     Once they reached the second floor, Cinnabar can't help but gawk at the interior designs. Every wall was painted in either white or grey. The metal railings with swirling designs reached the second floor's edge, so the large living room can be visible from above. Before her was a large hallway with a lot of grey doors. At the end of the hallway was a two way glass doors that were framed with wood, leading to what seem like a balcony.

     "Wow, Namjoon, this plage is huge." She spoke, still looking around. She heard a deep chuckle from Namjoon. "I'm glad you're liking it so far." He replied before stopping in front of the first door to the right. Namjoon fetched the keys from his pocket and inserted the right one in the keyhole of the doorknob. He opened the door and led the awestruck Cinnabar inside.

     "So this is your room....err...for now you're alone." Cinnabar gingerly entered the place and was welcomed by the sight of two single beds separated by two beige bedside tables. The beds were made of wood and both have baby blue colored pillows and blankets. Two huge closets, both in beige too, were trapping the two beds. A few meters from the ends of the beds were two study tables. The walls were colored in cream.

     "There are two other rooms, assuming you all are seven since the crystals are seven too." Namjoon spoke from behind her. "If you want, you can check the other rooms."

     Cinnabar walked towards the bed that was located to the left and sat down. She smiled at Namjoon. "No need, I think I will just stay here, I bet they're all the same anyways."

     "If you say so." Namjoon followed her and placed the full duffel bag beside her. "Very well, let's take our rest Cinnabar. You must be very tired." He told her, considering the fact that she performed at the festival and didn't even get a wink of rest because of the revelation he told her. She responded with a nod. "You rest, too. I bet it was more tiresome looking for me in Bewardomne."

     Namjoon shook his head in disagreement. "No, actually, Hegirald was my first destination." He replied with a smile, which reminded him about consulting Yoongi about his dreams later in the day after his rest. "Someone kinda predicted I'd find you there."

     "Ohh," Cinnabar nodded slowly in acknowledgment.

     Before the silence could take any longer. Namjoon bid his goodbye towards Cinnabar before finally leaving the room.

     Cinnabar sighed once the door was shut. She looked around once more as she drowned in her own thoughts. So much has happened in a short span of time. Everything happened so fast. She could not believe she agreed to come to a stranger's house just because he told her the world needs her. She could not believe the crystal chose her to be one of the seven powerful beings that will save the planet from destruction. She began to wonder about what the crystal saw in her that she was chosen.

     She needs saving more than the world will ever do.

     "Ahh, there's no point thinking about it." She told herself, flailing her arms. She casted her gaze down on her bag. "Might as well unpack before resting." She told herself, dragging the zipper open. "I don't want these welcoming me when I wake up."
