Man on the Moon [Completed]

Jimin, shut up

☽

"Everyone," Namjoon projected, the entire residency of the ship standing at attention to him. He had called a meeting after the ship landed about fifteen minutes ago. Standing on the plinth of his captain's chair, Namjoon addressed everyone amongst the crew - divine and all. "We will exit now. I checked in the laboratory, oxygen levels are stable. We landed at the city of prophecy, an ancient civilization with no civilians. Eme assured that this place has the potential of becoming a haven for the rest of you Divine." Eme stood off next to him, gleaming with an enormous smile. "While you all exit the ship and give your last goodbyes, we will go to the oracle and achieve the tapestry, then be on our way. It was a pleasure to have you all on my ship, I wish you all the best."

He gleamed brightly at the Divine, only to receive icy stares in return. Namjoon's smile dropped, muttering obscenities as he stepped down from the plinth.

"Namjoon," Hoseok ran up to his captain, trailing in his steps as Namjoon prepared to open the doors to the ship. "We're just going to let Eme's sister's run off? We don't even know what's out there."

Namjoon heaved, gazing at the worrisome Corgen before checking some stats. "The planet is uninhabited by any humanoid or highly intelligible race. There's only nature and the oracle. Eme was the one who suggested this location."

"Eme?" Hoseok furrowed his brows, diverting his gaze to Eme only for a moment before looking back. "Didn't you say there was a civilization?"

Agitated, Namjoon pivoted toward Hoseok, "uninhabited."

He began to walk by the Corgen, turning off the ship's system to put it into rest mode. "So what happened to its habitants?"

"Genocide." That wasn't the exact answer Hoseok was expecting. His jaw gaped open from the words stuck in his throat, he meant to say something, but that one word threw him all the way off. So, Namjoon continued on. "Nearly every single living thing on this planet was killed or enslaved because whoever came here was willing to destroy everything just to get to that tapestry. Obviously, they were unsuccessful in achieving the tapestry... but they were successful in... other places."

As those words rolled off his tongue, the ship's doors beckoned open. Behind them was the pattering of footsteps, everyone eager to see their new destination. Hoseok, on the other hand, was left in utter shock.

There, before them, were the ruins of a massive civilization within the crevice of a valley. Overgrown vegetation raided the small city, twisting into severed halves of buildings and crumbled columns of fallen architecture. It was a beautiful disarray, but the sight left a hollowing effect.

On this very ground was where millions have died just a century before.

And Hoseok felt as though he was a direct cause of this. After all, his people did contribute to this very genocide.

"Okay everyone," Namjoon ordered, "off into the city of Eden."

The group began to trek from steal grounds to crisp dirt. Yoongi and jimin stood side by side, the latter holding Pini in his arms. Namjoon, Hoseok, and jin trekked out, Eme scaling on next to them. And finally, Jungkook walked loosely next to Taehyung and Tzuyu, "Eden, like the garden of Eden?" The bunny questioned to himself, although, loud enough for everyone surrounding to hear.

"A celestial made this planet," Eme ventured next to the boys. The rest of the Divine were heading down to Eden while the space crew -- including Pini, Eme, and Tzuyu -- were hiking up the tallest mountain of the valley. "This celestial had spent much time on Earth and built an undeniable connection to humans. Eventually, she came back here and tried to create a better version of Earth. This whole planet was created by her and also became the chosen place to hide a tapestry halve."
