The Kingdom of Zo-An, A Strong and Peaceful land ruled by the Royalties with their King, Regulus, a direct descendant of the Elite Lunar Kings. They protected the Kingdom from any means of Calamity and ensured a good connection with its people.
All people of the kingdom praised and worshipped the Royalties since most of them were being taken care of enough for their daily living.
Divided into Four houses, VEA, LEA, CLEA, and DEA, they created an alliance that would take care every corner of the Kingdom.
Each house had a High Guardian chosen by the Royalties to defend against any danger.
The High Guardians have the ability superior to any normal people.
They are blessed by the stars in which they were called, The Zodiac.
One of the four houses was VEA, The capital of Zo-An Kingdom. This house was the rear Guard of the castle. It is protected by the Zodiac Taurus, very powerful warriors, each of them has the strength of a hundred men and can easily destroy any intruder into pieces by just using their bare hands. Their appearance was deceiving since they looked normal, not buffed, since they didn't even need to train their muscles to become strong. they were already born with this tremendous strength. They usually had green hair and green eyes. and a mark of the sign of Taurus on their neck.
A Zodiac can be identified by their tattoo with different signs of the star they were blessed with.
Knowing the Zodiac's ability, None ever tried to enter the castle without being invited or permission from the Royalties.
Royalties words were very powerful. even though their ability was unknown. everyone bowed down to them, and no one tried to challenge them, even the Zodiacs.
Nero Desi; The land of Nerium people, located by the northern part of the Zo-An Kingdom outside the border of VEA.
Desi was the name for the common lands behind the border of the four houses. even though they were outside the border of the main castle, they were still under the protection of each High Guardian near their land.
Nero Desi was mostly covered by the sea, and their main source of income was fishing.
Some people of the Nerium usually had been blessed by the Zodiac Aquarius.
Nowadays, the mark of zodiacs has rapidly decreased, so being zodiac has become rare.
from birth, a sign will appear on a different part of the child's body that determines which Zodiac they will become. but it's been Two years of circular moon days since the last zodiac was born. A Zodiac was not just blessed by their different abilities, but they can also live up to three hundred years. and their injuries regenerate twenty times faster than normal people.
Linhardt, A Nerium boy with the mark of Aquarius who dreams of being a High Guardian someday and serve the Royalties inside the castle.
But his appearance seems a bit different from his father and other Nerium who had the blessing of Aquarius. Most of their eyes were blue as the sky, and they had Dark blue hair, while Linhardt had pure black hair and yellow eyes as bright as the sun.
He always watches his father capture fish using his ability to control water. His father can create waves or any type of weapon that can be made with water.
Aquarius can manipulate any type of water, anyone who tries to fight them within the sea or any place with a huge amount of water within will be at a huge disadvantage against them.
Some rumors say that there is one Legendary hero Nerium who fights the war with the neighboring Kingdom that exceeds the limit of just manipulating water, but he could also control Air.
Linhardt had been practicing how to use this ability, but years had passed, and he still couldn't even move a bit of water.
I can't do it. maybe the reason why I looked different with you all is that I am not even a Zodiac.
he said to his father while sadly rowing the boat that they used to fish.
Don't even try to say that again, Linhardt, You're one of us! See that mark on your shoulder? that is the proof that you were an Aquarius, a Zodiac. but It's ok, Son, you don't even need this ability; I can do all the work here catching our fish, and you can always be there to help me secure it on this drum so we can sell it and continue to live peacefully. Is that ok? replied his father.
But what if something bad happens, I want to be the one to protect you, father.
Linhardt's father explains to him that there will be no harm that will happen to them. The whole Kingdom is secured. They have the protection of the Royalties and the Taurus Zodiacs that are within the border of VEA next to their Desi.
The father looked at his son and still felt that he was a bit gloomy on that day. Thus he decided to invite him and tell him to go together to VEA and sell the fish they caught.
He got a bit excited and almost spill some fish that they caught inside the drum.
hahaha, I'm sorry father, I just got carried away from what I heard from you. I was so excited that I would get to see the beautiful land of VEA! They both laugh as some water gets inside their shirt.
As soon as they get inside their house, Linhardt immediately prepares everything.
He took all the fish from the boat and changed his clothes.
Before they left, his father gave him a big hat that almost covered his face by the shadow of it when he wore it and said that he would only permit him to go to VEA if he would not remove his hat and just stick with his father all the time.
Linhardt agreed without even questioning. all he thinks about is the excitement of visiting that land of VEA.
