《Missions from God: Pisces》SodiumChloride

2、Chapter 1

　　The sun climbed slowly toward to sky warming the land with its radiant heats. One of Velothi’s most popular street; Appleville famous for its deserts were filled with the smells of freshly baked delights; alluring hungry travellers, animals and a… goddess

　　Pisces was partially covered by the shadow of the alley, but even the darkness cannot hide the illumination of those dazzling aqua hairs just bursting to show their existence. The aquamarines piece on her forehead added charm to her already outstanding beauty. The bottom of her little white, frilly, off shoulder, one piece dress was held tightly her hands. Her ocean like eyes looked fixedly at the opposite bakery shop so tenderly, so passionately, so filled with desire on a piece of bread…

　　“Ah, the soft texture of the crumb, the crispy nature of the crust” Pisces examined as she takes another deep breath “Such smell, such flavour, it can only be a Bolillo!! Can’t believe the mortals can cook such delicious food…” Pisces took another sniff and allowed herself to be lure into the bakery like many others.

　　The shopkeeper’s eyes beamed with delight as Pisces walked in: oh boy, look at that dress, those jewelleries, that high class aura that none can manifest. “What would you like madam Cakes, cookies, bread just name it and I’ll have it” the chubby shopkeeper claimed.

　　“Oh I’ll love to have some of those delicious breads but…” Pisces sighed depressingly “I have no money!” She muttered, tears filling her eyes as she raise her head again. “Oh please kind gentlemen; would you spare me some bread”

　　Even though Pisces look so very pitiful the shopkeeper took his eyes of that beautiful face and those soul sucking eyes: my god, almost agreed to give her my shop. The shopkeeper still managed to answer firmly “No, I’m sorry madam this is a business!”

　　Pisces left the bakery empty handed and sad but she should be glad that she did not get beaten out of the shop. The world is unfair, if Pisces is an ugly, fat, pimple face, over size woman that has absolutely no sight of elegance the shopkeeper wouldn’t even talked to her in the first place and if Pisces asked for free breads with that appearance she wouldn’t even have a chance to walk out that door by herself. So once again Pisces has escaped a problem due to her angelic beauty.

　　‘I should leave this street; it’s too tempting for me to stay here any longer.’ Pisces thought to herself as she stumbled out of Appleville Street. Pisces wondered aimlessly to a quiet grass field surrounded by gigantic trees then suddenly a voice popped up “Pisces!! What are you doing We are supposed to do the mission given by god!!”

　　The violet on Pisces’s head flew down by itself and slowly evolved into a little girl no bigger than a man’s palm. “Oh no, the mission, I’ve totally forgot about it! Piscean, why didn’t you tell me earlier” cried Pisces. Piscean pouted her face, her dark purple pigtails swing from one side to another as she flew herself up in front of Pisces’s face and placed one hand on her hip and remaining hand pointing at Pisces “How can I remind you when you are in public”

　　Piscean is very crossed right now; it’s not the first time since she was created that she wanted to change master. Piscean rolled her eyes at the sight of Pisces panicking, for the thousandths time she wishes her master was some other signs like Cancer; so gentle, kind and more importantly so dreamy! It’s every pixie’s dream to marry someone like Cancer. Piscean got herself involved in her thoughts while Pisces continues to panic about her mission which hasn’t even been opened yet. In some ways this master and familiar set is very similar and compatible with each other.

　　It was Piscean that first came back to reality, seeing her master still roaming around panicking she could not take it anymore “Stop moving! You should start by OPENING the message!” she shouted on top of her lungs.

　　“Oh that’s right! Opening the message,” Pisces unwrapped the scroll and read it slowly “thou shalt look upon families for the reincarnation of my daughter…”

　　Pisces and Piscean both stood dumbfounded by their newly profound mission… just that Pisces shocked with worries and Piscean excited. “Ha! You can finally show those other signs what you’re made of!” Piscean grinned imagining herself being on top of her fellow sign pixies, finally I can stand up proud, no one will laugh this time if I finish this glorious job of finding the family. “Pisces, this is your chance to show them that you are not clumsy! Think about it, fate has decided upon you to do this dignify duty! You won’t be the last again!” Piscean continued babbling her wonderful future as if she has already completed the mission already.

