I began to walk up the long flight of stairs that I had wondered to. This seems so familiar, but from where? I ran my hand across my chest and let my fingertips brush against the bulged flesh through the material of my shirt. The stairs, this mark, their somehow related but how? Why is this so familiar? I looked ahead towards the stairs and saw the steps that seemed to go on forever. "Kris." I turned to see him, the boy from my dreams. Dark hair, serious but soft eyes and his lips curved slightly into a smile. He was dressed in all white like he usually was. I had no idea who this boy was. In the dreams I've been having for the past six years, he's been there with the same soft expression. He feels so important... why can't I remember his name? I took a step towards him and he looked back at the staircase. I looked up at the large staircase once more but when I turned back to the boy, he was gone. Where did he go? Is he the one who led me here? I took a step forward towards the stairs and I felt a small uncomfortable tug at my chest. I ignored it but with each step I took, the tugging would become a stinging, then soon a burning. I look up to see a familiar figure, small round face, wide doe eyes. His hair was no longer a honey blonde, but now a platinum color.

  “Luhan?”    

 

Chanyeol brushed past the leaves and picked up the fragmented stone, blowing dust that was caked into the seams of the engraved pictures. A small smile tugged at his lips as he looked down at the familiar symbol of a raindrop. An image of when he last saw the older boy appeared in his mind and he couldn't help but temporarily loose himself in the memories of when he was with his friends all those years ago. They were all so happy together and he would give anything to find them again but he knew it was only a matter of time before they all reunited. While the moon and sun came together overhead, he turned his attention to his journal where years worth of notes lied in ink. All this time he's been gathering what had happened on the last day, six years ago....     At the last second, Sehun had unlocked the truth to printing, thus at the very last moment, marked Luhan.     "We should travel here next, Hyung." Sehun pointed at the map, tilting it so the glow from the fire could illuminate the maps contents. Luhan smiled softly and nodded. "That seems like a good place, we haven't checked the Bonelands for anyone yet." The younger nodded happily and continued to scan the map. They had been searching for the others for four years, and it had been five years since they had found each other in the desert area where Sehun had first awoken six years ago. The strong winds there made him feel safe, so he occupied there until Luhan stumbled along. They both quickly decided it was only right to find the others so together, they gathered supplies for a year then set off. EXOplanet had been completely different from Earth but Luhan was grateful Sehun had knowledge of the strange planet. Before they could climb into their van, Sehun held Luhan's jacket. The older looked back in question and noticed something in the sky that had the younger's attention. Looking up, he saw an eclipse forming and he suddenly got the feeling something big was about to happen.       Once the last pair printed, MAMA had transported us twelve to EXOplanet, where we all were unfortunately split up and reborn until our reawakening.     D.O walks through the wetlands, hoping, praying that he'll have more luck in finding someone who's familiar. He could barely remember his days on Earth with the others and he's terrified to forget. He'd literally give anything to see Kai again, even Sehun, someone, anyone who he barely even remembers. It's taken him almost a year but he remembers Kai's touches, his kisses, his smiles. The thing that's eating the boy alive though, was the look of horror on Kai's face. He knew he had hurt the boy, and he wanted to fix it. "Is anyone out there?" His deep but powerful voice rang out through the silent air. Nothing but patches of tall grass could be seen and right before he was about to give up, there stood a boy with light brown hair that was spiked up at the front. D.O couldn't defend himself if the boy posed a threat, his powers were gone ever since he had awoken here. So he carefully approached the boy, only for him to turn around and notice the smaller. D.O's eyes widened and so did the boys. D.O didn't know whether to smile or cry, so he did both as his eyes ran down the familiar features in front of him. "Suho." From the corner of his eye, in the reflection of the puddles of water, the moon was traveling to met the sun.      Even though the twelve had united, the war still burns on.     Kai looked back and smirked as he saw the headlights of the cars that had been pursuing him for quite a while. Anonymous had yet to give up, especially now that the twelve were back on EXOplanet. For the time Kai had been on the new planet, he'd grown into somewhat of a danger seeker. The last image of his mate being a horrible one and no knowledge about the others had made him slightly bitter but for the most part he had kept a cool head. He turned to the cars, they had cornered him yet he felt no fear. He just smirked and mere seconds later, another man appeared. Kai held out his hand in greeting and the other slapped his palm against Kai's. "Xiumin-Hyung, you're late." The older nodded, smirking at the younger. "Sorry, I just like when things seem more impossible to accomplish." Kai shook his head and before the two boys could make their escape, they were shrouded in black. Both males looked up to see the sun and moon meeting.     Some places lie in ruin, opposite, places lie in peace     Lay guided the two into the room, excited to show off his new dance moves. Dancing had been his therapy, it'd been his way of trying to relieve his stress. Chen watched him through the mirrors that decorated the wall, a smitten smile across his lips as he watched the person he loved doing something he enjoyed. Baekhyun on the other hand had noticed Lay and Chen's adopted dog and went straight to the puppy who they had named "Cake" in honor of Tao and Kris. The original Cake was still on Earth and her whereabouts unknown but they knew she was in good hands. Once taken by the Paladins, Luhan had requested to go back and give Cake to the local pet store, not knowing when they'd return. "Yixing, I'll make some tea." Chen offered affectionately. "Thank you, Jongdae." Lay smiled, his body still dancing but his eyes trained on his significant other. It had been four years since he'd been reunited with Chen and just this year reunited with Baekhyun. The couple had been delighted to take Baekhyun in, and c
