“You are a funny lady.” The child said.
“How is that so?” Ara asked.
“You won’t find it.” The child said.
“What are you doing out here?” Ara requested.
The child glanced up with her green eyes and fluffy brown hair smiling. “I want to.”
“Want to what?” Ara asked.
“Be here and see the day.” The child said softly.
“Why is it important to you?” Ara inquired the child.
“Because we are in the Aquarian Age and people like you wish to end it, but the Watcher knows more than you.” The child alleged.
Ara opened her mouth and was about to say something when the child giggled and began to run away. “One day you will know me as Elu.”
She looked in the child’s direction, but the sun’s rays shined too brightly over her eyes. Ara covered her face and turned to see where the child had gone and couldn’t find her after her eyes searched the area. Ara got back into the car and tried to place what happened. She was worried now that something else was happening.
Chapter Two
Sophia sat on her bed and peeked up at the ceiling. The world was changing and she didn’t know how to stop it. The visions kept coming and she was now trying to decide what to do next. She glanced through the window and stared at the people walking by. Their lives as she thought would be forever changed knowing the truth of everything that was to be. Suddenly, she held onto the bed and was surrounded by a pale light. The air around her stiffened and she held her eyes shut.
The lights shined radiantly and the winds surrounded Sophia with immense strength. She looked around standing in a void of white. She gasped seeing the lights touch an endless void flowing around her. She turned to the side to see the stars of Aquarius belt merge with the Orion’s belt. The stars moved as one and Aquarius touched over earth with his hands. He smiled at her and the lights shined over a large tree with sections of humanity branched on each one. Gaia turned her back on humanity and the branches began to wilt and fall. Sophia tried to reach out, but she was stopped by the child, Elu. She looked back at the child mysteriously and she beamed. The child ran from Sophia and shook her head.
“Watcher, things will be as they are and look to find the child you seek in the future.” Elu said.
“Who is this child?” Sophia said with caution.
“There will be many but this one selected just like the others. There is never one but many. Hold onto your faith and remember that the path to the sight is to see and transform. Your task is to witness, but this will not be easy.” Elu commented as Aquarian reached out to humanity to save them.
“My task?” Sophia asked confused.
“Through the madness and chaos, you will see what will become because it is within you. You are the watcher and have the truth of what will happen to humanity. There is something you must understand as it is within you.” Elu said delicately.
“The tale of being a watcher is never an easy one but remember that you are a witness to what is to gain. Your ideal heart is what will save the human race. Show them that there is a future worth to search for. You are the one to seek out the child and confront the child in the future.” Elu continued.
“Others will follow in your path to help you. Aquarian will help alongside you someday but the rest is for you to do. Show Gaia that humanity is much more. She is hurt, and you must show her that there is more to humanity than what is the negative.” Elu said gently watching the white clouds of the void surround them.
“Who are you?” Sophia asked herself out loud to the child.
“I am a friend that is here to help you understand your journey and it is time for you to step into your role. The truth is out there and once you take into your role, you will be transformed.” Elu smiled lightly as the clouds moved around her.
“I don’t know… how to…” Sophia remarked.
“You will Watcher and it will be your determination that will shape the course of humanity into the better light of things.” Elu said while fading away.
Sophia stood there hesitant of what to do. She had to step into her role as the seeker and perceived of that Gaia and Aquarian wanted to protect humanity from itself. She was tasked to find much more than this child. She had to pass the knowledge onto the next generation. The clouds continued to surround her and Sophia peeked up at the vision to see the leaves turn brittle. She walked over to the tree and touch it lightly. The tree with the humans on it gave life again. The roots to the tops of the tree no longer wilted but grew back to life. She sighed and saw Gaia, Aquarian and Elu watch her. She turned around to see in the mist of the white clouds turning green and violet many children with light eyes watching her. Sophia gasped and subconsciously reached out.
“I see you…” she whispered.
“We see you watcher. We are the children of the next generation. We are the ones that will be coming. We will aid you. We will seek you out. You are the union that the witnessed saw.” The mist shrouded over them and disappeared.
Sophia soon fell and screamed as the void of brightness turned to darkness and the light around her spurred to life as a disease. She peeked up and saw nothing now but darkness. Sophia fell onto her bed and inhaled for breath as she looked around her. She held her chest and comprehended that the search would come quickly then she needed it to. She had to become the watcher to protect what was going to be. The visions showed her a future for humanity only through fighting against the rotten core of it. Sophia quickly got up and went to her closet. She began to pack things into her back and looked around seeing nothing was the same ever again after the last vision. She quickly hurried and threw things into a bag.
The door opened up and Shera glanced around the room to see it a mess, “where are you going?”
Sophia didn’t turn around and continued to pack, “I’m going on a trip.”
“What kind of trip?” Shera asked Sophia skeptically.
“I’m going to… New York.” Sophia faltered.
