Chapter 8: Do Not Meet Your Idols
A Conduitor is one of the most powerful beings in the world, chosen vessels of celestial power, acting as living conduits between the mortal world and the cosmic forces of the Zodiac.
They don't just wield magic; they enforce the will of the stars themselves.
Their power isn't cultivated through effort or training, it's granted, flowing almost directly from their bound Zodiac Sign.
In this world, magic isn't fueled by an internal energy pool but channeled through one's Connection to the Zodiacs.
A person's magical potential is set in stone from birth, dictated by their celestial alignment through their Natal Birth Chart.
No amount of training can change their core power, only their skill in wielding it.
And standing before her was Anastasia Velmont, one of the rare twelve Conduitors.
Verena had adored her.
Out of all the heroines, Anastasia was the one she admired most.
Shrewd, disciplined, and every bit the embodiment of a Capricorn.
A true girlboss before the term even existed.
