The land

The land (pt 2 of my sky ship story)

Melia was zoned out, thinking about she had seen until there was a loud POP coming from above the office. She felt a sudden plunge in her stomach like a really heavy wait had hit her insides, she had leave, get away. That was Melia’s plan but the sky ship got to the ground than expected. Her and the boy heard muffled voices rushing around and moving swiftly outside the ship. “Now that we may be stuck together for the rest of eternity I think we should introduce ourselves. I’m Melia!” She announced to the boy, “oh yeah umm I’m..I’m Artemis, Artemis Shingha” he spoke quietly but confidently. Ruining the moment they heard a repetitive knock at the enclosed window. Artemis peaked out the curtains to a jolly little piglet. Other than this peculiar little creature Artemis could  see crates, paths and spruce wood buildings.

Artemis unlocked the secret emergency hatch door to be crowded by animals of every breed and shape speaking and running around, the piglet he saw through the window had a big grin and grabbed Artemises arm pulling him along small patches of grass, Melia followed along all the way to a Small village bakery. The warm waft intrigued Artemis and Melia as they were dying for even a crumb of a crispy pain a chocolate with the sweet crunch moisturising they’re mouth. “ come, come I have yummy food you two can eat and then I can show you the whole entire village with a five star tour by the one and only meee, if you couldn’t tell I LOVE visitors on the island!” The piglet screamed with delight while skipping in a circle around them. There was a silent pause as Artemis and Melia exchanged looks. “Well aren’t you going to say something?” The piglet said excitedly! They knew they shouldn’t take food from strangers so they had leave, try and get up up and away.

They ran along the path glaring at the blooming spring flowers and the freshest green grass. In the distance was the fresh salty sea flowing in the chilly wind. They could see birds soaring like aeroplanes through the big fluffy clouds. There was a cold summers breeze with a smell of exotic fresh fruit. Melia and Artemis sensed something wrong with this perfect golden village but it was just soo beautiful they felt like they couldn’t leave. Artemis sudden;y saw a glimpse of what was over the water but then the distanced fog closed over his view. The harbour was busy with oak boats coming to and from the village. Suddenly something took over them, it felt like the island was closing in,trapped. Without an airship or boat there was no way of escaping now.

They were stuck and it all went black…
