Chapter 6 - "Falling"

Nothing but darkness filled his eyes. He could tell whether they were open or closed. It was just dark no light where he looked. He didn't know how long he looked at darkness but days or weeks past with just nothing but black.

Until a tiny light far away from him appear, so far it way just a dot in the mass of black but he didn't care. He moved towards the light not knowing how but still the dot was growing, becoming bigger, filling more of his world with light.

He was right by it know he saw the tiny ball of light in front of him. He reached out his hand and grabbed it. At that moment he felt warmth fill his body, he pulled the ball of light closer to him filled with even more warmth. The orb suddenly grew brighter for a second before floating out of his hand. The orb floated to his chest a stayed there for a second before it absorbed in his body.

At that moment his world changed. All round him was star's. Shining bright all around, different sizes, colours and shapes. It was beautiful. A universe full of light of beauty where he would spend most of his life.

Soon he noticed the planets making their way round star's. Creating their own path in the wide space. He smiled, the sight somehow and him feel warm inside, made him happy but he didn't know why.

He picked one star ,with many plants making their way around it, and moved closer wanting to have a look at this solar system. He stopped for a moment just watching the planets move, even though it was slow it was soothing at the same time. It made him feel safe.

He noticed one planets seemed different from the others the land seemed to be different it's atmosphere was different from the others. Not knowing what to do he reached his hand out. Reaching for the planet.

From his hand light came off. Streaks of light came off his body and made their way to the planet below. Following his thoughts and moves. He could see them enter the atmosphere, they landed on the earth and stayed there.

A picture appeared in front of his eyes, from the world below, he could see everything on the world below. He could walk alongside the people unknowing and watch their world work.

The power that the orb had given him was light. He could see this world and become a secret part of it but he would never be known. He would watch the world go by but not be able to help.

He pulled himself out of the world so he was staring at the void of space around him. Should he spend his life watching others and not be able to help? Could he really do that?

He looked around him at the stars, at the planets peaceful and untouched. Could he spend his life looking at the blackness filled with small specs of light? The decision was his and no one else. So he closed his eyes and fell into the world below.

Soon he got used to walking the earth, he watched as weeks turned into months and months into years. He watched as peace was made and broken by war. He wandered the planet learning the language's and learning their ways. 

He spent years looking for a place to stay, one of the many countries to stay, a land to call home. He settled on a land called Korea, or the South part when they split. He felt at home there at peace, knowing the language and know the people he had watched grow.

He had gotten used to not being seen but still now and then he wished he could be a part. When he went back to space he would think about who he wished he had a family or a friend or even a name.

But one day that all changed. He was walking along a beach on the coast. Feeling the sand between his toes and the wind in his hair, when a mother and her child came walking by. The boy was no older than 6 or 7 swinging on his mother's arm. She was smiling down at him with love and affection in her eyes. The boy ran towards the ocean pulling his mum with him excited to be here.

"Slow down Chanyeol the sea is not going anywhere" said the woman to her son.

"Yeh but I am" said chanyeol his voice full of life and happiness.

He smiled watching the happy scene. He was envious of the family but happy for them to be so close. He had watched many a scene like that. Ones of lovers, ones of family's, one of new friends and ones of ends.

He continued his way along the shore, still watching the happy family. Looking at the boy play in the sea, splashing water everywhere. Until the  boy looked up. Looking straight at him. At the guy who had walked unknowing for years. For once he was seen.

The boy smiled at him, a big goofy grin showing his teeth and he smiled back and for the first time someone had seen it. The boy went back to his mother still smiling and he turned around and went back to space thinking about what had just happened.

That evening he returned to that beach but stood on the cliff near by looking out across the sunset ocean. It was a beautiful sight and he wished to remember it forever. Remember that and day and maybe the only day when someone would smile at him.

He was thinking of the boy and his family, Chanyeol I think his name was, and how happy he was with his family. He wished for him to stay that happy for his life because he deserves that. Then out of nowhere, he started singing. A tune of his own making, something personal. It wasn't sad or happy but it could change depending on his mood.

Baekhyun wandered. Like he had done so far and would continue to do but this time with a name. But he found he was wondering less and less. Spending move time in space looking at the star's than down on earth and now and then he would sing his song and Chanyeol would dream of him without knowing it.

Then one day it changed. One day Baekhyun couldn't wander. He tried many times but couldn't do it. He couldn't watch and wander. So know he was just floating. Surrounded by light and dark. Surrounded by nothing. Baekhyun closed his eyes.

"Do you still wish to be seen?" Said a voice. A big booming voice filling all around him. Baekhyun tried but couldn't open his eyes to he stayed where he was, just floating.

"Do you wish to be a part of that world?" Continued the voice.

"Do you wish to make friends and make enemies? Do you wish to make a difference?"

"I.....do" whispered Baekhyun into the blackness.

"You have watched for many years and learnt their ways. You have seen them rise and fall and yet not be able to help. A cruel punishment you do not deserve."

Baekhyun breathing quicken not knowing what was going to happen.

"You were meant to walk alongside God's with the power of light and yet you were lost to space. You found a planet and chose it as your home. A God among humans and yet they could not see him."

Baekhyun was confused, was all of what this voice was saying true. Was he a God? Was he meant to walk alongside them? He tried again to open his eyes but still, he couldn't.

"The stars are changing and you can change with them. I see a great evil heading for the planet you hold so dear. I am giving you a chance to protect it. To fulfil your job. Go to your planet and live. Love and hate and protect it from evil. Go and find him Baekhyun."

And he opened his eyes to bright white light filling all around him. Taking him away. And all he could see was a bright white and feel falling. He was falling to where he didn't know but he knew he would stay there.

That voice had told him something important and it would stay with him for he had known to for fill his destiny and it started with falling.
