~Prologue~

I bet you have glided through the air hand far apart like an aeroplane looking out onto the horizon feeling happy and free on an airship. Remember how it sounds wind gushing, the engine pumping away and birds singing like snow white.

I bet you’ve enjoyed stepping onto the oak deck, starting up the engine and going up and up wanting to never come down.

But have you been out when the first winter storm blows when snow drifts when your nose is as red as an apple. When thunder and lightning creates mazes in the sky. When even the finest dragon skin ballon could be torn like paper.

When the sky pirates come out when darkness falls when you see no regular airships. No place is safe in the winter. Hiding is useless you could say its impossible so the tales say.

~The Storm~

Lyla grabbed the rigging she is with side to side violently Aria pulled her i  side but the storm was to strong. Aria came soaring out crashing onto the deck. They both tried to get into the hall again, but with the wind against them and the deck almost a swimming pool the floor was similar to a treadmill. After five minutes of hard work trying to get into the hall the storm stopped.

The crue slowly came out seeing if the storm had actually stopped. The captain walked out instructing everyone to get back to cannon, scrubbing the deck and Lyla and Aria to look out in crows nest. Lyra and Aria climbed the rigging grabbed a telescope. All of a sudden, something flu passed the front of the telescopes.
