Kingdoms have always relied on their people to bring them prosperity, and this story is no different. There are two kingdoms in heaven, those who serve the east and those who serve the west. And they are at risk of extinction. Many people have stopped believing in them, and because of this they are fading. In one last ditch effort to stay alive, both sides have sent forth 12 zodiac incarnates to try and get the world to once more believe that there is life after death. But only one kingdom may prosper.
This Rp is based in modern times. People no longer believe in Gods, angels, or demons. Its time to Remind them.
Both Kingdoms are searching for a way to get people to have faith in them again, whether the methods used are positive or negative is up to each individual incarnate.

 Lord Rhaze Alexander sat comfortably in his large, red velvet armchair. His toes wiggled happily as he moved his hands artfully back and forth in front of him to the Bach playing loudly in his headphones. He stopped occasionally to reach over and take a sip of apple juice out of his large coffee mug. Then he commenced his hand waving. Lord Rhaze did this for a few minutes longer, then sighed and took off his headphones and started going over the large pile of mail on his side table.
300 less believers than last month... These people are ridiculous. How can a human truly be "human" without having faith. Rhaze thought to himself as he went through his mail. There was a few letters of prayer from local churches asking for typical mortal things like peace and happiness, though Rhaze usually left those unanswered for the simple fact that the only way to truly be happy with life and the people in it was to be happy with yourself. He moved onto another letter telling him about his newest zodiacs and what they were up to. He finished the letter and took another sip of apply juice.
Moving about his large manor, Rhaze went to the kitchen where he decided to make himself a fine cake. "….Whisk until fluffy….and add to bring finishing touches on the cake" Rhaze read aloud from a Martha Stewart cook book. "Too bad you didn’t take my deal to be a zodiac Martha, we could have made miraculous decorations in this house." Rhaze sighed as he closed the hardback and placed it back upon the white marble counter. The kitchen was modern, stocked with the lasted innovations in kitchenware and hinted of maintenance by a world class chief.
Rhaze began the tedious process of adding little red flowers onto the two tiered chocolate cake. He then added a HUGE amount of little white sprinkles that ended up making the cake look more like a large coconut up top instead of the dark chocolate it was. “Woo-la! Se magnefic!” Rhaze exclaimed with a kiss into the air as he stepped back to admire his creation. After which, he moved it over to the other large white counter of his kitchen to cool. Then Rhaze took out his iPhone and called up Ezio. " Hey, hows the hunt going?" He asked as he moved over to the black Kenmore fridge to get himself a large glass of milk. " I heard that Ophelia has 200 more believers...The girl is good, I must admit, so please try to step up your game deary." He said happily as he poured out his mug with apple juice remnants in it, then washed it out and filled it with milk. After hanging up with his zodiac, Rhaze went to the counter and cut himself a large piece of the dark chocolate truffle cake.
Eying the luscious cake, he reached over and took a bite. “Ahhhh" Rhaze sighed in chocolate bliss. Licking his fingers, he finished off his slice of the rich treat and put his plate in the porcelain sink, then he covered the cake and moved put into the large garden in the corridor of his manor. Meanwhile... Lord Komei Noa stood motionless at the balcony of his castle, staring out at the land below. He wanted nothing more than to show his powers to the world, to make them beg to be under his rule. But he knew he couldn't do it without serious consequences. He was startled from his thoughts by one of his servants tapping him on the shoulder. "M'Lord, Olivia has sent word. She has gained quite the favor of the humans in the region. She wanted me to alert you that she would be moving out to a newer area in the next few days." Lord Komei nodded to the man, dismissing him. Turning from the balcony, the man moved gracefully into his large dinning hall. It was lavished and had the finest of silvers and golds adorning the large mantle above the hearth. The man moved in front of the fire and warmed his hands, damming himself for choosing such a high altitude for his home. He yelled for his robe and slippers, and to his delight they were fetched in haste. Frogs. His large, plush green slippers were frogs and his robe was decorated with little lilies.
Komei wrapped the robe around himself and shuddered, the warmth slowly but surely seeping into his bones. Then he went into his studio to paint away his troubles. This time they took the form of butterflies, red and purple, splattered across the page. He hated them, butterflies, but not for reasons most people would. They were beautiful and frail, like the mortals he wanted to conquer. Yet they were so strong. The elements battered them and torn their wings, yet they prevailed and lived on. They didn't give in. He didn't take it well when someone or something didn't give in to his will. And therefore both butterflies and humans bore the Lord's hatred. Chuckling to himself for his unexpected tantrum caused by the painting, Komei finished his painting for the moment and went to take a bubble bath.

[[ Leonardo Lionheart ]]
_________________________________________________________________________
Leonardo let out a very loud sigh as he looked to the very large manor. How could a man like Rhaze live in such a place as others rotted in the dirt? Shrugging the thought from his mind he walked up to the large doors and slammed his palm onto the door, ignoring the doorbell. Why should he ring a bell when he could get a louder response with his fist? Leo tended to be like that whenever he was talking to someone. Straight forward and to the point. "Wonder if this guy is the real deal.." He said softly and groaned slamming his fist against the wood harder. What was taking this guy anyway? He took a step back and fiddled with his fingertips. They were sharp to the tip and made a clicking noise as he began to rub them together. "Figures...Just like my old king...Always busy with his own things." He said with another huff, still waiting...

