"If things are alright then you can use me to find him. I'd draw the least amount of suspicion." Taurus says. "I will get the new Aries without fail."

Aries chuckles "All so eager to find him.....I only know he is in Tektallium...he has likely moved....since his country's fall...Use, Taurus and...Ophiuchus' human....to gain his trust...work together....keep eye's open....I think...he has a similar power to you Leo....take good care...of him.....and....and.....do me proud..." the old man says very weakly, before slowly closing his eyes and passing.

Scorpio unfolds a piece of paper as ink begins to form words, including the time of death. "This shall be remembered Aries. I promise you."
Capricorn felt somewhat bummed. "A shame, he was rather cool for an old guy."
Sagittarius frowned, as did Taurus.

"That he was." Ophiuchus says.
Libra frowns saddly "What shall we do for a funeral?"

"Aries is a fire sign, correct?," Virgo says sadly. "We should cremate him on a pyre. It is only fitting.," he suggest solemnly, wiping away a tear from his eye.
Aquarius nods. "It makes...sense...," Aquarius says, choked up. "I...well...excuse me...," she says quietly and leaves the room in a rush.
Virgo sits in a chair and puts his head on one hand. "This never gets easier, even after the passing of so many others during my time...," he comments.
Leo stays leaned against a wall, her head down in thought. "A power...like mine?," she whispers to herself. "I hope it's the fire manipulation and not...the other thing.." She stands up straight and brushes some hair out of her face. "Well, I say let's go with Virgo's suggestion. It's better than just standing around all depressed and the like."

Libra nods "I agree. And we can make a nice urn for him."
"Virgo, you could easily do that." Ophiuchus says. She felt a bit awkward. They were all so sad and she was only the expected amount a person would get when hearing of a death.

"Right, right, yes, I could do that.," Virgo agrees, standing up. He looks at Ophiuchus' awkward expression and smiles weakly. He walks over and puts a hand on your shoulder. "Don't worry Ophi. You didn't know him for as long as most of us have, so it's only natural you wouldn't be as sad about his passing."
He twirls around and heads for the door. "Well, I'll get to work on that urn. Contact me before we hold the funeral, I should have it done by then.," he says to the rest of the room before he walks out and heads to his workshop.
Leo sighs and rubs the back of her head. "I didn't know the guy that much either if it helps Ophi.," she says. "Virgo did though. Him, Aquarius, and Aries were real good friends from what I've heard. It's probably why Aquarius left in such a rush. She...doesn't really have that many friends with the rest of us, so...yeah."

Ophiuchus nods "That makes sense. Perhaps we should find someone to keep her company."
Libra nods "I agree, we are all away so often. She must be awfully lonely. If we keep the Empress here, perhaps she could offer some friendship."
"We need to talk about that later. They want to unite with their people, which won't be an issue if you ask me. They are easy to find." Ophiuchus says

Gemini did not look at all fazed as Aries passed and the other left. She stayed secluded and let the others go about without her input.
She sighed as she looked up, and stared off into space for a moment.
"If we are done here, I would like to take my leave...My skills are needed all over the continent, and I can only be in so many places at a time..." She sighed out.

"Go do what you need to do Gemini, Aries would like that." Scorpio says.
"Wow, you're actually sad." Capricorn says.
Scorpio turns and glares. "I am the one and only Scorpio. No successors, only me. I've seen many deaths in my time and none tore at me more the the death of your predecessor. Excuse me for being sick of it, witless fool." Scorpio turns and walks out.
"I was just trying to say it was a nice change of pace." Capricorn says.
"Think next time. Your comment was ill timed and ill worded." Saggitarius says.
Taurus looks at Aries. "Shall I prep the body? I've set up a few cremations in my time."

Libra nods "Yes, and I will aide you."
Ophiuchus sighs "I will go see how Antonio and the Empress are doing." she says and leaves
Libra watches her, then looks to Taurus "It just dawned on me, you were Tektallian weren't you? The Arcadisian Empress was once a Tektallian noblewoman. Any relation to her or Ophi's knight?"

"Not that I know, though I might have known the Queen's parents. I was once known as the Raging Bull of the Tektallium Knights. I have a son, but he's gone off like a fool to play hero." Taurus says. "None of them know I worked with Scorpio willingly to topple the government. Keep it that way. But they should know of me, I was famous."

"Why do you call her a Queen?" Libra asks "Arcadis is an Empire, not a Kingdom." she chuckles "I apologize, I am picky about such things."
-----
Antonio looks at the door, hearing it unlock.
Ophiuchus enters and shuts the door behind her "Well, he died."
"I'm sorry Ophi." Antonio says
"Don't be, I didn't know him well enough." she sits "He has chosen his replacement though, we may be able to use your help to find him, he is the son of a Knight."
"Oh? Which?" Antonio asks
"The boy's name is Aries Migello."
"Ah yes! Migello! A brilliant Knight! He was a good man. I never met his son, but I knew him well."
"So what, this boy is one of you?" Marielle asks, eating her breakfast.
"Yes." Ophiuchus says. "I intend to convince the others to let you go to the resistance. I may have to accompany you though."

"Wait, what?," Leo says randomly with surprise, Scorpio's words just hitting her. "The only Scorpio? I thought no one had the power to live forever? How does that even work?"

"Scorpio's body is that of ink. Her body as you know it replicates that of her former body. She is aging at a much slower rate but she is the original. The loss of her eye was the loss of mass that got destroyed by an attack. She isn't as organic as we are, though she has borne a child before." Saggitarius explains. "She is cursed with a long, long life."
