In a land far, far away, lies the Kingdom of Fiore, a small peaceful nation filled with magic. There ruled King Jude and Queen Layla. They were kind benevolent rulers who loved each other dearly. They never mentioned it, and continued as there was nothing missing; but, sometimes when they looked at other people's children, their faces grew sad, and their courtiers and attendants knew the reason why, they craved a child.
One afternoon, Queen Layla sat near a small stream that flowed through the castle gardens towards Hargeon harbor. The calm, slow-moving water was littered with lilly pads and the cool, clear serene waters only were disturbed by the ripples of Aquarius, the Queen's celestial spirit and most treasured friend.
"Oh Aquarius, if only I had a child. I could finally be content with the world." Sighed Layla dramatically.
Aquarius rolled her eyes and scoffed at the Queen's dramatic airs.
"Layla please, are you sure you want one of those snot-nosed brats running around the castle?"
"Aquarius! Children are not brats! They are a gift to all of humanity," Layla shouted
"Besides, don't you want to maybe someday settle down and start a family with Scorpio?"
"Yeah maybe SOMEDAY! It's not really an important factor in our relationship right now. I'm content just enjoying his company, and enjoying his body cause he's hot."
Blushing and stuttering madly at what Aquarius had implied, Layla gave her a shocked look. She was about to reply when she was interrupted by the scuttling of a crab.
"Great queen," said the crab, "I am here to tell you that the Celestial Spirit King has agreed to grant your request, ebi" But first you must permit me to lead you into the celestial spirit realm, which, though nearby, has never been seen by mortal eyes. Humans are unable to breathe in our world, I'll take you right away; that is, if you will trust yourself to me."
"Of course Cancer, thank you for asking the great king for me." Layla cordially responded, while standing up, making her way over towards Cancer.
Aquarius clicked her tongue disapprovingly, "Don't be too disappointed if it doesn't work out."
"Don't worry it will."
Layla turned her head around to face Cancer and made ready to depart.
"Ebi, please put on this dress from the spirit world so you will be able to cross over." Layla did as she was instructed, grabbed onto one of Cancer's appendages and was promptly sucked into the next realm leaving a shocked Aquarius behind.