“No, you’re not. You’re leaving,” Shera said gradually crying.
Sophia turned around and put the last item in her bag, “Shera, I’m sorry, but I’m leaving for good. I have a mission to save the world.”
“What do you mean save the world?” Shera asked insecurely.
“I’ve been chosen and I’m going to make sure that humanity has a future,” Sophia said instantly.
“I don’t understand. Mom and Dad will be furious,” Shera said silently.
Sophia marched up to Shera and placed her hands onto her sister’s shoulder’s. “You will not understand but sometimes taking the risk to save your loved ones is beyond the invisible. I didn’t understand my role fully, but now I do. I have to ensure the safety for the world. My visions are what sets me apart.” Sophia pronounced.
“This is all real and not a dream. I am a part of this world and need to understand everything myself. I am one who has to see out those special ones. If I don’t unlock this, the world will fade away. If you were given the chance to save something great, would you, do it?” Sophia specified.
“I don’t fully understand, but I can empathize on wanting to save people.” Shera said looking into her sister’s eyes.
“Then you will know that I will need to do this.” Sophia said stepping away from Shera and picking up her bag.
She glanced at her sister and half smiled opening the door softly. “I love you, Shera, Mom and Dad.”
Shera began to glow green and the house overtook with magically energy. Her hair began to glow and radiate with power. Shera fell to the floor. Sophia sauntered out the house. She pulled the hoodie over her head and glanced back at the house where she had lived. Shera, her mom and dad would never know she existed. She had to sacrifice them as she could never return back home for anything because of the journey ahead of her. She clapped her hands together and felt the immense power of Aquarian flowing through her. Sophia glowed lustrously a
nd her hair radiated like columns of flames. The entire neighborhood was engulfed with the same magic. Many helicopters saw the bright light. Sophia opened her eyes and strode away down the street. No one would remember in this neighborhood. Her whole life from preschool, elementary and middle school would never know of her. She would create another name that would be more befitting of her role as ‘Healing Muse.’ She would protect the sovereignty of humanity by spreading the knowledge of her visions and a wait for the child.

Many reports had come in about a strange light engulfing a neighborhood. Many people and cars stopped seeing the lights eclipsed. Ara looked around and tried to determine the cause of it but could not find any fault. Many people scratched their heads as to what really happened but no one knew. A car pulled up and Hans got out and glanced at Ara.
“What happened here?” He inquired her.
“We are still researching what happened.” Ara told him.
“The Light Group won’t be happy with our progress.” Hans said to her. “They want to see results and they handed this important mission to us and… then nothing.”
“I believe that someone is a step ahead of us. I met with a strange girl and she told me this would happen.” Ara half whispered.
“What are you talking about? We have failed. That immense energy could have been the child.” Hans said furiously.
“I don’t think so, as this might have been the watcher. We can still catch her or him. The watcher is key to the Aquarian Age. She or him have untapped magic that could benefit us. We can still have psychics to look for them.” Ara said coldly.
Hans looked over at the people being questioned and others detained. “I don’t think we have a choice. The Light Group will want answers and we don’t have them. Our time in this tale has failed and it’s not for us to determine it… but only you.”
She turned to him concerned, “what are you talking about?”
Hans shifted his hands behind his back and started to walk away then stopped, “someone has to play the villain and another has to be the victim.”
“Villain and victim?” Ara asked him.
“I had to trade your failure for my safety. We work in a place where failure is not an option, Ara. You should know this,” Hans said briefly.
Hans strolled away and Ara started to go after him but was stopped by other men pulling her back. She knew in that instant that she would never return, for Hans had sold her out but the Light Group had taken people like her. Ara glanced up at the sky and saw the Aquarian star burn brightly in the distance. The Aquarian Age was now in full commission and the greatest threat to the Light and Celic group was the Aquarian Watcher and the prophesy of knowledge for what they would say next.

An endless void resonated in the darkness and out came a water bearer with a blue highlighted halo enchanted over his head. His gleaming eyes glanced at the swirling mass of blue and green below him. His hands moved in a ritualistic wave and more water flowed out from the water bearer to flow down. He gazed through a water mirror and sighed heavily as his medium size kneeled down. He was young looking with appearance of a teenager in young youth. He smirked softly as the swirling mass turned into an abundance of people walking, singing, dancing and doing many more things. His eyes lit up looking down at them.
He turned his head and promenaded closer to the starry steps below him while wearing long blue robes. Water continued to flow out in a magical array defying gravity and giving an alluring field. He passed many statues of water bearers and stars fizzling in and out. His long pale alabaster hair was pulled back finely into a braid as he walked carefully studying the world below him. He concluded that the humans needed more time.
He waved his hand in front of the waterless mirror and sighed as it would be a time before things would change the very world before him. He had given the Aquarian Watcher the sight for the future and saw how she had gathered the people overtime. He was indeed Aquarian the new guardian of the Aquarian Age. He touched the mirror effortlessly studying its prowess as he once hinted to the maiden many years ago about the plight that humanity would encounter. He needed her to understand that the time was coming, yet he never quite said of a prophesy that overtake the world that would linger on.
