Please note: this story is on hold until further notice. I hope to focus on and finish my ongoing novel before I return to this project so that I can give it the attention it deserves :) in the meantime, feel free to check out my complete works!

2 days. That was how long my resolution to avoid the ONC prompts lasted.

I might've managed to maintain my resolution if I didn't see a prompt on someone's message board that I couldn't get out of my head.

This was prompt 79:

You are the attendant to one of the Zodiacs. When your Zodiac is mysteriously killed, you are the first one everyone suspects. Forced on the run, avoiding the Zodiacs prove difficult. But when you find evidence that another Zodiac killed yours, will everyone believe you or will they kill you?

So, here I am, about to start a new story despite my last ONC story, which is now a novel, still being incomplete.

Some important information about this story before you dive in:

• This will be heavily Greek-inspired. The zodiacs will be referred to by their Greek names with descriptions alluding to their more well-known names. I'm including an index for reference here in case:

~ Aries - Krios
~ Taurus - Tavros
~ Gemini - Didimoi
~ Cancer - Karkinos
~ Leo - Leon
~ Virgo - Parthenos
~ Libra - Zygos
~ Scorpio - Skorpios
~ Sagittarius - Toksotis
~ Capricorn - Aigokeros
~ Aquarius - Idrochoos
~ Pisces - Ichthis

• This story features a romance between the two female lead characters. If you're not comfortable with this, please don't read further.

Despite my history of converting novella ideas into novels, I'm going to do my best to keep this at a novella length, so that's an exciting new goal to have. Let's see how it goes!

If you're enjoying this story, please consider voting and feel free to leave comments to share your thoughts. I'd love to hear from you!

Happy reading!
