddess of Nature, is here."
"Helias Scorpio, Scorpion Celestial, God of Thunder, is here."

"Gema of Gemini, Twin Celestial, Goddess of Illusion, is here."
"Tauriel Enrai, Taurus Celestial, God of Earth, is here."
"Capricia Heri, Goat Celestial, God of Darkness, is here."
"Sagiri Taruin, Archer Celestial, Goddess of Light, is here."
"Gema, where is your twin Iniel?"
"Your Highness, he's still checking on earth right now so he is not currently present."
"Is that so, alright the 12 of you, gather at the Hall of Ordos, we will now put that plan into motion."
"Understood."
. . . .
"Hey Leo, is the plan that his highness is talking about, that one?"
"Yes, that's why we need to prepare, I'm sure that Herion and his army are preparing for this either."
As Khel was walking away, a smirk formed at his face.
"A Great war is about to commence, these turn of events is getting amusing."
