Chapter 0: Beginning
A young lady tiredly raises her hand up to the sky. Sparking dazzling like presents from divinity, her hair blends in with the entirety blackness of the sky.
She has never met anyone with the same hair color as hers. As a matter of fact, not once did she meet anyone ever since she gained consciousness. The foreign sensation when the tussock grasses touch her palm makes her involuntarily nervous. Mouthfuls of cold air filled her lungs. Familiar, yet unfamiliar. Because it was so thin that she has to hold her neck and cough out dryly, making rough sounds from her own throat for the first time.
"— Sis, are you alright?"
The girl was startled by the sudden appearance. She stood up immediately but her body went on strike and she collapsed.
For the first time, the girl felt a body temperature of a human. It was hot, but it also wasn't, it was warm, like the feeling of life. The hands that were supporting her were smaller than hers, like the hands of a child. Naive and innocent, yet it was also unusually precise.
"Wa— watch out! Ah, are you doing fine?"
The long strands of black hair shook slightly with the rhythm of her shaking head. She doesn't feel any murderous intention from this boy. It was just that his sudden voice startled her without leaving her time to think, like a long ago mechanism that was mended into her head. The boy helped the girl sit down safely. They then fell into a moment of silence, until the boy speaks up:
"My name— is Taurus. Will you... tell me your name?"
For the first time, the girl sees clearly the appearance of the boy named Taurus. His short, soft hair was held back by a headband on his forehead. Above all, it was black, just like hers. However, the color of his starry eyes was the opposite of her blueness, a warm yellow that could be compared to the bright stars in the sky, the first thing she has ever seen since she had had her conscious.
As she immediately fell into a trance in the dim light of the stars in the sky by instinct, she utters each word:
"Capri— corn... My name, is Capricorn."
"Wa— Nice to meet you, Capri sis!"
Capricorn's eyes widened at the overly welcoming warmth of the strange boy. Maybe everything will be okay.
Taurus's smile seemed to light up the endless darkness of the deep forest.
"Your hair... it's so soft."
"...?"
Capricorn raises her hand to gently stroke Taurus's head. His hair moves, and then that smile blooms again, returning her first smile ever on this land.
"Behave well, Taurus."
"Sure thing,— sis!"
For the first time, Capricorn feels the presence of life.
