You’ve probably been on an airship before, when the sun burns bright, the skies are blue and the breeze is just enough to keep the engine running. Remember how it feels to slice the clouds with that air brushing at your face to see the juicy, green grass on the fields and villages sat below you. All of a sudden, you start to feel free from the dusty, old house you’ve been sitting in for a while. Its better to get outside. Right?

I bet you have enjoyed vacation flights across the bay, a memorable journey you will never forget an experience you’d crave. This sky ship can tick all your boxes for that perfect ride, making you feel relaxed throughout every second.

But you should also try a trip when the winter fades away and the winds are as sharp as a butchers dagger, with the clouds darkening, for there is another matter. When the thunder growls like an angry dog and lightning crackles that would cause the airship to fall to your fate and no-one wants to experience that. Do you? When the wires snap and the engine begins to tremble to a fail that’s when the ride becomes a lot less fun…

Some say they’ve spotted sky soldiers, hiding in the misty clouds then pouncing at its pray at the perfect time to strike. Unbelievably, some say that there is flying arrows rather like a scorpion shaped as an arrow performed as a bird with its knife like wings. Though the most terrifying feature of this sky creature is that it is the smallest but most powerful sky creature ever known.

James gripped to the handles, shivering in fear. His eyes open and closed as the ship swayed side to side never in his 12 years of life has he EVER been so high up. He glanced at his sister Marissa who seemed to enjoy the ride dancing to the glistening stars that shone through the window. The blinds were open but still flapped as the breeze whipped it. They had left the city almost a week ago, as a vacation to a sunny place about a months travel away and of course James didn’t like it he hated heights and always had done. All of a sudden, the sky soldiers attack. James spotted 2 of them streak out from the clouds fire roaring towards the ship. Captain Hawk dodged the bullets of creatures that sped towards them.

“This is Captain Hawk speaking we are in for a small battle against the sky soldiers please sit in your seats and buckle up” Bellowed the captain. Immediately, the ship pulled out a canon from the window with the push of a button and shot a giant ball in the way of the sky creatures forcing them down into the ocean. Marissa was only 10 years old and had never experienced such a thing this made her worry but with the cuddle of her unicorn teddy she was just about ok. For a moment, the soldiers vanished as the captain steered us into a furious storm without thinking.

The thunder growled lightning struck and the engine stuttered still dragging its last power through the thunderclouds. The light inside started to flicker, the blinds shut, and just as they thought the light shattered and everyone covered there eyes till the puff of smoke somehow faded but still swallowed by the darkness. Both Marissa and James grabbed for the torch shone it at the floor creating just the right amount of light. Captain Hawk stared through the telescope but nothing was spotted. The clouds had blocked its way. Suddenly, we were pulled down for an emergency landing as told by the captain to the ground as the storm was so tough.

With a bang the engine trembled then shut down meaning we were heading west.
