"Bound by fate, ignited by magic—when love awakens the power within."

The ancient cabin sat deep in the heart of a forest untouched by time. Jeongin stood in the circle drawn on the wooden floor, the air around him buzzing with the magic his brothers channeled into their youngest.

"Ready, Jeongin?" Chan asked, his voice calm but firm.

Jeongin nodded, nerves fluttering in his stomach. "Yeah. Let's do this."

Minho smirked from where he stood, flames flickering in his palms. "Don't mess this up, little brother. We've waited centuries for this."

"Not helping, Minho," Hyunjin muttered, rolling his eyes as he controlled the stream of water swirling gracefully around him.

"Focus," Chan said, his eyes glowing faintly. "This spell will guide Jeongin's mate to him. We need precision."

Seungmin, eyes half-closed, murmured, "I can already see him coming... a boy with purple eyes. He's close."

"Then let's bring him home," Jisung said, his voice full of determination as the ground beneath them trembled slightly in response to his power.

Jeongin took a deep breath, letting the collective energy of his brothers fill him. The air grew dense, shimmering with light as they chanted in unison.

Elsewhere...

Felix stumbled through the forest, drawn forward by an invisible force he couldn't explain. His heart raced, and he shivered against the biting cold. "Where am I?" he whispered, staring at the trees that seemed to lean closer as if guiding him.

He reached a frozen lake, the ice glinting under the pale moonlight. Something about it felt... wrong. His breath caught, and before he could stop himself, the ice cracked beneath his feet.

"No!" Felix yelled as he plunged into the freezing water. Darkness enveloped him as his body grew numb.

Back in the cabin, Hyunjin's head snapped up. "Someone's in the lake. Drowning."

Chan turned sharply to him. "Can you feel them?"

"Yes," Hyunjin said, already moving toward the door. "Jeongin, come with me. This might be—"

"Go!" Chan ordered, his voice brooking no argument.

Jeongin bolted after Hyunjin, the wind at his heels as they raced through the woods. They reached the lake in moments.

"There!" Hyunjin said, diving toward the water, his hands glowing as he commanded the lake to part. The freezing water shifted, creating a narrow pathway to Felix's unconscious body.

Jeongin extended his hands, the wind lifting Felix from the water and carrying him safely to the shore. "He's breathing, but barely," Jeongin said, kneeling beside him.

Hyunjin glanced down at Felix, his eyes widening as the boy's lashes fluttered open to reveal glowing purple irises.

"Jeongin," Hyunjin whispered, his voice uncharacteristically soft. "It's him."

Felix's lips trembled as he stared up at them, dazed. "I... I don't know why, but something brought me here."

Jeongin froze, his breath hitching. He didn't need confirmation. He already knew.

"Welcome home," he said softly.

Hyunjin scooped Felix into his arms, his brow furrowed. "He's freezing. We need to get him back to the cabin before he goes into shock."

Felix blinked up at him, his voice barely above a whisper. "Who... who are you?"

Hyunjin looked down at him, his face softening. "We'll explain everything, I promise. For now, just trust us."
