The Prophecy

Y/N's POV.

A few days had passed by, and it occurred that there had been not much of progress on the making of the new transportation for the stranded group. From the moment the order had gone through that a new ship of some kind was needed to get built, workers had immediately began tinkering and designing the strangers new transportation. The only problem seemed to be that it took them a lot longer than they had expected it to take. However, this had only given you and your group a whole lot more time to explore this wondrous and magical island. Though perhaps you didn't think of getting into such a mess that you now was in when you had first gotten to this place. 

You had made sure to stay a certain distance from Taehyung since the incident in the dark room, making sure that you were never alone in his presence or avoiding him completely if possible. His little sudden change of mood and choice of acting towards you, had shaken you a little. It wasn't that you were scared of him, heck he actually reminded you of how Jungkook could behave at times, and he happened to be your best friend. The reason was rather that you felt like being apart from one another maybe could solve whatever struggle that had made Taehyung act the way he did, it was still a mystery why he had changed his mood so sudden. So maybe just maybe this could make him turn back to that kind but rather special man that you first met in the woods.

With this thought in mind, you had decided to go on some exploring as you still had barely seen anything more than the palace and a slight glance at the town. With quiet movements, you had managed to get up from your sleeping spot which was rather close to Jungkook, who only was sleeping some few bits away from you. His soft snoring and his dark fringe that had fallen over his closed eyes, made him look like such a innocent young boy. A small smile appeared onto you lips as you threw a last glance at him, before sneaking away from the dark room and out into the now quiet corridor. 

It was still early morning and the sun had just barely began rising on the horizon. Covered your body with an old cloak, you tiptoed past some guards with the shadows as your shield and hurried through one of the smaller passageway that took you out through a narrow little door on the side of the building. You had found out about it while being out on one of your walks during the other day, and now found a good use for it. 

Thinking that not a soul with some kind of wit could be awake at this early hour more than the guards then of course, you figured that it would be safe to roam around as you pleased for a bit. Your feet was tingling to just get out on some adventure, to seek around and see whatever you could find. After all, you were a bit of a daredevil or at least you enjoyed stepping out of you comfort zone for some adventures every now and then. 

Strolling through the narrow little paths, you soon came a bit outside of the village, entering the big forest that surrounded the whole thing. Then an idea just popped up in your mind. Thinking that the sunrise would most probably be something above the usual in a place like this floating high up in the air, so wanting to have a look you decided to make an attempt of climbing one of the big trees. 

Tree climbing was nothing that you had never got to experience as a child, considering the place that you had grown up in wasn't exactly nature friendly to say the least. But countless of times you had read about kids building little tree houses and just having a fun time in trees, had definitely always been a fantasy for you as kid. And here you were, climbing a huge tree on your own in the middle of a weird floating island that no one even knew existed. 

Though man was it worth it once you eventually reached the top. 

Golden lights mixed with peach and pink colours painted the sky, and the deep orange sun appearing in the east was truly a stunning sight. It was almost like someone had taken a big painting brush and painted the sky like the most beautiful artwork, who knew that the world could be such a wonderful place at times.
