Aquarius walks down the roadside by her mother towards the palace. In the distance she could hear Libra calling to his giant dog. She glanced over at her mom realizing this is the longest she has seen her without her mask for a long time after her accident.  After the silence, Aquarius couldn't stand it anymore something was nagging at the back of her mind. "Are you okay mom?"  her mom sighs, "Aquarius, I am not entirely sure if I will ever be okay. I have seen a lot of startling actions today. I fear that we might be coming into the age of a -" and as if the whole of Atlantis read Aqua's mind a Virgo messenger arrives upon a grey stallion and hands a message to Aqua.  

"Queen Virgo's council wants to see you Aquarius Ophi the 25th." Aqua stops still while all the color drains from her face as she reaches for the message and reads it. as soon as she did, the messenger rode back towards the palace. 

On Behalf of Queen Virgo, you are called upon for a meeting with the council. 

The council has never called for any asset before. Why me?

"Mom, why me?" She could tell her mom was trying to comfort her, "I do not think it's anything bad my sugar plum." Aqua gives her mom a hug it was not often that they hugged each other.  Libra runs by on his giant tan dog, "Vale slow down!" His dog turns a corner almost throwing Libra off as he grips for dear life. She hears her mom snicker, "Aquarius go talk to the council, this is very important if they had summoned an asset one of the legacy families."

Aqua takes a deep breath and pushes open the doors to the debate council. She walks into a dimly lit grand room made of polished white rock. Aqua noticed that lining the walls are banners of the houses. "Aquarius Ophi the 25th, welcome." The deep grand voice of Queen Virgo echoes throughout the room. Aqua did not realize how pretty in person queen Virgo was. she studied her opulent stone crown shining in the light with twelve spokes on top each representing the houses with her dark blonde hair cascading down her shoulders complementing her green eyes and pale skin. 

 She waves a hand, "please come in my child." the arm sleeve of her gold dress flickered in the dimly lit room on the walls as she moved.  Aqua nervously inches her way inside the hall and stands up to the wooden podium as the men and women in grey cloaks stare down at her. She keeps her face on the queen's to not look scared even with her beauty, she was very intimidating. "Today's council session has now begun" the queen hits her gavel twice. "Aquarius do you know why you're here?"
Aqua took this thought into account multiple times. "no ma'am I don't." Queen Virgo smiles a little, "you are here on the account of your lineal gift." She looks down at some papers, "today you demonstrated the power of growing defensive plants and an oak tree. Then, just before you created strong vines. Is this true?" Aquarius gulps and stammers with her words, "y-yes, It is true." Queen Virgo stands, "Then by this being true, where were you during the time of the attack of the undersea palace today?" 

She had to think of this for a moment, she was down in the Undersea today but there was no way that she would have even attacked the palace for she is brought up to defend Atlantis and its counterparts with her life. 

 Aquarius leans up on her podium,  "are you insinuating I was affiliated with something I did not have knowledge of?" 

Queen Virgo stands up, "answer my question please." She says in a threatening voice.

 Aqua leans back her blood beginning to boil, she was about to be accused of a terrorist attack, and the reason they chose her is because of her family's past.  "I was in the undersea archives." One of her council members stands up, "And why were you at the undersea archives when you know very well that the land archives are the same?"

 Aqua calmly backlashes trying her damndest to keep her cool, " I wanted to visit my best friend Pisces, in the Undersea, see we have this thing where we take turns visiting each other." 

Queen Virgo raises her eyebrows, "Why did you go to the archives when you were going to see Pisces?" Aqua's head spins at all the questions, "Because I went to look into my family history we had some digging up to do in my family history." The room falls silent at her loud echoing statement and they begin to whisper amongst themselves. Something is not adding up here! 

The queen takes a breath, "Well, Aquarius Ophi the 25th the truth comes out. Today the undersea palace was attacked by members of house Aquarius."
"NO! It couldn't have been to my house! I want to call a witness!" Aqua grips the edge of her podium to the point of her knuckles being almost white.

 "I demand to call a witness!"

 Virgo leans forward a little, "okay you may have your witness, who is it, dearie?" Aqua looks at the council members, "I call princesses Pisces to stand for me." Virgo waves her hand, "very well then. Guards, set Aquarius Ophi the 25th on the holding bench until princesses Pisces gets here." The guards grab Aqua by each arm but she jerks her arms out and glares at them over her shoulder, "I can walk by myself, I'm not going to run, because I'm innocent." A guard snorts, "that's what they all say." He says flatly. 

Aqua rolls her eyes and sits down on the bench to wait for Pisces to arrive. Aquarius began to feel down, as she wrung her hands together. Please, stand up for me.

Several minutes go by as the council conveys their thoughts with each other until Pisces arrives. She pushes the doors open; and the whole room ceases their chatting.
"Queen Virgo, I was requested?" Aqua leans up over the guards, "Pisces I'm innocent please!" A guard snaps at her, "shut your trap!" Aqua shuts up to listen to the hearing. "Where were you when Aquarius arrived at the Undersea?" Pisces taps her fingers, "I was swimming with her then I had to leave to see my father; then the attack happened. When I realized it was members of house Aquarius, I couldn't bring myself to tell Aqua if I met up with her in the archives. I did not know if she is even behind it for I was not with her.  " She was afraid of me when she allegedly saw my house attacking the palace? Queen Virgo bridges her fingers together, "So you have no account of who led the attack or what happened to Aquarius when you left her."
Pisces shifts, "yes, well...no she was swimming with my eel friend Odysseus to the Archives, but Odysseus was not in the archives because he ended up leaving. Aqua alone to her own devices."

Queen Virgo bolts up, "That concludes it then. Any council member that finds Aquarius Ophi the 25th guilty, please stand." Queen Virgo had it out for me the whole time I am innocent of a charge I never did and don't have proof that I  did it. Most of the council members stand up. "NO! That's not a fair trial! How dare you Pisces!" Aqua shouts as the guards pull her up. Pisces looks back at her with a guilty look.  "Aquarius Ophi the 25th, you are hereby sentenced to life in the dungeon for leading a conspiration against the king of the Undersea." The guards grab her arms.  "This was not a fair trial!" 

She closes her eyes concentrating at the ground, in defense she spreads vines across the walls several of which grab the guards. She lashes a hand out at the queen for vines to grab the queen's wrists and ankles, but the queen lashed out with sand and created a dust storm in the room.  She made sure everyone stays for a while. Shouts from the council and queen come out for help, as Aqua makes her way to the door she looks back at the frightened Pisces and shakes her head, "I trusted you Pisces." She then bursts through the doors to see her mother, "Aquarius where are you going?" Her mother trips her with a vine, Aqua reaches deep inside the ground to grow a tree around her mother, she feels the rumble of the ground, " I love you Mom." Aqua loosens the vine as she hears her mother shouting in the distance. Guards begin chasing after her from the palace, I have to get to the untamed forest the guards won't follow me in there.

Aquarius grows giant vines to let her run on the flat rooftops of the city. She hears arrows scream past her, "Stop in the name of the Queen!" Aquarius ignores the guard and traps him in more vines. As she jumps, a building Crowlere accompanies her by flying by her side. She glances over at him. "Get outta here!" Crowlere meows as she stops at the edge of the dark shadowy forest of the outer ring island. She hears the war/search horn "Crowlere go!" She begins running deep into the thick forest, far enough where she could get back on her own, but enough to keep the guards away.