 ≈Ezio Ravenna≈
≈The Water Bearer≈
Ezio rolled his eyes when he heard their "King"'s words through the phone he had. "Sorry Chief." He said, he usually called Rhaze 'Chief'. "This job is a lot easier for women. There are about two men born for every woman, so I think that's self explanatory. But I'll try anyways." He was still not used to having a phone, living in poverty or being a slave during his human years. Ezio was quite new at this business of recruiting believers, he had only been a zodiac for four years. He wondered why they even had to do this, why not just showcase their powers to the world instead of convincing them through mostly regular means. Ezio's followers were usually women, since he had a talent from his eighteen human years of "talking" with women.
As he walked his two silver gourds hung from his hips, making a quiet clinking noise against his waist as he moved. Ezio passed a fountain and decided to put on a show for the public. He walked onto a fire escape and climbed onto a roof so no one could see him. He focused all his attention on the fountain. All of the water in the fountain suddenly shot up and hovered in the air. A few people screamed and others just gawked. "Do not be afraid, this is Aquarius the water bearer." Ezio said in a booming voice, he had a deep voice so it didn't sound odd when he commanded people. "You humans have been losing faith in the Zodiac! If you stop believing, we will die, and you won't want to see a world without us!" He boomed unfaltering.
As he spoke the hovering water formed his words. At the end of his speech there was a paragraph written out of water floating ten feet in the air. Some screamed and ran away, most bowed, others took pictures with their phones or cameras. Ezio had scanned the crowd from his roof and guessed that there were probably a hundred people down there. Out of the hundred he guessed that around half of them were bowing. Then he took into account the internet, the news, and all of that jazz. He figured at least a hundred people would start to follow Aquarius, and therefore the rest of the Western Zodiac. He sent a text to Rhaze, which took him quite a while since he was very new at it, that said 'If you turn on the Austrian news you should see what I just did. Putting into account the people who were bowing in the square, I'm guessing that at least a hundred and twenty people will believe. Just keeping you posted'. Nothing was abbreviated since again, Ezio was new at this. Also I forgot to mention that Ezio is currently recruiting in Austria.
Ezio got down from his roof and started to walk along the streets. He saw two girls, who were no bad looking them selves, looking at him and whispering. Ezio smirked, "Make that one hundred and twenty two." He thought as he walked over to them. He usual wasn't one to start conversations, but he did have an oddly unpredictable streak, plus it was his job to convince people. After a little bit of talking he wrote something on a piece of paper for them, it said 'Aquarius', and since they had seen the news, they looked at him in shock. He just winked and walked down the path

Rhaze answered the door sheepishly, poking his blond head out just enough to see it was Leo. Smiling, the man threw the huge door open and grabbed his friend by the arm, yanking him inside. Then, like a paranoid drug dealer, he shut the door down to a crack and kept his head peeked out, looked a round a bit, then slammed the door shut. "Leo!" Rhaze said with a squeal. It happened to him occasionally, especially when he was happy. " What have you been up to? He asked as he walked back into the kitchen. Rhaze was still wearing his little white apron, covered in all sorts of food splatters. It almost looked like he did it on purpose. Brushing his hands off on the once white garment, he went to the sink to wash his hands. Rhaze jumped as he felt his phone vibrate. "Oooh! A text." He took out his iphone once more and opened the message from Ezio. Reading it, he frowned. Oh boy...I wonder what the hot head did this time. Sighing, Rhaze went over to the small T.V. resting on the kitchen counter and pushed the power button. He took a sip of his milk, which was still on the counter near his huge cake, and listened carefully.
"... There have been reports pouring in from Austria this morning as a crazy man set off a bomb in Vienna's Donner fountain. Some people say he was mad, shouting from the top of a local bakery that he was a Zodiac. The man called himself Aquarius, and said that God was angry for humans not believing. Some locals believe this was a true religious happening, others say the man was just insane. At this point his whereabouts are unknown. Police are on the lookout..."Rhaze ground his teeth slightly, taking out his phone once more. He sent a long, curse filled text to Ezio, telling him that THAT was the reason he wanted everything discrete and done one human at a time. They were unpredictable beings, and tended to panic at the slightest hint of something strange happening. One of their flaws, Rhaze supposed.
He looked over at Leo and sighed. "We're probably going to have to go to Austria and fix this mess...Would you like to take on the task or shall I?" He asked politely as he dumped his cup of milk in the porcelain sink.

