Chereads / Pegasus Knight / Chapter 11 - The Twelve Zodiacs

Chapter 11 - The Twelve Zodiacs

"Criinnngg," a colorful light appeared in front of him. Within the light it faintly looked like a shadow.

Eleven humans lined up standing among the light. They wore costumes like knights.

The humans in the light had different costume colors and shapes.

While a bracelet in Ziko's hand

has twelve zodiac signs with

various colors and symbols.

At that time each of the zodiac has the same color as the color of the costume of the knight who was in the light.

But strangely, why is there one zodiac symbol that has no match with the knight in the light.

Zuko looked back at a crest depicting a human riding a horse and carrying a bow.

At that time Zuko looked at the eleven knights in front of him, wondering why only eleven. Then where is one of the missing knights.

"The shadow in the light just stood still without moving a bit. Then came an old man who had mysteriously disappeared.

"Zuko. As a knight, understand all of this," said the old man while pointing at the knight in a beam of light.

The old man was still wearing a white robe, and carrying a cane. He stood perfectly without bowing in the slightest.

Zuko looked at his grandfather in surprise, occasionally looking at the knights behind him. The knight was like a grandfather's who was smiling rather kindly.

"Become the greatest knight in this world, after you are able to understand something in front of you," said the old man with a smile.

"I present the shadow of the knights of the zodiac to make you stronger, if that is all you can understand," added the grandfather again.

"Just try to explain, I don't understand at all," Zuko looked confused, not understanding the meaning of all that.

The old man walked closer, he said something, "you are a human chosen by god Zeus, and one of the twelve knights is you."

"Am I the zodiac itself? And am I the holder of one of those keys?" asked Zuko in shock at this strange fact.

The old man walked back to where he had been. "Surely you are the holder of one of those keys, because you are the lord of the Sagittarius temple."

"Sagittarius? So I am the knight of the Sagittarius zodiac itself?"

"That's right, Mr. Zuko," replied the grandfather.

But Zuko is still curious about the identity of a grandfather in front of him. He wondered whether the grandfather was the god Zeus himself.

"Before you ask who I am, I will answer if I am the spirit of a knight's book of destiny," said the old man.

Zuko understood that, if the old geezer in front of him was the spirit of a book that contained the destiny of a knight like himself.

"Grandpa. Can you change my destiny to become an ordinary person again?" Zuko asked.

The grandfather just smiled as he walked over to Zuko who was standing, "Your destiny as a Pegasus knight cannot be changed by anyone, because it was recorded in the book before you saw the sun for the first time."

The old man's words had quite a deep figurative meaning, he said that Zuko was destined to be the guardian knight of the Goddess Athena since he had not been born in this world in a written book of destiny.

Zuko looked at the shadows of the eleven knights in the light, as if there was one shadow forming like him, but it was so faint it was barely visible.

"Zuko. Understand the meaning of yourself as a knight. Because behind your destiny like that, you will get a lover," said the grandfather before suddenly disappearing again without a trace.

"Who is my lover?" just as Zuko asked, the old man had already disappeared.

That instant. All the shadows of the Zodiac knights disappeared along with the gradual disappearance of light.

Now the path in the middle of the forest turned very dark. The atmosphere was tense again when a wind hit him.

Zuko thought back to Freya, who had been cold, brought back to the kingdom by Patih Cakra.

He rushed back to the kingdom to see how Freya was. There was a feeling of guilt in him for being careless that Freya had become like this.

He walked and kept walking, staring at the road in front of him which was clearly imprinted with the footprints of horses.

"Freya. I'm sorry for not being able to protect you until you fell," he muttered to himself.

Even though when he was attacked by the robbery earlier, he could have used his prowess. But he doesn't use power moves for no good reason at all certain.

Arrive in front of the royal gate which looks so majestic with yellow lights on each side.

He entered slowly past the guards who politely bowed, while Zuko passed them with a friendly smile.

"Mr. Zuko, I was looking for you to every side of the forest," said Patih Cakra who suddenly came from behind him.

"Where was Uncle looking for me? Didn't you see me at all in the middle of the forest?" Zuko asked in surprise.

"I was looking for every side of the cliff, and I also passed the road to the cliff. But Mr. Zuko was nowhere to be seen," replied Patih Cakra.

That strange answer left Zuko dumbfounded, how could it not? He had just stood still for a long time on the road to the cliff when there was a mysterious grandfather.

But when in the forest, he did not see Patih Cakra who was looking for him on a white horse.

"Uncle, what about Freya's current state?"

"I'm looking for Mr. Zuko because Princess Freya has been looking for you for a long time," said Patih Cakra as he ordered one of the soldiers to lead the horse back to the stable.

Zuko was worried about Freya's condition. "Uncle, could you please take me to Freya's room?"

"Come on, sir, I'll take you to Princess Freya's room," Patih Cakra walked to invite Zuko through the main door.

Zuko always prays that Freya is okay. Even though he is only a guard for Freya, there is a sense of sadness if the Princess happens to be unwanted.

A few moments later arrived at the door of Freya's room. Zuko looked from outside the door that saw the girl lying on the bed.

"Please come in, Mr. Zuko, Mr. Princess Freya has been waiting for you for a long time," said Patih Cakra as he walked away.

"Yes uncle. Thank you very much," Zuko walked slowly into Freya's room while knocking on the door like a guest.

Freya looked at Zuko with a straight face as if contemplating something, her face was pale and had a cloth on her forehead.

Zuko sat while touching Freya's face which looked very pale, "Freya, you have a high fever."

"Yes," Freya answered shortly.

"Is it because you fell into the river earlier?" Zuko feels guilty for not being able to protect a Princess Emperor who is very special to him.
