In the mystical land of Astralis, where constellations danced across the night sky, the inhabitants drew their strength from celestial beings known as Zodiac Spirits. These spirits, created from the essence of the stars themselves, governed the natural and magical forces of the world. Each Zodiac Spirit embodies the traits and talents of one of the twelve zodiac signs, such as the fiery enthusiasm of Leo, the tranquil wisdom of Aquarius, and the wily trickster personality of Gemini.
Each individual in Astralis is linked to a Zodiac Spirit at birth. This symbolic and profound connection affects a person's abilities, personality, and destiny. This profound and symbolic union determines one's talent, personality, and destiny. The Zodiac Spirit is a teacher and protector, bestowing power and intelligence to its owner. This union is valued through a ceremony in which a sign of the spirit is etched onto the form of the individual, declaring them a bearer of heavenly powers.
The Zodiac Spirits played a principal role in Astralian society in Astralis. Worshiped and idealized, these magical beings appeared in artwork, writings, and ritual life. They bestowed to their followers' specific powers that embodied their zodiac sign. For instance, people under Aries included violent fighting powers and unyielding courage. In contrast, others under Pisces could manipulate water and develop deep sympathy.
Astralians are specially gifted with the extraordinary power of a Dual Zodiac Spirit. People born on the cusp of two zodiac signs can connect with two spirits simultaneously. Embodying two zodiac energies gives them extraordinary potential and versatility. People with the Dual Zodiac Spirit can access both strengths, creating powerful synergies and developing extraordinary powers.
The Dual Zodiac Spirit bears were born with a talent for greatness. Having a double capacity for hosting two spirits, they could easily merge and harmonize two sets of powers, making them exceedingly powerful and adaptable. But with this remarkable gift came a cost: they had to master both powers and find harmony with both of their spirits. Their journey became discovery, self-enhancement, and the ever-present search for balance.
Astralis was dedicated to the quest to challenge and ultimately master one's Zodiac Spirit. Cultivators practiced both during the day and at night to develop mastery over their relationship with their spirit, unlocking new abilities and achieving new mastery levels. Cultivation rank grew from Novice to Celestial, and with each rank, users gained a profound understanding and mastery over their Zodiac Spirit. Those who bore two Zodiac Spirits could achieve even more extraordinary feats, as they unlocked abilities that single spirit-bearers could only dream of attempting.
Astralis is a place of mystical beauty and magic. The Starfall Mountains rise majestically, and the still waters of Lumina Lake reflect the celestial power that permeates the area. Ancient ruins and sacred sites are scattered throughout the landscape, remnants of a time when Zodiac Spirits walked among mortals. The citizens of Astralis live in harmony with nature, drawing strength from both the stars and the guiding spirits surrounding them.
In this universe, Orion and Aria were born on the cusp of their zodiac years, destined to awaken their Dual Spirits. Orion shares Aries's fiery nature, Taurus's stubborn will, and Aria shares Leo's fearless leadership and Aquarius's creative mind. They will be tested by challenges of their power, intelligence, and determination. In them lie ancient secrets, powerful alliances, and a sinister shadow that will threaten all of Astralis.
