Kiss or Immortal Death
Epilogue
By Firefly

4001 AD
Earth

Dust and million-year-old rubble were stirred about, flying in the air mixed with dirt and other things. The ship landed roughly its base sinking into the dirt that was softened with age. The small ship looked like it was only made for at least five people in a crew and no more then that. But even for such a small crew it was obvious that this was a very, very big mission.

The shuttle door opened, mist and false light making a dream-like sequence as each of the five soldiers carefully moved from their ship. A man sniffed slightly in his space suit, cocking his pistol as he cornered out of the ship, indicating to the young woman in front of him to not shut the ship door.

"Holy shit," A rowdy looking man whispered, "I wondered whatever happened to this planet to make it suddenly...die out."

"It didn't die out, Dane," A woman scoffed coldly, "Something must of have destroyed it...why else would all this shit be laying on the fucking ground?"

He shrugged and said nothing as the crew spread out, surveying their surroundings. The upper atmosphere was black only filled with a gray colored fog from here to there. The ground showed nothing of ever having grass or plants or flowers on it, the only sign that life had really existed on this planet once upon a time was all the bricks and wreckage.

"Why do you suppose that life never regrew here?" Another man asked suddenly, looking over his shoulder at the blonde woman behind him.

"The lack of oxygen I would think, Adrian," She answered, eyes glued in front of her, "Whatever hit this planet, not only wiped out existence but took any chance of life form with it."

"Still, it's strange-" He was cut off suddenly by one of his crewmembers excited cries.

"Hey you guys! Check this out!"

He looked over to his partner before they both moved to the last of their three partner's location. Darren held something dangling from his hands that glinted in the light of their lighting device. It was a silver firefly pendant with a glowing Amethyst in the middle. It looked as if it was untouched, and not handled for years.

"My God," The blonde woman whispered, "My fucking God...how is that even possible?"

"If I'm right, Sara," Adrian started slowly, "If this pendant is actually from Earth and none of you idiots dropped it..."

The crew muttered no's and he continued, "Then this has to be over a million years old! But...how can it be in such perfect condition such as this? The chain is not broken...and not even tangled and the stone and metal are perfectly in good shape!"

Silence washed over the crew as they stared in utter amazement at the pendant. The only sound to be heard on the deserted and dead planet of Earth was the whipping wind that seemed to start up from nowhere...