Aquarian knew that within the fabric of the destiny for this new age certain things would have to achieve if humanity was to live. He had been governed by the powers above him to swiftly protect humanity but even a guardian with god-like powers to mortals’ standards had to give free will to such creatures. Aquarian knew humanity had to defend itself from its own enemies within. He sighed and gazed at the timeline of earth seeing the many children about to be born into the age that would change. He carefully weaved his hands through the timeline and watched the children soon to be born and smiled.
“Soon you will be coming.” Aquarian said kindly.
****
Stars moved in and out of the darkness like weeds in a garden. Two maidens with strikingly long elegant hair and different color eyes matching each one with the same at the same time. Strands of gold threads weave in and out of their hands. The light of the threads lit up the area. The shine continued to resonate with a pulsing emergence. Both maidens glance down and smirk profoundly as one small sector of the thread turned green. The maiden on the right pushed a piece of hair back that appeared of starlight. The other maiden on the left did the same action pushing her ruddy color hair back.
“Destiny, do you feel that the time of the Aquarian Age chosen in here?” The maiden on the right inquired.
The maiden acknowledged her sister and smiled, “Fate, I do believe so. I feel it is time that the prophesy has come to pass.”
“Does that mean the chosen will save earth?” Destiny shyly said.
“I believe so, though power is influenced by the user and thus eternal. The welcoming of this child or many shall succeed in earth’s reverence.” Fate said excitedly.
A door opened to them and a gush of wind poured into the room. Fate and Destiny sighed and waved both of their hands to close the door. The light moved away as they peeked back at the green tinging red.
“A savior and destroyer shall collide soon…” Destiny said softly.
“There must be balance.” Fate said gently.
Both maidens continued to weave the threads closely as the sparkle of light faded then reappeared once more.
Chapter Three
A woman marched across the floor as her heels clattered against it heavily. Her rosy cheeks stood out against her tanned skin and light eyes. She continued to strut and pressed her hands against twin oak doors with a rabbit dog head symbolized in the center. She opened the doors to see dozens and dozens of men and women shadowed in the room standing around a center table with three figure heads at the end of the table. She cautiously stopped and stood glancing at the shadowed figure people glaring at her.
The man in the middle sneered and tapped his fingers against the table. “Karly Brinks, we have summoned you here today because we have had our psychics decipher the signs in the galaxy.”
“What was that of…” Karly asked uncertain.
“There is a child born of power that could destroy us. We have made it our business to rule the Pisces Age with absolute rule, but this new age leaves us ambiguous as to what to make of it.” The man said.
“What do you desire of me?” Karly interrogated.
“We need you to find this child. The Aquarian Watcher, knows of this child by now. We need to locate this child and destroy it.” The man continued. “We are at risk for conquering everything now. This child holds great power. We first thought to use this child, but my superiors believe that destroying the child is best.”
Karly nodded and began to leave, but the man’s voice stopped her. “Karly, this is your task. The Celic Group failed in acquiring the Aquarian Watcher and was severely punished. Remember failure is not an option with the Light Group.”
Karly bowed her head and quickly left the room. As she marched down the hallway, Karly knew that she had to find the child soon or her own position would cost her.
The man leaned back in his chair and touched his face apprehending that this task would be too great for such a low-level operative but his important people were split doing other things. He turned to his other people around him.
He scratched his head and pointed to shadowy figures in amongst them. “Ceresin, Eagan
and Grody, I want you to take on the position of executing the next phase of Aquarian Age.”
Three men’s eyes sharpened slightly with slits and sneered then disappeared into the darkness. The man licked his lips in a lizard like way and turned back to his men in the darkness.

Gaia stepped back and forth looking at the earth below her. She glanced over at Aquarian who was pouring water into the streams. She sighed heavily and walked over to him.
“They know of the prophesy that will destroy them, Aquarian. What shall we do?” Gaia said hesitantly.
“The prophesy has been long set before I came in being the new guardian, Gaia. The child of legend will come and it will be cited.” Aquarian said patiently.
Gaia glanced through the water mirror watching the groups of the Light Group Corporation search for the child. Three men in similar stature wearing different colors, black for Ceresin, green for Eagan and off white for Grody. Each man had a slit in their eyes but were covered up by colored contacts that were brown. Their eye shaped were almond and they stood strong and tall. Ceresin appeared Australian, Eagan appeared Canadian and Grody appeared American. Each man had spikey short brown hair and strong jawlines. Each man wore shades and they echoed the Light Group Corporation’s motto of excellence. Gaia continued to gaze at them as they were the three men that would bring down the Aquarian Age and were the real takers. Aquarian peeked up and stopped pouring the water.
