Episode 2 The Stargrazer is Dead.

The dragon still thrashing about in the remains of the Stargrazer, Captain Yan Herk helped Roy and Katie get out of the burning skyship and onto the tree. The dragon followed in pursuit and let out another fiery breath that seared Katie’s hair. She screeched and almost toppled off the tree.

Captain Yan Herk bellowed “jump!!!!” and Roy heard the others land on the ground but he was too scared to jump because the tree was so tall. Roy took a deep breath and jumped just before the dragon stepped on him.

When Roy landed he thought he had broken his leg and he cried out in pain. The others soon came and carried him to a cave that was under the tree. The dragon didn’t come after them because the dragon couldn’t see them and anyway the trees were very thick and very tall almost blocking out all the light in the forest. Once they were in the cave Captain Yan Herk said: “As soon as the dragon has gone we will go to the nearest village and hopefully get some help”. Roy didn’t like the sound of that hopefully, not one bit…….

When the dragon had finally taken off some hours later, they all went out of their cave, Katie and Herk carrying Roy. Katie looked up and saw their faithful skyship was close to ashes and right on cue Roy said in a jokey manner “The Stargrazer is dead”.

Suddenly Captain Yan Herk shouted out “I think I see a village!” Katie and Roy let out a cry of relief. Soon the three set off, Roy helped by the two others. They were about half way there when Katie let out a sudden squeal and pointed “There there!!!!” her squeal was so loud it almost burst Roy’s eardrums. “What is the matter there’s nothing there” Roy said. But Roy still wondered if there was really something there…….
