Legends ; EXO Fanfic ; OT12

When the skies and the grounds were one,
the legends,
through their twelve forces,
nurtured the tree of life. 
An eye of red force created the evil 
which coveted the heart of tree of life, 
and the heart slowly grew dry. 

To tend and embrace the heart of tree of life, 

the legends hereby divide the tree in half 

and hide each side. 

Hence, time is over-turned 

and space turns askew. 

The twelve forces divide into two 

and create two suns that look alike 

into two worlds that seem alike. 

The legends travel apart. 

The legends shall now see the same sky, 

but shall stand on different grounds. 

Shall stand on the same ground, 

but shall see different skies. 

The day the grounds be kept a single file 

before one sky in two worlds that seem alike, 

the legends will greet each other. 

The day the red force is purified, 

the twelve forces will reunite into one perfect root, 

a new world shall open up.

so ever since i started stanning exo and i saw the video for "mama", i fell in love with the concept they had about "the legends". some people might find it ridiculous or whatever, but to me it was rather intriguing. and i loved the narration at the start of mama because it was so epic.

i thought it would make for a great fanfic.

then i watched the pathcode teasers and they also really caught my attention in the sense that they had been filmed in different parts of the world. 

since i know yifan and luhan were not part of the pathcode teasers for obvious reasons, i searched for locations and assigned some to them. i gave them both locations in mexico bc im mexican and its my story. also since the other teasers spell call me baby with the locations, i thought to use locations that start with X and O for yifan and lu.

then i started developing this idea. the kinks have not totally been worked out yet, but i thought i'd just post this so that i will feel compelled to write for it now.

thank you for your love and support!

EDITED ON FEB. 16TH, 2018: SO I DECIDED TO REWRITE THIS BECAUSE I LIKED WHERE IT WAS GOING. BUT I STARTED WATCHING STRANGER THINGS, AND I KIND OF GOT SOME IDEAS ON HOW TO BASE THE WAY THEY WERE KEPT IN LABS FOR YEARS LIKE THE CHARACTER "ELEVEN". MOSTLY IT WILL STAY THE SAME. 

I'M JUST MAKING SOME MINOR EDITING AND CHANGES. THANK YOU.
