Sometimes, Red doesn’t understand why he’s the Chosen One. He wonders which legendary was drunk and decreed that they had to saddle a human with insane magical power and an order to take care of the world all by him self.

Well all right, he’s exaggerating a bit. He’s not completely alone – he has Charlotte, who is kind of like an older sister and kind of like a fireball at times, and he has Lance, who is absolutely wonderful.

She always knows what to do to take care of him.

Does it matter?

It’s almost a relief when he falls in love, because at least this way, he’ll have someone to walk beside, someone he doesn’t have to hide duty from, and someone who will never judge him as insane.

Because Lance is also Chosen – and only Chosen can understand what other Chosen must go through.

And when the stars fall and time winds to a standstill, they will have each other, so he kisses Lance, and forgets about destiny.

I seem to have trouble sticking to only 100 words. Hm. But sometimes I also have trouble stretching words. *Sigh*
