Zodiac Island

Life begins for our characters on an island created especially for their occupation by the twelve Lords of the Zodiac and their King.  Although continuous, the story is split up into six episodes, each one being an adventure set around two signs of the zodiac with their responding characters.  I have brought in a little mythology, albeit with a generous helping of poetic licence, but feel that it works! The idea is to highlight the way two very different beings behave in various circumstances and their interaction with one another.  Hopefully with each adventure, individual personality traits emerge as a chain of events unfolds. The story reaches a crescendo with the most important event of the year, when the King of the Zodiac visits the island to oversee the New Year festivities.  A prologue explains how the island came about; how the Lords of the Zodiac found their ideal beings and its occupants are introduced one by one.  The full thirteen representatives of the zodiac, when not starring in a tale, all play supporting roles to extend their influence on the plots.  I have tried to make the pairing up of the zodiac signs interesting, which in itself was a challenge.

Read on and enjoy!
