Virgo's POV
"Pisces."
I nudged the teal haired girl on the shoulder in attempt to wake her up. She was still snoring on the chair I had placed her in as her head dangled down further."P- pisces. Come on." I finally shook her awake. She fluttered her eyes open and looked around as her gaze landed on Sagittarius, who was speaking to Scorpio about who knows what.
"What happened?" She muttered. I chuckled. "V- vulpeca turned out to be a demon. A man called A- andromeda came to save us. W- we've patched you all up a-and we're still looking for a cure for Gemini." I summerised while stuttering making her nod."Well then we better carry on with that." She got up and grinned at me. I could feel myself blushing so I speedwalked over to Aquarius and Capricorn.
"C.... Cu.... C-u-r....." Aquarius was attempting to read the cover of a scarlet red book with Capricorn by her side trying his best not to go crazy.
"C..... Cure?" Aquarius said not sure if she was right looking up at Capricorn.
"Yes..." Capricorn said getting impatient."F..... Fu....no, fo.... Four?" She asked.
"Goddanm it, your case is worse than I thought." Capricorn muttered.
I looked over Aquarius's shoulder and read. "Cure for dark spells?""I'm useless!" Aquarius sighed placing the book on a table. I patted her on the shoulder in a comforting way and picked up a random book from a huge pile that was on the table. It read 'the great book of cures to every magical curse no matter the intensity' with no author name written anywhere. I skimmed trough the context until I found the chapter for 'curses that involves animal transformation'
I found the page, sat down on the wooden floor and started reading."I got it!" I shouted softer than anticipated, I hoped everyone would hear my shout and come rushing over but seems I didn't shout loud enough, only Pisces who was nearby heard my faint voice. "Did you say something?" She asked me making me nervous.
"I-... I g-got it. I- I found the cure!" I shouted a little louder making the rest of the royals and my siblings finally hear me. They all huddled around me and sat on the floor in a very compressed semi-circle."Really? Can I see it?" Aries asked with curiosity. I gulped as I got even more nervous at the amount of eyes staring at me. I let out a soft and barely audible sqeak and turned the book around and placed it on the floor to show it to them.
After a few puzzled and confused faces, Cancer looked up at me. "Are you feeling okay?" He asked as if he was worried about my sanity. Why wouldn't I be? I mentally asked myself but kept quiet and looked down at the book. Was there something wrong with it?
"I don't think I even know what language that even is!" Taurus commented.
"It lookes like aincent script but I can't seem to match it with any of the languages I know of." Leo muttered also very confused.I looked at all their faces dumbfounded. My anxiety decreased as my confusion increased. What were they talking about? That was clearly English on the book and definitely not some sort aincent language.
"Virgo?" Sagittarius asked with conern as he raised a brow at me making me roll my eyes. "Can....can you understand this?" He asked.
"Of course. It's normal English. It's not an aincent language," I muttered.
"Uhh..." Everyone looked at me wierdly as if I was mental. But suddenly Libra looked like as if a light bulb flickered on in his brain. "It's you power!" He grinned.
"What?" Capricorn asked confused.
"Think about it. Aries can spawn video games into real life. Taurus can speak to animals. Scoprio has super speed. Capricorn can control plants. Pisces can heal anyone in a surprisingly short time. It makes sense that Virgo can understand any language, we're all slowly generating superpowers. We still have no idea why but so far it's helped us." Libra grinned knowingly. "Virgo, what does it say?" He asked turning to me.All eyes fell on me yet again making me stutter furiously. "Uh, I Uhm..*cough* it's a cure for any sort of animal curse." I said starting to feel more confident. "See, it says here that all we have to do is preform the exact spell that the Witch who curesed Gemini used to turn him into a half bird giving him only fifteen years of live, and add some Wolfowl blood, a bit of its feathers and some of its fur into the mixture and chant the words : Wolzandium aniciursim."
"What's a wolfowl?" Aries asked dumbfounded.
"A very rare and magical creature found in the darkest of forests with the head of a wolf and the body of an owl." Capricorn and I said in sync before staring at each other in suspicion that one of us were reading the other ones mind. "I memorised that from a book not too long ago." Capricorn muttered."Me too." I murmured.
"Great now we got two nerds in the group. Just when I was starting to get used to the nerd I've been living with my whole life." Sagittarius rolled his eyes making Gemini snigger weakly. Looking at him, her was in really bad shape. He had bags under his eyes, is feathers were falling off grim his wings, his eagle like legs started to go as skinny as a chicken's leg instead, he was as pale as ever and looked a bit dizzy in my opinion.
"Okay, firstly we need to find how the witch cursed Gemini and create the same potion." Muttered Aquarius. A lightbulb clicked in my head and I turned the book to myself and skimmed along the pages until I found the one I was looking for.
"How to curse someone and turn them into half animals. Also known as animification." I read.
"Animimimi- what?" Aries asked. Ignoring her, I continued reading. "A hair piece and the signature of the person you want to curse, and the blood and fether and or fur of the animal you want to fuse with your subject. Mix in a cauldron and chant the spell : animazam dyndifis.""Cool, that part should be easy -ouch!- hey!" Gemini flinched as Leo plucked out three or four strands of his ginger hair and proceeded to place it into a packet. "Ingredient number one acquired." She announced.
"Perfect timing. It's time to hit the road Zodiacs." Andromeda announced from behind me making me jump at the word 'zodiacs'
"What did you call us?" Capricorn asked standing up. "You kids don't know what zodiacs are?" He asked in shock.
"Of course not." Pisces said dumbfoundedly.
"Do weez look like nerds to you?" Taurus asked raising a brow then started giggling with Pisces. Aries rolled her eyes. "Oh, stop it with the quotes." She muttered."Alright, then just forget what I said." Andromedasaid as he led up back into the elevator.
"But we don't know which specific bird type Gemini got fused with." Cancer blurred out. Scoprio inspected Gemini's wings closely. "I'd say from the color of the wings, a parrot." She said.
"Okay, parrot it is!" Aires announced.
