Destined

Souls

The last thing you want to hear is that the heroes of our tale died in a battle they hoped to win, stories usually show a happy ending or leave us waiting for a sequel. Things like that don't happen in real life, there is no happy ending. There is a constant fear of the looming future, the hourglass (connected to us all) is mere seconds away from it's grains of sand running out. What life failed to mention is that all life does go on even if the bodies of our heroes do not. Every person in the world has a soul, some souls belong to the innocent while others belong to those surrounded in darkness. It is this soul that continues to live and breath in different bodies every generation.

Chanyeol, Baekhyun and their friends are somewhat exceptions to this rule, their souls have been passed down from body to body with each generation that comes. Their souls are linked into a continuous loop, forced into the exact same versions of the bodies they had died in during their previous lives. A curse that has plagued them for centuries and goes back to an oath far older than anything you can imagine.

The twelve wolf creators -turned protectors- had made an oath to themselves and their late mother that they would return to their world as the humans they had created in order to help rid the universe of the growing darkness, that had been released into the cosmos after a furious battle between two of the wolves. (Which to those curious readers will be discussed at a later date).

"At a later date, what the hell is that supposed to mean?" Kris hissed, sending Sehun a glare after he had read out a section of the book he had been carrying around on his person for the entire week. "We need to know things now, we don't have time to waste!"

"Kris it wasn't me that wrote this blasted thing" Sehun reminded the elder wolf, whose anger seemed to only double after Sehun's words. "Ms. Lee did, everyone already knows how much she loves to hide information from us."

"Clearly it isn't important if she hasn't written a chapter about it" Luhan explained, gesturing with his hand to the book still in Sehun's hold. "if we are to survive this battle with Daehyun then maybe we can ask her about it, but until then it's water under the bridge. Got that?"

The two werewolves grunted in response, they sent each other a glare but spoke no more. Instead they turned their attention to Baekhyun who was shifting through the dead wolves in an attempt to locate anything that could offer them some sort of understanding behind Kyungsoo's disappearance.

"It's my fault.." Jongin spoke out, disturbing Baekhyun and Suho from their search of the wolves. "If I had joined him instead of staying in bed last night I probably could have prevented this."

"We are not playing the blame game." Baekhyun hissed, his eyes narrowed as he stood up from searching a gray haired wolf. "As far as the eye can see it's just wolves on this ground, which means that even though Kyungsoo was weak after his ceremony he was still able to cause quite the amount of damage. The lack of his body means that he's still alive which then begs the question of his value, Daehyun wouldn't keep someone alive if it isn't important."

"Isn't it obvious?" Chanyeol's monotone voice filled the air, his words instantly drawing attention. He was standing by the fridge, his eyebrows furrowed in the center of his forehead. He was looking at something behind the machine but since Baekhyun was in the living room he couldn't see the counter next to it. "Daehyun knows that we all care about each other, Kyungsoo was the hypothetical weakest link between us because he had used so much energy in his ceremony thus making him an easy target. They clearly knew what they were up against considering how many wolves Daehyun sent after him, Kyungsoo put up one hell of a fight to take down twenty pureblooded wolves but his body would have easily been worn out quickly. They took him when he was at his weakest, but even then they would have only been able to carry him so far. Parking Lane is close but it isn't as close to the school as one might think, there are multiple other villages near here and the closest one is Chestnut Valley towards the east. Mother uses it as a supply chain during the winter, they're well aware of who we are and what type of people we are. They have protection spells keeping them out of harm's way but a simple overwritten spell could break them and since we all know that Daehyun has witches on his side, this shouldn't come as a shock. To put it simply Kyungsoo has been taken to act like bait, drawing us towards them."