≈Ezio Ravenna≈
≈The Water Bearer≈
Ezio decided to check the news to see what they were saying. He went into an alley and poured one of his silver pitchers into the ground. The water seeped through the wall and into the house. Ezio's eyes glowed a light blue and he could see through the water. He was lucky that he had happened to pick a house that had a T.V. and were watching the news. When he read what happened it was hard to contain himself. The water came back to Ezio's pitcher and soon after Ezio started cracking up. "They think... it... was a... bomb?!...." Ezio said between breathes, his impulsive side still showing instead of his usually detached self. "Wow, humans will never cease to amaze me! Even though I've only been a zodiac for four years!" Then he got the text from Rhaze and for some reason laughed a little more. He sent a text back saying, 'Sorry chief, I knew they'd take it badly but I didn't think they'd call it a bomb, you don't have to come, I'll fix that mess myself'. He sent it when he had finally stopped laughing and decided to fix things.
He found the news building and walked inside, saying he had an explanation for the crazy, Zodiac man. He told them that he was his mentally insane brother who thought for some reason he was the zodiac god Aquarius. Since the unbelieving newscasters would basically conjure up some idea about how any explanation would work, such was the idiocy of humans, so they believed Ezio. "Problem solved. Humans are so dumb." He thought.

[[ Leonardo Lionheart ]]
_________________________________________________________________________
Leonardo rolled his eyes as he noticed Rhaze peak his head out the door. Then suddenly felt his hand yank him inside. "You honestly think I was followed.." He said in a irritated tone. Rhaze was way to nervous when it came to people. But soon enough Rhaze was back inside and greeting him happily. Following him, he let out a huff as he rubbed his neck "Not to much. Went over to the South Pole and wised some people up. Who would have guessed some fire and a school of fish would convince them. Counted around Seven Hundred. Give or take a few more or less." He reported and turned his attention to the T.V. screen.
With a loud huff he shook his head and growled in a animal tone "Ezio has been busy I see. Always getting himself mixed up with others in the oddest way. That's why I rather avoid the water personally." He grunted and looked to Rhaze. "Let him fix it up. Shouldn't be to much of a challenge. Besides, if the people wanna see a bomb. I'd gladly show them one." He said in his usual irritated tone. Leo was angered easily and he didn't like the human race. "Humans are so primitive. Always building empires and trying to best each other. I have been around long enough to watch the future become history." He said and looked out the window. What a mess. He began to wonder what Rhaze would have him do now...

Lord Alexander giggled at Leo's more than apparent irritation. He couldn't help it, the guy was cute when he was angry. He sat back against the counter, his phone in his hand. He read Ezio's report out loud and smiled. He has a point. Humans tend to be a bit aloof. I wonder why the original would make them that way...Oh well.. Then he looked up to Leo when he asked about what he was supposed to do. "Well, Olivia has moved on to western Europe to gain more followers. Perhaps you should follow along and see who we can get." Rhaze said, moving towards the cabinet to grab a clean plate for Leo. He just has to try my triple truffle chocolate cake!
Squealing happily, the man ran around the kitchen, humming to himself as he cut a huge slice of the rich cake for Leo. Then he set it down in front of the man on the counter and leaned over the counter, handing him a fork. Then he waited expectantly. 
Olivia watched idly as the train moved along the countryside, the topography of the land made her desire the mud under her bare feet. The girl yawned and turned towards one of the train's candy cart girls, signaling for her to come over so she could buy some Starbursts. The woman came over and Ophelia bought a bag of the tart candies and popped a few in her mouth. Making a squished up face, the girl smiled and clenched her fists. 300 people in eastern half of Europe. That is definitely not enough. I'm going to have to use more magic this time... The small girl thought to herself as she ate another candy, her face only contorting a small bit this time. It would be a few more days till she reached Italy. There, she was sure she would be able to go to the courtyard of the Vatican where she could show off some of her healing powers and maybe reach a few hundred more people than she had in the last few months.

[[ Leonardo Lionheart ]]
_________________________________________________________________________
Leonardo raised a small brow as Rhaze began to move about eagerly. Was he some kind of child reincarnation or something? "Ophelia...Sure. Why not. Not like I have much to do anyways." He stated and looked to Rhaze once again as he began to prance around happily in his kitchen. "If you put that energy into something progressive we might get somewhere." He commented and grinned slightly. A rare sight since Leo barely ever did anything besides frown and scowl. As Rhaze pushed the piece of cake towards him he raised his brow again and looked to him. Shrugging he took the fork and chiseled himself off a small bite sized piece. "This will kill you faster than a cigarette." He stated before taking the small piece into his mouth. It was pretty good to tell the truth. Leo simply nodded and set the fork down on the plate. "Save me a piece for the next time I drop in." He said and turned walking back to the door. As he exited he gave a small wave to Rhaze and exited the manor. "Ophelia huh? She will probably be scared of me at first if I just barged in..." He said to himself softly and closed his eyes, picturing her. A train..Italy it appeared. He let out a sigh and looked to where he guessed Europe was. Muttering a few words he slowly began to fall apart. Like a flame in the rain. Then he appeared next to a set of train tracks. Loud whistles could be heard as it rounded a corner. As it passed there was a split second where his eyes locked onto her's. Then the train roared by. Hopefully she would catch the drift he was trying to imply. Rhaze wanted them to work together. The Sheep and the Lion. Smart choice.
