Chapter 1 - Whispers of the Forgotten

The city of Neo Orleans sprawled before Mazigh, its streets winding like a labyrinth, a melding of futuristic architecture and remnants of a bygone era. It was a place steeped in darkness and mystery, where shadows danced upon the cobblestones. Dressed in a baroque ensemble that harkened back to Victorian elegance, Mazigh walked with a purposeful stride, his ethereal beauty captivating those who crossed his path.

As he made his way through the streets, fragments of his forgotten past whispered through his mind like a distant melody. Blurry visions and ghostly voices beckoned from the depths of his memories, leaving him haunted yet driven. Mazigh's existence was a tapestry of enigmatic charm and hidden pain, a secret he carried within his soul.

Eventually, Mazigh arrived at the grand entrance of the Cathedral Of Shadows, a hallowed institution nestled in the heart of Neo Orleans. Inside the classroom, eleven students awaited, representatives from the twelve zodiac covens. Each coven possessed a unique ability, a manifestation of the traits associated with their respective signs.

The instructor, a wise and weathered witch, stood before the class, her voice carrying a quiet authority. Her words painted vivid images of the covens and their powers.

"Welcome, students, to the Cathedral Of Shadows of Neo Orleans, where the mysteries of the zodiac covens await. My name is Taghnja and I will be your teacher today. We shall delve this moment into the unique powers that each one of you possesses.

Let us begin with the Aries Coven, known for their Pyrokinetic Mastery. These adept individuals have the remarkable skill to control and manipulate fire with precision, harnessing its destructive force to serve their purposes.

Next, we have the Taurus Coven, masters of Terramorphic Shaping. With their power, they can mold and shape the very earth itself, commanding its elements to create structures or reshape the terrain to their advantage.

The Gemini Coven, on the other hand, possesses a remarkable gift called Duplicitous Illusions. They can create illusions so vivid and convincing that they can project multiple copies of themselves, leaving their adversaries baffled and uncertain, and other mysterious abilities called The Dark Arts.

Moving on, we come to the Cancer Coven, blessed with Lunar Manipulation. Drawing energy from the moon, they possess enhanced healing abilities and can control the tides, wielding the ebb and flow of water as a powerful force.

The Leo Coven, with their Solar Radiance, absorbs and emits solar energy. This grants them enhanced strength and the ability to emit blinding light, making them formidable opponents to behold.

Now, let us discuss the Virgo Coven, known for their Botanical Mastery. These skilled witches have the unique ability to communicate with and manipulate plants, using them for defense, healing, or even as instruments of manipulation.

Ah, the Libra Coven and their Harmonic Influence. They possess the extraordinary power to manipulate emotions, creating a sense of balance or disharmony in others, which can greatly impact the outcome of any encounter.

Our attention now turns to the Scorpio Coven, whose power lies in Venomous Affliction. They are capable of producing and controlling potent toxins, capable of inflicting lethal or incapacitating effects upon their enemies.

The Sagittarius Coven, renowned for their Projectile Precision, boasts exceptional accuracy and mastery in ranged combat. Whether it be projectile weapons or anything that can be thrown, be it fire or water, they strike their targets with unparalleled precision.

Let us not forget the Capricorn Coven, whose power lies in Chrono Perception. These adept witches can manipulate time perception, granting them increased speed or the ability to slow down their opponents, giving them a decisive advantage.

Ah, the Aquarius Coven, with their Hydrokinesis. They possess the ability to control and manipulate water in all its forms, creating powerful water-based attacks or utilizing this element for various purposes.

Lastly, we come to the Pisces Coven, known for their Astral Projection. These skilled individuals can separate their consciousness from their physical bodies, allowing them to traverse the astral plane and explore realms beyond the physical realm.

These unique powers, dear students, define the distinct nature of each zodiac coven. As you embark on your journey here at The Cathedral Of Shadows, may you discover the depths of your own abilities and unlock the true potential that lies within.

Mark that each one of you is able to manifest all these powers, but none can perfect a certain ability if they are not from that certain coven. For example, a Capricorn witch can produce fire and control it, but an Aries witch can become fire. An Aries's potential is limitless when it comes to Pyrokynesis while a Capricorn's potential is limited. In simple words, each one of you has a domain you specialize in and can perfect. You can tangle in other domains but, never fully own them. Unless of course, you are a Yakkouch, a person who can perform all these 12 wonders perfectly, but that is only a myth, or maybe it isn't."

The teacher's voice resonated in the classroom, igniting the students' curiosity and anticipation for the wonders and challenges that await them in their studies of witchcraft and the mysteries of the zodiac covens.

Mazigh, in all his ethereal allure, belonged to the Gemini coven. Geminis were known for their magnetic charm and mesmerizing presence. Their power lay in the realm of illusion and manifestation, the ability to warp reality. It was a gift, or perhaps a curse, that Mazigh wielded with an enigmatic grace.

As the lesson unfolded, Mazigh's mind drifted to the whispers of his forgotten past. The fragmented memories and haunting voices echoed within him, fueling his desire to uncover the truth. Yet, he remained a persuasive enigma, his past shrouded in layers of mystery.