　　Unfortunately Pisces did not share her little familiar’s happiness all she sees is her miserable life caused by the failure of this ‘honourable mission’. Family… being one of the most important factor of growth, the wrong choice might end up as a disaster, Pisces sighed knowing her ability it will be a problem to even start searching for the perfect family, she isn’t wise like Aquarius nor smart like Libra or scheduled like Virgo… she’s just Pisces; the clumsy, forgetful, emotional and useless star sign.

　　The twelve star signs are all numbered by the distance of the house that they ruled in to God’s palace and Pisces’s house just happened to be the longest distance from God’s palace so she was marked as the twelfth astrological sign. Actually Pisces has thought too deeply into this, the number pattern does not have anything to do with her power or wisdom just that Pisces is too sensitive to those around her.
　　Piscean finally notices that her master, Pisces has stopped talking and panicking “What’s wrong Pisces Aren’t you happy” Piscean doesn’t understand the conflicts going on inside Pisces heart “We might even be able to beat Aquarius! Then you won’t be last anymore.” Clearly Piscean has no idea about the numbering system either.

　　“I… I don’t know if I am up for this…” Pisces whispered softly “Beside I’m quite satisfied with my current ranking and I think we should stay as we are now and they are all really nice to me and I can feel that they care for me.”

　　Piscean raged at the Pisces “PISCES! Have some spirit in you!” but as soon as she shouted she realised she was rather harsh. Inevitably Pisces started to tear up again, “Wait, I mean we can try to prove to them that we can do this alone without their helps,you know” Piscean chattered flying back to Pisces shoulder “We can do this.” She smiled patting her pitiful master on the face.

　　“I… I’ll try my best.” Pisces smiled back wiping away some tears that has slipped out “But how should we do this” Pisces asked.

　　Piscean rolled her eyes again questioning herself once again why Pisces is her master, why is it that every time something goes wrong it is me who have to comfort her and take care of her Isn’t she the once who is supposed to take care of me… Oh boy this is going to be a long journey… Piscean sighed, playing dead on Pisces’s shoulder.

　　“Piscean Are you alright” Pisces asked with worry in her voice, Piscean always seem to suddenly stop talking “I’m getting kind of hungry…maybe we should try get some food first”

　　“Food! Don’t you think your mission is much more important We must be the first one to finish! So come on, let’s go look for families!” Piscean shouts energetically, punching her fist in to the air trying to put some spirit into her master.

　　Sadly, it didn’t seem to work, “But…but I’m really hungry,” Pisces’ large blue eyes became watery again, “and if I don’t eat enough I have no energy to do anything.” It’s lucky how Piscean doesn’t need to eat anything, so she doesn’t have to go through the pain of hunger.

　　“But god didn’t give us any money, and you saw what happened, those shopkeepers aren’t going to give us any food for free.” Piscean said while pouting. Why does humans need to eat Why can’t they be like gods who can just absorb energy from the universe

　　And once again the master and familiar fell in to silence, both wondering about an issue that has troubled millions of human throughout the history. Food.

　　Moments later Pisces broke the silence first, “Piscean, I know what to do now!” said Pisces with a big smile “To get food, we must have money; to get money, we must find a job! So let’s go” Pisces’ face brightened with spirits.

　　Piscean stood in mid-air staring at her master who is walking towards the busy street, her aqua hair tied loosely with a white ribbon swings from side to side, corresponding with the movement of her dress as she walks. Piscean starts to wonder if she should just leave her master right now, whenever Pisces seems suddenly confident about what she’s doing, it usually isn’t something smart... if she just fly towards the opposite direction right now, maybe Pisces wouldn't realise…

　　But before Piscean could carry out her plan Pisces turned and called out to her “Come on Piscean let’s go!” her face glows with confidence…something Piscean really doesn’t want to see.

　　“What are you going to do, Pisces” asked Piscean while she clings onto a piece of aqua hair, as if this would stop Pisces’s movement.

　　“Don’t worry just watch and see.” Pisces said with a mysterious smile.

　　“But…” before Piscean could finish her sentence, they’ve already arrived at a busy street, to prevent any human from seeing her, Piscean turned back to a violet sitting quietly on Pisces’ aqua blue hair.
