Our Final Stand 5: The Mysterious Twin

We follow Xavier and James through the cave system. They appear very serious, and we're all keeping a bit of a distance. Rainmare was happily skipping and chatting with Moonlight and Lillie. "Liiiiiittle bit weird, but alright." I think to myself. I hear a "AHH!" from the other side of the cave, which I'm assuming came from Ray. "My arm!" Ray says sadly. Lillie groans. "It's a tiny CUT, Ray." She rolls her eyes too. "My cats are attack cats. They claw my arms. You got a tiny cut." I look away. They're probably fighting now. About 5 minutes later, Rainmare lets out a half-scream, which makes everybody jump.

Did I mention she's similar to Moonlight, as in she's energetic and easily made happy? "We're here!" We look around. It's a like a huge cavern, but circle-shaped. Chests are on one wall, what looks like maps are on another, and brewing stands are on the wall opposite to us. Greenery, such as hedges, are around, and flowers in flowerpots. "Feel free to look around. Take any weapons or anything you want, we don't exactly need them." Xavier says to everyone. "SweetPsycho, can we talk to you? ...Alone?" I nod, and walk over to them. While everyone else goes crazy...

"What is it?" I ask. James holds out the book All Known Demons. "Look at the last page here." I flip quickly to the back of the book, and read the page.

Zodiac

''Zodiac is rumoured to be the twin brother of X. Zodiac is the light of the Universe, and X is the dark. Due to that, Zodiac is loved more by humanity. Believers all pray, day and night, in hopes that he will come to save them. Unfortunately, his location is unknown, which makes some believers think it's a sign of the End. Most people, however, are convinced that Zodiac and X are fake, and just a made-up story gone too far.''

I look up. James and Xavier don't look back at me. "We.. we think you should go find him." James says, not making eye contact. "Why?" I ask. "He doesn't exist.. does he?" Xavier laughs. "Of course he does!"
