This Is How Legends Begin

The ark's gears hummed as strong mechanical arms pushed the 10,000-year-old ancient metal plates to both sides. The city within the ark, located close to the hull, slowly emerged into the outside world while the magnificent transformation continued to unfold. As the ship's hull gradually split into a dozen curved plates and slid off to the sides, the ancient city within began to reassemble as well. Artificial gravity kept things in place as the city's angle and altitude were adjusted to land horizontally on the ocean's surface. The two ends of the ark had already come into contact with seawater by now. There were now two opposite ends of the city, consisting of two massive islands that were connected to the city itself. One of these islands housed the Furnace of the Ancestors— the fusion reactor. Meanwhile, the other island had a series of giant metal towers—also collectively known as the Giant's Nose. This was the city's atmosphere control center.
