To The Edge Of The Sky| VMinKook

Chapter 2

**Jimin's POV**

"What's going to happen now?" I ask, glancing up at my friends seated with me in the VIP section of the bustling cafeteria. The atmosphere is thick with anticipation, and I let out a deep sigh for what feels like the hundredth time. My gaze drifts around the room, feeling the weight of everyone's eyes fixed upon us.

Suddenly, the air shifts as Hoseok hyung speaks up, his voice cutting through the chatter like a knife. "Aba zaub ski pa bib!" At his words, the entire cafeteria seems to freeze, as if time itself has paused.

"Thought you would be comfier," I reply, trying to steer the conversation back to a lighter note.

I pull out the necklace I found yesterday, letting it dangle in front of the group for everyone to see. Its intricate design sends a chill down my spine, and as expected, Namjoon hyung is the first to react.

"You know something, hyung?" he begins, his tone shifting to one of seriousness as the rest of us lean in closer, eager to hear what he has to say.

"These are the heart of Luna—the broken pieces of the moon," he reveals, his statement drawing gasps from the table. Our eyes widen in disbelief.

"What do you mean?" Jin hyung interjects, confusion evident in his voice as he attempts to grasp the significance of what Namjoon just said.

"Luna," Namjoon continues, "is the Moon goddess, and these shards are remnants of her realm, shattered when she unleashed her powerful crescent—a symbol of life and death— to obliterate all living beings that roamed the earth." My jaw drops in shock, mirroring the astonished expressions of my friends.

"Mind explaining why the Moon goddess would do such a thing?" Yoongi hyung, who had been dozing off, now fully awakens, his curiosity piqued.

"In the ancient myth, there exist three moon goddesses, known as the Triple Goddess, sisters to the sun. Each goddess possesses one half of the moon, and while it seemed harmonious, Luna was acknowledged as the principal goddess. Her dominion extended over the realms of human life, werewolves, vampires, and all creatures connected to the moon's phases," Namjoon elaborates, and Hoseok hyung and I exchange uneasy glances at the mention of our own natures.

"As the tale goes, the Moon goddess fell deeply in love with a mortal she watched over from afar. Every night, she would ride her majestic white horse to encounter him under the stars. Enchanted by his presence, he played exquisite melodies that captivated both her and the world around them, possessing the unique ability to halt time itself. She showered him with countless gifts, but still, it wasn't enough; she yearned for something more—an everlasting bond with him, just like others experienced."

Namjoon's voice lowers, drawing us further into the narrative. "Desperate for a solution, Luna sought counsel from the others, but they all turned her away, deeming it impossible for a goddess to unite with a mortal. Yet, her determination knew no bounds. Unwilling to accept this fate, she resolved to defy the laws of nature itself, attempting to persuade her brother, the Sun, to relinquish his place so that she might shine forever in the sky, illuminating the world."

The table is silent, each of us utterly transfixed, desperate to know more about this mythical tale and its implications for us.

In her relentless pursuit of power, she achieved her ambitious plans and ultimately seized control over the entire solar universe. This unprecedented domination triggered a catastrophic shift in the fabric of time itself, leading to devastating consequences for both mortals and immortals alike. The delicate balance of existence was threatened, putting countless lives in peril and bringing the very notion of life as they knew it to the brink of extinction.
