Jisung woke up in the morning to the sound of his ringing alarm. He sighed, "another day of school". He went downstairs, grabbed an apple, took his bag and left for school.

"Sungie!", he turned his head to see San running to him with a big smile. "Hey Sannie" he hugged him. They met all the rest of their friends at the back yard. "Did you hear about the assignment?" Hyunjin asked. "No, what assignment?", "every year from now on each group in class would get an assignment, it could be anything". Hongjoong rolled his eyes, "seriously guys? You're stressed about a simple assignment?". "It's still sounds creepy to me" Jongho said. Hongjoong rolled his eyes once again.

The bell rang and they went to class. "Hello class, as you probably already knows, you'll get groups assignment. Each group has to be 7 students, you can choose your own groups and after that come to me to get your assignment.

It was obvious they all were going to be together as a group, they are 7.
"Umm, Mr. Kang, we are ready to get our assignment" Changbin said while smiling politely. "Names" Mr. Kang looked at us raising an eyebrow. "Hongjoong, Hyunjin, Jongho, San, Mingi, Changbin and Jisung". "Ok, your assignment is to go into the forest and bring me special dust, it's called Lunar-dust". They nodded and went back to their sits.

"How are we going to find that Lunar-dust? we don't even know how does it look like" Mingi pouted. "And you were scared from this assignment" Hongjoong chuckled. They kept brainstorming about their wired assignment until the bell rang. "You have a week, starting from tomorrow to finish the assignment. You don't have to come to school for the next week, but if you'll fail the task, your grade will be affected by it."

The rest of the day was pretty normal, they asked Mr. Kang about the Lunar-dust many times but he refused to give them information and only said that they'll know everything when they'll find it.

"Mom, I'm going to do an assignment with the guys, I'll come back in a week"

"Woah, wait a minute, what assignment, where, why a week?"

Hyunjin sighed, "the teacher gave us a mission that supposed to be for one week and if we'll fail our grade will be affected, the assignment is to search some Lunar-dust in the forest." He looked at his mother's shocked terrified face. "Mom? What's wrong?"

"You know, there is a reason no one ever been in the forest in the last 10 years. In that forest there are creatures, not animals, not humans, they are very dangerous. The beauty of the forest might seem innocent but it is dangerous."

"Am I going to die?"

"No, I know you're strong enough to survive"

Hyunjin hugged his mother and went to meet his friends at the bus station near the forest.

"Are you sure this is true?" Mingi asked fearfully.
"My mom never lies"

"Seriously? Don't tell me you actually believe those fairytales" Hongjoong scoffed.
They started walking into the woods with big bags on their backs, full of equipment they need to survive for a week. Half of the scared, half of them just want to finish with this.

After two hours of walking they stopped to rest, the forest views are really breathtaking as Hyunjin's mother said.

"How are we going to find that Lunar-dust?" Jisung asked.

"Lucky you, I went to the library to look for some information about that, apparently there are many fairytales and stories about it." Jongho opened his bag and took out some old heavy books.

They started to read on of the stories:
The creatures in the forest weren't what people thought they are, they were more magical. All the stories about vampires, werewolves, witches, maremades, fairy's and other magical creatures came true in that forest. At the beginning, every human who entered the forest could've see the magical creatures, until humans started to live in fear of them and hunted them. The creatures had to hide for the rest of their lives from the humans, they never shows themselves, but they're always there.
For years, humans chased after something they wanted to reach, the Lunar-dust. The Lunar-dust is very rare dust that shows once in 1billion years when the moon is shining in blue and the sky colored with amazing blue, purple colors, amazing view that most humans would never see. The next time this would happen is at 2020, supposed to be in May 23. Why people want the Lunar-dust? The Lunar-dust is a cure to every illness including death, the person who drinks it with water from Alkaras lake that located in the forest would get supernatural abilities, every person has different reaction for the Lunar-dust. Example: one person can get the ability to fly, while another person can get the ability to read minds. If the Lunar-dust gets to the wrong hands it can cause a very big explosion that'll destroy earth.

They stopped reading. "Wow, that was a lot of information" Changbin said.
"It might not be truth you know, fairytales" Hongjoong said.

They kept bickering about it, not noticing their being watched.
