“Does the walker choose the path, or does the path choose the walker?”

"You're what?" Kris asked. All eyes were on the smaller boy with a backpack on. "I said I'm coming with you all!" Baekhyun repeated, nodding his head in determination as he walked around the house, gathering more items to bring. Kai coughed awkwardly. "Um... are you sure you want to go with us? We're not exactly looking for random pedestrians to tag along," he questioned. Baekhyun rolled his eyes and looked back at Kai. "I'm not coming just because I want to go. I'm supposed to come with you," he answered as he packed some potion vials into another bag.

Luhan furrowed his eyebrows. "How do you know you're supposed to come with us?" he said. Luhan was currently fondling around with the Orb in his hands; a strange gold and blue glow was swirling within it. Tao nodded in agreement. "Yeah, I hate to admit it, but Luhan has a point."

Your eyes began burning from the brightness, so you covered your eyes quickly with your hands. The light then faded, and you pulled your hands away from your face. Baekhyun had moved the crystal away from you and tucked it back into his shirt; his eyes stared deep into your own. "I've waited years to find my destiny, and now, I've finally found it," he said, smiling at you as he bit his lower lip.
