Sneak preview of The New Zodiac Heroes...just completed at 55K words....

There was a portal opening there on the Court. 

From it came stepped out another figure. 

It was dressed in dark shade full armor, with a double horned helmet piece. It was an identical figure of Zeus. 

"Hello, brother." The other Zeus voiced out. "You never knew of myself. I am your other ego hidden in the other dimension." 

The darker Zeus, lashed out with the thunder bolts that hit Zeus on his chest, throwing him back to the throne seat. 

"I have come to take over your dimension now." 

Tena of Hantok with her cold ice of Aquarius, and hot lava of Pisces. They formed a sword of short length of ice and fire over her hands. Or the magical shield to protect her.

Sagunto with his sword of Virgo glowed on his katana; no magical creature could withstand its deep burning cuts.

Damen held the trident edged by the Devil himself with the brimstone of hell.

It was Merlin who stood among them in the middle; he held the most gifts not for greed but by offering. He hold the strength of Leo with the cloak of Gemini whose balance on the twins side of magic influences equates all attacks on it to be dispersed on equal strength. The pole on his hand was from Scorpio with its strength and prowess; its sting deadly with its blow deeper drawing none could stand to its venom. The bow and the quiver of arrows from Sagittarius; a weapon of distance and never ending supply from the quiver. He also hold Cancer with its skill with the double short swords.

It was Artemis, the huntress clad in the metal armor chest plate with a short skirt with her limbs protected by the metal cuffs on the lower arms and greaves for the shins, with her feet in a set of leather sandals with the small wing on the outer side. In her right hand was a spear with a long tapered head made of a glowing metal piece, while on her left was the rounded metal shield with the crest of a lightning striking the earth. On her waist was the golden girdle that bound her short sword in the scabbard. She held the wisdom of Libra and the strength of Taurus.

And there is one cat named Calliope.
