"Watching the sunset from the cape, Virgo whispered, 'My only wish is to be with you now…'"

Virgo was unaware to the actions be taken by her brethren. The only thing that she knew was that this night was to be the next congregation of the Zodiacs. All would gather together to discuss what was happening to the world around them.
This meeting as scheduled to take place at her residence, so she left to collect the needed refreshments. She traveled to the orchards below her home and harvested fruits of all kinds nourish her fellow Gods. She then journeyed to the local stream to draw upon its ample supply of fresh water.
Knowing the likes of the other Zodiacs, Virgo knew that they would also bring some form of farem be it wild game from the forests or wine from their private stock. This summit would be no different from any other she believed.
The sun was soon growing duller in the sky and Virgo walked back towards her home. The conference would take place at an hour past the setting of the bright star, so she hastened her step as she had much to prepare.
She came upon the cape while the heavenly night sky came into being. She watched the last traces of the sun vanish into the blue sea. Her mind wondered to the one she wished to see more than any other, and a smile came to face at that thought.
She walked up the hill to get the food and drink ready for the meeting.
