EXO(엑소)TREE OF LIFE:《ORACLE》

<>•4•><<><TWO•MOONS•><>><•4•<>

It was almost the end of their first day of school. And to no avail, they couldn't even get past stage one. It only seemed to worsen, as the girl ran away in terror to the sudden unexplained event that took place before her. How did twelve omnipotent beings ever come to a world so, well, normal. Then again, she herself was never typically normal

"Duizhang."

Kris looked at the pack before him. He knew that they would look for guidance in him and Suho. But what could they themselves do. It's not as if, they could make her get back all the memories that wasn't necessarily her's to begin with. It was difficult.

"Suho?" Instead he asked for his opinion. No answer.

"Great..." Chen rolled his eyes, leaning against the wall of the school building in defeat.

"Uh, let's at least try to get through the rest of the classes first." Xiumin said, while munching on a peculiar looking round thing.

"What the hell are you eating?" Chanyeol loomed over his shoulder to see.

"A Baozi. It's like, steam bun I think."

"Can I have some?"

Xiumin scooted away from Tao, keeping himself at the far back....of the end of the hallway. "No fair, hyung!"

"Ah, I can probably learn how to cook. So we can eat these...steamed stuffed buns of which you speak of."

Yifan and Junmyeon gave each other heavily judge mental glances, then stared back at the childlike guardians, a bit cheered up to see their innocence still in tact.

"Are you guys done playing around? We have a job to do."
Sehun broke the positive atmosphere, being the first to take the lead.

I reached out of the cafeteria just in time, panting non stop at the feeling of my heart racing. It was so embarrassing, why would he do something like that and...that meant, he did know who i was.

When he, hugged me. When my body was enclosed pressing tightly against his. He felt like, a little boy. But, he himself, was no boy. Why? And the way he, spoke. His voice sounded broken, and alone. And for some reason, I felt like we've known each other forever.

'I knew, it was you'

That voice replayed in your head like it was stuck on record.

And the feeling of pain left your body, once you got away from the twelve 'transferees' Looking at yourself in the bathroom sink mirror, your slender fingers brushed away the bangs in your face, as you saw something...oddly shaped, marked on your forehead. It was glowing ominous colors, that seemed indistinguishable on the rainbow or color wheel. It soon faded . Whatever was happening to you, it was far from normal.

"I never asked for this."

"Did you see her?"

"No, she wasn't in class."

"But you said you both were in the same room-

"I don't know where she is! "

{-TWO MOONS-}
"This is hopeless...Sehun scared her off; what are we gonna do now it's already after school hours."

The Guardians stopped. Something, was wrong....The sky, looked different. When their heads turned upwards, there was not only one but two moons. Standing across from each other, from different planes of the same earth. Time was running out.

"When did that happen?" Kai stared at the display in shock and worry. "Is it- Starting, already?"

The eclipse. The final, eclipse. Which signified how many more moments they had left before the end.

The flustered fiery headed Chanyeol gawked, frowning

"We...can't go back without her. There must be another way, we can't just go-"

"Stop being selfish for once!"  Xiumin yelled, putting out the younger's flames. "Can anyone come up with a plan?" and nothing.

Instead, they just head back out into the woods. There was no point in trying, since it was already the end of the day. later on the wolves were at rest, well,  except for one.

By a lake, i stared at the glistening scene before me. Staring into the even that would seem so apocalyptic in just a matter of, give or take, a month. I couldn't help it. Thinking back at that time....i still remember what it felt like. Placing shaky fingers on my lips, my eyes closed, letting my mind roam around about that night. The night before it all happened. It was...light and airy, terrifying yet alluring. The pulsating throbs, hastened breath, and mind scattering thoughts...in a second, i rushed it all. It was temptation at first lust. I was warned, but never did I care of the consequences. We both connected, blinded by desire. Only to be betrayed by my ownself, once it was all over. But. Those feelings, that one strong one in particular, never faded. No matter how many years passed by. Her everything is exactly the same as it was then. Not too mention the rivalry.

"Yifan." of course he'd be the one to show up. The irony. I turned back, facing the man who had laced her heart first. "Suho." I breathed, looking into his lax smile. I envied that he was so straight to the point. Where as I could say or do nothing, he was able to play it out fairly. By day, she and he were side by side exchanging little glances every now and then. Though she favored his feelings, he followed the rules. She made sure of it. "Still thinking of the past..." he asked, walking beside me. "Yeah." He eventually figured it out. I went into her sanctum one night, jealousy consuming my judgement. I wanted nothing more than to have her eye. Those eyes. She didn't deny me out of pity, and empathy. I didn't know what it meant, or why i did it, or what it even was supposed to prove. But i felt the need to connect our lips with one another. Then all of those feelings of self hatred, went away. Someway, somehow. I did it. I got it through, still not understanding just what it all was. "Who do you think she'll choose?" he knew. Always has. Since that day, her majesty looked at me differently. When our faces met, she would turn paler than the moon itself. More radiant and beautiful in comparison. "If she remembers at all, when the time comes. Which i'm not sure will happen." I quarried. He was unintimidated. "I'd think it was me." "Hmph." he laughed. "We'll see." "The plan, Suho?" "Get close... we have a good amount of time before then." "It'll be difficult- "What other choice is there?" She still was so pure to us all. Despite what happened, only we knew. The two of us. Like the moons...
