CHAPTER I: Shadow of the Past A sweet smile curved on my lips as I surveyed the entirety of my newly constructed house— a small two-story one. It took me seven years before achieving this goal of mine and I am so proud of myself. The money I used to buy a lot and materials for the construction of my house came  from my salary which I receive monthly at a restaurant as a waitress, dishwasher and janitor. My job was all-around at that restaurant. Hard as it may be, but manageable for my dream home sweet home.I grew up without parents. When I was only ten years old, I just woke up from a deep slumber in front of a church. I didn’t have any idea how did I end up there. That moment, I didn’t remember anything about me. I also have no recollections of my childhood memories. A nun took me to the convent and named me Ashburn. She dressed me up and sent me to school. But I only finished my 10th grade in high school.I left the monastery when I comple

CHAPTER III: Hard as RockI couldn't help it but to be surprised. What I'm seeing just astounds me. I assume that all of the creatures that can only be found in fairytales have gathered in one place.We come across several golems, goblins, imps, dwarves, elves, and even flying sweet fairies as we approach the huge golden gate. They were all busy in their own assigned task. I'm familiar with these creatures because I enjoy watching Disney films and animés. When Raid abruptly spoke, I came to a halt. That was Mr. Pervert's name, according to the lady with him.He said to Angel, "Can you give our companion a nice dress or else I may not be able to avoid staring at her chest.” He was attempting to stop looking at me, I found. The audacity, though. I wanna slap him 360 degrees right now if I was not only using my hands to cover my breast. He's ridiculously a pervert jerk to the heart. His mind is filled with filthy ideas. I just looked at the sky

CHAPTER V: Friends, Fight and Fury There are so many questions bothering my mind right now. Things were moving so fast and I was unable to register all the information I have learned just a while ago in my brain. Archmaster Leonard’s explanations earlier why I am here and what does the Celestial Twelve mean were too much for me to contain. It was information overload. However, I still can’t believe I’m one of the chosen Celestial Zodiacs- the twelve individuals selected by Archgoddess Lumia to entrust the fragments of her magic and power. The  Archgoddess of Sky chose us to be the guardians of order and peace in the world of magic called Celestia. Celestia, according to Archmaster Leonard, was in a great distress and chaos for almost a century and until now, destruction continues to siege the land. In addition to what I’ve known earlier was that I am the Cancer of the Zodiacs. And I am not merely

CHAPTER VII: Introduction of the Celestial Twelve The whole area is filled with magical things. I can't help myself but to be amazed even more. This feeling is very surreal but all things before my eyes right now are really existing. Fairies and tiny wind pixies are relentlessly scattering dust particles in the air that add to the grand ambiance of the place. I opened my palm and tried to catch dust particles falling down from above. It feels so good! This is once in a lifetime experience. In my whole entire lonely life, this is the very first time I feel ecstatic and excited. I have never attended a kind of celebration like this one. I closed my eyes for a moment and listened to the euphonious sound of the orchestra. But, I was taken aback when Caya suddenly pulled my hand. Is it her hobby to drag people? “Ash, hurry up. Be stunned and amazed later. For now, let’s go to our designated table,&r

CHAPTER IX: Memories Came Back The party in Dome Magia was a blast. I really enjoyed it. It’s already two a.m. in the morning. I just finished changing my clothes into a nightgown. Now, it’s bedtime. I am going to take my beauty rest now. Because of exhaustion, I immediately fell into sleep.  It’s been a few minutes since I closed my eyes but loud noises woke me up. I slowly opened my eyes as I heard resounding tremors and explosions from the surroundings. But, my mouth went agape when I realized I wasn't in my room, sleeping peacefully. What had happened? Where am I? How did I get here? Am I dreaming again?I saw many big bright lights sparkling in the whole area. I also noticed those gigantic round objects slowly revolving around the place. And then there was this tremendous spiraling aurora of stars and glowing particles above me. It looks like a galaxy comprises of millions and billions of colorful sands or d
